SEVERAL WESTERN ROADS ARE INVOLVED IJInorlinlnntloti in Itnten Citlen 111 All I'urt. I of I Country Coiu- ItlulncU Of. WASHINGTON , Nov. 17. There are a num ber ot important eases pending before the Interstate Commerce commission , some ot v.-hlcb nmy bt > decided teen , while others are yet being invnitlgHtcd by the commteiion. The Arkansas and Kanni grain rate cases , which crew out of a complaint of minor importance , have developed until many ques tions and various lines lu the we t are now involved. The Kansas Board of Hallway Coimiittfltoners Is among the complainants nnd the subject of ratec from Missouri river points mid milling in transit are affected. The cij.ort rate coses are still being in vestigated by the commission. Different roads are complained against , it being as- netted that they have Issued from time to time tariffs on exports to Liverpool and other points abroad , In which the trans atlantic uliarc of the rate was Ices than the rates to the seaboard. One of the moat Important CHICK before the commission In the complaint made by the New York Produce exchange again * ' , trunk lines to the seaboard , charging dis crimination against New York City and In favor of Iloeton , Philadelphia. Daltlmore and Newport News. A similar question was de cided a quarter of a century ago by a com- mlseloii of arbitration couclxtlng of Judge Cooley. Senator Thurman and Ellhu 1) ) . Waishburiie. In the Bouthwcst there are several com plications and one cr.se which Is considered important Is that of the Texas common point rate from various polntn on the Missouri and Ml&slmlppl rivers. It Involves raten on car load and lens than carload lots to distrlbnt- ing points in Texan. Nearly all of these distributing centers In Texas get the name- rate * from all points. Galvestun and other noaboard points generally are not Included. The complaint IH made by the Business Men's league of St. Louis , which wants a rate on less then carload hits to local points outside of tin. ' distributing centers , the same BB on ccrload lota. It Is claimed by them " that b > reason of the carload lot rate being lens than rates on broken carload lotfc the dl/itrlbuting points aie able to compete with St. Louis and other large wholesale centers. The Dalian people in the panic coses toin- jiluln against this Texas common point rate and want a lower rate where the haul Is much longer. Another case coming from Texas , which lias behind It the entire cattle-shipping In T terest , is the terminal charge on care of live stock hhtpped Into Chicago. Formerly the roads entering Chicago charged a rate to that city which Included delivery of the car at the stock yards. In 1894 the roads established a terminal charpu of $2 per car on live stock in addition to the rate to Chicago. It is of this additional charge that cattlemen now complain. The Impor tance of the case is Increased by reason of the fact that In a decision about two years ago Judge Gros.seup of Chicago he'd that charges in a cane of this nature were Illegal. Since then , however , the court of appeals has reversed that derision , but the com plaint of the cattlemen Is predicted upon grounds differing in some respects from those Involved In the case decided by Judge Grocs- cup. cup.From the southern Atlantic seaboard comes a case before the commlsrilon upon com plaint of the Savannah Freight aosoclatlon. In which It is charged that the fertilizer rates from Charleston to points In Georgia , Ala bama and Florida discriminate against Sav annah. It is asserted that the roads make the Hiuno rate from Charleston as from Savannah over a longer haul and where the haul Is made over several different linen , while the haul from Savannah Is over only ono or two roads.

The Spanish minister , Ser.or IJupuy de Lome , doea not expect - poct to bear of any decisive battle lu Cubs unless the Spcnlsh troops should be so for tunate as to corner the Cubans. He sayu that Mac''o has no force with which he car. give battle. The Spanish troops , he thinks , will have to chase the Insurgents from place to place , destroy their supplies and planta tions and prevent them from reaching the sea , where they can secure new supplies. In case Gtneral Weylor's troops were able J to gut thu .Insurgents In a corner there joilght be a battle of some Importance , but I otherwise the Spanish minister does not look for a p'.tched battle. Ho saye the fight ing must bo like lighting Indians In this country , driving the Insurgents from one covert to another. He does not look for Im portant advices from Cuba except posslbb the death of Maceo , which he believes would mean the end of the war. He estimates the force which Maceo Is able to collect und control nt from 3.000 to 4.000 men. The subject of hostilities between Spain und thu Vnlted States was mentioned and the Spanish minister met. it with a gesture of derision and declared it was sensational ism. He said that In this country there were Jlngoe * who wanted to make Uncle Sam a great bully. whcroaK he wan a peace able and good natured gentleman. Then was In Spain a class of Jingoes who were of the same kind and who were always anx ious to stir up trouble. He said that Spain's position was to take care of her own and defend herself and that was what she wa& going to do. Thi Spanish minister is well pleased with the rucoetfc of the Spanish loan. He re ceived a cable incBEag" today saying that more than $100.000.000 had oeen subscribed , which , he says , rpfutra the assertion that Spain Is a poor and brukrupt nation , unable longer to carry on the Cuban war.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17. Tbo work of placing our harbors In a state of defense In Hummed up In the report of the Hoard of Ordnance and Fortifications , nlgncd by General Miles , ColoneM Frank and Ilalnen , Major Phlpps and Mr. Outhwalte , and made public today. It says : "Under the Increased appropriation of the proeont fiscal year the work f placing our harbors In a proper state of defense Is mak ing Rood progress , nnd If only the same nums arc appropriated annually for a few j-earg our principal ports will present a for midable front to an attacking fleet. It Is hoped , however , that even more liberal ap propriations will be made , in order that we may noon be ready for an emergency that may arise at any time. In view of the pres ent serious aspect of European politics It ta only common prudence for this nation to be on Its guard , for , should a conflict arise. we are liable to be embroiled with some iwwor whose navy , In the present defence less condition of our coast , might destroyer or exact enormous ransom from our chief cities. " "A war. If It comes at all. will come with no warning , and no time for preparation. China , with undefended ports and an In adequate navy , was defeated In a few months. In the last war between the great military powers of Germany and France the surrender at Sedan occurred only forty | days after the declaration of war. The wars of nations occur In cycles of varying length , but seldom does a generation pass without a great conflict. Already more than thirty years have elapsed since our last grcut war , nnd another may soon , If the. past be a gludc to the future , terminate one of the longest Intervals of peace we have ever enjoyed. Our engineering de partment Is ready with the most modern plans for fortifications , and our ordnance department Is prepared with designs for guns and carriages. If congress will but Increase the appropriations to the capacity of those departments for useful and econ omical work , It will not be long before our coasts are secure against the attack , of for eign powers. An effective preparation for war Is the best safeguard against war. " The foregoing summary cloBCK an ex haustive report giving every detail of the progress of fortification , the examination of Innumerable devices of attack nnd defense , the testing of guns , gun carriages , powders , arms , mortars , armor , etc. A long list Is given of devices which have been exam ined and not approved , and a smaller list of those approved or under consideration. The report contains a letter from Secre tary Lamor.t. In which he points out that the board was created at a time when con gress was taking the first step In the exe cution of a project Involving an ultimate expenditure of more than JIOO.000,000 , the purpose being to have a body of experts to pass on the advancing stages of arma ment. Recent yrars. the secretary writes , had witnessed a rapid evolution In war ma terial. Foreign nations had armed nnd re armed at short Intervals. Costly material bad been manufactured , much of it to be thrown out as defective or because out classed by superior Invention on the part of a possible enemy. Mr. Lament sug gested that the work would be expedited If the board established certain definite "types" of Implements and engines of war. In nnswer to this the board specifies a long list of "Implements and engines of war for which satisfactory types have been de termined. " The work being done in the various works and arsenals Is reviewed In detail. XUZrKI.A ( JIST.S T1II3 ROM ) I < A\DS. l-r SCrilKKH DlMIMINMI'H 11 | < > I'Mfty-Yciir IVrm Cliium * .

Mr. Scruggs BBS'S the effect of the clause making fifty years essential to constitute "nettled districts" In the Venezuelan boundary dispute will be to give Venezuela the entire Harlma gold country , which Is the most valuable tract In Venezuela , nnd also the entire Orinoco river country.

The Drills ! ) have a coaling station and rendezvous on one of these islands , but Mr. Scrugiw stiyn the British occupancy began In IShfi nnd cannot possibly corn- ' within the fifty- year term of the settlement. In his opinion the evidence will narrow the British fifty- year occupancy to the small strip of land. triangular In form , between the Cuyunl and I'omeron rivers. This Is far to the east and muth of the valuable Orinoco and Uarlma country , which constitutes the great issue at stake. CO I AM R 12 OP SILVER HOLLARS.

Representatives of the Santa Fo Hallway company appeared in the district court of Jefferson county to day for the Initial open court contest against the proposed partition of Santa Fe property. As a result of the hearing Judge Lewis A. Myers ordered stricken out the amendments offered by Assistant Attorney General A. A. Goddard to the original petition and refused to permit the transfer of the case to the federal court. Charles F. Johnson will not be given an opportunity to act as receiver. His failure to qualify Is considered warrant for the appointment of a successor , and a new receiver will be created tomorrow. At the outset the suit Is becoming sensa tional. Mr. Keeler succeeded In getting Mr. Goddard's name spread upon the court rec ords , coupled with rather radical charges of corruption. On the other side proof was offered of Mr. Heeler's having offered to sell out to the railway company , but the court refused to receive the alfldavlt. The hearing was set for 3 o'clock this afternoon at Oakalcosa. The plaintiffs had expressed the Intention of moving to strike out the amendments offered by the attorney general , and It was to act upon this motion the court convened. Mr. Goddard forced the court to the consideration of a new point. The court had no right to convene In Jeffer son county at this time , he maintained , und any proceedings transacted at such a session would be void. The October term of court had been held In Jefferson county , but It had reached a close and the same court was now In session in Jackson county. The ad journment In the former county had been until December , and not until the present time. The Jefferson county court could only bo in session at the Dresent time , he main tained , under one of two theories : It must be an adjourned term or called by order of the court made prior to the adjournment. No order had been Issued at that time , so that theory became untenable. The other was equally so because It required the ex istence of'the same court In two places at the same time , a legal Impossibility. - "I have examined very thoroughly Into this question , " said Mr. Goddard , "and am cer tain of my authority. Under ordinary cir cumstances I wculd not take this step , but In view of the extraordinary action of those who claim to be representatives of the state I consider It my duty to the people who de mand It. " Mr. Goddard explained that be had considered the action he had taken necessary. Although he had failed to con sult the county attorney , he bad done so be cause be bad understood new steps were about to be taken and wanted to prevent this. He had acted throughout under the advice of the governor. " "Tho manner and circumstances. " the Judti > responded , "under which the amended petition was filed seem to me absolutely unprofessional. The matter of duty to oath of olllce I will leave to the attorney general and his conscience. I will recognize In this case only the county attorney and not the attorney general. " Mr. Keeler drew up and presented to the court an order charging Mr. Goddard with contempt of court , but the court said that he did not have time to consider the matter , and , therefore. It was passed. Mr. Goddard also presented a counter or der charging Keeler and bis associates with trying to sell out , but the paper was not accepted. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ CHICAGO it XOHTIIUIl.N I'ACIPIC SALI3 Knllrnnil Property OOCH to n Syndl- < ! . ' .r for IZiKlit Million Dollui-N. CHICAGO. Nov. 17. The Chicago & North ern Pacific railroad with all Its properties was sold at noon today at the court house for $8.000,000. W. Allen Butler. Jr. . pur chased the road at mastcr-ln-cbancery's sale for himself and J. Edward Simons , Henry Budge. Robert C. Martin. Simon Sterne , Wil liam Merle-is and A. S. Heldelbach. The sale was lu charge of Henry W. Bishop , master-ln-chancery , appointed by Judge Jenkins of the United Stales circuit court at Milwaukee. Its effect Is to place the insolvent road and all Its resources In the pcssesslon of the bondholders' commit tee. There was no contest. Butler's bid of $8,000,000 was the only response that greeted the master as he completed reading his or der of sale. From the fact that there was no opposition It Is understood the-conflicting Interest * ; of the Wisconsin Central and Northern Pacific companies have been har monized. The sale today was overdue. There was a bonded debt of $28.000.000 , jnr.O- 000 due Chicago for the ground on which tbu station ntands and $395.000 owing to Edwin 11. Abbott and John A. Stucrt. trustees of the Wisconsin Central company. The Judgments presented by the deputy sheriff at the sale today were land damage verdicts secured In the superior court In favor of J. J. Pierson. June 20. 1S90. The company bad issued bonds to the amount of $28.000.000. Of this amount the reorganiza tion commlttco holds all but $194,000. The complications of the Chicago & Northern Pa cific with the Northern Pacific and the Wis consin Central have been of the most puz- zllngvariety. . In Its fundamental aspects there are a few things which are safe nnd suie. But beyond them there Is a labyrinth of leases , releases , subleases , contracts and guaranties that few men can follow with out Inviting nervous prcstratlon. The purchasers would give no hint of the manner In which they intend to operate the property. IIUOURAM7.ATKI.V OF THE ItCAIM.\G.

THAT HOC1C ISLAM ) JIEDCCTION. OillrlnlN i\iilnln tbc niNclmrKc of Traltniirll. W. H. Truesdalc , third vice president and general manager ; H. A. Parker , assistant to President Cable ; John Sebastian , general passenger and ticket agent , and George F. Wilson , superintendent of motive power and machinery , all of the Chicago & Rock Is land road , passed through Omaha yesterday afternoon. They occupied a private car at tached to the Rock Island's westbound ex press , and eald they were going out for a week's Inspection of the western lines. They will go thicugh to Colorado. In conversation with a Bee reporter Mr. Parker said : "Business is quiet with us , but It ehows signs of improvement soon. There was a beav > movement of freight just before the new rates went into effect , No vember - . because every one took advantage of thu lower rates offered before that time. Naturally then there IH not such a heavy movement now that rates have been restored. " General Manager Trucsdale was much amused , as well as surprised , to learn that twenty freight crews had been taken nff the Iowa division of the Rock Island. He said It was news to him. "When grain shipments were heavy a short time ago , " he added , "we put on a large number of extra crews to help handle the business. Now that the rush is over , we have been able to dispense with the additional service then used. I do not know the exact num ber of these extra crews that have been let out , but it Is not nearly t.o large an thin paper ( the World-Herald ) states. " Nr\v Form iif Mlliie < : . The lines east of Chicago will , at a meetIng - Ing on Thursday , consider the advisability of adopting a ii.000-mile Interchangeable ticket. There Is a growing sentiment among the railroads in favor of granting the re quest of the commercial travelers who have been praying for micii a mileage book for a long tljiu. Should the eastern lines make such a move , It Is not Improbable that those west of Chicago will fall Into line. The matter was considered at a meeting of west ern Ilne in Chicago last week , but action was deferred until the eastern lines had de cided what they would do.
