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.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 17. 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.

TOPEICA , Kan. , Nov. 17. 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. 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.

MILWAUKEE , Nov. 17. The receiver
ship proceedings of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company , BO far as the railroad
Itself is concerned , came to an end In the
United States court this morning , Judge
Jenkins discharging Frank G. Blgelow and
Edwin H. McHenry as receivers In the con
solidated action , und they and their sure
ties are released from all liabilities on
their bonds.
The order of the court , however , does not
terminate the receivership against the com
pany or the olllces of Mr. Blgelow and Mr.
McHenry us receivers , there being nothing
in the order that in any way altectfi the re
ceivership and the appointments of the
receivers- under the supplemental bill of
complaint filed last May. The discharge of
the bond , however. leaves the receivers
without bonds , and they are required by
the court to furnish bonds In the sum of
J50.000 each within ten days. The receiver

pany that was not covered by the numerous
and myriad conditioned mortgages exe
cuted by the company consisting entirely of
rongrreslon.il lands. Just how much prop
erty there is that the receivers have In
charge Is not known. Judge Jenkins hav
ing referred the matter to Alfred Carey ,
the special master , to take an account , and
also at the same time to ascertain and re
port to the court the names and residences
of creditors of the company. Carey has not
yet ms.de his report. The order discharg
ing the receivership , so far as the railroad
property Is concerned , however , does not re
move the property from the jurisdiction of
the court. The foreclosure decree under
which the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany , the new corporation and present own- i
ers. purchased Imposes upon It the obliga
tion to pay all liability and Indebtedness ,
Incurred or contracted by the receivers , and j
makes such liability a Hen UIHJQ all the |
pjoperty that passed under the decree. The
court , by virtue of the decree , reserves the
right to at any time retake and resell the
property for the purpose of satisfying any
Indebtedness or liability of the receiver
ship. In the order discharging Receivers
Blgelow and McHenry there IK no mention
of compensation. Receivers Payne. Oalccs
and Rouse , pending an order of the court ,
drew salaries at the rate of $18.000 per an
num each , and In addition to this amount
each received J3G.250.

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. "

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.
