The morning session before the ex
fttninor-lt'-chanccry of the federal cour
VIM furlhor engaged with Iho case of Die
Ualtcd States against the South Orraha Lh
Stock exchange. Antono L Lott , secretary
of thn exchange , occupied the sUnd durlnj
the morn'tig ' , and was examined by Warrcr
Svvltzlor In behalf of the defendant , ani
United States District Attorney A J San-
jcr , for the government.
Mr. Icon's tcntlmony was corrobaMtlvo ol
that given Wednesday by Richard Gllchrlst
ox-prcsldcnt of the exchange , In regard tt
the orginlzatlcn being a monopoly
Ho Raid H was practically Impossible foi
any comm'aslon merchant to transact busl'
ness In South Orr-ilia without having
membership In the exchange. The member !
were under the discipline ot the body , In
nald , and were nubjcct Jo fines tor noa-ob
Bcivanco of rules. Ho gave the Instance 01
t'.io firm of George Adams & Burk , who ba <
been convicted of Binding a prepaid tclcgrnn
to a Kni'fai customer giving the comlltlor
of the market and had been fined $200 it
consequence Mr Loll \Vis asked rcgirdlnc
the dockage fund and b\ reference lo tht
books stated that thcro wis now ? SM In tht
treasuiy from thh source Ho described thi
nrbltiary rule which Imposed a charge of If
cents n car on hog nhlnmcnts fet Inrnecllor ,
and dockngo nol legally required and whlcl :
It la claimed by Iho government atlorneys
amounts to tin'hlng ' more than a robbery ol
the fanner. It was s'jovvn that this systcn :
of tolls amounted to a good many hundreds
of dol'ars a ywr , and Is nald lo Inspectors
The assumption of authority by the ex-
cliango was further shown by the caseol
Jackson , Hlgglns ta Co , who had been finctl
, S230 for receiving a shipment from n man
named Burke which had been originally
billed to Woods Brothers , but had been
deflected through Iho efforts of the former
firm's traveling solicitor. Burke had re
ceived $150 for giving his tostlmony In the
ias ( ? Other assumptions of a court's au
thority were glvn , a non-observance ol
which Involved a heav > line Among these
was the rate of commission charged by com
mission men which must moct and not ex
ceed n certain amount under the liability
of a heavy penalty
In the examination of Mr. Lot !
by Mr. Sivllzlcr emphasis was lak
on the fact that the cxehangt
was not In business ftr profit , that no dlvl-
> * dc id was over declared and th t the pur-
, & jioso of the organbatlon ivvas simply for the
guaranty of good faith among the commis
sion men and to establish a uniform system
of dealing and charging It was i S3crted
that tt was nol absolulely Impossible for a
merchant lo engageIn business without a
membership In the exchange but It was ad
mitted that It would be made exceedingly
unpleasant for him.
All WAGGONIJU'S TESTIMONY.
The aftorncon was largely occupied by tht
testimony of Al > Waggoner , one of the mem
bora of tlio exchange , whose testimony cov-
tied somewhat olmllar ground to that ol
Colonel Lett. Mr. W" ggoner ivas questioned
at length In regard to tr-e system of busl
ines used by the exchange- and as nearly
cvciy question was objected to by Iho al-
tornoys for Iho respondents , the examina
tion was somewhat tedious.
The witness was asked In regard to the
solicitors employed byi rlous commission
llrms and his testimony shone ] that while
the solicitors wcro out sending catlk
owners to the South Omaha market , they
also took occasion to look Out for prospect
ive buyers Some pains wcro taken to brins
out the fact that the cattle were b-ought to
South Omaha and sold to purchasers , who
shipped them out to various other s'/ates
Th < > w tncss also lestlfled that In most cases
the cattle were billed through to Chicago
In order to secure the advantage of the
throimh rate
Much of Colonel Lett's lesllmony was cor-
loboralcd by Mr. Waggoner. The liltcr
stated In reply to a question that In h.j
opinion It was Impossible for a commission
man to do a successful business at the South
Omaha yards 11111088 ho was a member of the
oxchunge. Ho was also questioned at length
In regard to the system fellowcd by the
comm sslon uncn of procuring loans on
feeders , taklug as security a mortgage on
the herd. Ho stated that these mortgages
contalnc-d a clause which bound the feedere
to sell the catllo when they were ready for
market through the firm thai had procured
them the loan.
INTERSTATE FEATURES.
L C. Rcddlnston , manager for Clay , Rob
inson fi , Co , was placed on the stand
to verify the fact that cons derablo business
< lone i.t South Omaha wouli come under Ihe
head of Interstate commerce On this polnl
ho testified that lib firm had dealings with
shlppeis In AVjom ng and other states anil
thai fcedeis had been consigned lo farmeis
In consideration of chattel mortgages there
on.
on.In yesterday's report of this o so , In the
Ipstlmony of William A. Hlgijlns , the rate of
Interest charged should h.ivo been stated
at from 7 to 10 per cent. Mr. Hlgglns also
testified that the "dockage charge on hcg
TV as 15 cents per car Instead ot 15 contsi per
head. IJx-Pres dent Gllehrist insisted th t
his testimony was misquoted. lie says lie
testified that the rule In regard to momber-
fihlp was net charged for the purpose of
freezing out the Oiuaba. Live Stock Commis
sion company ,
Ono Instaeico ot the benefit of the ex
istence ot ttio exchange was brought oul
In Iho testimony of Mr. Gilchrlsl , Al ono
tlmo A commission firm was detected In
r overcharging \ customers In the matter of
feed furnished At once ? OIO , the amount
thus secured , tvas taken from the firm by
the exchange , and through Its secretary wax

CHICAGO , Feb 3 The Atchlson and the
Rock Island roads gave notice today to
Chairman Caldvvell ot the Western Passen
ger association that beginning next Sunday
they would reduce the first class passenger
rate between Chicago and Denver by $5 , the
cut to be operative In both directions
The announcement to the chairman was
the sequence of a. conference held this morn
ing between the general passenger agents
of itho Northtvestcrn , Uurllngton , Atchlson
and the Rock Island o\er the fast trains
which the two former lines have announced
between Chicago nnd Denver. The Atchlson
nnd the Rock Island having longer routes
to Denver than the oilier two roads cannot
meet the fast itlmo made by the North
western and the Burlington except at great
expense nnd Inconvenience.
They therefore asked that an extra fare
bo charged on the new fast Iralns and that
they bo used as "limited" trains. To this
request the Durlinglon and thf > Northwestern
lefuscd to accede , saying that the business
would not warrant them In charging more
than the regular fare The Rock Island and
the Atchlson then asked that the fast trains
be taken off , contending that the amount of
the Colorado business at the present time
was not of sulllclent volume to warrant any
special train service. Tnls request was also
refused , and then the Atchlson and Hock
Island announced that thcro was nothing for
them to do but make a rate lower than
offered by the other two roada , and said
that on 'the ' dale on which Iho Imrllngton
and the Northwestern Inaugurated their fast
train service they would reduce their rate
between Chicago and Denver by $3.
The Uurllngton and the Northwestern said
thait they would meet any rates that were
mndu by the Atchlson and the Rock Island ,
and would still keep their fast Iralns In
service.
As hocn as Iho matter was reported to
Chairman Caldvvell , he called a meeting of
all Interested lines for tomoirow to consider
itho matter and to sco If some settlement
could not be reached The trouble Is certain
to Involve passenger rates between Omaha
and Chicago , and Kansas City and Chicago ,
as well as the through latcs to Denver ,
Inasmuch as the fast trains of the Burlington
and the Northwestern will shorten their
running tlmo to both of these cities.
Iho rates which will bo made by the
Atchlson and the Rock Island will apply
to Pueblo and Colorado Springs as well as
to Denver.

NEW YORK. Feb 3 The order ot the
Mexican government to the Mexican Natlona
railroad and the Mexican Central railroad
corroany that they must discontinue handling
commercial and other telegraphic messages
between the United States and Mexico grovvb
out of the fact that nearly a year ngo the
Mexlcai-i Central and Mexican National com
panies entered into an arrangement with the
Postal Telegraph eotrpaay whereby the lat
ter conirxtny extended Its American lines lo
El Paso and began building to Laredo , to
effect an exchange of business at the Mexi
can border , and have over since been carryIng -
Ing on a through telegraph service to the
Mexican capital
The olHcals ! of the Postal Telegraph com
pany in this city said today that tholr com-
pEay received Information some time ngo to
IMe effect that the Mexican government had
enlered Into a contract of exclusive connec
tion v 1th the Westein Union Telegraph com-
nany for the exchange of commercial tele
graph business with all the railroad lines ol
Mexico , and that the effect of thin contract , if
carried out , would bo to orevent the rail
ways , who own their telegraph lines , from
transmitting commercial business which thev
have contracted to exchange with Hie Postal
company. The Postal officials further e\
tiViIn that the railroad companies say thcli
concessions from the Mexican government
as clonly confer upon them the right to
transmit commeiclal telegraph business as
lo operate their railways.
