It Is now believed that the Chicago , Great
Western , Minneapolis & St. Ix > uls and Wla-
connln Central roads will Join the Western
Passenger association within a short time.
The entrance of these three roads Into the
association now In session In ChlcaRO , will
practically unite together all roads operating
In the west on a. common basis of rates and
the hope ha often been expressed In pas-
Bcncer circles that thcso roads would Join
the association and thus put a stop to the
unstable condition of rates In territory
touched by thcso lines an well as lines be
longing to the association , which were unable -
able by reason of this fact to meet the re
ductions.
The delay In Joining has been long and
many excuses have been offered , but It Is
now thought that the strong pressure which
lias been brought to bear on the Great
Western , Minneapolis & St. 1/ouls and Wis
consin Central has neutralized all objection
and that they will enter the fold as Bonn
as the necessary preliminary arrangements
can be completed.

The flrat notice received by the local
oincos of the Mireourl Pacific concerning
the boycott on the Gulf road was received
through the Southwestern Freight Commlfl-
nlon t St. Louis by Its secretary , George
W. Calc. This notice Is to the effect that
the Missouri Pacific haa signified Us Inten
tion to cancel nil through ratrfl In connec
tion with the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf
line , becoming effective on the 31st Inst.
In vlow of the fact that the Missouri
Pacific announced that It would not cancel
existing rates until the date above men
tioned there wan liomo speculation as to
why It refused to deliver to the Gulf line
at Kansas City u few days ngo , four cars
of freight consigned to points along the
Gulf line. The explanation given Is that
Missouri Pacific cars contained this freight
and the company did not dcslro Its cars
to got on the Gulf line for fear of ex
periencing eonio dllllculty In getting them
bade after trafllc relations had been severed.
For this reason the Missouri Pacific de
clined to deliver Its cars to the Gulf line
end compelled It to transfer the freight Into
its own cars.

KA'NSAS ' CITY , Mo. . Aug. 23. The freight
boycott on the Kansas City , Plttsburg &
Gulf railroad by ton of the strongest of the
western lines will go Into effect next Tues-
Uiiy. Then It seems likely will como either
n desperate war In freight rates or a bitter
conflict In the United States courts.
The receivers of the Plttsburg & Gulf
( ire confident of victory , but decline to state
now what moves they Intend to make. S.
W. Pordyco , ono of the receivers , today ro-

"Wo can't glvo away our case , " Bald he ,

forearmed for the lines that arc fighting us.
IWo did not go Into this light hastily. Wo
mode sure of our ground nt first. I can only
Bay that wo will establish a principle which
will bo satisfactory to Kansas City. "
There are no now developments In the
'boycott ' case. The Missouri Pacific still
holds thrco cars of grain billed to the Pltts-
iburg & Gulf and refuses to deliver them
tinlosa the Plttshurg & Gulf provides cars
da which to reload the grain and pays the
cost of transferring.

INDA'S HEARINGIS RESUMED
_
ne-Rxnmlnnilon of AVItncunrn Tlirotrn
\o : VeTF MKlit on the Mr" *
tcrlonn Cnne.
The hearing of Anton Albert Inda before
Judge Gordon waa continued yesterday
morning without an Incident out at
the ordinary to vary the monotony
of testimony that has been re
peated several times. No witnesses other
than the policemen nnd station officials were
examined and their statements related to the
Incidents following Smith's arrival at the
station.
Deputy County Attorney Lee Hclsley pro
pounded qucotlons for the state In place of
Judge Shields , who merely listened nnd
offered occasional suggestions. No new light
was thrown on the case. The offlcers re
peated the testimony they gave at the In
quest , Important only as showing the police
did not know Smith had been seriously In
jured and the wound , prior to probing , did
not appear to bo any thine moro than n
scratch.
Mrs. Ryan , matron at the clly Jail , testi
fied that the wound on Smith's nose must
have been Inflicted several hours before he
was brought to the station for the reason
that the blood appeared to have dried.
Henry Wlsenberg , sergeant of police , said
In substance the same as the preceding wlt-
nws. Ho described the appearance of the
wound , stating his belief that It was In
flicted several hours before arrest.
The other witnesses examined were Om-
cors Johnson nnd Sergeant Bcbout , who
acted ns jailor the morning of Smith's
death , their statements bolng a repetition
of evidence given previously.
Tom Lowls , Smith's companion on the
morning of the tragedy , was the principal
witness of the afternoon session. Ho stated
that Inda held him 1 > y the left arm , with
the right hand , wlien ho struck Smith with
hla left hand. 'Ho did not BOO a weapon
used. L/owls Bald 'ho heart ! no talk during
the evening of any trouble or fight In
which Smith had figured. The only periods
of ILmo Lewis did not accompany Smith
wore -when Smith went Ho Perry Phillips to
got n pistol , nnd when ho and Smith parted
at the Midway ealoon nnd did not iinect un
til an hour later at Shannon's. During these
Intervals , Lowla eald , ho could not tell what
happened to Smith. Lowls 'then ' described
the trouble which caused the ill will between
himself nnd Asa Graham. It resulted , ho
said , from a game of craps. The quarrel
was first between Smith and Graham , nnd
afterwards Graham's lro TVUS directed at
himself.
Lawls said he- feared Graham would shooter
or cut him , and so expressed himself.
Smith then volunteered to protect him from
Graham If ho should attempt to use a gun
or knife. When Lewis still refused to leave
the saloon for fear of Graham , Smith offered
to procure a gun nnd went to get ono.
WWlo ho was cone , LewJs did not know
anythlnR nbout Ills movements.
Robert Hutchlnson , the lunch man , said
Smith appeared the night preceding his
death no different than usual. His voice
was as clear and his spirits were as bouyant
as ovor.
Assistant Coroner Baker told of finding
the wound on the nose nnd probing It. Ho
said the ooronor , N. P. Swanson , discovered
the aperture on Smith's nose before ho did
and probed It with a hairpin to the depth
of an Inch. Ho then took the hairpin nnd
bonding It straight Inserted It in the wound
about four inches. Afterwards a physician's
probe was used. Baker said itho wound ap
peared to him to bo made by a bullet. Ho
had soon many bullet wounds , ho stated , nnd
this appeared to be llko all the others.
Perry Phillips was placed on the stand to
toll the circumstances ot Smith's arrest.
His testimony disclosed nothing now.
Phillips was the last witness examined dur
ing the afternoon. The court adjourned un
til 9 o'clock this morning.

the exposition company proceeded to con
struct an eight-foot fence around three

James Crcelman , who came out to Omaha
to attend the fusion conventions as the rep
resentative of Mr. Hearst of the New York
Journal , returned east yesterday , "I have Just
been trying to get a grasp of the polltlca
situation In a few of the critical states am
my visit to Omaha Is part of the trip to
Nebraska and other states. What I wanted
to see hero was how strong the personality
of Bryan might bo and the general disposi
tion to keep him to the front as a presi
dential candidate. In this respect my ob
servation Is that his following Is firmly
cemented to him and to strengthen the view
that his prospects for renomlnatlon In 1900
arc most promising. "
iMr. Crcolman expresses the opinion that
the question of Imperialism will overshadow
nil other issues in the coming campaigns
nnd that a now alignment will bo taken
with Imperialism ns the dividing Issue. Mr.
