THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FATUHPAY, JUNE 27, 1003. ( CHICAGO HURT AND CRYING JtwpUint on Lira Btoc't Eaten ii Prompted Only by Jealouij. I DISCRIMINATION LIES AGAINST OMAHA HUaoarl River Point Are Able, How. trtr, to Man Their Oreaad r Rcmob of Xataral Advaa Over Chloac. A ret deal of comment and discussion Tm barn caused In local business and rail road circles bjr the complaint, before the Interstate Commerce commission, of the Chicago Live Stock exchange that there Is discrimination In live stock rates against Chicago and In favor of Omaha and other Missouri river packing points. One of the prominent members of the freight bureau of the Commercial club, who to well posted on rates, after de claring: the complaint of discrimination absurd, aatd: "It to not of the rate Itself that Chicago to complaining, for as a matter of fact it can be shown that the present aaatbound ratea, of which com plaint to made, discriminate against Omaha and Missouri river points, but It Is because Chicago to losing ground In the west, and will continue to lose ground In the packing business. "The rates from points In Nebraska, or other western points, on live stock and . packing house products, to the Atlantic seaboard bjr way of Omaha are. In fact, higher 1 than ratea from the same points to the seaboard by way of Chicago, ao that the discrimination Is, aa stated, really gainst Missouri river points. But this dis advantage is overcome, and will continue to be overcome, on account of other ad vantages enjoyed by the western packing canters aa against Chicago. One of these advantages Is proximity to the source of supply of the raw material, and It was this closeness to the great corn belt, which produces the hogs, and to the ranges and grass lands, which produce the cattle and sheep, which caused the location of packing houses In Omaha, which has caused them to continue to growand which has made Omaha a key point In the situ atlon. Abo t her Great Advantage. "The second great physical advantage of Omaha and the Missouri river polnta as compared with Chicago la the nearness to and control of the great western trade clear to the Pacific coast, and the export trade from It; of the also great domestic southern and southwestern trade, and of the export trade through . Onlveaton and the gulf ports. But for these natural physical ad vantages Omaha and the other Mtuimirl river points could not compete with Chl cago that Is, unless the discriminations In favor of the big city were removed. "If you will take the rate on 1,000,000 pounds of hogs from Ashland, Neb., for ex ample, to Omaha , and the. rate on packing house products from Omaha to Chicago, you will see at once the difference In favor of the latter city; or take the rate on 1.000, 000 pounds of hogs from Ashland to Omaha and the rate on the packing house products from Omaha to the Atlantic seaboard and t compare It with the rate on the same hogs from Ashland to Chicago and on the prod ucts from Chicago to the eastern seaboard, and you will, see where the discrimination In favor of Chicago cornea In, for without regard to where the hogs are killed the rats from the Initial point, that la.' the star tlon at the farm, to the market should be equalised. Baalaesa Comes Ratanllr. 'It to only natural and Just for the west ern packing centers to slaughter the cattle, sheep and hogs from the transmisslsslppl territory, rand hey are' 'able to- do so. Omaha to able to take care of the live stock from Nebraska, and , Its tributary territory outside the state and It Is simply carrying out good and correct business principles for it to come here. So far as the railroads are concerned they would rather handle packing house products than, live stock from the Missouri river to Chicago; It to In every way a cleaner business. In shipping live stock from the Missouri river to Chicago there must be stops for watering, and if there are delays the roads may have to pay damages for dead animals. The shrinkage on the way la also an Important item. Then only 20.000 pounds of hogs, for example, can be hauled In a oar, while 40.000 pounds of pack ing house products goes in a car. "Chicago Is hurt and la crying for help, that is all there Is to the complaint of dis crimination. And unless It can Induce the fallroads to haul live atock from the Mia- url river to Its packing houses for noth lV' or at such a very low rate that they would lose money. It will continue to be hurt so far aa getting live stock from the western farms and ranges Is concerned. AT THE PLAYHOUSES Ferris atock Company at the Boyd. The regular mid-week change of bill 'by the Ferris Summer Stock company at the Boyd theater was postponed one night by reason of the wonderfully successful run of "Oraustark," but was put on last night, "Wife for Wife," a comedy drama based on life In the south before the war. It found all the members of the regular com pany working together again, and wa given with the snap that has so far markedi the work of this organization. Mr. Blddons has a character cast In heroic lines, but one tent varies In some particulars from the ordinary, and gives It the life the peo ple have learned to expect from him. Miss Pavey, too, has a character that suits her very well, and her work was well ap plauded. Cecil Owen, as George, the slave. who is the marplot of the piece, did his Work so conscientiously as to earn the condemnatory tribute of two or three vig orous rounds of hisses. He makes the vil lain quite enough to suit the people. Miss Carmontelle, as Martha, showed-'another phase of the delightful versatility and adaptability which has marked her as one of the most useful of utility women. The piece Is carefully and appropriately set and Is presented with much fidelity to detail. It will be given again this afternoon and evening. i NEW DIVISION HEADQUARTERS Roral Free Delivery Service Office Movea from Denver to Omaha. Lew W.

ENVOY ASSURED OF COURTEOUS REFUSAL Muscovites Declare Thev Can'Tol-" crate No Interference In Their Internal Affairs by Any' Out side Power, WASHINGTON, June 2C Tho Russian government has learned with profound re gret of the intention of the Washington au thorities to forward the Jewish petition relative to Russia's treatment of lts Hebrew subjects. It Is still hoped that the United States will appreciate the Russian view of the case and content Itself with the kindly expressions of sympathy which It already has offerod for the affair at Klshlneff. Mr. Riddle, the American charge, it is stated, when he presents the petition at the Rus sian Foreign office, will he received with the same cordiality always accorded an American envoy. In returning the petition to Mr. Riddle the officials will assure him that Russia cherishes no 111 will toward the United States, and the action It lakes with respect to the matter is necessary in view of Russia's unalterable plan of not Interfer ing In the Internal affairs of other countries and insisting on similar treatment for Itself. The Russian government hopes its firm ness In the maNer will not be misunder stood, but In the view of its announcement of its position weeks ago It is surprised that tha developments will force a reitera tion of its views. Mr. Riddle, It can be stated, will be sub jected to no personal embarrassment : In presenting the petition, but will be given to understand that the St. Petersburg au thorities appreciate the fact that he Is only carrying out his orders. Should the presentation of the petition be deferred until the return to St. Petersburg of Mr. McCormlek, the American ambassa dor tp Russia, the same program will ob tain unless In the meantime the Russian government Is made aware of extenuating circumstances which put the matter In a different HkM. Indeed, it is declared Russia would lie-glad to do anythln.-r possible to relieve the tension in the United States, but feels unable to sacrifice a principle which it has followed hitherto and the American support of which it has warmly indorsed. The Russian government readily admits the sincerity of the American government's decision and declines to listen to reports that the petition has any ulterior signifi cance or Is in any way associated with any other matters.
