Proportional (rain rates between the Mis
eourt river and Chicago are to be cut to 8
tenia on wheat and T centa on coarse grain
The announcement of Mia reduction on cc
oata and barley wti made yesterday at U.
offices, of the Chicago Great Western rail
road In Chicago, and inquiries at the ofllcea
of the Milwaukee,' Burllngion and Alton
roads In that city elicited the Information
that any. cut would ba met.
Aa a result of tha announcement yester
day of a cut from 10 to 8 cents a hundred
on the proportional rate of wheat, iOn.ono
bushels of Kanaaa City cash wheat was
thrown on the Chicago market yesterday.
According to officials of the Chicago Great
Western the 7-cent proportional rate on
coaraa rains la a "go-as-you-please" ar
rangement and will go Into effect aa soon
aa the legal notice to the Interstate Com
merce commission can ba'glven.
The reductions, it is as id, have been
brought about by the agitation of the Kan
aaa City Board of Trade, which threatened
to bring suit to compel . the weatern rail
roads to reduce the rates on wheat from
10V to I cents, the rate charged for flour.
Milwaukee Starts the Trouble.
The tight was brought about by the action
of the Milwaukee In making a rate of I
centa on wheat and flour from Omaha and
Kansas' City to Chicago. The rate was 10
cents on wheat. but tha Rock Island has
been giving a lower rate from Kansas City
on export Hour, and It Is supposed the Mil
waukee has put In this new rate to meet
the action of the Rock Island In giving an
8-cnt rate on export flour. The new rate
will rtm' from' July '36 to August 29, and the
other roads will be compelled to meet It.
They will fight the Rock Island's cut on the
theory1 that' the raw material cannot be
hauled cheaper than the finished product.
Railroad officials say they can't see how
they can confine tha out In grain rates to
wheat, whan corn la entitled to a lower
rate ' than wheal. Although thla Is tha
wrong season for- grain to move through
the gulf ports. If the fight Is continued th
guff- tines probably will take a hand in
' the rata 'cutting, and Nebraska's excess
' crops will have the advantage of cheaper
rates .to the seaboard. 1
i W; tyjyh ten - tfie"M trwaUt ee wt wrtg
innlly was 12 cents, but some time ago
Stlcfcney' cut 'ft to 10 cents. The Mil
waukee's action Is distinctly In favor of
Omaha, While applying to Kanaas City, to
give the Milwaukee . the full benefit of
the competition It la forced to meet by the
action of the Rock Island.
. Late Thursday afternoon Asalstant Gen
eral Pteight Agent Phlllippl announced that
the Missouri Pacific had decided to cut Its
rate on ' flour and wheat . from Omaha to
Bt. Louts, Minneapolis and gulf points 2
centa to meet the Milwaukee's cut.
Thla statement ' was Issued last evening
by General Agent Churchill of the Great
Western:
V publish effective July 80 from Council
Bluffs, Omaha, Bt. Joe and Kansas City
proportional rates to Chicago: Wheat, 8
rents; coarse grain, 7 rents; to east Mis
sissippi river, when destined east Indiana,
Illinois state line, wheat, 8 cents; coarse
grain, 4 cents; from Council Bluffs and
Omaha to Bt. Paul and Minneapolis, wheat,
T cents; coarse grain, A centa; from Kansas
. City to Minneapolis, wheat, 8 cen's; coarse
grsjn, 7 centa. No reduction made in rates
on grain products. Minneapolis rates will
also apply to Mankato, Red Wing and all
Interior Minnesota . mills. All rates will
apply as maximum to Intermediate points
and will expire August 26. No elevation or
other allowance will be made.
Northwestern Meets Rates.
The Northwestern has announced It will
meet the Illinois Central's rata for the
round trip from Omaha to Chicago August
4. a and ( for 88. The road has alao de
cided to meet the rate of the Great Western
from Omaha to Milwaukee Auguat 11, when
tha Eagles take their flight. The Greut
Western rate applies via rail or water,
while tha North west em's rate la all rati.
When it was first nnounced the Great
Western would haul passengers to Mil
waukee and return for 18 the strong roads
sat buck and declared they would not
mrrt the rate,, as they did not care for the
business at that figure.
The Burlington has announced, in con
nection with the rate cutting to and from
Chicago, that August 4, 8 and 8 it will
make the same rate apply from Omaha to
Peoria and return. Thla la done because
of the large Interchange of business be
tween Omaha and central Illinois and to
make the occasion a sort of home coming
for Illinois people who have moved to Ne
braska. Tha Burlington haa Included in
this reduction in connection with the 18
rate to ' Chicago and Peoria and return
similar reductions from all Nebraska points
on the Burlington. The rate from Interior
points to Omaha will be on the basis of M
per cent of the one-way fare. A laige
movement Is expected.

Notwithstanding the assurances of Traffic
Manager Gower of the Rock Island that
hii. road would do the right thing toward
Omaha about grain rates, Mr. Gower will !

that bo concessions have been secured by
local commercial lntrreats and the boycott
against the line la still in force. At the
same time negotiations for a settlement
era not closed and the grain men believe a
satisfactory . agreement la in sight. After

ments for a reception to be given to Wil
liam J. Bryan at Madison Square garden

of a letter written by Mr, Bryan to Alex
ander Troup of New Haven, the treasurer

of securing funds for the reception. Mr.
Bryan wrote In part as follows:
There will be some expense and the com
mittee must see to It that no money is
accepted from questionable sou roes: In fact.
1 think it would re well to announce tnat
the expense would be borne by popular
nbsrrlption, 1 subscriptions being pref
erable, but that larger subscriptions
would be received up to $50. none being1
received over that. Also announce that
subscriptions of $& or more would be en
tered In a book and the names given to
sny one desiring them. Subscriptions of
ess than 6 would not be made known
without conaent of the subscriber.
Say that the reception will be made as
Inexpensive as possible and that any sur
plus over snd above the expense of the
reception will be used to print and cir
culate the speeches delivered at the re
ception. 1 thinK the publication of the subscrip
tions is an Important thing. The repub
licans nave raiiea to pass any enective law
In regard to campaign contributions and
this will be a good rebuke to them and
will foreshadow the adoption of such a
policy by our next campaign committee.
Xou can say. if you like, that I asked to
have this plan adopted.
The executive committee held its first
meeting today. Norman E. Mack of Buf
falo presided. ' Charles F. M. Murphy and
John Fox of New York and David R.
Francls of Missouri were elected mem

TTsed as Covering for Sho
shonl Restaarant.
SHOSHONT. Wyo.. July .(Special.)
The Inglorious end of Phlllplteau'a fsmnus
panoramic painting of the battle of Gettys
burg Is one of the sights for the many
visitors attending the registration for lands
In the Shoshone reserve. In almost the
last place In the world where one might
expect to see It, the Inst of this once great
work of art now stands cut Into strips and
sewed together with no attempt at uni
formity, and used as a restaurant tent.
Thousands in many of thfl larger cities
of the L'nitfd States have viewed this stu
pendous panorama that finally landed In
Omaha and was stored away In a ware
housea white elephant on the hands of
Its last owner. An Ingenious caterer anx
ious to make his pile rrom feeding the
hungry throng attending the reservation
opening here bought the once magnificent
and soul stirring drama on cloth and con
ceived the Idea of rrsaklng it into a tent.
On the outskirts of Shoshonl the battle
of Gettysburg panorama, now cut into a
hundred pieces and sewed Into a tent. Is
making Its last stand.
Fourteen men and eighteen women, mem
bers of a band of Hojy Rollers, arrived
here today from the east and took stages
for Lander. They Intend to locate in the
new town of Hodgson, near Lander. Rev.
Harry W. Ballard, pastor of the First
Church of the Multitude here, called a spe
cial prayer meeting when the arrival of
these people became known and preached a
stirring sermon against allowing them to
settle here. They came with the largest
number of homeseekers who. have yet arrived-
on a single train, and carefully con
cealed their Identity until they were nearly
ready to depart.
Emissaries of several other strange cults.
It is said, have been working in the region
secretly for weeks. Among them are prom
inent members of Jacob Bellhart's no
torious spirit fruit crowd, whose free love
doctrines created a furore in Chicago and
throughout the country some two years
ago.
Governor Brooks arrived this evening
from Douglas for a personal inspection of
the conditions here. After making a round
of the town he declared that despite the
trouble with the gamblers and holdup men
week ago, Shoshonl Is one of the best
governed cities in the state, and that the j
measures taken by the authorities follow
ing the Moody murder were evidence of
this. The governor wss Informed there
had not been one street fight since the open
ing of registration. He goes to Landon to
morrow. OMAHA WANTS SAENGERFEST

to Be In a Dangerous
Condition.
DUBUQUE, la.. July 26.-(Special.)-Sen-
ator Allison Is seriously ill at his home
here. He is suffering from Bright's dis
ease. His condition Is much more serious
than was announced in Washington or
given out here.
Relatives and close friends are endeavor
ing to keep the knowledge of his critical
condition from the public, but It wae
learned here today that he Is much weak
ened, that he has lost a great deal of weight
and that It Is feared he will never be able
to return to Washington.
It is considered extremely doubtful if the
senator undertakes the trip to Des Moines
for the purpose of attending the state con
vention August 1. Friends and physicians
advise against It, because they fear the
factional leaders st Des Moines will turn
to him to straighten out the tangled affairs
of the party and that he is too weak to
subject himself to the strain and worry
that would attend active participation In
politics at this time.

BT. PETERSBURG. July .-Th decision
on the question of a general strike Is still
hanging fire. No word haa been received
from the revolutionary leadera, who again
wero In secret session tonight. In addi
tion to other reasons, the conditions In
the famine district is advanced as a new
argument against a strike, ss the peasantry
would resent the tying up of the railroads,
upon which they are dependent for grain
to keep them from starvation. The minis
try of railroads received word today of
several attempts to destroy railroad
bridges snd It Is believed that the radicals
are resorting to this means to force the
issue.
The police are becoming more active in
breaking up the meetings In the capitals.
Today they Invaded a conference of St.
Petersburg aldermen, which was held in
a private house, and placed all of those In
attendance under arrest for flva hours while
the house wss searched and papers ex
amined. News has been received here that racial
troubles have broken out at Krasnoyarsk
between Russians and natives of Siberia.
One person was killed and six were
wounded In the first encounter.
Caar Fears Effect on National Credit.
The government Is using every means at
Its disposal to create the impression both at
home snd abroad thst the crisis has been
successfully passed and the probability of a
general upheaval has disappeared. The
seml-offlctal press Is filled with comforting
assurances that the government now has
a firm hold of the situation and that the
confusion and demoralisation in the coun
cils of the opposition political organizations
produced by the coup d'etat render united
action Impossible. Moreover, the official re
ports seek to crests the Impression that
there has been little response among the
masses to the plan for a general strike as
a preliminary to a universal uprising. The
application of the old methods, the govern
ment confidently asserts, has already
landed the most dangerous of ths leadera
behind the bars and much stress Is laid on
the Importance of the capture of a number
of revolutionary ring leader at Moscow,
which it turns out was the result of Infor
mation obtained at tha time of the capture
of the officers of the Mlsla here. Among
the papers then seised, the government
claims, were the complete plans of a revo
lutionary military organisation which ena
bled the authorities to close the revolu
tionary channels into the army.
For Effect Abrond.
The government's sudden access of opti
mism, however. Is in reality traceable to
the consternation over the disastrous fall
in Russian securities st home and abroad.
The one thing which the government can-
not do without Is money, and whatever the
response to the outlawed Parliament's ap
peal to the people to refuse to any longer
pay taxes, the whole future depends upon
the ability of the government to continue
its foreign loan operations. The second in
stallment of the big loan negotiated prlot
to the assembling of Parliament Is dua
August 1 and the outlook in Russia haa
frightened the holders into refusing to pay
In any further cash.
The situation has evidently caused quite
as much alarm among the financiers who
underwrote the loan abroad as It has at
the treasury here. Flnsnce Minister Ko
kovsoff has been bombarded by telegrams
from French, English and Germany bank
ers, urging on him the necessity of sup
porting the market. This accounts for
the activity of the government bankers
in bidding up prices on the Bourse here
and at Moscow yesterday, as well as for
the rosy view of the future sent abroad
by the Official Telegraph agency last night
under M. KokoVsoff's inspiration.
Eruption Is Imminent.
As a matter of fact the government can
hardly be blind . to the evidence under its
nose that it is living over a volcano and
that the dagger of an eruption la far
from ended. I For the last forty-eight
hours the central committees of the so
cial democrats, social revolutionists,
peasanta' league, railroad men's union and
telegraphers' union and the. military com
mittee have been conferring both sep
arately and Jointly with the parliamentary
groups, not only the question of calling a
general strike, but actually on the ques
tion of attempting a counter coup d'etat
by settling up a provisional government.
No final decision has yet been taken, but
practically all the proletariat organisa
tions. Including thai of tne railroad rnen.
but excepting the telegraphers, have al
ready pronounced in favor of this step.
The members of the group of toll and
social democrats of the outlawed Parlia
ment believe that another course is open
and irrevocably committed on the surface,
with the constitutional democrats, to dis
countenancing any active revolutionary
step, but secretly they have agreed to sup
port or Join In it If it can be successfully
inaugurated. Over 100 of them met last
night In Finland, under the presidency of
Prof. Miluoft. Conferences will be held
by representatives of other groups Oils
afternoon and the possible extent of the
support which a revolutionary movement
will receive from the army Is therefore
vital.
Soldiers Swear Allegiance to People,
At iielsiiigfot's, Finland, TueHday night
l,5u0 soldiers and sailors of the garrison
took an outh to fight on the side of the
people.
It is quite apparent to disinterested Ob
servers of Hie situation that the govern
ment on entering on Its present policy made
a pei hups fatal blunder in lacking that
hardihood tu arrest the member of the
outlawed Pailluiiit nt. In Its desire to "savs
its facu" It feared to go further than pro
hibiting the publication of the address of
Parliament to the country and preventing
the members from giving public accounts
of their stewardship to their luiintituenta.
But this decision only left the members ef
Parliament personally free to conduct
eonapliocy against the life of the fovwt.
