30. For some time past there has been a newspaper controversy between A. C. Poole, editor 1 of their cars for which they are to pay $6 a month rental. It is in the nature of a rebate.

If all lines should do the same it would destroy the trade." Attorney Brown responded at length, affirming that there was no charge of violation of the law and only a fear that such might be done. He further denied the right of the railway association to make complaint on the ground that it is neither a real person nor an artificial person. "I acknowledge the contracts," he said, "but I reserve the right to withhold them. I am not satisfied to have our contracts made public for the mere satisfaction of curious minds. We have a valuable contract but we are willing to make the same with other persons under similar conditions." Chairman Walker replied in an argument to prove the legitimacy of the complaint and his association.

After recess Judge Cooley announced that the question would be taken under advisemeet as to whether the case in its present form should be considered -lay the commission. The decision on this point will be given to-morrow morning. The case of the Chicago, Kansas City Nebraska and the Rock Island against the Chicago Alton occupied the remainder of the day and will be continued to-morrow. The point at contest is in regard to live stock stop-over privi leges at Kansas City. Chairman Midge-ly, of the Southwestern Railroad assso-ciation.

was subjected to an hour's rigid questioning in the matter. He was ordered to bring the' association books before the commission to-morrow. Of Interest to Roads and Shippers. St. Locis, Sept.

30. In the United States district court at Hannibal to-day, Judge Thayer overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of the United States against G. K. Taser, agent of the Missouri Pacific Railroad company, for violation of the interstate commerce law in accepting freight at Hannibal which came from Chicago by a connecting line and sending it to Harper, for a lower rate than they would transport freight originating in Hannibal to the same point. The case will probably be appealed to the Unitod States circuit court which is the final tribunal.

The case is being watched with great interest by railroad companies and shippers of the country, as it is the first pros-cution of the kind under the interstate commerce law. Serious Accusations Washington, D. Sept. 30, The Post to-day published a strong editorial iu which it charges the civil service commissioners with persistently violating the law and asserts its ability to 'prove the charge before a congressional investigating committee. It charges that three-fourths of the clerks employed by the commission were not required to pass the examination and one of the clerks gave out or sold examination papers.

FLACK CONSPIRATORS INDICTED. New York, Sept 30. Indictments in the Flack conspiracy case were handed in at noon to-day, but the names of those indicted have not yet been made public. it is believed, however, that they are Sheriff Flack, his Willie Flack, Mrs. Raymond, Joseph Weeks and Ambrose MoneJl.

It is said that Judge Bookstaver was not indicted. KUNZE'S APPLICATION DENIED. Chicago, Sept. 30 Judge McConnell to-day passed upon Kunze motion to compel the state to furish him with the minutes of the grand jury which endict- ed him, and a synopsis of the circum stances on which the state rules for his implication in the conspiracy of the Cro- nin murder. In denying Kunze appli cation, Judge McConnell says: "The court has given the application ot defendent Kunze a patient and sym pathetic hearine.

In a certain line of cases it is permissible to grant what is asked for, but the court must not assume the role of legislation, and in the absence of precedents, no matter how dindly disposed he might feel, the judge must not create new laws. 1 he state does not require a preliminary examination as a precedent of an indictment, and there is ao provision made for the publication of the proceedings of the grand jurv. In fact, particular care has been taken to keep its minutes a secret." An Explosion at ichita. Wichita, Sept. 30.

A disastrous boiler explosion occurred this morning at the Wichita ice factory, demolishing much of the plant and badly wrecking the building. It was noticed that the heads of the boiler were cracking and the fires were shut off about 10 o'clock to allow of overhauling. A few minutes later the explosion occurred. The walls of the building parted and fell. The large boiler, weighing eight tons, shot across the Missouri Pacific tracks.

smashing the depot platform to splinters and buried itself four feet in the ground 150 feet away. A large number of men were about the building at the time and how thev escaped is incomprehensible. The fac tory will be rebuilt at once. "Dickens Had One Triclc." remarked the professor, in a discussion of favorite authors, "which always struck me as an oddity. I mean his habit of pinning some distinctive word or phrase on a character, which must be uttered on all occasions Now people in real life don't iterate like parrots.

At least, I know of only one person who is liable to such criticism young Bowden, my neighbor. The picture of health isn't he? Ruddy cheeks, sparkling eyes, ring voice.

Forward Their Credentials Fourteen States and Territories Represented Senator In grails the Prospective ChairmanThe Program Arranged for To-Day, Wednesday and The Deepwater Convention-Topeka, Sept. 30. Nearly all the delegations to the Interstate Deep-water convention, which meets in this city to-morrow afternoon, arrived today, and when the convention opens there will be more than 1,000 delegates here. About all the Texas representatives, nearly 200 in number, have arrived, that being the largest delegation. Already the credentials of 650 delegates, representing nine states and five territories, haye been presented to the secretary.

The convention will be one of the most important ever held in the VV est. Ex-Governor Evans of Colorado, who is president of the Deep Harbor general committee, arrived this morning. He says the convention will be composed of the best business, professional and political representatives of the vast region west of the Mississippi. Several governors, United States senators and members of congress will be in attendance. The i3 no longer any doubt that the convention will result in a big boom for a deep harbor on the Texas coast.

There are nearly 2 million" square miles that would be tributary to such a port.

A. Noyes, 149 Power's Bldck, Roch- The United States Commissioner of Railroads submits His Reports. NEW' LINES AND FEEDERS. Greatly In Excess of the Present Needs of the Carrying Trade A.

Complaint Against the Chicago Alton A Decision in a Suit Against the Missouri Pacific. Railroad. Commissioner's Report. Washington, Sept. 30.

The United States Commissioner ofrailroads to-day submitted his annual report to the president. "The exceedingly unfortunate litigation which has of late prevailed in the west and northwest presents a vivid illustration and gives aa expensive though an apparently unheeded lesson as to the effects of unregulated compe-tjon. Unless conditions are changed through the voluntary actions of the railroad companies or by legislative influence, commercial relations will be seriously disturbed and lasting injuries inflicted upon the railroads and upon every department of trade. I believe that in many states of the west, con spicuously in the states of Iowa and Kan sas, the mileage of railroads is greatly in excess of the legitimate needs of the carrying trade. If this pe true, then many of the investments in railroad properties there must fail to yield remunerative dividends or schedules of rates be fixed so high as to prove ruinously burden some to traffic.

For this unfortunate condition of affairs, neither the people nor the railroad companies are wholly to blame both have contributed to bring it about. The people have euoouraared railroad constraction wherever it could be secured regardless of existing necessities or future complications, and the railroad companies' have 'been unduly eager to control the trade by building new lines and feeders for established ones, where the volume of traffic was not sufficient to support them. This condition of things presents a problem difficult of solution. It is safe to say that the remedy does not lie in the levying of extortionate charges, or of waging of reckless rate wars. The security of the railway system lies in administering it with careful respect to justice and the public welfare.

If its oppressive hand is laid to heavily upon the people, revolt will be sure to follow. "If investors in railroad properties have expended their capital in the construction of lines not demanded by the present trade, then they must share the fate of all who invest in unproductive enter-prizes. Relief can only come through increased settlement, stimulating business and developing natural resources. "Both the interests of the railroads and the public suffer from the fact that railroad managers devote their energies too largely to the securing of trade from competing centers and do not sufficiently encourage development of local traffic. At least two of my predecessors in office have recommended the enactment of a law providing for the funding of the debts of the bonded roads.

These recommendations have been approved by the secretary of the interior and secretary of the treasury in their reports and by President Cleveland in a messageo congress. The questions involved are serious and important, and I am of the opinion that the time has arrived for some positive legislation. Should a funding bill be presented to congress at the forthcoming, or at any subsequent session, it should be carefully guarded so as to protect fully the interests of the government and impose no unreasonable obligations or undue hardships, upon the railroad companies. It is very clear to my judgment that there should be an extension of time and a reduction of the rate of interest. I am not thoroughly convinced that the end sought can be best attained by the passage of a funding bill providing for rearular fixed payments.

Successive crop failures, or years of business depression, might render the companies unable to meet their obligations. Such legislation should be enacted ts will best enable the companies to esentially discharge their indebtedness to the government. I have come to the conclusion that the most feasible plan to be adopted is to grant a reasonable extension of time with a reduced rate of interest and require the payment of a certain per Cfnt of the gross earnings of the roads to be applied to the liquidation of their indebtedness to the government." Complaints against the Alton- Chicago, Sept. 30. The inter-state commission met at the Palmer house this evening with Chairman Cooley presiding and commissioners Bragg, of Alabama, Morrison, of Illinois, and Sehoonmaker, of New York, and Vearly, of Vermont, present.

The room in which the hearings are being held was well filled with railway officers and lawyers. More than half of those preseni being attaches of the Chicag Alton railroad, the consideration of a complaint against which by the Inter-state railway association is the most important work to come before the commission. When the Alton case was called. Chairman Walker, of the Inter-state railway association, complainant, and Attorney Brown, of the Alton, arraigned themselves. For the hour and a half following, it was an oratorical eontcst between the two men.

Chairman Walker stated the case. lie aaid that the Chicago Alton road had been a member of the Railway association until July of this year. He explained the methods of stock shipping from KaDSas City to Chicago, which cities he termed the centers of the cattle trade. Through rates are made from shipping points in the west through Kansas City to Chicago with privilege of a stop-over in Kansas City. If cattle are not sold there, the unsold remainder are sent to Chicago on the original billing.

"At the present timp," he said, "the condition of trade has become such that much of stock is shipped in private cars on which mileage is collected. The result is that line cars are largely unused." He then explained that the Amrrican Livestock commission comoanv was an organization of cattle growers made for the purpose of shipping cattle.
