The board of railway commissioners made a decision to day in the case of alleged discrimination in freight rates brought by the city of Atchison againet the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway, the Missouri Pacific and the Central Branch railway. The wholesale merchants of Atchison represented that the rates from that city to Kansas points are excessive, and ask that the through rate from Kansas points to Chicago and eastern points be made the turn of the two locals east and west of Atchison. The board is of the opinion that the state has no authority to lay its hand upon part of an inter-state rate and that therefore the only remedy would be to auvance the local or state rate. The board thinks that the companies are not necessarily guilty of unjust discrimination in accepting a lees rate on through, or interstate, business than on local, or state, business. The question of unreasonable and ex-horbitant rates was discussed at length by the board.

The board shows, for instance, in the oase of the Central Branch, which is solely a local for the year ending June road lost $281,805. The board is of the opinion, therefore, that the local rates are not unreasonable or excessive. The prayer of the petition is not granted. THE WESTERN UNION SUIT. In the district court to-day the trial of a case entitled George West against the Western Union Telegraph company is in progress.

This is an action for damages for failure to deliver a message announcing the death and date of funeral of a relative. On September 14, 1885, George West, a man 77 years old, was visiting friends about five miles from Delphos, on the Union Pacific railway. A telegram was sent to him from a brother in Illinois, announcing the death of another brother, Samuel West, in Philadelphia. Ihe telegraph company was instructed to deposit the telegram in the Delphos postoffice, but this, it ia claimed, they failed to do. At all events the telegram was never delivered to West, and he brought suit for $10,000 for wounded feelings, in being ignorant of his brother's death and unable to attend his funeral.

At the first trial the telegraph company won, but the supreme court ordered a rehearing, and it is in progress to-day. A CASHIER'S TROUBLES. James F. Griffin, of the Topeka State Bank, Wins a Case in Court. In the district court late last evening, a jury decided in favor of the plaintiff, the case of James F.

Griffin against Forde Bros. The case had been on trial for several days, and was originally brought to gain possession of a lot in North Topeka. The history of the case is this: The Forde.

The News eays from a conversation with lawyers in the Cronin case, it is learned that they all feel that a good case has been presented to the jury so far. one without a material flaw, and one which bore strongly against all five of the accused. Judge Longenecker vol unteered the information that J. J3. Si-monds, Pat Goouey and the man who drove Dr.

Cronin to the Carlson cottage, should have been made co-defendants with Bourke and aleo two other men. The prosecution would not say what con nection with the case the two other men may have had. The Base llalllsts. New Yobk, Nov. 14.

The base ball men resumed their session at the Fifth Avenue hotel, at half past 11 o'clock today, to consider, among other things, contemplated changes in the constitution. The association managers went into ses sion at 10:30 o'clock. It was rumored about the hotel corridors that an attemnt would be made to concentrate on W. H. Zoltz, of Philadelphia, for chairman.

It was noon when the association meet ing took a recess until this afternoon. Three more ballots were taken on the presidential question without result.

14. Th news of the withdrawal of the Iow vVoman's Christian Temperance Union, under the eaderehip of Mrs. T. isuen Foster from the national convention did not create much of a sensation as it was not unexpected. The prohibition cause of the state is just now in a peculiar position.

The election of be hiffh license candidate for governor and the large trains made by the high license advocates in the legislature have created consternation in the camp which may lead to disintegration. The repub- ican party has borne the brunt of the fight for prohibition, and it has apparently been its great load. Now that partial defeat has come, it may be unwilling longer to champion the cause and the Worsens' Christian Tem perance Union and other temperance or ganizations may be thrown entirely upon their own efforts which would necessarily make them partisan. They have only been non-partisan in Iowa because it has not been necessary to be partisan. High license is likely to be enacted this winter and the sUoGns will again appear in the state with the sanction of law.

It remains to be seen whether the temperance forces will be able to hold themselves together with the republicans for two years and succeed in electing a legislature two years hence whioh will re-enact prohibition. Green and Wanamaker, New Yoke, November. 13. The following correspondence is made public to-day: New, Yobk, Novsmbbb 12, 1889. Hon.

John Wanamaker. Postmasteb Geneb -An, Washington, D. Deab Sib: I have your letter of October 50, enclosing your official order of the same date pur porting to fix the rates for government telegraph service for the fiscal year. The order has had all the careful and deliberate consideration that an official document from such a high source is entitled to receive, and after such consideration the executive committee of the board of directors has expressed itself unanimously in a preamble and resolu tion, a copy of which I enclose to yon herewith. From the rates fixed last year, which were not remunerative, at your present order makes an average reduction of a fraction over forty per cent.

On messages transmitted less than four hundred miles, which embrace the larger number of government messages, the reduction is fifty per cent, and on trans-continental messages th9 reduction is from fifty to twenty cents each on the minimum messages, or sixty per cent. On the service of the war department, cot oly known as the "weather reports, i he reduction is one-sixth, or something over sixteen per cent. The statement upon which you pre sume that no question can ariee as to the fairness of these reductions is that "the reduced rates hereby determined are practically the eame as those upon whioh one of the divisions or departments of your company, as well as one of its prin cipal transacted business for the public generally for a consider able time. The fact that the Mutual Union Telegraph company, a small organization be longing to this company, did for a time meet the Ohio telegraph company in sending messages short distances and between very tew points at ten cents is no evidence that no loss of money was involved. If these companies had made, as you propose, a rate of ten cents between all points less than four hundred miles distant from each other, the Baltimore Ohio Telegraph system would have been sold out by the Baltimore Ohio Railroad company as a bad investment long before it was sold, and that rate would have the earnings of the Western Union Telegraph company below its actual expenses in that important department of our business.

If the entire message business of this company for the fiscal year jnst closed had been SENT AT THE BATES NAKED. In your circular our total receipts from that source would have been about four millions of dollars less than the actual cost to na of transacting that business. If the messages sent by the government were equal in number for the several distances the rate named in your circular would average fifteen cents for the minimum message of ten body words, estimating ten words free for address and signature, but as very much the greater number would be sent distances under 400 miles and at the lowest established rate, it is probable that an average of fifteen cents would allow for two or three additional body words in each message. If the whole of 54.108,326 messages sent during the last fiscal year had paid us but an average of fifteen cents, the aggregate revenue for transmitting messages would have been $3.116,248. 9a Our total expenses were $14,565,152 61.

After deducting from the expenses the amount paid other lines the refunded and uncollected items, the rental and operating ccat of our Atlantic and Cuba cables, the cost of maintaining leased wires and the rental for and expenses of the gold and stock and commercial news departments, 1iuere axe buu ibii bs expenaiiures etricuy pertaining to the handling of messages, To a Connection With the South-era Pacific. A Through Lin9 to California in Contemplation. Republican Resubrmssionists in Conclave at Wichita. Rock Island and Southern Pacific. Chicago, Nov.

14. It is reported that a temporary deal haa already been made with the Southern Paoiflo by the Rock Island. The official report of the Rock Island that its Gulf extension would stop indefinitely at Fort Rano, ia incorrect. The extension is now more than 100 miles sonth of Fort Reuo, and lacks but 130 miles of a connection with the Southern Pacific. This distance of 130 miles is bsing covered as fast as a large force of men nan lay the rails and ties.

The fact that President Cable wished it understood that no further extension would be made beyond Fort Reno, is a corroborative circumstance showing some-thin? beyond the mere wish to get to the Gulf. Should the Rosk Island form an alliance with the Southern Pacific it will make a line to San Francisco longer by about 500 miles than the short line from Chicago. For passengers in a hurry the line would offer few in freight the line onuld compete on almost even termu. For southern California, Mexico and Texas points the line would in many caspB be the shortest route. General Manager St John, of the Rook Island, is now on way to the Indian Territory.

Nothing can be learned here ofthe object of his trip. It would certainly not be taken, however, on an ordinary matter. More especially, it would not be taken if "the Gulf extension should stop indefinitely at Fort Reno." Gone Astray After False Gods. Wichita, Nov. 14 A call for a met ting on Saturday night, to organize a resubmission republican club has been issued.

At a secret meeting of republicans, of which Geo. H. Black welder, vioe president of the board of trade, was chairman, and Col. Milton Stewart, one of the regents of the state University, was secretary, a committee was appointed to secure the signatures of a hundred of the most prominent republicans to the call. Several hundred names were attached.

The Opera House ha been secured and it is expected to have a rousing meeting on Saturday, when a permanent organization will be effected 1 and the first steps taken towards prevailing upon the governor to call a special session of the legislature." The young republicans, too, have organized a secret society with the eame object in view. They have, now a membership of 140, the requisite qualifications to admission being that the applicant shall not be over never have voted a democratic ticket and shall pledge himself to vote for no candidate who is not a resubmissioniat Whacking Away at Web Wilder. Boston, Nov. 14. The national fraternal congress is in session here.

The order of Protected Home Circles was admitted to membership, after which President John Haskell delivered his annual address. He said that the twenty-three fraternal societies embraced in the congress have a total membership of 900,000. The report on legislation, which was adopted, takes the ground that no legislation in regard to the insurance feature of their fraternal sooietiea is needed, but legislation is needed in some states for fraternal beneficial orders to protect from sooietiea not properly fraternal. A resolution was adopted condemning the language used in regard to fraternal beneficial societies by Insurance Commissioner Wilder of Kansas, sad urging Mr. WilderV removal from office.

Nobody supposed that 10 cents was a remunerative rate for so long a passage, but the move proved effective be cause it enabled the commodore to buy the competing line without paying a speculative price for it.

Such a course is sometimes entailed by circumstances upon this company. Competing com panies are often formed, not for business profits, but to force us to buy them out, or to retire from the field. When such competition occurs it is a transient and isolated feature of our message business. Tp seize upon such feature and as far as yttar office as an umpire may control, to make that abasia of a rate to be charged on government business seems to us not judicial but vindicative. It is this view you have taken that we especially regret The statute under which you are acting is judicial and not pe nal.

The award made annually by your predecessors has sometimes subjected na to injustice, but we could ascribe it to erroneous judgment, the giving of a rate designed to remunerate us for the service, but whioh in fact imposed a loss upon us We have borne the lose in such cases without complaint, even yielding to tHfe wieh of the departments to have the messages sent by them not confined to the definition ot the statute, but to in clude all their official business. Upon the present occasion a course is pursued which gives your high officials an attitude toward us which we consider so unjust and so well calculated to operate pre judicially to our general telegraph busi ness, that we feel compelled to enter our earnest protest agawct it. The further cor. se you suggest of a board of arbitration within what we have always proffered yon. We have stood ready always to supply to the incumbent of your office the fullest opportunity for search into the cost of telegraphic business and to accept freely his impartial judgment.

If you prefer to delegate that judgment composed as you suggest, rates for this year to be to a board leaving the governed by that result, we shall be glad to meet it. Respecting the personal interviews referred to in your letter, I regret that there was a misunderstanding as to any positive engagement to see you again after our last conference. When we separated you asked if you should see me again. I answered that I did not know of any cood that could come of further confer ence, but that if I found time in the fore noon of the next day, 1 would mate you a short The next morning I had some business at bur telegraph office, and on ramming to my hotel I learned that you had called and expressed regrets at mv beincr out.

THE EXECUTIVE Action of the executive committee November 6, 1889: Whebeas, On the 29th day of June, 1889, the postmaster general officially an nounced to telegraph companies that under the provisions of the act of July 24, 1886, they would be required to transmit the official business or the United States for a compensation of one mill for each word without regard to distance, a nrice which in no sense could be said to compensate the service: and Whereas, On October SO, 1889, the nostmaster general by public circular set forth as establishing under the pro visions of said aot rates which are materially below the necessary cost to this company and to others of transmit ting the messages of the united States, and Whereas, This company is obliged to consider the enforcement of said rates as a confiscation of its property to that extent, and is advised that obvious injustice under said act is remediable at law, therefore Resolved, That this company will transmit as heretofore with due priority and diligence all telegrams between the several departments of the government and their officers and their agents, but this company will not accept as final pay ments the rates above established, until its rights in that regard have received such further consideration as it may be able to secure; and the president of this company is hereby directed to file a copy of this, our protest, with the heads of the several executive departments oi the United States.

I Jl 4 23 ulqmis avenue. 1 If- hg neeAV fide subscribers at $2.75 each that was possible, and in addition, to get the names and addresses of all farmers who could not be persuaded to take the book.

A list of the subscribers and a list of these names were sent in to headquarters each Saturday. It is claimed that the combined list of names was then shown to unwary men to influence them to buy territory by showing an apparently enormous list of subscribers, which, in fact, were the names of men who had refused to take the book. James F. Griffin, cashier of the Topeka State bank, purchased the partial right for thirty-two counties in Missouri, for which he gave a lot in North Topeka, worth $1,500. He waa to give $1,000 for a one half interest in the territory and receive a note for $500 to cover the excess in value of the lot.

The other half interest was to be taken by a man named Clark, a former agent for the Fordes. Griffin, not desir ing to go into the field for'active service as a agent himself, engaged a man to work it for him, the man having been recommended by the Fordes. Clark worked the territory for about three weeks and came to Topeka with a great hat of names, but pretended to be sick. He procured a oheck for $50 from Mr. Griffin and departed and no one here has since heard of him.

Meanwhile Forde gave Griffin a worthless note for $500 on James A. Polley. Polloy had intro duced the men but apparently was not interested in the transaction.
