THE WEATHER Heavy snow and light rains
attended the movement OF the depression dur
ing yesterday from the Ohio Valley north
eastward to the coast. AS in the previously re-
c~ided storm, the influence OF the Allcghany
Mountains on the easterly indraught winds has
developed subsidiary centre which passed
along tho coast districts and oceanward off tie
lower New England coast. The Western
centre, or that in the Ohio Valley, has
also moved into New England and
of the coast. But the area of low pressure en-
closing these centres or vorticcs still extends
over large, number of districts east of the
Mississippi and northward of Tennessee. The
barometer is rising in the Southwest and South,
and is relatively high but falling in the North
west, where another depression is advancing
from Montana und the western British terri
tory. The winds follow the margins Of these
dcpressions aud are very high over the
western lake region and in New Brunswick.
Elsewhere they are brisk to moderate
The extent Of the area Of snowfall attending the
storm just passed makes 1t one of the most re-
markable recorded for some years. The tenn
peraturc has fallen west Of the Allegheny Noun
tains and In the Northeast, but has risen again
in the Northwest. The weather in New York
and it's vicinity to-day will bc colder, with tenn
p9yArH cySfriny preceded by light rain or snow
and rising winds. Tomorrow it will be cold
and partly cloudy or cloudy, with brisk winds,
followed by clearing weather.

Russia's Obligations mt Consta nti-
manila.

Russia at Constantine will, it is said,
'sregulate her attitude by that OF England,
and she already deems that her ''liberty of
action" is restored by the sending of the
British fleet to the Bosphorus. Our opin-
ion on this as possible variation in the at
titude Of the Powers at Constantinople was
given on Saturday; but the above statement,
telegraphed from st. Petersburg, advances
the possibility to the position OF an immi-
nent fact. Russia's ''liberty of action" with
regard to Constantinople was, it will be re-
membered, restrained by her pledges given
to England, and if Russia regards that lib
erty as restored" it is of course because
she regards the course now taken by Eng
land as relieving her from the OBJ
legation of the pledges made to that
government. AS men who pledge themselves
under the forfeiture of bail bond for the
appearance Of an accused person in court
are relieved from their responsibility when
the culprit is placed under arrest, or when
by any means whatever he comes into the
actual custody Of the officers Of the law, SO
Russia is relieved from her pledges to re-
spect the interests of England at Constanti-
nople when England sends her own feet
and her own officers to that point to care for
those interests on her own account. SO
long as Russia's pledge was depended upon
by England, and England had no other
guarantee, Russia was bound @n honor by
that pledge, and she certainly has not ~
lated it. But when England ceases to de-
pend upon that pledge, and when she takes
steps to guarantee her own interest by send
ing forward her men-of-war, then Russia is
discharged from her obligation and her
honor is no longer concerned for the safety
and welfare of English interests. This
seems simple enough, but no doubt the ini-
tiation by Russia of any course of proceed
ings which implies that she regards the
obligations referred to as no longer binding
will be greeted in England by a howl of
virulent abuse at so-called Russian treach-
cry. But that bowling does not affect
Russia, however, and the British view of
events is not SO potent in the formation
of the opinion Of the world at large as
it once was. 1t may be depended
upon, therefore, that if in the attitude
or conduct of the British fleet in Turkish
waters there is the slightest departure from
strict neutrality; if foot or q finger is
lifted to take practical guarantees for any
so-called British interest in that part of the
world, Russia will occupy Stamboul. With
out such action on the part of England it
would be mistake for Russia to go further
than she has already gone Her case is
sufficiently sure as she stands. With the
lines dismantled and her army in front of
them Constantinople is miitarily as much
in her possession as it would be if she had
regiment of cavalry stabbed in the Mosque
of Saint Sophia. She need go no further for
her safety, therefore; but a step further
would supply n pretext against her that she
10 wise enough to withhold.

4 REDUCTION OF FREIGHT RATES.
Ninety Thousand Dollars Worth Of New Cars
Contracted For.

1t affords us pleasure to be able to announce
to our readers that General Man ager Strong
has ordered REIMBURSEMENT OF the tariff rates,
whereby the freight on wheat, among other
things, will be reduced. For several weeks
we have been in communication with the
magnates OF our road, asking that something
be done to relieve its patrons and the great
farming interests along its line. A letter from
the Presiden; informs Us that ninety thousand
doIiars' worth OF new box ears are being
built. We have not al this writing seen the
rev schedule. but we have no doubt this con-
cession on the part OF General Manager
Strong means many thousands OF dollars to
our people on the present grain crop, and we
arc glad that the management OF this great
thoroughfare has passed into the hands of so
wise and liberal man. in our interview OF
two weeks ago both Manager Strong and Pres
ident Nickerson declared that they would do
all in their power as the agents OF great cor.
poration not only to do justice by the patrons
of the road, but TO ace ommodste the trade
fully.
Assistant Superintendent Pet.ibonc was in
/ the city on Monday and made Us 4 call. To
him also We made known ctr grievances. He
seemed exceedingly annoyed over the fact
that q shortage OF cars compelled any of our
farmers TO haul their wheat back home, and
that SO many thousand bushels stood in the
wagons unsoid last Thursday and Friday
nights. As quick as the facts were learned the
entire supply of ears for the main line we re
turned in this direction to relieve the eleva-
tors. superintendent Pettioone is Rot only a
thorough going business man, hut a genial
gentleman, and he will do all that lies in his
power to bring about harmony and good will
among shippers. producers and the railroad
company.
Our reporter last week alluded 40 CON-
plant OF discrimination being made by the
raih cad in favor of one elevator against
certain other elevators. Mr.. Warmer, the
sgent, called upon US with schedule showing
the number of cars that hai been assigned TO
each ele,:,or each day. His cndcavcr he
said had been TO furnish each elevator with
cars according to their capacity for handling
wheat, and we believe the figures viii show
that TO great injustice had been done TO any
OF them, Mr.. Warmer says that 30 far AS
possible ho shall rotate in supplying ears dai "
TO each elevator OF course the rivalry and
competition existing among SO many e'eva'
tors will naturally place the agent between
several pretty sharp fires, but We only reflect
the opinion OF large majority of business
men OF tins city when we say that no better,
no more accurate, no more reliable and ae
commodslipg agent than Charlie W arriaer can
DC found on the line OF the A., I. 81 ST R.R.

WICHITA DOES THE GENEROUS THING
Five Hundred Dollsrs Donated for the Relief Of
Yellow Fever Sufferers.

The sad tale OF sorrow, suffering and dcsti-
tuition consequent upon the presence OF that
fell destroyer, yellow fever, in our Southern
cities, struck a chord that met with a hearty
response from the people OF Wichita. To
Capt. W. s. White, editor OF the Beacon. more
than to any one else, belongs the praise for
the prompt and generous action of our peo-
pie. On Saturday evening he called upon
the Mayor and several business men urging
that some step be taken by Wichita towards
contributing to the relief of that truly untor.
tunate people Securing the names OF several
leading men a circular was issued calling for
a meeting at Eagle Hall, winch meeting when
convened was presided over by the Mayor.
Although but few were present the city was
pledged tor $500, which fact Capt. White tele
graphed to Memphis, authorizing the Mayor
OF that city TO draw on the Mayor of Wichita
1t was further concluded 10 hold a meeting
the next Sunday evening. The meeting on
sunday evening was held in the Methodist
tent in which place about one thousand pe0-
pile OF the city were gathered. W. g. Wood
man was made Chairman, and Kos Harris,
| Esq. y. Alter SUING HHc iuuslC
prayer short addresses were made by scye
raj gentlemen present. The result was that
right upon the spot over tour hundred dollars
was raised. As many well known citizens
were not present committees were appointed
TO look after the different wards the next day
when something like an hundred dollars was
received additional.
A full list of names and donations has bean
furnished by Captain White, but our space is
toe limited to give them.
The object is most worthy the charity most
timely, and each donator will feel happiness
enough in the consciousness OF having done q
duty. Times are hard tits true, but We have
health, and we should no. forget those too
poor 10 get away from the infected districts,
and those brayely standing by the sick and
suffering. The mites and dollars given by
our good and generous people may cause a
smile Of joy and relief inayhap where there Is
nothing but sadness and horror,

IA Iron Foundry and Machine Shop.

Mr.. John Oils, an experienced iron-iounder
from Bloomington, Illinois, arrived in Wichi-
IA last Saturday. lie comes to our city T. de-
termne il there is any demand here tor an
extensive foundry and machine shop. He
has been actively engaged in that line for ma
ny years, and he desires to locate at some
point to which large agricultural region is
tributary. Such point he will find w ichita
to he. He cyns now upwards of $1,000
worth OF patterns fer all kinds OF machinery,
Including several good sized engines and all
their parts, the various patterns OF parts of all
lately invented agricultural machinery. etc.
Also al the tools necessary TO the building
various kind of steam boilers. In short
conversation with Mr.. Oils We gathered that
he was very well pleased with the outlook
Wichita olcrs such all enterprise. As to our
own judgment we think there is no other
opening 50 favorable to be found in iais State
and We hope he may locate.

Lewis s. Heath have ready for operation a
Der in our city to nine.
Last Thursday night We took an estimate of
the amount OF wheat in the several elevators,
which had accumulated owing to a lack Of
cars for shipment, and found them 20 contain
in the aggregate about one hundred and five
thousand bushels. In addition 1t was caIcu-
lated there were fully twelve thousand bush
els in wagons on the streets.
The railroad authorities have endeavored
TO arrange the distribution among the elcva-
tors justly and equitaby. viz: a!lot to each
one ears according TO their capacity, and
after the allotment the elevators that loaded
first were entitled to the remaining ears IS
fast as they could load them.
Another engine has been added 10 the yard,
so that cars can now be. handled more rapidly.
A much better state oil things exist among
buyers, and they are all much happier:
SHORTAGE.
The wheat market for several days last week
was at almost a dead lock on account Of cars.
The wrath Of the buyer and seller, the mer.
chant, the proprietors OF the various asher
les, etc., knew no bounds. Twas awful to
contemplate. In fact every industry in the
city. almost, was knocked out of time, aud the
comments and criticisms offered, touching the
A I. & S. F., were numerous and varied, to
say the least some OF them out of all reason.
But relief finally came Friday night, and Sat-
urday morning au hundred or more cars came
in, and "A sufficient number each day since to
supply the demand, with a promise that in
thc future the supply shall equal the demand.
