KANSAS STATE NEWS.
The BelOIt Case.

| The State Board of Railroad Commits.
| sioners recently heard a re-argument in
what is known as the Beloit case, Governor
Brown, of st. Louis, representing the Mis-.
souri, Pacific Railroad and A. H. Ellis the
complainant. At the same time the com.
plant from the Mayor and Council OF
Cawker City was submitted to the Com
missioners. Some additional evidence was
submitted by Governor Brown on behalf
of the company. The chief object of the
argument was to postpone the going into
effect of the decision as to rates until the
9Th of November. 1t appears that meet.
ing and conference between the Commits
sioners and the managers of all lines
operating in Kansas has been arranged be.
tween the Board of Commissioners and the
railway company, on the 9th of November,
for the purpose of arranging plan for the
equalization of rates, and agreeing upon a
revised schedule of rates on all the lines in
the State. It is expected that at such con.
ference the Commissioners and the man.
ayers and freight agents can arrange and
agree upon schedules of rates and system
of classification that will embrace such sub.
stantial reductions in the present rates on
all the lines operating in the State as will
be fair to the railroads and just to the peo.
pie, and that by this method the people
will reap the immediate benefits of such
equalization and revision without having to
wait the slow and tedious process of law.
The Missouri Pacific Company asked
to have the Beloit decision suspended
until the meeting, and system, uniform
all over the whole State, arranged. After
hearing the arguments the Board adopted
the following: In the matter of reopen.
ing the Beloit decision, the Board, after
hearing the arguments by consel on both
sides, desire two, or possibly three, days
for the purpose of examining the statistics
presented, and will advise the parties III
interest within that time of their final con.
clusion. In the meantime the decision
heretofore rendered in the case will be sus.
pended; and, further, that the investiga.
tion of the General Managers of the roads
to meet the Commissioners on November
5, next, to agree upon equitable freight
rates upon all roads in the State is accepted.

BOSTON, MASS, Oct 10.
Some startling testimony was unexpect

is unimpeachable. After he had given
some unimportant testimony he was asked

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

THE Railroad Commissioners of Kansas
recently heard arguments of counsel of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad for a re-opening
of the Beloit case, with the view of modi-
fication or reversal of their late decision,
by which the rates charged over the rail-
road for transportation of freight to and
from Beloit was found to be too high. After
a careful review of the earnings of the road
for the past three years, which by compari
son showed a largely increased and in
creasing traffic, the Commissioners decided
that at present the Board was unable to
perceive sufficient reason to recede from
their late decision, but that if in the future
it should appear to the satisfaction of the
Board that the rates fixed in that decision
proved to be insufficient remuneration for
the service performed, or should require
modification, the Board will feel at liberty
to make such adjustments of them as will
be fair and just to all concerned. 1t was
| further ordered that the posting of rates be
postponed until the meeting of the Commits.
sioners and Railroad officers on the 9th of
November, heretofore agreed upon.
THE Commissioner of Pensions, in his re.
port, takes up the question of the practices
of claim agents with pensioners, and says:
1.-THE evils of which complaint has been
made have greatly increased, and the
present situation calls for immediate
action by Congress" He also said the
business has attracted to it many ignorant
and unscrupulous persons, whose only oh.
ject seems to be toprocure applications from
pensioners, and then assiduously dun the
claimants until the $40 fee is secured, and
thereafter practically abandon the case like

Probable Clew to the Mysterious Murder
of Zura Burns at Lincoln, Illinois.
CHICAGO, Oct, 10.
A Daily NeirS staff correspondent tele-
graphs from Rochester, Ind, full inter-
view with Tom Dukes, who was engaged to
marry Zura Burns, murdered at Lincoln.
Dukes was found in hiding. He had his
hand done up in a rag, and told different
stories about how he had hurt it. He said
he could not be hired to go over to Lincoln.
He would not tell where he was from Fri
day until Tuesday, although he acknowl-
edged that he was away from home. He
gave up two letters from Zura Burns. In
one she says that he must meet her at Lin.
coin by October Is, and accuses him of try.
ing to go back on her. Dukes said he knew
Zura was enciente, but said he had never
sustained improper relations with her.
Miss Frear, the young woman Dukes is en-
gagged to in keewaunee, Ind, said Tom told
her that he was in trouble out in Illinois.
but would not tell her what it was. The
people Of Fulton County, Indiana, became
aroused to-day, and the Sheriff started to
arrest Tom Dukes but he was not to be
found. 1t is a good country for conceal.
ment, and it is doubtful if the arrest is eff
fected without great DELAY.

rRENCH ExCEssEs IN ToNQUIN.

The Story Of the Wholesale Slaughter OF
the Anamites by the French at the TAX.
ing of Hue-The Wounded Mercilessly
Butchered while Pleading for Their
Lives.
LONDON, Oct. 10.
Pierre Lote, an officer of the French ex-
peditionary force in Tonquin, sends to the
Paris Figaro the following description OF
the fall of Hue: The beaten Anamites
were cooped up in the burning village.
The only roads to escape from the flames
lay under the guns of the fort, which was
filled with sailors armed with Krapotchak O.
peating rifles, with sights carefully adjust
ed to the distance. The magazines of the
rifles were duly loaded. The men looked on,
waiting until flank movement Of the 9TH
or troops and the firing of the bamboo huts
should drive the human quarry out before
them. We saw them halting at the end of
the village, with singed hair and garments; {;
then, after few moments hesitation, tuck
up their flowing robes as high as they
could and trying to protect their heads
with planks against the impending shower
of bullets, they rushed on. A great butch
cry then commenced. Two volleys were
fired. 1t was quite a treat (e'etait un
plaisir) TO see these fan-like streams of
bullets sweeping down on the fugitives.
They were poured in twice i'll one minute at
the word of command in q sure, methodical
manner. 1t was like jet from huge
watering-pot, which moved them down by
dozens. In a cloud of dust and gravel we
could see some who seemed to be driven
mad, picking themselves up, limping now
one way, now another like wounded ami
mails. Gathering up their robes in a comi-
fhair- hair fa -fa naH
and streaming down their backs, made them
look like women. Others tried to escape by
swimming lagoon, trying to
reach the junks. These were killed
in the water. Some good divers
remained long time under water. Our
men continued to kill them all the same
when they came up to breathe. like seals.
With those killed i'll the Southern forts,
about 800 or 900 must have been disposed
of. The sailors made bets as to the mum.
bers destroyed. About nine in the morn
ing all was over and the rout of the Anam-
ties was complete. The heat was intense,
and the sailors, maddened by the sun and
the noise, and quivering with excitement,
rushed out of the fort after the wounded.
Some were crouching in holes, Others feigned
death, while others, at the last gasp, were
stretching out their hands, pleading for
mercy and shouting "Han! Ham" in heart
rending accents. Our men slaughtered
them with bayOnets or Drained them with
the butt-ends of their muskets. These sailors
were absolutely madmen. The officers at
tempted to restrainthem, and said to them,
"YOu ought to be ashamed of such coward
ly, dirty work. ."They replied: 1.-THE Ana
mites are savages. They carried the head of
Capt. Riveiere on the top of pole, and if
they carried the day they would cut the
French to pieces or saw them within two
planks." There was no reply possible to
this. 1t was true.
