One Mile for Cents.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.--Tho general mana
gers Of tho Missouri river lines held an
all the forenoon session again to-day,
but reached no settlement of the present
passenger rate war. One chief obstacle
at present in the way of a settlement is
the demand of the Chicago d Alton COM
pany to reduce all passenger tariffs to a
basis of 2 cents mile. Another session
is to he held this afternoon.
AT the afternoon session the managers
considered various plans for the abolish
ment of the present 1000 mile tickets.
The plan most generally favored was to
sell commercial travellers 100 mile tickets
at full rate of . cents per mile; the
tickets to have q stub, and when ten OF
these have been collected to be returned
to the railway and rebate be paid to
the holders of | cent per mile. This
would prevent these tickets from falling
into the hands OF scalpers. Rock Island,
however, did not favor the plan, and the
meeting adjourned over until Monday
without definite action.

GIici, OIL the Trail.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 29.--Governor Click,
who is a short-horn cattle breeder, as
well as chiot executive Of Kansas, in an
interview with reporter of The Globe
Democrat, on the action Of to cattle
mems convention, recently held in this
city, stated that tie scheme for great
cattle trail from Rcd river To the north
ern boundary Of the country, as marked
out by the convention, is entirely i'm
practicable. He said, to be Of value, the
trail must be 100 miles wide instead OF
SIX miles, as asked for. Besides,
he alleged that they have no
right to trail through Kansas
or any other state. They now have
a trail through the western part of Kan
sas, but the law establishing it will be
repealed by the legislature this winter.
He also stated that Kansas lost S5OO.0OO
the past year from splenetic fever, but
hereafter there will be strict quaran
tine against Texas cattle, established
and regulated by law, instead of by q
simple proclamation. He discaimed
that there was any i'll feeling in Kansas
against II .xas, but asserted that self
preservation demanded that they should
protect themselves.
He opposed the leasing of public lands
to ranehmeD, and favored tho encOur-
agement Of small stock-growers rs being
III the best interest of the country. He
thought that the veterinary service of
the United States, as now organized, is
a humbug. and that it should be i'm
proved hv the employment of the best
veterinarians in the country, and eS-
pressed II belief that the disease in Kan
sas last spring, pronounced by DR.. Sal
mon to he ergotism, was veriCable FOOT

The Congo Conference.

BERLIN, Nov. 30.-The sitting Satur-
day of the Congo conference committee
lasted four and half hours. The com
mittee unanimously decided in favor OF
the freedom of trade within the limits
of tho newly-defined Congo
basin. The English, French and Bel
gian delegates were the principal speak
ers at the meeting. The English dele
gates upheld universal free trade, both
in exports and imports. The tBolsia
delegates favored that free trade be
restricted to imports. The French dele
gates urged that the plan adopted
should be limited to twenty wears, rs an
experiment. The report OF the commit
Tee is to be presented to the conference
on Monday. Its adoption is certain,
and probably without discussion. After
the adoption OF the report the Niger
question is to be Discussed.

Safe in the South.

The following is an extract from 6
letter written by Prot :. ~, Smothers
an Intelligent colored man Of this city
and it explains itself.
DEAR BR ,THER:-Tell mother thai
she need not give herself any uneasi'
ness concerning my safety here. There
is nothing in the political situation IN
Texas to cause alarm. Myself and fam
lily feel Just as safe in Dallas as do in In
diana. Nearly one-half the white peo-
pie o. this city are Republicans, among
whom are bankers, merchants, lawyers
and mechanics. But many of my best
friends are Democrats, who treat me
with all the Kindness aud respect could
wish for. The lieutenant governor Q ect
is Mr.. Gibbs. Democrat, and citizen
of Dallas. am personally
acquainted with him, and know him to
be fair-mindeJ, honest and just man,
and u sincere friend TO the cOlored PEG
pie. I and many other colored men
voted for him ut the last election. The
colored men generally voted tor Judge
A. b. Norton, II publican, for governor,
hut many of us voted tor Gibbs for lieu
tenant governor.
Though | am not personally &C
ouainted with Gov. Ireland, L take
pleasure in saying that he has made a
rood governor, and believe our rights
will still be safe in his hands.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The federal grand
Jury removed its Investigation as to the
alleged frauds in tho second precinct OF
The eighteenth ward of this city, this
morning, according to the face of the re-
turns, from which Brand, Democrat, ro-
ceved a plurality over Lenan, Repuh-
icun, for the state senate, of over 700
votes. The jury called before il, n large
number of voters, all OF whom declared
positively, that they voted the Republi-
can tickets, with the name OF Leman
printed upon them, implying that
The Republican tickets found in
the box had been paced there
after the closing OF the polls.
Nearly 800 persons have been sum
mOned, who claim 10 have voted the Re
publican ticket, while the ballots show
that Leman received less than 300 votes.
The Daily News Springfield special
says: The Brand-Leman matter was
reached by the state board of canvassers
this morning. The members of the
Cook county canvassing board arrived
early in the day and corrected the for
mai errors i'm the returns, and they were
then accepted by the state board, which
then proceeded to canvass the vote on
congressman in Cook county. When
| this was completed the attorney for Lee
man outlined the character of the alleged
frauds in the eighteenth ward, and
asked that the members OF the county
cauvassing board be directed to give
testimony as to the condition of the
tally sheets and poll books canvassed
by Them. The board decided to hear
| this testimony, subject to the legal
rights OF the board to consider this testi-
mony hereafter. The members of the
county board proceeded to describe
some of the appar ent changes on the
| poll-book. The members, when .ques-
toned, stated that the friends Of
| Leman offered to produce testi-
mony showing fraud, and that the
returns were forged, but they decided
that they had no right to hear tho testi-
mony, and we're compelled to accept the
| face of the returns as voted. The attor-
uey for Leman then asked the clerk OF
The state board to read the atfidayits
showing fraud in tho disputed pre-
cinct.
Mr.. Oberly, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, de-
| handed what right they had to hear tes-
timony, to which the attorney for Le-
man replied that the board had dis
tinctly reserved the right to pass upon
the legal bearing of the testimony, and
It's right to consider it rs canvassing
! board for future consideration.
Ai,idavits were then read. In an e.
| deavor to show fraud. One expert de-
clared that the name of Strausser. the
Republican judge, was not signed by
the same person on both the polls book
and the tally sheet. The aflidavits OF
2S3 persons were also read, who declared
that they voted for Lenan. The affidavit
the supervisors of election was also
read, showing that Leman received i2O
| votes.
| Chairman Oberly said he would
pre- sent the afli:avit of Stralsser, show
ing that he had signed both the poll
bUok and the tally sheet.

BERLIN, Nov. 30.--Herr Bebel's attac k
in the reichstag Friday on the military
administration of the government is
causing great stir in diplomatic Cir
cles. Bebel demanded reduction OF
the term of military service, and the sup
preston for year of volontariat. He
traced the cause of the budget deficit TO
the growing expenses for ornaments,
together with the fact that the country
is deprived of productive labor by men
being forced to serve in the army. He
asserted that fourteen times more sui
cides occurred in the army than among
the civil population. The Socialist
papers publish the official statistics 10
Show that this is true.
