The rAns-ContinentaI Ira Isl orta
lion AssOciation.

CHICAGO, December 16.-The Times will
say tomorrow that at a meeting of the west.
ern and northwestern roads to-day to consider
the complaints of shippers, especially those of
Iowa, that rates for transportation remain too
high, in view of the low prices for grain, it
was almost unanimously declared not to lower
the rates. The argument was made that dur.
ing the period when the prices of grain were
unusually high the freight rates were not ad.
vanoed; that the market value of products
has nothing to do with the rates
for other c~onveyances to market.
Two local Iowa roads were the
only ones ta%voring a reduction.
The Committee spent the entire afternoon
in discussieg n plan of organization for the as
ISOLATION for the next year, aud reported abont
six o'clock without adopting it. The meeting
adjourned until tomorrow. The plan out
lined by the committee is for a renewal of the
old pool with some minor changes. Ga one
question the committee, which was made W
of the representatives of the Central, Union
and Northern Pacific and Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe conld not agree,
and it was referred back to
meeting. Under the present pool tho North
ern Pacific is allowed six per cent of the San
Francisco business as a bonus for it to refrain
from competition in that traffic, The Oregon
Short Line has been completed to Portland
since the existing agreement was signed,
and the Union Pacific now ask. this line also
to DO allowed six per eenton the same grounds,
This question is looked on as a troublesome
one. The committee recommended that the
award of percentages be not put in the hands
of an arbitrator but that lines in the interest

CuriOsities ot the Law.
Boston Journal.

The msjesty OF the law Is great
AMI awful thing, but II Is sometimes
maintained at the expense OF perpiex-
ing, illogical methods. A case In point
Is afforded by the application OF the
extraordinary law to be found in the
public statutes, chapter POS, section Is,
which reads as follows
ar the taller or other officer volun-
tarily suffers a prisoner in his custody,
upon conviction or upon criminal
charge, to escape he shall suffer the
like Punishment and penalties AS the
prisoner suffered to escape was SEN
fenced TO or would be liable to suffer
upon conviction OF the crime where
with hestood charged"
Under this statute Is called the ease
OF the Government against J ohm smith.
Government states that Officer John
smith voluntarily suffered Wm.Jones,
a prisoner In his custody upon the
charge OF murder In the first degree "a
escape and move that sentence Of death
be passed upon John Smith. smith
admits voluntarily suffering Jones to
escape, but says he has been recaptured
and may be innocent and that 1t is not
fair TO hang him first and try him
afterwsrd; but the court says that
nevertheless that was doubtless the
intent OF the law, and sentences John
smith TO be hanged by the neck TIL he
Is dead and then tries VIM. Jones,
and the Jury acquits him. II ID true
that the prisoner should be punished
In u suitable manner, but 1t seems AL
absurd relic of barbarism to leave
the law as II stands.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 31.-Duripg the
last two or three days the Democrats
here have been trying earnestly to ex cite
the popular mind 80 as to produce a
conflict Of authority. They have sue
coeded in creating intense excitement
and bitterness, ,iand the situation nov
looks sQually for election day.
The Independent Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the First District
made thorough canvass, and claimed
to have found Z, 900 fraudulent registra-
tions on the books, many of them being
Of persons dead for years. All attempts
to have these names erased failed. and
the Republicans app-ald % United
States Circuit Judge Pa1dee.
Over this suit the Democrats have
grown very excited, and to day their
State Central Commute issued a very
violent address, declaring that the
Federal Courts proposed to disfranchise
citizens and the Federal marshal to ar
rest them, and calling on the Demo-
Gratis to prevent this outrage.
The address evidently means that
the Democrats propose to vote these
z, 600 men, 30 that If Judge Pardee
strikes their names from the registra-
tion books, there is very likely to be q
conflict Of authority between the State
and Federal officers on election day.
The Democratic papers have been
filled for days with very exciting and
sen ational items of the shipments of
arms and negroes here. To these ship
ments the chairmen of the Democratic
s ate Central Committees of Tennessee
and Alabama bore testimony. To day
the first cargo of these imported negroes
arrived. They prove to be the walters
for the new St. Louis Hotel, which
opens here on the lat of November.
