# @OOVAAA - A4SAV AXOt1SDs 1E W
TOPEKA, Kansas, Jan. 6.-The
representatives, Of the traffic depaIt-
ments Of all the Kansas Railroads
met here Yesterday, with members Of
the state board of railroad commits
si0ners, for = conference in regard to
freight rates on wheat. The traffic
managers presented q long answer to
the request for q reduction, by the
state commissioners during last sum-
mer, aud were conceded to be fair and
just to all parts of the state. Stats
tics were offered showing . prosper
GUS condition of the K .nsas wheat
growers, and the Improbable c0ndi-
ton Of the smaller railroads operat-
ing in this state. In the judgment
of the traffic managers the reduction
at this time of the season would not
be of any special advantage to Kan
sas farmers for the reason that the
market prics is controlled by
transportation charges, and it cost
less to ship, a smaller price would be
realized. It was further argued that
reduction in the freight rates would
ncce: state q corresponding reduction
In the operating expenses of the Kan
sas railroads and would greatly
weaken some of them. An informal
was then had as to the re.
distress among farmers and
grain growers and the, measures nee
essary to be taken to afford them re-
lief. The result of the conference is
an expression on the part Of the rail-
roads against tie proposition of q re-
ducti0n. Tbs committee have not
signifitd what further action they
take. !

The Busy Ta~e Of 1aau.try.

PgTTsBURa, Jan. 5.-A marked
change has come over the opinions oil
business men In Pittsburg within the
pact month. A few weeks ago they
looked only at the dark side of the
picture, aud could see little if any
hope for the future /; but now they
think they have seen the worst. and
from now onward 1885 will show
gradual Improvement, until tie vol
me of business Is restored to its full !
proportions. The indications now
are that the iron mills and furnaces
in this city will not be allowed to lie
idle much longer, rs orders are con-
ing In more freely, aud the stocks in
the mills are very low. The Amalga-
nation Association men have &C
cepted the reduction at the Home
stead Bessemer works, and it Is
thought there will lie q cut in wages
at all the steel mills in the country.
The Homestead works will resume
in all the departments to- nOrrow.
the firms resuming to-day
were the following: The Westing-
house Machine company. 500 men ;
Zugh & Co., 200 men : the Cambria
ron Works, at ~JohnsrOwn, 5000
men ; Long & Co., 800 men ; the Ma
Rolling Mill, MckeespOrt,
5000 men Oliver Bros. & Phillips,
500 men; the Schoenberger mill, 300
men.
The millers of Pennsylvania are in
here for the purpose of FORM
ing an association to regulate the
price of corn.
The l8-inch department OF Carne-
gie's Union Iron Mill started work
Work will probably be re-
in all the other departments

Of Clark & Go. will start up tO-mOr-

Business Failures.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6. - Henry
Crosby & Co.. lumber merchants,
have failed, liabilities $3.50, DOC. This
was always considered one of the
staunchest firms on the street. The
rumors of Its embarrassment were
hardly credited. Crosby says none
of the creditors will lose anything, as
the assets are fully 100000. The
cause OF the failure, Crosby says,
was the acceptance of drafts from the
keystone Lumber & Salt Mfg Co.
These drafts amounted to 1919, 600; as
the Keystone Co. could not supply
them with money they we're forced
to let the drafts 90 to protest. He
further says that the Keystone Co. is
good for the amount due.
WALL ST., N. Y. Jan 6.-Hulshizer
& Buckman are just posted at the
produce exchange as unable to meet
their obligations. They are said to
be short in wheat and oats.

CGUR D'ALENE.
Notes Gathered from ReliaH&e An.
thOrity.

Mr.. Eugene Morier. who has just
arrived from the C0eur d'Aene
country, informs US that but little
work, comparatively, is beng done
in that country at present. About
three feet of snow covers the ground
and has obstructed operations.
MI. NJ. has been operating there
since March last and will return In
the spring. He says but half .
dozen claims are being worked on
Prichard creek, and those at a great
disadvantage. Since the great stam-
pede, those who went to stay. have
prospected with good results. Trail
Gulch, heading about two miles from
Prichard creek and emptying into
Beaver creek has proved wonderfully
rich. Two side gulches, viz. Placer
aud Ptosi are being worked and good
wages being taken out, The Dutch
Jake and VanDorn Bars in Trail
Gulch are paying we'll, several rockers
being at work daily. The water is
furnished from snow, melted in five
gallon oil cans and a sufficient supply
gotten to wash out big wages.
The Myrtle claim which il owned
by Messrs. O'Connor, Mooney,
Jimmy Osburn and Buckingham is
situated at the mouth of Placer Guich,
and has proved q most valuable in
vestment. The first two days work
after purchase turned out dust enough
to pay back all the money advanced.
The lower claim has been worked by
II, IA and 20 men. At present + men
are engaged shaking a shaft to the led
rock Oh the upper claim. A large
wheel Is at work carrying
water from the bottom of the shaft to
the surface. The Myrtle Company
has been paying their men from
So. so to 81 per day, and two of the
hands have received IS per day.
rich nuggets have been found
and several thousand dollars worth
of dust taken from the two claims.
The country will be more generally
prospected next spring and summer.
Huzzy's bank has done a good BUSH
ness. Very many will return in the
and resume work. The entire
county will be overbauled and every
foot of it generally prospected. MI.

unjustly Rewarded.

On Sunday evening about 8 o'clock
a few Cinnamon rushed from the
frame building on the north side Of
Galena street, shouting "fire! fire!

MI. Carlos Wartield aud "Scotty"

terrific leap tor life accompanied by
her only garment and L'any

the opportunity to perform u brave
action and rescue the unknown prin-
cess from a horrible death. Alas! for
the rarity of human charity; a long
tailed Monaghan, without sympathy
or shoes, and minus hat and romance,
misconstrued the intention of the act
and pounced upon the daring hero,
who, imagining another out break of
good honest fire, drew another bottle
of extinguisher, pulled the plug and
gave the ugly protector (?) of female
innocence so shocking a benefit that
he was nearly drowned and most
completely extingui he'd himself,

First National Bank.

We publish to-day the report Of
the financial condition of the First
National bank of this city. The
figures show that an immense bust
ness has been done during the year
just closed, and the item of undivided
profits, which figures among the re-
sources of the hank, is evidence that
the character of the business has been
safe and judicious. This bank Is a
solid institution, controlled by re-
sponsible men, and is one Of the
bulwarks of this prosperous mining
city. The showing to which We call
attention is an index to the sounC
financial condition of the business
men of Butte.

General Burke states that 1000 men
were at work day and night n the
rain and mud during last month, at
the Exposition grounds. Our labor

been paid ; the balance will be paid
to-day. Beginning at the 1st of JAN
uary, all the receipts are first applied
to the operating expenses, which have
been reduced to low figures, and the
surplus applied to our back indebted
ness. The receipts are ample for cur
rent expenses, even during bad

revenue will he ten times the amount
of expenses. When asked if the Ex-

William Rauscher and boatwain Fer

Bow street police court, on the charge
of having murdered a Russian sea
man named Jansen, by cruel treat
ment, and for examination under the
extradition treaty with the United
States. A deadlock occurred because
the extradltion treaty docs not ex-
pressly name murder as one Of the
crimes for which a person may be ex-
tradited. After several hours' delay,
however, the prisoners were placed
In the dock. The American Consul
was present to watch proceedings for
his government. Formal evidence
was presented to prove the existence
of y warrant and transfer Of the
London under the extraditlOn act.
Lickford, solicitor for the prisoners,
objected to the proceedings as infor-
NAL. He pronounced the evidence
insufficient, and there was positively
nothing to prove the nationality Of
the ship. The prisoners were re-
handed to allow time for communi-
cation with the United States gov
eminent.
