and Resolve In Favor of the Free Coinas,
of Silver.
New YORK, December 1.-THE mair
parlor of the Metropolitan Hotel was occu
pied by gentlemen last night who assem-
bled to hear the silver question discussed
Probably sixty or seventy-fve persons wert
present. The meeting was under the au
spices of the Autobiography League. The
Hon. Edward Pierrepont presided. Ha
gave an extensive review of the silver ques.
ton in this country and Europe. He said
among other things that silver did not fluc-
tuate any more than gold. In the
period extending from 1888 to 1873 there
was but little. fuctuation in the London
prices Of silver. In 1888 the prizes
was fifty odd pence per ounce and forty
years after that the price was exactly the
same. There is no nation now coming sil.
YER, but all nations are coming gold. II m
were to stop gold coinage, the result would
be fall in the value of gold and finctua-
ton in the prices. Resolutions demanding
the free coinage of silver and in favor Of
an equal bi-metaIlic currency were adopted.
After several addresses had been made the
meeting adjourned.

KANSAS STATE NEWS.
A Railroad Decision.


The Board of Railroad Commissioners 70
Gently received a letter from John H. Nc
Leod, of Marysville, making complaint Of
the high rates Of freight in Northern Kan
sas, compared with other parts of the State;
that the freight on corn from Marysyille to
st. Joe, a distance of 113 miles, is - cents
per bushel; and desired the board to look
into the matter and afford relief to shippers
in that part of the State To this commu-
nication the board replied: ''Tha Board
of Railroad Commissioners have consid-
cred the matter stated in your letter,
namely, the rate on corn over the
st. Joseph & Western Railroad from
Marysville to st. Joe. The rate is the
same as the rate on the Central Branch
for the same distance, and only one and
one-half cents higher than the rate on the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and Union
Pacific. The St Joe & Western is several
millions of dollars behind hand in its inter-
est payments, and is in bad shape 6nan-
cially. It can not afford better rates under
existing conditions. Besides, the beard
has no power to fix rates on grain from
Marysville to st. Joe. The powers Of the
board do not extend beyond the State of
Kansas. The power of the board to fix
rates is limited to rates on shipments made
wholly within the limits of Kansas"
