RAILWAY MATTERS.
Cutting Live Stock Rates

The war on live stock rates from Kan
sas City to Chicago is getting very Sc
we're. The Milwaukee IL st. Paul, it is
stated by the Chicago Tribune, is now
securing much of the traffic by guaran-
teeing shippers to make the same time
as is made by the direct routes, and if
the cattle do not reach their destination
within the stipulated time, the shipper
is allowed a claim for damages. The
road, it is claimed, is unable to make
the same time that is made by the old
direct routes, and consequently damages
are paid to all shippers. This scheme is
looked upon by other roads as an eva
sion of the law prohibiting the payment
of rebates, the payment of damages
being virtually the same as the payment
of rebates. 1t is further alleged that the
st. Paul guarantees the shipper to charge
the market rates prevailing at the time
the shipment arrives at destination. By
this arrangement shippers will get the
benefit of any reductions in rates that
may be made during the time the con-
signment is in transit. The Wabash, it
is claimed, has similar arrangement
by which it allows shippers to bring in
old claims, which are settled without
investigation. Receiver McNutta, how
ever, denies this, and says he could not
do so because all claims have to be eX-
amined by the company and eOESe-
quently the payment of fraudulent
claims would be discovered.

THE LAW ALLOWED 1T.
The Anderson Telegraph Bill Calls
Forth Some Remarks.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-The law al
lowed the Pacific railroad companies to
make contracts with the telegraph COM
panies, and of course they did it. That's
all / know about it," This was the an
Swer of c. p. Huntington yesterday
morning when the Anderson bill was
brought to his attention. The bill is to
the effect that the government gave GER
tain bonds and lands for the building of
railroad and telegraph lines; that it was
not intended that the latter enterprise
should be given away to mon0pOliStic
company as soon as built by government
money, but maintained as an independ-
ent line. The bill calls upon the COM
panieS to comply with their charters
and operate the telegraph system for
the benefit of the people. Dr.. Norvin
Green, president of the Western Union
Telegraph company, said: The bill
affects us very little, because we have
our own wires there. Under the orig
inal charter and the original railroad
act there was a provision that the Cen
trial and Union Pacific railroads (the
telegraph was built before the railroads,
you know might arrange with the
Overland Telegraph company and the
California State Telegraph company to
establish their lines on the line of the
railroad, and that such arrangement
should be in substitution of the under
taking by the railroads to build teIe-
graph lines, but if no such arrange
mentS were made the telegraph COM
panies should have the right to estab-
llsh lines on the railroad on their own
account. We failed to come to an
agreement with the railroad companies
and we did, under the reserve right,
build and establish our lines along the
railroads. Not on their right of way,
but on the right of way reserved for it
under the act which creates them. We
were perfectly independent of them.
Mr.. AnderSon'S bill undertakes to pass
upon the judicial question whether the
railroads had the right to make con-
tract with the telegraph companies.
The courts have already decided that
they had such right. The question is a
matter of much more Importance to the
railroad companies than to us. We have
our lines there, and the only damage it
would do us would be to put US to the
expense of few more offices Oh the
line of route. But as we should get all
the receipts instead of giving the rail-
roads one-half, as we do now, our in
creased expense would be more than
met by the increased revenue

MARINE LAW.
1T May Be All Right, But 1t Seems
Rather Queer Justice.


ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-The Republican,
in series of interviews with the cap
tains of the Missouri Pacific ferry boats,
charges these men with deliberately
forming the ice gorge which threatened
a million dollars worth of property,
and destroyed from 100000 to 100000
worth. Charles Cellar, captain of the
Missouri, is reported as saying:
Yes, we choked her up. There was
channel about fifty yards wide and l
went up with the Missouri and Capt.
Joe Cellar took the Pacific up. and we
laid broadSide OF the channel. That
stopped the fine ice, and as it was cold
night, it soon closed the opening. We
did it simply to protect ourselves. If
the boats up above us will not come
down and help keep this throat clear,
we will have to stop it up and let
them take their chances"
The statements of the other river men
in the vicinity confirmed those made by
Capt. Cellar, and while it is frankly adj
mitted that the river was deliberately
gOrged, it was for self-protection.
1.-The case is simply this" said one:
eff can work my way up through the
ice and make $4,000 by but smash up
another boat by starting the ice down
on it, have right to do it. That is

laugh has resulted from his misfortune.
DR.. Belden stands very high in the
medical profession, and has always
borne an unblemished reputation. He
was the family physician of John Roach,
the famous Shipbuilder, and spent night
and day at his bedside when he lay
Frustrated by cancer. The doctor is the
most innocent-looking man that can be
imagined. and has always been consid-
cred by his acquaintance in the light
of an American Pickwick. He is short
and stout, with red cheeks, and COM
pleXion denoting Indulgence in the good
things of this life. Greyish side
whiskerS, cut in English style, wander
ing blue eyes that seem to gaze ut one
with child'S cOntiding belief, and a
bald pate are his most prominent phys
ical characteristics. His age lies be-
tween fifty and sixty years, and during
all this time not whisper has ever
been heard against him until now. 1t
was his contiding belief in the goodness
of human nature, friend said to the
writer, that induced him to appear as
the legatee of Sally Peek. Had
he known of the storm that
his action has brought down
upon him he would rather have thrown
the $50, 900 into the sea, and never have
mentioned it again. In fact, were it not
that withdrawal is equivalent to an adj
mission of the charges, he would long
since have abandoned the legacy to his
fierce opponents. Like his English pro-
totype, he has knack for getting into
muddleS, but he has not the same reso-
lutte pertenacity in getting out of them
again. He has aged considerably in ap-
pearance since he became involved in
the present predicament, and his old
frank, fearless gaze has changed into an
uneasy air of dropping sadness. He is
forced into the fight to stay, but, alas!
whether he wins or loses he can never
be the same old EbeneZer again.
