THE RAILROAD WAR.
The Rate ON Dressed Beef Cut to 0ne-Iialf
The Tariff Rates.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The Chicago, Santa
Fe & California road has cut the rate on
dressed beef from Kansas City to Chicago
to 10 cents per 100 pounds. The tariff rate
is &c cents, so that the reduction is pre-
cisely one half. This action is the direct
outcome of the war in live stock rates in
which the southwestern roads have been
participating over week. 1t is expected
that cut in provision rates will follow
with every prospect that the fight will ex-
tend to other classes of freight and result
in a general war of rates.

The Biting Tongue.

SANDER attacks us from behind. The
bite is rarely felt unless it is malignant
and persistent. Disease, too, often steals
upon US through vital channel. The air
we breathe affects the lungs-if it be
malarious it enters the blood, if it change
too quickly in the temperature it produces
disease of the throat, etc. Whether
Hostetter's Stomach Bittters is taken to
prevent or to remedy the various forms of
disease produced by miasma, such as in
termittent fever, dumb ague, ague cake or
bilious remittent, it is and ever has proved
to be an effective and thorough remedy
one which does not only ameliorate the
symptoms of the maladles of this type, but
eradicates their cause. Dyspepsia, liver
complaint, rheumatism, bladder and
kidney troubles are among the humanity
afflicted troubles which it promptly re-
lieyes and ultimately removes.

has received letter from A. p. Law, who
is conducting an exploratory expedition to
the eastern coast of Hudson's bay. 1t is
dated Moose Factory. James bay, June 20.
Mr.. Law says that the party has great diff
ticulty in travelling from Lake Winnepeg
to the shores of James bay, the streams
being swollen to such an extent as to make
padding exceedingly dangerous. At the
time the party arrived at James bay the
weather was tolerably cold and the bay
was filed with large ice floods Since then
the party has gone up the bay along the
west coast making explorations of rivers
running from the interior of Labrador

The friends of General Miles resps ct
the record of General Terry and sim
cerely sympathize with him in his i'll
health, and the fact that they have
exercised their right to recommend
General Miles for promotion to the
place which was generally reported
would be soon vacated by General
Terry's voluntary retirement, could
not be construed as either indelicate
or premature.
1t is the custom in military life to
do that very thing, and there are
thousands Of communication in the
War Department recommending
officers of the army not only for exit
ing vacancies, but for the prospective
ones as well, and, indeed, for any that
may occur. The action of the Pacific
Coast delegation was for the best
interests of the great States and
Territories which they represent,
and in behalf of an officer who had
been closely identified with the
progress of that part of our country
