NEW YoRK, Nov. lG,-The Herald
says: The excitement over the tremen-
dous cut in west bound freight rates in
augurated by the NewYorls Central, had
apparently almost died out in railroad
shipping -and financial circles to-day.
But the calm was deceptive. There ID
promise Of lively developments within d
lew days. Judge Cooley, OF the Inter
State Commission, has, it is said, re-
solved to request the New York Central
officials to give up the names OF the
'sevetal roads" alleged to have been se-
cretly cutting rites, and he will also de-
mand from Traffic Manager Guilford, ol
he New York Central, the proofs OF his
statements.

the occasion was altogether the livliest
ever witnessed in the town. It is no

CLARksBuRa, W. Va, Nov. 10.-It is
said here by an expert telegraph oper-
ator, whose name for the present is with
held, and who was in an office in this
State last week that he heard and read a
communication going on between Cam
den and other Democrats to the effect
that Goff was elected, but that Fiem-
ing must be counted in. He
could read the message by standing in
the room, as by manipulating the key.
A meeting was called at Wheeling, at
which were McGraw, Fleming and
others, where it was decided to demand
u recount in Kanawha, Boone and Logan
counties for the purpose of changing
the result" At that meeting the Reg.
ister was ordered to keep up the clamor
that GoE was beaten, but TO give no
figures until after the recount was had,
and then, If the result could be echanged,
the present claim would help to cover
up the fraud.

INTERESTING POSSIBILITY
The House Of Representatives
too Close for Comfort.
VIRGINIA MAY DECIDE
And that Is why the Democrats are
Making Such Desperate Efforts
to Count out Republicans
who arc clearly Elected.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 1S.-Gen'
John R. Clark, Jr., the Clerk of the
House of Representatives, believes that
sixty Democratic Representatives have
been elected and that elk districts are in
doubt. This calculation is based upon
the assumption that Wilson (Democrat)
is elected in West Virginia. The doubt
full districts, in General Clark's estimate,
are the First, California; Tenth, Ken
tucky; Second, North Carolina, and the
First, Third and Fourth of West Vir-
ginia. These districts he sets down as
doubtful, because they are claimed by
both parties on majorities SO small
that the official count must be
awaited to determine the result.
In the case OF Representative
Bacon {Dem., of New York, who Is re-
ported to have been defeated by eighty
majority, Gen. Clark expects that u
contest will ensue. OF one thing he is
confident, and that is that the majority
in the next House will not be over i've
either way. Relative to the functions
OF the Clerk in the organization oil the
new House and the power he is supposed
to be able to exercise in seating or nn-
seating members, Gen. Clark says that
his duties are fixed by statute and are
purely ministerial. II member pre-
sents a proper certificate OF election his
name will be placed on the roll and not
otherwise. There cannot be duplicate
certificates, because there are at present
no dual State governments as there
have been in times past in the South.
General Clyk said that from the Off
cial records before him it appeared that
the Republicans had elected majority
OF one in the next House, and this was
because up to the present time but one
certificate had been presented to him,
namely that OF Representative Hermann,
ol Oregon. The certificates are usually
a long time coming in, us they are not
issued until some time after the official
returns are made public. In the case OF
Missouri this does not take place until
January, and in many other States the
date is equally remote from election
day. The reduction OF the claims both
PARTIES to very narrow majorities OF
from three or five or six suggests inter
esting possibilities, wheH it is remem-
bered that no less than six persons who
were elected to the Forty-ninth Congress
died either before they had been sworn
in or after they had taken their seats,
and that thereisa strong possibility that
that there will be some deaths among
1926 men OF mature years during the long

blage OF the new Congress.

CHAMRERLAIS, OAK, Nov. 16.-In
February, 1885, President Arthur issued
a proclamation declaring the Grow Creek

settlement. Large numbers Of people
Immediately flocEed on the lands. Soon
after Cleyeland's Inauguration he with

dered all settlers off. Many OF them left,
but a large number OF them are still liv-
ing on the lands and arc now circulating

the land we reside upon, We cannot
have schools and otheradvantages which
we highly prize. We pray the President
of the United States, or Congress in the

settlement to actual settlers, that our
needs may be supplied by securing titles
TO our homes and schools for our chill

CutcAao, Nov. lG.-A local paper says;
Some OF the roads are undoubtedly max
ing rates on westbound traffic from New
York below those inaugurated by the
New York Central a day or two ago.
Tho latter tariff is on the basis OF 80
cents, first class, New York to Chicago.

with memorandum, quoting the fol-
lowing rates, New York to Chicago, by
the commercial express fast freight line !;

not be asked to accept reduction in

to shut down all Of the mines, for the
reason that the selling price OF coal is SO
low at Cincinnati and southern ports
that we arc not justified in running
them" The suspension will throw 5000
men out Of employment.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-The Public
Ledger, in its financial article, says rela-

We can ascertain upon inquiry at the
office OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
present trouble in rites arises largely
from the fact that there is no method
under which agreements as 10 rates can
be maintained or enforced. The newer
and weaksF lines feel that they cannot
command traffic at equal rates with the
older aud more established lines, and
while they would no doubt prefer an
amicable arrangement under which the
traffic could be divided, there is no way,
since the passage Of the Interstate
Commerce law, in which an arrangement
can be legally made. The competition,
too, OF the Canadian lines, which areex-
ceedingIy active competitors for both
east and west bound traffic Of the United
States, and which are not under the con-
troll OF the Interstate Commerce law,
makes the situation still more peFplex-
