Railroad Commissioners Campbell
Tells What He Knows About
Rates and Earnings.

DES MONIES, Aug. This was the
last day of the railroad commissioners
examination. Commissioner Campbell
was on the stand, being called On for
the figures from which he obtained
his figures of gross earnings of roads.
He produced the executive councils
pamphlet, giving the valuation
of railroads for 1887, in which is COM
piled figures of the gross earnings of
roads for several years from 1873, show
ing steady increase in earnings under
the granger law except in one year.
Counsel wanted to know whether the
diminished construction of railroads in
law was not due to tRat
enactment. Witness thought the
determination of those engaged in
railroad management to get even with
the people for undertaking to control
railroads by legislation, kept them from
extending their lines. Questioned as to
values Of railroad property, as
in the commissioners report, he said
they were based on the market price in
Wall street and net earnings, and had
doubts as to the accuracy of the former
basis, variations as to different roads
being so great. Witness examined vari-
Gus railroad reports to ascertain how
many had failed to earn enough to pay
operating expenses, interest and rental,
varying from five to thirteen in
different years. This state of
affairs witness thought was due
partly to rate wars and partly
to building improbable railroads.
Counsel read long extracts from former
report in which the board spoke OF dem
agogue shippers wanting rebates, ETC.,
as improperly influencing public senti-
ment, and asked witness whether the
same met his approval. He said in part
it did.

Through, and Western AssOcia-
tion Managers Have Nothing to
Ratify.
Special TO the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-The board of di-
rectOrs of the Western association held
a meeting here to-day. The meeting
was called to ratify the transfer of the
Minneapolis franchise to Davenport,
but before the meeting was called to
order, Manager GoOding, of Minneap-
oils. received a dispatch from Daven-
pert to the effect that the contract had
failed of ratification, and that the entire
deal was Off. The meeting therefore
adjourned. The question Of possible
sale of the MarOOns was not presented.
HEARD IN NINNEAPOLIS.
The announcement last evening that
Davenport had ''craWtiShed" on the
agreement with Manager Gooding pro
duced considerable diSmay in Minneap-
oils, on two accounts. lnaSmuch as 1t
suddenly stopped the pending deal with
Chicago. it produced CONSERVATION IN
the quarter where work to that end had
been going on. But the greatest
who realized the situation in
which it leaves him. The team will be
home Saturday, and with no money to
pay the players a general break may be
anticipated. and it is feared Gooding may
lose everything. Morton is roundly cen
sured for not calling the association
meeting promptly, as that would have
closed the deal with Davenport and Sc
cured Gooding. f. a. Leland denied
very emphatically that he or A.
G. Spalding were i'll any way
responsible for it, or that they had i'll
any way interfered with the Gooding
stock company in process of formation.
he knows nothing about Morton's views,
or why he failed to call the meeting
sooner 1t is possible that Davenport
patched up scheme to refuse the Min
neapolis deal for the purpose of freez-
ing out GOodng, and then hoping to get
a vacant place for nothing. If this can
be shown, there is small hope of the as
Sociation ever Sanctioning it by admit
ting that village.
What will result no one seems to
know, but the sympathy for Gooding was
general, and was coupled with the hope
that he might be able to tide the trouble
in some way. He has given the usual
bond of $500 to play the season out,
which is liable TO forfeit if the team dis
bands. He will probably be home to-
day and give out some information on
the subject.
