TWO SURPRISES.

q
A workman piled his clumbsy spade
AS the sun was going down
The German King, with a cavalcade,
On his way to Berlin Town,
Refined up his steed at the old mans side.
8 My toiling friend said he,
+" Why not cease work at eventide
When the laborer should be free ~
" do not slave" the old man said
!" And am always free
Though work from the time leave my
Till can hardly see."
=" How much,'' said the King, " is thy
gain in day 20
8 Eight groschen," the man replied.
" And thou canst live on this meagre
pay ?o
g Like a king. . he said with pride.
6 Two groschen for me and my wife, and
friend,
And two for the debt owe;
Two groschen to lend, and two to spend
For those who can't labor you know.
" Thy debit" said the King /; said the
toiler, g Yea,
To my mother with age oppressed,
Who cared for me, toiled for me, many a
day,
And now hath need of rest.
" To whom dostl lend of thy daily store ~
= Two my boys-for their schooling
you see,
When am too feeble to toll any more,
They will care for their mother and
me-"
" And thy last two groschen ?" the mon
arch said /;
My sisters are old and lame;
I give them two groschen for raiment
and bread,
All in the Fathers name"
Tears welled up to the good Kings eyes.
Thou knowest me not" said he
:" As thou hast given me one surprise,
Here is another for thee.
" am thy King give me thy hand''-
And he heaped it high with gold
When more thou needest, I command
That l at once be told.
6 For would bless with rich reward
The man who can proudly say
That eight souls doth he keep and guard
On eight poor groschen day"

SAN Francisco, CAL, October 26.-The
steamer Arabic arrived from Hong Kong
and Yokohama this afternoon. The Hong
Kong Gazette has statement published in
the Chinese Times to the effect that the ac-
ton of the Chinese minister to the United
States in the matter of the treaty which was
recently rejected by the Chinese govern
ment, excited great luminosity against him
in Owantum, aud endeavors were made by
an angry mob to wreck the minister
house. The Chinese Times also contains a
letter signed by tho Pekin officials written
just after the news had reached China that
the United States senate had passed the
Chinese exclusion bill. Following is an ex-
tract and is taken from the letter:
ut is an obnoxious American bill, and,
should it be carried into effect, there will no
other course open for China, CONSTANT with
her dignity as a nation, thsn to adopt retail
iatory measures by prohibiting the citizens
of the United States from coming to China.
This will be by no means propOrtionate to
the harm done to the Chinese interests in
America. but it will have to be done in order
to show that the Chinese can do the same
thing, and if it will have no effect in bring
ing the United States congress and the
fairness, then it will be question for China
to consider whether it is not for her to
cancel her treaties made with that country,
to recall her subjects from there, to expel
all the United States citizens from this
country, and to cease all relations and inter-
course, diplomatic and commercial, with
that country"

GOOD FOR SHIPPERS.

A War on Live Stock Rates From the Mis-
souri, River to Chicago Imminent.
CHICAGO, October 26.-Another war on
live stock rates from the Missouri river to
Chicago seems to be imminent. The recent
agreement fixes tariff on cattle of $68.75
per car from the Indian Territory to Chica-
go by way of Kansas City, of which rate the
lines from the Indian Territory to Kansas
City are allowed 40 per cent and the lines
from Kansas City to Chicago GO per cent.
Two of the Kansas City roads run from the
Territory through to Chicago, but they have
not been able to control this traffic satisfac-
torily and are said 10 have taken steps that
are not approved by other roads, being IN
able to send cars of cattle through over the
lines they refused to bill through at through
rates, but charge connecting lines local rates
to Kansas city. If the lines east from Kan
sas City take the business from Kansas City
at full rates their through rates will be
SIS. Is per Car higher than the rate provided
by the schedule.
The roads affected By this have deter
mined to take any cars coming to them at
Kansas City to Chicago for the balance left
of the through rate after the local tariff of
S36.25 to Kansas City has been taken out.
This will make the rate from Kansas City to
Chicago $32. so instead of $1.26.

Murder and Arson.

CLEVELAND, o., October 26.-David Sell
ers and his wife, living near Mount Gilead.
o., were murdered last night night, and
their house was fired by the perpetrators of
the crime. Their daughter and the hired
man, who slept up stairs, were awakened
about o'clock this morning by smoke be-
fore the flames had gained much Roadway.
They escaped and fiually succeeded in get
ting the bodies Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sellers out.
Both were dead. The mans head had been
burned off and the womaa's skull had been
crushed and her jaw broken.
The coroner held an inquest and decided
that both had been murdered. Sellers was
very wealthy, and was in the habit of keep
ing money in the house. 1t is therefore
supposed that the murder was committed by
burglars. There is great excitement in the
vicinity of Mount Gilead, and parties have
been organized to search for the murderers.

AN OPINION DELIVERED.

The Examination of the New Transconti-
mental Tariff Made Public.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 26.-The
interstate commerce commission, by COM
missioner Walker, has made public the
result of its examination of the new trans
continual tariff which were put in effect Sep
TENDER /, 1888. The opinion states the diff
ficulties which arose at Chicago, st. Louis
and other interior points, from which rates
are established to the Pacific coast higher
than rates from New York City, are exp ain
ed to have arisen from a series of COM
modify tariffs, which named articles on
which, Low rates were made from specified
points, leaving all other articles and points,
subject to the class rate under the western
classification. In respect those special
tariffs the commission rules as follows.
Rates that are Just and reasonable from
selected manu- featuring points, through the
entire territory east of the Missouri river
and west of the Atlantic seaboard are prime
facie, Just ana reasonable from all other
points in the same territory. A tariff naming
q rate from one locality lower than the
enjoining by its neighbor, when the circum-
stances teLders as preference of advantage
to the first, and when any shipper is dam
aged by the enaction of any additional bur-
den the preference becomes undue and I'M
reasonable, unless it can be justified upon
come sound and substantial ground. Com
mon carriers are under obligations to take
all descriptions of ordinary traffic from all
points, and it is right that the rates should
be known and announced publicly in ad-
vance of the offerings of traffic.
Under the act to regulate commerce, ship
pers are not to be put in position of sub
serviency to common carries, nor required
to ask for rates but are entitled to equal
and open rates at all times. Discrimlna-
tions are made and undue advantages are
given by special tariffs in question, in Civ
ing different rates to places named, and
those not named, to jobbers at places
named, and those not named, to manufac-
turers and to jobbers and other dealers.
The opinion further states that these con-
illusions were mads known on October 16,
to representatives of the transcontinental
lines at an interview arranged for that pur-
pose and wsre at once scceded to. The
modified arrangement suggested by the
commission as to vest bound business bay-
ing gone into effect on October %.
