DELAY AGAIN THE pohIcy.
Western Freight Association Slow In
Dealing with Sc. Paul Rates.

CmoAeo, Sept 14-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. The policy of delay is again
being enacted by the Western Freight asso-
ciation The roads Individually are willing
to say what they will do in meeting the cut
rates by the Burlington & Northern. Col
lectively they have put off the final settle
ment Of the matter until Monday.
At the beginning of the morning session
the Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City asked
for delay until the afternoon 80 that General
Manager Egau, Of that road, could be heard
from. The delay was granted, but it brought
no word from Egan.
During the afternoon session the North
western, st. Paul, Rock Island, Illinois Con-
trail and Iowa Central gave notice that they
would meet the Accent local basis made by
the Burlington & Northern. The Wisconsin
Central was not represented at the meeting,
but will undoubtedly meet the rate. The
Northwestern reduction will go into effect
the same day as that of the Burlington
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IS. The rates will be
made by the other roads on the 10Th. Moth
ing was said about the reduction in the
through rate TO Is cents, none of the lines
meeting it at present. There has been little
through traffic, however, and the reduction
is not considered one-tenth as much as that
Ia local rAUeS Salu u tDCmDer OF tne asSOCF
alton at the adjournment this evening:
"rhe reduction Is severe and will bust
some of the lines badly. Those of us which
have lines to the Missouri river are trying
to localize the break, but we are fearful of
the action of the Chicago, St. Paul Il Kansas
City. That line has repeatedly threatened
to carry northwestern reductions to the
Missouri river and If it does this time our
visions of all the paying traffic we could
handle wonld go a-glimmering We are hope
full, however, that the Chicago, st. Paul &
Kansas City will make its fight before divs-
ion of traffic IN the Interstate Railway asso-
citation. 1t can have all the business it wants
If it don't cut Missouri river rates. The ST.
Paul reduction in locals is the most serious
made by the Chicago roads in three years.
In view of all the circumstances | see no
way for an advance in the rates. We will
be satisfied If the thing don't spread"

The Union Brewers Employees.

CIScINSATI, Sept. 1.-THE secret meeting
of the National association of union brewers
employees just closed here after several days
session. 1t is stated they reelected National
Secretary Earnest Kurzenknabe, of New
York. and elected Ibsen editor Of their jour-
nal. They declined to cooperate with the
league for the preservation of citizens
rights, of this city, 10 their efforts to Obtain
a repeal OF the laws restricting the sale of
beer, not for the reasons that the association
was opposed to the sale Of beer after mid
night on Sunday, but because the repeal OF
the Ohio laws on the subject would inure to

whose employees are not members of the
union. They adopted resolutions favoring
the eight hour day, and against patronizlng
free beer of Cincinnati, Milwaukee and st.

The O., Il. ~ N. Fooled.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE action of the Chi
cago Burlington & Northern road IN reduc-
ing the freight rates between Chicago aud
st. Paul to a 40-cent basis claimed the undl-
vided attention of the representatives of the
western ana northwestern lines to-day. The
Burlington g. Northern evidently calculated
that they would have reduced rates in fare
at least one day before competitors, but the
other roads refused to sec the matter in that
light and all the rates will come down to-
gether. There seems no doubt that Mis-
souri, river rates will also be pulled down,
but the most serious result will probably be
the reduction in the Iowa distance tariff.

SENATOR FARwELL.
He Talks on the Results of the
Dressed Beef Inquiry.


Dressed Beef Inquiry.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. l-Serator Farwell has just re-
turned from his western tour with the SEN
ate committee that is investigating the
dressed beef question. II will say" SAID
he, to-day, "that the committee is satisfied
with its work. At Kansas City the big
packers responded to the committees sum
mons and testified freely, drawing back only
when matters of purely private nature
were approached. MIR. Armour, for in
stance when questioned as to the profits of
his business, said that he was perfectly will
ing to submit his balance sheet to the COM
mittee for private inspection, but when Sen
ator Vest stated that If submitted at all the
facts must be published Mr.. Armour said
he would put his balance sheet in his pocket,
and he did. think he acted properly, too.
No man would want his private business
made public property. But, on the whole,
the committee secured valuable testimony at
Kansas City. Our inquiries received ready
responses and the facts developed were inter-
esting and important"
"Cannot you state the conclusion which
you reached as a result of the inquiry!"
"Well, in word, overproduction is the
cause of the depression winch we were in.
vestigatiug. This was brought out by the
questions which put myself and am salts
fed that the whole thing is accounted for by
this simple theory"
p "But that doesn't account for the increased
cost of beef to consumers, does it!'
NO. but that point was also explained very
satisfactorily by witness, who showed that
it was due to the present method of cutting
up the carcass of bullock. The choice cuts
have been very much reduced, and thus a
much larger proportion of the beef is sold at
a cheap rate, some at 2 cents pound What
is lost In the weight of the choice cuts is
made up in the price which the consumer
pays. The witness said that everybody
wanted the choice cuts and would take no
other, the poor being as fastidous as the
RICH"
Turning from the beef question to politics,
the reporter asked what the senator thought
of Corporal Tanners resignation.
81 think there was no other way out of the
difficulty" said he. "Fhe differences be-
tween him and Secretary Noble were of such
nature that one or the other had to go, and
Mr.. Tanner has gone. 1 do not know thing
about the charges against Mr.. Tanner, and
have no opinion to express on the merits OF
the case.n

CoLoRED BAPTlsrs EXCITED.
The Recent Outrage Very Warmly
Discussed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 14.-The negro Bap-
fists resumed their discussion of the outrages
again to-day. Rev. Mr.. Jordan, of Missis-
sppi, made a speech deprecating the remarks
advocating violence in return for southern
wrongs, as it places mass of helpless col
ored people at the mercies of the criminal
classes of the south. Others of the Missis-
sppi delegation talked in the same vein, and
resolutions were finally introduced and
adopted to the effect that the colored people
desire to cultivate friendly relations with
those among whom they live. President Love
made speech retelling the story of the as
sault upon himself, and said the passage OF
the resolution would make it appear that
there had been no outrages and that he had
made false statements This caused much
excitement and the vote was reconsidered
and the resolution tabled. The members Of
the Mississippi delegation insisted, however,
upon their names going on record as being
opposed to violence, and this was allowed.

SEEN In A DREAM.
The Return of a Gold Chain After Twelve
Years.

The Return off Gold Chain After Twelve
Years.
Augusta tMe.) New Age.l
In 1868 Lizzie M. Trask, of Vienna, was
dressmaking in Lewiston. She came into
possession of a gold 25-cent piece with a
hole in it. This she showed as curiosity
to her friends. At that time she had a
little niece 2 years old, daughter of Jona-
than P. Trask, now the wife of Leman
Butler, trader in Mount Vernon. The little
coin Lizzie once showed to her niece Addie
when she was a very small girl, telling her
that she would give it to her when she was
old enough to take care of it. Lizzie died
IL years ago. In her possession was
good lady's wallet with several compart-
ments. This wallet her mother used until
her death seven years ago.
Then James, a brother of Lizzie, had it
and it has'been in constant use almost daily
ever since, either by him or his wife. The
little gold coin was never seen after Liz
zie's death, or before for several years by
her friends, and its whereabouts was not
known, and in fact its existence had passed
from their memory. A few days ago Mrs.
Butler made her parents visit, stopping
with them several nights.
Wnlle there she dreamed that she saw her
Aunt Lizzie's wallet, and that it was faced
with green, and in a certain compartment
she found the little gold coin which she
saw so many years ago. On telling her
mother her dream she was informed that
Lizzie did have a wallet which answered
her description, and that her Uncle James
had it. The wallet Addie had never seen.
She then visited her uncle, and told her
dream to her aunt, who laughed at the idea
of anything being in it other than what
she and her husband had placed there.
But at Adde'S earnest solicitation she pro-
duced it. and as soon as Addie saw it she
exclaimed: That is the same wallet that
L saw in my dream and pointed out the
compartment that held the treasure. She
then took needle, and running it to the
bottom she drew forth newspaper, and in
it was, indeed, a gold quarter with hole
in it, wrapped, no doubt, by the hand of
her aunt at least IL years before, where it
had lain all this time, and no one knows
how much longer, without the knowledge
of any one until Adde'S dream caused it
to be brought forth.

William Martin, Secretary of the Amalga-

proclamation of Sheriff McCandless warning
all persons to keep off the grounds of the steel

THEIR PLAN NOT INDORSED.
"In consultation to-day with Sheriff McCan-

question of how far the strikers could 90 was
discussed.
THE officers of the association proposed to
detail certain men who would alternately
board each train from Pittsburg to Homestead,
and state their side of the case to all men go
ing to the town to work. and if by moral
suasion the agents could not persuade them to
leave before reaching Homestead, he should
retire and allow the men to go to work. As a
guarantee of good faith, and to see that no ad-
vantage was taken of the men, the Sheriff was
requested to detail a deputy to accompany each
agent. The proposition was rejected. The
Sheriff claimed hat the court would not recog-
nize such proceeding.

nothing new in the case with the exception Of
the letter he received. He was asked If he
thought Mr.. Campbell was likely to be sum
moned. He replied: The prosecution will
have to wait until sufficient proof has been
given to show that the workmen were i'm

have to be sent back before suits were en-

It is thought that some important testimony
will be given to-day.

whether he had anything TO say about the in
yestigation to-day. and replied that he had not
heard of it and had no statement whatever to

At CLOSE QUARTERS.

The Tiger Hunted the Duke, but Royalty
Was Too Much for Him.
During the recent stay of the Due dor
leans in India he visited Lord Duferin at
Calcutta, and grand tiger hunt was Or
ganized, which lasted six weeks and ranged
over 160 miles of country. The Duke shot
eight tigers. One incident he relates as fol-
lows:
1.-TWO cubs of tigress had been shot and
the mother hemmed in by line of ele-
plants. There was an idea that she was
crouching in small path of jungle behind
tree on the bank of q small stream, but
none OF our elephants could be got any
where near it. After some time my ele-
phant, being pluckier than the others, was
induced to move forward and push the tree
down. While thus engaged the tigress
sprang out from beside it with a roar and a
tremendous leap right to the top of my how
dab, smashing in the front of it-breaking
my gun with one blow of her paw and explod-
ing the right barrel before 1 had time to
fire. This is the gun." producing double
barreled rifle broken in two places just be-
low the barrels. the trigger guards and

discharged, the other still at half-cock.
Fortunately for me-" continued the
Prince, "she then tumbled backward, possi-
bly, startled by the explosion, and made off
for the jungle. My elephant, mad with
fright, bolted in the opposite direction, and
for considerable distance nothing would
stop her. When at length we got back to
the others we found the whole line of ele-
plants so demoralized that we had to give
up the sport for that day and return to the
camp. Next morning we cornered our game
in nearly the same spot and had the good
luck to bring her down just as she was
crossing the river"
"What became of the mahout when the
tigress leaped on the elephant?" was asked.
"Oh. he managed to slip round in some
extraordinary way under the elephants
ear, and was unhurt, but lost his head
dress"
