WASHINGTON, Oct. 7,-Hon. Roger
Q. Mills, of Texas, is in the city. In
conversation last night with the Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
American Mr.. Mills said, that though
in the minority. the democrats were
fully cons eious of their power and
would use it.
I'VE do not PROPOSE" said he, that
the republican majority will pass sim
gle measure without our consent. For
instance you may depend on it tn at
the rules of the house will not be
changed by the republ lean majority in
any essential feature. Nor will we
permit any of the proposed legislation
looking to control by congress of cleo
tions, for we see very plainly the pur-
pose of that. The same can be said of
the contest cases that will come up be-
fore congress. In other words, we pro-
pose to exercise control of the house
just as much as though we were in the
majority, because we know our minori-
ty is strong enough to make us the vir-
tual rulers"
The state department is in receipt
of a partial report by w. G. Allen,
United States consul to Kingston. of
the recent riot at NavaSsa. 1t agrees
with the press accounts already pub
Hshed and has an addition in
letter from Mr.. Henson the

ing their version of the trouble.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8.-A call for
a meeting of the League of Heaven
and Earth, posted in Chinatown, re-
veaIs the strength and holiness of the
Chinese secret society which has been
prescribed in China since the TAPPING
rebellion. Its existence here was
known only to members, but it has
grown much lately and it is said that
since the beginning of the year it has
made its power felt against its enc
mics It was originally founded by
native Chinese to secure the overthrow
of the Tartar dynasty, and has now
become, like the highlander societies, a
machine for blackmail and vengeance.
It's peculiar feature is that its victims
are removed completely, no trace of
the corpse being left to serve as clue
to the crime. Six Chinese are said to
have suffered death at its hands with
in the last few months. but relatives
can get no facts about their fate.

AHeavx Rata Cut.

CHICAGO, Oct. ga local paper
says: The most startling example of
rate cutting since the coal and coke trou
bic last spring has just been made pub
lie. For weeks the Chicago, st. Paul
s. Kansas City road has been engaged
in manipulating freight rates on al
most every class of grain from Kansas
City. Especially has this been true OF
corn. Not until within a week have
rival lines been able to make specific
charges, backed up by ample evidence.
The sin of the Kansas City was made
public by accident. The Kansas
City, st. Joseph s. Council
Bluffs a proprietary line of the Bur-
lington system handles the traffic of
the Chicago st. Paul & Kansas city
from st. Joseph the terminus of the Of
fendirg road TO Kansas City. Recent
ly an unusually large consignment of
corn was shipped by the Kansas City
line from Kansas City to Chicago. La
ter on the shipper made out a claim for
rebate OF two cents per 100 pounds and
by piece of careleSsnesS presented the
claim to the Kansas City st. Joe &
Council Bluffs supposing as that line
handled the business of the Chicago
Kansas City & st. Paul out of Kansas
lily IL was dli Il&uBs L Ills ClhlHl MAS
taken without comment and promptly
turned over to the Burlington main Of
flee in Chicago as interesting reading.
An investigation was started and it
was discovered that the Chicago st.
Paul & Kansas City had secured no
less than 1900 cars of corn from Kan
sas City and st. Joseph to Chicago by
cutting the rate two cents. Subsequent
Developments indicate that the cut
was made on from 1000 to 5000
cars of grain. 1t was further
discovered that the the Kansas City
has been billing corn from Kansas
City and st. Joe to Duluth at the Chi
cago rate and then changing the des-
tination while the shipment is in tran
sit from Duluth to Chicago. In max
ing the divisions on this freight.
the Kansas City accepted from to q
cents of its proportion on rates from
points west of the Missouri river,
thereby indicating that some of the
lines west Of the Missouri were in
fiuencing freight over the Kansas City
in consideration of division allowing
from to IL cents more than their pro
portion. The Kansas City is a mem
Der of the Interstate Commerce Rail-
road association and recently made 3
statement demanding an equal diVis-
ion of the traffic between Kansas CITY
and Chicago The Burlington made 3
similar demand and to the surprise OF
everybody, the Kansas City withdrew
its demand and joined the other roads
in opposing the Burlington claim
The matter of the cut has been brought
| before Chairman Midgley of the South
western Freight association and Chair
man Walker of the Interstate Com
merce Railroad association and vii
| probably be laid before the president
meeting to-day.

to subscribe to the new { per cent

nothing like and assessment of any So

and has been so far unanimously en-

has returned 70 st. Paul having nearly
finished its work. The chairman, ex-
United States Congressman Ryan,
said: 'sThe Indians of Red Lake have

large pine forests. The Mile Laos
ceded all their land except such as will
be allotted to them in seVeraIty. The
tribal relations of all these Indians
have now ceased and under the nego-
tiations completed they vii! be COM
PEELED to take lands in severalty. They
are now full fiedged citizens under the
laws of the state. The lands are to be
appraised and sold at not less than the
appraised value. Persons conversant
with the pine Of that region estimate
that it is worth not less than Sc, eco, :
coo. All the money received from
sales after deductiBg expenses will be
placed in the treasury Of the United
States and bear interest at Per cent.
A large proportion of this will be spent
for schools for the Indians and to aid
them In agricultural pursuits. All the
Indians are very anxious for work and
want TO own their homes and live like

BRAINARD. Mimi, Oct. S.-A feud
has long existed between the boys liv-
ing On the east and west bank of the
Mississippi river, and the west side
boys have declared a war of extermin-
alton against the east siders. Armed
with small breech loading rifles, two
west siders stationed themselves be-
hind an old saw mill and opened fire
on the others firing across the stream.
The latter were armed only with toy
pistols, but stood their ground until
four rifle shots were fired, the last shot
bringing down Beart Tracy, aged 8

die. The attacking children fed and
