1t Wants to Make Kansas City a
Basing Point for Cattle Rates.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 16.-The
general managers of the Western and
Southwestern roads held here to-day
pursuant to the adjournment taken in
Chicago last Friday. The object of the
meeting was to consider the application
of the Rock Island to be allowed to
make rate of % cents on shipments of
cattle from Caldwell, Kan, to Chicago.
The present rate is 40 cents-19 cents
from Caldwell to Kansas City. and %
cents from Kansas City to Chicago.
w. W. Sage, general traffic agent of the
Rock Island, presented his roads claim.
The only live stock business his road
was getting at Kansas City, he said,
was that brought here by the Rock
Islands southwestern extension, and the
reduced rate would affect no one but
themselves. j. F. Goddard. general
traffic agent Of the Santa Fe, opposed
the proposition. The Missouri river,
he said, was the natural place at which
basing rates should be committed, and
the establishment Of any other basing
points west of here on. a level with
Kansas City, would disturb all freight

was finally taken until to-mor-
row morning, when the consideration
of the Rock Islands proposition will be
resumed. The freight department Of
the Missouri Railway association
resumed its meetings here to-day. The
meeting was for the purpose of cOnsid-
ering the application of the Rock Island
to establish rate on cattle of % cents
from Caldwell. Owing to the meeting
of the general managers, also in session
here, no action on the matter was taken.
The Santa Fe applied for reduced rate
of five cents a hundred pounds on salt
from Hutchinson, Kan. The Rock
Island and Missouri Pacific opposed the
application. An adjournment was
taken before a decision could be
reached. The association meets again

the expenses of the state militia, as well
as for labor and implements used in re-

which were furnished bya Philadelphia
clothing firm, when palmer clothing
would have better suited the purpose.
A number of instances of this kind are
cited by the Johnstown people as an
evidence of the injudiclous manner in
which the relief fund has been expend-
ed. 1t is possible that these stories
have been exaggerated, yet 1t is mis-
fortune that better system had not
been adopted for disbursing the fund.
The money that was contributed was
givenscheerfully; still every dollar of it
should be religiously accounted for.
The person who would misappropriate
any part of fund of this kind merits
censure, and the scoundrel who would
divert dollar of it to speculative pur-
poses ought to be hung.

The various great railroads which start

is what degree of combination is neces-

themselves for the change. Discussion

CHICAGO, July 16.-Judge Horton in

Senior Guardian Beggs' application for

LIKE OUR STYLE,

An Englishman, yesterday, in re-
spouse to inquiry why so many English
people are investing in American in
dustries, assigned as the chief cause the
prevalence of an impression among his
countrymen that such things were OPP
Grated in this country on broad-gauge
and somewhat loose system, with little
of the close figuring common in the old
countries. The foreign capitalists argue.
says the Englishman, that if the Amer
leans can make money with their un-
economical methods, they, with their
more carefully adjusted systems and
larger experience, can make these in
dustrial and commercial investments
still more profitable. In his judgment
they would go on reaching out and pos
sessing until they control the chief
manufactures, mines and other indus
tries, as they now do the larger part Of
the railroads and shipping.

% cent rates on cattle will be met only
at Kansas City, and 25 cents will be
charged from st. Joseph, Omaha and

will be maintained at all points even at

to keep them out of Iowa, so that the

that the influx of Americans and Amer

so through some friend or relative, and
are so ashamed of what they are about
