saying things. He sees the follow
ing origin of much of the so.called
labor problem Here is II shoe
shop. One of the men is always
busy during the day. In the eve

There are five other men that don't
do any such thing. They spend half
their evening in dissipation. The

out those others and gets II boot

eternal struggle between labor and

Further Particulars Aggravate the Awful
Affair.

Further Particulars Aggravate the Awful
AFFAIR.
PARIS, Feb l5.-Further particulars
of the Siberian horror have been re-
ceivcd, and show that the cruelties were
worse than at first reported.
1t now appears that Nine. Sihida's
younger sister, sixteen years old, went
to Siberia to look after her comfort.
Arriving there, she had the misfortune
to please the eye OF the director of tho
prison. She was detained by him upon
a trumped-up charge of conniving at
Mme. Sihida's attempted escape, and
became victim of his brutality. She
was subjected to such atrocious treat
ment as to cause her death soon after.
Nine. Sihida, indignant and terror
stricken by this awful event. vehemently
denounced the outrage. She attracted
the attention of the director, who then
approached her with the same insults
he had hcaped upon her sister. The
monstrous revenge of the director in
having her publicly logged followed.
and this punishment was accompanied
by inhuman incidents which probably
had more to do in driving her to suicide
than the exposure to which she had
been subjected.
The revolt in the male prison is con-
firmed, ard it is now definitely known
that the number killed amounted to
forty-one.
Upon learning the particulars and
realizing the universal protest and
violent feeling the case would arouse,
the Gar dispatched an officer to replace
the director and ordered that official to
report at st. Petersburg.

Reduction of Rates.
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-At a meeting OF
the southwestern division of the West
ern Freight Association yesterday after
noon Chairman Midgley reported that.
he had investigated charges of manip--
ulation by some Of the roads at South
western Missouri river points. The only
roads concerned were the Chicago,
Milwaukee, & st. Paul and the Missouri
Pacific.
The representative of the Milwaukee
& St. Paul at once proposed q reduction
in freight rates from Chicago to Kansas
City to the basis of SO cents first-class,
the present basis being rs cents, the sb-
ject of this being to stop the irregulari-
ties complained Of, but Chairman
Midgely ruled that the proposition could
not be considered, as the agreement
provided that five days notice must be
given in advance of a regular meeting
of any intended change in rates.

matter to the board of managers of the

COMPLAINT DISMISSED.
Decision OF the Interstate Commission q
the Cattle Reslhipment Case Favorable 4

Decision OF the Interstate Commission In
the Cattle Reshipment Case Favorable to
the Chicago q Alton.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Inter.
State Commerce Commission yesterday,
in an opinion by Chairman Cooley, rem
dered its decision in the case Of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad
Company against the Chicago & Alton
Railroad Company, dismissing the COM
plant
The case was a controversy between
the two railroad companies. involving
the right of tho Rock Island Company
to be protected in its method of shipping
cattle from points west Of Kansas City
billed through to Chicago and of allowing
them to be held over at Kansas City for an
indefinite time to try the market there,
and then if it reshipped either the same
cattle or others substituted in their
places at the through rate originally
agreed upon, that the Alton Company
should have no right to take the roship-
mcnt from Kansas City to Chi
cago at the proportionatc rate OF
the original through rate. On this
point the Commission held as follows:
where property is to be transported by
rail by continuous and uninterrupted
carriage from one station to another,
there may be sound and legal reasons
for making a charge for the through
transportation which is less than the
sum of the locals for the transportation
of like property from point to point
between such stations. But where prop
crty is billed from one station to an
other with the understanding that it is
to be unloadcd at an intermediate sta
ton, and that whether it shall be re-
loaded for further carriage will de-
pend upon the option of the shipper
or Of any one who may have become
purchaser, the case does not fall
within the rules governing rates on
through transportation and the carrier
is not at such intermediate points en-
titled to have the carriage protected as
a through shipment as against Compel

PARNELL ExoNERA1Ep.


Ihe Parneil COmmisaiOn Makes Its Report
What the Conclusions Arc.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE report Of the
Parnell Commission, laid before Parlia-
ment yesterday, is long and tedious
document, taking up the case of each
Irish member of Parliament against
! whom charges were brought and enter
ing infinitely into the details of the tes-
timony. The upshot of the report, or
what may be termed judgment of the
court, is as follows:
1t is proved that Messrs. Davitt.
Harris, Dillon, w. E. O'Brien, w. Red
mond, OConnor. Condor and O'Kelly
conspired to bring about the absolute
! separation Of Ireland from Great Britain;
the fac smile Parnell letter was for
gerry; the defendants were sincere in
denouncing the Phoenix park murders;
the defendants did incite intimida-
ton and invited the assistance of
Ford. Mr.. Parnell is exonerated
from the charge of assisting Byrne to
escape. 1t is not true that Mr.. Parnell
was intimate with leading Invincibles.
Mr.. Davitt was closely associated with
the party of violence in America. The
export is more moderate and impartial
than was expected and consequently
gives satisfaction to nobody except the
Judges, who are relieved to get it of
their hands.
The report further says: cit is not
proved that the defendants subscribed
toward the assistance of or intimately
associated with notorious criminals or
paid money to procure their escape from
Justice. 1t is not proved that the de-
PENDANTS were aware that the Clan-na-
Gael controlled the American League or
collected money for the Parliamentary
fund. 1t is not proved that at the
time of the Kilmainham negotiations
Mr.. Parnell was aware that Sheridan
and Boynton were organizing their out
RACES. The Invincibles were not a
branch of the Land League. The
League neither organized nor paid Irwin
cibles. None of the defendants directly
or indirectly had knowledge of the
Phoenix Park conspiracy. Piggott was
utterly unworthy of credit. All letters
he produced as eliminating were for
geries."
On the other hand the judges say the
league never gave the authorities any
assistance in detecting crime. There
are no details of the expenditure of
e1OO, 900 of the league funds. There is
no valid excuse for the non-production
of its books. The Commission has not
received from Mr.. Parnell or the league
the assistance it expected. The report
is signed by all judges.

OLD COUPLE MURDERED.

Double Murder I'm Nebraska and Cattle
OMAHA, Ncb., Feb. 15.-The bodies Of
an old couple named Jones, living six
miles west of here, were found yester-
day morning hidden in heap of refuse
behind barn on their farm. Both
bodies were perforated with bullets.
They had evidently been dead for some
days. The husband was sevcnty-onc
years of age and tho wife had just passed
her sixtieth year. The body of the old
man was found in a dung heap djoining
the COW barn. He had been buried
in the excrement at depth of
a couple of feet. The old lady was
found at the base of a hay stack
and had been completely covered with
hay, which so conformed to the outline
of the hill that some searching was in
stituted before the discovery was made.
There is not the slightest doubt that
both were murdered. Eighteen head Of
cattle belonging on the farm were
driven away. Frank Offitt and Jerry
Dee, two employees in South Omaha,
have been arrested charged with the
murder. 1t is found that they sold the
stock cattle to South Omaha commits
