MORE ABOUT GRAIN STORAGE.

In writing on the question of rebilling
Kansas grains at Kansas City in yester-
day mornings EAGLE, whereby the grain
of southwest Kansas destined for the
south is forced through the markets and
elevators at Kansas City. being first hauled
from two To three hundred miles for that
purpose and then hauled back, we stated
that Kansas City last year shipped 10000
car loads TO Texas and the south. The
proof reader got it 1900 car loads. which
made nonsense of our sums total. From
a prominent grain dealer of southern Kan
sas not only, nut from the admission
of the Times. we Obtained the figures of
twenty thousand car loads. or twelve mill
ion bushels. OF course this is but a frac-
ton of the grain raised in south Kansas.
but the aggregate taken from this amount
of grain in the way of commissions. and
by deductions in cleaningS. which should
never go TO the Missouri at all but from
Wichita directly south TO its destination.
amounts in the aggregate to an immense
sum annually. At least the bulk of this
twenty thousand lOsds would never go to
the Missouri river and be hauled back
again if Wichita had her proper storage
facilities and inspection or grading author
ity, in which event the railroads would
not only save long haul. for
which they receive nothing, but the
home dealer being relieved of REGULATION
and extortion, would pay the producer a
better price for his grain. In short, the
more this grain elevator and grain storage
is looked into, the more i'm
portant it becomes TO not only Wichita.
but TO every grain producer and grain
deaer in South Kansas. For the savings
on the eleven million bushels OF grain
raised in Sedgwick county last year. the
farmers could have themselves built a
million bushel elevator and had one or
two hundred thousand dollars surplus

THREATENED wIrH A CONTEMPLATION.

The Wichita Gas, Electric Light and
! Power company have not as yet accepted
/ the per cent stab at a contract for all
| night arc light street service as revamped
and twisted by the council some weeks
ago. The matter has been hanging fire
/ eighteen months The Citizens company
in the days OF Russell slipped through
very nicely at an elevated price ds com
/ pared with other propositions and give an
all-night light to a part of the city. A
half night light to the other part without
any distinction on the tax rolls, immedi-
ately brought up the trouble, and 1t has
never been settled. Finally the Thomp
son-Houston agreed to charge as much
for the light as the Citizens contract
called for, and presented contract very
nearly a duplicate The Citizens company
were allowed 10 per cent on bills over due
and the same was in the proposed contract
rs submitted by the Thompson-Houston.
They have always shown little interest in
the matter apparently, simply being
represented by cold writing and it Is
thought would never have reached hook
even had not the property owners getting
scooped on light objected. But the cold
epistles have always appeared to be re-
voting, and now the directory of the com
pany are considering the amendments
proposed. 1t is understood that they are
not in very big hurry, and not over
forty-two capitalists of St. Louis will

The president of the company, Mr.. Scott
is expected here about the middle of the
month on a regular business trip, looking
after the plant He does most of his bust
ness in writing and is very much averse to
any hobnobbing about per cents with any
one. 1t is thought while here he may
send to the council by mail the action of
the directory in the persistent pull-back
about all night service in certain parts of
the city.

DENOUNCES STANLEY
Herbert Ward Says the Explorer
Can Not Be Held Guiitiess-
THOUGH A VERY fAR-SIGHTED nan
Nj a.,,a.la, Wa the Embodiment Of
Loyalty 10 His superi@r-stahieJ
Must Answer for the serious
Mistakes Made.

loSpoS, Nov. l9.-Herbert Ward
writes 10 the Times IS follows: "with
every desire to be loyal to Mr.. Stanley,
/. j. impossible for me longer 10 remain
silent. Mr.. Stanley has raised all the
side issues OF the jameson -Barttelot
stories and other matters IN order to
eyade the main controversy. He may
or may notbe scrupulous man, but he
is undoubtedly bold and far-seeIng
one. 1t would appear that in charging
the rear guard officer with irresoluuon
and disregard OF instructions, he feared
he might have 10 answer charge for
which lac WAS responsible, so he collect
ed all the uttle-tattleo OF tale-bearers and
attacked MS snbordInates.
After stating that Stanley's column
was not above reproach and that he
himself had buried dead men Stanley
left on the road, Mr.. Ward asks why
Stanley left inexperienced officers IN
charge of the rear, knowing that they
could only carry out his orders and
drive the lOad-bearers with greatest
severity? Why he appointed Barttelot,
whom ne dlsllked as much as BarttelOt
dishked HIM and whom he knew was
unsuitable for the work, to a posi-
ton of momentous responsibility at the
supreme crisis of the expedition? What
mus be thought of Stanley turning
back on Yambuya, assuring Barttelot
he had made wise choice and select
ing him to guard the interests OF the
expedition during MS absence?
Mr. Ward declares that with all his
acknowledged faults, Major Barttelot,
with splendid loyalty TO the best tradi-
tons of his service, held sacred every
instruction of Stanley 10 the last. In
the face of starvation he refused to
open the stores Stanley warned hlm
we're essential TO the success or the ex-
peditiOn. Yet Stanley accused hIm OF
dIslOyalty.
Saws Mr.. Ward: "There was no rea-
son for refusing us food and medicine,
but his stolid sense of discipline. To
have taken the law in our own hands
would assuredly have led to bloodshed.
Stanley must take a portion of the
blame. By his example on the march
up, he Initiated among the members of
MS staff the feeling of indifference to
human suffering, and among the load
bearers fatahstlc acceptance of their
.ot as mere beasts of burden. By ap-
pointing Barttelot under the circUm-
stances he deliberately risked disaster,
by vague instructions. He placed Bart
telOt IN position of bewilderng alter
natives. BY an alleged agreement with
Tippoo Tlb he put Barttelot more or
less at the Arabs mercy. and left him
abandoned. By publishing the affida-
Wits of negro valet ne dement's dead
men. He can answer for himself
whether be should not bear some of
the responsibility for the disasters which
befell the rear guard.
