The traffic has increased so rapidly that
the accomm odations are taxed to the ut
most. 1t is a regular thing to sell 200 900
tickets to Vienna on holiday to people
who wish to 20 into the country to spend
the day.
The experiments made in Austria and
Hungary serve to throw into q still
clearer light the eXorbitant rates de-
manded by our American railways for
passenger service. The interest Of all
railways as well as of the public, de-
mands a great reduction in rates. The
railway managers must apply to their
business also the principle OF small profits
and large sales. How great an oppor-
tunity there is for u development of this
sort can be seen when one considers that
England has twenty-five railroad pas
sengers per year per capita of the poDu-
lation, while the United States has only
five. 1t is TO be hoped that our general
passenger agents will study these facts
and bs influenced By them.

The Southwestern Association.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 14.-At the
meeting of the Southwestern railway and
steamship association to-day the COM
mittee appointed to adjust rates on ore
from the Rio Grande crossing to St Louis,
Omaha, etc. reported in favor of basis
of thirty-tve cents per 100. The report
was adopted.
considerable portion of the day WAS
devoted to discussion of rates on lines,
potatoes, packing house products, etc. +,
but with no definite results. Much of
the discussion related TO the authorized
basis applicable to the traffic of the asso-
citation, it being desired to formulate so
far as possible record for use of the new
organization in lieu of the application of
records OF the previous one. This work
involved more or less detail but conte en-
plated no change in the rates at present
existing, it merely being a review of the
present condition and establishment
under the new association.
Adjourned until Tomorrow.

United States. Something over eigh-
teen months age, during period of
great depression OF the three great
banking houses of Messrs. Drexel, Nor
gan s. Co., Messrs. Kidder, Peabody &
Co. and Messrs. Brown Bros, invited
the presidents of these roads to meet at

called ''presidents agreement. / es-
innate the total number OF tons moved
one mile annually by this group of roads
TO be l6 900 900 900. The auditor of one
Of these roads has furnished me q
statement showing the difference
between rates under presidents agree
ment' and present rates, which amounts
10 decrease of 40 mills per ton per
mile. Applying this difference of 4-l0
miIls to 10 900 900, 600 gross annual tons
one mile, gives the startling figure of
S22 400, 900. Annual decrease in net
earnings of this system of roads betw cen

hoped that bankers can be induced to

Special TO the Gazette.
HALLETTsvILLE, TEX. Nov. H.-Late
yesterday evening Chester f. Woodville
was arrested by Sheriff Hutchins of our
city and is now in the county Jail await
ing the result of a fight for his possession
between San Antonio and Houston.
Woodville was advertising solicitor for
the Texas Tribune, and a few days ago
went into the establishment of the Chi
cago watch and jewelry company
of Houston and representing him
self as manager of the Tribune,
purchased, goods and gave in payment
two bogus checks, one for $40 and one
for S42 so, on the Houston National
bank. MIR. B. F. jackson OF the jew
elry firm came in on the noon train with
a warrant for N'oodville's arrest, and a
telegram from San Antouio says that
the crook is wanted there for several sim
liar transactions. and the question is now
which will get him. Woodville is cool
and collected. He denies his identity.
He wears broadcloth suit and silk
plush stovepipe hat, and has the appear
ance of retired banker. His pale,
aristocratic features form striking con-
trast with the gloomy surroundings IN
the prison.

II he had had with him such cautious friend on
Wednesday evening. In the mad rush for front
seats which followed the opening Of the gallery
doors OF the Thalis theater in the Bowery Mr.
Blumensohn led the van. Dashing wildly
down the gallery aisle he heard, alas! no
warning voice, nor could he check HIM

straight on over the railing down into the Or

leg he smashed two orchestra chairs, and in
stead Of witnessing the performance he had to
submit to being ignominously carted away in an
ambulance to the hospital. The question has
not yet been decided whether Mr. Blumensohn
will demand the return Of his twenty five cents

ance, or whether the proprietor will demand
one dollar aud seventy-five cents additional for
the occupancy of two orchestr chairs.

Cant. Healy Exonerated,

The report of the special comm ittee ap-
pointed by Secretary Window to investigate
the charges of cruelty and intoxication made
against Capt. NJ. A. Healy. commander Of the
revenue steamer Bear, has been received at the
Treasury Department The committee find
that the conduct Of Capt. Healy in Furnishing
the three seamen from the bark Es.ella was
justifabls under the circumstances, the evil
dence showing that they were mutinous and
insubordinate, and that Capt Heaiy punished
them only after every other effort TO restore
order had failed In regard to the '.tricing
up" of several Of the crew of the bark wanderer
the committee report that the evidence showed
that the men were mutinous; that the vessel
was in an exposed condition; that all reasonable
efforts were used to persuade the men to re-
sumo their duties and that they refused to do
so; that there we're no courts or peace officers
within reach, and that, therefore, the punish
ment Of the crew as last resort to suppress
the mutiny was justiHabie. The committee find
the charge Of drunkenness wholly unsustained.

ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Reports For and Against the Proposed
Investigating Commission.

Representative j. ID. Taylor. from the COM
mittee on alcoholic liquor traffic, yesterday
reported to the House the bill agreed upon by
that committee providing for the appointment
Of an alcoholic liquor traffic commission The
report of the committee says that a large por-
ton of the people have for long time desired
an honest. intelligent impartial and thorough
investigation Of the liquor traffic in all its
phases. Reference is made to inquiries by
similar commissions in England which have
had remarkable results aud warrant further
investigations. Reports from domestic sources
indicate that the liquor traffic causes four
fifths Of all the crimes committed, wastes one
half Of taxation, causes the expenditure of
$500 ,0000 900 year in drink, incapacitates
mentally and physically half million people
for labor and business causes three-fourths of
the pauperism of the country, is responsible
for the fearful increase i'll insanity and imbe-
cilIty and does no good to anybody. On the
other hand, these statements are denied and
pronounced to be the Authorizations of a dis
eased brain. Therefore, says the report let
us have an investigation and let the world
know the truth or faisity of these assertions.
THE MINORITY REPORT.
Representative Quinn (N.Y.) presented mi
nOrity report in opposition to the bill He says
that under the terms of the bill, while the COM
missioners shall not belong to the same politi-
cal party, they may all be prohibitionists. The
majority cOncede that Congress has no power
to regulate the liquor traffic in the states, and
1t is therefore a novel proposition that it shall
investigate a subject without possessing the
power to carry out by legislation the recon-
mendations made by the commission. Mr..
Quinn maintains that there is no in
formation on the subject that has not
already been published, no argument
thereto lpe
already made. 1t has been agitated and dis
cussed for forty years by the people and it is an
insult to their ability and intelligence to say
that they are not informed upon this subject
and that this commission can in two years give
them what they do not already know. In con-
ciusion Mr.. Quinn says that undoubtedly the bill
Is one of those numerous measures originating
outside of Congress under the pretense of some
gleat public benefit, the real purpose of which
is personal advancement and selfish interest
The bill is intended to infringe upon the rights
of the people and is un-American in its charac-
ter.

An Easter Carol.
Chime cheerily, ye Easter bells,
With rapturous rhythm ringl
In every tone an anthem swells,
The peal the wondrous story tells
OF mans arisen King.
There Is a glory In this morn
Beyond all other days
The cerements of the grave are torn,
The dead to endless life are born
Amid resounding praise.
As One immortal thus arose,
Most human yet divine,
So fees the darkest Of our foes,
So falls the burden OF our woes,
Brothers, both yours and mine.
Look upward from these finite bands
That chain US TO the earth!
Man has the help Of angel hands
To lift him TO celestial lands
And greet the spirits birth.
Joyous the hymn the season sings
Of hope and life and love,
That sOlace to the longing brings
Who wait to soar on seraph's wings
Through faith to realms above.
He is the Way, tho Truth, the Life,
The souls all-saving leaven:
Turn from the cares Of worldly strife,
The ills with which our days are rife,
Unto Our Friend in heaven!
Chime merrily, ye Easter bells,
With rapturous rhythm ring.
In every tone an anthem sweiis,
The peal the glorious story tells
OF earth's eternal King.
