GRAIN RATES roo HIGH.

The Opinion of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the Subject. -
The interstate commerce commission has sent
20 the senate report upon the investigation
made by it under senate resolution directing
the commission 10 inquire into the truth of the
allegation that the long and short hsul clause Of
the interstate commerce act operated TO prevent
q reduction on the rates of transportation OF
food products from the Mississippi valley. The
report begins by synopsizing the testimony col
lected by the coulmiss ioner at Topeka, Kan;
lincoln and Omaha. Neb.: Sioux City,
Iowa; Peoria and Chicago. H.; Boston,
Mass; Baltimore, Newport News and
Washington. The substance of che testimony
has been printed from time to time The COM
mission discussed the reasonRbleness of COST, Of
freight transportation at great length and says.
THE rebates before the act, and the very much
lower rates frequently put in force since, fairly
lead TO the conclusion that existing corn and
grain rates are so high as to encourage frequent
and hurtful changes. snd TO make reductions
expedient and profitable TO the roads whenever
necessary to secure the business. We are con-
strained by all the facts to believe that any rate

An improved Running Board.

One of the latest improvements designed for
freight trains is a running board for the topof
trains, invented by Francis W. Pool and Thomas
N. Young of St. Paul, Mimi, and it will no
doubt receive the attention it merits from the
different railroads.
This running board has embodied in its con-
struction the essential elements of the desider
alum. viz: A continuous way from the engine to
the terminus of the train and an easy passage
from car to car, as the intermediate space is
reduced to its minimum, only leaving
sufficient space for the play of the
cars and drzwbars. There is also an intersect-
ing transverse running board SO that the con-
ductor or brakeman in switching can approach
the edge Of the car and stand in security when
signaling and directing the operations of switch
ing. The safety afforded by this running board
with its guardrails and skirting board can only
be fully estimated and appreciated by those who
have to follow their perious vocation, when its
dangers are augmented in the late fall, winter
ana early spring by the roof becoming slippery
from various climatic conditions.

The Missouri Pacific road and the Kansas rail-
road commissioners have locked horns at last,
the clash being precipitated by the road refusing
to place a first class passenger train on the Le-
roy and Caney Valley division of the system.
The order to do this was forced on the ground
that the towns through which this part of the
read runs had voted subscriptions to the road
with the understanding that frst-class passen-
ger service was to be given. The refusal to obey
the order to furnish such service is ased on the
ground that such service will not pay the road.
First Vice-Presldent and General Manager S.
H. H. Clark. in q letter to Secretary Elliott of
the railroad commission says: 1.-THE question
at issue is so vital TO this company that we
not consent to waive what we deem to be our
legal rights in the premises. II to be re-
quired to render unremunerative service un
der the conditioRs'existing in the present case,
we viii, in effect, be forced to submit to the
taxing Of our property without due compensa-
tion being paid therefor. In view of the pro-
visions OF the constitution of the United States
prohibiting the taking of property without
compensation, cannot think that the gov
ernor and state officers will. feel warranted in
attempting to enforce the order through the
courts. -
The board has referredthe matter to.Governor
Humphrey, and it is probable that the authority
of the board will be tested in the courts.

Heavy Stock Shipments.

The Santa Fe and Denver roads are oVerrun
with cattle shipments at present, and the
officials are at their wits end to devise some
means of moving the cattle fast as they are
offered for shipment The great difficulty has
been to secure cars, and a Santa Fe official
stated that his line could use fully 1000 more
engines from the Wyandotte road, and is
skirmishing about for more. Up to date the
Santa Fe has hauled nearly 200, 900 head out of
were shipped to Montana. The Fort Worth road
has shipped nearly as many. The roads did not
anticipate such heavy business, as many of the
cattlemen thought of driving their herds. This
plan was abandoned in many cases and the roads
were Unexpectedly called upon to haul the cat
tie Not one tenth as much stock was driven
over the trail this year last. and leading cat
tie owners predict that the last Of the big herds
have been seen on the trail.'

The McCalla INQUIRY.

NEW YORK, March 21.-In the McCalla
inquiry to-day, Chief Engineer Entuiste
testified regarding his suspension by Nc
Gala because he tested the boiler with salt
water instead of fresh. McCalla also told
his side of the story. Entuiste said to test
certain repairs. it was necessary to free
the boiler with salt water. He said Nc
Gala was very much excited when talking
of the matter and would not allow him,
Emusic, TO explain anything.
William Bennett testified that it was
customary and proper to test the boiler
with salt water before filling it with fresh
water.
Coal HEAVIER Hobbs told how one day, be-
cause the dirt on his shoe made a spot on
the deck Lieutenant IngersoQ caught him
by the neck, threw him down and had
buckets of water thrown over him
The judge advocate asked Lieutenant
Ingersol if he knew of any officers of the
Enterprise being Incorporate in the use of
liquor on cruises.
ingersoll said Messrs. Bennett and Davis
were suspended and punished at Tayal for
being under the influence of liquor. At
Vile Franche in February and at Lisbon
in December last, Lieutenant Lemly was
under the influence of liquor.
McCalla to-day refused to say anything
to the reporters regarding the story that
he, while executive officer of one of the
vessels of the South Atlantic squadron
several years ago, cut off sailors ear in a
moment of anger

The McAulife- Carroll Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-Tremendous
interest was taken in the contest tonight
between Jack McAuliffe and Jimmy Car
roll at the California Athletic club and fully
two thousand people were in attendance.
Owing to some rumors that the contest
was not to be a genuine one, President
F'ulda last night informed Carroll and Nc
Auliffe that if at any time during the con-
test there was any evidence of ''fooling,"
the fight would be stopped and the men
thrown out of the ring. Hiram Cook was
selected as referee. The betting tonight
was quite brisk and considerable money
was placed to | on McAul1ffe. Both men
were apparently in the pink of condition,
weighing: McAuliffe, 134115; Carroll, 1861
The men came into the ring at 9 10 and at
II Is thirty rounds had been fought with
no decided advantage, but slightly in Nc
Abilities favor In the twenty-ninth and
thirtieth McAuliffe pounded Carroll about
the neck and body until he staggered some
what.
The next few rounds were generally in Nc
Auliffe's favor, but both men displayed much
clevernesS.
In the thirty eighth Carroll commenced to
pound away at Macs face and Jaw. Carroll
reached his mark half a dozen times and Mac
was evidently becoming dazed. He struck out
weakly but Carroll would get away safely and
come with another jab in Macs face. Carroll
repeated this performance in the next round,
though with not such good effect.
The fortieth round was quiet.
In the forty Carroll gave McAulife an
ugly upper cut and then planted several more
hard ones on his nose and face, causing the
blood to flow freely and making McAuhffe stag
ger.
but still game McAuliffe won the fight in the
forty seventh round.

The Pension Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 21.- The House
went into committee of the whole on the
pension appropriation bill. Cheadle, of
Indiana, spoke at length in favor of SER
vice pension law. He explained the pro
visions of the bill authorizing a service
pension for life to every veteran over
fifty years of age who served sixty days
and was honorably discharged. Invalid
pensioners who receive less than IS a
month and all who receive no pension
would be beneficiaries under it.
At the conclusion of Cheadle's speech
Clements, of Georgia, said that after
listening to the speeches of gentlemen on
the other side, he was inclined to wonder
why Commissioner Tanner had been re-
quested to resign. The gentleman from
Kansas (Peters) had justified the action of
Tanner in putting upon the pension roles
these who rendered good service before
they left the army, without permission of
increasing the 81 rate and rerating pen
sions. Then why had Tanner been asked
to resign!
Morrow, of California, said the question
could be answered easily, but as the
answer would involve going into matters
in detail, ne would refrain from doing so
at present.
Clements said the employment of thirty
additional medical examiners and utilizing
the employees of the pension bureau, d
large increase in the amount of pensions
must result even under existing laws.
Clements inquired whether the sos, SOC, 600
carried by the bill would be sufficient for
the next fiscal year.
Morrow replied it would be sufficient to
pay all pensions under the present laws,
| but il Congress passed further laws in
creasing the number or rate of pensions
there would be deficiency.
| Clements did not oppose just and liberal
pensions; he was not going to vote against
the pending bill. His one objection to it
was it appropriated less money than the
administration knew would be necessary
to pay pensions for the next year.
| Bynum charged the Republican party
with being false to its promises to the
country in the matter of pensions. The
Democrats, he said, were determined the
Republicans should carry out their pledges
to the soldiers.
Cutcheon inquired whether the Demo
Gratis while in control of the House had
passed a service pension bill.
Bynum replied that they had not, but
they had not gone home and asked for votes
under false pretenses.
| Spinola said the Democrats intended to
draw the line of battle on service pension
| bill. The Democrats did not intend the
| Republicans should pass themselves as the
special friends of veterans. The Demo
cratic partyhad forced the pension rolls from
SOS, 600 up to Sl00,000,000, and yet the
Republicans went on the stump and told
the people they were the friends of the mer
who saved the union.
Enloe, of Tennessee, impressed upon the
House the necessity of thoroughly investi
eating the workings of the pension bureau
Allen. of Mississippi, said he did not
belittle the services of the federal soldiers
To do so would be to belittle his own. He
had been one of the men whom they hac
