Yields Cnd er Protest.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Apparently the
situation i'll Chill continues to engross the
attention of the president and secretary OF
state. Acting Secretary Wharton called at
the White House soon after breakfast this
morning and talked with the president I'M
til the cabinet meeting about 10 O'Clock.
Returning to the department Of state he
found cablegram from Minister Egan in
response to one sent him yesterday asking
for further information as to the situation.
This dispatch was in cipher and had to be
unraveled. Mr.. Wharton and John W.
Foster discussed its contents, which, how
ever, they did not feel at liberty to make
public.
1t is known that the acute phase of the
situation has been passed and that no seri-
Gus trouble is anticipated. Minister Egan
has maintained the dignity of his legation
and the refugees remain under his protec-
ton, but il is believed that this has been
achieved through the action of the junta
in yielding under protest to the pressure
brought to bear by this government, while
insisting upon its right to arrest political
refugees, if not actually within the pre-
cincts of the legation, at least il its shadow.
The contention reviveS an old and yeXed
question of international law, which itself
is by no means an exact science, and the
president, with his advisers, are scanning
precedentS in our diplomatic history, re-
solved that Minister Egan shall be sup
ported in every legitimate manner, yet de-
sirous of making no demands that cannot be
justly maintained.

The Mckinley Idee.

Judge E ]. Blandin of Cleveland, who
wrote a remarkably strong letter, showing
the tariff to be an obstruction to trade, was
at Wizards to-day. He said he had seen
the reply from Gen. Grosveuor, now in
Nuremburg. in which he says:

We're brought to the Emergency hospital.
The bones of Professor Spence's face
were broken, his shoulder bone crushed

are unable to state whether his injuries
will prove fatal. Mrs. Spences injuries,

LONDON, Sept. 29.--A circular is issued
by the minister of the interior of ftRssia
which enumerates thirteen governments
in which the people are completely fnniuG-
stricken, and eight in which partial famina
prevails. The great fair which is annually
held at Mini Novgorod, and which "a
supported by merchants and dealers from
all parts of Russia, was failure this year.
This was due to the enormous number OF
bankrupts and their consequent with
drawal from trade. In many villages the
peasants have nailed up their huts and Left
to scour the country in search Of work.
Hundreds of them have failed in their
search ana are begging along the roadsides.
In numbers of cases the seed corn which
was furnished the peasants by the govern
mert has been eaten instead of being
planted, and land is lying idle.
Notwithstanding the terrible condition
of the peasantry,. taxes continue TO be eX-
torted from the starving people. Every
thing is taken from them 20 satisfy the
demands of the tax gatherers. Where
peasants display any unwillingneSs
to pay over their taxes, the collectors resort
to physical means to eXtort money from
them. The knout is extensively employed
by officials OF the tax-collecting department
of Russia.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN. TEX, Sept. 29.-Several brick
and tile manufacturers from Gonzales, liar
risburg and Houston discussed the proposed
brick tariff with the commission to-day.
The talk developed a striking discrepancy
between the stories told by the .nanu-
lecturers aforesaid and the freight agents.
The former assured the coHllgission that
they shipped their brick urdsrspecial rates,
which We're very much less than the rates
published by the railroacs, and had been
doing so for four or fife years. For eX-
ample, from Harrisburg to Houston, dis
lance of five miles, the published rate is
S1.25 per 1000. The specialis only 90 cents
TO Galveston over the International and
Great Northern, a distance of fifty miles.
Above 3,00O,0O0 brick are shipped annually
to Houston and Galveston, each.
Special rates are given Gonzales prick
makers who ship to neighbOring points i'll
about the same proportion as enjoyed by
Harrisburg These shippers claim that
they have never been asked to pay higher
rates, because the business would not stand
it. A number of letters We're received from
the general freight agents protesting
against any reduction from their published
rates. and stating that they were satisfac-
tory to shippers, etc. There is no doubt
about their being satisfactory, as shippers
say they are never required to pay them.
If the roads had made all their rates las
satisfactory as those on brick there would
be no use for commission. The two
stories are plainly contradictory, with the
usual consequence. Proofs of the special
rates are on file with the commission. The
brick men proposed a rate that would be
satisfactory to them 1t is this: Five
miles and under, 80 cents; ten and over five
miles, 60 cents; twenty and over ten, 40
cents; thirty and over twenty, so cents;
forty and over thirty, 90 cents; fifty and
over forty, 81: sixty and over fifty. sl.25:
100 miles. 81 reaching maximum of s.. 80
for 400 miles and over. This tariff is signed
by the Sennett brick and tile company of
Gonzales, T j. Howard, president: the
Harrisburg brick works, by John Todd,
secretary; Coglan Bros. brick company, BY
J. H. MILKY.
The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass was

s: to the same rate on brick of Sl.35 per
1000 from Giddings to Lexington, effective

An amendment to commodity tariff No.

Union Pacific's Burdens.


special 10 lNe IdZctJc.
WASHINGTON, Sept 29-The government
directors of the Union Pacific railroad have
made their report, and, after showing what
great burdens are placed upon the sub
sidized roads, they say that no one can
come into close knowledge of the Union
Pacific railway system without being i'm
pressed with the necessity for relief from
the exactions and limitations enforced by
law. In conclusion, the commissioners
say: "A policy should, in our judgment,
prompt the government as Il creditor to
make such provisions as TO time and date
of payment of the principal and the rate of
interest to be paid as may be within the
ability of the company to meet, and just and
equitable under all circumstances. The
gentlemen who compose this commission
are all of high standing and familiar with
the work. They know the conditions ex-
isting and what they have to say should
be given due weight and consideration.
