RATE DISCRIMINATION.
Fort Worth, as Usual, Gets 1t in the


Fort Worth. as Usual Gets 1t in the
Neck
The Fort Worth moss collar, bagging and
cordage company has again resumed bust
ness and is endeavoring to put its bagging
and cotton ties on the Tl.,aS market. but a.
ths first dash out of the box is confronted
by an exorbitant tariff. They desired 10
place some of their goods on the Dallas
market and TO this end asked for q rate to
Dallas. They We're confronted with rate
of - cents per 100 pounds in carload lots,
minimum weight 10000 pounds. The tariff
oy the same article, under the same condi-
lions and in the same capacity cars, is q
cents from Galveston. In other words,
they are compelled TO pay 8 cents on Il p
hundred pounds more for q haul of only
thirty-three miles than for haul of $50
miles. Galveston can put bagglng and ties
into Dallas for 81 cents a hundred, thus
making discrimination of 3 cents hun
bred in favor of alveston as against Fort
Worth on Galveston business.
Railroad men say they have nothing to do
with these tariffs; that they are fixed by
the commission. In this event it seems
hardly credible that the commission could
or would Willingly or willfully make such a
bl .nder. The brewing company also find
many tariffs absolutely preclude them from
doing business in Western Texas, the rate
being far more favorable to st. Louis.
The rates in Texas are in a badly muddled
condition, each general freight agent max
ing the rates just to suit his own sweet will,
and as a result there seems only one course
open to the commission, and that is 30 make
new and equitably adjusted tariffs on al
classes and commodities from bone and
fertilizers to furniture, and from sawdust
to fresh fruit.
The season fer bagging and ties is near at
hand, and unless this rate is adjusted
speedily, it will prove ruinous to a Fort
Worth industry.

A Fast Run.

A man named Jones. cashier of the First
national bank at Vernon. came in on the
Denver Tuesday evening. He had received
a message that his wife, who was at Van
Alstyne, was dying. He inqui red the price of
a special train 10 Dallas and was informed
it would cost him s64. This amount ne paid
and at 6:25 left the Union depot on 4
special car CONSISTING of an engine
andcoach. The run to Dallas. thirty-three
and one-half miles, was made in fifty-two
minutes. The train was run to the Central
crossing, and he caught the train on that
road north to Van Alstyne. Superinten-
dent Thorne, who happened to be in the
city, rode over on the engine. Considering
the G AIDES and the crooked track, this time
is remarkably fast and possibly better than
any yet achieved in Texas.

ArMerrr War in Omaha.

OMAHA, NEB, July 2S.-The Union Pacific
road is taking measures TO prevent the

duty at the Council Bluffs transfer to guard
the approaches and keep out the trains Of
the St. Paul roads. 1t has also wrecked
four cars at South Omaha Junction in order
to keep the Rock Island out, and keeps an

The Katy's Refrigarators.

The Texas brewing company We're under
the necessity of securing more refrigerator
service, but found the demand was such the
refrigerator cars We're in constant use.
They were puzzled to know what to do and
the Katy wanted to accommodate them.
After some scheming the Katy secured four
refrigerator cars, which will be put at the
disposal of the brewery as soon as they
come from the shops. The first one is ex-
pected to arrive to-day. The cars were for
local shipments of beer and ice to points on
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas in Texas,
and these will be run on the Katy exclu-
slvely. This puts the brewery in good
shape as far as refrigerator car service is
concerned

This the opposing roads combat and ask
that the decree become effective instanter.
2. The Rock Island and Milwaukee ask
that their trains be permitted to use the
Union Pacific tracks under the rules and
regulations governing Union Pacific trains
until the Operating officers can agree on
joint rules.
The Union Pacific asks that the joint
rules be adopted first, as required by the
contract. This would delay matters thirty

A New Wheat Tariff.

The Fort Worth and Rio Grande, in con-
nection with the Santa Fe, has issued a
joint through tariff on wheat from STA
tons on its line to Galveston at the rateof
1715 cents per 100 pounds in carload
lots. The rate formerly effective was 90
and as rates to intermediate points cannot
be higher this causes reduction in wheat
tariff of q cents between all stations
south of Fort Worth and Galveston. This
also will probably mean corresponding re-
duction in the Santa Fe local tariff on the
same commodity

TOLEDO, ONO, July 27.-Tremont is city
of 10, Geo inhabitants in Northwestern Ohio,
and tonight it is without water supply. At
this season of the year the city's
supply is derived principally from the
river. A special to the Commercial says
that the water privileges belong to man
named June, under IN old lease from the
United States government, and he has been
trying to sell this for $4,000. There
has been some delay in closing negotiations
and in order to compel the city to accept his
terms he has torn away part of his dam,
running the river dry. There is con-
sequently no fire protection, families
are suffering, and factories and newspaper
offices are compelled to shut down for want
of power. The council has ordered
the dam TO be rebuilt, but It
has not been complied with.
The indignant citizens threatened to take
the matter in their own hands, rebuild the
dam and maintain it by force if necessary.

THE WESTERNERS GO WILD.
FREE COINAGE Is APPROVED ALMOST
UNANIMOUSLY

By the Delegates to the Mining Congress-
for the White Metal-Senator Stewart
Makes q Denial.
DENVER, Nov. 20.-At the closing session
of the Miners Congress the Committee on
Resolutions was the first to report r. c.
Powers of Arizona, an avowed advocate of
free coinage, occupied an hour in discussing
the use of silver from the earliest days of
the worlds history to the present time.
Senator Stewart arose and announced that
he did not own share of Comstock stock,
thus refuting an old allegation. Judge
Harley Morse, of Colorado, spoke for 20
minutes in favor of free coinage.
Judge Goodwin, of Utah, said he did not
believe the Lower House of Congress would
pass free coinage bill this winter unless
with hope that the President would veto
it. He then moved that the rules be sus-
pended and the resolution for free coinage
of silver be passed by acclamation. Sena-
tor Stewart, before the question was put,
said: ''The time for action has come / am
anxious that the voice of Colorado be now
heard"
The roll of States was called with follow
ing results: For the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, 4S1 votes; against, votes
When the State of Connecticut was reached
great enthusiasm was manifested by dele
cation from that State arising and saying
they came there to learn. When he an
nounced the entire vote in favor of the
resolution, the most intense enthusiasm was
manifested. The delegates arose and for
fully three minutes pandemonium reigned.
When vote of Canada and Russia was an
nounced in favor of the resolution, there
was another scence of confusion. When the
total vote was declared there was a scene of
indescribsble excitement

ST0NING DEAD BODIES.
Horrible Treatment Accorded the
Corpses of Generals by
THE VICT0RS AT VIVA DEL MAR.
San Francisco Sailors, as Well as Baltimore
Men, Attacked.
INSTANCES OF THE CHILEAN HATRED

SAN Francisco, Nov. 20.-An officer Of
the cruiser San Francisco, speaking OF the
scenes after the battle of Vina del Mar,
were allowed to lie uncared for where they
fell for nearly week. Finally, after the
revelry in Valparaiso had partially sub
sided. the two corpses were picked up,
placed on a rude four-wheeled carryall and
dragged through the streets of Valparaiso,
being spit upon and stoned by the infuri-
ated mob. Itwss terrible sight to see two
bodies stiff in death, the arm Of one of them
stretched out almost upright, being treated
in such hideously uncivilized manner"
Another officer, in speaking Of the attack
on Vina del Mar by the Congressionallst
forces. stated that the torpedo gunboat AL
mirante Lynch was lying close BY Valpar
raiso directly ahead of the San Francisco.
The Lynch steamed ahead as close to the
fire on the Congressionalists with her
Hotchkiss rapid-fre machine guns. She
had not been firing very long when she low
cred her flag to half-mast and steamed in
around the San Francisco and the Balti-
more, back to her original anchorage. 1t was
afterward learned that the Hotchkiss gun
had exploded, killing Lieutenant and
severely wounding half dozen other men.
That was the reason she retired from the
fight
The officers say that Chilean hatred
toward the American seamen was mani
tested on the streets of Valparaiso whenever
the men went ashore. The Baltimore's men
were not the only ones attacked, for one of
the San Francisco's men, q young man named
Monahan, was stabbed in the back and suf-
fered from the effects of the wound for
weeks. There was one place near the dock
which the American seamen used as a
rendezvous. When the Chilean fleet came
in the proprietor of the house was afraid to
allow the American sailors to enter his
place. One of the men did so, however,
and after some little trouble he and his two
companions, who remained outside, had to
leave and in the rush Monahan was stabbed
in the back
