RAILWAY RACKET.

KANSAS CITY, No, July 1S.- The
| Chicago and Alton announced today a
rate of S17.75 from Kansas City to Detroit
and return, for the Grand Army encamD-
ment, tickets TO be sold july 81 to August
3 inclusive. IN addition TO the rate to De
troit the Alton also announced that it
would. on the same dates, for the accom-
mediation of the general public, sell
tickets from Kansas City to Chicago and
| return for 80. A bombshell was thrown
into the boycotter's camp when the Alton
announced that it would run through
trains to Detroit. The opinion has very
generally prevailed that the Chicago and
Alton was without Detroit connection,
but it developed that the Wabash has
agreed to accept the Alton tickets and
baggage and handle cars for Grand Army
business.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 1S.-The wholesale
grocers Of Wichita Arkansas City, Nc
Pherson and other points have filed a COM
plant with the state board Of railroad
commissioners, requesting them to deter
mine what are fair rates in Kansas, as the
railroads have raised their rates to such
an extent that the grocerS cannot continue
to do business unless they are reduced.
CHICAGO, July 18-The roads in the
Western Passenger association are show
ing good deal of uneasineSs in couse-
quence of The Atoms independents action
in regard to Grand Army rates One of
the southwestern lines has declared its in
tentlon of meeting the rates made by the
Alton. 1t does not follow that the Alton
will make further reduction, although
1t will doubtless do so when it finds that
1t cannot otherwise secure W hat it believes
to be its legitimate share of the Grand
Army business. In any case, the result
will it is believed, be decentralization of
passenger rates IL the territory west of
Chicago.
The Transcontinental association has
notified the worlds fair people that the
railroads west Of the Missouri river Will
carry free, returning, all goods exhibited
At the exposition that have been paid for
at full tariff rates going to Chicago, pro-
vlded they are returned over the same
road that transported them to the fair.
The Western Traffic association, the Cen
trail Traffic, the Trunk line and the New
England association have all taken similar
action.

Henry II. Yard, charged with contempt of
court IN not appearing before the city
councils committee investigation com
mittee was again before the common
pleas court today, but was not disposed
Of. The decision Of the case depends upon

eide whether or hot the writ of certiorari
was intended as a supersedas by the su-
preme court by whom it was issued. In

THE cOROAcr cOMR,NF.

Boston, July 16.-The National Cordage
company has attached the property of the
Suffolk Cordage company, the Pearson
Cordage company, and the New Bedford
Cordage company. This action is the re-
suit Of controversy in regard to claims
growing out of the breaking of contracts.
The National Cordage company severed
these contracts last November and was
sued by the above concerns for heavy dam
ages. When the Elizabethport works
burned the Pearson Cordage Mills at

AMERICAN PORK

PARIS, July 1S.-The decree resembling
the prohibition on American pork, which
takes immediate effect, simply enacts that
the duty on American salt pork, hams and
bacon, which paid 81 francs before the
prohibition, will now be 20 francs per 100
kilos. The immediate application of the
decree is due TO the persistent pressure
brought to bear upon Minister of Foreign
Affairs Ribot by United States Minister
Reid. NJ. Ribot wished to delay, but, his
introduced in the chamber. Only one
member opposed the measure, mainly
through fear of trichinosis. NJ. Jourde,
replying, treated trichinosis as an old
legend, unworthy of regard as applied to
American pork. The decree was then

MAcnONn DIS MONIIMENr

TORONTO, July 1S-In response to a re-
quest for cooperation in New York for
promoting national monument to be
erected in Canada to Sir John Macdonald
Erastus Wiman has written to friend in
Toronto In the following terms: There
is no monument needed to perpetuate the
memory of Sir John Macdonald so long as
the great barrier exists which his national
policy has created between the English
speaking people of both countries. This
barrier, the work of man, as completely
separates the two sections of the Anglo
Saxon race in this great field of opportu-
nifty as If by the hand of God they were
divided by high mountain, a wide desert
or q deep morass 1000 miles long. So far
as trade is concerned, the existence of
prosperity in Canada, occupying one-half
of the continent is more dependent on free
access to the other half, than upon all
other circumstances combined, yet the
chief result OF the policy Of the departed
statesman has been the creation of a wall
over which many of the commonest neces-
sites Of life can only be exchanged By pay
ing tribute to either government, often
beyond the cost of production.
The result is that millions Of acres of
timber land are burning and rotting to an
extent even greater than consumption for
want OF a market in the United States,
where the standing timber today is less
per head than III Germany; thousands Of
miles OF fishing coasts are unoccupied and
wasting because OF the need of a free mar
ket: mineral wealth unequalled in the
world is silent and dormant and dead be-
cause OF the want OF access 10 the great
country next door; agricultural areas OF
the broadest and richest character remain
untouched and unproductive while even
now in the United States, with an immi-
grafton and increase Of population unpsr-
alleIed, a land hunger exists OF the keen
est character and which csnDot be ap-
pessed under existing conditions. Sixty
millions Of dollars expended in Canadian
canals with less than sixty craft TO navi-
gate them and depending upon United
States tonnage for maintenance, even in
the face Of a discrimination against Amer
ican craft, is an indication OF the policy
pursued" J."
