Gently, according to the Buffalo Courier.
Two politicians of the Chautauqua
county variety were in the waiting room

A-What do you think of c. for

Bile would make a mighty poor
sheriff. In the first place. he is so igno-

and he is so poor business man that he
has failed in everything that he has ever
undertaken, and you agree with me,

ing his paper stated that lie believed
the improved spring-rail frog to be the
coming one. Several of the members
agreed with him, but few thought other
forms of construction to be fully as
good. The discussion of this subject
was continued until $50, when adjourn
ment was taken to the Windsor hotel,
where an hour was passed at supper,

ARE FREE PASSES LEGAL?
Attorney General Miller Will Try
to Find Out

W Oul.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-AttOrney Gen
eral Miller has determined to test the
right of railways TO issue free passes.
The question to be decided is whether
the issue of such passes is a violation of
the interstate commerce law. He will
shortly bring suit against one of the
New England railroads known to have
issued passes, probably the Boston 81
Maine road. The suit will be in
stituted in New Hampshire, and
special attorney will be APP
pointed to conduct the case. Tho gov
eminent is eager to obtain a judicial
construction of the act upon this point,
and the issue hangs upon the question
of whether or not there is a prohibition
against passes included i'll the clause
providing that no rates shall be given
either more or less than the fixed sched-
ule of the road. In many cases roads
Issue passes and contend that there is
no legal restriction upon such action,
and it will be one of these roads against
which the suit will be brought, SO that
the question will not be one of fact but
of law, thus simplifying the proceed
ingS.

retary of State has received through the

telegram from Marquis Salisbury: " The
Queen desires to express her sorrow and
regret at the news which has just reached
this country of Lowells DEATH" Sir
Julian Pauncefote requested that this tele-

AGAINST GERMANY.
RuSSia'S Rye Ukase Considered a Political
Move.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The Times corre-
spondent at St. Petersburg says: In GER
tain well-informed circles here it Is
maintained the harvests are in no way as
bad as pretended. The rye crop is not
small enough TO warrant prohibition. The
ukase is rather considered a political move
against Germany and Austria. The Trieste
failure and the Russian ukase have, to-
gether, depressed most of the international
stock. There is indication of an appre-
hensive feeling on the stock exchange, and
even American securities yesterday failed
TO attract the attention of buyers. The
Russian ukase caused hardening process
in cereals in Liverpool.
WHAT IS THOUGHT IN BERLIN.
BERLIN. Aug. 13.-It was first believed
that the Russian ukase was directed against
Germany, but the Government now appears
10 be convinced that 1t was prompted by an
economic motive. The German imports of
rye in the last decade amounted only to
about oUe-sIXth of her own produce, but
the failure of the German crop this wear
makes the situation more serious. The
Ia test statistics, however, leave ground for
The hOi Of the harvest to be better than
expected. Reports of rise in the price of
rye IN Poland caused q further rise of !
mark here to-day, but toward the close the
price rec ded . marks Wheat advanced
81 marks on unfavorable reports from
New 1OTk.
BERLIN, Aug. IS. - Tie Cabinet meets
Saturday to discuss the means to minimize
the-ill effects of the Russian rye ukase on
the poorer classes, who are wholly DEPEND
ent upon rye for bread.
The ST. Petersburg correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette asserts that the special COM
mission appointed to investigate has re-
ported to the Governor that there is suf-
hcient rye stored to render the prohibition
Of the expectation suptrf1uous, that the dis
tress is overrated and the harvest not as
bad as alleged
The Kreuz Zeitung suggests that Germany
also prohibit the expectation OF rye.

ser, President of the Security and Memphis
City Bank, and Secretary of the Memphis
City Railway, principal owner of the Pub

and wealthy citizens of Memphis, was this
afternoon chloroformed and robbed at the

engaged room at the hotel, sent for Fray

regarding matter on which Morris asked

l have no money; my family in New Orleans
is destitute; must have cash you indorse a
check for S50OO."
Frayser argued the matter and the parties
finally compromised by Frayser indorsing a
check for $780, hoping the cashier at the
bank would suspect something wrong and
refuse to cash ii, as he indorsed it +. ID.

formed Frayser and sent a bell-boy to the

apolis Mills loss of 90 cents Last fail
Pillsbury was persistent bull and loaded
up with great quantity of grain at 81 10 TO
ST. 10 bushel. A good part of the year ne
has carried as high as 10000, 600 bushels. A
short time ago the Minneapolis syndicate
found itself with enough wheat to make
100000 barrels of -four right on the eve OF
the biggest wheat crop the United States
has ever seen and with the stuff worth about
80 cents bushel. Some of this wheat had
to be gotten out OF the way. hence this ship
ment of 20G0,00 bushels.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 13.-Mr. Plllsbury
was seen tonight. "The Duluth dispatch
is malicious falsehood," said he, evident
ly promulgated by some one deairng to do
injury to my business" He says the figures
are the grossest and widest eXaggeratlon,
both as to the cost and amount of wheat.
He purchased what wheat he required for
milling on the markets every week in the
year at an average cost below present
prices. The total requirements OF his mlils
are over IL. 1000. COO bushels per annum, if the
mills run uninterruptedly, and the purchases
have not been in excess of this amount. All
the millers in Minneapolis have not pur-
chased the amount stated in the dispatch
during the past year, and little wheat has
been purchased at the price named. The
great bulk has been bought below 81
bushel, which is about the present value OF
old wheat in Minneapolis.
