Status of Joint Rates.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Feb. lO-[Specal Tele-
gram to The BEE. The railway commits
sion awaits legal instructions concerning the
status of the joint rate question, pending an
appeal to the United States supreme court by
the railway company. 1t is question as to
what is expected of the railroad company in
regard to en- forcing the joint rate provided an
appeal is taken to the higher court. If the
rate is now enforced and the decision is re-
verscd by the supreme court of the United
States, the company will have cause Of action
for damage against the state. If, on the other
hand, the decision is affirmed in after years
tho intention of the law will have been al
ready defeated. In an interview with a
prominent lawyer he said that the remedy
of the company, however was in a United
States court, where petition could be filed
fora stay of proceedings, pending the ap-
peal. Unless such action is t2kenth joint
rate law is now in force in the state and the
railroad companies are subject to penalties
for not adopting the rates.

A Smooth Move.

THE BEE, Chairman N1idgely of the south
western division of the Western Freight as
sociation was today elected chairman of all
divisions, superceding Acting Chairman
Osgood. This the smoothest move yet made
by the Western Traffic association. Not a
solitary change except in name is necessary
to make this association the lake division of
the Western Traffic association, If all the
members were willing. The Alton and Kan
sas City roads at present block the plan, rs
they absolutely refuse to join the Western
Traffic association. This move is the first
one towards actually putting the Western
Traffic association into operation. Said
Chairman Walker:
'As fast as possible, without friction, we
will put the Western Traffic association into
full operation. The election of Mr. Midgley
is part of this plan. 1t is better to make
haste slowly and with the concurrence of all
interes ted lines.n
There were many expressions of regret that
Acting Chairman Osgood should have been
deposed, the traffic men, especially in the
Western Freight association, considering HIM
an able successor to Chairman Faithorn The
order for the change, however, comes from

ILLEGAL COURT PRA CTICEs.
A Bad State of Affairs Shown i'm Some
of Them,

WASHINGTON Feb 10. The sub com mittee
of the house committee on judiciary, which
spent some time last session investigating
charges of illegal practices in the federal
courts in various parts Of the country,
submitted lengthy report to the full COM
mittee today. The report tells of gen.
eral suspension Of sentences pro-
nounced, principally in the dis
ricts of West Virginia and northern
G eorgia and IN the Northern, Middle and
Southern districts of Alabama, thus encour-
aging the methods of fee making practices
by United States district attorneys, mar
shals, etc. The evidence shows, says the re-
port that in some parts of the country men
are induced by deputy marshas and United
States commissioners to make complaints
against each other for violation of the inter
nal revenue and timber laws, are arrested
by deputy marShals and brought before
the commissioners, where, after hearing,
they are bound over to the court after be.
coming bail for each other and appearing be-
fore the court as defendants witness and
bailee. A large number Of witnesses are
summoned in every case, the federal officers
charging for every petty service, increasing
the mileage by unnecessary trips, pccketiug
the allowances intended for witnesses and
others. The United States commissioners by
these means secure an annual income rang
Hallett of Boston, Mass, is criticised for OBJ
tanning fees by practices such as these. Re-
port says that most of these prosecutions are
frivolous, and if prosecuted in the courts
would be frowned on. The port views in
detail the illegal practices existing elsewhere
than in Boston, and recommends the substi-
tuition Of salaries for fees as the only means
of putting an end to corruptions of
the fee system. The practice pre-
vailing in Boston Of allowing court clerks
and deputies 10 naturallze foreigners, charg-
ing fee ranging from 81 to 81 for each step
of the process, is condemned in strong terms.
The subcommittee recommends legislation
for other phases of the evil and also the dis

cult court commissioner of the Northern

Bruce of the Northern and Middle districts
of Alabama, it says that Judge Bruce is too

Treated as a Canard.

PIERRE, S, D., Feb. l0.-The report of a
trade between the democrats ami independ-
ents of South Dakota and Illinois is treated
as a canard by the independents, Several
prominent alliance men in an interview said
that they had heard of no such trade and
would not be party to it; that they would
not vote for democrat and did not
expect help from the democrats. Leading
democrats when interviewed said no such
agreement had been reached, but would not
say it had not been considered 1t Is learned
that such proposition has been suggested by
an Illinois party. Colonel East and Repre-
sentative Pratt, friends Of Judge Tripp,
democratic senatorial candidate, said this
morning that the fight will be settled in a
few days and either Trip or an independent
satisfactory TO the democrats will be elected.
The report has caused much uneasiness among
the republicans and it may result in causing
them to unite ON a candidate.

Words of Warning From Henry Wat
tersOn Did IT,

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb 1O.-The Sun will
tomorrow publish dispatch from Washing
ton, referring to the report that the conclu-
sion of Governor Hill of New York to come
to the senate was because of aletter written
him by Henry Watterson last November.
The letter Is printed in full. In it Mr..
Watterson says that outside. of the
state of New York ttrerc is a
well nigh unanimous demand among
democrats for the nomination of Cleveland
too strong for party leaders and managers to
resist. II Hill should come to the national
convention with the New York delegation
solid against Cleveland he would be over
whemed, 'You are powerless to prevent"
adds WaterSon, "but you can defeat the
election of the ticket There are democrats in
every part of the union who believe you
did this in 1888. l know it to be false but it
Will cling to YOU as long as YOU live and will
meet YOU in every national convention if it
great enough to blot it out. In default of
will defeat that. If you could reconcile
it with your judgment to make peace
with Cleveland and take delegation to the
national convention in 1892 to put him in
nomin alton you will save the party and pla ce
yourself upon an elevation you can never
attain If you fail to do it. You would be re-
ceivcd by the country with enthusi-
asm and | don't see how you
could be kept out of the succession.
On the other hand, even If you succeeded in
defeating the nomination of Cleveland, you
will stand upon sinister and dangerous
ground, with stormy future before you"
