places where their freight be put The merchants
are slow In taking away their goods, and some OF the
lines have been forced to the heroic treatment OF
sending freight public warehouses in order to get
room to move the vast volume of business which will
be crowded forward In less than two weeks OF nay-

never been heavy In the history OF the country as

TO carry it ALL
The famine on Western roads seems to be
growing more serious. Farmers who have been hold

THE ALTON WAS NOT GUILTY OF CUTTING.


Chicago. Nov. Ise-Chairman Finley has for two
days been trying Of alleged violation OF agreement

Chicago st. Paul and Kansas City and other roads
The contention is that these lines last September
duccd home visitors excursion rates to the one fare
for the return trip while the agreed rate and
one-thid fare. Erroneous statements have been pub
hshed concerning this trial, in which The Chicago and
Alton is made TO figure the outside competition that
caused the reduction. The fact is that the Alton
in position TO trouble. the rates were
made to points in the territory where that road is
boycOted. II Is true that all sorts Of provocations
employed by its competitors get it 20 cut the
rate Of the Western Passenger Association. and give
them excuse to do so. but the Alton management
was too shrewd TO fall into the trap. Chairman Fin

SECRETARY FOSTERS FRIENDS.
MANY CALLERS CONGRATULATE HIM UPON HIS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SPEECH.


Secretary Foster remained in his room all day yes
terday at the Fifth Avenue Hotel When he left wash
ington Tuesday morning he was suffering from severe
cold but he did not want to dsappoin the Chamber OF
Commerce people. and so he came and delivered his
speech But returning TO the hotel ne avalled himself
of an opportunity for much needed rest. He slept
late and Mr. wynne his private secretary received
and entertained callers until Mr. Foster prepared
to meet his numerous friends who began sending cards
to his at early hour. Among those who paid
their respects were Governorelect William Mckinley,
IT, of Ohio Asa Bushnell, also Of that State; II. c.
Mccormack, Congressman J. J. Belden Collector Hen
bricks ex-senator T. c. Platt ex-senator Bowen, OF
Colorado Ex-Governor p c. Cheney, Of New-liamp
shire: Cornelius y. Bliss and W. C. Andrews. The
Secretary was complimented by all his straight
forward. outspOken speech delivered at the Chamber
Of Commerce dinner. The speech seemed 10 have
ring in il which tcked many ears and at the same
time left doubt in the minds Of those who heard
and read II the attitude OF the secretary this
vexing problem. 1t variOIsly pronounced to be
sound, thoroughly American and emphatlcally Re-
publican. in party sense shown in the opening
declaration that the parity between gold and silver is
the fixed policy of the Government"
As respecting different views of maintaining such
parity the Secreary's remarks now and then seemed
to possess a particular significance. An impression
prevailed yesterday among business men that the
present Administration had undertaken gapps with
the silver question courageousy il had met Others
OF great National importance. and that long step
would be made IN the next twelve months toward the
further utilization Of the silver product Of the United
States without any disturbance of values.
Secretary Foster will leave Newlork for Wash
ingtOn this afternoon He will visit the sub Treasury
and the Custom House Informally between 1 and 3
O'Clock today.

THE FARMERS IN Russia.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Ii is well known that in several provinces Oh
Russia there is at present gea, suffering amongst the

crops added 10 the inadequate crops Of many previous
years We read Of many Instances OF terrible suffering,
especially amongst small children. one pour woman
left her starving children TO visit a negilsos ag town
to procure food. on her return she found her chill
dren all dead. postmortem examination was had.
and In their stomachs found old rags, EARTH etc.
As a Christian nation cannot remain Indifferent TO
this cry OF suffering
We are glad 10 record the fact that a movement has
been started to open Relief Fund by the British
and American Church in 81. Petersburg with a view
Of receiving donations from America and Englsnc.
Contributions be sent directly No. Is New Isaac
ST., 81. Petersburg, to Messrs W. Ropes Co.,
No. "a Wall-st., Newlork, who will acknowledge and
forward them.
II is to be hoped that the earnest sympathy Of gen
erous America will be awakened, and result In prac-
teal proof that have the poor sufferers of Russia
at heart And whilst contributions will carry Joy
and relief to this starving people, may we not hope
that voluntary benevolence may awaken In the
heart OF the Gar some responsive chord or sympathy
that may result in ameorating the Siberian exile sys
TEN, and modifying the edict of Jewish expulsion.

BIG COMMISSIONS PAID.

piled to passenger business, continues to spread The
latest discovery in this line is that commission of 80
is being paid tickets from Kansas City TO NewYork
reading the Wabash TO Detroit, te Grand Trunk to
Suspension Bridge, and the New York. ontario and
Western to NewYorlI. As this Is rather too large
amount for the Wabash to pay It's account, the
question Is raised what proportion IS paid by its
connections east Of Detroit. The indications that
the Board OF Rulings will have some hard nuts Z,
