The congressman who represent
the alliance and the peoples party
are closely watched to see whether
their practice agrees with their lusty
declamatiOns against monopolies and
Soulless corporations. The scrutiny
has resulted unfavorably to their
character for consistency. Only one
of them, Mr. Otis, Of Kansas, has
refused to accept railroad passes.
He returned those that were sent to
him, saying that he coull not take
them without falling under obliga-
tions to the roads, and that he was
not to be bribed in this way. Every
one Of the others, according to the
press dispatches, accepted the passes
without scruple, senator PETER being
snecially remarkable for the number
of these gifts that he receives. Be
fore these gentlemen set about the
great reforms they promise us, would
it not be.as well for them to cleanse
their distended pockets Of this peril

It's Masters Bride Torn Limb
From Limb.
SILVER CITY, n. NJ. Jan. 1S.-A pc
culiar story of the jealousy of pet lion
for the bride of its master comes from
ranch in the northwest OF this city. A
few years ago Juan Lopez, young
Mexican, caught and tanned cub lion.
The animal was so doclle that it fol-
lowed Lopez all about the place and on
his hunting expeditions and slept at the
foot OF its masters bed. The animal
mad never shown any viciouSness toward
strangers, allowing visitors to pet and
tondle it at all times.
brought his wife to the house. She was
afraid of the lion and insisted that it be
kept out OF doors. Lopez thereupon
built house for his strange pet, but
the lion showed disposition to rebel
when sent to its new home, and re.
ceived whipping in consequence.
All night long the lions growls were
heard by Lopez and his WIFE, The fol-
lowing day the animal SUNK into the
house, but was sullen, and kept its eyes
constantly fixed upon the wife of its
master. Mrs. Lopez became so nervous
that she prevailed upon her husband to
sell the brute. which he promised to do
the first time he went to town.
q A few days later Lopez proceeded to
town to carry out his promise. When
he returned at night he found his house
dark and apparently unteDanted. Crop
Ing his way indoors, he stumbled and
feel upon something, and upon striking
light was Mortified to find the bleed
ing and torn body of his wife lying upon
the floor. The lion had evidently
jumped upon the woman when her back
was turned and broke her neck, after
ward eating part of the breast and tear
ing her limbs from her body. The AMI
NAL then escaped to the woods and has
not been seen since. Lopez reason gave
way and he is now raving maniac.

WINTER WHEAT.
Summary OF the Condition in Sew
eraI States.

CA0k 0tatCSs
CHICAGO. Jan. 19.-The present con-
dition of winter wheat is summarized as
follows in the Farmers Review to be
issued this week: In Illinois winter
wheat is generally in good condition.
About 10 per cent of the counties report
the condition as a full average; 40 per
cent give the conditions as good: % per
cent report fair. and the rest report the
outlook as bad. The condition in Indl-
ana does not differ greatly from that in
Illinois.
In Ohio the wheat is in condition
slightly below that in the two previously
named states In Michigan the out
look is encouraging, IL per cent of the
counties reporting full average, 60
per cent good, and in the others it is
fair. Kentucky presents diversity of
conditions. An average is reported
from 10 per cent of the counties; good
is reported from so per cent, and the
rest OF the counties are evenly divided
between fair and poor.
Ut the counties reporting from Kan
sas, is per cent give the condition as
average, 10 per cent as good, % per cent
as fair, and the rest poor. Nebraska
shows slightly better condition than
Kansas. In Missouri 30 per cent of the
counties reporting give the condition as
good, while the others are about equally
divided between fair and poor. In Wis
cOnsin about 30 per cent of the CORE
spondentS report good, 40 per cent fair,
and the other as paOr. In Iowa the re-
ports are generally good and fair.

fiict of Authority,
CHICAGO. Jan. 1O.-The Times saws:
All the signs indicate deadlock over
the question of handling exhibits. Presi-
dent Baker, OF the local directory, sum-
moned all the department chiefs to ap-
pear before his new committee on rules
and regulations yesterday. Each de-
partment chief was catechized concel n
ing certain changes in the existing de-
partment and general rules which it is
proposed to make. Director General
Davis, representing the national COM
mission. denies the right of President
Baker to summon the chiefs to confer
ence of any official character whatso-
ever, saying that he should have been
called in If directory committee pur-
posed to suggest any change in the
rules which had been made by his de-
partment chiefs. ALI the work of the
several departments is tied up, pending
a settlement of the question.
The city council took a hand in the
hght last night by passing resolution
declaring that, under the agreement be-
tween the local directors and the ma
tlOnal commission. forming a board of
control, the director general is the rep
reSentative both of the local corporation
and the nation and of supreme author
lty. and calling on the local directory
to take measures to end the conflict as
highly detrimental to the interests of
the fair. Director General Davis saws
there is no trouble between himself and
the directory, but that the conflict
arises wholly out of the position taken
by President Baker without authority.

JAY is NOT BLUFFING.
Mr.. Gould, of New York, in
Dead Earnest in His Kick
on Cuts.
If Offending Officials Are Not
Dropped Trouble Will
EnSue.
No Indication That He Will
Gain His Point as to the
Discharges.
Secret Agreement Said to Ex-
ist Between All the Other
Lines.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-ThOSe who eX-
pressed the belief that Jay Gould was
"bluffing" when he threatened to with
draw from the Western Traffic associa-
ton are now beginning to doubt the
accuracy of their judgment. The &C
ton of the Missouri Pacific directors in
calling upon the chairman of the adj
visory board to call q special meeting
within thirty days to pass upon the
charges of rate cutting made against
certain loads, is accepted as an lndica-
ton that Gould is very much i'll earnest.
Unless ne relents the association will
almost certainly go to pieces. because
the withdrawal of the Missouri Pacific
would surely kill it, and it now looks as
if this could only be prevented by the
discharge of the responsible officials of
the Burlington, the AtchiSOn and the
Southern Pacific, which will not be
done.
President Cable, of the Rock Island,
who has just returned from New York,
was interviewed today on the situation.
He said: II notice in the reports that
the Missouri Pacific directors, at their
meeting yesterday afternoon, passed a
resolution asking President Miller to
call special meeting. Mr.. Miller is still
in New York, and do not know what
he will do about it. If the accused
roads are found guilty of rate-cutting
they cannot refuse to discharge the
men who are responsible for 1t without
completely ignoring the agreement,
which provides for the dismissal of any
or every official from the president
down." us there president In the
association who would be likely or liza
BILE to be thrown over?' ''Why not?
Presidents are no more entitled to be
excused than anybody else. The mere
fact that some of them are stockholders
should make no difference. 1t rests with
the board of directors of each company
to see that this agreement is carried out.
l do not care to express an opinion as
to whether the association will
survive this unpleasantness or not. One
thing is certain, however, unless the
provision which provides punishment
for violations of the agreement can be
enforced the agreement is worthless,
and might as well be abandoned"
Commissioner Midgley has issued
circular letter to the members of the
Western Freight association, in which
he undertakes to show that the West
ern Traffic association has been of great
service to the railroads, and should be
kept alive. He claims that during the
past season of navigation the existence
of the association saved the roads be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul about
because it prevented the
usual reduction of rates between those
two points.

DULUTH Jan. 19.-The market here today

the cause of the slowness. All cables re-

time. Prices ranged steady until about 80
o'clock, when they began to steadily ad
vance. Receipts at country points were re-
ported light, indicating large decrease of
the visible for next week. The Gillian war
news. about the Baltimore being fired on,

MILLER is MUM.
He Will Say Nothing on the spe-
cial Meeting.

He Will say Nothing on the Spe-
cial Meeting.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.--Roswell g.
Miller, president of the advisory board
of the Western Traffic association, de-
clined to say this afternoon whether he
should comply with the request of the
Missouri Pacific railroad to call a spe-
cial meeting of the advisory board to
consider the charges of rate cutting
against the Atchison, Southern Pacific
and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail
roads. Il decline to be interviewed on
the subject" said Mr.. Miller, ''or to say
one word about it one way or the
other"
Under the rules of the Western Traf-
fc association it requires the board of
directors of three companies to unite in
a call for special meeting. But that
would be no obstacle to Mr. Gould, it
is SAID, as he controls the directors of
at least three railroads in the associa-
ton. 1t was said by director of one
of the railroads in the Western Traffic
association today that he did not think
a special meeting of the advisory board
would be held, or that if held it would
not be until next March, month before
the time for holding the regular meet
ing.
This gentleman, who occupies lead
ing position in the great railroad cOun-
ellis, said: "Some people are said to be
short of stocks now, and the disruption
of the Western Traffic association Just
at this time would be very good thing
for them. All the conditions for forcing
a disruption of the association are favor
able now: and, if Mr.. Gould wishes to
do it, he may, perhaps, be able to accom-
plish it.
''Mr. Gould's assumed Indignation at
the alleged SlOwness or unwillingness
of the advisory board to take up or set
tie the charges of rate cutting is very
edifying. but it does not deceive Wall
street. There is no parallel between
the Leeds case and the cases now under
consideration. except in just one par
ticular, and that Is that the same word
occurs in both. namely, sugar This
is the only similarity in the cases.
There was technical violation of the
rules by one of the three roads, against
which charges of rate cutting have been
made. and thatis the only ground for
Mr.. Gould'S assumed virtuOuS indigna-
ton. There was no tariff in force be-
tween the points in which the road is
charged with cutting the rate on sugar,
and the road made rate, instead of
wasting some weeks or months while a
rate was made by the commissioners
and agreed to by the other roads in the
association. That is all there is to one
caSe.''

GOULD is MAD.
Offending Officials Must Be Dis
Ciplined.

New YORK, Jan. I9.-1he Herald says
that there is no doubt that Jay Gould
is thoroughly angry at the refusal of
the Western Traffic association advis-
DRY board to discharge the officials of
the Atchison, the Burlington and the
Southern Pacific. who are responsible
for the cutting of rates on sugar and
wool. At meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Missouri Pacific it was
voted to sustain Mr.. Gould in the posi-
ton he has taken, and that the same
justice shall be melted out in his case
as was done in the case of Mr.. Leeds,
who was responsible for the rate cut
ting on the Missouri Pacific. A mes
sage to this effect was sent to the adj
visOry board by the Missouri Pacific
board of directors.
The Herald's special from Chicago
says that none of the delegates who
were present at the meeting in New
York of the Western Traffic association
are certain that the association will live
beyond April. 1t is said that Jay Gould
could gain no advantage by withdraw
ing the Missouri Pacific road from the
associatian,it being said that on the day
that Mr.. Gould left the meeting, all the
other lines secretelY agreed that they
would resign in body on the day that
the Gould line dropped its membership.
