Busy BURGLARS AT NEWARK
They Broke into FiUe places and Made
Attempts at -Four Others very Little
PLunder Secured. - During Sunday
night a gang of industrious burglars
visited the town of Newark and sue
ceeded in eflecting an entrance into the
following places
The Deer Park Hotel kept by John
E. Lewis.
The harness store of John Penning-
ton.
The general store of Nathan Moth
erall.
The Office of Wright & Sons, coal

In addition the industrious gang
made unsuccessful attempts upon the
following places:
The -four and feed store of William
Barton.
The drug store of DIR. J. G. Butler.
The general store of Singles &
Nields.
The results indicate that the bur
glars were after money, as nothing
else was disturbed at any of the places
visited, except some liquor at the
hotel. The money haul was not very
profitable one, however, and comprised
only some loose change at few of the
places, amounting to about So al

Commissions on Tickets.

The Alton boycott is now thing of the
past, but the Eastern presidents are still de-
termined TO continue the war on the pay
ment of ticket commissions, in order to
save the revenue, said to amount to millions
OF dollars annually, now paid for the pur-
pose of securing passenger traffic. just
how they will succeed in doing this is not so
plain, but it is self evident that the
question of the payment of commissions
was not settled with the lifting of the Alton
boycott,
At their late New York meeting resolu-
lions were adopted pledging the lines not to
pay commissions, but no penalties for vio-
lations were attached to the resolutions.
Power previously delegated to the board of
rulings to institute boycoJts was with
drawn, and it was provided that complaints
of violation should hereafter be made
directly to the presidents. This may mean
only that the presidents have tired of boy
colt measures, or it may mean that
they will hereafter take a more active hand
in the issue. Unless they can prevent their
own lines from paying commissions it is
very improbable that they can prevent out
side lines from paying in Eastern territory;
but if the former feat is accomplished the
latter will be attempted, mainly by direct
ing the ticket agents to route business IN
accordance with instructions and, having
thus educated their own ticket agents, to
then shrink the traffic of the roads that
insist upon paying commissions.

A Loss to Fort Worth.

The transfer OF J. e. Smith, city passen-
ger and ticket agent of the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, to Waco, is a source of deep
regret to the people of this city and the
travelling public generally. People had come
to regard him IS d fixture and were always
ready to swear by ''Smith and his Katy"
While his field may be more lucrative one,
and more pleasant to him in some respects,
he will never find in the Geyser City warmer
friends than he has in Fort Worth. The
personal popularity of the man who handles
the passenger business for any line in any
city, has vastly more to do with the passen-
ger earnings of the road outside of that city
than many railway officials seem to appre-
ciate. Mr. Smith has essentially been a
fighter, and if there was any business in
sight he would have it, if possible. For
nearly year the writer has been thrown
in daily contact with him, and conse-
quentIy has had abundant opportunities of
judging his merits. The GAZETTE cordially
commends him to the good graces of the
Waco people, and trusts they will accord to
him and his Katy the patronage he de-
serves.

Loss to Fort worth-A New Station.
The InternatonaPs Earnings.
Transferred to the Katy, Etc.


The Chicago roads seem to be consider
ably exercised over the movement of grain
from Kansas, Nebraska and other South
western territory to New Orleans, and
complain that there is a difference of 4
cents per 100 in the rate in favor of New
Orleans as against the Atlantic seaboard.
The natural outlet for this grain
is New Orleans. Taking the Mis-
souri, river gateways, Kansas City,
Atchison, St Joseph and Leavenworth
as basing point, and assuming the ship
ment is all rail from those points, it is yet
200 miles nearer, even if Buffalo was taken
as the seaboard. Add to this the fact that
grain may be shipped to St. Louis or Mem
phis from these gateways, and thence to the
gulf port by water, the difference is much
greater in favor of New Orleans. If this
city had sufficient elevator capacity
and a climate that for several
months in the year is unfavorable to the
handling and storage, all the output of
trans-Missouri grain would go to New Or
leans instead of to the Atlantic via Chicago
and Buffalo. Water ways have a great
deal TO do with basing grain tariffs as wei
as all other export business.

To Egan, Minister, Santiago.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

To Egan, Minister, Santiago.
) 1 am directed by the president TO ac-
knowledge the receipt of Parreria's dis
patch of the 18th inst. 1t has been commu-
nicated to congress and has given great
pleasure TO the people Of the United States
and the executive department, as it
restores correspondence between the two
republics to basis of cordiality and makes,
he believes, a full and honorable adjust
ment of all unsettled matters easily attain
able The president notes with gratifica-
ton the expression of regret for and con-
domination of the assault upon the sailors
of the Baltimore offered by Perreira, and
congratulates the Gillian government upon
the frank and ample withdrawal of the
Malta circular and upon the spirit of
justice displayed towards Egan. You
will assure the Gillian government
the president will be glad to meet
in the most generous spirit these
friendly overtures. Believing the subject
of reparation for the assault upon the sea-
men of the Baltimore is now capable of adj
justment between the two governments by
use of diplomatic methods, the president
postpones for the present any discussion of
the suggestions made by Perreira as to the
use of other methods, doubling not that the
sense of Justice CT Chill will enable the two
governments TO speedily and honorably
make an end of the whole matter.
