STOPPED BY NIIDGLEY.
The Protests Against Proposed
Changes Are Effective,

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.--The lines that
agreed to reduce the rates on sugar,
coffee. canned goods and other commod-
titles to Kansas points were notified to-
day by Chairman Mldgley. of the West
ern Freight association, that they must
not take any such action. The Atchison
and the Rock Island had issued their
tariffs on the basis of the proposed re-
ductiOn, to become effective March l.
The Missouri Pacific had already put
the new rates into effect, but was Or
dered to withdraw them at once.
These roads were informed that protests
against the adoption of the rates
had Teen filed by the Chicago & Alton,
the Milwaukee q ST. Paul, the Chi
cage, st. Paul d Kansas City and other
Missouri river lines and that under the
agreement no changes in rates could be
made except by unanimous consent of
the lines interested.
Chairman Midgley's order will be
obeyed by the other roads, the general
managers of which now realize that
they were too hasty in entering into a
compromise agreement with the Kansas
railroad commissioners to prevent The
arbitrary reduction of local rates in the
state. AS the railroads are unable to
carry out their part of the contract it is
probable the commissioners will renew
their original order

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Ctairman Walker,
on behalf of the commissioners OF the
Western Traffic association, submitted
decision today dispoSing of the Atchi-
sons application for a reduction of the
second class passenger rate from the
Missouri river to California points. He
says:
The commissioners have considered
the application of the Santa Fee for
authority to reduce the second class
passenger rate to Pacific coast points to
Sl4.30. The question presented involves
a consideration of whether the CON-
missioners under the agreements and
bylaws are required to take measures to
enable each line to carry its fair share of
the competitive business at the expense
of sacrifice of the maintenance OF rea-
sonable rates. If the duty of securing
the maintenance of reasonable rates is
paramount they could not be justified
In authorizing the reduction, while if
the right of each line to enjoy fair
share of traffic in competition is SUI
periOr reduction in the rate might be
found eXpedient and proper.
The commissioners have been un-
able to reach unanimous agreement as
to their duty under the bylaws in gues-
ton. and will present this subject for
the consideration of the advisory board
at its next meeting. In view of the
consideration as thus presented, the
commissioners report that they are not
now able to reach an agreement upon
the proposition submitted by the APP
peal of the Santa Fee, leaving it for the
lines interested to take such other meas
ures as may be open to them Under the
bylaws"

LITTLE SPECULATION.
Sharp Contrast to the Recent
Activity.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26-Bradstreet's weekly
Wall street review: While the prospecc of a
continuance of gold exports has been the
PrlnclpaI factor i'll the market Tor the past
week, II mas not been without influences of q
different and to some extent contrary char
acter. In the main the trading has been al
most entirely professional in its origin and
OF limited KIND at that. the general dullness
and the inert state of speculation being in
striking contrast to the buoyant activity
which prevailed barely fortnight ago.
Inc public. 1t is needless to say. has disap-
peared from the street, and the speculative
holdlngs distributed under the Stimulating
influences of the great commercial deal have
Deen rapidly l1quidated. Professional senti-
ment is from experience altogether against
bullish manifestations in the face of gold
shipments. and. though I'D to this time the
exports, or the prospect OF their confirm
ance, have failed to affect the money mar.
ket. there is a general feeling of apprehen-
sion on that score. The accepted theory is
mat European countries have need for fur
ther supplies of gold. and are prepared TO
draw 1t from this side of the Atlantic even if
1t is necessary to pay high for it. The ship
ment of 1900 900 early i'll the week. and the
further engagement of some 81. 25O, $50 of its
close, are therefore egarded as the initial
steps In process which will duplicate both
the outflow of specie of last spring and its
paralyZlng effect upon speculation
But while such considerations checked
buying and gave support TO bearish attacks.
an unexpected quarter Tuesday. when the
market reopened after the holiday of the 2od
inst, London appeared as heavy buyer. its
purchases giving steadiness to the entire list
and causing sharp recoveries in the stocks
which had been heavily sold bv the bear
traders. This action may be partly explained
as the covering OF short interest in London
prior to fortnighty settlement. Itwas.
however, for the moment interpreted as an
indication that continued selling by foreign
interests was drawing to an end, the fact that
the pressure thus created caused an immedi-
ate decline of exchange rates, and tenn
porary suspension of the danger of gold en-
gagements having a further influence in the
same direction.
For the balance of the week Europe did
little in the ma ket on either side of the ac-
count thereby increasing the general dull
ness AT the same time the influence from
that quarter was somewhat strengthening.
and at any rate discouraged bearish opera
tlons though the net effect of the divergent
factors was one of the dullest and most I'M
interesting markets that has lately been ex-
hibited.
The coal stocks were still the chief objects
OF interest, though the activity in them was
moderate and normal The most active
stock in the market was Chicago Gas. the
gyrations of which were somewhat difficult

American Soil.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The World says:
Preparations for another Cuban revolu-
ton are in progress in this and other
American cities, as we'll as upon the
island itself. The movement is stated
on good authority to be the largest and
most completely organized ever in
augurated for Cuban independence.
There are said to be 5000 Cuban patri-
OTIS in this country ready to join in the
war. In Cuba the revolutionary party
is also actively preparing for the out
break, and when the word is given the
forces OH Spanish and United States
soil will act in conjunction for the over
throw of the Spanish yoke.
In several cities of this country these
revolutionists are holding meetings,
raising money, purchasing equipments
and planning campaign. AT the end
of the last Cuba revolution there was a
general stampede of those who took
part in the instruction for country in
which their lives were safer. Thou
sands of defeated Cubans settled in
Florida, where many found work as
cigarmakerS, while others came to New
York. These are the people who are
now preparing to make things likely in
the country from which they fled for
their lives.
