WEIGHING FOR DUcATS.
Clerk Helps a Grain Ring in
Colorado Grow Rich.

Denver. Col. Nov. 27.-Forgery Is
the charge preferred in a complaint
drawn by the. district attorney At the
request of Detective Penrose against
Otto Ill. Canfield, clerk IN the EN-
ploy Of the Union Pacific at It's local
freight depot. TINS Is an outcome OF
the grain frauds, by which certain
dealers In the grain ring made from $50
TO $40 = car through falsification OF
weights. BY certain system OF un-
cerweighing certain grain men were
enabled to almost absolutely control
the trade of Colorado. Five tirms are
said TO be in this ring.
1t 10 stated that this system Of under
weighing has beeu going on indefi'
nitely. II 10 charged that Garfield has
been in the pay Of the grain
ring, drawing approximately $500 q
1t was on account of these grain frauds
that George l.. Carman, superintendent,
OF the western weighing and inspection
bureau, arrived IN this city last Satur.
day. He pursued his investigation
quietly, and 1t 10 minated that some
high officials may be rounded up and
the matter brought before the inter
state commerce commission.
There was time when the Burling.
ton 4 Missouri controlled . large share
of the grain traffic, and although this
road pas more 20 cent points on its line
than tho Union Pacific has % cent
points, yet for three months, of Aug.
ust, September and October, the Bur-
lington Il Missouri received 6lS Cal
loads of grain aginst l 1881 by the Union
Pacific, not including car loads by the
Union Pacific to Colorado points other
than Denver. The Rock leland has
brought no car loads Of grain into Den
yer during that period with the excep-
ton Of car or two Of wheat, although
the line runs through q rich country.
This indicates the extent to which the
frauds have gone.

WATCH DOG ON DECK.
Holman Can See No Cause for an Extra
Session.

SCSS1Ous
WAsHISsroS, Nov. 27.-Congressman
Holman returned To the city this after
noon. coming direct from his home.
Holman Is chairman of the house com
inittee on appropriations, aud he has
come early 90 as 10 get the committee
together as soon as possible to com
mence work on the appropriation bills
for the coming session.
In answer TO tho question whether
he Was in favor of an extra session OF
congress-. he said: al can't see any ne
cessity for one. So far as the tariff is
concerned, think more can be accom-
plished by doing that work in the or
binary manner and through the ordln-
asy channels. The only reason that
can be advanced for an extra session il
the condition of the public finances.
Extra sessions are rare and have only
been called on OCCASIONS of great emer-
eency. That condition does not ap-
pear TO confront us now. l am not
prepared to asy that there Will be a
deficit that will demand sbch . session
of congress. | see by the papers that
there Will DO perhaps SIS ,000, 900 in the
treasury that will be available outside
of this 500. 000, 900 Of reserve. IL this
coming session reduces expenditures as
it ought to, and as believe it will, that
amount, together with the revenues.
will run the government until the end
of the fiscal year."
Mr.. Holman is of the opinion that
the coming session will do little more
than pass the appropriation bills. He
thinks the question of an income tax
will figure very largely in the discus
eions of the house and that the matter
of immigration may De considered to
some purpose.
