The Power of he state Asserted.

TOPEKA, March 9.-The board of railroad
in the matter of disputed rates on sugar and
other articles known As fifth class freight.
The board preludes its ruling by state
ment of the whole controversy, recital of
the pledges giving by the roads in connection
with their late agreement with the wholesale
srocers of Kansas. which, they say, have now
been broken by the railroads.
''The final result has proven that the Kan
sas railway companies are subject to an asso-
citation power which can, at will, force them
to deny admitted obligations to the citizens
of Kansas, and humiliate them in falsifed
pledges, broken faith, and repudiated con-
tracts. They have all submitted to this for
eign dictation in the formal notice of the
cancellation of rates made IN obedience to
their contract, some before they became
effective, and the others effective on March
18th inst.
SIT now remains for the commission to as
sert the authority of the state, in a reduction
of the local rate on sugar and other COM
modities involved in the complaint, to a de-
gree and in such manner as to make them
nOn-dlScrlmlnatlve, reasonable and Just. In
doing this the commission is not bound by
the original order reducing rates on fifth
class which was suspended in respect to the
agreed commodity rates on portion of that
class. 1t holds to the same rule of action
which governed in consenting to the suosti-
ton of the agreement of February 9, between
the complainants and respondents, for its or
der of January6.
This action on the part of the respondent
companies in naming a 10 cent addition to
the Missouri river rates on sugar is in perfect
agreement with the judgment of the commits
sion, which asked for a IS cent through rate
on that commodity from the south and east
to the several ioboing points named in this
controversy. Its voluntary concession, in
the agreement, would seem to conclude the
argument In support of 10 cent rate from
Missouri river points as at once reasonable
and just. But the commission need not rest
upon this recognition alone for its justitica-
ton, inasmuch as these same companies have
voluntarily adopted with the official sanction
of both the Western and Trans Missouri assO-
Citations, both of which now appear as pro-
teStantS, a much lower rate than this on
sugar moved in all directions, and nearly
everywhere except in Kansas.
1.-The proposed rate of Is cents yields to the
companies nearly three times the revenue per
ton mile of that which prevails across and
around Kansas, in all directions.
THE commission therefore finds. decides
and orders, that ON and after March 16, 1892,
the rate on sugar, car load lots, from Fort
Scott, Kansas City, Kan, Leavenworth and
Atchison shall be Is cents per 100 pounds;
and that in place of the order of January 8,
1892, reducing the rate on the fifth class, n
rate shall take effect and he in
force from and after March Is, 1892, on
canned goods, coffee and beans, in car load
lots, of ~ cents to Salina, % cents to Hutch
insOn and Wichita, and q cents to Arkansas

Making Capital of a Personal Matter.

LONDON, March "a dispatch from Yoka-
hama says that serious division of feeling
has arisen between the English and American
colonies, relative to the shooting of George
Cover Robinson, the English banker, by
Lieutenant Hetherington, of the United
States navy. Robinson was very popular
among the English colony, and his friends
claim that there was no good excuse nor
cause for Hetherington taking the law into
his own hands.
The case has already led to very strained
relations between the English and American
societies in Japan. and some of the leading
English have given the cut direct to their
American acquaintance, especially the Off
cial class. As English influences are promi-
nent in Japan the situation also affects unfa-
vorably the American relations with the
natives.

A Box.. Insenious Device.

DxSvKR, COL, March ga Colorado lad,
II years of age. has invented q device to pre-
vent rear end collisions of railway trains.
The signal consists of an iron box about four
inches square, in which is enclosed torpedo
This box IS fastened to the outside base of
the rail, at least 100 feet from q switch, either
way. From this box and connected with the
mechanical con.rivance inside, a steel wire
runs alongside the rail and is connected with
the rod of the switch. When the switch Is
set for the main track the torpedo remains
inside the box, but As long n it IS thrown to
. siding it sets square on the rail and ex-
plodes when struck by the engine of the rear
train, thus giving time for the train to be
stopped and prevent a collision. The appli-
ance will be adopted by the Bio Grande and
other western systems

The Cordage Trust Comes Next,

CHICAGO, March S.-The powerful machin-
cry of the government, which worked SO we'll
in securing indictments against the whisky
against the cordage trust, which has been
raising prices with high hand lately.
Charles koltOr, representative of the de-
partment of justice, who served all the war
rants for the arrest of President Greenhut
and other whisky officials last week, has been
investigating the methods of the cordage
trust, of this city, for several days.
koltor left here for Minneapolis to confer
with the United States district attorney, and
secure additional evidence TO prove that the
combination controls the market for cordaee.
The facts which Koltor secured will probably
be laid before the grand jury at Boston, New
York or Philadelphia.

Heaven Under Execution.

CHICAGO, March SIN the circuit court OF
Cook county novel suit will be fled, in
which Schweinfurth, the self-constituted
Christ. figures as defendant in damage suit
to recover $4,000. The plaintiff will ask
judgment in this sum for alienation of the
affection of his wife and five children, and
hopes to obtain a decree, authorizing execu-
ton to issue upon the portable property of
'.heaven." The style of the suit is George
W. Coudry, of Chicago, vs.. George Jacob
Schweinfurth, of Rockford, and the Rev. S.
William Baldwin and Francis Ward.
The suit is of much importance to the
Scbweinfurth heaven at Rockford, as the
paradise is we'll endowed with this worlds
goods, and Coudry's suit, if successful, will
precipitate many Others.
Two weeks ago Coudry wished to dispose
of piece of property. His wife, however,
refused to sign the deed without consulting
-hrist," and ''Christ" justlfies her in her
refusal. This, it is thought, was the active
agency that precipitated the suit.

Eiehty-Three Destitute Widows.

OPoR1o, March 5.-The recent gales along
the coast of Portugal have been productive
of great loss of life, particularly among the
fishermen. Among those who lost their lives
in the storm of few days ago were eighty
three married men in addition to large
number who were not married. The eighty
three widows have now thrown upon them
the care and support of 233 children. They
are miserably poor, and I'm 'ess something IS
done to aid them they will all suffer severely.

Better. Save in Cotton and Iron.

NEW YORK, March 7-R. G. Dun & Co. say
Domestic trade gradually improves, even
at the south, where much of the trouble seems
to have been due to the unwillingness of the
holders to sell cotton at low prices.
Supplies of money are everywhere ample.
1t is still the fact that the two dark spots
are directly caused by overproduction. Cot
ton receipts this week have been high. Eff
forts to curtail the production this year appear
tn meet with success.
The OF ly possible remedy for the trouble
in the iron trade is to be applied, according
to dispatches, by the closing of some furnaces.
Current prices are called about the lowest on
record. The rail combination still waits for
buyers. The trouble in this industry is that
too great and sudden expansion was ex-
pected.
Copper is unchanged, tin weak, and lead
moderately active.
The coal market continues uncertain, as
the combination is not ready to act, but the
agents recommend an output of only 2, 5W,-
eco tons in March.
A better situation appears in textible man.
ufactures, for the cotton mills are well en-
ployed. and trade in cotton goods improves
and sales of wool a decided improvement is
seen. Wool is low, as the holders grow anx-
ious to sell it before the new clip comes in.
Spring trade in dress goods closes in good
shape, while in mems woolens bright fabrics
and colors to meet the taste sell rapidly.
More demand is noted for black cheviots.
In boots and shoes there is much more ac-
tivity.
Speculation has not been at all active, and
it may be fortunate that gold exports have
checked the rising fever in that direction.
Wheat has declined = cent. with small
sales. Corn comes forward freely. the re-
oeipts being 10000 bushels in three days,
but the exports are heavy, L. Ss, 900 bushels
in the same time, and the price, therefore, is
higher. Pork products are a shade lower.

The modus vivendi included the protection
OF the seal fisheries, and members of con-
gress state freely that they will insist upon
Their protection by the United States under
the Law requiring it to furnish such protec-
ton. IT this course is followed the situation
will assume phase very similar to that pre-
eeeding the readoption of the modus vivendi

policy of seizure of offending vessels, which
may meet with energetic protests and perhaps

The Behring Sea Joint Commission.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.-The JOINT
commission on the Behripg sea seal fisheries
held final session at the state department.
After signing the joint report, embodying a
statement of facts connected with the sealing
industry, the commission adjourned SINE die.
1t is understood that no agreement was
reached on the main question at issue, as to
whether or not closed season and the pro-
hibition of pelagic sealing are essential for
the preservation of the seal species. It is
said the representatives of the United States
advocated a policy of this kind for limited
period, and that the representatives of Great
Britain opposed it. There will, therefore, be
two separate reports on this point. These
will be submitted to the board of arbitration
when that body shall have been organized.
In the meantime the treasury department is
making the usual arrangements for the en-
forcement of the laws in regard to the seal
fisheries

WOLFISH HUNGER.
The Capital Of Austria in a
State of Alarm.
Acts of Violence Caused by Hunger In
cre2se-The Police Are Active, But
Cannot Check Crime-Supplies by
Charity Too Meager.

vienna, March There has of late been
rapid and alarming increase in the number
of crimes, most of them of a serious charac-
ter, committed in this city. Many acts of
violence and numbers of robberies are being
reported to the police daily. Nearly all these
breaches of law are found upon investigation
to be due to widespread distress which is pre-
vailing here.
Two men made an attack with knives upon
teacher named Fidetcher, the assault taking
place on the Ring-strassse. The assailants
beat him badly and robbed him of bis valua-
bles. The teacher was left for dead, but de-
spite his terrible injuries it is thought he will
recover.
Like cases are reported in numbers.
In addition to the many acts of violence
which has taken place, there has been host
of burglaries committed, and these are attrib-
uted 10 people who have been driven to des-
peration by want of food and take these
means to obtain funds and necessaries. To
such an extent has crime spread that the law
abiding citizens of the city have become
greatly alarmed for the safety of their per-
sons and property, and are taking extraor-
binary precautions to protect themselves and
possessions. The police are doing all in their
power to put a stop to crimes, but there are
SO many engaged in these acts of violence
and depredations that the officers are able to
apprehend only a few of those guilty. In
reply to the urgent appeals of the municipal
authorities to the public for aid, 10000 has
been subscribed to the funds for the free dis
tribution of bread. The suffering of the
poor parsons have been alleviated by these
charities, but the amount of bread supplied
Is far from satisfactory.
