Judge Brewers Decision Discussed


CHICAGO, October 27.-Railroad men here
are not of one mind in regard to the merits
of Judge Brewers decision, permitting any
sort OF joint tariffs to be made by connecting
lines. without in the least affecting the local
rates of those lines. None of them has seen
the full text of the decision as yet, but from
all that has been printed in the newspapers,
the majority of them are inclined to the be-
lief that 1t is scarcely a well-cOnsidered con-
clusion.
The vice-pre1dent of a western road, who
Is regarded one of the ablest railroad men
in the country, said: II can scarcely be
ieve that the abstracts of the decision which
have read, contain all the essential points
set forth in it. If SO, however. must say
that it a most unfair decision True. 1t
will benefit the American roads IN meeting
Canadian competition, but Its enects alsos
will be to cause friction between American
lines. Judge Brewer, if I understand his de-
cision, says that two or more lines may JOIN
in making through line, and may make
such proportionate rates as they please with
out changing their local rates in the least.
Yet one continuous line, owned by one COM
pany, running between the same points,

cannot make through rate lower than the
rate to any intermediate point on its road
'sFor instance, the Chicago d Alton and
the Union Paicfc may make any through
rate they like between Chicago and Topeka,
while the Santa Fe road, having its own line
to Topeka, can only make rate that is not
lower than its rate to the Missouri river.
Again, the Michigan Central. the Lake Shore,
the Wabash and other roads may join in
making cheap through rates between Chi
cago and New York without disturbing their
local rates, thereby obtaining great advan-
tage over ths Pennsylvania and the Baltl-

A Bank Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The flight of George
Bartels, paying teller of the Central Trust and
Savings bank, with $1,000 of the bank IS cash,
has unearthed what seems to have been an
extensive conspiracy to defraud fve Chicago
banks. The scheme was partially successful
and over $4,000 was secured from Bartels'
employers, but it has since been make good
Another bank is said to have lost $4,000,
which was also made good. Three men, for
merly connected with the Chicago Bank Note
Company, have been arrested, charged with
conspiracy to defraud. These are William
A. Forbes, N. W. Burnside and Charles N
Anson. Bartels was the fourth man wanted.
The preliminary hearing was set for Thurs
day. Charles Nichols, the go-between, has
made an affidavit purporting to expose the
whole scheme. An application for a receiver
for the concern has been filed by the former
president of the company. This instrument
throws light upon the methods used.
Forbes was manager OF the Chicago Bank
Note Company, and Burnside the son of a
well-known physician, was associated with
Forbes. Anson was an employe Of the firm.
The young men had been vouched for by
numerous men of wealth and financial influ-
ence, and on the strength Of this, opened ac-
counts with the Central Trust Savings bank,
Globe National bank, state bank, of Chicago,
First National bank and Milwaukee Avenue
State bank. Immediately they deposited
checks, drafts, etc., which have since be, n
found to be fraudulent, and later drew out
the cash. By collusion with Teller Bartels,
a great rnn Of paper was dumped on the Cen.
tral Trust Savings bank. 1t is said the plot
tiers intended TO pull all the banks they had
money deposited with into their net, and then
break up and clear out, but the papers came
to protest too soon. Bartels disarmed sus-
picion by ingeniously warning the bank Off
cials thut he was suspicious that the note com.
pany was "kiting," and suggesting that gen.
eral guarantee of the transaction be secured
from wealthy DR.. Burnside

The Board satisfied.

SALEM, Or. Aug. 2-This evening the
state board of railroad commissioners di
rected letter to Governor Pennoyer, in
reply to his communication asking the
board to prepare maximum rate act to
apply on all railroad lines In Oregon, for
submission to the Legislature. The board
says it found the present rates just, ex
cept those of the Southern and Union
Pacific, the schedules of which Com mpanies
the board revised. In the Union Pacific,
the revision is already in effect, and in
the matter of the Southern Pacific, the
case is now on appeal to the supreme
court of Oregon. The rates proposed
and established by the commission, ap
piled to the business of 1890, an average
year, amounted to net saving to the
people of Oregon of over $4,000. In
view of these facts, and having full faith
in the present law, and the integrity of
the courts to enforce and support the
same, the board feels it is Its "duty to
respectfully decline to devise any other
scheme looking to legislative control in
this NATTER
To day the board found that neither
the Oregon Pacific nor its employees we're
to blame for the accidental killing OF
Mrs. Pruitt and two children at Yaquina
City recently. Also that no blame
should attach to the Southern Pacific or
its employees for killing Freddie Ward at
Comstock.

Democratic papers are busily en-.
gagged at present in excepting up the
fences" portions of which have shown
weakness during the past few weeks.
Until the wages of the strikers at
Homestead we're published they con-
sidered they had strong wall of de.
fense for free. trade, in the statement
that protection did not affect the
wages OF laborers in the least. But it
was proved beyond doubt at Home
stead that lowering the duty in the
Mckinley bill on certain articles of
manufactured steel had the direct eff
feet of lowering the wages of those en-
gagged in the Industry, and, reasoning
on this basis, increasing the duty on
the same would haye increased wages.
So that portion of the free trade fence
that declared protection had nothing
to do With wages, had to he remod-
eled, and we read little or nothing in
Bourbon prints about the matter.
There are other rotten boards in this
Democratic fence which need remodel
ing, and notably free-silver and mono
metalisiu cannot be supported bv the
same nails. One or the other must
fall, aud we believe in November the
vote will prove that the entire ''fence"
which surrounds Democracy is resting
On very frail supports.

Speaker Crisp is attempting to en-.

clustering scheme of the Democratic
members of the lower house will not

doubtedly it will lose votes for Cleve-
land. The people of the country de-
sire an appropriation for the Worlds
Fair in Chicago, and the wheels of

obstruction to such measures are det-

This is the kind Of Democratic cam

This is the kind of Democratic cam
paign doctrines that are published in
Bourbon papers, and is an excerpt
from the Albany Democrat: "Be it
observed that of the six new states ad-
mitted to the union in the past three
years. Montana, Washington and the
two Dakotas came in under the pro-
vision of an act of congress passed by
the Democratic house in 1889 and
signed by President Cleveland just be-
fore the expiration of his term. They
are remarkably orderly and well-gov-
erned states. The other two, Idaho
and Wyoming, in which the army IS
kept pretty constantly campaigning
against civilians, are the creatures
solely of Harrison and the Reed con-
gress. They were taken in for no
other reason on earth but to chuck in
six electoral votes for Harrison's re-
election" The trouble about the rus
tiers in Wyoming caused the neces-..
sity of employing United States troops,
and the strike among the miners in
Idaho resulted in bloodshed; but these
can in no manner be traced to the ad-
ministration of Mr.. Harrison. Such
arguments never make converts, and
simply show the inherent weakness of
the party.

persons who are not acquainted with

this true where the crime charged is

these trials, and, for the sake of JUS

The Gladstone government will
have no easy diplomatic problem to
solve in stopping the onward march of
Russia towards India. During the
previous occupancy of the premiership
by the grand old man the czsr's army
was close to Herat, and it seems that
within the last few days the Russians
have made other advances towards this
gateway. It will require not only
careful diplomacy, but a determined
opposition to stop the rapacity of the
great empire of the north extending
its dominion towards the long coveted
country of Hindostan. It is to be
hoped for the benefit of free institu-
tions and the advanced civilization of
the age that British influence will be
supreme over Russian in the govern
ment of India and the solution of the
long contested Eastern question.

Good Bill to Veto.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-When the pres
ident's veto message OF the bill con
ferring on the court of claims jurisdiction
in contested land patent cases was
brought in to-day and was being read,
Senator Mitchell made running fire of
soto poce comments. Only few sena-
tors near him knew what he was saying
although it was apparent that he was not
in very amiable frame of mind. There
seems to be difference of opinion as to
the effect of the bill. Senator Dubois
says that 1t was good bill to veto, as 1t
would destroy the land-office business in
the west, while Senator Mitchell says
that the land bill would have enabled
many settlers to have their rights settled
IN the courts, and would not have been
deprived of the night of teing considered
as claimants for land that they thought
they had a title to.

a Turbulent l10b.

HOMESTEAD, Aug. 3.-The arrest of
Yardmaster James Covey and Superin-
tendent Mcconnell, of the open hearth
department, on the charge of murder.
this afternoon, was attended by turhu-
lent scenes, necessltating the interference
of the militia and the additional arrest of
strikers. When Constabies Stewart and
Climber reached Homestead with four
warrants, TWO for the above Carnegie
officials and the others for Superinten-
dent Potter and George A. Forey, rumors
of the prospective arrests spread through
the town, and hundreds of iocked-out
and striking men gathered at the differ
ent stations. At Nun hall the crowd
numbered 200. The train on which the
constables and prisoners were to be taken
to Pittsburg was few minutes late. aud
when the oonstables and prisoners arrived
at the depot the crowd surged around
the station door as the prisoners were
hurried into 1t, while the militia strove to
keep the men back, but the force was I'm
equal to the task. Every minute the
crowd increased. while uttering threats,
especially directed against Covev, were
plainly nearo.
AS the time passed. the crowd became
more turbulent, and word was hastily
sent to the provost marshal. He dis
patched at once Major Crawford, with
company of the Fifteenth regiment. On
the arrival ut the depot the soldiers
marched company front, pushing back
the crowd, which retired In surIy way.
One striker. Thomas Bowen, became OBJ.
and yelled, "Tbree cheers for
Co1ey, damn him." Two soldiers hastily
seized Bowen. He was hustled into the
station and placed IN charge of two dep
uties. This stern measure quelled the
hostile demonstration. Bowen will be
charged with unlawful assemblage and
conduct. and probably with
melting to riot. This turbulent demon
stration has convinced General Wyllie
that it would not be advisable to remove
the militia from Homestead at present.
