The Shit snake.

There is a snake belonging to the small family causidse, inhabiting Afri- ca, that is said to have the power of ejecting it's venom to a short dis tance. This snake is called by the Dutch Boen "spuw slang" or spit snake. When this snake erects its teeth, the pressure of the maxillary bone on the gland causes the venom to flow in drops, and 1t may be quite pos sible that by discharging air from its mouth the poison may be blown some distance. But this information and observation of these Dutchmen Spay be taken cum grano sails, or VI might fall into the same errdTs as the Hncient Aunehaussn, rlinv the elder. ~~~

The santa Fe Leads on.

CHICAGO, June 2.-Having failed to
reach an agreement with competing lines,
the A., T. & s. F. yesterday put in effect
its new rates from Denver to Chicago,
$3.50 for the round trip, and $3.50 for
the round trip to Missouri river points.
1t ia possible that there may be string
tied to the rates, but it is the present in
tention of tho Santa Fe to keep them in
force. The conference between the Rock
Island, Burlington and Alton roads did
not meet as it was intended, and the
officials of those roads declared that they
were waiting to see what the Santa Fe
would do. The rates put in by the Santa
Fe will have tendency to knock the top
AID bottom of the Worlds fair rates all
over the west. 1t is very probable that
the roads will establish system of thirty
day or sixty day tickets which will be
sold at reduced rates, while the regular
rates will be left untouched. In this way,
some of the roads argue, the demand for
cheaper transportation to the fair can be
met.
KANSAS CITY, June 2.-Tho Chicago &
Alton railway promptly met the Santa
Fe's reduced Worlds fair rates to Chi
cago. 1t is believed the other roads will
make the $3.50 rate. It is the general
opinion among railway people here that
now that the ball has been set rolling it
will not come to standstill until the
Chicago rate has been further materially
reduced. The Santa Fe announced
round trip rate of one fare and a third
from Kansas points to Kansas City for
those who buy through tickets for Chi
cago. This makes a reduction from Ran
sas points to Chicago of 33h per cent.

An IninOrtant Casc.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 31.--To-day in
the United States court of appeals in this
city was heard case, the outcome oi
which involves the existence of all rail
road traffic associations of the country,
some sixty-eight in number. 1t is the
case of the United States against the
Trans-Missonri Freight association, and
the fifteen roads constituting it. The
case was heard by Judge John Riner, at
Cheyenne, Wyo., last July and decided in
favor of the railway companies. Action
was brought by j. W. Ady, district attor-
ney for the district of Kansas, in the
United States circuit court in December
1891, charging that this association of
the railways tended to createa monopoly
violating the provisions of the Sherman
antitrust act. Tho railway companies
answered, alleging that the association is
necessary to prevent discrimination, and
that the railways are subject to the pro.
visions of the interstate commerce law,
and not Of the antitrust act, the latter
having been passed to reach tho evil
of trade trusts, and that congress in pass
ing the ANTITRUST act, rejected an amend

not deceived, and for two weeks they
have been gradually withdrawing their

now in the hands of Col. Beatty, and if
the sale is effected it will be due to his

the repeal of the Sherman act unless free
silver champions are furnished with a
substitute that meets with their approval.
The free silver bill might be passed, but
1T would undoubtedly meet with the dis
approval of the president. 1t is my
opinion that business reverses similar to
these we have recently witnessed will con-
tinue until the financial problem is settled.

things with alarm, however. Our credit
