RAMSEY is AS7oNIsHED.
The Chief Of the Telegraphers Talks About
His lndictmant.

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 2c.-D. G. Ram
say, grand chief of the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers, was asked last night
concerning MS indictmentsin Iowa on a
charge of conspiracy to cut the telc-
graph wires and delay messages. The
gentleman said he knew no more about
the particulars of the charges than a
man who had never been in thestate and
could not imagine how his name could be
connected with the affair. He ndnit-
ted that wires were cut or broken dur
ing the Rock Island strike, but CLAIMED
that he had always discountenanced
such actions. He had been at the head
of the order for nearly three years and
was willing to let the members of the
great society judge him by
his actions. lie also believed that
the wonderful success and dcvel-
opment of the order was owing
chiefly to the system of arbitration and
cautious methods which he had advo-
Gated. Mr.. Ramsey said he was thor
oughly satisfied that the proceedings
indicting him were entered by disgrun-
tied former members of the order for
the purpose of injuring him. Mr.. Ram
sey will spend a couple of days with
his mother in East st. Louis and then
visit the worlds fair, returning to his
headquarters Mt Vinton, Ia, about
Tuesday.

Indications That He May Be Arrested on His
Return Home.

TOLEDO, o., Oct. a6.-Rumors are
current that on Governor Fosters re-
turn from the east, where he has been
for several weeks past, he will be ar
rested on some charge connected with
his recent assignment. Persons who
have had communication with the com
mittee who have the expert at work on
the books at the bank have let drop re-
marks to this effect, also
that Cashier Wilkison would
be arrested Late develop
ments look as though that was not idle
talk. The committee was hard at
work ali day Saturday on some matter
connected with the bank nffair. They
were closeted all day in an attorney S
Office with the expert examiners aud
Dick Blackford. the we'll known Find.
lay attorney. All parties to the con-
sultation were very reticent as to what
was under consideration and also as to
any plans they have made for future
action. Assignee Gormley declares
that there might possibly be some ir-
regularities in the books. but he does
not think anything criminal was con-
templated. He said Mr.. Foster would
be here to answer any charge that
might be preferred against him.

Association Committee and Urion
Pacific VIII Have Conferences
About Emigrant Business.

CH!sAGio, Oe,. -J.--tfne lines in the
Western Freight association have taken
gEstand on the question of division Of
earnings which will makossrious trouble
for some of the roads. The association
lines have come to the conclusion that
for manJ Years back they have been
allowing the Iowa rosds too large aper-
centage and have agreed after Nov. l.,
they will allow them only their local
earnings. Ithas been the custom here
tofore for the Iowa roads to deliver a
car of merchandise to an association
line and receive anywhere from 10 to SO
per cent of the charges to the point of
delivery. For instance, one of tho
small roads would have car consigned
to Chicago and would deliver it TO the
nearest point of junction to Chicago
lines whichlwould deliver it in Chicago.
Thus the Iowa line weuld not handle
the Car for over 100 miles. The con-
Meeting line would handle the same car
three to five times the distance and
allow the other line approximately half
the total freight. This it is now pro-
posed to stop AID the Iowa lines will
receive nothing more than the total of
the local charges from tho point of ship
ment to the junction point with Chicago
lines.
President Reinhart and several of the
directors of the Santa Fe road were in
the city en- route to atte nd the annual
meeting of the road at Topeka Thurs.

Insurance Rates Rails ad.

( Sioux FALLS, S. D., Oct. a4.-The
contemplated raise in the insurance
tates of this state has been made. The
lift is a horizontal one of 20 per cent on
Ill except low grade risks. The insur-
hnce losses in Sioux Falls iii 1898 will
more than wipe otit the total premiums.
The losses SO far amount 10 1851,
while the premiums net to the COM
Ipanies are hot over S3l,sOu But in
Sso2 the premiums exceeded the losses
by 100000 and in the ten years from
fss2 to 1892, the premiums were largely
In excess OF the losses. In the state
local agents say that the losses We're
much below the net premiums and they
cannot understand why the rate should
be raised in South Dakota, because the
losses have been 80 heavy in North
Dakota.

hef Ofattude,
PARIS, Oct. sG.-The following note
was communicated to tho press this
morning in behalf of the visiting Rus
sian naval officers:
Admiral Avelan and his officers have
been deeply moved at the reception they
have met in the capital They offer to
the Partisan populace a sincere express
sion of their gratitude. All they have
seen and heard will remain forever en-
graved upon the depths of their hearts
frances friends in Russia. They send
forth to France all the best wishes of
their Eeurts.
The most notable feature of the gala
performance given last night at the
opera in honor of the visiting Russians
was the ballet, which is pronounced to
have been the finest ever produced in
France. Upon the conclusion of
the performance the artists, ut
tired in Russian costumes. passed
before the curtain md were
received with immense plaudits by the
spectators One of the performers, who
was dressed to represent Ivan the Ter
rible, sang the Russian anthem and the
whole house rose at him cheering and
crying "Nive La Russia!" "Nive La
Frnncta "Nive l. Alliance!" A cannon
shot from the rear of the stage ushered
in the final scene, the apothy
of pence. This evoked further enthu-
siastic cheering and then the specta-
tors joined in singing the "AIarseill-
aise. Admiral Avelan was very evi-
IDENTIFY carried away by the enthusiasm
( that was everywhere manifested, and
springing to his feet, faced the
audience and shouted Viva La
France!" To describe the scene that
followed is we'll nigh impossible. The
audience was almost delirioHs with
pent up enthusiasm and it is doubtful
if the opera house or any other
place of public entertainment will
ever be furnished Il scene of
such wild excitement. During the
entire act Admiral Avelan and the
other Russian officials visited the green
room where they were the recipients
Of most cordial attention. The Rus
slams left Paris on their way to Lyons
at 2 o'clock this morning.
