The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the AtchIson Rebates.

! Washington, Sept. 1.-THE Interstate
commerce commission has so far re-
ceived no facts nor proof that would
warrant a body lnstituting judicial
| proceedings against the Atchlson Of
flcials for making rebate payments.
Expert Little was In the city a few
! days ago and had short conference
with Col. Morrison chairman Of the
commission. 1t was at the latter's re-
quest that the expectation of the COM
mission that facts would be set forth
by Mr. Little sufficient to warrant the
commission in taking action was not
realized. Mr.. Little spoke Of the af-
fairs OF the Atchison In general way,
but gave no particulars on which the
prosecution could be based. one OF
the commissioners said today that the
commission had not yet considered a
clear case against the officials OF the
Atchlson, and that no steps would be
taken until additional facts are brought
to light, The case has been under
consideration for a long time and IAN
investigation was recently made in
New York. The members OF the COM
mission. with the exception OF Com
missioner Clements, are away from the
city, and as the fun board will not
again be In session for several weeks
considerable length Of time will
elapse before such steps can be taken
Commissioner Clements when seen To-
day said: what wOlld constitute
admissible proof before a court am
unable t. say. Mr.. Little was here aad
had a short conference with the chair
man but left no papers and no evidence
of any kind. He neither gave nor poin-
ted to any evidence in respect to par

Possibly from a strictly economical
standpoint the answer may be given,
No. says the Practical Farmer and
still few men can convince themselves
that 1t is the better way to store and
grind the grain that is to be fed upon
the farm. The Vermont and other
stations proved that II was an abso-
lutte waste OF both grain and fodder to
separate the ears from the corn stalk
the better way being to run both
through cutter and feed from the
manger. Now comes the Western men
and say that the best way to feed oats
TO cows Is to cut up straw and oats to-
gether and feed ungrOund, as the COW
In this way has no chance for choice I'm
the matter, and both grain and straw

Much Speculation ms TO what lie

Dor QuestIons-His Old Position
Not Likely to he Changed.

Austin, Sept. 14.--At this time pco-
pie are INDUCING In much speculation
as 10 what Attorney-Genernl culberson
VIII say in his opening speech at Co
Had on the 29th inst.
There is much to be said end on
many subjects. but the curiosity cen-
tiers largely on two subjects, towlt:
First. what will he say on the silver
question. and second. what will he
say with reference to the question Of
labor.
Mr.. Culberson has not Indicated what
his purpose Is. because he would not
care 10 anticipate his speech by maxi
ing an announcement that would reach
the public prints, but 1t may be put
down as certain that he win adhere
to the campaign speeches which he
made before his nomination.
During the canvass he advocated the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver at
the ration OF l6 to /, and from his
speech accepting the nomination and
after the adoption Of the platform.
there is no other Inference than that
his opinion on this subject has not
undergone any change. 1t IS known
that he believes the platform demands
double standard Of both gold and
silver and the maintenance OF the par.
ny between them. leaving open 10 .ne
views Of each individual Democrat the
question or ratio aud the volume of
silver that may be coined.
Judged by the speech he made ut
Garland during the campaign before

OF labor and no inimlcal legislation,

approved by him as governor. He Is
tmphutlcally the friend OF labor when
Tue iabOrlng men pursue their ayoca-
tions peaceably and without violence.
MT Culberson has often been heard
TO refer with gratlncation 10 the FACT
that he has had to work necessarily
ana laboritusly for all that he has
achieved aud relying ON no favorable
cltcumstances, he has won his way
ilto the hearts OF grateful Texans
