Railroads CuttIng Passenger Rates In Or
der 90 Secure Their HauIiag.
The rush Of emigrants returning for the win
ter TO their homes in Europe has caused trouble
among the passenger agents OF the trunk lines
and railroads in the Central Trafic Association.
Owing TO the small amount OF business Offering
last autumn. east-bOund passenger rates from
Chicago became demOralized. At a meeting
held in Buffalo recently between representatives
Of railroads in the two associations an agree
ment was sOlemnly made that after Jan. l all
rates should be restored 10 the full tATin. and
that no further cutting should be allowed. All
the agents prOmise 10 use every effort 10 pre-
vent any further Generalization IL Is believed
that the Pennsylvania. New York Central Lake
Shore, Michigan Central and Erie have kept
faith, but that the West Shore, Nickel Plate,
and some OF the other weaker lines have cut the
second class or emigraDt rate almost Ia half.
This class OF business pays well At the rate Of
$40 from Chicago 10 New York, and some OF the
lines have thought there was money in II at a
good deal lower figure. Passenger agents ia
this city yesterday said that they had discoy-
cred that rates as low as IS and 50 from Chi
cage 10 New York had been made. They expect
a great rush this week because of the, desire of
the emlgrants to reach their old homes for
Christmas. and sharp competition for the husi-
ness Is predicted. Those who are returning are
principally scandinavian and Italians

A Federal Injunction Issued Against the
crewmen Convention.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 10.-Judge Pardee OF the
United States Circuit Court to-day granted the
injunction asked for by the West Indian and Pa
ciic Steamship Company against the Screw
mems Association, a labor organization which
largely controls the loading of cotton vessels.
The labor troubles began here in October. when
the white workingmen refused to let the ne
groes work. attacked them when they tried to
work, threw their tools overheard, and shot
some of them. Mr.. Saunders, agent OF the West
Indian and Pacific Steamship Company, np-
pealed to the city and State. but was not salts
fed with the protection given him. In the
meanwhile the wharf Of his company was
burned, with $500 bales Of cotton, inflicting q
loss OF 100000 on the company. The fire was
of incendiary origin and was generally attrib-
uted to the " mite 1aborers.
A suit was then filed in the United States court
asking for an injunction against the screymen
prohibiting them from interfering with the
negroes at work on the steamships, on the
ground that 1t interfered with Interstate COM
merce., Tn suit was brought a month ago and
decided to-day, the Injunction being granted
against the Screwmen's Association and by
name against Its several officers. The associa-
tion is the strongest labor organization in ths
city. has S100. 900 in its treasury and an annual
income of $4,000, although small in numbers.

BERLIN, Dec. 1o.-Baron Won Berlepsoh, Prus-
sian Minister Of Commerce, has rendered his
resignation to the Emperor, owing TO differences
with his colleagues in the Ministry.
The fall Of Freiherr Won Berlepsch. like that Of
Count Won Caprivi. will cause great rejoice
ing among Bismarck's friends. Berlepsch was
the stormy petrol Of the old regime in its
latter days. Bismarck had been Minister Of
Commerce for many years when this forerunner
Of the new era in the German empire made his
Appearance. He had taken the Ministry that
he might better accomplish his great tariff re-
form project. which transformed Germany from
n free-trade country into the foremost champion
Of protection on the Continent. This transfer
nation was regarded by Bismarck rs his mas
terpieco In domestic politics, and, despite his
burdensome and manifold duties. he chung to
the portfolio of with n peculiar af-
When. in the winter Of 1880, the great coal
strikes raised the first serious difference be-
tween the old Chancellor and the new Emperor,

this. At n Cabinet meeting. early in 1890, the
Emperor laid the Berlepsch reforms before his
Ministers, but without mentioning the reformcr's
The Emf " Y persisted. Eventually Bismarck

We'll. IA your Majesty has really found a
man able to do all these things. j would suggest
that he be made Minister Of Commerce, for the
present Minister of Commerce Bismarck him
self Is not equal to the task"
The Emperor replied promptly. that he ac-
cepted the suggestion, and two DAYS later the
appointment of Berlepsch was announced.
The change was recognized throughout Ger
many rs the prelude to an ominous conflict of
opinions between Chancellor and. Emperor. A
few weeks later the conflict ended with Bis
marck's fall.
Berlepsch has long been in sympathy with the
so-called social reformers. who In Germany are
tinged with state socialism. He conducted the
proceedings OF the labor Conference which the
Emperor called in Berlin In 1890, and lie Ia the
author of the voluminous laws passed in that year
by the Reichstag for the protection of working
men, IL his dismissal means anything. It is that
the Emperor has given up his elaborate pro-
Rrammo for the benefit of the workingmen, for
MS long as the imperial labor policy was In evil
dence Berlepsch was known to be its most active
promoter in the Cabinet. No man OF similar
views Is now left near the Crown.

CUBA.
A Revoiution Threatened on Aeeount OF
the Cortcs's Action,

New ORLEANS, Dec. 10.-A letter received
here from Cuba announces that the people Of
that island are very discontinued with the ac-
ton Of the Spanish Cortes In refusing to pass
the bill for the reformation of the Government
OF the island and its postponement until next
year. and that a revolution Is threatened in con-
sequence. The Cuban Reform bill was intro
duced in the Cortes by ex-Minister of Colonies
Maura, and was accepted with enthusiasm by
all Cubans as opening the way to the radical
change In the administr ration OF the Govern
ment which Is demanded by the Cubans.
The postponement has created a critical con-
dition Of affairs even in commercial circles. A
meeting OF the leading planters of the island
was held. at which resolutions were passed pro-
testing to the home Government against the
condition of things here, and demanding GER
tain reforms, such rs the abolition of export
duty on the principal products. sugar and to-
bacco. which to-day are suffering considerably
through political and economical degeneration.
The planters made very strong speeches in
this meeting. all Of them denounclng in the
strongest terms the policy of Spain toward this,
her richest colony. One of the most influential
planters ended his address by saying:
" III we cannot obtain from Madrid anything
but celestial promises it Is time that we follow
the example OF our powerful neighbors. the
United States, and that Is, gentlemen, throw
