night and says silver plank with rate

committee or he will bring the matter up
in the convention.
1t was expected this morning that the
friends of the administration would sue
ceed in smoothing things over so that the
administration would not be mentioned
and silver receive only a tacit ind0rse-
ment.
This was before the ruralites arrived.
Now that the farmer is here the situation
has entirely changed and there is no doubt
that silver will receive the strongest sort
of Endorsement. The makeup OF the plat :

RATES TO BE PUT UP.
This Is Decided Before Gould Is
Heard From.
If the Missouri Pacific Does Not Come
In 1t Will Catch the
Business.

CHICAGO, May 10. - The lines Of the
Western Freight Association have made
up their minds that freight rates from
Chicago to the Missouri River and from
the Missouri River to Chicago are much
too low and must go up. The presidents
of all the lines in the association met to-
day at the Office of Chairman Midgely and
decided that on May 26 all freight rates
wost of Chicago. both east and west
bound, should be returned to the schedule
in effect May 1. This includes Colorado
business as well as other business in the
territory os the association. The roads
represented at the meeting announce that
they intend to hold their rates no matter
what lines outside the association m ay see
fit to do.
A telegram announcing the action taken
at the meeting was sent TO George Gould
of the Missouri Pacific and President Rein
hart of the AtchisoD, asking them 20 CO.
operate with the association lines. Answers
TO these kilograms are expected to- morrow.
The rates which will go into effect May 90
are the rates which existed before the re-
cent reductions were made.
The Western Passenger Association
lines are waiting to hear from the Atch-
son as TO whether it will accept the propo-
sition published last week for the solutio n
of the troubles of the association before
taking any action themselves. A meeting
is called for tomorrow and an answer is
expected by that time. The majority of
the association lines are firm in he opin-
ion that the answer will be agreeable, and
that the troubles of the association for the
time being will be over. 1t is difficult 10
see how the Atchison can do anything but
accept the proposed arrangements. as the
other lines have conceded everything it has
asked of them.

FIRE AND WATER
Spouting From the Greatest Gas Well
i'm the World.

TOLEDO, May 14.-The largest gas we'll
in the Ohio or Indiana fields was drilled
out at Horace Farm, west of Fostoria to-
day. The lease is owned by the Chicago
Oil Company, and the we'll was started
last week in territory which was consid-
cred worthless. 1t came in at O'Clock
this afternoon, and when the tools were
thrown out the workmen had to run for
their lives. The drillstem and rope were
thrown fully 800 feet. The we'll is esti-
mated at 50,oOO,0OO feet of gas per day, the
largest we'll on earth. The gas caught fire,
and as result the wells are blazing in
many places. The flames shot up 100 feet
above the treetops. A curious feature is
that in a hundred places water is spouting
through the ground to the height of ten to
twenty feet.

REVENUES VERY LOW
DECREASE OF 100000 900 IN FOUR
TEEN DAYS OF THIS MONTH.
Probable Deficit of SE7,OOO,OOO Dur
Fiscal ~Year-Cause of the Loss.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The revenues
OF the government nave fallen off almost
$13. coo. coo in round figures for the first
fourteen days Of this month, compared with
the last half of August. The receipts from
customs for the first fourteen days Of this
amounted to 50, 227, 900, in round num-
bsrs, against s6,730,000 for the last half of
August, while the receipts from internal.
revenue were burt &. 292. 600, compared with
so, s64,W0 for the latter half Of August.
The loss is due to the enormous sums paid
on the whisky which was withdrawn for
consumption just before the new tariff act
the tax from 80 cents to s;.10
per gallon went into effect, Aug. %. The re-
ceipts from internal revenues for the first
fourteen days OF the month dwindled TO
81. 972, 600, about A.5O0,oN below the normal.
and were not counterbalanced by the in
crease in the receipts from customs due
to heavy importations under the reduced
rates Immediately following the enactment
Of the new law. The custom receipts in
creased about 5000. 900. The receipts from
internal revenue are now confined almost
entirely to the tax paid on beer, cigars,
cigarettes and tobacco, and average about
$3.50. 900 per day. For the two months, July
and August, while so much whisky was
being withdrawn, the receipts averaged
over 81. 600, 600 daily. The normal withdrawal
of alcohol spirits, both for the arts and
spirits, amounts to S,500,000 gallons per
month, and the Treasury Department esti-
mates that about four months supply, in
addition to that for current use, was with
drawn during July and August. 1t is not
expected the receipts from the tax on
alcoholic spirits will reach normal again
before Jan. 1. 1895. This will have the eff
feet, 1t is believed, of keeping the receipts
of the treasury down to about two-thirds
of the normal, or in other words, to about
So. coo. 900 per month until Jan. l, the nor
NAL receipts averaging about $32,OO0,NO or
SIS, 900, 900. The m il should be sta
ted. leaves out of account any large in
crease Of importations arising from the
operations of the new tariff law.
The expenditures have averaged about
$4,000 600, but without the sugar bounty,
which is now a thing of the past, they will
be reduced to about 31.0o0,0o0 For the next
ceipts will be about $SS, COO, 600 and the ex-
ever, the collection of the income tax for
the last six months Of the current year will
take place, and this will swell the receipts
to about 800. 0c0. 900, so that at the begin
ming of the next current year the treas
ury, when the receipts Will resume their
normal figures, would be on the wrong side
OF the ledger about S24, 0O0,0 600 or the first
half of the present fiscal year. There Is
to be deducted from this, however, 100000
which the treasury gained during July and
August, leaving a net loss to the treasury
for the first half of the fiscal year Of about
ST.. OO0. 900.

the entire fire department of the city into
service. Before the flames We're under
avenue were in ruins, Nos. 320, 322 and 324
were Quilted and the stock of No. 314 badly
damaged. At 8 O'Clock three nremen fell
on the first floor and one went through
