The commission will sit to listen to
complaints lodged with them by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company of
Pueblo and George j. Kindel, mattress
manufacturer, of this city. The COM
plants are to tho effect that freight
rates to and through Denver are unjust,
and arbitrary. On these complaints
hinge contingencies Of great Importance
30 Important, In fact, that tho Southern
Pacific road IL now represented In Den
yer by Its general solicitor with the
avowed intention OF exertlny every
means within Its power to prevent the
Iron company and Mr. Kindel from OBJ
tanning what they ask for. II Is claimed
by Vice President Stubhs OF the South
ern Pacific road Of California that a
decision favorable to the cpmplalnants
will mean the complete overturning of
every through rate to California and in
that way effect every trnnscontinental
road In the United States.
Reduced TO brevity, Colorado mer-
chants complain that It costs rs much
to ship goods to this state from New
York as It does to ship from New York
to California; they contend that they
ought to get Il lower rate, so that this
may be made n distributing point and
so encourage business. They also claim
that 1t costs no more TO ship goods from
Chicago TO the Pacific coast than II does
from Denver. although there Is one
third longer haul The contention is
that Denver manufacturers and mer-
chants should receive the benefit of be
Ing one-third nearer to the Pacific coast
market than Chicago. The New York
and Chicago merchants aided, MS they
are and now represented by the trunk
line solicitors, claim that they must
make the low rates they do TO the Paci-
ilc coast In order to meet with water
competition. The Denver merchants
deny this, and say the water competi-
tion Is but an excuse for evadlng the
law, as low rates are made on speciuii-
ties which could never stand an ocean
voyage. Whatever may be the result
Of the hearing before the commits
sion, Denver and all Colorado cities
have everything to gain and nothing to
lose. and the railroads running into the
state will hear some unkind things said
about them.

Denver, April 20.-Eor some time a
rumor has been In circulation, says the
Times, that the Union Pacific intended
to abaiidon the Iulesburg line and run
its trains between Denver and the
Overland line via the Denver Pacific.
Tho matter has been inquired Into
once or twice, with nothing satisfactory
or definite being obtained. To-day 1t is
learned. however, that the order has
gone forth from Omaha and that the
change Will be made on May /.
The movement is said to be one of re-
taliaiion on the part OF the Union Pnci-
iic. Accusations have been made that
the Gulf has been guilty of violating
the agreement whereby that manage
ment was permitted TO operate the
Julesbrg line about one year ago.
The charge made Is that the Gulf has
been handling business for the Bur-
lington ut Sterling. or has delivered
freight 10 the burlington at tlidt point
which should have gone to the Union
Pacific. The statement is made that
the order has been issued from Omaha,

Amount OF 100000.
New York, April 1.-THE disclosure
Of a great case Of undervaluation at
tho custom house has caused tho cOilec.
tor of the port, James Kilbreth, much
annoyance. Tho amount of the UNDER
valuation Is said to 10 100000. O. H.
Sypher, an importer Of antique f,n'ni-
ture, has been Importing goods at q
greatly undervalued rate. The matter
was brought to tho attention of the
custom authorities through a dis
chargci. employe of the firm named L.
H. Todd.
For Years he was head salesman Of
the firm knowH ts o. i. Sypier & Co.
The firm, he declared, wore continually
importing loving cups, trays, and In
fact all kinds of silver rs old silver
and paying tho duty on old silver.
which Is four shillings six pence an
ounce. The goods are said to have
been worth ten times more than tho

Tho case has been under investlga-

said tonight: '"rhree years ago when
Sypher & Co. suspended, special agents
suspected they had been engaged in H.
legal practices, but they carried away
and secrcted all their documents In q
cellar In Mount Vernon. The customs
authorities investigated the matter,
but 1t was never completed and the
officials were very much annoyed"
Colonel Phelps thinks efforts have
been made to stop the investigation.
The official upon whom opprobrium IL
cast Is said to be Eugene Honeywell.
He is said to have been In collision
