SERIOUS RATE WAR
ONE THAT MAY MAKE a BIG HOLE
IN RAILWAY EARNINGS.
Tariff on All Classes of Freights
SIashed i'm All Directions from
80 to so Per Cent.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The freight officials
OF the Western roads are now apprehensive
that they are confronted by the probability
OF one Of the worst rate wars they have
ever experienced. Rates in every direction
and of every class are being cut anywhere
from 80 TO so per cent. The collapse of all
the freight money pools and the bursting
of the Southwestern Association has left
the Western Freight Association the only
organization in the West by which freight
rates are being maintained at all, and even
it seems powerless to avert in any way the
derporalization which has been spreading
for the last two months. The action of the
Union Pacific yesterday in reducing rates
knocked about the last prop from under
the schedules, and there is nothing but
shattered tariffs in sight in every direction.
This is the view of some of the most con-
seryative officials of the Western lines,
and everything at present seems TO point
to the accuracy of their conclusions.
Against the trouble in the freight line, the
passenger business shows up brightly, not
withstanding the trouble the lines have ex-
per1enced in forming agreement. There
has been for some time a steady and con-
tinual increase in passenger earnings. This
in itself is no very important factor in
the statement of earnings for. under
normal conditions, the passenger depart
ment is not able to contribute over one
third of the earnings Of any road, but it
The greatest increase in passenger earn
ings is in local traffic, showing that il is
the people generally and not those of the
large cities only, that have had their hopes
revived and their expectations stimulated.
The circumstance indicates a general re-
storation of confidence which is about all
that is needed TO bring in a full tide Of
prosperity again.
Rates for Packing House Products.
OMAHA, Neb., June 15.-Instead OF a re-
dicted throughout the territory, it looks
very much as if the packing house rates
would be further demoraiized by the action
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas in making
a 1o-cent rate packing house products
from Kansas City 10 ST. Louis. The Bur-
lington having learned of the action on the
part of the Katy and realizing the great
Importance of protecting its South Omaha
interests and the packers, announced at
noon to-day that effective Immediately it
would make the same rates from Omaha
to the Mississippi river, with corre-
spending reduction TO Cnicago and Peoria.
This rate leaves fresh meat entirely un-
touched and is made 10 counteract the
rate of the Katy from Kansas City TO
ST. Louis, which, if allowed to go un-
noticed, would have resulted in most un-
warranted discrimination against South
Omaha. The Burlington, however, has
jumped into the fight and at headquari ers
IT was given out that everything would
be done to protect the packers or South
Omaha from discrimination on the South.

HONG KONG, June 15.-News of a dis

the commander of the British cruiser Spar

Foreigners Now Protected by the
Jananase Authorities.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Japanese
legation to-day received an official dispatch
from the Foreign Office, summarizing the
status of affairs on the Island of Formosa
as follows: At Tai-Phu-Fu and Tam
Sui, the two large cities in the north, all
disorder is at an end and peace estab-
lished. The japanese have put into opera
tion civil system of administration. Ger

cablegram is quite satisfactory to the Off
Gals here Ii gives the flrSt information
of the landing of German marines. The
cause of their landing is not known, but
their withdrawal indicates that the protec-
ton they may have afforded to German
interests is no longer necessary. The men,
,tion of the establishment of civil system
shows that martial law, which was in oper-
alton when the Japanese fleet and army
first arrived, has given place quickly 10 an
orderly municipal system. No mention is
made of the reported uprising of the Black
Flags. All earlier dispatches to the Foreign
Office stated that the japanese took pos
session of the place mentioned on June Z,
since which time there has been no signs
of the Chinese soldiers who had caused the
trouble, nor of the natives who had sought
to set up a republic

in command of the Asatic station, has sent
the Petrol from Shanghai to Hankow. This
last named point is about six hundred miles
up the Yang-Tse river above Shanghai, ana
is in the direction of the provinces where
the recent riots occurred. Hankow is many
miles from the scene of the riots, but 1t is
presumed the Petrol is sent up the river

this was the name of her own son,

that the increased extraction of juice
has improved the trash as fuel so as to

THE CRUSHER is strongly built,
the rollers are made of solid steel rings
on the shafts. The pinions are all of
steel and the spurwheel is provided with
segment rim. Its speed is about the
same as the mill rollers, thereby giving
comfort and safety in running. 1t is so
constructed, that should iron parts, such

at Tennis.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Nov.
80. - On Thursday or Friday of next
week DR.. Gilbert will leave the university
in company with three students of his
selection for collecting expedition to
Central America. Accumulation of rare
species of marine life is the special object
of the trip, the outline of which was first
announced in The CALL several weeks ago.
During the coming week the Carnot
medal debaters will be assigned sides, and
from now until the intercollege debate for
the Conbertin prize takes place there will
be an increasing degree of interest taken
in this debate. M. de Conbertin last year,
In order to stimulate interest among
American students in French contem-
porary history, offered his beautiful prize.
1t is a gold medal, called the Carnot
medal in honor of the late French Presi-
dent. The contest for the medal is open
to students of the two universities, who
are to debate upon some current French
topic. The medal becomes the private
property of the winner, which fact causes
a greater number to strive for the prize
than might otherwise be induced to enter
the contest. Last year Sandwich '95 of
Stanford won it. This year the number of
contestants in the preliminaries promises
to be much in excess of last years number.

+ SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 30.-In the pro-
ceedings before Judges Lorigan and Rey-
nolds on the motion for new trial of the
Barron will case, III. V. Morehouse took
up one hour of the courts time this morn
ing to conclude his argument on behalf Of
George E. Barron, the contestant.
M. c. Hassett followed and spoke for an
hour in opposition to the motion. Judge
CARRIER began his closing argument at IL
O'Clock, and spoke nearly three hours, re-
viewing the previous arguments and point
ing out the law in regard to the motion
for the new trial.
He made a mastery plea for his clients,
the three minor children of Eva Rose
Barron s. +. Leib took an hour
and three quarters to present the
case of Eva Rose Barron. He argued
that if the second wife had
any influence over Edward Barron she
would have induced him to make will
Immediately after the marriage, but the
evidence showed that no will was executed
until the couple had lived together four
years.
"Mrs. Barron was faithful wife for
fourteen years" said Mr.. Leib, "during
which time she cid not get even paltry
$l00 from her husband. She wanted a
home in San Francisco and begged her
husband to do that much for her, but he
never did. That does not look as though
she had undue influence over him.

ment in just three minutes, and at 5

CRAZY HORSE At SANTA ANA.
Arthur Lyons Animal Frightened Unit,
He Became a RaWng Horse
Mnni0c

SANTA ANA. CAL, Nov. 3o.-The IA
year-old family horse of Arthur Lyons of
this city was so badly frightened by a
parade of trained ponies and dogs that the
old fellow seemed utterly to lose his reason
and became raving horse-maniac.
He commenced proceedings by running
away with Mr.. Lyons, in spite of that gen.
tleman's efforts to control his aged pet.
Running through Robert Payne's yard, he
narrowly missed two children playing
there, demolished a clothesline, and finally
broke the cart to pieces, pitching Mr..
Lyons up into an apricot tree, where he
received number of painful scratches.
The horse then climbed cypress hedge,
and was there caught.
Upon reaching home with him, which
was accomplished with difficulty, Mr..
Lyons turned the old fellow into a corral,
where he again abandoned himself to a
perfect frenzy. He would dash from one
side to the other, utterly unmindful of the
fence, crashing into it with force that
threw him off his feet. Finally he broke
through the tence and dashed madly off,
and has not yet been captured.
The beast presented q terrible appear
ance. with bulging, glaring eyeballs and
open mouth, and gave every indication of
being crazy as loon.
