S. r. DISSEMINATION.
Strong Complaint Made by the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company.


Pueblo, Cello, Feb. 19-The Colorado
Fuel and Iron company of Pueblo has
forwarded 10 Washington a petition to
the interstate commerce commission
praying that the railroads carrying
traffic from Chicago to the Pacific coast
be compelled to cease the discrimination
in their freight rates against Denver,
Pueblo ana other common points.
All or the western railroads are made
cause rates are established by the traffic
associations, but the complaint is really
directed against the Southern Pacific,
Which is the road alleged to be insisting
upon the discrimination complained of:
The discrimination. it is claimed by the
ipeudoner, absolutely prohibits any trade.
This is claimed to be apparent from the
fact that steel rails produced here by the
complaining company, can be laid down
al Dan FRANCISCO from English furnaces,
duty and manufacturing cost paid, for
less money than the freight tariff from
Colorado TO San Francisco.
The Southern Pacific Railroad company
takes the position according to the Fuel
the standard of the value of the carriers
service to San Francisco is the competi-
ton by water from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast seaboard. and that the
further its gets away from the Atlantic
seaboard into the interior or western
country, the higher the rates may be'
| In other words, they declare, according
to the petitioner, that the less service
! shall be, and in this way they discrim-
mate against all western manufacturers,
| and attempt to do away with natural
laws Of trade and natural advantages of
| location.
| The grievance Of the Colorado Fuel and
| iron company is shared by almost all of
| the western manufacturers, and to a large
! extent by western jobbers.

$4,000 TO $40, 900, and Albert 3. Whipple,
who was sent to the Fort Madison
prison in Iowa in December, 1855, ere
one and the same man.
YYhippIe was the agent of the Q. at
Coine, Ia, at that time. and though a
young man, soon attracted attention
by the rapidity with which he grabbed
business positions, and he was slated
for. an executive position with the COM
pany when a gigantic scheme, 1nVolV-
ing the forgery of a vast number Of the
company's tickets, was traced to him.
He had succeeded in GSpOSing OF q
large quantity when arrested and sent
to the Iowa state penitentiary.
A young woman of Coine, who was
desperately in love with him, enlisted
the sympathy of Congressman Hep
burn ana others, so that they inter
ceded with Governor Larrabee for his
pardon. He went west when released
and vowed never TO return. Upon his
release he secured q place with an
army officer ana later became q clerk
TO a quartermaster. He was stationed
as transfer agent Of the government
at RushVille ana Bordeaux, Wyo.. and
finally got army contracts at
Fort Robinson. He opened a
store at Crawford and one at Hyannis
and later a bank. One day his bank
at Crawford was entered and robbed,
he claimued, of $4,000. His steno-
grapher had been sent on an errand
and Whipple was alone at the time
of the alleged robbery Some one pas
sing heard d sm0thered cry and found
Whipple locked in the vault from
which his sten0grapher released him.
1t was thought impossible for him to
have locked himself in until Charles
Cradle, the banker, investigated and
found a fine wire leading inside by
which Whipple had been able TO throw
the bolt,
One stakeholder learned ne was
about to leave Crawford and went to
the bank with a gun and compelled
Whipple TO buy his stock, paying cash

who could moi have obtained bond even
as a night telegraph operator if he had

ENDS The SILVER FIGHT.
Hardly Possible TO Get a Vote on the
Jones Bill.

Washington. Feb. 19.-The silver
fight in the Senate is finished, and no
vote will be had on the Jones BILL The
one day devoted to that oil showed
conclusively that no amount Of pres
sure would bring about a vote, and if
the silver bill was kept before the
Senate that 1t would result in defeat
ing the appropriation bills and force
an extra session. The silver men feel
that they have shown their strength.
and believe that they have gained a
substantial victory in securing the
promise of a vote on the resolution
presented by Mr.. Wolcott, declaring
the sense of the Senate. Although the
agreement was not entered into in the
Senate, all the senators present who
were opposing the resolution, agreed
privately that a vote should be had en-
the resolution tomorrow. 1t will be de-
bated somewhat, and senators will
briefly express their views. 1t is pos
sible to prevent vote if those who are
now parties to the private agreement
should decide to oppose it, as there was
no unanimous consent asked or given

agreed that there should be vote in
cluded Senators Aldrich, Platt, Chan

House and Senate ConfePees Come
Together on the Pension Bill.
Washington, Feb. 19.-The House and
Senate confereeg on the pension bill
have met and practically agreed upon
their reports. Three amendments We're
added to the bill in the Senate, and
these viii probably be accepted by the
House conferees with some verbal
changes, but none affecting their in
tent. One amendment is TO repeal the
law providing that no pension shall be
paid non-residents who are not citizens
Of the United States, except for actual
disabilities acquired in the service. The
committee requires the examining sur
geon to state the rating which they
think applicants are entitled to; the
third fixes Sc per month as the lowest
rate Of pensions to be paid.

Senators Cockerill. Blackburn and

agreed to the proposition.
The opponents of the Jones bill pres
ent said they we're willing there should
be a vote on the decIaratory resolution
believed that this private agreement
will be adhered to. This ends the sill
yer fight and the appropriation bills
will monopoliZe the remainder of the
session, with perhaps a vote on the
