10 HEAD OFF HUNTINGTON
Conference of Railroad Represen-
tatiyes in Chicago.
May Combine to Meet the Alleged
Rate Cut IF the Southern Pa
cifc--Collis Accused of
Wrecking.

Karsas City, Mo-, Nov. ia confer
ence of representatives of the railroads
doing business between Chicago and
the states of Colorado. Wyoming, Mon
tana. Utah and Idaho, which is in prog
ress here today. gives promise of devel-
oping Into g. combination Of these roads
for the purpose of combating the al
legged rate cut of the Southern Pacific.
1t is claimed that Coils r. Hunting-
ton, president Of the latter road. antici-
pating the default of the payment to the
United States government next year OF
the S55, 900, 600 due Upon the bonds Of the
Central Pacific, and foreseeing the con-
sequent loss of that road, desires to d.
vert tlxe entire transcontinental traits
to the Southern Pacific by way of New
Orleans, to the end that the Central Pa
cific may be wrecked and be a worthless
property when the time comes around
for its forfeiture to the government.
The southern roads connecting New
York with New Orleans are friendly to
the Southern Pacific, but, independent
of these, the latter road has direct con-
nectioa with New York city by means of
Its steamship line. In pursuance of the
above plan, rates have been so cut that
goods a be shipped from New York
city to San Francisco jobGers, and by
the latter reshipped to Colorado, Utah.
Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming. at a low
er cost than is possible by direct route
from New York to Chicago and thence
to the states mentioned. The result Of
this discrimination has been to cripple
the western business Of many OF he
wholesale business houses of Chicago,
and has also caused an enormous fall
ing off in the earnings of the roads rum
ming west from that city. As these
roads, however, are dependent upon the
Southern Pacific for an entrance into
California. they have been cautious
about inaugurating a rate war, with a
view to regaining their lost traffic. Mat
tiers finally, however, reached such a
pass that today,,s conference was called.
and, although thN-meeting is held with
closed doors. 1t is thought that the
roads concerned will make a reduction
in rates, ven at the risk of jeopardizing
their California connections.

A SHAFT.

Iron Nation, n Late Sioux Chieftain.
Is to Have n Marble Monument
Over His Grave.
Yankton Press and Dakotan.
Among the works Of art under con-
struction at A.. A. Grants marble estab-
lishment is a monument to be placed at
the grave Of Iron Nation, who in his
lifetime was head chief of the Lower
Brule Sioux. He Is buried at Lower
Brule agency and there the monument
will be erected when it is finished. The
evolution Of the Indian is coming along
rapidly. Twenty years & the highest
post mortem ambition of the average
Sioux Indian was a resting place on q
high scaffold. out of reach of wolves
and bad spirits; or, perhaps. a comfort
able crotch up in a tree. Now a shining
white shaft OF marble. bearing a sculp-
tured name is none too good. In the
case of Iron Nation, the money for the
monument was raised by popular sub
scription among the Indians of the Low
er Brule band. He was in his day a
powerful chief-head Of one of the most
warlike of the Sioux bands. He has
earned enduring fame after the manner
of the Indian.

WORKING FOR HOLMES.
The Attorneys OF the Murderer Try

The Attorneys OF the Murderer Try
ing to Secure n New Trial.
Philadelphia, Nov. 1s.-Attorneys
Rotan and Shoemaker appeared before
Judge Arnold today, to show cause why
Henry Holmes. convicted a fortnight
ago. of murder in the first degree, for
the killing OF Benjamin f. Peitzel,
should be granted a new trial. The
court room was crowded with specta-
tors. The arguments of Holmes law
yers were very lengthy, being based
upon several scores of exceptions taken
to the rulings of Judge Arnold during
the trial. District Attorney Graham
was on hand to oppose the granting of
a new hearing. The prisoner showed no
signs today of the strain under which he
has been laboring during the past few
months. and especially during the two
weeks that have elapsed since his con-
viction of murder in the first degree.
Should a new trial be refused, an appeal
will be taken to the supreme court OF
Pennsylvania, n argument heard at
lis nexi session in this city, III January,
1896. So, ven II everything goes against
him, Holmes has yet some time to spend
upon the earth from which he is alleged
to have sent so many fellow mortals.

CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATIONS
AN 1mmense Mass Meeting Presided

An Immense Mass Meeting Presided
Over by the Duke of Norfolk.
London, Nov. 19.-The proceedings of
he convention of the National Union
of Conservative associations were re-
sumed at Brighton this morning, the
feature of the day being an Immense
mass meeting at the Dome. The gather
ing was presided over by the duke of
Norfolk, who appeared for the first time
as the president of the organization,
Lord Lordonderry's term of office ex-
pirinE today. AS had been anticipated,
Lord ~Salisbury's address dealt princi-
paily with the problem of the relief of
British agriculture. He reiterated hts
opinion that. despite the evil days which
have befallen it, agriculture is still the
largest and most Important of the ma
tional Industries of England, and that.
though the people no longer depend up
on home grown corn, they would be
compelled to do SO if any serious reverse
at sea We're to interfere with the import
trade. The premier laid special stress
on the latter point, saying that a -four
ishing condition of British agriculture
was a necessary guarantee of the re-
serve food supply which might prove of
inestimable value in war. Speaking of
the lowering of prices resulting from
free trade, and which had almost killed
agriculture" Lord Salisbury brought a
heavy charge against the men who were
responsible for the passage of that
measure. He did not condemn them for
that act in itself, but because they had
not been more c~onsiderate of the bur-
deEs under which land was laboring,
and did not tighten the weight of those
burdens When it could have been easily
lone. To tighten these burdens, he
said, was the purpose Of the present
government.
The premier took special occasion to
b those ardent protecttonists who
had perverted his utterances on this
subject into a panegyric of protection
and an onslaught upon the principles Of
free trade. What Lord Salisbury did
condemn was the want OF foresight
which first failed to perceive that free
trade must necessarily lower the prices
of English corn, and, second, did not
tax steps to remove some of the bur-
dens which the change would make it
impossible for the landed interests to
support.

Minneapolis. MINI, Nov. 19.-About
10 o'clock last night an express train on
the Great Northern railroad was held
up near ST. Cloud. The robbers were

the engineer then threw open the throt-
tie and pulled safely into St. Cloud with
the treasure. A special train with all
the city detectives on board left here
