mcrcc Commissioner Martin A. Knapp
has written an open letter to senator

the lattcr's criticism of him in connection
with the new trunk line agreement. The
conclusion of the letter is rs follows: 1T
is evident that no combination of carriers,
whether formed in evasion of existing
laws or organized under legalized pooling.
can be more powerful or alarming than
their actual consolidation. In the New
England states the process of absorption
In one way or another has gone on until
there Is now practically no competition in
the railroad service of that section
so Tar as / am aware this consolida-
tion has not resulted in any increase of
charges but on the contrary has been at
tended by considerable reductions in rates,
by improved facilities and the better ac-
cor.modation of the public. Fewer COM
piait.vs come to us from that region than
from any other part of the country. l be-
licvc that the people in that territory
would not welcome a return to compcti-
tive conditions. am yet to be convinced
that similar results might not fairly be
expected IL cooperative action should be
substituted for compulsory warfare on a
broader scale and in more extensive fields.
In short believe that the principle of as.
socation should be applied to public trans
portation; that the power to regulate
commerce. should BE- exerted to secure
firm and unqucstioned control of the rates
and charges which carriers may exact"

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3O.-Lawyer W.
a. Shoemaker had another long con-
ference in Moyaneming prison with
his client. the alleged wholesale muir
-1erer, II. H. Holmes. during which the
prisoner protested his innocence of
completely in the killing of Howard
Pietzel, whose bones are said to have
been found in a dwelling neal Indian
apolis.
Holmes states that he is almost Ger
tain hat the fragments of human
bones unearthed by the detectives are
those of the missing lad. but declares
that the boy was murdered by the
mysterious Hatch. lie further posi-
lively asserts that Hatch killed both of
the other Pietzel children. WhenDetec-
tive Geyer returned from the west he
called upon Holmes, and was fur
nished with a clew that led him to In
dianapolis.
Holmes appeared to be willing and
anxious to aid the detective in loca-
ting Howard Pietzel, and gave Geyer
valuable information that led to the
finding of the bones. Mr.. Shoemaker
saws that his client can prove beyond
a shadow Of a doubt that he could not
possibly have killed young Howard

A FRIEND IN E
The Belmont Morgan Syndicate Still
S%tandin by the United States
Treasury Gold Reserve.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3I.-It is gener-
ally recognized here in official circles
that the acknowledgment syndicate
will not permit the treasury gold re-
serve to fall below the 500. 900, 900
mark. Four times they have come to
the rescue when such Il result would
have followed constant drains on the
reserve for shipment to Europe.
Yesterday, at the last moment, the
syndicate deposited 81, 900. 600 in gold
in exchange for legal tenders, without
which the gold reserve would have
dropped below the limit.
At 1870 o'clock Assistant Treasurer
Jordan at New York telegraphed that
60, $50, 900 in gold had been withdrawn
for export to Europe. This reduced
the treasury gold reserve to 500, 49,
GA.
At 3:35 o'clock a telegram from Mr..
Jordan announced that the syndicate
had deposited 81. 600, 900 in gold, which
raised the treasury gold to 500, 49,.
354.
So far the syndicate has deposited in
excess of the gold required for its sG2,-
400, 900 in bonds nearly $40, 900, 900 to
keep the reserve intact.

SHEEP AND WOOL.
Some Figures that Will BE of Interest to
Sheep-Owners.

Boston. Sept. 1.-The National As
ISOLATION of Wool Manufacturers will
publish in its September bulletin the
results of its Investigations concerning
the wool clip for 1895. The wool
product is put at 294, 900, 726 pounds,
washed and unwashed. including 49,
600, 900 pulled wool, against 25,210,-
7l2 pounds in 1894. Reduced to
a secured basis, the total product
is placed at 125. $50 pounds.
The number of sheep on the LIST
Of April is estimated at 80. 49,
5ss. and the average weight of fleece
was $685. pounds, the slight variation
arising chiefly from the reduction in
weight in Pennsylvania, Colorado and
Oklahoma. in most cases where the
weight of fleeces has been reduced
there will also be a reduction in the
shrinkage between the condition of
the wool as sheared and its secured
state. This is caused in most instances
by the crossing of merinos with other
breeds, the result being a fleece of less
weight and containing less yolk or
STUNT. and therefore of lighter shrink
age, although the change has in some
cases resulted from a dry season.
