Western Railroads.

Chicago, Feb 6-The directors of the Chicago & Alton company met in this city yesterday and declared the regular quarterly dividend of two per cent.
 Authority has been granted the Rock Island and other trans-Missouri lines by the chairman of the Western Pas senger association to meet the competi- ton of the Denver & Gulf road in mak- ing a one-fare rate for the round trip between Colorado common points and New Orleans for the Madri Gras.
 Western roads have resented the ac- ton of the Seaboard Air Line in trying to secure the business of the Denver Mining Exchange to New York, and having received assurances from the Joint Traffic association that it would help No meet the competition on re strictive basis, have made proposi- tion to offer the party a rate of a fare and third for the round trip on the certificate plan. If the offer is accept ed by the members of the Mining Ex- change they must agree that they vii use the direct routes from Denver tc New York and return,
 The Chicago Great Western gave no tice to Chairman Caldwell of the West. ern Passenger association yesterday that under the rules of that organiza- tion it would extend the limit of tick cts to the G. A. K. encampment to thir- ty days.
 As the Western Passenger association has also refused to grant the Knights o1 Pythias anything better than one, 4I,- T +,,;,, 4, s+r,r elava, taking place in the same city 2 few weeks after the Grand Army o1 the Republic reunion, it is probable that organization will change the datt of it's meeting to the same time as tha' of the Grand Army of the Republic en campment, in order to take advantage of the one percent. per mile rate madt for that event.

HYPERION.


 little Christopher" which will be seen tonight, both matinee and night, is one of the few solid successes of the present road season, It is very bright and fascinating hodge-podge of clever comedy. tuneful melody and dlverting specialties. The clever comedian, Wll- He Collier, who now appears as oHoo- llgan, the Irish detective, has lifted the fun, particularly of the first act, won derfully. Yolande Wallace plays "LAt- tie Christopher as it never has been played before and sings and dances de- and with her dainty, charm ing specialties invariably wins encore after encore. Another big hit is made by John Wilson, the very funny tramp, assisted by Bertha Waring. Yolande Wallace looks prettier than ever, as does Pauline Train, while Alexander Clark and Louise Allen as the Bey and the Jay prove irresistibly funny. All the bewlderingly beautiful scenic cos tunes, light and color effects that help ed the piece to it's long run of 2S2 nights in New York last winter will be seen.

THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB.
Discussion Last Night Led by C. E. Curti .rI.

Discussion Last Night Led by c. E. Curtis
 New Members Proposed.
 At the meeting of the Social Science club held last evening at the club rooms in the Institute building, the discussion was on the subject of Railroad Rates and Regulations and was led by c. E. Curtis, with an able paper. Mir. Curtis showed that railroad rates have decreased during the last twenty years, while at the same time the net profits had decreased. The average rate paid on bonds has been between 4 and 5 per cent. and on stocks the average has been 1,65. More than 60 per cent. of the railroads of the country pay no dividends on stock. MT. Curtis also de- scribed the difficulties met with in building the first railroad through New Haven, and drew an analogy between government and private control of rail- roads. He said that government con- trol of railroads would of course in crease the number of offices at the dis posal of the government, and this would tend by the patronage to perpet- ually retain the ascendant party in power.
 After the paper the question was dis cussed by Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, Rev. Dr. w. w. McLane, James l.. Ccwles and others.
 The question to be discussed at the next meeting of the club will be ''To What Extent Can the External Condi- +iop of tha Ayara.cn NTa n fha Tronroxyad 2,, The discussion will be led by Robert Hunter.
 Charles Ray Parme1ee and w. w. Church were proposed last evening for members of the club.

Ut costs Little and poes Much.

Remark when you attend q play or concert how many people disturb the performance by coughing. One man begins and the cough seems to be con- tagious. The Interruption is a great nuisance, and there is no need of it, for anyone may cure cough with the Pineola BaIsam, which costs twenty five cents. It soothes the inflammation in the throat and loosens the mucus which clogs the air passages. A few doses of Ely's Pineola Balsam stop a cough and heal sore throat. f5 3teod 1tw

VISITED M'KINLEY.

Canton, Ohio, Oct. Shorty
after 8 o'clock this morning a
small but enthusiastic delega-
ton reached this city to call up
on Major Mckinley. The party
They was i Introduced to Major
p, Mckinley by A. p. Jenkins.
In the course of his address to
the delegation Major Mckinley
said:
"The point l want to make this
morning is this: That the gov
eminent does not create money,
but it cannot create money and
that whatever money it needs it
has to collect from taxes, either
by a system of direct taxation or
by a system of indirect taxation
known as tariff and that if the
government wants to have any
gold and silver just as you and l
would have to pay for it if we
wanted it for our purpose. The
idea tina the government can Gre
ate wealth is mere myth. There
is nothing that can create wealth
except labor. Is is easier to
raise this money by direct taxa
ton by taxing people in their Oc-
cupatiOn, on their property and
on their lands, or is it not better
to raise it by putting a tax upon
foreign products that come into
this country to seek a market in
the United States?"

UNCLE SAM SNUBBED.
TURKISH GOVERNMENT REFUSES
THE BANCROFT ADMISSION.
Grecian and Dutch Guardsbips Also Re-
fused Passage ofthe Dardanelles-
Situation In Crete.

ConstantinOpie, Oct. Copy
right by Associated Press-It is
semi-Officially announced here to-
day that the Turkish government
after weighing the matter over
and consulting with certain ad-
visOrs, has come to the cOnclu-
sion not to admit the United
States cruiser Bancroft through
the Dardanelles, and therefore
she will not be able to act as
guardship to the United
States legation in these waters.
The porte, it is added, also decid-
ed not to admit the guardships
of Greece and Holland, which
countries also proposed to have
a ship each stationed in the BOs-
phOrus as guardship and to
furnish men to guard their lega-
tons in case of emergency. 1t
should be added, however, that
the United States government is
not known to have presented
through its minister, Terrell, a
formal demand for the passage of
the Bancroft or any other United
States warship through the
straits of DardanelleS. and it is
recalled that Greece in 1888 was
allowed to have a guardship in
the BOsphOrus. The exact ground
upon which the Turkish govern
ment takes its stand in this case
is not stated but it is known in
official circles here that Russia
objected to the presence in the
BOsphOrus of United States, Gre
clan or Dutch guardshipS. The
Turkish government has also
sent a circular to the different
embassies demanding the right
to search foreign vessels passing
COnstantinOple for Armenians.
1t is believed the powers will not
accede to this request as up to
the present time Armenians who
have sought refuge on board
British or French vessels have
been escorted by guardships
here until the vessels on which
they had sought refuge sailed for
their destination.
Advices received here from the
Island of Crete state that the
crisis there is by no means ended.
The entire population of the in
terror of that island is still under
arms and their leaders have an
nounced that they will renew
hostilities unless the Turkish gar
risOns are withdrawn from Crete.

UNEASY BANK MANAGERS

New York, Oct. "A dispatch
to the Herald from Valparaiso
says: The minister of finance
held a long conference with the
managers of the banks and the
heads of Importance business
houses, with a view of devising
means to stay the commercial
crisis which is imminent. Many
foreign bank managers urge that
the measures adopted by the gov
eminent to restore normal finan-
cial conditions, were wholly in
adequate. They declared that
the only means of solving the
crisis was an announcement by
the government that it would
maintain the gold conversion
law at all hazards.
