Southern Pacific and connecting lines
. Pueblo Colo reducing the rates on
iron articles from Pueblo to San Fran
cisco IS per cent, in Pursuance of an
order of the interstate commerce com
mission to the effect that rates from

broughtSsomeltime ago by the Colorado
fuel and Iron company against the Col.
orado lines and connections, including
the Southern Pacific, before the com
mission, and decided in favor of the
shippers. Heretofore the rates from
Pueblo to San Francisco have been tht
same as from the Missouri river, although
there was difference of about 500 mile
in the haul.
The Southern Pacific and its allies
however, propose to fight the case in tn
courts, Tor they have appended TO thei
circular The following notice. .'Thes
rates are published persuant to an orde

StanSord,s Request.

San Francisco, May 3-After three
years litigation over the estate Of the
late Senator Stanford, Mrs. Stanford has
at last been able to pay the bequest of
$2,5oo,ooo which the senator left to Lee
land Stanford, Jr., university. This pay
ment means an assured income to the
great institution, no matter what may
happen to any person or persons, and
this assured income implies an end to
the financial stress that has been more
serious than anyone not admitted to the
inner history of the Stanford estate
knows. And this bequest has been paid
with such unusual promptness because Of
the energy and the management of Mrs
Stanfor.. herself. The bonds transferred
to the university draw interest at The
rate of $4,000 month.

Statement Made by Apostle Heber j.
Grant at Logan Yesterday.
Logan, May 3.-There was very
large attendance at the stake conference
today. In the morning, Apostle Grant
spoke on the position of the authorities
on the manifesto He took up the ques-
tons asked by the Journal, and answered
that Moses Thatcher had not been tried
nor judged, and said that it was wrong
to judge without hearing. 1t was his
belief, however, that Moses was In the
dark.
In the afternoon, Apostle Grant spoke
on obedience.
Joseph F also took the same text, and
said it was the duty of the Saints to fol-
low the advice of their leaders without
questions. He denied that the church
had sought to unite with the state; but
whenever its influence was used it was
for the good of the people.
The manifesto was then read by Apos-
tie Grant with emphasis on certein sec
tons
About two-thirds of those present
voted. From twenty to twenty. five
hands were raised against it.
Moses Thatcher, Jr., and wife stood
up and voted "No."
At a high council meeting recently
held three members refused to endorse
the manifesto-George w Thatcher,
Aaron Farr, Jr., and S. A. Langton,
Others, who had declared their opposi.
ton, did not oppose it,

1000 men employed as machinists,
boiler makers and blacksmiths at the
yards Of the Newport News Shipbuild
ing ard Dry Dock company went on a

with new lime keeping system inaug
urated there this morning. This system

gan that you are throwing into Mr.
Cleveland's face"
Mr.. Hill yielded tie floor temporarily
to Mr.. Pettigrew REP, S. d. fer a
speech on tariff and finance. The speech
was succinct record of the government
transactions for the last FIVE years Mr..
Pettigrew asserted his belief that the
recent financial scares had been purpose
ly worked by the present administration
in order to force congress to pass ad.
ministration measures, and after that to
compel financial transactions to "enrich
the favorites of the president, if not the
president himself"
There has been, he said, a deliberate
conspiracy on the part of the admins.
tration to break down the governments
credit. Mr.. Pettigrew spoke of the part
taken by 'former law partner Of Mr.
Cleveland" in negotiating the bond con.
tract with the Morgan syndicate The
senator said if some mayor or governor
or less favored individuality than a pres
ident had acted IN this way, "impeach-
ment or criminal prosecution would have
followed at once"
MIR. Pettigrew believed in searching
investigation which would "lay bare"
the secret features of the bond transac-
ton.
A sharp controversy occurred between
Mr.. Pettigrew and Mr.. Hill as to what
course Secretary Carlisle should have
pursued in awarding the forfeited
bonds. Mr.. Pettigrew asserted that the
award to Morgan & Co., was "rotten and
dishonest to the core"
Mr. Pettigrew also criticised MIR. Sher-
man for his recent tribute to the treas
ury administration.
"Who is more competent to express
such a tributei" asked Mr.. Hill "than
the distinguished statesman from Ohio,
himself secretary of the treasury"
THAT is matter of opinion" replied
Mr.. Pettigrew. II do not doubt that
the senator from New York aMd the
Morgan syndicate will forever proclaim
that the senator from Ohio is the best
authority that can be found, so long as
he openly endorses the plumber of the
people and the robbery of the treasury"
The bond resolution was laid aside,
Mr.. Hill retaining the Aoor, Mr. PETER
having concluded not to press for vote
tonight.
MIR. Allison asked when vote on the
bond resolution would be expected.
Certainly tomorrow" replied Mr.
PETER.
"Thel let time be fixed fer tomor-
row." said Mr.. Allison.
Mr.. Hill was quickly on his feet again.

hmilingly, "to fix date now for a vote"

says he Id not accept the pres

that he is practically out OF poll
tics, has no desire or thought of
leadership, that there are others at
Chicago who will have more infiu-

than he will, but that he considers
his duty as an American citizen
to do all in his power for
the good OF his country at

them needed at Chicago. He
shows that bimetalism has made
great strides in Great Britain and
