VIII Hold an Important Meeting in
Chicago Today.

Chicago Today.
CHICAGO, April 20.-The TRANSMITS
souri, committee Of the Western Pas
senger association will meet in this
city next Thursday to consider the
question of party rates. The same diff
ference of opinion prevails among the
roads in this section of the association
as divides the roads in the eastern
committee. Some Of them want the
rates abolished and others wish the
party rates applied to all parties of
ten no matter whether it is or it is not
an organized party. An effort will be
made to settle the matter at Thurs
days meeting The party rate matter
was slated for discussion at the Den
yer meeting of last week, but the roads
could do nothing with it then, and 1T
was decided to call special nesting
for this week. 1t is reported that the
legal advisory of the Union Pacific have
advised the officials of that road that
hereafter there must be on the part of
that road no deviation from the pub
fished tariffs, and it is further stated
that all of the officials have received
orders to cancel any contracts that
may have been made looking toward
cut rates in any direction. All rates
are to be rigidly maintained at all
times unless the competitors of the
Union Pacific take it into their heads
to cut the rates, then the Union Pacific
will meet any low tariffs that are put

What the Trial Trip of the Indiana
Has Proven.

What the Trial Trip of the Indiana
Has Proven.
NEW YORK. April 20.-The battle
ship Indiana, the biggest United States
warship, steamed from Hampton Roads
up the coast on Saturday with the ma
val board OF inspectors. She has ap-
peared off the highlands. This is the
Indiana's first visit to this port. The
inspection board came ashore and took
the first train for Washington. The
board are to determine and report on
the advisability of having the turrets
on the new warshlps as they are on the
Indiana, the 8-inch guns over the 13-
inch guns, or to place them as they
are on the Kearsage and Kentucky.
Naval sharps claim there is a saving of
weight in placing one turret above an
other, but the firing of the upper guns
is liable to stun the men in the turret
below. Two shots were fired on the
way up. Lieutenant Henderson was in
the hold below the 8-inch guns aft and
experienced no bad effects.
Lieutenant Commander William Swift
says, that the Indiana has shown her
self to be a very able fighting ship and
that she was the best sea boat he was
ever aboard
The battleship will remain six weeks
in I'ort Her decks are to be calked
and some repairs made to the machin-
cry.

FIRE CHIEFS MEETING.
Rumor That it Was Not Coming
Here is DispeIIed.

1t was announced yesterday after
noon that grave doubt existed as to
whether the National Association of
Fire Chiefs would come here this sum-
nler to hold its annual meeting; that
the insurance men of the city had de-
clined to take any action, and that I'M
less they did SO, the meeting would not
be held here. but at some other place
Captain Donnell was seen in relation
to the matter and said no application
had been made to the board of under
writers, and even if there was he had
grave doubts as to its doing anything,
unless perhaps the members thereof de-
sired to take some action as individ-
uals. Several insurance agents ex-
pressed themselves in the same man
ner. I'm

Of the character alluded to, and that
while there was a possibility some
time ago that, owing to disturbance
in the fire department., the meeting
would prefer to go somewhere else,
with the settlement of unsatisfactory
conditions, the executive committee
had decided to come here.

1t is stated that the United States
district attorney at Chicago has decid-
ed to begin the trial of ex-President

ager John A. Henley of the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe on May 49, The
charge is that of violating the inter
state commerce law by giving special
freight rate to certain shippers of
cattle to the Chicago market. Indict-
ments were issued, but the govern
ment apparently despaired of obtain
ing evidence to support its charges.
The supreme court decision compelling
testimony by witnesses even if they
may thereby incriminate themselves is
probably the cause of reviving the

Sweeney has been missing from Po-
mona for five days and his friends
and the police believe that he has been
killed. Search has been made for the
missing man since last Tuesday with

Sweeney was very tall and spare,
about 45 years of age. He came to Po-
mona last January for his health. He
said he had been newspaper man in
New York and Chicago and showed
several letters of Introduction from
prominent eastern journalists.
Two strange men called at the Euro
pean hotel on Monday evening, who
seemed to be old friends of his. To-
gether the three went out for a walk
among the orange groves. Sweeney
never came back. For a day or two it
was thought he had gone to visit San
Diego, but when Friday came and no
word was heard from Sweeney, Land
lord Coyle and Sweeney's friends put
the matter in the hands of the police.

out describing Sweeney and seeking in
formation as to his wflereabout but
