TRACK AND TRAFFIC NOTES
A New Western Freight Association Is
Organized
Which Makes 1t Reasonably Certain
That Rates Will Be Advanced.
Coast Lines Are Not Included.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The executive
officers of the western roads have prac-
tically completed their work of organ
izing a successor to the old Western
Freight association and it is reasonably
certain that the rates will be advanced
on November I'd as planned. The plan
of the new organization is modelled af-
ter that of the Southwestern Traffic as
sociation and two boards will consti-
tute its governing powers.
When the question of territory to be
covered by the new organization came
up for discussion it was discovered that
the proposition of the committee that all
the territory between Chicago, st. Louis
and the Rocky mountains be- included,
met with little favor from some Of the
trans Missouri lines. So persistent were
they in their opposition that the propo-
sition to take in the territory between
the Missouri river and Colorado common
points could not be carried and it was
therefore concluded to apply the pro-
tween Chicago, st. Louis and the Mis-
souri, river.
NO AGREEMENT.
NEW YORK, Oct 22.-Representa-
tives Of the Western Traffic associa-
tion and Of the Southern Pacific were
in conference here today over the ques-
ton Of western immigration rates.
While no conclusion was reached when
the conference adjourned until tomor-
row, 1t is understood that the Southern
Pacific expressed a readiness to enter
into an agreement 1,nder rerta ron.
ditions to end the rate cutting. These
conditions include a pledge that the
Southern Pacific agencies shall not be
subordinated to local agencies Of the
Western Traffic association.

WHEAT AND PRICES.
Predictions That Prices Will Not Rise
Higher-Indian Reports.

LONDON, Oct. 23-In discussing the
raising of the bank rate and the gold
movement the Daily News expresses
the belief that stocks Of goods of all
kinds in the United States must be
much depleted, and that Mckinley 8
election will hasten imports. The News
financial article says: 1.-THE Russian
wheat sellers still show great reserve,
offers from the Black sea being ex-
ceedingly scarce. 1t is an open question
whether they are not thereby playing
into the hands of the Americans, for
although the Russian crop is smaller
than last year, there must be consider
able surplus available for export. If
buyers only keep their heads cool they
will probably fill their wants cheaper
by waiting little. Our weakest point
is that British stocks have been allowed
to decline to an exceedingly low point"
A dispatch from Simla, India, to the
Times says: All of the railways have
raised their rates fbr grain from the
seaports to towns in upper and central
India. This should stimulate foreign i'm
ports.
There is nothing new to report in the
drought districts. No rain has fallen
lately. The advent of the northeast
monsoon is anxiously watched as it may
have a good rain in Madras, with heavy
showers in Hyderabad and the eastern
parts of the central provinces. Official
reports indicate that UP to the present
the rural population Of the northwest
provinces are fully employed in the or
binary farming operations. The gov
ernment has schemes cut and dried for
relief work In the shape Of feeder roads
small irrigation projects and minor rail-
way lines. The provincial governments
are closely watching for signs Of dis
tress.

Stirs Up a Hornets Nest in
England
DETAINED AT A CONSULATE
And Lives in Deadly Fear Of Being
Poisoned
Englishmen Demand the Prisoners I'm
mediate Release and Set the De-
tectives at Work on the Case.

Associated Press Special Wire
LONDON, Oct. 22.-The Globe pub
lished startling story Of the alleged
kidnapping and imprisonment Of Chi
naman in the Chinese legation here.
The newspaper says the Chinese gov
ernment learned in November last that
there existed conspiracy to seize the
viceroy at Canton as the first step to-
ward the overthrow Of the present
Manchu dynasty. The plot was discov-
cred by the premature importation of
400 coolies to Canton from Hongkong
to assist in the capture of the viceroy,
which aroused suspicion. Some of the
leaders were arrested and confessed.
One named Sun Yatsen escaped to
America, and thence made his way to
London. This man, who was a doctor,
it is alleged has been missing since Sat
urday week ago. Some of his English
friends claim that they learned he is
imprisoned at the Chinese legation; hav-
ing been seized by a couple of Chinese
at the foreign Office. The Scotland Yard
authorities have been notified, and de-
tectives are watching the Chinese lega-
tion to prevent the removal Of the doc
tor
The story is confirmed, although there
are various reports Of the manner in
which the arrest was made. Sir Halli-
day MacCartney, counsellor of the Chi
nese legation, has come out in an in
terview protesting strongly against the
statement that the man was captured
in the street.
HE was not even induced to visit the
legation" said Sir Halliday, but came
there of his own accord more than once
believing that he would not be recog-
nized, with view of spying on officials
there. He was recognized and arrest
ed"
Sir Halliday MacCartney claims the
man was Chinese subject, but declines
to give further information in the mat
ter. The mans friends In London, how
ever, claim that he is British subject
He has means of communicating with
his friends and he has conveyed to them
the intelligence that he will be poisoned
or starved to death, having had practi-
cally nothing to eat since his arrest.
Sun Vat Sen (the name of the prisoner)
practiced as a physician in the United
States before coming here. He arrived
in England on the steamship Germanic
on October 1st. The officials of the Chi
nese legation have fatty denied the
story that an English Judge was ap-
piled to by the friends Of Sun Vat Sen
for a habeas corpus, and have declared
the inability Of the Judge to interfere.
The Standard says in an editorial on
the episode: IF the man was kidnapped,
Great Britain has right to demand
his release. It is quite clear that he
cannot be executed or submitted to an
inquisitorial examination while within
our shores. We trust the government
Of China will realize the Importance Of
the issue and will retire with good grace
from an untenable position"
The Daily News says: "The right Of
extra-territoriality merely protects the
lawful inmates Of legations. Sun Yat

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The 1874 Arme-
MAN refugees who have been held at
Ellis island for several days will after
all be allowed to land in this country.
The New Jersey men who protested
against the colonizing of the Armeni-
ans by the Salvation army in Ramsay,
N. j., have appeared before Immigra-
tion Commissioner Senner to ask for
the release of the Armenians. The New
Jersey delegation offered to support the
Salvationists in securing bonds for the
refugees so that they should not be-
come public charges.
There were 1870 Armenian steerage
passengers on the Hamburg American
line steamer California, which arrived
this afternoon from Hamburg and Ha-
vre. They were shipped in Havre and
are booked for various destinations.
The captain states that all have some
means and some have as much as $50.
He does not nticipate any difficulty
about landing them as he says they are
not likely to become public charge.
There are only a few women and chill
dren among them.

Heroic Resistance Made Against

Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-Details of
a massacre on the Solomon islands were
brought up from the South Seas by the
Oceanic Steamship company's mail
steamer Monowai, which arrived at this
port from Australia, via the Sandwich
islands, today. The victims Of the
bloodthirsty savages were members Of
a party of Austrians which had been
taken to the islands by the Austrian
man of war Albatross. 1t was under the
leadership of Henry Baron Foullon Won
Norbeck, an Austrian scientist who has
visited many groups of islands in the
South Seas and had numerous exciting
experiences with the natives. While
travelling with an armed guard over the
mountains Of the island he was set upon
by bushmen and slain together with
three others. During the desperate con-
flict which followed the assault, many of
the party were dangerously wounded.
Following is the list of the killed and
injured:

some signs. AS he appeared two shots
were fred lower down the mountain,
