CUT RATES ON FRESH MEATS
Rock Island and Atchison Reads Take
Radical Action.
LEAVE WESTERN FREIGHT ASSOCIATION
Important Notice Served on Chairman
MidgclcS-Au Packing House Prod
ucts 20 GO East and south
ut Big Reduction.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The Rock Island and
the Atchison roads today sent to commits
sioner Midgeley of the Western Freight as
sociation notice of their intention to with
draw from that organization at the expira-
t!on OF ten days.
The Rock Island says that some of the
members Of the association have pursued
tactics that are a virtual abandonment of
the agreement and it can see no cause for
remaining a member of an agreement that
is an agreement in name only and has no
binding force or power upon any of its mem
bers.
The notice of the Atchison gives similar
reason for it's withdrawal, saying that so
many member of the agreement have per-
sistently violated all of its provisions that
they can derive no possible benefit from its
membership.
The Rock Island today gave notice of its
intention to reduce the rate on fresh meats
from Omaha, Kansas City and st. Joseph to
the Mississippi river points to 10 cents and
the rate on packing house products from the
same points TO the Mississippi river to 3
cents per 100 pounds. This is a reduction
of Sh cents on fresh meats and . cents on
packing house products from the rates in
effect heretofore. Rates of 61s cents on
fresh meats and 49, cents on packing house
products to the Mississippi river are made
from Wichita, Kan. On packing house prod
ucts rates of 6 cents are made from Des
Moines, 4 cents from Ottumwa and 3 cents
from Cedar Rapids to the Mississippi river.
All these rates become effective September
rs. The same rates viii be made from
Omaha. South Omaha and Council Bluffs as
from the lower Missouri river points.
in serving notice to Commissioner Midge-
ley of its intention to make the reduced rates,
the Rock Island says that since the reduced
rates of August 1 have been in effect on
fresh meats and on packing house products
from the Missouri river to the Mississippi,
it has honestly endeavored to obtain freight
at the agreed rates, but has not been able
to procure any of it, being told by the ship
per that its rates were too high. 1t says that
it is compelled to make the rates by the
action of its competitors and that they Will
remain in effect until satisfactory assur-
ances are received by the Rock Island that
its competitors, who have made contracts
for the handling of the freight at low rates,
have abandoned those contracts, and that
the Rock Island will bo able to procure its
share of the traffic at agreed rates. The aC-
ton of the Rock Island was met by the
Atchison today and it is expected that the
other roads will publish tariff sheets to cor
respond tomorrow.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The governors of the
Bank of England at today's meeting ad-
vanced the minimum rate of discount of the
institution one-half of / per cent to 8 per
cent. This is an advance of l per cent In
less than a month. Good authorities in cx-
change believe that the advance will only
exert a temporary restraining influence on
the outflow of gold TO the United states and
the continent. The afternoon newspapers
agree in saying that the advance in the bank
rate was received with satisfaction on the
stock exchange, and that it has ended the
teeling of suspense which prevailed, Prices

BROOKS RULES LEADVILLE
Civil Authorities Remain but Military
Orders Are Supreme,
OFFICERS OF MINERS UNION UNDER ARREST
Soldiers BusiIy Engaged i'm Disnrm
ing All suspicious ChnrnctcrS-
strikers Discouraged Ovcr
the Gloomy situation.

LEADVILLE, Sept. 24.-Except that the
civil officers are for the time being allowed
to exercise their constitutional prerogatives,
provided they do not interfere with Gen
eral Brooks movements, military law is
supreme today in Leadville. The soldiers
who make arrests, disarm all but officers
Of the law, hold prisoners subject to the
commanding officer, and search houses with
out other warrant than the order of General
Brooks.
The military court of inquiry, to inquire
into the circumstances of the destruction
Of the Coronado mine and the loss of life
incident thereto, convened this forenoon
and will endeavor to establish the identity
of the men engaged in the riot for the bene-
1T of the civil authorities. Its sessions will
be secret.
The following officers and members of the
Miners union are in jail under strong
guard, being held for the murder of Fire
man O'Keefe: Peter Turnbull, vice presf-
dent; r. j. Dewar. secretary; George Handy,
William o'Brien, Patrick Kennedy, J. v.
Doyle, Joseph Otis, John Ahern, Conner
Richards, Ernest Nicholas. Eugene Cannon,
Cornelius Sherin, Michael Weible, Gust
Johnson and Nels Clausen. Five members
Of the executive committee, including Press
dent Auburn, are at large, and a search IL
being made for them.
The charge against Edward Boyce, presi-
dent of the Western Federation of Miners,
who was arrested last night, is "inciting
riot" and is based on a speech he made
here to the miners a couple of weeks ago.
Secretary Dewar and the officers of the
union, who are in custody, declared that the
outbreak of violence Monday morning was
contrary to the policy of the union, and is
greatly d~eplored by them. The arrests
have caused CONSERVATION among the strik-
ers, and, it is believed, have greatly weak
ened their cause.
There was to have been a meeting of the
Miners union at the city hall last evening
and General Brooks sent a squad with a
Calling gun to the hall with instruction to
prevent the meeting. The gun was later
returned to battery headquarters, the union
meeting having been held at an early hour
and being in session but ten minutes,

alias Edward Bell, the New York saloon

gov charged with being connected with the
alleged dynamite conspiracy Of which p. j..
p. lyman is said to be the moving spirit,
was arraigned at the Bow Street police court.
G. +. Gill, who appeared for the Treasury
department, said that the prisoners real
name was Ivory and charged him with con-
spring with lyman, Kearney and Haines to
cause dynamite explosions in the United
Kingdom, and also with aiding and abetting
dynamite offenses. Mr.. Gill claimed that
the four men mentioned left New York in
August and he said that 1t was quite clear
that they were supplied with money sent
to this country by n Fenian organization
in New York for the purpose OF going to
Antwerp, preparing bombs and dynamite
and then securing men In London or Glasgow
to explode them.
Continuing, MIR. Gill said that the date
of September Is had been fixed upon as the
time when they contemplated that the last
step Of the conspiracy would be consum-
mated. Ivory, MIR. Gill added, left New
York on August 10, reached southampton
on August 26 and proceeded to London, his
special duty being to interview persons con-
sidered likely to be willing to engage in
the date of the different movements of the
men in Great Britain and on the continent,
saying that they employed a cipher code in
communicating with each other. Later Mr..
Gill read the letters sent by lyman to Ivory
and those sent by Ivory to lyman.
Mr.. Gill said that furthermore that on
September II, Kearney and Haines, who
were at Antwerp, concluded they were be
ing Swallowed and telegraphed Ivory to come
right away as the business was stopped.
Ivory objected and pointed out how he
would disappoint his friends II he returned
TO America without concluding the bust
ness.
A long letter to lyman was also read in
which Ivory charged lyman with hugging
the shores of France too much and not
forwarding the cause enough. The prose-
cution then gave the details of the arrest
Of ivory who, ne added, claimed he was an
American journalist.
Mr.. Gill stated that Internal machines Of
a new pattern were found in the possession
of Kearney and Haines when they were
arrested. The formal evidence of the arrest
of Ivory was then presented.
After evidence had been furnished of meet
ings between Ivory and his alleged fellow
Conspirators at Antwerp, the case was ad-
journed until tomorrow.
The government has decided not to ask
for the extradition of Haynes and Kearney
from Rotterdam, as the offenses with which
they are charged are not included in the

with which the result has been achieved
is astonishing, though unquestionably it is
due to the thoroughness of the prepara-

one Of the liveliest of possibilities.
The advance upon Dongola was begun at

not only abandoned their o~utposts, but that
their main camp had been deserted, the
enemy being in full flight and carrying
with them their women and children. Wher-

the fugitives being killed. The gunboats
shelled every detachment of hostiles that
came within range Of their guns and did
much execution.
All the principal dervish chiefs. with the
exception of Wad Bishara, have surrendered
and the opposition to the Egyptian power
in this section has completely collapsed.
Only five British soldiers were wounded
in the days operations. There were cap.
tured six field guns, a large quantity of
ammunition, great stores of grain and
many hocks and herds.
