OPPOSED TO DIFFERENTIALS.
The Southern Traffic Association Goes
On Record.

st. Louis, Jan. 2S.-Executivc officers
composing the Southwestern Passenger
association, in session here today, put
that organization on record as opposed to
the payment of differentials. All the
railroads interested had representatives
present, including the Cotton Belt, whose
notice of withdrawal had been recalled at
the previous meeting. The first matter
taken up was the demand of the Cotton
Belt for the payment of differential of
50 on tirst-class and 81 on second class in
addition to 81 for every ticket sold i'll
st. Louis or Cairo for Texas points. The
Cotton Belt bases its claim on the fact
that it does not enter st. Louis over its
own tracks. coming in from Delta, II
miles distant, over the Missouri Pacific
road 1t was, after some discussion, de-
cided to pay no differential whatever. The
Cotton Belt then withdrew its demand.
A meeting of general passenger agents
of the lines represented at today's meet
ing was called to meet here on February
II to devise means for making some
concession to the Cotton Belt because il
does not enter st. Louis over its own
tracks.
A uniform scale of commission to he
paid agents for the sale of tickets was de.
cided upon to 90 into effect February l

tioues have been stolen from DR.. jain,
of East Thirtieth steert. The collection
is valued at $4,000, and the value of
the stolen property is placed at S20,OOO;
Some time near midnight Saturday the
residence of DR. jain was entered and
n case of aniques was stolen. The an
tidues which were stolen were part of the
collection known as the Schille collec-
ton. which were bought some years ago
by DIR. jain for $4,000, and were prin-
cipally inlaid gold and silver work. Sat
urday evening Walter Kline, an expert in
antiques, who was in charge of the col
Lection, went out on business. He re-
turned at midnight and found the front
door open. He ran up stairs and on en-
tcring the show room in second or two
he noticed that the case containing the an
tques, and which he valued at $2O,OOO,
had been taken.
DR.. jain is in Europe, and was not IN
formed by the cable of the robbery. At
the station Captain Pickett refused to
either affirm or deny the story, but on in
vcstigation it was found that the robbers
gained entrance to the house through a
rear window. The police have no clue

FAKE REPORTS.
How Cuban War News is Worked Up
by Sensational Sheets.

Some of our prominent public jour
nails have given themselves up to the most
sensational fake reports of the cuban
war. When ii is remembered that the
government exercises the Strictest censor
shin over all the mails and cables, the col
umns of sensational inventions published
in some of our leading newspapers day
after day purporting to come directly
from Cuba. not only degrade the newspa-
pers which resort to such eXpedients but
invite public mOckery upon the legitimate
journals of the day.
Every issue of these newspapers fur
nishes interviews with prominent officials
on both sides Of the conflict in Cuba who
were never seen and who were entirely ig-
norant of the interviews published as
coming from them. They give proclama-
tons from Cuban and Spanish officials
which have never been proclaimed, de
scribe journeys to military camps which
have never been made, portray battles
which were never fought and indulge in
the widest speculatiOns as to the move
mcnts of the contending forces. AS Cuba
is inaccessible except with the approval of
the government censorship, these mon
Strous fakes are never contradicted, and
hundreds of thousands of people in the
country who are Interested in the Cuban
troubles are played upon from day to day
by the worst form of fake journalism.
The New York Herald has been Il nota-
BILE exception among the journals which
have pretended to present the news
from Cuba. Its reports have been the
most reliable of any published in the
United States. While it devotcs usually
about column a day to give the full
news that can be had by the most enter
prsng journal of the world. other jour
nails which do not spend 81 to the Her

umn each day, depending upon the in
ventive resources of the home Bohemian
who. while sitting in his newspaper Office
in Philadelphia or New York, writes the
most graphic and thrilling reports of
events that never occurred, and of sec
tons and camps which he never saw. 1t
is disgraceful to American journalism
that these almost entirely invented re-
ports have become a feature of newspa-
perS of today.
About the only reliable news that can
he obtained from Cuba comes from the
news organization known as the ASsoci-
ated and the United Press. They have
not failed to furnish the facts relating 10
every important movement made by both
sides since the Cuban struggle began.
Some special correspondents have render
cd valuable service, but the dispatches
which have been published as from them
have usually been padded from a brief
paragraph to a column or more. All of
the leading journals of the country fur
nish the full and complete news of the
progress of affairs in Cuba, and as rule
those which present most give the least
reliable information. 1t is simply fake
journalism and the public must soon fully
appreciate the fraud that is attempted
upon them.-Philadelph Times.

NO OFFICIAL NEWS.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Associated
Press announcement OF the death of
Ambassador Runyon preceded any official
adyices to the department here and none
had been received up TO midnight. The
lateness of the hour prevented the news
from being widely known in Washington
circles and the New Jersey members of
congress, who best knew Mr.. Runyon,
were inaccessible The announcement
of the death will be Il great shock TO ad-
ministration personages, for, although
Mr.. Runyon was not well known per
sonally, yet the diplomatic ability which
he has shown has given the administra-
ton great confidence in his ability.

SEEKING NOTORIETY.
Mythical Story OF q Girl Being Robbed
of u Watch and Money.

The story told by Laura Foster, a young
woman living at So North New Jersey street,
who reported to the police that she had
been held up and robbed Tuesday night. is
now declared to be hoax. The detectives
thoroughly Investigated the case yesterday.
The young woman declared that she had
been spending the evening with Nellie Mar
School No. /, where the Foster girl claimed
to have been robbed of her watch and s. in
money. Believing her story to be false.
Chief Splan sent detective Kinney with her
to interview Nellie Marquette. On the way
towards the house which Laura Foster said
Nellie Marquette occupied, she admitted
that Nellie Marquette was as much Of a
myth as the man Hatch, described by
Holmes, the murderer OF the Pitezel chill
dren. Laura Foster has been peddling a
life Of the notorious criminal. Later she
claimed that she went TO the school build
ing to meet a young man, whose acquaint-
ance she had formed earlier in the evening.
This story she afterwards contradicted, tell
ing another equally as improbable. Before
she got away from the station house, the
young woman admitted that she had no
money when the three men stopped her, but
still insisted that they relieved her OF her
watch, given to her, she said, by young
German with whom she became acquainted
a few nights ago. The detectives believe
that If the girl ever had a watch she bought
1t from an installment house and then
count for 1t by saying ii was stolen. Laura
Foster is regarded by the police and Matron
Buchanan as being a notoriety seeker Of
the Lulu May Hollingsworth type.
