Vice President Paul Morton, General
Solicitor E. D. Kenna and General
Auditor II. C. Whitehead, OF the Santa
Fe Railway Co., held a conference with
Gov. ELECT Leedy yesterday at his Of
fee in this city. The officials, 1t Is said,
argued against a maximum freight rate
bill, claiming that 1t is impracticable
and that similar bill to the one pro-
posed in Nebraska was declared uncon-
stitutional. They cited that the
roads were the heaviest taxpayers
In Kansas and gave more en-
ployment to skilled labor than all
other industries combined; that the
roads were not making any money
under the present rate; and that q
maximum freight bill would not only
work a hardship in this important
business interest but would also neces-
sarily affect the employees. The Of
ficials intimated that the roads would
have no objection TO the passage Of a
stringent anti-pass law.

Police records and daily incidents

is need for another campaign by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. Harness stock is abused
a great deal. In this connection 1t
has been suggested that there should
be more attention to drivers from the
authorities. Some of the men who
handle reins are reckless and careless,
but there is more trouble for all on
account of the incompetency of men
entrusted with teams and rigs. Al
most hourly there may be observed

but the ineXperience and ignorance of

Yes; it is now recalled, on thought
suggested from the United States, that

the Hawaiian Government succeeding

this swashbuckler Blount it is clear
that he was just the right kind of a

templating the result in the
event of the non-arrival of the

which we had selected for the
Holiday Trade. At last the
tension on our nervous system
relaxed; the Wilder has arrived
and we have on our counters
display of fine goods such as
never was seen here before.
The additional space requir-
ed has been obtained by doubl-
ing up on our show counters,
making new ones and chang
ing around some of the old
ones on the second floor. We're
ready for business, and the
number of sales of Holiday
Goods we have made during
the past three weeks constrains
us to believe that business is
ready for us.
By the Wilder we have re-
ceived all kinds of things suit
able for Christmas Gifts.
Many of them are in Cut
Glass, and they comprise
Saucers, Salad Dishes. Rose
Bowls, Pickle Jars, Butter
Tubs and Plates, Ice Cream
Trays, Decanters, Lemonade

BIG sCHOONERS.
They Made Some ON the Great Lakes that
Caused Sailors to Stare.

Some of the sea captains on CONNER
cial street opened their eyes when they
read in the Maritime Register the ton
mage of some new four-masted schooners
on the Great Lakes. The Alfred Krupp,
built IN Chicago and hailing from Du-
luth, is 1859 tons gross: and the George
II. Corliss, built at the same port, and
also hailing from the same port, is of the
same dimensions.
When it is remembe that the Gov
ernor Ames is only 1890 net tons, it will
be seen what huge vessels the great lake
boats are.
One captain who knew something about
the lakes, was inclined to think, how
ever, that the Krupp and Corliss are
really great barges and not sailing YES
sells, such as we understand schooner
to be. Othersscaptains did not think SO,
however.
The Ocean Belle, built at Bath this
year, and of 1893 tons and the Alma E.
A. Holmes, built at Camden and regis
tering 1908 tons, are new Maine schoon-
ers which have just received their num-
bers from the Bureau of Navigation.
