OWENS REPLIES TO GERALDINE.

Produces Recopds 10 Sustain His
Previous Statements.
Superintendent Owens OF the Department
of transportation expressed considerable in
dlgnaton when he read the report OF the
statement made at the meeting OF the Board
of Directors by d. Geraldine, denying that
ho (Geradine) had held the Missouri Pacific
contract two weeks before turning 1t over
to the Department of Transportation. Mr..
owens said he was prepared to substanttate
his statements that MIR. Geraldine had held
that contract two weeks as had been stated,
and he referred to his letter books for PROOF
of what he said.
There is another matter about which Mr..
Geraldine seems to be mistaken continued
Mr. Owens, turning to a large folio contain
ing a number of circulars issued by various
railroads. Here is a circular said he,
picking up one of them, (Which was issued
by the Illinois Central railroad. 1t is dated
June 20, 1891, and states that the rate Tor
material switched from the tracks OF the
Illinois Central to the tracks of the eXposi-
tion will be 81 per car on and after the date
of the circular. 1t states, in so many
words, that this charge of 81 per car is TO
cover all charges for services rendered by
the exposition management on its own
tracks and with its own engines. That
doesn't look as though the charge was 81
per car as stated by MIR. Geraldine, does it?'

WOULD RATHER RISK THE COURTS
Kansas Roads VIII Ignore Railroad
Commissioner's Order.


commissioners Order.
The railroads of Kansas will adhere TO the
agreement recently made among transmits
souri, railroads to charge for the shipment
of livestock by weight instead of by carload
They will ignore the order of the railroad
commissioners of that state which is to
the effect that the operation of the new
rule for rates according to cents per 100
pounds instead of dollars per carload must
be ponstponed till after the reasouablencss
of rates by cents per 100 pounds be demon
strated to the satisfaction of the comm,s-
slonerS, bearing on the matter to take
place at Topeka on September n.
The officials of the freight departments of
the railroads in Kansas have consulted since
the meeting at Topeka on Thursday and
have decided that they would rather take
chances with the courts than to revert to
the old custom of basing rates by dollars
per carload This fact was admitted by sew
eral prominent freight officials of lines Up-
Grating in Kansas here yesterday. They be-
lleYe that the new rule to charge stockmen
for every pound of stock shipped instead of
according to the number of cattle that can
DC crowded into a stock car, is a fair one
Ihey say they have put it in the new rates
OF cents per 100 pounds after several years
study OF the matter and propose to keep
tnem until forced to abandon them by the
highest courts.
Speaking of the subject yesterday. a
freight official of leading western railroad
sad: In calculating the effect of the con-
version of live stock rates from dollars per
carload to cents per 100 pounds, stockmen
are TOO apt to overlook the fact that the
thlrty-foot car is the standard car. Nearly
every stockman who is arguing against the
rates by weight has drifted to the opinion
that the thirty-siX-foot car is a standard.
Ihio Is not so today, nor ever has been. In
converting the rates from dollars per car
mar. Nlu ,1.N I'D Il
thlrty-foot cars) was used which fact neces-
earlly removes much of the advantage of
the thirty-siX-foot cars. Any rate in cents
per lou pounds does of itself remove part of
the advantages derived from the use of the
thlrty-six-foot cars. In the case of the
thirty-six-foot cars six feet more room in
each car, or 20 per cent more space, has
been allowed for 10 per cent additional in
the rate. Now this advantage is done away
with and there is complaint from the stock
men"

spend ahe Morning Catching on to
Dollar Wheat.

DOll.F NheHt.
There was great excitement at the grain
commission houses yesterday. The places
were all agog over the rapid rise Of
wheat and corn. Not only did the grain
men and other men who follow the grain
market as q matter Of dollars and cents
drop in to watch the crop prices climb up,
but a number of those who rarely daily
with the fickle market became infatuated
with the prospects of sudden wealth with
out going to Klondite, and spent the morn
ing in the commission rooms.
The excitement was greatest when Sep
tember wheat reached 81, which 1t did twice
during tho morning II did not close at
81, however, the closing quotation being 99lA
cents IT had reached the dollar mark
twice during The hour just prior to the
close of the market, and that was enough
to satisfy many. few minutes after
closing there were plenty of trades at
$1.04%, showing that the prospects for a
high market on Monday is good.
Wheat was not the only cereal product
that took a jump unto itself. September
corn went up 23s cents, closing at 313s.
December corn was also away up toward the
top round of the ladder, going up 3 cents
in advance of yesterdays quotations. 1t
reached "a cents at one time and closed at
1885 cents.
