REFEREE CLARK's REPORT.
His Findings In the Kansas City Stock Yards Case Submitted to Judge Foster.

His Ffndinga In the Kansas City Stock
 Yards Case Submitted to Judge Foster.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 25.-George W. Clark, special master in the stock yards suit, has filed his report of find- ings in the federal court. The report does not enter into discussion of the legal questions involved, but dwells entirely upon questions of fact with out making any recommendations Clark reports the value of the plant to be $5, 3SS, ,00S.25, and in addition the company, he says, owns $1, 200, 900 worth of real and personal property not used in the operation of the plant The re- port suggests that if the stock of the concern was worth par after the pas sage of the law the good will of the company would appear to be worth about S75O,OO He leaves the court to decide the question of whether the amount expended in construction should be included in the item of operating expenses, which is a very vital question in the determine tion of the controversy. On basis of business done in 1896, including the construction account and apply there bc bAAC Ol blt ntW law, bnt ntb ln- come would be $l76, 332. 3l or 3.27 per cent. on the present value of the plant. Excluding the construction account, the net annual Income would ba S345,- 906. 96, or 6. 42 per cent on the present value.
 After months of arduous and pains taking labor Judge Clark has sifted the vast mass of testimony offered by both sides and has set forth that which he believes pertinent to the question at issue. It is document framed by judicial mind, and shows no partial ity to either side in the controversy. From the masters findings, however, it is apparent that he allows little inn portance to the interstate commerce contention of the company, scales their claim as to the total value of the plant, shows that profits in the past have been enormous, but not so great at present, considering the market value of the yards.
 Should Judge Foster decide, and his decision secure the sanction of the su- preme court, that the stock yards busi- ness is not interstate commerce, it is evident the whole case hinges upon the question of the power of the state, under constitutional restrictions, to regulate business of individuals and corporations within it's borders.

FIREMEN WILL NOT STRIKE.

 Sympathy Walk Out.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 25.-vice Presi- dent J. J. Hanrahan, of the Brother hood of Locomotive Bremen, in an address last night at an entertainment given by the fremen in aid of the miners, at which Sl, 900 was realized, said:
 am glad that we have been able to show our appreciation of the cause of the miners by raising money to send to them. We are with them, heart and soul, but I might as we'll while am speaking, explain that there will be no sympathetic strike on the part of the railroad employees in our brotherhood to assist the striking miners Ours is very large brotherhood, with membership in the United States. Canada and Mexico, and we have made contracts which we must fulall We realize fully that contract is as binding on an empioye as on any one else. So there will be no sympathetic strike on the part of railway employees in aid of the miners. We prefer to aid them in such way this While working we will contribute to their support, and will do as well by them as will any organi- zatfOn of the earth

DEAD PENSIONERS
4 Plot to Get Balances Due to De- ceased Inmates of Soldiers Homes.
DAWES INDIAN COMMISSION.
A New Grass for Arid RegIons-The South Sends Many Invitations to Secretary Wilson to Visit That Section
 Handbook on Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. What looks like a systematic plot to defraud the soldiers home of fun Is in it's posses sion has been unearthed and exposed. Under the statutes pensions drawn by inmates of the home, if not assigned to wife, child or parent, are handed over to the home to be held in trust for the pensioner. He is permitted to draw upon it for necessary expenses and to receive all the balance to his credit when discharged from the home. Balances of pension money due to de- ceased inmates are payable to his legal heirs under the statute if claimed within three years. Otherwise it escheats to the home. The pension fund of the home now amounts to nearly S45,0O From time to time claims are made upon this fund by heirs of de- ceased inmates, and considerable sums have been paid to such alleged repre- sentatives, in a number of cases sew eral years after the three years linn itation had expired. It was noticed that single firm of attorneys in this city were building up quite business in pressing such claims, and it was suspected, and afterwards discovered to be the fact, that information of the names of deceased soldiers and amounts due them from the pension fund were being surreptitiously afforded by some of the clerical force at the home.
 Dawes Indian Commission.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The Indian bureau officials do not give any serious considera ton to the reports from Chelsea, I. T., of the threats of tribal war made by the Keetoowa society of full-blood Cherokees on account of the contemplated reforms for which the Dawes commission is negotiating. The members of the society, who are intensely hostile to any change what ever in the present organization of the nation, are stated to have threatened personal damage to the members of the Cherokee commission who are to re- sume the negotiations with the Dawes commission on September 1, in case they make an agreement. Indian Offi- cials say they realize that there is bitter feeling entertained by the full bloods against allotments and any changes in the tribal government, but they do not anticipate that there will be any resort to violence on occount of the forcible methods of the govern ment.
 A New Grass fer Arid Regions.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The agricul- tura1 department is preparing to make an experiment with a new forage plant which is thought to be adapted to the semi-arid regions of the west. It is the bromus inermis, grass which is indigenous to the Russian steppes. An order for two tons of the seed of the plant has been wired to Moscow in re- sponse to telegram from Prof. Han- son. the departments agent, that he could secure this quantity by taking it

 Among Children.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.--Samuel Burg, a young Danish barber, was put to sleep in a north side hall Sunday afternoon with the regulation passes by pro lessor of hypnotism," and it was am nounced that he would sleep seven days and nights Chief Ripley sent two detectives to make report on the exhibition. The detectives reported to Chief Ripley, who decided to stop the exhibition, and sent detail of officers for that purpose. Lieut.. Serey, who had charge of the expedition, gave Burg rap on the sole of the foot with his club, pinched his ears and slapped his checks, but the motionless form gave no sign of life. All this time the professor" was lowering excitedly about and protest ing that the great hypnotic test was being held solely in the interests of science and that its results were being anxiously watched by physicians and psychologists from California to Maine. The lieutenant cut him short by saying: "The chief says that this exhibition has got to stop can't wake the boy up and you've got to or I'll have to arrest the whole outfit" Then with n few mysterious passes and snap of the fingers the mesmer- ist released the subject and the two proceeded to Chief Kipley's office to protest against the interruption of their exhibition.

 TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 25.-Peter Crozer, secretary and treasurer of the Mercer & Merchants Building & Loan association, is short $9s, ,740.5S in his accounts if the report made by the committee on investigation quietly ap- pointed some weeks ago is we'll found ed. Crozer, who Is about 65 years old, has not been arrested. He has a wife and family and until re- gently stood high in the com munity. His only answer to the charge, thus far made known, is denial of the correctness of the figures. The report of the committee shows that i,500 shares of the companies are out standing to the value of $f94, 1hI76, while the assets are $1O4, ,411.1S. The difference represents the shortage.

REDUCES THE CASH BALANCE.
slump in the Price of Silver Affects the Gov
 ernment Treasury.

WAsHISGToN. Aug. 25.-The recent decline in silver has developed still sn- other serious effect upon the treasury. The present available cash balance. as given in the official treasury statement, is, in round numbers, S222, GOO. 900. It ap- pears, however, that, in estimating this balance on hand, the government stock of silver bullion is reckoned at it's original cost, instead of at it's present market value. The amount of this silver bullion now on hand is st14. 000,- 900, giving 1t the value of It's original cost But, considering the present market value of silver, this bullion would not sell for much more than S60, 100000. This reduces the leash balance" at a single stroke to S162,- n00 mn

 Secretary Wilson Wanted South.
 WAsHINaToN, Aug. 25.-Many invita- tions addressed to Secretary Wilson to visit state and county fairs during the approaching autumn are being received at the agricultural department, large number of them being from the south ern states. The invitations from that section express a desire to have the secretary inspect the agricultural con ditions and to have the benefit of his advice as practical farmer after such inspection. As the secretary is absent from the city no definite reply can be made, but 1t is known that he expects to go to Nashville during the fall, and 1t Is considered probable that he may so time his visit there as to take in some of the fairs in the neigh boring states.
