CHARGES AGAINST RAILROADS.
Interstate Commerce Commission Meets to
Investigate Them.

New York, March 1.-THE interstate
commerce commission sat again Tues
day for the purpose OF investigating the
charges preferred against forty-feur
railroads forming the Joint Traffic as
ISOLATION, alleging discrimination
against New York and in favor of 'Bos-
ton, Philadelphia. and Baltimore. The
first witness was MIR. Lloyd, grain ship
per for Power, Son & Co. He testified
that the arrangements at the port or
Boston was of long standing. This ar
rangement gives twenty days free stor-
age.
Did you testify that the elevator ar
rangements at Boston had anything to
do with the diversion of trade from
New York in 1896 as compared with
1882" asked Lawyer Howard, who rep
resented the Boston and Albany rail-
road
mo, did not"
Witness was further questioned and
maintained that the cheapest way to
export grain from Buffalo to the coast
was via Philadelphia. He went into de-
tails tending to show that the railroads
were put to extra expense at New YORK
and had to charge extra rates.
York Central, asked the witness ques-
tions concerning the terminal charges
at New York, the purpose being to elic-
| II the admission that the port or New
| York was treated better by the rail-
road companies than the other ports,
| inasmuch as there was free lighterage
| for the grain to the ship.
| Mr.. Blackmar said that at one time
the railroad companies allowed the YES
sells to be loaded at the wharves
through their elevators, charging u
cent a bushel, but in 1892 they Imposed
an additional charge of 1 cent a bushel
for the purpose of stopping this prac-
tice.
John Valiant, of the firm of Milmine
Bodman e Co., grain receivers, testl-
fed that the New York Central, the
West Shore, the Erie and the Pennsyl-
vania railroads had grain elevators
The charge put on by the railroad com
panies of IL cents per bushel, he said
prevented the vessels being loaded oil
rect from the elevators.

SHAKING UP AT OMAHA.
Governor Appoints a New Board OF Fire
and Police Commissioners.

Omaha, Neb., March 1.-TWO min
utes before midnight Monday night q
bill which had been passed under party
pressure was filed with t. secretary NJ
state giving Omaha a new charter. 1t
turns out the board of fire and police
commissioners, concerning the appoint
ment of which there was such turmoil
two years ago, and gives Governor iol-
comb the right to name the new board.
The old board, the one which was or
ganized under the A. Z. A. law OF two
years ago, has decided to resist, and
the old fight seems to be wide open once
mere. The new charter also legislates
out of office the entire city government
and provides for new election to be
held within thirty days. 1t opens the
way to what will be the warmest polit-
ical campaign ever experienced In oln-
aha. The bill was prepared by the rus
ion leaders Of the state and was put
through both branches of the legisla-
ture under party pressure, the object
being to secure control of the Omaha
municipal government now in the hands
of the Republicans.
