REDUCTION OF GRAIN RATES
Results Will be ~ atched With Great
Interest in Kansas.

The result of the reduction in grain
rates to the gulf will be watched with
great interest in Kansas. Some time
ago the Populist state board of railroad
commissioners had a discussion with
President Ripley, of the Santa Fe, over
the effect of a reduction in rates. Mr.
Ripley claimed that the farmers would
not be benefited by a reduction, but
that the consumers would profit by it.
The board claimed that the producers
would profit. The question will now be
tested by reason of the reduced rates
put in on corn and wheat.
Galveston export dealers propose to
take advantage of the reduction in
grain rates to the Gulf, put into effect
by the Santa Fe last week and will
flood the state with buyers this coming
week. Heretofore the Gulf dealers
claimed that the railroads had so man
ipulated rates as to discriminate in IA
Vor of Chicago. But the sweeping re-
ductiOn of from to cents per 100
pounds, or about 25 per cent to Gulf
points, gives Galveston dealers a shade
the best of it. The reduced rate should
benefit Kansas producers. The rail-
road viii lose the amount of the reduc-
tlon, and either the farmers or the
grainmen will get it.

Says the Reform Forces Must Stand
Together Every Year.
Discussing the result of the election
last week Webb McNaIl said:
1.-The reform forces must stand to-
gether in off years as well as other
years. The way to succeed is to be
honest and fair with one another. When
d fusion is made it must be made hon
estly and fairly. When there is a great
issue to be tried the elements in OppOsi-
tion to the Republican party can be
trusted without reward, but In on
years, when there is no great issue of
interest to the people at stake, 1t be-
comes necessary to distribute faVors IN
order to keep the elements together
and to avoid the charge of being hog
g1sh. The opposition to the republican
party lost Is county offices in the FIT
teenth judicial district because a part
of that opposition thought it could get
along without the other part. 1t is the
old story of a house divided against
itself I believe that in the future a
fair and honest division must be made
way down at the bottom in the town
ship tickets and then all the way up.
And when we make that fusion we
must stick by it through thick and
thin"
All over the state house sentiments
like those above quoted have been ex-
pressed 1t is but fair, then, to assume
that before the next campaign opens
a fusion of the three parties in Opposi-
ton to the Republican party will be eff
fected

pared with 3,S40 GIG bushels last year.

ICE BOUND WHALERS.
Relief Ship to be Sent Out From San
Fran cisco.

San Francisco, Nov. 8.-A determined
effort is being made to aid the 300 whal-
ers now imprisoned by ice in the Arctic.
All the California representatives in
congress have appealed to the secretary
of the navy, asking that the govern
ment at once send relief ship to their
rescue. The Call has offered to prOvis-
ion the vessel and $5, 600 in cash has
been contributed by the Examiner and
the managers of the base ball tourna-
ment If no government vessel is
available, it is possible that a private
steamer may be chartered.
Many experienced men are of the
opinion that a relief ship will not be
able to get within several hundred
miles of the suffering men, but it is
hoped that provisions may be taken by
reindeer overland to Point Barrow. The
success of this project will depend
largely on the weather, though it is
thought to be feasible The chamber of
commerce favors immediate relief and
the indications are that some plan of
succor will soon be carried into eff
feet.

More Cattle Come In.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 9.-The
prospective duty on Mexican cattle, as
proposed in the pending Tariff Bill,
has resulted in an unprecedented run
of Mexican cattle into the United
States.
The representatives of the Kansas
City office of the Bureau of Amman
Industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture show that the I'M
ports of Mexican cattle for the month
of April were 1854, the greatest in the
history of the country's cattle trade
with Mexico. The imports for March
generally exceeded the exports for any
previous month, but the March figures
were exceeded in April by over $1,000
he;T.
The importation of 1854 head in
April is compared with 1905 in April
a year ago. About two-thirds OF the
cattle imported were entered at No
gales and FL PaSO.

senate Adopts Cuban Kesolutlon
After Lively Debate
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The long
and exciting debate on the joint reso-
luton recognizing state OF war In
Cuba. and declaring that strict neu-
traIity shall be maintained by the Unit
ed States, passed the Senate by the de-
cfsive vote of Al TO IA at late hour
this afternoon. The announcement OF
the vote was received with tumultu-
GUS applause, which drew from Senator
HawIey an emphatic protest against
mob demonstration"
The resolution is as follows: Re
solved, That a condition of public war
exists between the Government OF
Spain and the Government proclaimed
and for some time maintained by force
of arms by the people Of Cuba, and
that the United States of America shall
maintain a strict neutrality between
the contending parties, according to
each and all rights of belligerency in
the ports and the territory of the Unit
ed States"

Win a Gay Oh DlJlSI DdA NlSeh NSDAIS'
The resolution appropriating $4,000
for the relief of American citizens was
adopted without dissenting voice, but
the Democrats endeavored to force
consideration also of the Morgan res
olution for recognition OF the bellig-
erency of the insurgents. They ac-
cused the Republicans of endeavoring
to evade the issue, but the dominant
party, through it's spokesman, Mr.. Hit,
made the important statement that the
Republicans desired not to embarrass
negotiations which were being pro-
jected by President Mckinley to secure
the independence of Cuba
There may be much pressure brought
to bear by the Republicans, who think
early action on the Cuban question adj
visable, to have the resolution adopted
by the House, but so long as the lead
ers consider that it may embarrass
President McKinley's plans it is likely
to lay on the table.

REMOVAL OF OFFICE-HoLDERs.

The Supreme Court Decides the Presf-
dent Has Sole Jurisdiction.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-In the Su-
preme Court today Justice Peckham
handed down an opinion in the case
of l.. E. Parsons, late District Attorney
for the Northern District of Alabama,
appealed from a decision of the Court
of Claims. The decision was adverse
to Parsons claim that he was entitled,
under section 769, Revised Statutes, to
hold Office for four years, notwith-
standing the Presidents order of re-
moval. Justice Peckham said while
the appointment was for four years, it
might be terminated earlier at the dis
erection OF the President. The judgment
of the Court of Claims was affirmed.
The determination of this case has
been looked forward to with interest
because of it's possible effect upon the
removal of officeholders incident TO the
change of administration. Parsons was
removed from the office of United
States District Attorney in Alabama
in 1898, having been appointed in 1890.
He wrote a letter to the President, re-
fusing TO surrender the place on the
ground that, as he had been appointed
for a term of four years, the President
had no right to remove him before the
expiration of that time. He has fought
the case through the various Federal
Courts on this theory, losing in the
lower courts as he did today in the
Supreme Court. Parsons has, however,
not been ia possession Of the office dur
ing the contest. On the day he was re-
moved Emmett O'Neil was appointed
to succeed him and to him Parsons
surrended the office after an order was
issued to hint by the Circuit Court TO
do so. He prosecuted the case on an
other basis from that time.
