Some weeks ago, after an investigation
Governor Lewelling in an interview with
southeast Kansas, the fields near Pitts
burg, were more to Wichita, distance
of 1S6 miles, than they were to Atchison
and points 212 miles distant in northeast
Kansas. After some considerable agi-
tation and discussion the city council
took the matter up and authorized the
city attorney in the name of Mayor Ross
to file complaint with the state board
OF railroad commissioners and ask for
a readjustment. The resolution was put
through the city council Monday night
and yesterday City Attorney Adams
sent in TO the commissioners the follow
ing complaint and petition:
''To the Honora bic Railroad Commission
ers of the State of Kansas:
In the matter of coal rates.
Your complainant states 10 your hon.
orable body that ne is the duly qualified
and acting mayor of the city of Wichita,
Kansas.
That the Missouri Pacific Railroad
company, the Rock Island Railroad COM
pany, the AtchiSon, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad company, the ST. Louis and
San Francisco Railroad company and
the Kansas Nelland Railroad company
operate lines of railroad which enter the
limits Of the city Of Wichita and a part
Of each of said lines Of railroad are stu
ated within the incorporate limits of
said city; and that each of said railroad
companies are and have been for long
time engaged in Transporting coal from
the northeastern, eastern and southeast
chm portions of the state of Kansas 10
the city of Wichita, and that the rates
. charged as freight in Transporting said
coal from the coal fields of northeastern,
eastern and southeastern Kansas are un-
just, unreasonable and extortionate.
That the rate charged per ton as
freight from northeastern, eastern and
southeastern Kansas to the city of Wich-
ita is one and sixty hundredtn dollars
eS160).
That the rates charged by said rail-
road companies 10 other cities and towns
In northern, central, eastern and western
Kansas for a similar distance, is much
less than that charged to the city OF
Wichita. And that there are inequalities
IN the coal rate charged by said railroad
companies which should be adjusted by
your honorable body, and that the coal
rate 10 Wichita should be materially re-
1uced.
That at meeting of the city council
Of the city OF Wichita, held December
20, 1897, the complainant was authorized
and requested by said council TO make
complaint to your honorable body on be-
half Of the mayor and city council, of the |
grievances above set forth.
"A certified copy of the proceedings of |
said city council is hereunto attached, |
marked Exhibit A. and made a part |
hereof.
Wherefore, Complainant prays that |
ead eeal rate as now charged by said !
railroad companies shall be reduced to |
fair and reasonable compensation, and |
for such other relief as the city may be |
ntitled TO under the law

pied Port Arthur, which Is situated at
the extremity of the kio Tung penin-
sula. 1t has practically been in the
hands of Russia for some time past.
After the japanese evacuated the port
during the war with China, Russian
engineers began supervising the re-
construction of the docks and forts
which had been destroyed by the Jap
anese previous to leaving the place
Previous to the war between China
and japan, Port Arthur was the larg-
est naval station possessed by the
Chinese and was strongly fortified.
There was an available dock yard,
large refitting basin, spacious wharves
and quays, two docks, one 400 feet
long. and facilities for repairing ships
of all sizes. The foundries and work
shops were constructed in the most
Improved models and contained the
best modern machinery. Japan was
very anxious to hold Port Arthur per-
manently, but Russia strongly object
ed and would have backed up her OBJ
jections by force.
Russia's great anxiety to possess
Port Arthur Is due to the fact that the
harbor is free from ice all winter,
which is not the case with Vladivos-
took, the present headquarters of the
Russian fleet. 1t IL proposed to con-
meet Port Arthur with the Russian
railroad now being built through Man
churia which In turn will connect with
the grglt trans-S Siberian railroad.
