FOR LOWER GRAIN RATES.
The Kansas Legislative Committee Daci
from the Texas Conference.

Tho Kansas Legislative Committee Hack
from the Texas Conference.
TOPEKA, Kan, April sS.-The COM
mittee appointed by the last legisla-
ture to meet similar committees from
Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska for the
purpose Of agitating the question OF
cheaper freight rates to the Gulf OF
Mexico has returned TO Topeka. There
Is n difference Of opinion In regard to
how the desired and expected result
will be brought about. Some think
that the agitation throughout the
west and south will "bring the rail-
roads to time" while others IRE Of the
opinion that the people will have to
unite in the construction Of n road to
the gulf. Representative Brown said:
The Galveston bay region Is ono Of boundless
possibilities Ships Of the greatest draught
can pass safely through the mouth OF the tctties
and the shipping Of the world could anchor In
tho bay with safety. The cities Of Galveston,
Texas City. Houston. Bolivar Point and others
could handle the freight Of this entire western
country, and the only reason why they do not
do SO Is because OF tho extremely high and I'M
reasonable freight rates charged 70 and from
the gulf ports
The farmers and producers generally Of Kan
sas, Missouri. Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma
and the southern and northwestern states gen
orally arc Ms near to lido water to-day as the
states Of Illinois. Indiana. Ohio, Michigan OF
Kentucky. or even Tennessee. and there can be
no possible reasons shown why the former
states should not have as low rates for their
produce rs tho latter, except that the railroads
will II otherwise.
The time has certainly como for concerted
action on tho part Of the people Of the north
west and the south generally for such rates ns
will enable them to market their produce ut the
nearest and most available seaport, and
Us will give them reasonable re-
turn for the products OF theii
iabors. In my judgment the people will have
10 take hold OF the transportation question and
build road to the gulf. Some think that the
present agitation will cause the railroads 10 re-
ducc rates. but don't believe II.
The railroad attorneys and freight men met
with us ut Austin nud we discussed tho matter
OF rates Tho trouble Is that the men who
run the railroads. or. rather tho mon who
direct their operation, live In tho east. and
they want 10 build up tho east to the
dctrimcnt Of every other section. II the
people OF the west ind south expect to prosper
they will have TO do something for themselves.
They certainly cannot succeed II they continue
to permit the east to decide great questions
for them.

Vast crowds had arrived Mt the tomb

Grant in all the speeches was wildly
checred.
The land parade was waited for after
the conclusion of the ceremonies. Tho
sky became overcast with clouds and
the wind increased until 1t almost
howled around the trees. Suddenly
in the cloud of dust from the south,
between the two black lines of people,
who seemed to meet in the perspective,
came the nodding plumes Of the sol
diers. On they marched, an endless
line of white and red and blue and
gray. First passing on the west side
Of the monument oval and returning
on the north road under the monu-
mental arch, they passed the president
in review, and then back again into
the black background Of humanity and
the white clouds of dust. Surrounded
by his cabinet, his generals and his
friends, President Mckinley stood and
reviewed the grandcst military pageant
ever seen in this city. There were reg
ular soldiers, regular sailors, national
guardsmeu OF the sea and land forces,
Grand Army veterans, confederate vet
Grams and the striplings who, in tho
future, may fight rs gallantly rs their
fathers did.
As five o'clock. the hour ut which
President Mckinley was to go on board
the Dolphin, approached, the crowd on
the pier where he was to embark grew
larger and larger until several thou

the president and his party with u

EXIT THE INDIAN SOLDIER. |
Army Discipline Him for His Tepee

Special Correspondence Of the Globe.
FORT SILL, Okla, May N.-The last
day of this month will witness the dis
bandment of the only remaining orga-
nization of Indian soldiers in the United
States army. At that time, l. Troop,
Seventh cavalry. will be mustered cat
by Capt. H. L. Scott, who has charge
of the matter. 1t marks the end of
what at one time seemed a promising
plan to make the Indian Of real use to
the United States government.
The idea of enlisting Indians as reg
ular members of the United States
army originated with one Of the officers
of the army who was killed in the battle
of Wounded Knee in 1891. He had orga-
nized several companies and under
stood the Indian character as no enc
else had been able to. His men hade
excellent cavalry men and obeyed the
= rules and regulations that hedge in the
life of the soldier with both prompt
ness and alacrity. The death of the
officer, however, seemed to discourage
the Indians. Those who succeeded him
in command failed in managing rhe In
dian soldier because they could not
treat him as they did other enlisted
men and secure his willing obedience.
They would not accord him the slight
est favor which could not be granted
all others.
When the idea was first suggested to
the Indians they seemed 10 take to it
very kindly, and there vas trou-
bic in inducing the young bucks to don
the blue. The older braves, those who
remembered the time, not so long ago,
when they had fought men clad in
that costume, were not ready to enlist
So it was that the companies were
principally made up Of the generation
of Indians that has most recently
reached manhood
The cavalry uniform is a dressy af-
