CHICAGO, May {. -The freight rate
situation among western railroads is
said to be in a p~recarious condition.
Charges and counter charges of secret
rate cutting are freely made by traffic
officials of lines formerly in the West
ern Freight association. The cutting
Is said to be particularly noticeable on
shipments from the east to points west
of the Missouri river. The fact also
that some of the roads are doing an
excellent business, while others, as
favorably situated, are suffering Sc
verely. Is taken as al indication that
tariff rates are not maintained.

Commissions Kent Taking steps to See
II 1t Is Enforced.
Deputy Labor Commissioner s. j.
Kent will urge officials to look after
the enforcement of the child labor
law, the law requiring the erection of
fire escapes in hotels and buildings Of
a certain class and the law requiring
employers to furnish women clerks
with seats. The child law provides
that no male or female child under the
age of twelve years shall be employed
in railroad shops. factories, shops or
mines to exceed four months in the
year. An attempt was made during
the last legislature to insert the word
store in the list Of places, but it
failed.
Sections goal and 6942, relating to
seats in stores for female help. are said
to be ignored. The sections are as
follows:
ut shall be the duty of every agent,
proprietor, superintendent or employer
Of female help in stores, offices, or
schools within the state of Nebraska,
to provide a chair, stool or seat for
each and every such employee upon
which these female workers shall be
allowed to rest when their duties will
permit, or when such position does not
interfere with the faithful discharge
Of their incumbent duties.
ANY neglect or refusal to provide q
chair, stool or seal for every female
worker in the employ of any agent,
proprietor, superintendent or employer
in the state Of Nebraska, shall be
deemed q m~isdemanor and upon con-
viction thereof, shall be fined a sum not
less than S10'and not owe $500. and this
fine shall be paid to the said female
worker whose health has been injured
by this neglect of her employer to pro-
vide said chair, stool or seat, as re-
CURED by this act"
Commissioner Kent will send out cir
cular letters requesting chiefs Of po-
lice to send him information as to
whether this law is enforced.

SALISBURY ON GREECE.
LONDON, May 1.-THE Earl Of Kim.
berly, Liberal leader in the House Of
Lords, asked to-day whether Greece
had announced her willingness to
withdraw her troops from Crete and
whether she had requested the pow
ers to mediate with Turkey.
The Marquis Of Salisbury replied
that II he answered in the negative It
would be strictly correct, yet such q
reply might be misleading. The Greek
government had not asked for media
ton. but members Of that gov
eminent had expressed q desire
for mediation. The Greek govern
menta as a whole did not intent, to the
best of his belief, to ask for mediation.
Regarding Crete. there was some in
definiteness ut the present stage Of
affairs. The Greek government did
not conceive that 1t would be consistent
with its position to promise an i'm
mediate and definite withdrawal Of the
Greek troops from Crete, but he lord
Salisbury understood, though the
government had no official informa.
ton on the subject, that the Greek
government was preparing to say that
It would withdraw its troops from
Crete in the not very distant future.
He concluded:
II am sorry to say that, rs we stand
ut present, I do not think this assur-
ance Is entirely satisfactory to all the
powers. However, l have only to ans
wer for ourselves, and our instructions
have been to join in any procedure for
tho purpose Of entering upon media
ton, which Is acceptable to tho
others. In our view the main point is
to arrest. as far as possible, the effu-
sion of blood, and we arc not very par.
ticular about the forms. 1 regret ex-
ceedingly that the Greek government
is more particular about the forms
than the circumstances In the case

TO WORK OUT.
The Miners and Mllmen of the Neva-
ola Company Operating The Plant.

The proposition of the miners
and millmen of the Nevada Mining
Company to work the property
themselves until they paid their
way out, after several days discus
sion of details, ended in an agree
ment satisfactory to all concerned
and work at the mine was resumed
on Friday night.
The men were willing to take a
lease for ninety days, believing that
if the property could not work out
its redemption in that time it could
not be done at all The personal
property was under attachment.
Sheriff Prudential was absent but
returned at noon on Friday and
an arrangement was quickly effected
by which the personal property
could be used
A sufficient number of tie men to
fairly operate the plant had already
expressed their willingness to join,
but in order that all might have an
opportunity to understand the
movement, the papers were left
open until Tuesday night of this
week for new parties to sign.
The men selected j. e. Price
John Sheath John Rynearson and
w. M. Christion as committee to
handle the workings. The pro-
ceeds are to be distributed as often
as a reasonable amount is on hand.
BY Tuesday evening, when the
list closed, 26 names had been sign
cd to the agreement. The mill was
started up yesterday morning and
is now running.

HAlLsTORM AT BuNKERvILLE.
Great Damage to Everything in That
Vicinity.

The belief of the farmers that the
climate of this intermountain coun-
try, from some cause MISUNDERSTOOD,
is changing for the worse, finds
supporters in the southern part of
the county just now,
On the oath. of last month Bunk
erville was visited by rain and
hail storm such as that section of
country never witnessed before.
Hail fell at the upper field larger
than ounce balls and in such quanti-
ty that in places it was two feet
deep. Several hogs in the field
were nearly killed. In the town
great damage was done to fields,
gardens and property. The accom-
panying flood destroyed the main
dam in the river and injured the
towns main supply ditch in many
places. Two men came near drown
ing at one Wash, usually dry, but
then flooded, and both had to have
help Water is being hauled to
town and it will be three weeks be-
fore the main dam and ditch can be
repaired. This viii result in practi-
cal ruin to what gardens are left.
The boys gathered barrels of the
hailstones and INDUCED in icecream,
something almost unknown in that
locality.
Aside from alfalfa, grain, and the
hardy fruits, which grow abundant
ly, Bunkerville's crops consist large
ly of cotton, pomegranates, black
figs and other semi-tropical fruits.
Ice in that country, even in winter
season is novelty SO that storm
of this character, in summer season
is inexplicable.
Floods and storms have been
more frequent in that whole sec
ton, including the Muddy Valley,
during the past four years than
formerly, but nothing equal to the
present one has been experienced.
