PASSENGER RATE TROUBLES.
Western Lines believe They Will
Soon Be Adjusted

CHICAGO, Oct. 21-The executive
committee of the Western PASSENGER
association, held a meeting today for
the purpose of getting the large com
missions which the Western roads have
been paying on Western-bound busi-
ness scaled down somewhat The
meeting did not accomplish anything
owing to the absence Of two or three
lines whose presence was desirable
An adjournment was taken to secure
a vote from these lines and the meet
ing will be resumed tomorrow. The
feeling among the Western roads is
that there should now be but little
trouble in settling Western passenger
rates, considering the fact that the
Union Pacific has settled it's troubles
with the Oregon Short Line The row
between these two roads was the
primary cause of the excessive COM
missions that have been paid on North
Pacific coast business and on traffic
to Colorado points! There never has
been a good reason for the payment
of the commissions and it is generally
thought that the matters can be set
tied without much delay. Efforts are
also being made to get the Union Pa
cific into the Western Passenger as
sociation once more. 1t gave as it's
reason for declining to become a mem
Der that the fight between it and the
Oregon Short Line prevented it from
Joining, but now that this is out of the
way, it is thought possible that it may
join the association.
The trunk lines shave notified the
lines in the Western Passenger asso-
citation that the requirements of the
latter regarding the abolition of the
arbitrary rate, imposed by the trunk
lines on business passing through the
Mississippi river gateways other than
st. Louis, cannot be complied with at
present. The increase demanded by
the trunk lines on business not pass
ing through st. Louis was, in each in
stance, 81, and the lines of the West
ern Passenger association demanded
that all the gateways should be on the
same basis. Now the trunk lines say
that they cannot comply with the
wishes Of the Western roads before
first Of the year, because that is the
time when they fix up their quarterly
sheets, and until new rate sheets are
issued those in effect at the present
time must govern. This decision is
satisfactory to the Western roads.
Nearly all of the roads running out
Of Chicago, and particularly those to
the East, are finding difficulty in car
ing for their perishable freight. 1t
has become a very serious problem
where to find sufficient cars for the
heavy amount of this class of freight
and some of the roads have been COM
PEELED to decline to handle the goods
for lack Of transportation facilities.

ENGLAND'S ANSWER FINAL.
Mission of the B1meta11fc ENJOYS a
COmpIete FaiIure

Mission of the B1metal1fc ENJOYS a
Complete Failure.
LONDON, Oct 21-Col. John Hay,
the United States ambassador, and the
officials of the British foreign office, de-
cline to furnish the press with the text
of Great Britain's reply to the sugges-
tions of the United States monetary
commissioners, though the foreign Of
flee people say it Is in substance iden-
teal with the Associated Press dis
patches Of Saturday last, giving the re-
suit Of the meeting of the British cab
met and that the communication sent
yesterday evening to the commissioners
through the United States ambassador
was practically reiteration Of the
statements on the subject already
made. A similar reply has been sent
to the French embassy. The United
States commissioners recognize that
their mission has been unsuccessful,
though they will not admit it, as the
answer of Great Britain says that
country will be glad to receive other
propositions, and the commissioners
have decided, as a matter OF form, TO
return to France and consult the
French government as to whether fresh
proposals are desirable. But it is not
expected that anything will result from
their visit to France.
to the United States ambassador and
to the French ambassador, Baron de
Courcel, says that by far the most i'm
portant proposal submitted is that con-
cerning the reopening Of the Indian
mints. He adds: "The government OF
India points out that they can hardly
be expected to give up a policy which,
for four years they have been endeav-
oring to make effective, in the absence
of substantial security that the system
to be substituted for it is practically
certain to be stable. If, owing to the
relative smallness of the area, over
which the bimetallic system is to be
established. to the great divergence be-
tween the proposed ratio and the pres
ent gold price of silver, or to any other
cause, the legal ratio of silver were
not maintained, the position Of silver
might be much worse than before and
the financial embarrassments of the
government of India greater than any
with which they have as yet had to
contend"
The reply then adds that even if
these reasons are not strong enough,
the Indian government could not be ex-
| pected to reverse a policy which has
| only been on trial for four years, and
concludes: "Her majestys government
/ is, therefore, desirouS to ascertain how
| far the views of the French and Amer
| lean governments have been modified
by the decision arrived at, and whether
they desire to proceed further with
the negotiations at the present time.
1t is impossible that the time which
has lapsed since the proposals were put
forward in July last may enable the
representatives of the two governments
| concerned to form more accurate
estimate than then practicable of the
, amount of assistance they say they eX-
pect from other powers and of the sue
cess their scheme is likely to attain.
The government might then be placed
in a position to consider the subject
with fuller knowledge than they now
possess of many of the circumstances
materially affecting the proposals be-
fore them"

TO TAP THE IRON REGION.
Rumors of New Road Rife on the
Range.

RanSe.
1t is reported at Grand Rapids that
Wright & Davis, owners of the Ma
honing mine and also of the Duluth,
Mississippi & Northern, have finally
determined to build an independent
road connecting the Duluth, Missis-
sippi & Northern, which taps the Ma
honing and other big, open pit mines
of the western Mesaba, with a large
ore dock they propose to build at New
Duluth.
The new road will practically par
allel the Duluth. Superior & Western
system, so far as ore carrying is con-
cerred, and will cut hoff the entire out
put of the Mahoning, and perhaps
others. ue y
The proposed line from Swan river
to New Duluth will connect with the
Duluth, Mississippi & Northern from
Hibbing, and viii cut at right angles
with the Duluth Superior & Western,
following the line aof Mission creek and
terminating on st. Louis bay near the
Ironton Steel works, which recently
passed into the hands of the Rookie
feller-Carnegie interests.
The surveys are completed and
force of men are yat work on the right
of-way between Srnithville and Carl
ton. The new line will be about sixty
miles long, and While the Wright &
Davis people wi11e give no estimate of
the cost; an iron man well acquainted
with the country through which the
road must pass, estimates the cost at

FEWER FEVER CASES.
Jack Frost Steps in to Stamp Out

Jack Frost steps In TO stamp Out
the ScOurge.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 21.-The
fever situation improved to some eX-
tent here today. Where yesterday
there had been some thirty cases by
1 o'clock, at o'clock tonight there
were only thirty. Yesterday after
noon the record was six deaths. To-
day at nightfall there had been but
two fatal cases reported to the board
of health. Among the deaths is that
of Sister Sylvester, of st Joseph's or
phan asylum. She was reported to the
board of health yesterday, and the
best of attention was given to her, but
she seems to have contracted a very
bad case of yellow fever complicated
with other disease and there was little
chance Of saving her life after her
case had been brought to the attention
Of the board
The weather this morning was cool
and reports from below New Orleans
are to the effect that there was a light
frost last night. Col. l. Dellis, of Gov.
Fosters staff, said to a representative
of the Associated Press this evening,
that he had received advices that
there had been frost in Bernard par
ish and on the outskirts of the city
last night. The deposit was slight
however, and probably not sufficient to
stamp out the disease here. 1t is pos
sible, however, that the fewer cases
this evening are a result traceable to
the change in the temperature. 1t
does not seem at all likely that the
fever will continue here for any length
of time

PULLMAN'S NOBLE ACT.
A SinguIarIy Beautiful Letter to His
Grandson.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21-A letter show
ing a side of George Pullman's char
acter not generally known to the pub
lie has been given to the press. 1t is
as follows:
Castle Rest. Alexandria Bay, N. Y, Aug
IA, 1S97-My Dear Grandson In recognition
of the very graceful and pleasing act of your
father and mother in naming you for me, and
for the purpose of doing something that will
be most Likely to give you pleasure all
through your life, I have placed in trust an
amount sufficient to produce $3.50 year In
perpetuity, and have directed that it be paid
out in your name for the purpose of keeping
in perfect repair and good order the beauti-
full Florence ward in st. Luke's hospital,
which your mother, when a girl, caused to
be fitted up in a manner most appropriate and
complete for the care of unfortunate chill
dren. l have also provided further sum
of $3.50 year by which bed in the Florence
ward is perpetually endowed in your name,
that any sick child whom you may choose
can always have the benefit of kind care and
skilled treatment.
The appropriation is effective on this the
14th day of August 1897, which is the e 'ghty-
ninth anniversary of the birth of your great
grandmother Pullman, and is the day on
which the service of your christening takes
place at Castle Rest, which was her summer
home.
I hope and believe that when you become
old enough to understand it you will find
much happiness in always keeping up, in
fresh and beautiful order, the work started
by your mother, and on your own account
to be able to look after the welfare of chii-
dren who may be less fortunate than your
self
that you will always remember that good
actions speak louder, and are more effective
in promoting the welfare of others, and in
influence upon your own character, than are
spoken words. Very affectionately, your
grandfather, George NJ. Pullman.
To George Mortimer Pullman Lowden.

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New DiscOv-
cry for Curing Dyspepsia.


The Rev. F. L Bell, a highly es-
teemed minister residing in Weeds
port, Cayuga Co., N. Y, in a recent
letter writes as follows: There has
never been anything that I have TAX
en- that has relieved the Dyspepsia
from which I have suffered for ten
years except the new remedy called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Since TAX
ing them 1 have had no distress at all
after eating, and again after long
years can sleep well. Rev. F. I. Bell,
Col
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markable remedy, not only because
it is a certain cure for all forms of
Indigestion, but because it. seems to
act as thoroughly in old chronic cases
of Dyspepsia as well as in mild at
tacks of indigestion or biliousness.
A person has dyspepsia simply be-
cause the stomach is overworked, all
it wants is a harmless, vegetable rem
edy to digest the food and thus give
it the much needed rest.
This is the secret of the success Of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di-
gestiOn may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach, but to every organ and
nerve in the body. A trial of this
splendid medicine will convince the
most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles can be cured. The
tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co., of Marshall, Mich, but
so popular has the remedy become
that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
now be obtained at any drug store at
90 cents per package. Send for book

BAH no BE ASKED.

BAIL TO BE ASKED.
The jurors were evidently of the
opinion that this statement was
enough to give the public at this time,
and declining to be interviewed, passed
through the rear room of the court
room, and took the freight elevator to
States Attorney Deneen's room. Here
they were given their vouchers for
their long service.
The jurors were elated to again walk
forth in the fresh air free men after
nearly nine weeks of confinement in
crowded court room. They shook hands
with each other as they separated at
the LIE Grand hotel, whittier they
went in a body to procure some per-
sonal effects they had left in their
rooms. For his services each of the
jurors drew $116. During the eight
weeks five days service each of the
jurors had made four demands for
money, and today checks for $36 each
were handed them in final payment.
Ex-Judge Vincent was rather pleased
than otherwise over the verdict,
though he declared that his client
was a perfectly innocent man and
should have been acquitted. But the
fact that nine of the jurors differed
with him seemed to impress Luetgert's S
chief counsel with the belief that the
verdict was not so bad after all. To-
morrow, ex-Judge Vincent will urge
the motion asking that Luetgert be
admitted to bail
At 1 o'clock this afternoon, counsel
for Luetgert gave States Attorney De-
neen notice that they would, tomorrow
morning, at 10 o'clock make a formal
application before Judge Tuthill, for
the admission of the prisoner to bail.
Judge Tuthill will be asked to fix the
amount Of bail at $4,000, but Luetgert
will enter court prepared to furnish
bonds of $4,000 if necessary. States
Attorney Deneen was not prepared to
say whether or not he would resist the
application.
THE admission of a prisoner to bail
is discretionary with the COURT he
said after the application is made
| in court, [ may express my views upon
the matter if the court desires to hear
them.
''Yes, strive will try him again." con-
tinued States Attorney Deneen, when
asked as to the proba ability of Luetgert
being brought before the court a sec
ond time. when we will get at it,
however, is something I can't tell you
| now. We have had nine weeks of this,
and [ must have a couple of weeks
rest. After that, we will look the
ground over, and get our evidence to-
| gether. The case stands now with us
as though this had never been a trial

COLONIAL DEFENSE.
England Greatly Interested in the
Matter Just Now.

LONDON, Oct. 2O.-In connection
with the increase in the strength of
the British army, the defense of the
colonies of Great Britain is receiving
unusual attention. The government
has just dispatched, a former under
secretary of state for war; Sir Ralph
Wood Thompson, to Australia, with in
structions to report to the war office
upon the condition of the defenses of
the Australian colonies, to urge an in
crease of the colonial forces, and to
submit proposals for arming the local
troops and exchanging battalions from
Australia with those of the motherland.
The mission of w. S. Fielding, the Can
adian minister of finance, to Great
Britain, also includes discussing with
the colonial office what proportion Of
100000 pounds which it is proposed
to expend in strengthening the Cam
adian defenses, should be borne by the
imperial government. The Indian coun-
Gil and the war office are said to be
considering important measures in
volving the addition of one-third to the
strength of the Indian army.
