CHICAGO, March 2.-Traffic managers of
Iowa lines had a conference today with rep
resentatives of the railroad commission of
that state regarding an emergency rate on
corn. The commission asked that such a
rate be put in effect for ninety days to al
low soft corn to be marketed before hot
weather sets in. The traffic managers de-
clined the request, holding that no good
purpose would be served by it. The Board
of Administration of the Western Freight

rate on apples from Missouri river points to
the Mississippi river, and from st. Pan. to

in the ceremonies. While his condition il
not such as to excite any alarm, it is ex.
tremely painful. Secretary Thurber admitted
today that the president was confined to his
bed. Surgeon Steinberg of the army wal
called in yesterday. He said that rest and
nursing We're all that were needed to put the
PRESIDENT back on his feet, but he advised
quiet and as little worry as possible over
official duties.
For several days the president has beer
receiving no visitors and all his Office work
has been transacted sitting at his desk with
one leg swashed in bandages and resting or
a chair. Today he was not able even to &C

causing anxiety to senators and representa-.
tiveo OF both parties who fear that it may
cause him to leave unsigned a number OF
minor bills of particular interest to the mem
bers who have been pushing them and which
otherwise would have received the presi,
dents signature before the close of his term
of office.

MIR. CLEvELAND's SOCIAL SIDE.
One Feature of the OUTGOING Admin.
istrnIiOm Not Mmch. IMlerstOOd.

NEW YORK, March 2.rTJRev. Tennis L.,
Hamlin, ID. d., writes to the Independent
from Washington:
A change in the national administrator
means much to the residents of Washing
ton. In the days before the reformed
civil service II meant loss of employment
by thousands, much distress in conse-
quence, the removal of Il great many fami-
lies, and wide readjustments throughout
all classes of society, This is, at present,
less to be considered, since the protection
Of the law covers nearly all places in the
departments, and the changes are so few
as to be hardly noticeable. But the soc al
aspects of our quadrennial revolution are
as significant as eyer; indeed more So
since its business influence is less.
The executive mansion, the cabinet
houses and, in some cases, the houses of
assistant secretaries, are social %centers;
on certain days they are open to the pub
lie, and any one may call. There are card
receptions to which officials and leading
citizens are invited, and where not a few
go without invitation. though this is as
distinct an abuse OF hospitality at the
capitol as IL would be In any other city.
There are dinners which are either en-
tirely private, as elsewhere, or official as
the peculiar circumstances require.

Rock Island Wins the Suit.

An important decree was received yester-
day by the clerk of the district court from
Judge Green. The decree lis in the form
of a permanent injunction which forever
bars the city of Council Bluffs from enter
Ing upon the premises and right or way OF
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company through Riddles subdivision or at
tempting to open a street or public thor
oughfare at Seventh street, between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth avenues. This is
Judge Green's final decision in the hight
made by the city to compel the Rock Island
to open a crossing at Seventh street. The
city council has passed numerous resolu-
lions in answer to more numerous petitions
ordering the railway company to open the
street, which Ii was claimed to be occupying
without authority from the city. The reso-
buttons were productive of no results, and
the city finally ordered the city marshal, as
its executive officer, to tear down the OBJ
structions the railway company had placed
at the point where the street was supposed
to be located. This resolution, which was
adopted last fall, produced an unlocked for
result in the shape of an application for a
temporary injunction restraining the officer
from executing the orders of the council,
The temporary injunction was granted and
the time for hearing the arguments fixed
for December 2S. The city presented its case
and the attorneys for the railway made the
contrary showing. The contention of the
railway company was that its original charter
ana grant or right OF way hNed the street
crossings and that the city had no right at
a later date to change the plat and fix ad-
ditional crossings without its consent. This
consent had never been secured, and the
railway company maintained its rights.
Judge Green took the case under advise
ment. His decree yesterday fully sustains
the railway company in all of its conten-
tions.
The only way the city can now proceed
TO open the street is to condemn the property
in the usual form and pay the damages. This
will likely be done at some time not far
In the future, for the residents In the vi
cinity complain bitterly of being shut out
from necessary street privileges.

on the Chnrge of Murder.

HAMBURG, Ia, March 2.-(Special)-
Ernest Hern, foreman of the immense farm
belonging to Miller Payne, who was shot
by j. d. Chapman, died this afternoon. The
ball had entered the skull over the left eye,
passed through the brain and was extracted
from the back part of the head.
1t is said that Miss Jennie Nix, the young
woman who boarded at Chapman's home,
where young Hern visited her, was about to
leave the school where she taught for a
number of years in consequence of the
rumors circulated about her by Chapman.
Chapman had made serious charges in pub
lie, involving the moral conduct of Miss Nix
and young Hern, and declares that his
statements were based on what he had
actually seen through a hole in the door
which he had made for the purpose. Hern,
with two of the directors, DR.. Givins and
Mr.. Wray, called on Chapman to sign a re-
traction, and when he refused Hern grabbed
him by the coat collar and threatened to
thrash him. Then it was that Chapman
drew his revolver and fired.
Chapman is now out on 5 1000 bonds. The
trial is set for tomorrow. There is much eX-
