COMMISSIONS TOO HIGH.
Western Railways May Not, However,
Re Able TO Abolish Them.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-For the last ten days
the Western roads have been trying to get
the excessive commissions that all of them
have been paying off the market. The
chances are that they will not succeed, at
least not until all the October business has
been handled. The matter was discussed at
the recent meeting of the executive officers
in this city, and it was agreed that il would
be impossible for the commissions to be
Withdrawn as long as the Union Pacific
continued to hold its present position re-
gardlng the Oregon ShorI-line. Inc present
nigh commissions are the outgroWtn of a
circular issued by the Milwaukee a St Paul
offering a commission on the first ticket
sola over its new route to Canfornia. When
the matter was discussed at the meeting OF
the executive oncers the Milwaukee road
offered to cease paying the commissions IN
the other roads would do the same thing
The Burlington road declared that IL wound
not be able to withdraw its commissions
until after the 1st of November, and the
matter must necessarily go over until that
time.
A call was issued to-day for a meeting of
the Southwestern lines to be held in Gin
cinnau Oct. IA for the purpose of consider
ing winter tourist rates and the points to
which they shall be applied.
There is little likelihood that the roads
running east from Chicago will follow th.
action of the northern roads and raise the
rates on east-bOund grain ana flour They
traffic has been going East by the northern
routes and they are not willing to take
action that might result IN the loss of anv
greater portion of it 10 them. 1t is likelv
that a meeting of the traffic officials of the
Eastern roads will be held la the near future
to consider the action of the northern roads
and to decide upon the best line of action
for the roads out of Chicago to pursue.

Spanish Cabinet Confirms It's Decision

MADRID, Oct 9.--The Cabinet to-day held
four hours session, during which the de-

recall from Cuba of Captain General Weyler
was confirmed.
Ell Heraldo makes the announcement that
the captain general of Porto Rico will be
appointed acting governor of Cuba pending
the arrival of Marshal Blanco.
In reply to an inquiry by Premier Sagasta
Captain General Weyler has cabled the fol-

NOT ONLY FIRM HELD.
Others Are Afraid to- Tell How They
Were BIed,

"Fulmer and Seibert are not the only ones
that have been held up and forced to de-
liver" said another contractor yesterday
There are others, but since the newspapers
have shown a disposition to regard the
robbed just as guilty as the robbers, 1 do
not think any of them will be likely to tell
their troubles. According to the code of the
News if man is held up in the road with
a pistol to his face and opens his purse
to the highwayman he is as great villain
as the men who held him up. Here was
the situation with Fumer and Seibert: They
had estimated a certain amount for pumping
in their bid. Upon the level they were build
ing on they struck an unexpected vein of
water and spent thousands of dollars in
pumping without making any progress to
speak of in the work. They asked a change
of specifications, setting forth the fact that
they had already expended very large sums
in pumping. They did not get the change.
and it looked as though they were going to
lose all they had put in If they quit, or spend
tens of thousands more in pumping if they
kept on They went TO Holt, who had
helped them to get the money to undertake
the work They thought he would help
them, and he later told them the change
could be obtained for 5000. 1t was hold

Governor AtlxinsOn's Plan for Doing
Away with Present Lease System.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct Ex-Governor Atxin-
son to-day made public that portion of his
message to the General Assembly which
meets on the 9th inst, in which he dis
cusses the disposition of the States convicts
on the expiration of the present leases. The
Governor recommends the appointment of
prison commission of three citizens, in whom
shall be vested the power to locate and pre-
pare a penitentiray with separate quarters
for boys men and women. The equipment
of the penitentiary should only be sufficient
to accommodate the boys, women, men not
classed as able-bodied, and such able-bodied
on which they might be engaged by the
prison commission. The labor of the other
abled-bodie cohvicts should be hired out
for the term of five years. This last resolu-
ton, the Governor explains, is intended to
relieve the taxpayers of the State of the
enormous outlay that would be needed to
care for and keep employed the 2,224 con-
Vcts which the State now has.

tary pumps, and with them at work it was
unable to make any progress that would
enable it to complete the work. On one day
the total progress made was six lineal feet.
From the time it struck this point until the
change in specifications was granted the
company expended about $1,000 in pumping
alone. There is no telling how much they
would have had to spend had the change
not been granted -

Twelve hundred Japanese laborers are on

contracts for plantation laborers, and it is
asserted by prominent japanese in this city

have the same citizenship rights as Will the

AN ANTITRUST PLEDGE.
President SfckinIey's Opposition to
Oppressive Combines.

President MckinIey's Opposition to
Oppressive Combines.
Although an inaugural address means
no more than the subsequent conduct
| OF the speaker shows it to mean, some
thing is gained by President McKinley's
expression of unqualified opposition TO
oppressive combines for the regulation
of prices or of transportation rates.
This pledge of the president to do all
in his power to smash the trusts was not
given in the heat of campaign, when
the temptation to catch votes is we'll
nigh irresistible. 1t was given in the
elaboration of careful preparation for
an office Entrusted to him by the peo-
ple. If it means nothing, it stands for
deliberate and wanton intention to
deceive.
1t is presumed that the president
knew the full purport of such pledge
and that it placed upon him the obliga-
ton to spare no legitimate exercise of
his power and influence in the shaping
and execution Of laws to protect the
people from the oppression of the
monopolistic combines. This obliga-
ton embraces the approval of all proper
4SS aSidAAoA ~ dSSLkOs TIC oppressive
combines. to disapprove all legislation
tending to favor or in any way to en-
courage them and to select officials who
viii enforce antitrust legislation.
Many of the trusts now in existence
received their initial opportunity in the
Mckinley tariff law. Some are still
profting by tariff legislation. If Presi
dent Mckinley is true to his pledge he
viii refuse to approve any tariff law
which gives profitable opportunity to
trust or in any way favors trust. Un-
less the republicans in congress are
willing to reflect discredit on the re-
publican administration they viii shape
legislation in accordance with the
promise of the president.
Democrats in congress in the presi-
DENTS antitrust utterance have a
strong weapon with which to combat
monoPolistic legislation in behalf of the
Hanna syndicate. Every tariff tax on
an article controlled by combine may
be condemned out of the mouth of Mr..
McKinley.-St. Louis Republic.

M'KENNAsS IDEA,
Thinks We Might Get International
BimefaIIism by Diplomacy.


The late Gen. Francis a Walker be
lieved that more could be accomplished
for international DiEetaIlism through
diplomatic negotiations than through
the medium of monetary conference.
Now another bimetallist comes out in
support of the same plan.
An interview with Judge Joseph Nc
Kenna, who represents the Pacific
coast in McKinley's cabinet. has been
recently published. McKenna doubt
less realizes that the gold standard is
not popular in the Pacific coast states,
and when he was asked what he
thought of the attempt Of portion of
the republicans to ignore the plank
about international bimetallism, he re-
piled: That viii not succeed. Inter
national bimetallism is the policy of
the republican party, and every effort
viii be made to realize il. The presi-
dent can do good deal in that direc-
tion himself through the selections for
the diplomatic positions"
This puts little different phase on
the matter. If Mckinley follows OFT
the ideas OF Judge Mckenna he wiz
be barred from sending gold monomet-
all;sts to represent this country a.
European courts.
