stated that there were 283 votes cast in

this number Governor Leedy received 90
and Stanley 191. Curtis received 200 for

talions of the regiment, but it is said that
the Leedy voters were inundated from

WRECK NEAR GREAT BEND.
Santa Fe Strikes a Broken Rail
Ditching IA Cars.

Great Bend, Nov. 28.-The trains
which have been running over the ''cut
off, caused by the wreck of Friday
night are again back on the main line
and the track is cleared.
The cause of the trouble was the
wreck of extra 27S, an east bound Santa
Fe freight, in charge of Conductor
Roach and Engineer McClaren, 10 miles
west of this city, piling up IA cars in the
ditch. No one was hurt except Road
master West, who was hurled through
the cupOla of the cabOOse, receiving
slight injuries about the head. The
train was running at a high rate OF
speed. and it seems miraculous that
none of the crew were injured. The
cause of the wreck is unknown, al
though supposed to have been the result
of q. broken rail.

A NEW DEPARTMENT
To Deal With Tariff Matters Recon-
mended to the President.

Chicago. Nov. 2S.-The National Business
league today sent to President Mckinley
a long letter relative to the establishment
of a department of commerce and indus
tries. The letter. which is signed by
Ferdinand w. Peck, Erskine NJ. Phelps, A
H. Revell, John w. Ella, E. G. Keith and
the other members of the executive, com
mittee of the league, urges favorable ac-
ton on bills for the esta blishment of the
department which are now pending in con-
gress. The letter says in part: THE ex-
pansiOn of our commercial relations to in
clude many new people, living under wide
ly different conditions, seems to deepen the
conviction already growing in the minds
of our business men that tariff questions
are getting to be questions of fact for ex-
perts rather than for party politics. We
submit that whether these questions are
in politics or not, department of COM
merce and Industries might provide facili-
ties through which competent non-part-
san experts could make investigations and
report before legislation on any contem-
plated change in the tariff schedule, as
would enable congress to take action with
comparatively accurate knowledge as to
its effects and the wholesale revisions of
the tariff, so damaging to general busi-
ness interests, nights be avoided"

A CABLE TO HAWAII.
Is Recommended by the President in
His Message.

New York, Nov. 2S.-A special to the
World from Washington says:
A cable between the United States and
the Hawaiian islands will undoubtedly be
provided for a the forthcoming session of
congress. The correspondent is informed
by an official close to the president that
suggest the advisabflity of cable CON
nectiOn between San Francisco and Hon
olulu. The Bennett Hawaiian cable bill,
now pending before the house committee
on Interstate commerce, is looked upon
with considerable favor and the probabili-
ties are that it will be taken up and
passed.
The Bennett measure provides for the
granting of certain concessions by this
government to the Pacific company and
guarantees bonds of the company in con-
sideration of the free transmission of gov
eminent messages over the line for a
period of twenty wears.

SANTA FE MEETS THE RATE.
Dressed Beef Carried From Z. C. to
Chicago for 10 Cents.

Kansas City. Nov. 28.-Instead of be-
coming settled, the freight rates out OF
Kansas City are getting into a worse
condition than ever and the freight
tiers are in a bad way. The Maple
Leaf tariff recently published seems to
be at the bottom of the trouble, or at
least the railroad officials see fit to pre-
tend that it is.
The latest development in the situa-
ton came yesterday, when the Santa
Fe announced that it would meet the
Maple Leaf tariff on dressed beef from
Kansas City to Chicago. The rate is
accordingly reduced from 2315 cents to
Is cents on dressed beef. UP to the
hour of closing Saturday night the other
roads had not received notice to meet
the rates, but there is no doubt of the
fact that they will be compelled to do

DINERS INTO CHICAGO.
Change in Schedule on the Santa Fe
to Accommodate Travellers.

"A supplement to the present winter
time card on the Santa Fe went into eff
feet Sunday changing the time of the
eastbOund limited trains between La
Junta and Chicago. Since the inaugu-
ration of the limited service this year
the eastbOund trains have not carried
dining cars into Chicago, as the time
of arrival has been shortly after 8
o'clock in the morning, and the man
agement believed the passengers would
as soon wait until they arrived at the
hotels for their morning meal This be-
lief, however, has proved false, and
there has been some complaint because
of the failure of the company, to make
diners a part of the equipment of the
eastbound trains into Chicago. AS a
result the schedule time of the trains
will be stretched by the supplement eff
fective tomorrow, and the time of ar
rival in Chicago made an hour later so
that diners may be added to the equip

SHEEP SHUT UP
In the Mountains by Three Feet OF
Snow.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 2S.-Thousands
of sheep are imprisoned in the noun
tains near Pendleton, Ore. Three feet
of snow has fallen in the foothills there
and the sheep can not get through 1t TO
the valleys below. This situation re-
suits from the fact that sheepmen have
kept their sheep on the mountain ranges
as long as possible on account OF the
dryness and lack of grass outside. IN
less chinook winds blow and melt the
snow, sheepmen will be unable to bring
their stock out without heavy loss.
