Attempt to Have a Receiver
Appointed For TIT. & s. Road
Discussed by General Manager
L. E. Walker.
SAYS IT'S A HOLD UP.
Commercial Travellers Take Up
Baggage Rates.
EmpOria Engineer Patents a
New Cab Attachment.

Hutchinson, Aug. al Z. Walker,
general manager of the Hutchinson &
Southern road, returned home last
evening from a business trip over the
road He was questioned regarding the
suit brought by F. c. Smith for the ap-
pOintment of a receiver. Mr.. Walker
states that he looks upon the suit as the
plainest kind of a sensational hold
up"
Mr.. Walker says that Smith, with the
rest, signed notes for the first payment
on the road, but when the notes had to
be paid Smith said that he could not
raise the money and would have to let
1t go. The company, says Mr.. Walker,
stands ready at any time, and have al
ways stood ready, to issue Mr.. Smith
his stock on his paying the share of
the purchase money as promised. 1t
is also ready to issue him stock in pro-
portion to any part of the sum he will
pay in. He also says that it was the
desire OF the company to have Mr..
Smith stay in and keep up his end of
the contracts, and that Mr. Smith was
urged to do so. The company, says
Mr.. Walker, has not heard from Mr.
Smith for a year and a half, and about
that far back a letter was written him
requesting him to send his share of the
payment of the notes, which letter has
never been answered. The company had
no other idea than that Smith had
drawn out.
The company, said Mr.. Walker, will
resist to the last this attempt to hold
it up, if such it proves to be. If Mr..
Smith is really in good faith in wanting
a share in the road and will pay his
part up to date the stock will be issued
to him.
The appointment of a receiver just
now would be an unfortunate thing for
the road. It is now upon a paying ba-
sis with good prospects ahead, and the
appointment of a receiver and all that
it would entail would be a serious
draw back.

Much Disaffection Manifested at Mad

London.Aug. "A dispatch from Madrid
says:
Yesterday a regiment stationed here
showed such aggressive signs of disaffec-

taken. Three of the ringleaders were ar

piciOns numerous changes have been made
among the officers of other regiments.
It is not known whether CarIism or Re
pubHcanism is at the bottom of the dis
affection, but the changes have caused a
deal of unpleasantness, because in some
cases the suspicious were quite ground

AN ENGINEERS INVENTION.
Emporia Railroad Man Secures a
Patent on an Order File.

Emporia, Aug. "A. McKanna, of
this city, has invented an order file for
locomotive engineers, upon which a
patent was issued to him, July %, 1898.
Mr. McKenna's invention is simple but
ingenious, and if it shall be placed in
general use on railroads it will doubt
less be the means of preventing many
accidents by keeping orders so conspic-
uously before engineers that they can
not easily be overlooked or forgotten.
Mr.. McKenna is a member of division
$50 Locomotive Engineers, and is one of
the Oldest engineers in active service
It is his intention to have these order

NOW ZOE RAGeAaE RATEs.
Commercial Travellers STILL After the
Railroads.

Having secured the adoption Of inter-
changeable mileage both in eastern and
western territory after a fight of sew
eral years, the commercial travellers Of
the United States have turned their at
tentiOn to the question of excess bag
gage, and now are demanding greater
privileges at the hands of the railroads.
The gentlemen of the griPsack ask
either for a reduction in the charge for
carrying excess baggage or an increase
in the amount carried without charge.
The free allowance upon practically all
of the railroads of the country is $50
pounds. This may be in a single trunk
or several, the only question being that
but $50 pounds is to be carried on a.
single ticket. Excess baggage is
charged for at the rate of y per cent of
the fare paid for each 100 pounds or
fraction thereof above the free allow
ance.
In their argument for a reduction in
the excess charge or an increase in the
free allowance the commercial travellers
make most of the alleged fact that
while passenger fares have decreased
greatly within the last twenty years
the excess baggage regulations have re-
manned unchanged. They argue that
a decrease in fares should carry with it
also a greater concession regarding
baggage.

SHAFTER TO BLAME.

''Siboney, Cuba, July lin the present

have been aware of this. 1t is said the

Causes of the Disease.

rived at SibOney on July to find that
thousands of refugees from infected dis
tricts were permitted to enter the camps
suspecting soldiers. All along the road
from the base of operations to the line
of entertainments could be seen at short
intervals scenes which were sure to bring
in strange land and among strange peO-
pie, enjoyed at first the novelty and were
exchanging coins not knowing how dear

such q questionable privilege. Houses
and huts in which yellow fever had ragged
germs of the disease were inhaled a
matter of course. The results of such
intimate association of our susceptible
troops with the natives could readily be
