Not Cuttinr Rates,

Kansas City. Mo-. Jan. 13-A circular
issued by J. w. Midgcly, chairman of
the Western Freight association and
placed in TIE hands of managers of local
railroads today, seeks to correct the
claim recently made by several roads
that the Kansas City. Pittsbnrg and
Gulf Railroad is shipping export grain
To the gulf over it's line from here at
reduced rates. The circular says that
the Gulf road has only not made the
cut in rates, but that it is not handling

EXECUTION SESSION.
Preliminary Speeches Were Made on
the Hawaiian Annexation
Scheme.

Scheme.
Washington, Jan. 13.-The senate to-
day did not make good progress with
the Hawaiian annexation treaty. Sew
cral speeches were delivered, but in
every instance the speakers announced
that tOday's remarks were merely prelim-
mary to what they should say after the
close of the debate.
Senator Morgan of Alabama made the
principal speech of the day and occupied
the time of the senate until it adjourned
lie went into detailed history of the
Hawaiian islands, from the time of the
discovery to the present Mr.. Morgan
gave a detail of his recent trip to the
islands and related his own personal OBJ
seryations, and in reply to a question
explained why the Portuguese could not
vote. He then turned his attention to
the Kanakas. He said they were a pic
turesque people who would be much bet
ter off under the government of the
United States. He spoke of the ladies
going barefooted along, the streets in
big, loose gowns, and the men with lit
tie clothing, but yet strong and manly
looking fellows.
Senator White asked Mr.. Morgan why
the islands were not annexed in 1913.
and how it was that the proposal for an
neXation had to wait until the islands
were in the possession of the land grab
bers who were trying to further their
personal fortunes. Senator Morgan said
that if attention had been given to his
remarks on the subject of annexation in
1912 senators would have understood
what interviewed. The history of that
time was in the documentary evidence
which had been printed and discussed
often before. He believed that the isl
ands should have been annexed at that
time and believed that they should be

"Thc West Side" and the east side
In Oklahoma In Convention.
Kingiisher, o. r., Jan. 13.-The inter-
partisan statehood convention met here
today. Involved in its deliberations are
the removal of the capital and the ques-
ton of free hOmesteads for Cherokee
strip. settlers.
"rhc west side" favors immediate
statehood for Oklahoma, with present
boundaries, expecting to take the CAPT
tai from Guthrie.
The east side" wants statehood de-
ferred until Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory may be admitted as one state,
believing that this would effcctually re-
tain the capital.
The free silver element oppose imme-
date statehood, fearing the election of
republican senator's. The Cherokee strip
opposed immediate statehood, deeming
free homes of more Importance and fear
ing to ask congress for too much ut once.
A big split is likely to occur, and eXcit
ing scenes are anticipated.

A DIG VERDICT.
II WINS Set Aside Because of I'm
proper Instruction Given the

Chicago, Jan. 13.-The big verdict
given Tngineer Frederick X. Ketcham
against the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad for alleged blacklsting was to-
day set aside by Judge Clifford. A new
trial is granted. BY the verdict Kctch-
am had been awarded $21 600 damages.
The case was an outgrowth of the Debs
strike.
The ground on which the court set
aside the verdict and grants new trial
is that of an improper instruction given
the jury in the plaintiffs behalf. The
court said in giving his decision, that
the reviewing court would need nothing
more than a mere inspection of the
verdict to set it aside.

Nearly all Of the petitions of the

the last day under the law upon which
they may be filed and only the candi-

ticularly long lists waited until today
John j. OConnor had the longest list
in the lot, but there We're many that
ran far beyond the legal requirement
1t was said yesterday that none Of
the PCpulist lists had been filed, and it
was not thought they would be general
ly, though in one or two cases Repub-
licans had been out circulating the petit
tions in order to secure the fling. This
is particularly true of the man who is
running in the interest Of Jabez Watson
and against Dick McNamee. The nomi-
nees had given up the dIsheartening
work Of getting the lists signed. There
was no appearance made on the part Of
the Hi Henry-Fuller Democrats with
petitions, and they will try to get on the
ballot by nomination-in which they
will, of course, fail.
