A H1BERN1AN STATION.
The Murphy Shipping on the Santa Fe
to Be Named Murphy.

Mr.. z. G. Cook, late of Houston, Tex,
has commenced the publication of the
Railway Journal in st. Louis, and in
the initial number prints an interesting
story of the recently established station
of Frisby on the Santa Fe near Turner.
1t reads:
1.-THE way the officials of the Santa
Fe have ever been mindful of their
patrons has always demanded my deep
est praise, but I must say, and say
it without any feeling of antipathy,
that I verify believe that some one con-
nected with that great line has recently
been guilty, Internationally, of an
egregiOus blunder A few weeks ago
a large potato prOducer-Or more prop
erly I should say, producer of large
quantity of potatoes, appealed to the
company to put in a switch on his place
to facilitate the shipping of his annual
crop of tubers. This was soon done.
1t was the proper thing at the proper
time.
But the mistake followed from that
point In all the Santa FEES extensive
history it never had a more opportune
time to name a switch Murphy, and
hold forever the undivided friendship,
gratitude and patronage of the irish
fraternity of Kansas. But did it do it?
Never! The switch was chriStened
Frisby, in honor of the common indlV1d-
uaI who owns the potato patch. Now,
when the Santa Fe officials find that
they have perpetrated a breach of
fidelity with the Sons of Erin they VIII
take my advice and rename the station
Murphy and make a state occasion
of the event.

Fierce Rate War Now On In the
City of AtchisOn.
Rock Island and Missouri Paci-
t1c Agents Underbid Each Other
RATES DEMORALIZED.
Negro POrters SuppIant White
Brakemen ON the Santa Fe.
Hollywood Extension of theSanta
Fe Abandoned

Kansas City, Aug. 5.-Roads running
into Atchison are engaged in a pas
senger rate war that threatens to have
its ending in even greater demoraliza-
ton than now exists. When the Rock
Island reopened its Office there recently
it appointed as city passenger agent
Ed McKeon, who has always been
known as a business getter, although
never as a maintainer of rates. Mr..
AcKeon when a ticket agent in Kansas
City several years ago was in the habit
of buying watch chains and other sim
liar articles at high prices from pas
SengerS as an offset to a cut in rates,
and when he left the passenger service
was considered well equipped to enter
the ticket brokerage business, in which
he engaged in Chicago until his appoint
ment by the Rock Island as its pas
Senger representative at AtchisOn.
The Rock Island established an up
town office in AtchisOn, something none
of the other roads had there, none ex-
cept the Missouri Pacific having any
passenger office, tickets of the other
roads being sold exclusively at the
Union depot. Charlie Styles, passenger
agent of the Missouri Pacific at Atchi-
son, has lived there for tWenty-eight
years and has a personal acquaintance
with every man, woman and child in
the city. Mr.. McKeOn started in to rival
him in the matter of acquaintance and
is alleged to have sat at nights on the
doorsteps of prospective passengers to
whom he recited the advantages of the
Rock Island route over all others. He is
also said to have cut rates whenever
necessary, and as a result for a time
secured the bulk of the business.
Mr.. Styles resented all this, and final
~ he told all his friends that he would
make rates to all points a dollar under
those offered by McKeOn. He has been
religiOusly trying to do this, and Nc
Keen has been making an equal effort
to cut under the best rates the Missouri
Pacific could offer. The other roads
watched the fight for a time and then
joined in, with a. result that passenger
tariffs have lately cut no figure in rates
to competitive points out of AtchisOn.
A conference will probably be called
to adjust the matter.

WANT OPEN PORTS.
Illinois Manufacturers Plead for New
Markets.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-A big move has
been made to include in the peace trea-
ty with Spain provisions for opening
new markets for the products of Ameri-
can industry. The following telegram
was sent to President Mckinley:
To the President, Washington, D. C.:
The following preamble and resolu-
tons were passed at a meeting Of the
directors of the Illinois Manufacturers
association in this city today:
Whereas, Negotiations for peace are
now pending between this country and
Spain, in which negotiations the presl-
dent has outlined his demands; and,
Whereas, 1t is believed that such
negotiations will result in the appoint
ment of ministers of both countries for
the purpose of drafting a treaty of
peace, and whereas it is of great i'm
country and consequently Of equal i'm
pOrtance to all of it's people, that the
markets of the world be opened to dts
manufacturers; now, therefore, be it,
Resolved, In not any way expressing
an opinion upon the question of acQuisl-
ton of Spanish territory by this coun-
try, that it is the sense of this associa-
ton that the president Of the United
States be and he is hereby respectfully
requested to instruct those having IN
charge for this country the conclusion
of such treaty of peace, to exact that
the ports of all Spanish territory in the
Pacific ocean be opened upon the most
liberal terms to all products of Amer1-
can industry; be it further
Resolved, That the secretary of this
associations send a copy of these resolu-
lions to President Mckinley.

INDIAN MINIS.
Reports That They viii Be Re-
opened to Silver.

Denver. Colo, Aug. 5.-A special to
the Times from Washington, D. c.,
says:
Information has been received here
from London through private channels
to the effect that the Indian minis are
to be re-opened to free coinage and the
assertion is made that this will occur
at an Unexpectedly early date.
There is a strong effort to have the
ratio changed from 16 to 1, to % to l.
and it is asserted that a willingness to
assent to this change has been evinced
by both the United States and France.
The establishment of a ratio of p to 1
would have the effect of increasing
the present price of silver, but it would
on the other hand probably prevent for
ever the restoration of the ratio Of 16 to
1.
There is some disposition to doubt the
accuracy of the information but this
doubt appears to arise largely from the
fact that it is unexpected.

SANTIAGO TO BE CLEANED.
Forty Deaths Day From Malarial

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 5.-Santiago.
the historic and newly acquired possess
sion of the United States ending its
transferral TO the Cubans, is proving a
dangerous bit Of conquest. The city has
been faithfully cleaned and disinfected
but, despite all precautions, fever RACES
Among the residents of the place, it is
true, there are few cases of yellow
fever, owing to the fact that this class
is acclimated But yellow fever is not
ties have to deal. Other diseases are
numerous, and the death rate is I'M
commonly high, even for this tropical
city Of interesting and romantic his
tory.
Among the diseases which are caus-
malarfal fever and dySentery. From
these causes alone the average mOrtali-
ty is reported by Sanitary Inspector
CamanerO to be forty a day. When
this report was made to the military
governor, Gen. Wood, he Immediately
called upon Camanero for suggestions
as to the best plans to be adopted to
check the epidemic. In reply, the SAM
taTy inspector announced that more
stringent precautions were absolutely
necessary. He stated that nothing
short of a thorough disinfection of the
town would bring it to the desired per-
centage.
Gen. Wood has ordered that the
cleaning process be carried out thor
Oughly; to disinfect the place and prac-
tically remove everything dangerous to
health. Sanitation was not part of the
knowledge of the Spaniards. For cen
turtles they have allowed the city to
reek with filth, and the ground is now
thoroughly soaked with sewage. De-
spite the obstacles which confront the
sanitary authorities, it is hoped that
the town will be in a comparatively
healthy condition within a short time.

Commissioner of immigration North

ton similar in it's aims and purposes to
a Chinese highlander tong. Wakaya-

organized for benevolent and social
purposes, the members are bound by
code, which compels them to obey the
desires of a majority of their number.
All the members of the society carry
a sword concealed in a cane or UNI
brella but pistols and knives are not
dispised. Funds for the maintenance
of the society have been solicited from
Japanese all through the state.
