Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE western roads
have agreed on schedule of percent
ages to be paid on North Pacific coast
business. The list of the percentages

ment.
The eastern roads have notified the
western lines that they will not stand

JAMES r. ROSS,
r. NJ. Dirty"
Colonel Jephtha NJ. Gerard of Gin
cinnati, who has been spoken of as the
candidate of the free silver Republic
ans, when informed that Hanna had
received enough votes to elect him, did

he expected such a result. He said:

doubted

MASON'S MANIFESTO.
Very Potent Reasons Why He OPP
posed Hanna.

Columbus, Jan. Hilary C. Mason
of Cleveland, speaker of the house,
tonight gave out the following:
ITO the Pubiic-The principal reason
why 1 have been opposed to Mr.. Hanna
is because of the fact that two years
ago, when the 50-year franchise bill
was before the legislature, 1 was ap-
preached by man from Cleveland,
who was lobbying in the interest of
that bill. He offered me a bride of
81, 600 if I would vote for that measure
AT my conference with Mr.. Hanna
last Saturday l told him that this rea-
son would prevent me from supporting
him, because l believed he knew the
street railway, of which he was presi-
dent was behind the man who offered
the bride and that he himself was on
the ground lobbying in the interests of
the bill.
