was afflicted, it having assumed seri-

Higher Grain Rates East.

CHICAGO, July 11.-After considering
the question four days, the presidents
of all the big railroads between Chicago
and the Atlantic seaboard have agreed
that on and after Aug. Chicago shippers
must pay from 8 to cents more on the

their grain to the eastern markets.
More than this, the chief executive Of
ficers of these roads say with the new
tariff there will be no more secret deals
with big consignors, that the man with
carload of grain must be given the
same rate as he who can promise train
load, and those rates must be the ones

NO DAMAGES FOR AUSTRIA.

The HazletOn Jury Settled the Riot Claims
Says Uncle Sam.
VIENNA, July 1.-THE United States
government has declined the proposals
of the government of Austro- Hungary
to arbitrate the claims for damages aris-
ing from the death of Austro- Hungarian
subjects during the riots at Hazleton,
Pa, in September, 1897.
WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE officials
here confirm the advices from Vienna
that a plan of arbitration, proposed as a
means of settling claims growing out Of
the Hazleton, Pa, riots, had been re.
jected by the United States. This prob.
ably disposes of the matter, according
to the view held here, as it has run the
entire gamut Of diplomatic negotiations
and all of the plans of settlement, in
Guiding the last one of arbitration, have
come to naught. At the outset the state
Department. called the matter to the at
tention of the governor of Pennsylvania,
who in turn awaited the action of the
jury at Hazleton which tried the sheriff
on the charge Of murder. The jury ac.
quilted the sheriff, whereupon the
Pennsylvania authorities held that they
could not recognize responsibility
which a jury had held did not exist.
The state department. took a similar
view, whereupon Austro-H Hungary pro
posed arbitration of the claims. 1t is
said this last proposal which is rejected,
seems to close the matter, as the
claims are hardly considered of suffi-
cient Importance to justify Austro-
Hungary to go beyond the diplomatic
representations she has already made

william is Going This Time.

KANSAS CITY, July 11.-News comes
from Aikichi, S5 miles east Of Good
land, that William Going, the Choctaw
Indian, has been sentenced to be shot on
Thursday next. The condemned man,
whose Indian name is Walla Tonaka,
killed his uncle, deputy sheriff, when
the latter attempted to arrest him for a
misdemeanor. Tonaka's case was car
ried to the Choctaw supreme court and
the federal court for the territory, but
was remanded to the Choctaw court.
This will probably be the last execution
by shooting under the Choctaw law.

Famous Bond Case peclded.

DUBUQUE. July ll.--Federal Judge
Shiras has decided the famous Lyon
county, Iowa, bond case. The Etna
Life Insurance company sued to recover
bonds amounting to Sl20,00O, issued by
Lyon county in 1885. The county's de-
Tense was that the bonds were void, be-
cause their amounts exceeded the con-
stitutional limit of per cent Of taxed
property. The court finds that $29, 1886
can be enforced without exceeding con-
stitutional limitation, and DEGREES that
the bondholders are entitled to that
amount with ten years interest.
