BAD FOR THE sTOCKMEN.
A New Rule of the Railroads
Which viii Work a Hard
ship to Their Industry.

OMAHA, Neb., March 23.-The west
ern roads have definitely decided to
abolish the feeding-in-transit rates
which have been granted to stockmen
for the past several years. The date
has not been definitely decided, though
it will probably be May 20. The Kan
sas roads cannot change the rate much
sooner than that, as the state lawre-
uuires sixty days notice OF changes. 1t
is the expressed opinion that all roads
will make the change at the same date,
to avoid confusion.
The stockmen in the western range
country have made vigorous but in
effectual fight to retain the rate, as it
has been of immense benefit to them.
The reason given by the railroads is
that the privilege has been abused by
stockmen selling the cattle and bill of
lading after they have been unloaded
aud placed in the feed yards, and also
that the corn consumed deprives the
roads of just that much freight.

under General Miller, north of Jaro
and across the river. The Americans
met with heavy fire. One man was
killed and fifteen wounded of the
Eighteenth regiment. several cases of
sun stroke occurred. General Miller

and one hundred wounded.

DENVER, Colo, March 2l The
wholesale prices of beef were raised
yesterday 4 to cent per pound BY the
packers agents. The reasons assigned
We're that thesuppiy is growing scarcer.
Local representatives. OF the eastern
houses control the situation, for there
is nothing coming into the market
from other sources and the retrilers are
missing the Colorado supply, which has
usually been on hand In greater guam
tity at this season Of the year for use
when the prices of the eastern stuff
were elevated beyond a certain point.
Last week the wholesale price of the
beef steer market was 6 cents. Now
1t is 61S cents. Cows, dressed, were
supplied last week to butchers at 5.
cents, and today they were scarce at
61S to 7cents Fore quarters sold last
week for cents, and today at 51z to 6
cents. Veal, which has been ascend
ing like a rocket since the war with
Spfiin commenced a year ago, was SELF
ing two weeks ago for to 10 cents, but
the wholesale price today was 12K
cents
Until the grass-fed beef commences
to arrive, about July Lit is probable
that the prices will stay where they are
If they do not go higher.

v.-P. ROOSEVELT
Many Republicans Think That
Title Would Sound Well.

New YORK, March Ex-senator
Chandler makes the most significant
statement that has thus far touched
upon the Republican campaign of 1900,.
1t is to the effect that Governor Roose-
velt might be nominated for second
place on the ticket. Mr.. Chandler said /:
There is serious talk at Washington,
about the advisability of running
Roosevelt on the Republican presiden-
tial ticket, for second place mean, be-
cause, of course, there is no possibility
that Mckinley will not be renomi-
nated."
allow about Hobart for renomina-
tionp' Chandler was asked.
"Every senator is thoroughly pleased
with the yice-president." was the reply.
sThere is the highest regard for him,
but the point about choosing Roosevelt
in his stead is that with Roosevelt on
the ticket there would be every proba-
bilitp of carrying the city of New York
and even the state. Governor Roose-
vel., many believe, would greatly
strengthen the ticket"

The Disarmament Proposition.

WASHINGTON, March 70 There is
reason to believe the important .propo-
sition looking to settlement of inter-
nal disputes by arbitration will be adj
yanced alta coming conference by the
American delegates. 1t is learned that
the instructions to the American dele
gates, being prepared by Secretary Hay,
will be complete exposition of the po-
sition of this government on the ques-
tioR Of disarmament and arbitration.
The most important result the officials
expect of the conference will be the
adoption of some plan for reference of
disputes to general arbitration.

generals, colonels and other officers in
profusion, with salaries to match. II
passed the lower house early in the ses.
sion. but when it reached the council
and was referred to the committee on
military affairs. Of which the member
from Santa Fe, Mr.. Catron, was chair
man, it WAS the last of that foolishness.
No one, ever heard OF that measure
again until few days before the close
of the session when inquiry was made
Of the chairman, who asked in replys"if
there was danger Of war breaking out. !"
That was the last notice Of the bill and
its not probable it ever got within a
half mile Of the council chamber after
it was referred to the committee on
military affairs.
