Declares Discriminating Export Rates
Work Hardship to Farmers,

Declares Discriminating Export Rates
WORK Hardship to Farmers.
Washington, Oct. 10.-President s.
r. Galloway, of the New York Central
railroad, and Frank S. Barry, secre-
tary Of the National Millers' associa-
ton, were before the industrial COM
mission yesterday. Mr. Barry's testi-
mony related largely to the export rate
on -four. az compared to that of wheat,
which he said is so discriminating as
to work great hardship upon the Amer
lean millers. He instanced the falling
off in the shipment abroad of flour
from Minneapolis and Duluth in Sep
TENDER Of the present year, showing
that for 1899 the total amounted to
362,810 barrels, as compared with 4S5,-
436 barrels in September, 1898. He as
serted positively that American flour
would be taken by the European buyer
If he could not get our wheat, as the
demand for the flour could not be sup
pressed. Hence, Mr.. Barry concluded,
there must be some concerted purpose
to injure the milling interest of this
country. The inevitable result of this
course was to throw the surplus -four
product upon the domestic market and
also demoralize prices of wheat to the
farmer.
Speaking Of the rate ON articles for
export Mr.. Galloway said he would
admit that exports were carried cheaper
than articles for domestic consumption.
The railroads were compelled to do
this to meet foreign competition, and
he did not consider the practice in
furious to any one. He had heard no
complaint of discrimination in favor
Of grain as against flour. He did not
admit that the government had any
more right to interfere with the man
agement of a railroad system than
with any other line of business. He
did not believe the government own
ership of railroads was practicable.

New York's River Mystery.

New York. Oct. 10.-The mystery
surrounding the identity Of the mu-
tilated woman, portions of whose body
we're found in West Seventeenth street
and in the North river on Saturday,
is still unsolved. Several men and wo-
men have positively identified the dis
membered portions of the body, but
so far those identifications have been
without results. and 1t is believed that
the persons making the Identification
have been mistaken in the matter. Dr.
Albert r. Weston, coroner's physician,
is firmly convinced that the case is a
repetition of the famous White Chapel
murders of London. The body of the
victim was mutiiated In identicafly the
same manner as were the unfortunates
In the London crimes, certain organs
being missing.

Germans Claim Against Germany.


Washington, Oct. 10. - Ferdinand
Holzendorf, aged 81 years, a native Of
Germany, but for some years an Amer
lean citizen, arrived here yesterday to
lay before the state department an in
demnity claim against the German gov
ernment. The basis Of his claim is his
alleged Illegal detention in an insane
asylum in Berlin for over Is months.
His imprisonment occurred after he
had taken out naturalization papers
in the United States. He appeared be-
fore the police officials in Berlin, he as
ssrts, to set up a claim for previous
Incarceration in an insane asylum on
the charge of lese majestic, and was
promptly sent to another asylum. 1t
is for this second Incarceration he
makes his claim.

Steeplechase Rider Killed.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-J. Boyd, the we'll

at Hawthorne yesterday. The acct

steeplechase. Boyd had the mount on
Globe II. The bunch got of well to-
gether, and as the horses swung to-
ward the fence Boyd swerved with the
seeming intention of carrying Cheese
mite out OF the course. He succeeded,
but Globe II crashed against the wing
of the hurdle and turned a complete
somersault, colllding with and knock
ing down Three Forks, and crushing
Boyd SO badly that he died while be-
ing conveyed to the hospital.

McGovern's Speedy Victory,

Chicago, Oct. lot took Terry Nc

Chicago, at Tattersalls. The men

McGovern went at Rotchford in much
the same way he attacked Pedlar Pal
mer month ago in New York, and the
result was about the same. He put
his man to sleep before the crowd had
fairly settled back to watch the sport.
The contest was utterly one sided. Nc
Govern went at his man fiercely, and
Rotchford was soon helpless and
groggy. He tried vainly to save him.
