Switchmen and yardmasters who worked
in the several railroad yards Tuesday
night eagerly awaited the hour when
they should be relieved by. the day men.
The night had been a trying experience.
The fog was so dense in the bottoms where
most of the yards are laid out that it was
utterly impossible for switch lights to be
seen by enginemen or switchmen, and all
were delighted when daylight came and no
serious accidents had been recorded.

up some of the issues that will be before
the people for settlement in the next four
years, Of which he considered the trusts as
most important.
Tho annual report of John w. Hayes, the
general secretary-treasurer of the knights
of Labor, on the condition of the order, was
presented to the general assembly today.
He said:
In spite of cruelty, derision and scorn, for
almost one-third Of a century, the Knights
of 6t Labor a have not only held their ground

organizers, he felt that he could con-

outlook for the future, The last year had

congratulation had it merely held its own
through the trying experiences of the year;
yet, in the face of every disbursement a
most creditable gain in membership had

one third of the membership. He recon-
mended that the general executive board be
directed to issue notice to all local as
sembles who have failed to pay the 25-
cent assessment setting forth in detail the
Importance of paying the same and assist
ing in clearing up all the Indebtedness due
by the general office.
The report Of the general executive board
was read by ]. G. Schofaiber of Maryland.
In part 1t says:
Immediately after the adjournment Of
the general session the members of the gen.
eral executive board met In Washington and
took up the settlement of the Powderly
case. Mr.. Powderly agreed to accept our
settlement and withdraw all suits against
the order. The secretarys report shows
that Mr.. Powderly accepted $1,000 as a set
tlement of back salary due him, the amount
which we had at all times been ready to
pay him in settlement in full. However,
our claim against Powderly for the use of
the orders name and his services in the
publication OF the Labor Day Annual re-
mains unsettled. While the majority of the
board are not yet satisfied as to the best
course to pursue in reference to this latter
matter, we are of the opinion that some
thing ought to be done by order of the gen.
eral assembly"

CONTINUE TO RAISE THE RATES.
Advances in Passenger and Freight
Tnrifis Hnve Not Reached an End

Advances in Passenger nnd Freight
Tariffs Have Not Reached an End.
In accordance with the advances in freight
and passenger rates, individually agreed
upon by all the railroads, tariffs in passen-
ger departments are more stable today than
they have been in several months, and rates
for shipments of freights are in many in
stances, higher than for long time
In passenger circles, through the eXer-
tions of the Western Passenger association
rates from Chicago to Missouri river points
which took a tumble several weeks ago as
the result of stiff competition are now
restored to their normal basis. This means
that 1t will cost $12.75 for a ticket from
Chicago to Omaha, and $12.50 from Chicago
to Kansas City. A shave of about S. had
been made on these rates. While there
was no open reduction of rates from Mis-
souri, river points eastbound, all the rail-
roads, 1t Is asserted, have been selling tick
cts at figures considerably lower than pub
lished tariffs. The restoration OF west
bound rates to normal tariff will cause an
abatement OF undersellng, temporarily at
least.
Yesterday marked an important change in
commodity rates. Many articles, comprising
considerable part Of freight traffic, hereto
fore shipped at commodity rates, have been
changed to class rates, resulting in a
marked advance. Commodity rates not
eliminated altogether have been increased.

10 Omaha at 90 Miles an Hour.
What came nearly being a reeord-breaking
run was made by Union Pacific train No. 2
one day last week, between Cheyenne and
Omaha. 1t was the second fastest time ever
made between the two cities and was done
by regular train. which had none OF the
advantages usually thrown about train
when 1t is trying TO break records or Is
racing against time. The distance OF SIG
miles was covered In nine hours and forty

miles an hour, including all stops. The
train did not have the right OF way, being
sidetracked three times to meet westbound
trains, and was compelled to wait five min
utes one time and three minutes another.
The train left Cheyenne at 9;37 a. m,
four hours and seven minutes late. It ar
rived in Omaha at 1922 p. m. one hour and
two minutes late. Three hours and FIVE

END OF SUGAR WAR IN SIGHT
Report the Trust Has Made a Deal to
Buy Up the Independent
RefinerIes.

NEW YORK, Nov 15.-The Times says:
According to some Wall street reports the
war between the sugar refining companies
Is very near to settlement and that In
rather an extraordinary way. 1t is said
In fact that consolidation OF all the sugar
refining companies of the country is shortly
to be brought about and that the American
company has the project in charge. While
1t is impossible to get any verification Of
the report, 1t is regarded as significant
that in spite OF the present war. which is
supposed by the public to be costing the
refining companies a small fortune by rea-
son of losses, the sugar stocks have been
strong and at any recession have been
bought by insiders.
But whether this consolidation talk Is or
is not without foundation 1t seems to be
very generally accepted that an agreement
between the warning companies has prac-
tically been reached. the terms of which
may be announced at any time.

PARROT AN AGENT OF DEATH.
Pulls OF n Gas Burner Tip While Its
Mistress Is sIeeping-Is n
Gas Inebriate.

Alice Knott, 90 years old, of No. SOB
Twelfth street, Washington, came to
her death the other day through the in
strumentality of her pet parrot, an evil.
dispositioned bird, who was cordially
detested by everybody except his mis-
tress. but who seemed to have a strong
affection for her. He would follow her
from room to room and was never hap
py except in her presence. He was gem
orally regarded as a devil by the ne
groes. and as a bird of ill-omen by the
whites. His unpopularity was increased
by an uncanny habit of pulling the tips
off the gas burners with his strong beak
and inhaiing the gas until It stupehed
him. He was a gas fiend, feathered
victim of the gas habit
While his young mistress was sleep
ing the parrot took off the lava tip in
her room and started on gas debauch
This time there was no one near to
avert the consequences of his deed.
When Miss Knots relatives, alarmed
at her long absence, broke open the
door they found her dead. Her little
murderer was found half unconscious
Inv the door. When he found himself
succumbing to the gas and was not re-
lieved as usual by his mistress he real
lied that something was wrong, and
had wit or instinct enough to make for
the door and shove his bill as far as he
could underneath it. He recovered. and
while the coroner was in the house the
malignant little bird was caught trying
to turn on the gas again.
