ton Discrimination.
Austin, Texas. December 5.-The rail-
road commission was notified today that
the Kansas City, Plttsburg and Gulf roai
had a complaint to make about the hand
ling of interstate freight for said road 1t
seems that the interstate roads have failed
to deliver to said road freight rouiel over
it for export purposes. rather preferrlng
to divert the said shipments 10 other lines,
which landed the freight at Galveston.
There is no penalty for such diversion Of
freight so far as The commission is con.
cerned, though il has always been held
that shipper had right 10 route ms
freight to suit himself. The diversion OF
freight from Port Arthur to Galveston as
of, is presumed to be directly
resultant from the row the Pee Gee line
recently raised by cutting interstate rates
to Texarkana and which caused all Texas
lines so much trouble.

SILVER REPUBLICANS,
Executive Committee Gathering For .
Conference At Chtcaxo.


Conference at Chicago
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Senator r. F.
Pettigrew of South Dakota and ex-
Congressman Charles A. Towne of
Minnesota, mem bers of the national
executive committee of the Silver Re-
publican party, are in Chicago. A
conference of the executive committee
of the party will be held here this
week, at which plans for the coming
presidential campaign will be discussed.
Mr. Towne, IN discussing the political
campaign, said:
"lf congress this winter, in response
to the demand of the president, de-
stroys the bond paying value Of silver,
calls in silver certificates and reissues
gold paying certificates the silver ques-
tion will be IA leading issue in the next
presidential campaign. Such action on
the part of congress would furnish an
entirely different proposition from that
which confronted the people in the last
campaign. The Republican party won
because of the fear of the ratio of IL to
/. The adoption of the Gage and Nc
Kinley financial plan by congress would
mean the contracting of the currency
Of the country, and the people would
be confronted with a fact, not theory,
in the battle of standards. The silver
question is not dead in political af-
fairs"

CAIRO, Nov. 27.-Lord Cromer, the
British minister here, has received the
following dispatch from General Kitch-
ener:
"Wingate's force caught up with the
Khalifa's force seven miles southeast of
Godid and attacked it. After sharp
fight, he took his position. The Khal-
ifa, who was surrounded by body
guard of emirs, was killed, and all the
principal emirs were killed or captured,
except Csman Digna, who escaped.
The dervishes were utterly defeated,
their whole camp was taken and thou
sands surrendered. A large number Of
women, children and cattle also fell
into the hands of the Anglo-Egyptian
force"
Among the emirs killed were the
Khalifa's two brothers and the Mahdi's
son. Osman Digna left Immediately
after the firing began and is probably
concealed somewhere in the vicinity. l
hope, eventually, to get him. We took
the entire dervish camp. All the der
vishers not killed surrendered.
Il cannot speak too highly of the ex'
cellent behavior of the troops and their
endurance during the long, tedious
marches preceding the final action.
From 4 o'clock in the morning of Nov.
81. till o'clock in the morning of Nov.
"a, they marched 80. miles and fought
two decisive actions. The Soudan may
now be declared open."

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The war Office has
posted the following dispatch, dated
Cape Town, from General Forester.
Walker:
Lord Methuen reports that he
moved at $3.50 a. m. Saturday with the
Ninth brigade, the mounted corps, the
naval brigade and two batteries, the
guards following with the baggage.
Near Gras Pan (about 10 miles north OF
Belmont on the railway line to Kim
berley) $500 Beers, with six guns and
two machine guns, opposed him. The
action began at 6 a. IN. Our battery
fired shrapnel very accurately till the
heights seemed clear. Then the naval
brigade aud infantry advanced to the
assault. The fighting was desperate
until 10 q. m., when the heights were
carried. The Beers retreated on the
line where the Ninth Lancers were
placed to intercept them. The result
was not known at the time of tele'
graphing. The artillery took imlne.
Giate advantage OF the enemy's retire
ment.
Naval brigade Suffered Heavily.
"Early in the action 500 Beers attacked
our rear guard. The brigade met this
