from 3 TO cents more on the 100 pounds

eastern markets. More than this, the chief
executive officers OF these roads say that
with the new tariff there will be no more
secret deals with big consigners, that the
man with carload of grain must be given
the same rate as he who can promise a
trainload and those rates must be the ones
printed and hung up for public inspection.
The new charge on wheat, oats and -four
from Chicago TO New York City will be
II cents per 100 pounds, compared to the
present rate of 1112 cents. On corn, the ad-
vance will be from 101a cents to 10 cents.

KANSAS CITY UP IN ARMS
Report that the Burlington Proposes
to Reduce the Omaha Differ
ential Raises n Row.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, July 10.-(Specisl
Telegram THE report was in circulation
in commercial circles today that the Bur-
lington contemplated reducing the present
Omaha differential on packing house pro-
ducts under Kansas City from to cents
and all of Kansas Citys commercial insti-
tutions are preparing to register vigorous
kicks. Commissioner Trickett of the trans
portation bureau said: I'VE have not
been officially notified that the Burlington
has or intends taking any action. but
inside information which has come to US
would indicate that the road is seriously
considering the reduction. In fact it is
said. that the road is already committed to
the change.
"A radical change in the rates so long
in existence would doubtless disturb the
rate situation in the entire southwest and
could not be confined to this territory. This
danger the roads are always anxious to
avoid. and I believe the facts which we
have laid before the Burlington officials
will after careful consideration, cause
them to abandon the suggestion. Such a
reduction in dfferential would infict a
severe injury on Kansas City's commercial
interests"
General Southwestern Agent Harmon of
the Burlington disavowed all knowledge of
the reduction.

E ATEAIuT ARBITRATION is REJECTED
iis1b,I,,.., win Not submit claims
NEf If.r, " oioters to out
NEf; dication.

VIENNA, July 1U.-The United States
government has declined the proposal of the
government Of Austro- Hungary to arbitrate
the claims for damages arising from the
death OF Austro-Hungarian subjects during
the riots at Hazelton, Pa, in September,
1897.
WASHINGTON, July 10.--The officials
here confirm the advices from Vienna that
plan OF arbitration proposed as a means
Of settling claims growing out of the
Hazleton tPa) riots had been rejected by
the United States. This probably dis
poses OF the matter. according TO the view
held here, as It has run the entire gamut
of diplomatic negotiation and all of the
plans OF settlement, including the last one
OF arbitration, have come to naught.
At the outset the State department called
the matter to the attention 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 acquitted 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 similar view,
whereupon Austria Hungary proposed arbi-
tration OF the claims. 1t is said this last
proposal is rejected, which SENS to close
the matter, as the claims are hardly con-
sdered of sufficient Importance to justify
Austria Hungary to go beyond the diplo-
matte representations 1t has already made.

ALL LAUGH AT CASTElLANE
Manifesto Directed to Prince o1
Monaco Both Ludicrous and
Ill-Timed.

Copyright 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
PARIS July 10.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram Count Castel
lane never challenged the prince of Monaco
and has no expectation OF a challenge from
the prince so far. The facts of the case
are as follows: The ruler of Monte Carlo
sent an open letter to Nine. Dreyfus express
ing his sympathy and inviting her husband
to come to recuperate at the castle which
Monaco owns in French territory when the
holy work of justice had been accomplished
and Dreyfus liberated" Next day Castel
lane communicated to the papers a sensa
tional answer. While Monaco's little mani
festo is generally thought to be uncalled for
the Castellane rejoinder Immediately be-
came the joke of Paris. 1t was high pitched
in places and so incorrect as to be obscure,
containing efforts at sarcasms which are
conceded to be tactics, brutal and often
sive, and not only charged the prince with
meddling unbecoming a foreigner, but in
quired whether he was related to Dreyfus
by marriage. He also made other remarks
unanimously considered silly. The ceuciu-
sion was he would not think of challenging
a prince in tutelage, presumably alluding to
the French protectorate and predicting
Dreyfus himself would be ashamed of the
interest manifested by the keeper of a
gambling house. Castellane Is being gen
orally held in contempt here, the news
papers extracting great fun out of the in
cident and abusing "Annas VassaI' rather
severely. People talk of cable alleged to
have been sent by Castelane to a Partisan
actress the very day OF his wedding, you
may buy cottage and anything else you
want. 'Tis done; l hold the bag" and in
qure, Has our army no better champion ."
1t is also pointed out that while Boni sue
ceeded in evading most of his military
service the prince, although a foreigner
enlisted as private in the service of France
during the whole of the Franco Russian
war.
Monacos letter was sent from Denmark
as now his yacht Is cruising in the North
sea and he has probably not received Cas-
tellane's answer. At any rate no acknowl-
edgement has been received and it is not be-
lieved here the prince will condescend to
fight duel.

In her petition for divorce Mrs. Dawson
