Cabrera, of Guatemala, has advised Con-
sui General Galecci, of this port, of the
sale of the Guatemala Central railroad to
a New York syndicate. This road was
originally planned by RuGno Barrios to
extend from the City of Guatemala east
ward to Port Barrios where connection
can be made with New Orleans by wa
ter. Practically, when finished, it would
be an extension Of the Pacific Improve
ment company's road, which connects the
City of Guatemala with the Pacific sea-
board. There are yet sixty miles of road
to be completed. There were three pros
pective purchasers, one of them being G.
P. Huntington and two. other New York
syndicates. Which of the two New York
syIdicates is the purchaser President Ca
brera does not state in his message. He,
however, informs the consul general that
as a result of the sale exchange in Guate-
mala, which recently advanced to $50,
has fallen to $50.

Witness to Appear Before the
observation-disclosures Donahovv-
er Insists That the Austin Pork
Packer Should Receive the Same
Rates as Other Merchants.
The hearing in the case of Ransom
Bros Of Albert Lea, against the Omaha
ana Milwaukee roads was taken IN after
an adjournment before the state railroad
and warehouse commission Yesterday.
Nothing of unusual interest was brought
out by the testimony submitted and the
matter OF the secret rate sheet issued
by the Milwaukee to Geo. HORNED, the
Austin Pork packer, was avoided. The
commission took the matter under ad-
visement and the decision will be an
nounced after an opportunity is given
for consideration of the testimony sub
mittcd.
The Omaha was represented in the
hearing by Judge Wilson, Vice President
Clark and General Freight Agent Pearce.
The Milwaukee was represented by but
one official w. II. Norris, of Minneapo-
lis local counsel. Ransom Bros. were
represented by w. II. Donahower. as
slStant attorney general and w. NJ Nc
Alester their credit man.
IL. N. Pearce, of the Omaha, was the
only witness before the commission. He
testified that for six months ending July
1, Ransom Bros. had shipped about $500
pounds Of freight over their line. He
could not recall an instance when the
firm had shipped goods in car lots. and
stated that the average shipments were
about 500 pounds, the maximum being
about 1000. All the freight received from.
the firm had to be transferred at Man
kato.
The only reference in the hearing to the
HORNED rate sheet and the letter which
accompanied it from the Milwaukee,
freight department, produced in evidence
At the first hearing, occurred In Judge
Wilson's summing up of the testimony
presented by the Omaha. He remarked
That giving the HORNED firm the benefit
OF the rate for year did not seem to
have increased business in measure
which would allow Of considering the firm
as Jobblng house. lie considered the
idea Of the Albert Lea house posing as
a wholesale establishment as Ridiculous
as the shipments We're TOO small. Re
sardlng the changes asked for, he said:
If you require the connecting lines to
Albert Lea to put in joint rates, YOU
viii have to change every local rate in
the state. The testimony presented re-
dgaring the amount Of business done by
the firm gives small excuse for disorgan-
izing the tariff system Of the entire
state"
Attorney DonahOwer closed the case for
the compliments, stating that the is
sue was not conferred in the amount of
business done by the firm, but in the
point that they should receive the same
rates by comparison as other merchants
throughout the state. He held that the
question involved was that Of giving all
merchants of the state an equal basis
OF which to do business.

THE HARDWARE JOBnERs.
No Decision Reached Regarding the
JObbers' Union Meeting.

No decision has yet been announced
regarding the differences Of hardware
jcbbers from Chicago and St. Louis and
those from northern points which were
aired at conference al the Jobbers, I'm
ion early last week. The matter was TAX
en- under Amusement by the Northern Pa
enc and Great Northern. Inquiries yes
terday brought a statement from one of
the freight men who attended the con-
ference, that no decision had been ar
rived at and in all probability the mat
ter would not be settled fog some time
In the interval, rates viii remain the
same and the disadvantages under which
the Chicago and ST. Louis iobbers claim
to work, will continue. The reads in
terested are inclined 10 the belief that
the arguments presented by the South
:ern hardware men, were not strong
enough to outweigh the defense of local
