would renew the request, and that, as
the Spanish war had terminated, the
volunteers should be permitted TO re-
turn, if they wished.
Beyond this" says the governor,
nothing was said except an expression
of a general nature concerning the
power of the government to call upon
the militia for service in an offensive
war"

STOCK SHIPPERS WIN.
VIII Not Pay 50 Per Car Tax Levy
at Chicago.

Chicago. May 9.-Shippers of live
stock to the Chicago market have won
their case against the railroads in the
famous car-terminal charge. Judge
Kohlsaat Of the United States district
court decided today that the levy of
50 on every car of livestock delivered at
the yards by the roads entering the city
from the west was an unreasonable one,
and granted the governments prayer
for an injunction TO restrain the trans
portation companies from collecting it.
The enjoining order was issued on a
ruling of the interstate commerce COM
mission that the tax was too high.
The railroad companies will be given
thirty days in which to answer the de-
cision or appeal the case TO the next tri-
bunai.

MAY ADJUST DIFFERENCES.
Union Pacific officials Confer With
Other Lines.

Chicago, May 9.-Oficials of the
Union Pacific road were in Chicago to-
day comforting with the various inter-
ests concerned in the western passenger
situation. The greater part of the con-
sideration was devoted to the immi-
grant phases of the question in regard
to which the Union Pacific has been
generally supposed to be at variance
with other interests to an unwarranted
degree Recent developments have
served TO make manifest, however. that
the position of the Union Pacific was
quite defensible and that in number
of points at least it has had the better
of the argument. 1t Is possible that the
conference in progress may bring about
mutual understandings and lead to
complete adjustment of the whole case.

Presidents Report.
President Boyce's report was quite
lengthy. 1t covered some thirty pages
of typewriter manuscript. and in it he
reviewed the history OF the organiza-
ton, showing that twenty-six unions
had been added in 1898. including 5000
members. He recommended a better
system of Organization by placing in
the field permanent organizers. He said
thar some city should be selected as a
permanent headquarters, and a news
paper established as the organ of the
federation.
But the most important recommended
ton was that the federation should act
with political parties that favored mu-
nicipal ownership of street railways,
gas water and electric plants, national
ownership of natural resources, such
as mines, and national ownership of
railroads, telegraph lines, telephone
lines, express companies. and, in fact,
all public utilities
