FAIR PLAY FOR THE MERCHANTS.
Long Arm of Government Enfroces
Jmstice in Their nehnIf.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The cruiser De-
troit got away yesterday from La Guayra
for Port Limon, Costa Rica, where it will
receive instructions from the Navy depart
ment as to its further course, the cable to
Ncaraguan ports being interrupted
through the arbitrary action of General
Torres. Nothing has been heard at the
State department from its representative in
Nicaragua since Consul Soresby cabled from
Port Limon three days ago an account of
Torres action, and appealed for two war
ships.
The Detroit is due at Port Limon Tuesday
morning, and unless there is a decided
change for the better in the situation in
Nicaragua it will push on with all speed to
Bluefelds. Our government is determined
not to tolerate the eXtortion practiced by
Torres upon American merchants there.
A disquieting feature of the situation is
the semi endorsement by President Zelaya
of Torres contention that he has right to
collect duties which have already been paid
by the Americans to the de facto govern
ment of Bluefelds under General Reyes, the
leader of the late insurrection. The Nicara-
guam governments contention is that foreign
residents of Bluefields having been warned
by the government not to pay customs du-
ties to the insurgents cannot now claim eX-
emption from recollection by the govern
ment of duties so paid
The State department, however, has salts
fled itself that the insurgent government at
Bluefields under General Reyes was a de
facto government in the full sense of the
term, and also that the merchants paid the
duties under absolute compulsion. There
fore IL is determined not to tolerate re-col-
lection of these duties on the part of the
Nicaraguan government. 1t is pointed out
that If the Nicaraguan governments conten-
tion is correct and the duties were illegally
paid to the insurgents, then President Ze-
laya's government is fully responsible to the
merchants for every cent collected by the
| insurgents.

COOK TELLS A HARD TALE
Beef Served TO New Jersey Troops
Said To he Unsightly and
of Poor Quality.

WASHINGTON, April S.--The army court
of inquiry into the beef supplied to the
army decided today TO adhere to its de-
csion not to call the list of witnesses sub
mitted by General Miles. The reading OF
tie official reports was concluded. AleS
Powell, the owner of the beef process OF
which so much has been said, was heard
at the forenoon session. He gave many
details concerning his invention and stated
that he made an agreement with Armour
6 Co. to have them use the process In case
they could secure the government contrac,
He stated, however, that Swift and Company
had not had the use of it.
Major Van Horn of the Twenty y-second
infantry, whose opinion was read today,
stated that "the canned beef was nothing
more than the refuse of beef after soup
had been made of it,"
General Shafter probably will testify
early next week and the outlook is fer the
closing Of testimony by Saturday next.
Captain George b. Davis, who was Gen.
eral Eagans principal assistant in the COM
missary generals Office during the war was
recalled to give testimony cons
corning a shipment of canned roast beef
10 lie troops at Dunn Lorng, Va. He said
many cans OF the canned beef had been
opened in the office and ne had never found
any that contained unwholesome meat.

in reflection, creating the impression OF
forest most brilliantly lighted.
As soon as the guests were seated an en-
tertainment began containing q number OF
musical numbers and vaudeville selections.
At the end OF this part Of the program
President Boyuton announced with much
regret that by some oversight no retresu-
ments had been prepared. This was re-
ceiyed with bitter complaint from several
members who insisted that General Boyn>
tons connection with the army had made
him forgetful OF the duty to the commis>
sary department. In the midst of the dis"
cussion one Of the members of the CLUB
rushed to a telephone hanging in the woods
and rang for the good fairy of the Grid
ironers, who appeared with magic wand ana
promised to remedy the difficulty. The
fairy was one of the largest members OF
the club arrayed in suitable fairy costume,
and his appearance created a great deal OF
mirth. One wave of the fairy scepter pro-
duced number of cooks with necessary
tables and supplies and one end of the hall
was soon transformed into refreshment
bower, where an elegant repast was served.

so that there will be no possible chance for
a misunderstanding.

Purpose Of Visit of General Passenger Agent
Hanson of Illinois Central,
FARNAM STREET LOCATION DECIDED UPON
owner of building selected In Doubt
ns to whether lie Can Anord To
stand Expense of Making
changes Desired.

General Passenger Agent Hanson of the
Illinois Central did not make his visit TO
Omaha Friday solely for the purpose of see
ing the city. 1t develops that he was look
ing for a location for city ticket and
freight office for his road, in anticipation OF
the time when the company will be operat-
ing its trains in and out OF Omaha. Nego-
tiations are under way for a Farnam street
corner, and while the indications are that
contract for a long lease will be made 1t has
not yet been signed, and will not be for sew
eral weeks.
The property which the company wants Is
now occupied by two business houses, and
these will have to be considered in the con-
tract. A number of changes will be required
in the building to fit 1t for the use OF the
railroad and an architect and contractor are
now making estimates and plans.
According to the owner Of the building in
question, the only point of difference be-
tween him and the railroad company is
whether the former can afford to go to the
expense which will be necessary to put the
place in the shape desired by the prospective
tenant. He says If the changes are made
the office will be the finest in the city for
railroad purposes. 1t is expected that Mr..
Hanson, or Mr.. Keepers, the general freight
agent for the Illinois Central, will return to
Omaha in a few weeks to complete the con-
tract for these offices.

RATES TO MEETINGS OF BApTIsTs.
Fifty-Two Dollars for the Round Trip
is Agreed Upon.

is Agreed upon.
Omaha roads have authorized rate of
$52 for the round trip for second class
ticket to Portland, Tacoma and Seattle for
the Baptist anniversary meetings to be held
there during next month. 1t has been
charged that these meetings were organized
that the northern lines might have an eX-
cuse to make a low rate to those points at
the same time the Baptist union meeting
will be held in San Francisco.
The northern roads have a long line to
San Francisco, and could not well make the
rate to that city which had been agreed
upon by the lines further south, and to pro-
tect their business made a corresponding
rate to the north Pacific points instead
Originally they announced they would make
these rates the same as those adopted for
the San Francisco meeting, which were $50,
but a few days ago they reduced the rate to
$52. This has now been met by the Omaha
roads, and it is openly predicted that the
rate to San Francisco will also be reduced
to $50 for the privileges allowed on the
tickets to Portland, making that trip
as desirable as the one to San Francisco,
and, barring the pleasure of trip through
Colorado, will be $3.50 cheaper than the
other, provided that the rate to the Golden
Gate is made as low that to the north
west, because in going through the Ogden
gateway. returning by the northern route,
there is a charge of $3.50 extra for the trip
north from San Francisco to Portland. 1t
is said to be natural, under these conditions,
that if the San Francisco meeting is to be
made a success, it must have the same rate
as is made to the northwest.

GRIDIRoNERs ENTERTAIN WOMEN,

WASHINGTON, April S.-The GTidiron

laurel and green vines. Amid the branches
OF the trees were many birds, so naturally
arranged as to make the illusion more COM
plete. About the sides of the room were
ranged palms and ferns and potted flowers.
In the windows were aquariums With live
fish and water fowl. Gridiron decorations
OF flowers and electric lights hung in the
foliage. The room being entirely sur

Cuts the Rate to New York.

Through the action of the Michigan Cen
tral the rate to New York over the standard
eastern lines will be reduced 81. What are
known as the differential lines between Chi
cago and New York have been charging $1s
between those two cities, while the other
roads, such as the Michigan Central,
Pennsylvania and Lake Shore, have charged
$50. Considerable dissatisfaction has grown
out of this distribution of business, al
though the differential has been in force for
many years. The fact is that
the differential lines have made
about as good time and furnished almost as
good service as the other roads. The re-
suit was they received an unfair proper
tion of the traffic. Lately the Michigan Cen
tral gave notice that it would make itself
a differential line and has quoted the SIS
rate to it's connecting lines for basing pur-
poses The result will be that those who
have paid the extra 81 for the privilege OF
riding over one OF the alleged standard
lines will hereafter save that amount in
their expense.

In connection with the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern the Burlington freight
department at Chicago has announced a rate
OF 1O1a cents on wheat and corn for export
on all business originating west of the
Mississippi river. The other roads imme-
dately met the rate The export rate has
been 1872 cents, the reduction being just 3
cents. The new rate will affect all ship
ments from this territory, but it will be
felt but little, because there is practically
no grain TO ship from this section. Local
grain dealers say that about all the grain
there is in the transmissouri country now
is held for feeding purposes or for specua-
tion, and the reduced rate will not cause
much of IT to move. Had the rate been made a
few months ago while the prices OF grain
were hitting the high places IT would have
been a great advantage to the western
holder.
