COURTS INVESTIGATION
VICE PRESIDENT MCREA REsENTS
CHARGE THAT RATES ARE CUT.
The Big Four Places an Order for
Compnny-ScaIpers Still Active.

The heavy tonnage the Pennsylvania lines
have been carrying east from Chicago has
created some feeling on the part of COM
petitors. the Baltimore & Ohio going so far
as to allege that the Pennsylvania lines
We're cutting rates, going SO far as to state
that they had evidence that such was the
case, and that the evidence would be placed
before the Interstate-commerce Commission
for investigation. This has aroused James
McCrea, first vice president Of the Pennsyl-
vania Company. He says the charge is
without the least foundation lie says with
out qualification rates have been strictly
maintained by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne &
Chicago, and the Panhandle lines since Jan.
/, and that all traffic officials have been car
rying out in good faith the positive orders
that rates should be maintained. The last
three weeks the Pennsylvania lines have
been carrying an immense tonnage out of
Chicago, but the officials claim that when
rates are held by all lines the Pennsylvania
invariably leads in volume of east-bound
traffic from Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis
Freight Rates to Be Reduced.
With the first day of the coming month
IL cents will be siashed from the export
grain rate from Chicago to all Atlantic sea-
board points now in effect upon all Eastern
lines. This will make the rate from Chicago
to New York 1S1a cents and that to Phil
adelphia and Newport News III cents. On
the same day the dressed beef rate viii be
reduced cents per hundred pounds. At the
present time it is 45 cents One and one-half
cents will be cut from the corn rate from
Mississippi-river crossings to Atlantic sea-
board points. Packing house products rates
will be cut from 80 cents to % cents. Live
stock rates will go down to Is cents. At
present the rate on cattle and sheep is %
cents and on hogs 90 cents. All these
changes were agreed on at a melting of the
Central Freight Association in Chicago yes
terday. There was some talk, too, of MAX
ing reduction on flour and corn products.
Flour usually takes the grain rate, but as
the Eastern lines now receive but 16 cents as
the proportion of the 25-eent rate in effect
from st. Paul to the seaboard, it was not
thought advisable to make a further reduc-

A COMPARISON.

When the president issued his second
call for volunteers in the Spanish
American war, Oregon sent to san
Francisco 31S recruits for her regiment
Of infantry doing service in the Phil
ippines
These recruits had no officers OF their
ewn and were handed about from one
regiment TO another on the inhospitable
sands of Camp Merritt. For weeks
they shivered in their summer civilian

from other regiments were leaving for

Mourning Rings.

IT Bowery pawn shop window
were displayed several weeks ago
three well-worn mourning rings, ana
it IS safe to assume, if they were orig
inaliy owned by Americans, that their
owners have been dead for many
years The custom of wearing mourn
ing rings fiourished in this country
early in the present century, but in re-
cent years it has grown out of fashion
to such an extent tina few modern jew
elers could supply such articles from
their stock. Several years ago the will
of wealthy Englishman who owned
some real estate in this city was of
fered for probate here, and among
other requests it provided that 500
should be given to each of three men
named for the purchase of suitable
mourning rings, and this clause puz-
zled the surrogate's clerks until the
dean of the office, whose memory
went back more than half a century,
receller the fashion of mourning rings

FAMOUS MINIATURES.

Comte de Guiche owed his life to
wearing snuffbox over his heart, for
the box turned aside bullet while in
battle. In the center of the snuffbox
was a miniature of Henrietta, duchess
of Orleans, daughter of Charles /.
Cromwell lost his head through a
miniature. Holbcin was dispatched by
Cromwell on a mission to Flanders to
paint miniature of Anne of Cleves for
her sutton, Henry VIII, and so beauti.
full was the miniature that Henry was
content to wed her. But when he saw
Lady Anne and found her so far in
ferior to the painting the storm burst
on the minister, Cromwell, and not on
the painter.
Once miniature was the cause of a
suicide. Charles /. so admired a min
iature painted by Gibson that he par.
ticClarly requested This servant" Van
derdort, a Dutchman whom he had
made keeper of the cabinet and to as
sist in the ''mynt," to take the greatest
care of it. The jealous man overdid it.
for when one day his majesty desired TO
see it again it could not be found. This
so preyed on the servants mind that he
hanged himself.

WIFI Attract Thousands of Visit

st. Louis, Sept. 16.-The Great St
Louis Fair of 1899 will celebrate the
tlirty-ninth year of it's existence the
first week in October, opening Monday,
October 2, and closing Saturday, Octo-
Der z.
President Robert Aull of the st.
Louis Fair association is making I'M
usual preparation this year to add
new laurels to the brilliant achieve
ments Of ST. Louis time-honored ins.i-
tuition, and large corps of assistants
are at work getting all the prelimina-
ries in shape for the coming great
feir.
The fair grounds to-day are in splen-
did condition for the fair, and when
the gates will be thrown open to the
public, everything will look more
elaborate, prettier and more attractive
than ever.
President Aull, in a recent trip east,
secured a number of special attrac-
tons for the great annual event.
He has arranged for the exhibits this
year, some of the leading agricultural
displays seen in the big fairs of the
east and in Canada, while he is as
sured of the finest live stock show of
thoroughbred cattle ever seen in st.
Louis.
The horse show this year will, like
wise, be a grand affair, and the am
phitheater will look Respondent, with
its handsome array of high steppers,
roachers and thoroughbreds.
This year there will be two new and
higbly-attractive features to add to
the grand magnitude of the fair.
There will be four-days' trotting
meeting, opening Tuesday, October ),
and closing Friday, October 6. The
programme will be as follows:

inces of Matanzas and Santa
Clara, Cuba.

Washington, Sept. 1S.--The war de.
partment has made public the abstract
of a report from Gen. James II. Will
son, commanding the provinces of Ma
tanzas and Santa Clara, Cuba. Gen.
Wilson gives large amount of Stats
teal information regarding the prov
inces and their products which will be
of interest to Americans interested in
business in the islands.
He says the social conditions have
been much ameliorated since the Amer.
lean occupation, but there are still n
large number of destitute to be cared
for and there is great need for roads.
These will facilitate communication
between the important towns and al
low the freer movement of staple prod
ucts, such as sugar and tobacco, which
is now almost interdicted by the lack
of anything except the poorest sort of
pack trails. He says that railroad
building will be cheaper than making
wider roads and recommends one tc
connect Sancti Spiritus with Placetas.
He says that this road could be built
for $4,000 a mile, a distance of 40
miles.
There are other roads badly needed
and there is also necessity for a bridge
over the River Danuji, one of the larg-
est rivers in the island, which is nav-
gable between Rodas and the BAY of
Cienfuegos.
He says by far the most important
product in Santa Clara is sugar, of
which the province furnished in 1889
AZ per cent. of the total exports from
the island. The provinces of Santa
Clara and Matanzas together furnished
in 1898, 81 per cent. of the total sugar
production of Cuba. The war left in
operation Al sugar centrals and 81 9TH
ers not in operation, but in working
order. About 81 were destroyed.
The crop of tobacco in Matanzas
this year amounted to $4,000 bales
Gen. Wilson says the revival of agri-
culture has progressed rapily in spite
of discouraging circumstances. The
people are greatly in need of draft
animals, while pigs, sheep and fowl
have entirely disappeared. The native
mules and horses at present are the
best adapted to local use, owing to the
very bad condition of the roads. but
when this is improved he says the
American horses will be in demand.
