British steamer Atrato from Colon.
Friday, reports n widespread reyolu-
tionary movement in Colombia and a
grave outlook. Her cargo she landed
with difficulty and she was unable to
secure the outward cargo, owing to the
suspension of inland transportation.
The government is recruiting an
army by impressment under martial
law and is levying forced loans in Co.

Foreigners are excluded, but CONNER
cial houses in Colon and Panama are

tically suspended, famine prices pre-
vail and foreign exchange is at 800.
Foreigners are regarded with suspic-

strength and popularity of the revo-

ADMITTEDTHETRUTH
RAILROAD MAN ON THE STAND.
President Stickney, of the Chicago q
Great Western, Causes a Sensation by
Telling What Railroad Men DO.

Chicago, Nov. 2O.-The testimony Of
President Stickney of the Chicago
Great Western railroad before the sub
committee of the National Industrial
Commission, investigating rate dis
elimination, was given very frankly.
and some of his statements caused
sensations among his hearers. His first
declaration was:
Il tell you frankly the published
freight rates are not maintained by
railroads and cannot be maintained.
1t is an impossibility. The interstate
commerce law, as far as investigations
and corrections are concerned, is a
roaring farce
A sensation was created. as the
statement contradicts the statements
of more than half a dozen railroad
presidents who said published freight
rates We're adhered to strictly.
On taking the oath President Stick
ney stipulated that he was giving
opinions merely. The question of is
suing free passes was taken up The
witness coincided with the view that
this practice should be abolished.
We find it to our interests, how
ever" said he, ito extend favors to
certain classes of men-referring to
members of the judiciary-who may
ask for them"
rs not it an evil to morals that
judges get passes and private citizens
none!' came the question.
We'll. l don't like to pass on NOR
ais" was the answer.
What would you think if Congress
prohibited the pass system and stopped
ticket scalping?"
My attitude on such questions
was the unhesitating response, that
Congress was not created to run the
business of this country. The best
thing Congress can do is to repeal some
OF the laws it has made. The ticket
brokerage problem should be left to
the railroads and the public"
rs not the bulk of business done by
scalpers given them directly by the
Railroads.&c.
Il presume it is" was the ready re-
ply.
Il don't think pooling would have
any effect on holding rates stable"
said Mr.. Stickney. I'm the first place.
l do not believe pool could be formed
and. In the second place. unless it en-
Draced everything, it would produce
the results which you seek to prevent"
