ONE BIG ASSOCIATION NOW

Name to he Retained.

CHICAGO. Nov. 23.-After sharp dis
cusson today the American Live Stock as
sociation went out of existence by merging
into the larger though newer organization
known as the National Live Stock associa-
ticn. The action wac not expected by the
few members of the first named organiza-
ton present at the meeting of cattle breed
crs, but it was finally unanimously decided to
disband the American association and unite
with tho other organization for the purpose
of securing favorable legislation. The
American, Live Stock association was formed
in 1892 to arrange for an exhibit during the
Worlds fair and was made UP of thirteen
minor associations. The larger organiza-
ton into which 1t was merged was formed
three years ago and has a membership of
about seventy associations.
The National association will hold ite an
nual meeting at Fort Worth, Tex, January
16 to 20 inclusive. Most If not all. the as
sociations in the national organization will
take part in the live stock exhibition in
Chicago next year. The National associa-
tion represents over sSOO,ooo,O 900 in capital.

ADVANCE In FREIGHT RATES
Railroads Agree to Put Up Schedule on Coal
and Lumber,
AFFECTS TERRITORY CLOSE TO OMAN,
People in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas
ana Missouri Must Pay the Extra
Freight Charges for These
Commodities.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-of1cial an
nouncement has been made of an advance
in freight rates of l cent per 100 pounds
on lumber to take effect December Is. This
covers the rate from Chicago, Minneapolis
and ST. Paul to all distributing points,
Omaha, Council Bluffs, Kansas City, st.
Joseph and intermediate points, as we'll as
to points beyond the Missouri in Kansas and
Nebraska. The territory principally at-
fected by the advance includes Minnesota
and Wisconsin. Rates from points of origin
in the southern pine region are also ad-
vanced in like ratio to the same dis
tributing territory.
Lumbermen in Minneapolis and all over
the northwest are determined to resist the
advance by every means at their command
and the Mississippi Valley Lumbermene as
sociation has sought the cooperation of
the Manufacturers and Jobbers' associa-
tion and the Board of Trade. Minneapolis
lumber manufacturers and jobbers are de-
termined to do their utmost to prevent the
enforcement of this rate, which they claim
Is unjust and is arbitrary The increase in
the rate, if it goes into effect, will cause
an advance of 25 cents per 1000 feet to the
lumber consumer. The territory affected is
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Nov. 23.-The sec
ond section of Baltimore & Ohio passenger
train No. 8, westbound, known as the oyster

The Jefferson county canvasserS heard argu-
ments of counsel on motion to throw cut

ground of alleged intimidation by soldiers
who were called out by Governor Bradley

ground that the board had no jurisdiction,
being empowered simply to count and tabu-
late the votes. This view was sustained
and the matter now goes to the State Elec
ton board, where, no doubt, the motion OF
the democrats will be renewed.

ENGLISH ARE INUNDATED
Nothing but n March Through Pre-
toria Will, Heal Their
1;'s ~ Wounded Feelings.

LONDON. Nov 23.-The fact that fresh
portions OF Natal are being overrun daily
by the Beers Is producing evaporation in
that colony and intense humiliation in
Great Britain, where the idea of possible
extensive violation of British soil was
contemptdously dismissed in nsthe early
stages of the war st4ess.,,E So.
Operators on the stock exchange here are
becoming nervous and the continued fall in
consols exemplifies the restlessness of the
market. The rumors that peace deputa-
tion. from President Kruger Is on it's way
to Capetown for the purpose Of ascertain
ing the terms upon which an immediate ces-
sation of hostilities could be secured, are
discredited here, and 1t is said that IL such
deputation has been sent 1t will meet
with scant courtesy. as these who are con-
Quoting the war will be satisfied with moth
ing less than debating terms of peace at
Pretoria after parade of British strength
throughout the Transvaal.
In the meantime, from the scanty dis
patches which, are dribbling in from the
front 1t is difficult to form an idea of the
true situation. The. Beers are occasionng
constant surprises. They have already cut
off two portions of the Ladysmith relieving
forces from their base of supplies and with
great rapidity are advancing on Pieter-
lery. General CIery's situation it would
appear must be becoming ntolerable. SO
serious fighting may be expected at any
time, as 1t is pointed out the general must
clear his line of communication in order to
complete the connection of the relieving
force
British May he at BOers' Mercy
According to the latest reports from Natal
the artillery duel was Recommended this
morning at Mooi river. The statement that

be at the mercy OF the strong Boer forces
reported in that neighborhood.
collision may also be expected on the
western frontier within forty eight hours.
and 1t is true that General Methuen has
started northward, as he is certain to meet
entrenched Beers at Belmont and Modder
river. hs
II Is reported that Mafeking is suffering
from lack CT water and that fever is rife
there.
Advices from Lorenzo MARQUEE say Trans
yaal recruiting agents have been visiting

lice has gone to Gazaland, where the ma
