REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. I4.-George S..
Boutwell, of Massachusetts, president of the
American -Anti-Imperiaiist League, tonight
gave out the following signed statement:
II intend to speak tomorrow when the
congress shall have been organized, and
ct the close of my remarks L shall express
my opinion as to the policy those who
are opposed to TIE national administration
ought now to pursue.
Il am opposed TO the proposition of nom
ination of an Independent candidate and
the organization of an alti-iuipcrialist par
ty. The objections to such an undertaking
that are apparent are these:
The party would not be able to command
the names and services of candidates OF
standing and Influence in the nation.
Next, 1t could secure only a limited sup
port from the press Of the country.
FINALLY the party could not obtain money
for the necessary expenses of the campaign
in competition with the Republican party:
At the end many anti-imperialists would
vote for Bryan. Others might vote the Pro-
hibition ticket and the vote for the anti
imperiaiist party might be insignificant, and
the movement would thus become unworthy
of further notice.
"1n my remarks to the congress to-mor-
row | intend to advise anti-imperialists TO
give their support to Bryan, on the ground
feat Mckinley and secure the overthrow Of
his imperialistic policy"
The first days session of the National or
tnlTU party toiNeillOH WAS devoted eitile-
ly to addresses. no formal action being
taken beyond the appointment of a com
mittee of three TO confer with the anti
imperialists. whose convention opens to-
morrow.
The sentiment among the independents
was strong against the candidates. of both
Mckinley and Bryan and seemed to indicate
that a third ticket would be the outcome
OF their convention, although there is a
desire to combine with the a~nti-imperialists
if possible, but there is scarcely n possibility
OF the anti-imperialists nominating q ticket.

Them Abolished.
Chicago, Aug. H.-Western roads are be-
ginning to take a hand in the fight about
difterential rates between Chicago ard New
York and st. Louis and New York, and it
is their intention to assist the standard lines
in their efforts to bring about equal rates
by all routes.
One of the prominent Western general

claimed by the weaker lines that without
such an arrangement they could not con-
troll a sufficient amount Of traffic to keep
The arrangement worked well at the
start, and until thew weaker lines commenced
quarreling amOngs themselves as to the
amount of traffic they ought to have. when
some of these lines commenced paying COM
missions again, which, in addition to the
lower rates. brought aid and assistance
from s%calpers and ticket agents. Gradually
the differenttal lines improved their train
equipment and general facilities for hand
ling passenger business. and to-day they
not only have lower rates, but furnish as
good and luxurious accommodations and as
fast time as any of the standard lines.
The idea that the shortest line in the mat
ter OF time, the only line operating through
cars and an equipment equal to any other
route in competition for traffic from Kan
sas City to New York, should charge the
lowest rate, the general passenger agent
considers too prepostcrous to seriously con-
slider for one moment. He thinks the peo-
pie of Chicago and the people of st. Louis
business from their cities by such a COM
hination.

Make Headquarters Here.
RESOLUTIONS ON SUBJECT.
Greater Part of Roads Business
Originates Here, Its Largest
Terminus Texas Commits
sion Hearing-Notes.

The Toledo. st. Louis and Western Rail-
road, or the Glover Leaf, as it is univer-
sally known. has been invited to make its
headquarters in st. Louis. the principal ter
minus on the line, where the greater part
Of its business originates or is exchanged
with its connections. This invitation comes
from the merchants and business men gem
orally of this city. through the medium Of
resolutions passed by the Board of Direct
ors of the Merchants Exchange of st.
Louis.
1t was thought that as soon as the old
company was fully reorganized and the
new Management had assumed control that
the general offices Of the company would be-
removed from Toledo to this city. When
President Norton and Traffic Manager Whit
ney were here recently they said no action
had been taken toward moving present
headquarters. but they were very forcibly
impressed with the arguments presented to
them by the ST. Louis business men they
met. This city Is the logical headquarters
of the company, and every inducement will
be offered the new management to estab-
fish general offices here.
The following are the resolutions passed
at yesterdays meeting:
The Board Of Directors OF the Merchants
Exchange Of St. Louis has been gratified to
hear of the reorganization of the Toledo,
st. Louis and Kansas City Railroad, and
extends a welcome to the new officials of
the Toledo. st. Louis and Western Rail
road Company.
I'm behalf of the members of this ex-
change, the directory begs to suggest to
the president and governing board of the
new ompany the desirability of transfer
ring the executive offices of the company
to st, Louis. 's
This city, being the largest and most i'm
portant place on the line Of the road and its
southern terminus, where the greater part
of its business originates or is exchanged,
would seem to be the proper place for the
location OF its managing department.
1T would be a source of qualification to
this business community If such action was
taken, and this board urges upon President
Norton and his advisers a careful considera-
ton If the matter and favorable action"

Recent Decisions by Courts in New

Two important decisions have recently

The question as to whether a railroad

been decided in the affirmative by the Su-

plaintiff in the case was accustomed to rent

MED his right to recover, holding that the

lions. the law affords the plaintiff no re-

The second decision referred to was
rendered BY the Supreme Court of Kansas
adverse to Thomas Dangerfeld, who started
two years ago from Kansas City to Ireland.

Kansas City and Topeka honored the ticket.
but the one east of Kansas City took it up
and demanded that Dangerfeld pay his

off the train. He sued the company for slO,-
600 damages. The District Court of Usage

not entitled to ride upon the same: that

Jersey City, Aug. 14.-Jersey City resi-

presented to a novel band Of street clean
ers. The residents Of the Northern section
of Grove street say that the streets have
not been 80 well cleaned for many a day.
The women folk especially are enthusiastic.
for a herd of goats have given a practical
demonstration Of what they could do in the
street cleaning line.
AS the street north Of the Erie Railroad
tracks had not been swept for some Time,
the housewives between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets one night recently organ-
lied q white wings brigade. They soon had
the dirt piled up and ready to put in barrels.
Just then a herd of goats were espied in
the 3fiing. Some one suggested: why not
let them eat up the paper?'> h idea was
a good one. The goats were "shooed" to
the piles of paper. and it wasn't long before
they had devoured every bit in sight. A
crowd of people looked on and enjoyed the
sight.
Those people residing near Twelfth street
are now seriously contemplating extending
an invitation to the owners of tire goats to
send their animals down that way If the
street cleaning contractor and his assist
ants do not soon pay that section a visit.

TEXAS COMMISSION.
Second Hearing on Proposed Plan t,
Readjust Texarkann Rates.

Austin, Tex, Aug. H.-The Texas Rail-
road Commission was in session to-day to
take another review OF the T%exarkana
rate situation, which has caused so much
trouble in Texas railroad and shipping cir
cles. The proposition of the commission
is to reduce the State rate from Tex
arkana in order to offset the advantages
now enjoyed by that point.
The railroad representatives cited showed
that they intended raising the interstate
rate into TeXarkana. so that that poirt
would have no advantages over other
points in Texas. When this was done they
claimed that there would be no necessity
for action on the part OF the commission.
With this presentation of the case, the
commission took the matter under advise
ment and will decide whether a reduction
of rates between common points in the
State is necessary.
