The act does away with the old rates OF

OPEN A TARIFF WAR.
German Papers Say That Is What Mr..
Baileys Bill MAY Do.

Berlin May 31.-There is considerable
press comment upon the bill introduced
Monday in the United States house of
representatives by Mr.. Bailey (Kan.) di-
recting the president to impose and col
lect an additional duty Of 10 per cent on
all imports from Germany, in the event
of the enactment of the meat inspection
bill in its present form. The govern
ment, however, does not yet attach
special Importance to Mr.. Bailey's pro-
posal, believing that nothing will come
of it. A foreign office official, who were
Intercepted today respecting the mat
ter, defined the attitude of the German
government as above set forth, but de-
clined to discuss the bearing of Mr..
Bailey's action upon the meat inspec-
ton bill.
The Nation Zeitung says:
I'VE do not believe the United States
will be foolish enough TO begin tariff
hostilities because of the prohibition of
sausages and canned meats. In such
hostilities both sides can inf1ict dam
age"
The Lokal Anzeiger says:
1.-THE passage of Mr. Bailey's bill
would undoubtedly mean the beginning
of tariff war"
The Deutsche Tages zeitung, the
Agrarian organ says:
THE whole thing shows that the Uni
ted States are determined to make a
preteXt for a tariff war. The German
government will do well to prepare for
possibility, indeed the proba bility of a
tariff war with the United States If
the government wishes to avoid the lat

THE CENTRAL BRANCH LANDS
Property the Receivers Propose to
Sell Has Been Paid For.

Atchison, May 31-Some people think
that the receivers of the Central Branch
Union Pacific may be Offering certain
lands for sale for the reason that the
company, which formerly owned them,
has never been reimbursed to the extent
of S1,25 an acre. which amount 1t was
compelled to pay the government for
the land There seems to be no ground
for this theory. The railroad got the
land conditionaIly. It was to build and
operate a railroad before it received
full title from the government. But the
railroad needed money, and wanted
settlers along the line to raise crops
and create traffic, so it sold certificates
to the land. The understanding was that
the certificates were to give absolute
title but the railroad afterwards got
one patent from the government to all
the land along the Central Branch in
Guided in the agreement, and then de-
manded SIPS an acre of certificate hold
ers to perfect their titles
The railroads had paid the govern
ment that amount, and wanted to make
it out of certificate holders in addition
to what they had already paid Some
large owner of certificates, wouldn't
pay it, went into court and won his
case, the courts deciding that the rail-
road had to give deeds on the certifi-
Gates. That ought to settle any dispute
now. But then attorneys say that Is
years undisputed possession of land en-
titles the holder to ownership. The
owner of a piece of land the receivers
/ are Offering for sale took his deeds to
the railroads land agent, who was IN
! Atchison last week. After looking it
/ over the agent handed it back with the
/ statement that he didn't think the own
er of the deed had anything to fear.

Decision Has Been Issued.

is EMPHATIC IN TONE.
Declares There is Less Danger
and Decided Economy.
No Longer Possibility of Abolish
ment of Practice on Santa Fe

The full text of the decision of the
Texas railroad commission on the ques-
ton of running double headers in that
state has been published and a copy
forwarded to General Manager Nudge
of the Santa Fe in this city. Mr..
Nudge was one of the most important
witnesses for the railroads in the hear
ing before the commission
The argument of the commission is
interesting and important in view of
the fact that it will undoubtedly serve
as a precedent in the event of similar
action on the part of employees in other
states. It is emphatic in tone, and
when considered in connection with
Vice President Bars ideas in reference
to double heading on the Santa Fe,
practically removes every possibility of
the adjustment of the system.
The fun text reads as follows:
The railroad commission of Texas,
acting under the authority of the act
of the legislature approved the Goth day
of February, 1900, entitled An act au-
thorizing the railroad commission Of the
state of Texas to investigate into the
running and operating, by any railroad
in this state, of more than one loco
motive on any ore train at the same
time, and to authorize them to regulate
and forbid such practice, either on all

more locomotives and having received
a number of petitions from railroad con-
ductors, engineers and fremen request
ing such investiga ton, gave notice Of a
hearing by the commission on that ques-
ton, and having heard and considered
the evidence in the case. and having
read and considered the written argu-
ments of counsel in favor of and against
the prayer of the petitioners, it is the
unanimous opinion of this commission
! that the evidence does not show that the
! use of more than one engine to propel a
| train of cars causes an unreasonable
| degree of hazard to the employees on
/ them. They also find from the evidence
| that there is no more, and perhaps less,
! danger to such employees on trains pro-
PEELED by more than one locomotive than
on trains propelled by a single engine.

JACKSON'S DENIAL.
Says He Did Not Furnish Copy of
Republican Convention Resolution.

Judge jackson of Atchison charges
that Thomas Beattie misrepresented
him at the meeting of the Republican
state committee by saying that the res
olution which he was reading concern
ing the action of the state convention
was given him by Judge Jackson with
the statement that it was copy of the
one adopted by the convention, declar-
ing that the central committee elected
by the convention should comprise the
committee and that no additions should
be made by the committee.
Judge Jackson has made public a
statement of this incident, in which he
says:
Mr. Crum was correct in part in say
ing that the idea of 1T was to prevent
the appointment of an outside executive
committee, but it was also to prevent
the election of a chairman from the out
side It was not to keep Frank Brown
out of the Secretaryship' and have no
knowledge that that matter was at any
time thought of, discussed or suggested.
Il did not furnish to Mr.. Beattie the
resolution nor did / say to him or any
other person that it was a correct copy
of the one offered in and adopted by the
convention. In fact it was not a copy
of the motion which I offered in such
convention as is we'll known to about
800 keen, clear headed delegates

CHINATOWN SUBMITS.

San Francisco, May 31.-Referring to

1--WE shall do nothing precipitately in
the way of litigation and therefore we
do not contemplate making an applica-
ton to the courts at this time for any
order to modify or hinder the opera
lions of the board of health.
"A cause of considerable uneasiness
among the inhabitants Of Chinatown
is the lack of quarantine regulations
thus far observed within the guaranteed
district. In this district it is not claim
ed that there are CT ever have been
more than nine or ten cases. The con-

subject to the quarantine is that If it is
necessary to quarantine this numerous

the board of health to go further and
quarantine or isolate the houses and
persons who are said to be infected. We
shall also request the board of health
to proceed vigorously with the santa

question of the expense is a secondary
matter. If genuine bubonic plague ex-
