Action Said to Be a Plan to Sc
cure Long Haul on Grain.

Kansas City, Aug PA fight between
the Santa F'e railway company and the
Kansas City board of trade is impending,
as result of a notice given by the Santa
Fe that it would not recognize disposition
orders grain when for delivery for
shipment on the Alton, Burlington, Maple
Leaf or Rock Island roads, and that if
disposition was not given within, forty
eight hours, grain would be subject to I'M.

pense.

that it would deliver grain to the Bur

II they would send their cars into the
Santa Fe yards to get it, or if they would
furnish satisfactory assurances OF the
prompt return of the cars. The Santa
Fe claims its action is taken because of
the general car shortage and the con IS

cept disposition an order for shipment
over either of these lines.
AS to the notice that grain for which

after its arrival in Kansas City, and that

the yards here for a longer period than

present time much more than any reason
able demurrage charge, and points to the
fact that country shippers along it's line
finding it difficult to furnish. It says the
grain trade, as whole, will not be hurt
by its ruling, as the Inconvenience and
possible losses accruing here will be more
than offset by the advantages to the
country shipper, who will be enabled to
get cars to bring his wheat to market.
Members of the board of trade take a
different view of this phase of the mat
ter They. say that wheat brought into
Kansas City by the Santa Fe, hedged
about by the conditions imposed, will be
worth less money on this market than
can be reshipped under the normal con-
ditions. The shippers from Santa Fe
points. they say. win lose y cent or more
on every bushel of wheat because the
market for it will be so contracted that
only one or two buyers can handle ne
grain upon it's arrival and that compe-
tition will be. in a measure, a dead letter
in the matter of its sale.
They further contend that the notice
given by the Santa Fe is in furtherance
of a premeditated plan to force the grain
through Kansas City on its own rails
instead of allowing it to stop here and be
handled on this market. They say the
Santa F'e wants the long haul on the grain
to Chicago, and is trying to force other
lines out of competition for the grain
traffic it originates.

Connie Mack, of East Brookfeld, man

EXCURSIONS STILL POPULAR.
Colorado Summer Resorts Continue
to Attract Eastern Crowds.

The patronage of the Colorado excur-
sions has not fallen off since they met
with popular fancy at the time they
were inaugurated early this summer.
Instead, the numbers OF people taking
advantage of the low rates to western
points have been increasing with each
succeeding excursion.
A prominent railroad official said yes
terday: 1.-The travel this year has been
something phenomenal. Never before
in the history of the railroads run
ming into Colorado has there been such
large crowds to look after. We have
had hard time in finding equipment to
fill out our excursion trains and then we
have been crowded"

MORE TROUBLE IN o. R. T.
Chief Powell Suspends the Chairman
of California Division.

San Francisco. Cal, Aug. 2S.-The
Chronicle says:
Trouble is brewing in the Order of
Railway. Photographers The immediate
cause of the trouble is the action of w.
V. Powell. president of the order, in sus-
pending George Estee, chairman of divi-
sion s.
For some time there has been much dis
satisfaction among the telegraphers re-
garding the administration of certain reg
benefits of the order. President Powell
took a stand that was distasteful to the
members, especially those of division 50.
and when Estee was called on to execute
the orders issued by his superior he hesi-
tated and finally referred the matter back
to headquarters. The correspondence that
followed did not contribute much toward
the settlement of the misunderstanding
was issued.

reach five feet from the end of the ties
and will be arranged so that they may
be adjusted to any slope which may be
desired. The machine will also spread
the ballast between the rails as well as
on the outside.
Comparatively few of the ballast
spreading machines have found their
way into the west. They are, however,
quite common in the east.
The machine which the Santa Fe is
building will be put to a practical test
so as to decide whether it is adapted to
the needs of the road. If 1t proves to be

is quite probable that several more will
be built in the shops of the company or
else a contract will be let to a manu-
featuring company for their construc-
ton.

O'Rourke, manager for Sharkey, predicts
quick victory for the sailor, and Mrs.
Fitzsimmons, who was nervous on the
eve Of Fitzsimmons' battle with Rubin,
says that it will be a walkover for Bob.
Sharkey takes violent exception to the
argument that the beating he received
at the hands of Jehrfes has rendered
him less formidable in the ring. He says
that those who are that way of thinking
formed their opinions from his fight with
Rubin, but that the go in question was

that he was stale to the verge of weak

He was IN the pot-hook-and-hange

manner in which Fitz outclassed him in
those distant days.
Sharkey knew very little about the
correct methods of hitting, and his
ideas OF getting to close quarters were
crude. A laundering rush and swing
with either hand about constituted his
stock in trade Fitzsimmons on such
occasions stopped him with straight

RAILROADS DISSATISFIED.
Low Tourist Rates to Colorado Have
Reduced Earnings.


Denver, Aug. 3-Transcontinenta
roads are reported to be far from salts
fed with the results of the tourist bust
ness SO far this year. In point of num-
berS the travel has been from 25 to so
per cent greater on the different lines
but the low rates which have obtained
will, it is said, reduce the actual earn
ingS to a point even lower than they
were last year It is said the matter
will be gone into thoroughly at the
Glenwood meeting of the passenger
agents the last of this month, and it is
highly probable that, if all roads will
consent, the rates next year will not be
lowered at any time beyond the regular
$45 tourist rate for the round trip from
Missouri river points.
Basing the tourist earnings on the
actual number of tickets sold, the re-
suit this year is only slightly higher
than last year. For the season of 1899
the record was in the neighborhood of
$4,000 tourist tickets. No actual figures
have SO far been obtained for this years
business, but estimates furnished by the
joint ticket agents place the number
around $4,000. Last year the rate was
$45 during the tourist season, with no
special rates except on one or two large
excursions. The earnings on this basis
were $4,000. This year business at the
$31.50 rate, with the increased number
of tourists, only aggregates $8S7,500. Out
of this must come the additional ex-
pense entailed by handling 1000 addi-
tional people. The margin for increased
earnings is therefore very scant.
All Colorado lines hope, however, that
the rates will continue to obtain as their
business has increased fully IN proper
ton to the increase of tourists without
any reduction of rates. Colorado lines
will this year show from 80 to so per
cent increase in their passenger business
on account of the low rate inaugurated
by the Rock Island and afterwards
adopted by all of the other Transmits
