London, Feb 27.-Cronje's plan APP
pears to have been to hold all the
british possible about his camp till
certain his artillery retreat is assured
The proposed armistice would have
gained twenty four hours for the re
treat of the guns, while the agreement
would only have covered the fighting
force engaged at that point.
Boer sympathizers think Cronje will
hold fast until the last moment and
that then the order will be given
|severy man for himself with in
structions to rally at a point north,
where the artillery will be safe in a
new position
1t is insisted that this plan was fol-
lowed about Ladysmith, the guns
being slowly and safely removed to
defend the Transvaal passes, while a
mobile force was left in the trenches to
prevent sudden attack by the British.

CATTLEMEN AND RAILROADS.
An Agreement Reached which Promises
Mutual satisfactfon.

Topeka, Feb. eT-The conference
arranged between the Kansas cattle
men and railroads resulted in the
differences being adjusted The rail
roads gave the cattle a pasturage or
feeding in transit rate. but declined to
restore the old carload rate
The railroads propose to abolish the
weighing system of which the cattle
men complain and accept the weights
at the Kansas City stockyards, by
which the cattle are sold The roads
also promise to take up the individual
cases complained of and make effort
to right wrongs which may exist
The conference ended by a general
hand shaking despite the fact that
some of the cattlenen charge that
nothing has been gained for the fat
stock shipper and that the agreement
reached is compromise in which the
cattlemen surrendered The railroad
men claim they have met the cattle
men more than half way and made
important concessions.
This agreement, it is said, does not
stop the suit of the catt1emen against
the Santa Fe, brought to determine
the validity of the law creating the
court of visitation.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Before his
death, and after giving much thought
the subject, General Lawton had
w orlzed out a plan for the maintenance
of order in the Philippines, after the
close of actual war, which had been
submitted to General Otis, and is, pre-
sumablv, the plan which will commend
itself to the war department. General
Eayxton- s idea was to create a force of
native police, whose officers, at first in
all grades, and finally, as conditions
improve, in the upper grades alone,
shall be Americans Some such force
as this is successfully applied in
Cuba by General Wood under the Gen

the railroads will have to haul dele
gates to the convention of the National

THE RAILROADS. ARGUMENTS.
Vice President Morton Talks to the
Cattlemen.
If CARS WERE UNIFORM SIZE.

Topeka, Feb. GA large number of
cattlemen and railroad people had a
conference in the supreme court room,
Governor Stanley presiding
Vice President Paul Morton, of the
Santa Fe, was called upon to open the
discussion. He said that the 100 pound
system was not new or untried- The
railroads appreciate the live stock in
dustry; they recognize it the leading
industry of the West, and one which
brings them in a large portion of freight
receipts The change from the car
load rate to the 1oo-pound rate was
made for the purpose of fairly asses

fndefenSible for the railroads to charge
h shipper as much for % 900 pounds
for 2s, 900; for nineteen steers much
as for twenty-three steers The 100
pound rate prevents this discrirnina-
tion- 1t has been in use in the East
for years, and has been in use in Kan

crease in rate only 10 per cent. The
Ereat trouble about the car rate is to
te1 what car is. They vary so in size
that it is necessary to adopt some other
system asa basis for charging The
1oo-pound rate is the equitable and
fair one. The interests of the railroads
and cattlemen are mutual. The roads

rates are lower for the services per-
