LAW OF ASSOCIATION.
Bill Passed by French Chamber 3O3
to 300

Paris March 30.-The law of associa-
tons BILL one of the most important
measures considered by the French par
lament during the last decade. was
passed last evening by the chamber OF
deputies by a vote of 303 TO 900, amid
prolonged ministerial cheers.
Georges Tr4ouletts, Republican, report
er for the committee having the bill in
charge, closed his appeal for its passage
with the following impressive declara-
ton:
ITO our country, divided by political
revolutions, the public gives a law which
offers to it's adversaries the greatest lib
erty, the right TO unite freely. No gov
eminent, no chamber, ever raised to so
high degree Of respect the principles
and sentiments of republican duty.
The rightists protested against these
remarks, but their voices We're drowned
in the loud applause raised by the left
lists. The vote was then taken.
The chamber had previously disposed
of the concluding articles Of the bill
without change, with the exception Of
article IS, which was modified by the
adoption of an amendment proposed by
GuStaVe L'HOpiteau, Radical Repubn-
can, providing that the property OF
illegal congregations should not be con-
fiscated by the state on their disSOlu-
ton, but that the question of the right
full holders should be decided by the
courts.
The effect of the amendment will not
be to prevent the property going to the
state, but to give legal sanction to the
seizure. M. LHopiteau explained that
the object was to remove any anxiety
which might be aroused among the
people that property rights were en-
dangered.
M Waldeck- Rousseau, the premier,
objected to the amendment, mainly on
the ground that it would give rise to in
terminable legal proceedings, but the
chamber adopted it.
The result is not satisfactory to the
government, but it is believed that M
Waldecl- Rousseau will try to induce
the senate to eliminate what he consid-
ers the Objectionable features of the
amendment on the theory that the
chamber viii endorse the elimination
when the bill is returned for final ac-
ton
The chamber adjourned to May Il.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Kansas City Live Stock Men AZ
ter the Railroads.
Want Feed Yards Built Along
Kansas City Lines.
WILL MAKE DEMANDS.
Decrease In Sheep Receipts Is
the Cause.
WILL MAKE DEMANDS.
Union Pacific DifferentiaI From
Fort Collins Damaging.

The live stock commission men of
Kansas City are after the railroads CEN
tering in that city. This time the trou-
Bile comes as a result of the decline Of
sheep receipts In the year 1900 the
number received was about 100000 less
than that Of 1897.
The cause Of this seems to be that ex
cept the Santa Fe. the railroads do not
have feed yards and sheds near Kansas
City at which the sheep may be unload
ed and fed and watered before being put
ON the market. On the main line Of the
Santa Fe there is such a feeding and
watering station at Emporia. shippers
from the far west are glad to avail
themselves of the opportunity to unload
their stock at a point only few hours
run from the market and after a rest or
a day or two. possibly a week, to go on
the market This matter OF shrinkage
is watched closely by stock men and of
course the object is to have the stock
eat and drink as much as possible Just
before being weighed after sale. The
roads running into Chicago have pro-
vided for this by building yards about
fiftv miles ont from the CITY. The great
distance from the ranges in Wyoming,
Idaho, Texas, New Mexico and other
ranges north and south makes this al.
most necessary in order that owners or
stock can put it on the market in as
good condition as when it was first ship
ped.
from the range necessitates other feed
ing grounds along the road
A large percentage of sheep sold on
the Missouri river markets in Chicago
are gathered up along the Colorado and
Southern railroad, which carries them to
Fort Collins, Col, and there delivers
them to the Union Pacific This has
made Fort Collins the greatest of all
feed-in-transit stations and is so recog-
nized by shippers. The Union Pacific
gives Chicago and Omaha preference
over Kansas City from this point, which
materially Injuries Kansas City.
The rate of the Union Pacific from
Fort Collins to Kansas City is SO more
per car than to Chicago and Omaha and
it is this that has damaged materially
the interests OF Kansas City. The Off
Gals of the railroad promised, it is
claimed, some time ago to strike off this
differentiaI, but the rate is still in effect
The Kansas City commission men
have asked for the appointment of
committee to ask the Union Pacific for
a reduction from Fort Collins and induce
the Union Pacific, Burlington and Rock
Island TO construct sheds and feeding
yards on their Kansas City lines

TO RESUME ooMMIss1oN PLAN
Railroads May Begin Paying Com
missions on Ticket Sales

Chicago. March S0-A resumption of
the payment of commissions on ticket
sales is a possibility threatening west
ern railroads. according to the Evening
Post Railroad officials are excited over
reports that certain roads are nov. nav
ing commissions to a firm engaged in
running summer excursions" Roads
which refused to give this firm commits
sions for routing their business over
their lines have been refused business
by the excursion people it is claimed,
and the traffic is given exclusively to
roads which We're paying commissions
prior to the agreement abolfshiner such
payments. This il taken as strong evil
dence that the latter roads are violating
the agreement Convincing proofs az
violations. it is said, is likely to lead to
the practical abrosation Of the covenant
by all roads concerned and the resump-
ton of commission PAYMENTS to ticket
agents as before

The quickest relief, for a cold, is by
Scott's emulsion of cod-Iiver oil.
We all have colds. you can try it and
see You will find the edge taken off in
night; and in three or four days, you'll
be wondering whether that cold amount
ed to anything anyhow
That's relief. If you tackle it quick,
the relief is quick and complete, if you
wait till the cold is in full possession of
head and lung, why of course. the re-
lief is quick if it comes in a week
A little emulsion won't clear and re-
store your whole breathing machine in
a minute; don't be looking for miracles.
