Black Troop. in pall Mall.

Something really picturesque was seen in Pall Mall the other day, when body of black troops in brown hol- land uniforms, marched superbly by- London could see for itself, what it has often heard, that Africa supplied a splendid set of fighting men for serv- ice. against the Ashantis. No kings. could have marched with mien more proud than theirs; and, martinets in military etiquette, they did not turn an eye, not even an eyelash to acknowl- edge the really spontaneous cheer which greeted them from the little crowd assembled opposite to Marl- borough house. Many of these negro braves speak English fuently, and are particularly well-informed in our affairs, but not one of them recog- nized Lord Rosebery, who gave them a stare of half-astonished admiration as he happened to pass them in Pail Mall.-London Chronicle.

Railroads East mnd West Have Net
 Observed Hnterstate Rules.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Evidence of fla grant violations of the interstate conn., merce and the antitrust laws by rail- roads east and west Of Chicago was ad- duced at the session of the interstate commerce commission. Traffic man. agers of lines in the Central Freight association and the western trunk line committee admitted that export rates on grain and grain products are con- stantly cut and that officials of the roads meet at stated periods and agree upon rates, which are then promulgat-. ed by the individual lines interested. The principal witness of the day was Traffic Manager George J. Grammar of the Lake Shore road, and his recita- tion of the conditions of affairs rela- tive to grain eastbound aroused the deepest interest of the commission.
 In the opinion of the commission the condition shown by the evidence is the strongest argument that could be ad- duced for the passage of a bill by con gress giving the commission the power to make rates after a thorough inyesti-
 
 power to punish yiolators of the com missions rulings.
 Traffic Manager Grammar admitted that the exports on grain and grain products were constantly cut; that the tariffs were seldom maintained; that the export rates were always secret; that little grain had been moving as domestic grain: that an association ex- isted the members of which met at regular periods and ill violation of the antitrust law agreed upon rates and percentages and kept a record of the same When asked why the roads did not publish their export rates the same as domestic rates, he replied that if they did the press of the country would charge that the railroads were favor ing foreign countries and foreign mar kets at the expense of the home mar kets and home producers.

PROSPECTS OF RURAL FREE DE
 LIVERY ROUTES HERE.
What Has Been Done in the Matter Football To-Day-Local Blacksmith Brought Into Court Two New Mail Routes in This Vicinity.

Brought Into COurt-TWo New Mail Routes in This Vicinity.
 Within a short time arrangements will be made by several citizens of this town for a petition to be circulated in favor of rural free delivery of mail Watertown is one of the most difficult towns imaginable in which to locate a postoffice building and centralize it to conform with the wishes and accom- modations of everybody in town. Con- sequently many people on the east side find it hard to go uptown for the mail and people in the lower part of town would be more pleased to have the postotfice located in their vicinity. The only effectual remedy i'll order to satis- fy everyone would be free delivery. The matter has been given careful consideration by number of our prominent citizens
 Within five years every farmer. as well as every city resident, will have his mail delivered at his door," said superintendent Machem of the free de- livery division of the postoffice in Washington to q newspaper man re- gently ''rhe rural free delivery sys- tenn will be in operation over an area of 100000 square miles. and this will include all the inhabited territory in the United States. There will be G,UUO rural routes in operation by De cember. Of these, 1900 were estab- lished up to June 30. 1900 During the fiscal year ending last June 5000 We're established. There are now on file 6.O00 applications. and they are | coming in by hundreds from all parts Of the country. It will take us from year to year and q half to dispose Of these, and in the meantime others will accumulate The department will be compelled to ask for l much larger appropriation from congress next win ter than was granted for the present fiscal year.

ed; Four Retaken.
 LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Nov. g. Seven of the twenty-six convicts who escaped from the stockade of the new federal prison here Thursday afternoon have been accounted for. Three of the number are dead. They are James Hoffman, aged twenty, white; J. j.. Poffenholn, aged twenty-five, white, a soldier convict, and John Green. aged twenty-one, white A fourth, William Drake, white, aged nineteen, is wound ed and recaptured, and fifth, Fred Moore, aged sixteen, a negro, is recap tured unhurt
 Two other convicts, Donald Norie and R. l.. Davenport, were captured In field two miles north of Jarbale. They were hiding in a ravine, and, being un- armed, they surrendered without re- Sistance.
 Five of the men were discovered in the barn of Fay Weishaar near Nor tonville, Kan, about o'clock yester- day afternoon. Weishaar went into the barn and was ordered out at the point of guns. He rushed to Nortonville and
  revolvers, shotguns and a few Win chesterS, hastened to the scene. The convicts saw the men coming and rush. ed from the barn. They had two shot guns and revolvers. The posse pur- sued them, and q running duel re- suited.
 The convicts were at disadvantage, and their shots had no effect, while at every volley from the posse one Of the convictS fell. After two of them had fallen two of the others gave them selves up, one being wounded and the other unhurt- The fifth was fully POO yards away when q man with 8 Win chester drew bead on him and fred He evidently had been hit, but tried to go on A volley was fired at him and he fell. None of the citizens was hurt.
 Reports come from numerous points of the arrest of men supposed to be fugitive convicts, but none of the sus- poets has been identified. The oldest of the fugitiyes is aged twenty eight.
 Quinn Fort, who was killed Thurs day, was nineteen years old. One of the convicts still at large is military prisoner, and the remainder were serv- ing terms for robbery or assault. One is an Indian and two are negroes. Near ly all came from Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and they are supposed to be making for that country. They are hardy men, used to firearms and horses. Some have obtained both, but others are on foot and defenseless.
 Warden McClaughry says he will capture every one of the men. In the districts around the city every road and river crossing that the fugitives might be expected to use is guarded by armed men, the farmers having turned out to earn the $60 reward that will be paid for the return of each convict. Those of the men who are armed are likely to be shot on sight
