RAILROADS NOT TO BLAME.
Have Done Everything Possible to
Help Buffalo Show

The slim attendance at the Buffalo ex-
position has raised the ire of the resi-
dents Of that city, who are blaming the
railroads for the trouble.
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Cal Stone, in speaking of the attitude
the Euhalonians are taking, said to the
o e:
The people Of Buffalo are making a.
big mistake when they blame the rail
roads for lack of attendance at the fair
Never in the history of eXpositions have
the roads of this country gone to such
an expense to fit themselves for handling
the people quickly, safely and comforta.
bly There has never been an exposi-
ttOn that has been so thoroughly adVer
tsed by the railroads as the Buffalo
show, and they have stopped at nothing
to cooperate with the exposition neople
in making it big success They believe
yet tnat 1t will be a great success, and
believe that the people can be induced
to attend without the roads carving
them for nothing, or even at a loss
"Bunalonians should lend their fair
their presence, instead Of standing
around and knocking the railroads
Only few of the good folks down there
know What a great exposition they have
Instead of berating the railroad lines,
they ought to attend themselves morn
Ing, noon and night, and observe what
a big thing the Buffalo expo is. And.
by the way it is the greatest fair of its
KIND that was ever held in this neck of
tle woods. and If the people won't come,

Syndicate of. Card and Race Track
Crooks Had n Good Thing

crooks Had a Good Thing.
PARIS, July 3O.-The police here have
unearthed a gang of turf swindlers and
card sharpers whose operations were
characterized by extraordinary audacity
The first discovery was made at the end
of May when a morse named Colimacon
(the SnaiD and known as a worthless
platter, won a race at Colombes, easily,
with the betting II to l against the
horse. week later Colimacon engaged
in similar performance at Maisons-
Laffitte. The jockey club investigated
the running of Colimacon and found that
a. first class English race horse had been
substituted for the original Colimacon
by Belgian named Hereboudt who has
previously been warned off the French
race courses. The police then took the
matter up and discovered that Here
boudt was the head of a perfect organi-
zatlon of crooks working in France and
Belgium. A majority of the members of
the gang had assumed high sounding IT,
ties and frequented fast circles and clubs.
One member, a brother of a we'll known
Abyssinian explorer, VINO styled himself
Count was arrested. Two others were
self-styled 'barons" and one had given
himself the title of prince" They oc-
cupied sumptuous apartments in the
Champs Elysees and Madeleine quarters,
to which they inveigled gilded youths
and sWindled them at baccarat The
losses of Prince Karageoggovitch and
four otner young men of good families
who complained to the police alone
amount to 10000 francs The swindlers
owned a yacht called The Westermine,
on board of which their dupes were in
Ylted and We're subsequently plucked.
The police also traced to the gang the
promotion of number of fictitious min
ing and coal companies. The investiga-
tions of the police led to the flight of
the swindlers. Several of them have
gone to Abyssinia. Hereboudt sailed for
Holland on board the Westermine The
revelations have caused a sensation in
club land and sporting circles.

WILL keep CUTTING
RESULT OF YESTERDAYS MEETING
WILL BE OPEN SLASHING
OF TARIFFS
CONTRACTS CAN'T BE BROKEN
Roads VIII Send in Names of Every
shipper on Their Lists
Designated as
Contract"

The exclusive report in yesterdays
G o b of the meeting of the st. Paul
lines at the office of General Traffic Man
ager Clarke, of the Omaha road, which
was held Monday morning, created much
c mment in the local railroad world. The
meeting was supposed to have been
secret one and it was agreed by those
officials present not to make any of the
proceedings public, but to string the
papers along" to use the language of
local freight man, and give out the ira
preston that the subject of the confer
ence was purely little discussion re-
garding the flour situation.
As a matter of fact, the G o is
able to state that the flour situation Is
not bothering anyone in railroad circles.
The flour rates form a very small item
now; it is the general rate situation that
is causing the traffic men to scratch
their heads and wonder where they are
at.
O. Next Monday morning the representa-
tives of the st. Paul lines will hold
another meeting at Mr Clarke's office for
the purpose of deciding what to do with
all the business which has been con-
tracted by the roads at cut prices to be
shipped between this date and Dec. 81.
II Will be impossible for many of the
lines to abrogate these contracts and it
will be up to the members of the meet
ing to make some disposition of this
perpleXing problem.
The result of the whole thing will be
that, instead Of secret rate-cutting, we
will all cut the rates openly remarked
a prominent freight official yesterday to
the G o b e. The present agreement is
that the rates will all be maintained ex-
cept those that are covered by contracts.
Now here is what will really be done:
The roads will send in the name of every
shipper on their books with the remark
that they are contract shippers By
doing this the Twin City shippers will be
able to get reduced rates under the
guise of contract rates. This talk of ad-
Vancing rates is all tommyrot. Take my
word for it, no rates will be advanced

Crop Shortage VIII Not Decrease
Revenues Materially.

Revenues Materially.
Vice President Morton, of the Santa
Fe, saws that the time has passed when
a crop shortage will injure traffic dis
astrously. In an interview recently he
said:
The rains during the last few days
throughout the West have done much
GOOD, and will have the effect of saving
at least a portion of the corn crop. 1t
viii enable the farmers to yet raise con-
siderable fodder for the feeding of cat
tie, and Uae danger of a meat famine the
coming winter seems TO have been avert
ed Farmers should be cautioned against
throwing their cattle on an already glut
ted market, as they are assured of
enough fodder to keep them in good con-
ditCn until fall and winter, when much
better prices viii be obtained for them.
1t is true that the corn crop in Kan
damaged by hot winds, but the reports
OF damage in Nebraska and Iowa have
been much exaggerated. Corn in Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio IS looking fairly well,
and with the rain of the last few days
viii undoubtedly make a fair crop.
The loss OF the corn crop in Kansas
and Missouri to the railroads is no longer
the serious matter it used to be. Take,
Tor instance, the Santa Fe 1t has di-
Nersliitd its tonnage to such an extent
that corn is not now the all-important
factor in making earnings. There are
many things that can happen to make
UP ILe loss OF the corn crop, ana the
people Of Kansas and the railroads are
to be congratulated on the prosperous
condition they are in to meet this loss
In my opinion the Atchison, Topeka
Santa Fe railroad Will earn as much
money the next twelve months as it has
earned during the last year. notwith-
standing the damage to corn. There has
been no failure of crops in Kansas for
the last five years, and the people there
arc splendidly equipped for the present
loss OF the corn. / estimate that KAN
sas will not raise to exceed one-third of
an average crop but it is claimed there
are lOO0O0O bushels of old corn in the
hands of farmers"

Stockholders of bankrupt Company
Want Directors Lynched.

Want Directors Lynched.
LONDON, July SO.-At the first meeting
OF the creditors today, and at a subsc-
quent meeting of the shareholders of the
Standard Exploration company. one Of
the concerns known as the "Whittaker-
Wright group" the official receiver made
such astounding revelations that he drew
from the excited shareholders demands
for the lynching of the persons implicat-
ed. The receiver said that the estimated
assets were farcical The fourteen mines
valued at 8767, 900, had earned nothing
The company started with cash capital
OF 95O0OOO, but the directors took little
interest in the companys mines and de-
voted themselves to stock exchange spec
ulation "and that's where your money is
gone said the receiver; "G22S, 600 was
lost in differences in Lake Erie, ana
9225OOO was lost in differences in Gale
donian Copper. The total profits from
speculations were 93S,OO0, and the losses
are $685. 00O
After a few more such statements
which, a shareholder said, would stag
ger humanity" another shareholder ask
cd the receiver to prevent the directors
from making away with their property, as
1t was reported they were doing
Are these men still at large?' shout
ed another shareholder.
Yes, they are" came the answer, and
Immediately those present at the meet
ing rose to their feet somebody shouting
lynch them" 1t was an exciting moment
for Lord Pelham-Clint Gen. Cough
Calthorpe and others, who were attend
ing the meeting. A storm of angry cries
and misses broke out, but the receiver
finally succeeded in calming the share
holders by promising them every protec-
tion possible.

CHICAGO, July 9O.-"Though the

Prices of vegetables average double what
they were year ago, and to make both

restauranteurs all over the city have been
compelled either to raise their prices or
curtail the quantity served. Poultry and
veal arrive deteriOrated to an extent that

loss. 1t is good consignment that reaches
the street with six out of a dozen eggs in

So greatly has the fruit crop suffered
that for canning purposes prices are al
most prohibitive, and California fruits are
now bringing almost as much as thew did
at the beginning of the season. Potatoes
that last summer sold from 80 to 40 cents
per bushel are now moved at 81. .25 to 81. 30
During the past few days dry pea beans
have advanced 80 cents a bushel owing
to the demand from the drought stricken
districts. Even at this advance, dealers
are unable to fill all their orders. The
prices quoted are wholesale.

AGENTS ARE ANXIOUS.
Proposed Consolidation OF Offices
May Leave Them without Jobs.

Railroad officials in the West are anx-
ious regarding the reported consolidation
of agencies with a view to the reduction
of expenses. The fiat has already gone
forth that the Union Pacific agencies are
to be consolidated wherever they exist
extensively. Sept. has already been set
as the date for such consolidation, and at
that time quite a number of general and
district agents will find themselves out of
employment
This plan of consolidation is said to be
one of the pet theories of E. H. Harri-
man, and it is generally believed that he
will push it to the utmost wherever he
can exert sufficient influence to do so.

May BE Chosen to Look After n. P.
and Burlington Traffic

It is reported that ]. c. Stubbs, who
is now looking after the traffic interests
of the Hartman lines, will soon act III a
similar position for the Northern Paci-
fc and Burlington. Should Mr. Stubbs
be given traffic Jurisdiction over all the
roads embraced by the Union and South
ern Pacific systems and the Northern
Pacific and Burlington, IT would enable
them to maintain rates and give them
stability they have not always had in
the past. There is no doubt that both the
North Western and the Milwaukee will
cooperate to the fullest extent with any
practical plans that may be suggested
for giving stability to the rate situation,
as all their interests lie in that dfrec-
tion.
1t is said that If small lines like the
Wisconsin Central attempt to- disturb the
established tariffs they. will be told,
quietly but firmly, to desist from their
demoralizing practices or they will be
shut out effectively and completely from
all participation in through business.
They will then have to depend solely on
that part of the traffic originating on
their own lines which their manipulations
are likely to bring them. This, 1t is
claimed, will not be enough to supply the
operating expenses of their roads.
