sTickNEY ON THE RATES.
Great Western President Thinks Pres.
ent Basis Is Fair.

Chicago Nov. S.-President Stickney
of the Chicago Great Western railroad
was the first witness at the second
days session of the interstate COM
MERGE commission. He had prepared a
number of figures to show that the
rates imposed by that road We're not
unreasonable. Mr.. Stickney's evidence
was to the effect that, while there was
am apparently large disparity between
the rates on live stock and the finished
products, yet the conditions of trans
portation made the two rates almost
equal.
President Stickney declared that all
rates We're established on q basis of an
absolutely free market and the inten-
ton of the railroad company was not to
hurt Chicago nor to build up Kansas
City
He further asserted that the live
stock rate, all things considered, is not
out of proportion to the other. He fur
Their said that rates should be based on
the cost of service and not on the value
of the property handled.
w. B. Biddle. freight traffic manager
of the Santa Fe, took issue with Presi-
NiSiA' h1siehiiSy III itSdlu 10 rates on i've
stock. He began by stating that the
rates established by his company on
packing house products are the same
as those of the Great Western road
while on live stock it is only IL cents.
compared with 231a cents as charged
by the Great Western. The witness
said that the cost of both were about
equal and that railroad men generally
realized that rates should be higher on
the finished product than on live
stock.
A. G. Bird. third vice president of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST Paul road,
declared that rates are governed large
ly by market conditions. In reply to a
question he asserted that the rates en-
forced by his road on cattle and pack
ing house products do not iniure the
public generally, and that they bring
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. He admitted that the rates now in
force are not ideal, but said they are
suited to the conditions generally pre-
vailing
Several other railroad representa-
tives were heard, but their. testimony
did not differ materially from that of
the previous witnesses.
Secretary Thompson of the Chicago
live stock exchange. submitted several
statements comparing rates enforced by
various roads. He will give additional
testimony today

TAWNEY FOR CANNON.
Winona Congressman Highly Praises
the Illinois Member

the Illinois Member.
Winona, Mimi, Nov. S.-Cong ressrnan
Tawney, now that the election is over
and the composition of the next house
is known, is not averse to talking OF the
speakership. In reply to the question as
to who will be the leading candidates
for speaker he replied:
I'm my judgment the contest will be
narrowed down very soon between Hon.
Joseph G.. Cannon, of Illinois, and Hon.
John Dalzell, of Pennsylvania. There
will doubtless be other candidates, but
ultimately these, together with their
friends, will support either Cannon or
Dalzell.
I'm my judgment the prospects of
Cannon's success are much brighter
than those of any other candidate. He
has had almost thirty-two years of
service and is equipped in every essen
tlal for the position as no other man in
the house is. His long service as chair
man of the committee on appropriations
has brought him into the very closest
relations with all the executive and adj
ministrative departments of the govern
rnent, something that is very essential
to a proper and just exercise Of the
power vested in the speaker. He is
also very popular with all members of
the house, and altho in the discharge of
his duty as chairman of the committee
on appropriations he has necessarily
antagonized a great many members
who were anxious to obtain appropria-
tons for their constituents, yet his in
tegrity and reputation for sterling hon
esty is such that no member, however
much he may be aggrieved, has ever
questioned the sincerity of his purpose
and motive in his endeavor to keep
down the aggregate of the annual APP
preparations.
..He is always candid and frank with
his colleagues. These are some of the
characteristics of the man which en-
ables him to obtain and retain the pop
ularity of his colleagues that otherwise
he would not possess, and to my mind
makes him the logical candidate for the
position of speaker

SHORTS LACK 100000 SHARES.
Western Bull Crowd Thus Estimates
State of the Market,

New York, Nov. S.-The western bull
crowd has made a canvass of the short
interest. Just how it was done nobody
seems to know. 1t has been establish
ed, however to the satisfaction of the
Gates people that the existing short
interest involves more than 100000
shares Of stock. This estimate they,
say, errs on the side of conservatism if
it errs at ALL A short interest of more
than 100000 shares is a. very large short
interest indeed, and those who heard it
thus estimated today were incredulous.
The western bull party was not partic-
ularly active in the market today. It
is understood to be waiting.
