ST. PkUL'S RATES
 ARE UNREASOhAEL E
Says Vice President Bird, They Are
 Unreasonably Low.

Chicago, November GA. c. Bird, third vice president O. the St. Paul road, took a bold stand before the in tcrstate commerce commission today when that body began an investigation into the rates on cattle and packing house products between Chicago and the Missouri river. MT. Bird was the first witness of importance before the commission, and when asked if he de- sired to defend the reasonableness of the St. Paurs livestock rates he de- clarCd that they were not reasonable.
 Not only are our livestock rates un- reasonable" he declared, "but all our freight rates today are unreasonable because they are entirely too low to compensate for the service rendered. All freight rates should be raised and I am surprised that railroads do not make a combined effort and raise them"
 This statement surprised the mem bers of the commission, and they inn mediately started to ascertain Mir Birds reasons. I-Ie witness stated that it was unfair to take the past two years as a basis from which to judge Of the fairness of rates and the fair ness of remuneration derived from traffic by the railroads, for during tha, period the volume of traffic had greatly increased, whereas before that period railrOading had not as a general propo- sitiOn been remunerative. With respect to cattle rates, MT. Bird asserted that cattle did not now and had not for years paid their just proportion of transportation charges, and that to further reduce the rates of cattle would be to make a bad situation worse. When asked what governed the scien- tifc making of rates, he replied that he had not seen the time in twenty five years when rates could be made on a scientific basis. On the contrary, rates are always based on competition, comparison and compromise.

MOLINEUX CASES
 NEW SENSATION

New York, November s.-The great est sensation in the second trial of R. B. Mclineux, charged with the murder of Mrs. Adams, came late today, when Mrs. Hannah Stephenson, the wife of q Brooklyn policeman, was called to the stand by the defense and testified positively that Molineux was not the man who mailed the now famous poi son package at the general postofTice on the evening of December 23, 1898.
 Then the witness partially identified Harry Cornish, who was asked to stand up in court, as the man whom she saw standing in front of her in the line at the postofIice and holding in his hand a package addressed to MT. Harry Cornish, Knickerbocker club
 That was all she saw. Her identifi cation of Cornish was not positive. She said he looked very much like the man. The witness gave reasons for not ap- bearing at the first trial. She said she offered her testimony, but was shut off by the decision of lawyers to offer no defense. Then after Molineux's con viction she sent word of the evidence she had to give to General MolineuX.
 The prosecution on cross -examina- tion brought out the fact that Mrs. Stephenson had suffered from attacks of nervous prOGtration within the last two years and had carefully read the details of the former trial. The ques tions of the assistant district attorney tended to show that an effort will be made to prove the testimony an in sanity or delusion under hysteria. It is also probable that an effort will be made to prove an alibi for Cornish.

Boston, Mass, November 6.-Today's developments in the case of A. G. Mason, who is under arrest charged with the murder of Miss Clara Morton. a laundress at the Mclean asylum in Waverly, last Saturday night has been of a startling nature.
 It was announced first that the watch of the victim had been found in a Cam bridge-street pawnshop, where it had been pawned for $4 by a young negro and this discovery at once led to C. general search of the city for this man by the entire police force but without avail. But later developments were far more sensational. When the pawn brokers memory had been logged a lit tie and he had time to think over the matter, he remembered that the watch had been brought to his office last Sat urday night between the hours of II and 11:30 by a white man and offered in pawn.
 Owing to the fact that it was after business hours he refused to receive it, and after expressing disappointment the man departed. taking the watch with him.
 On Monday morning the same watch was brought in by a colored man about twenty-one years of age, and the pawn broker bought it for S4.
 A burly colored man, evidently a companion of the other, had been wait ing outside the shop while the trade was being made, and as soon as it was completed he entered and took the money which the proprietor had passed over. Both men then departed.
 Continuing their investigation, the officers made another startling discov- cry which will have an important bear

ing on the case to the effect that the watch of Miss Agnes McPhee of Som erVille, another Jack the Slugger'' victim, had been pawned at the same Cambride-streat shop on October 9. the day after her murder, by a white man whose description tallies exactly with that of the man who brought the Nor ton watch to the pawnbroker's shop last Saturday night.
 The description of these men is said by the police to agree to striking eX- tent with that of the suspect, Mason. and the pawnbrOker will be given a chance tomorrow to identify him if possible as his visitor.
 The unexpected development today has been most unfavorable to the pris-. oner, although his friends still insist that he can fully establish an aIbi.
 Search for the mysterious colored man Is being carried on as vigorously as ever and all sections of the city are being closely watched by the police to- night.
 Two days ago the state police arrest ed A. c. Mason, a wealthy business man and club member of Boston. on suspicion of having killed Miss Morton. After the days investigation the au- thorities were convinced that Mason could establish an alibi, and they an nounced that he would be released. but during the succeeding night witnesses were found who positively identified Mason as one whom they had seen in Waverly, where the murder was com mitted, or Saturday night.
 On the strength of the evidence yes terday warrant charging Mason with the murder was issued and he was held without bail until Tuesday.

Denver, Colo., November 6-AlthouGh the returns from Tuesdays election il Colorado are very far from complete, enough has been received to show that the republicans will have 2 majority in the lower house of the legislature, while the democrats will have a ma jority in the scnate. From the best re- ports to be obtained at this time the legislature seems to stand on jcint ballot, democrats 53, republicans A.
 Of the democratic representatives Ii are from this (Arapahoe) county and their seats will be contested by the republicans on the ground that frauds were committed in registration and at the election.
 Republican leaders declare that the whole number will be unseated, thus making the legislature heavily. repub- lican on joint ballot. IL is declared by leading democrats that if this occurs and the course adopted by the republ- cans succeeds the democratic senate will block tae election Of q senator to succeed Senator Teller. Republicans, however, say this will be impossible.
 Already several republican candi- dates for the United States senate are mentioned. They include D. II. Moi fat. F. c. Goudy, Irving Howbert A. NJ. Stevenson, A B. Seaman and others besides former senator F.. O. Wolcott, who is generally conceded to be the strongest man in the race fl he decides to enter 1t.
 The republican pluralities on the state ticket will probably reach 7,00C.
