BIG CASE DISMISSED.
Penalty Suit for 100000 Against
Union Pacific. Dropped.

Union FaClnef OroPPoos
Lincoln, Neb, Sept. 17.-The last of
the penalty suits brought by Constan-
tine j. Smyth during his tenure as at
torney general against railroads of Me-
braska is about to be eXpunged from
the records Of the supreme court of the
state. EARLY in 1900 the fusion attor-
ney general began several cases, tax
ing in practically every railroad do
ing business in the state, and asking
that the court assess penalties aggre-
eating 100000 for alleged violations
of the maximum freight laws. One by
one the suits have been abandoned and
dismissed until the only one remain-
ing was that against the Union Pa
cific, the amount Mr.. Smyth asked the
road to contribute to the state ex-
ceeding s6,O00,ooo.
The Union Pacific case, after run
ming the gamut of the courts delays
for over two years, was referred some
time ago to referees to take testimony
and report to the court, with findings
thereon. e. r. Duff1e and Ed p Smith,
of Omaha. We're named by the court
as referees Their report was filed with
the court yesterday. The document as
serts that exhaustive inquiry into the
testimony and the law leads to the
conclusion that the penalties can not be
legally exacted from the railroad COM
parry. They recommend that the stat
ute be declared Unconstitutional, in
operative and void and that the action
be dismissed"

STAGE MONEY DANGEROUS.
Secret Service Men Decide Actors Must
Do Without Counterfeit.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE secret
service bureau has decided to round
up stage money as dangerous In take
OF counterfeiting operations. Ihere
have been several complaints to the
treasury department of ignorant lmml-
grants having been duped by the use OF
what is known as stage money" IN lieu
of the real coin of the realm. The Sc
cret service bureau has been lenlent
toward this fake money because IL
seemed to serve a purpose on the stage
when actors have to appear free in the
use of rolls of bank bills. 1t is not
counterfeit in the general sense OF the
term, because it has not been used to
deceive any one until recently. But the
secret service men in New york Ave
discovered that this fake money has
been imposed upon immigrants, and the
order has gone out to seize all such
money and also the plates for printing
lit. Assistant Chief William III. Mason
said yesterday. We have been quietly
looking up this question of stage money
for some time, and we have seized
quite large number of plates and the
impressions from the same. L nave
heard of course, of the Immigrant mat
ter and our men nave INSTRUCTIONS W
act at once in the suppression OF tlis
wholesale distribution OF stage money
for advertising devices which tena 10
deceive the ignorant and lllltefate. Our
men have orders to first report the mat
ter to the United States attorney IN
whose district the offense occurs. ana
then under orders from him to seize 1ne
stuff and have ii destroyed While this
action is not aimed particularly at the
stage. I suppose it will have to suffer
with the advertising people, !.
Even the paintings of barrels OF
money! which have been flooding the
country of late will not be exempt.
They will be seized and DESTROYED By
the government agents. The little pic
lures of several bills of large deno'hl-
ia ton tied with piece of ribbon Will
have to go with the others.

Panama Situation

Representation. Will Be Made to the
Government at Bogola and Troops

ditions Are Bad.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Secretary of
the Navy Moody today received the fol-
lowing cablegram from Commander
Mclean. of the Cincinnati, who arriv-
ed at Colon yesterday:
Yesterday l went to Panama.
Train stopped twice by distractions
plate iron placed on track. After train
passed saw government soldiers re-
place distractions. Accompanied by
consul and Commander Potter (of
Ranger) called on governor. Friendly
conversation. Returning to Colon this
morning, stopped by distractions. Sol
diers were compelled to remove them.
Soldiers then stood on track. BY my
directions train moved on and soldiers
jumped away. Will guard trains. No
revolutionists In sight, but rumored
coming toward railroad"
The above dispatch was not dated
except as coming from Colon, but is
accepted as referring to events on
Monday. The officials at Washington
are not inclined to jump hastily at the
conclusion that the obstruction of traf-
fic by government soldiers was inspired
by the Colombian government itself. but
are more ready to believe that the act
was for the purpose of ascertaining
lie any revolutionists occupied the
train. Commander McLean's dispatch,
as given above, is not in full. some por-
tons containing expressions Of opin-
ION on the commanders part having
been eliminated. 1t is understood that
at the meeting of Commanders Me
Lean and Potter and the United States
consul with Governor Salaazer at Pan
anna the latter disavowed responsible
ity for the act of the government

Acting Secretary of State Adee and
Secretary Moody We're in consultation
for some time today in regard to the
.isthmian situation, tho the conference
took place before the receipt of Com
mander McLean's dispatch. However,
the dispatch was referred to the state
department Immediately upon its re-
ceipt and 1T is understood that some
representations will be made to the
government at Bogota with a view to
preventing repetition of the incident
and obtaining some expression from
Colombia which may simplify the

Senator cockrelI Shows Why It 10 Not
Needed Now.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 17.-"As long as
these conditions and circumstances ex-
list it is neither wise nor judicious. nor
for the best interests of our people and
country, to work for the free coinage
Of silver"
This significant utterance was made
by Senator G.. d. Cockrell last night
in an exhaustive speech on political
subjects with which he opened the
campaign in Missouri.
After expressing his fealty to the
theory of bimetalism, Mr.. Cockrell
showed how the abnormally large in
crease in the production and imports
of gold has resulted in a large increase
i'll the volume of money in circulation,
concluding with this statement:
The effect of this increase in the
volume of money has been precisely
what the bimetallists claimed would be
the result of the increase of money
by the free coinage of silver and fully
sustains the cumulative theory of
money. With this increased volume of
nDney. prices have risen, industries
have revived and prosperity has been
brought In

rates where they benefit the labor and

Mr.. Spooner does not aim at the
trusts and neither does the president
The revision would not be based on the
question as to whether the product was
controlled by trust, but rather as to
whether the cost of production here
With the American scale of wages was
cheaper than that abroad.
Mr.. Spooner has heretofore advised
the president on this subject, and he
may be depended upon to present a
clear, vigorous and wholly aggressive
view of the wisdom of a declaration for
tariff revision along real profession
lines and without a flavor of free trade.

spooner Favor Positive Declaration.
New York, Sept 17.-President Roose-
Welt is seriously considering a new and
radical departure which will render
him more popular than ever, but which
at the same time is certain to arouse
She antagonism of certain vast in
terests.
The president is now considering the
ACCESSIBILITY OF a frank declaration on
his part, probably during his western
trip, in favor. of an immediate. but
friendly, prudent and painstakins re-
vision of the tariff.
The president has been advised to
take this step by some of the most ex-
perienced and devoted leaders of his
party. The presidents views are in
entire harmony With the idea of speedy
tariff revision, but he Is unwilling to
pledge the party to policy which can
not be carried out, owing to a lack of
harmony within party lines.
The president believes, 1T is said by
republican leaders who ought to know,
that the party should pledge itself at
once to revise and lower or abolish all
tariff schedules where the protection is
not needed for American WorFingmen
or where the tariff itself creates a
monopoly.
