Trials of a EIannan.


George Freeman. the gate man at the
Rock Island crossing on Douglas avenue
has a trying time. He not only has to
watch the two railroad tracks closely
to see II train is going 10 cross the
street, but he also has 10 watch the street
to prevent over anxious drivers from
running in front of an approaching train.
i have a great deal of trouble" said
Mr.. Freeman, with people who want to
cross the track after the gate is lowered
I tell many reckless drivers 10 stop. An
other class OF drivers are the fellows who
run behind train before l have the gate
on the opposite side OF the track raised.
A few days man attempted ia go
under the gate before it was raised and il
estruck him. II is not safe for people to
cross the track in rear of a train before
the gate is raised. for sometimes the train
stops suddenly and the cars go backward
three or four feet"

TO COMBAT BEEF COMBINE.
win Erect Plants and Sell Meat
In Different Places.

Topeka, Kan, April 22.-The Farm
ers' Grain association of Kansas,
which has operated against the grain
trust for the last year, proposes to
begin operations against the beef
trust. The plan, as outlined in a
statement issued to the 10000 mem
bers of the association by Secretary
James Butler, is similar to the plan
of the Grain Growers association.
1t is proposed to erect cooperative
ice houses, packing houses and cold
storage plans at every central point
in the state. The stock in the COM
panies will be held by the bankers,
farmers and laboring
men. The meat will be sold on the
local market, and all that is not con-
sumed there will be shipped to the
larger cities. This will save the
freight on the live stock to market
and freight on the meat which is
shipped back to the consumers.

LONG LEASES OPPOSED.
The Bowersock Bill for Disposition Of
Pasture Lands Will Not BE Report
ed at This Session.

Washington, April 22.-There will
De no legislation at this session Of
congress providing for the leasing Of
public lands for grazing purposes.
Mr.. Lacey, of Iowa, chairman of the
house committee on public lands,
stated that the committee would not
hold any further hearings on the
Bowersock bill and would not take
any action upon it or upon any other
grazing bill at the present session.
1t has developed that the interests
in the public lands are so conflict
ing that it will be impossible to pass
any bill that will be acceptable. Bing-
er Hermann, commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office, has ended the pros
poets of legislation by appearing be-
fore the committee and protesting
against the proposed leasing bill.
Commissioner Hermann asserts that
any grazing bill providing for long
time leases of the public lands will
retard homesteading and the settle
ment of the public domain.

Washington, April 22.-The senate

Monday afternoon to begin consid-
Grafton of the Cuban reciprocity bill

ent it looks as though Senator Platt

posed to report bill which would
disregard all of the work done in the

tive to the immigration and labor
laws, and simply authorize the presi-
dent of the United States to enter
into treaty with the new Cuban gov
eminent, when organized, which
would have for it's object concessions
on the part of this country amount
ing to 25 per cent. of the Dingley
rates. In the bill the proposition will
probably be put in the shape of an
authorization to collect IS per cent.

Earthquakes In Guatemala Swallow Up

Rumor of 500 Deaths.

Guatemala City, April 22.-The
three earthquakes Friday night re-

second city of Importance in Guate-
mala, with $4,000 inhabitants, and
completely destroyed the town of Am

1t is reported that 500 persons were
killed in Quesaltenango, but the ru-

loss of life cannot now be ascertained.

A STEAMSHIP TRUST.
al the Great Transatlantic Liner
Controlled by ]. P. Morgan.
La to Be AN American Pool with tho Cons
trolling Interest In New York
Capital Will BE $780,
600. 900,

New York, April 21.-J..P Morgan,
who is now abroad, has practically
eonsummated a plan to combine all
the leading transatlantic steamship
lines. London dispatches to the Asso-
eiated press announcing the combina-
ton were confirmed at the Morgan
banking house. The companies to be
con. olidated will, it is understood, in
clude the American and Red Star
Inns, White Star line, Dominion line,
Alta ntic Transport line and the Ley
lard line. Probable additions to this
list are the Cunard, Wilson and Hol-
understood that working agree
ment" will be reached with the other
lending transatlantic companies.
Mr.. Morgan has given the matter
much of his time since his arrival on
the other side. 1t is too early yet
to give the exact scope of the scheme,
but as now outlined there will be an
American holding company into which
all the steamship companies which
propose to enter the combination will
put their stock holdings-"pool their
issues"-in exactly the same way that
the various concerns embraced in the
United States Steel corporation threw
In their holdings, receiving in return
stock of the main parent company.
Just what the capitalization of the
company will be is not yet known
but the amount is likely to be well
IN excess of $15O,OOO,OO0. This phase
of the project will depend entirely
upon the number of steamships taken
INTO the combination.

FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE.
Steamer on the Ohio River Near Cairo
Burned and Only Half of tho $50
Passengers Were Saved.

Cairo, ILL.,, April 21.-One of the
worst disasters in the history of river
navigation occurred shortly before
four o'clock yesterday morning near
Ogden's landing, near this city.
While almost all aboard were asleep
the steamer City of Pittsburg was
discovered on fire and in a few mo-
.ments was burned to the waters
edge. The loss of over $4,000 on the
steamer does not include the cargo,
both being a total loss. The latest
estimates are that there were $50
persons on board and that no more
than half of them were saved, many
of the latter being burned or injured
