since the United States is better able
to protect herself, adopting retaliatory
measures.
The tenn of the new Auzgleich has
been fixed at ten years, indicating that
the commercial treaties which will be
based on this new tariff agreement
Will be concluded for a like period.

misses Gil the part of both Austria and
Hungary. The two premiers wished

able to reach an agreement Emperor
Fancis Joseph, however, refused to
consent to this and insisted that the

TROUBLES OVER COLOR
Postmaster Was Compelled to Resign
Under Duress at indianola, Miss,
Since Which Time Place Has Not
Been Opened-Cuba and Venezuela
Also Discussed.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The feature
of the cabinet meeting yesterday was
the decision to close permanently the
postoftlce at Indianola, Miss, from
which the postmaster, Minnie NJ
Cox, colored, resigned under compul-
sion a few days ago, since which time
the office has been closed. The post
master general has had a thorough
investigation made and has become
stisfed that the woman was obliged
to resign under duress, in fact that
her life was endangered. Having
represented this state of affairs to the
cabinet, after long discussion, the
decision above noted was reached and
the office will not be re-opened until
the people there are ready to accept
this woman as postmaster. The re-
mainder of the meeting was consumed
in discussion Of foreign affairs, es-
pecially the conditions in Venezuela
Secretary Hay presented a statement
showing that no definite responses
were received from any of the allied
powers to Castro's last communica-
ton. 1t is evident further negotia-
lions will be required to bring the
parties to final agreement, but it is
not doubted this will succeed.
Cuba was the other subject which
engrossed the attention and there was
an anxious discussion of the prospects
of the pending Cuban reciprocity
treaty, the decision finally being
reached to press the treaty forward oil
the same lines toward ratification.
An official statement of the Indian
ola case was issued after the cabinet
meeting. This shows that Mrs. Min
ME Cox, colorel, was appointed post
master by President Harrison and re-
appointed by Mckinley, that her char
acter and standing in the community
were endorsed by the most reputable
people of the town; that her bonds
men include two leading democrats
and banker, that she has given the
utmost satisfaction as postmaster and
that her moral standing is of the
highest.
The postmaster recently forwarded
her resignation to take effect on Jan
uary /, but the report of the inspect
ors and information received from
various reputable white citizens OF
the town and neighborhood show that
the resignation was forced by a brutal
and lawless element purely upon the
ground of her coler and was obtained
under terror of threats. The mayor
Of the town and sheriff both told the
Inspector If she refused to resign they
could not be answerable for her safe
ty, although at the same time not one
word was said against her.
Responding to an inquiry of Mrs.
Cox's bondsmen regarding the accept
ance of her resignation, the president
directed that telegram be sent that
the resignation would not be accept
ed; that the Indianola postofllce would
be closed; that all mail for that place
would be sent to Greenville, and the
case referred to the attorney general.

COMPLAINT OF
UNJUST TARIFF

Washington, Jan. 3.-The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad is made
the defendant in a complaint filed
with the interstate commission by
Gilbert Barr of Kearney, Mo-, who al
leges the exaction of unreasonable
and unjust tariff on livestock. Barr
says that since October 4 last the rail
road compelled him to pay for the
transportation of livestock in carload
lots from Kearney to Chicago 231s
cents per 100 pounds, although a rea-
sonable charge is IL cents. The COM
plant charges that during the time
mentioned the defendant has had Ill
force rate of 231a cents applying up
on livestock originating at Kansas
City and shipped in carload lots to
Chicago, and another rate of IL cents
called proportional rate, applying
between Kansas City in the first in
stance, and upon which a through rate
from the originating point to Chicago
would not be less than 231A cents.
The complainant alleges that although
a IL cent rate Is published as proper
tional the defendant still allows ship
pers of ship live stock TO use 1t with
out reference to the origin of ship
ments and regardless of whether
rates had been paid thereon from the
points of origin to Kansas City, enlist
ing such shippers to a proportional
rate from Kansas City to Chicago. In
vestigation and reparation for charges
said to have been unlawfully collect
ed are asked.

FACTOR PLAN IN

New York, Jan. 3.-The so-called

will be done away with by the Ameri.
can Sugar Refining company today
and the national granulated will be
quoted at 4.65 cent 100 net for 80 days,
less l per cent for cash without re-
bate. The plan has been followed by
refiners for years. By it grocers re-
ceived protection to the extent of rs
cents per 100 pounds. The claim is
made that as grocers have not ad-
hered to the terms they made and
failed to sell by the terms this step
becomes necessary. Hereafter all
sales will be on the new cash basis.

HAD A PICNIC AND FUN
Merry Hunting Party Enjoys Day
of ArizOnan Sunshine

A picnic party went out to Glib
sons tank Tuesday. The obi bject
of the outing was to have good
time by all parties concerned in
general, but in particular, it was
gotten up by Mrs. Ben Snider to
entertain her guests, Miss Gwen
Hackney and Mrs. Patton. In or
der to be sure thai the camp was
protected, Frank Czarnowski and
Ben Snider were taken along. Mrs.
Czarnowski was alto a member of
the party.
Rifles were taken along and the
ladies enjoy ed a hunt. Miss Hack
ney killed coyote, and Mrs. Pat
ton killed a jack rabbit. The other
ladies were not behind in number,
but also brought down their part
of the game. The gentleman
claimed That they dld not try 10
kill anything, but gallantly gave
way to the ladies. But We have
discovered by inquiry that the gen
tlemen found it impossible to do
any damage to the game and gave
the guns to the ladies as a banter
after being jeered at by them for
their poor Workmanship. We do
not blame the gentlemen under the
circumstances.
We will venture that a good tine
was the result of the days outing
and We suppose thai the various
members of the party were well
pleased with other, for they all at
tended the big dance at Congress
that was given in honor of Mr..
Heese, who is going to spend
