KEEP AFTER sTreKNEY.
Railroads Bound to Make Trouble on
Omaha Rate Deal.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 20.-President
Stickney of the Chicago Great Western
railway is likely to be confronted with
a proposition he did not consider when
he made the low proportional grain
rate from Omaha to the twin cities, and
announces that he would make the
same rate to Chicago as soon as his line
to Chicago was completed. The Bur-
Iington and Northwestern met the rate
of the Great Western, but it is said
that they are considering ways to pro-
tect the long and short haul and at the
same time balk President Stickney's
plan for getting business east of Oma-
ha.
The intention is to raise the local
rates west of the Missouri river, while
maintaining the through rate, making
| it the same the Great Western. Traf-
fic officials of the Chicago Great West
ern are not worried over the proposed
action of the other roads. They sug-
gest that such things as maximum
| freight rate bills are not unknown
quantities in Nebraska, and that the
surest way to excite hostile legislation
in that state would be to adopt such
methods.
President Stickney proposes, if hard
pushed, to build a line of his own
! through Nebraska to Colorado points.
and the other roads are not likely to
take any measures to invite such &C
| ton.

lively for wheat and corn to Omaha.
The Rock Island applies the rate also
to shipments from towns whose rate IS
ten cents and six cents on wheat and
corn Under the new rate the Rock
Island secures an advantage on through
shipments to eastern and northern grain
markets.

Chicago, Nov. 2o-A secret cut-throat
policy with regard to steamship bust
ness is charged to be going on in Chi

roads, made two years ago, that there
was to be cessation of such antagon-
ism. Certain lines which allege they

openly claim they have evidence to show
that certain eastern railroads are pay

RECORD BIG MORTGAGE.
1t Is Filed by the Kansas City q
OIathe Electric Line.

Olathe, Kan, Nov. 20.--The Kansas City
and Olathe electric road filed a mortgage
with the register of deeds of this county
for $4,000, Covering its line from Kansas
City to Olathe. The Fidelity Trust COM
pany of Chicago is the mortgagee The
road has encountered g. serious obstacle
in this city by the city council last nigae
refusing to extend it's franchise, which
expired recently for the completion OF
its line. The action of the city COUNCIL
was inspired by the company locating Its
power house at Lackman, instead or IN
this city.
Concessions were asked OF the council
a few weeks ago, but nothing was offer
ed. Thereupon William Lackman donated
five acres of land and $500 and got the
newer house location. This city has now
retaliated hoping thereby to force the
company to build here with a small wa
ter charge for five years. just what ac-
ton will be taken has not been deter
mined by the officers of the road. No one
believes however, that the company win
sion at Jackman but that some terms
will be made for right OF way into thus
city at an early date.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-Diversion of the
grain business from Missouri river and
KANSAS territory to the gulf ports
threatens serious trouble between the
roads leading to the gulf and those
running to the Atlantic seaboard.
Not only are the gulf roads allowed a
large differential but they are also ac-
cused of manipulating the rates which
give them such advantage over the east
bound lines that the latter find it all
most impossible to secure any grain
traffic from Missouri river points. Sew
eral meetings have been held here for
the purpose of bringing about an agree
ment, but the roads running to the gulf
are not inclined to make any conces-
sfons They have a large advantage in
mileage and can afford to haul the bust
ness at rates which the east bound lines
cannot touch. The trend of the export
business from those points, they say,
naturally is to the gulf.
A demand was made by the Chicago
& Alton at enc of the meetings this
week that the differential rate of
cents enjoyed by the gulf roads for
some time be reduced to 3 cents a 100
pounds. The gulf lines contend that
there is no reason why they should ac-
cept the proposition. Even if they were
generous enough to make such a. con-
cession, the business. they contend,
would not go to the Atlantic seaboard,
because the rate from interior points
in Kansas would have to be added to
the through rate from Kansas City.
An official of one of the lines from the
Missouri river to the gulf produced fig
ures to prove that under the most ia
vorable circumstances the rate to the
gulf would be IS cents lower from
Wichita, Kan, and other interior Kan
sas points than the rate from Kansas
Kansas City to the Atlantic seaboard.
There is no doubt that an immense
quantity of Kansas wheat is being sent
this year to Galveston fro shipment. A
Kansas wheat man who lives in Topeka
stated a few days ago that he was soon
to ship a number of car loads to Gal
weston, where it is being stored for ex-
port. He stated that a good many peo-
pie had not .tnmbIedn TO the fact that

A rufnor circulated for some uneX-

Drill hole No. 8 on the Brunswick
lode was down $50 feet at noon today

The sample was taken from a short

senting the borings of the first ten feet
after the quartz body was entered by
the drill.

THE COAL KINGS EVIDENCE.
kndeavor to Show That Much Time is Lost
Through Miners Fault.
(By the Associated Press

Philadelphia Pa, Jan. 12.-The pro-
ceedlngs before the Anthracite Coal
Strike Commission today consisted prin-
cipally of the calling Of witnesses by
the Delaware and Hudson Company to
tell Of the conditions existing in and
about it's collierics and to refute certain
testimony presented against the company
when the miners side was being heard
The first witness today was Abel l.
Culver, of New York, comptroller of the
Delaware and Hudson Company. Mr.. Gull
yer said that the Delaware and Hudson
Company was selling coal to middle men
at tidewater at five dollars a ton for
prepared sizes. He did not know what
prices the middle men We're receiving
from the public beyond what he read in
the daily newspapers. George Ander-
son, of Scranton, q clerk in the coal de-
partment of the company presented a
statement showing that the twenty-eight
collieries of the companies lost 368 ten
hour days in 1901 for which employees
were responsible. OF these 115 were lost
on account of picnics and other holidays
mot including legal holidays: fifty
nine days on account of Mitchell Day"
and other union days, and 1914 days on
account of the strike and suspensions.
Aanother statement offered by the wit
ness showed that since the strike ended
in the latter part OF October, the twenty
eight collieries lost 10 days, reducing
the coal production of the company 3d.,
600 tons.
William H. Dettrey, of Nuremburg, the
newly elected president of district No.
Of the miners union, against whom it
was testified last week that he said
non union men should have their threats
cut or should receive a good humping"
