OF BENEFIT TO EMIGRANTs.
Santa Fe Announces One Third Reduc

ton on Household Goods Rate.
A radical reduction in freight on
household goods between Denver and
California common points was an.
nounced at the Santa Fe Offices. says
the Topeka State Journal II is un-
derstood that all OF the roads will
adopt the same schedule. The rate
has been reduced from 50 per 100
pounds to 81 per 100 The change
goes into effect at once. A great mnay
years ago a rate OF $3.50 per 100 was in
effect on all Of the western roads, but
by agreement this was raised to So.
where II has remained ever since. The
reduction to 81 is understood to be due
to the large quantities OF household
goods the railroads have been called
upon to handle during the past few
years. The increased immigration into
California from the east during the
past few years has more than trebled
and this has enabled the roads to han.
die large quantities of this class of
freight at lower cost.

The committee will have the cele-
brated San Juan hill fight reproduced
on the night of the Fourth, and it is ex-
pected that it will eclipse any spectac-
ular event ever Witnessed in the south
west. The attack on the block house
on the San Juan hill during the Cuban
war, the fight of the Spaniards and
the blowing up of the block house will
be the real things. Some of the men
who will take the leading parts were
in the fight, while serving under the
Stars and Stripes. The battle will be
in full view of the grand stand and far
enough away 10 prevent any accident
to spectators.
Colonel Borradaile has been tender
ed and has accepted the position of
having charge of the attacking forces.
All of the subcommittee reported
things as going along nicely.
The local dealers in fire works who
ordered the goods for the Central La
Dor union this morning received a dis
patch stating that in order to insure
the arrival of the goods in this city on

them by express. This adds considera-
BILE to the expense, but they must be
had ana so word was wired back TO
do so. There will be several new feat
ures in the fire works line, besides the
usual set pieces, bombs, rockets, can.

fire works were on the road, the bill of
lading having already arrived. This is

freight depots of the st. Louis & San
Francisco railway, and the Burling.
ton & Rock Island systems, went out
this afternoon because the companies
refuse to grant their demands for an
increase in wages of nearly 25 per
cent. This makes a total of 600 men
now out, the Santa Fe men having
struck on Monday. The demands of
the men were made before the recent
flood rendered all work in the yards
here impossible. They were present
ed to the various railroads again today
and promptly refused. Other roads
may be effected. The railroads had
anticipated the strike and had several
men on hand to take the places of the
strikers.
The forces at the various depots
were entirely inadequate, however.
