The great weakness of the conserva-

fact that there IS almost no substan-

Joined against dangerous social indus

wretched agricultural peasantry, with
no chance to get the true value of the

disconnected industrial proletariat of
the whole north. These elements

RATES ON LIVE
STOCK DEBATED
Cattle Shippers Meet With
Railroad Men and Discuss
Methods of Transportation

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-An important
meeting was held here to-day between
a committee representing the National
Livestock Association and the freight
traffic managers of railway lines CEN
tering in Chicago. The members of
the livestock association have been for
some time opposed to the application
of the tonnage system in the method
of transporting livestock, the opposition
being made on the ground that the
system reduced the running time Of
trains and thereby caused heavy
shrinkage in the weight and value of
animals. The livestock association
also asked that the return pass Drivi-
lege be restored to bona fde shippers
and that there be a readjustment of
freight rates.
The meeting was exceedingly har-
monious During the discussion the
traffic managers conceded that the live
stock service during the past year had
not been satisfactory, and that repre-
sentations made by the stockmen would
be Immediately taken up. with assur-
anee that there would speedily be a
satisfactory adjustment. All transpor-
tation lines running south and west
were represented.

VICTORY WON
OVER A TRUST
United States Circuit Court
Decides Suit in Favor of
Lowry & DAILY, Tile Dealers

For the third time in the last six
years the firm of Lowry & Daily, tile,
mantel and CRATE dealers in this city.
has been awarded a decision over the
firm of w w. Montague and others.
The last decision was given Wednes-
day at Washington, d. c., in the Cir
cult Court Of Appeals.
In 1897 Lowry & DAILY brought
suit against Montague and the Tile,
Mantel and Crate Association on the
ground that it was nothing more or
less than a trust. They further stated
that the association had injured their
trade to a great extent and that ac-
Sherman act the association was un-
lawful.
The Sherman act, which was passed
IN 1890, provides that associations of
the kind are unlawful and that any
person bringing suit against such an
association and proving his case be
given three times the amount shown
TO have been lost, also the expenses
Of the suit and lawyers fees
Lowry & Daily were awarded $4,000
damages and $3.50 to cover lawyers
fees. The defendants claimed that
$3.50 was out of reason and the case
was carried to the Circuit Court of APP
peals at Washington.
DAILY stated yesterday afternoon that
the amount his firm will be given will
approximate $4,000, while the expenses
Of che suit will be about $4,000.

Two Robbers Are Held for Trial Before Superior Cour,

Clemency-Burglar With Bad Name Must Answer

Joseph Joyce makes a living by
screwing up brakes with a baseball
bat on the Southern Pacific freight
trains. When he recreates he walks.
During one of his recreation periods
he took a passear up Fourth street in
the direction of Market. From Town
send-street depot to Market street lie
many joints where steam beer is
vended.
Joyce fell to them severalIy and col
lectively. BY the time he reached
Mission street he was in an adipose
condition. Two men saw him and
he looked good to them. They took
hold .of him by the two wings and
delved deeply into his clothes. Alto
gether Joyce lost $40 80. When he
discovered that he was robbed he
made an outcry and Policeman Culli-
name arrested George Garam and
Frank Carroll.
Both defendants were before Judge
Cabaniss yesterday and were arraign-
ed and instructed. When they were
searched at the City Prison Wednes-
day night Garam had $40 gold piece
deftly hidden in his underclothes and
Carroll held in his vest pocket the
missing go cents that Joyce alleges
was his property.
Hugh McCaffery is an apostle of

found the room of E. P. Woods with
a swinging portal unbarred by latch
he entered. The room was at 716h
Folsom street and the sleeper awoke.
McCaffery was willing to plead to
most any old charge when he appear
ed before Judge Conlan yesterday. He
said he was drunk when he opened the
door of Woods room and all ne want
ed was to lie down and go to the big
rest. All larcenous intentions were
foreign to his mind.
When he appeared in court yester-
day he told such a straight story that
he was dismissed. Woods, who sum-
moned a policeman during the inva-
sion by McCaffery, was unwilling to
testify to the burglary charge which
he first preferred.

PRESIDENT DIAz
FORCES A TRUCE
Mexico's Executive Compels
Warning Steyedores to
Load Acapulco's Freight

The steamship Acapulco. which ar
rived yesterday from Panama and way
ports, had a lively experience at Aca-
pulco on her way up the coast. When
she reached the Mexican port a bitter
war was being waged between two
rival shipping companies on the water
front and the handling of all outward
bound freight had been stopped.
Awaiting shipment on the Acapulco
was a large quantity of freight, includ-
ing 10000 bags of coffee. While one of
the launch companies was preparing to
transfer the coffee, the other, which
owns the wharf, refused to permit its
rival to use the structure and take the
freight to the vessel.
CAPTAIN Russell, after waiting sew
eral hours for an adjustment of the ex-
listing difficulties and making futile ef-
forts to have his freight excluded from
the ban placed on all freight on the
wharves, went ashore and telegraphed
to President Diaz a statement of the
condition of affairs at that port and
politely requested the Government to
devise some means for facilitating the
transfer of the freight. An hour later
a dispatch came back that Captain
Russell need not worry further; that
the President was preparing to take
necessary steps to shorten the delay of
the Acapulco. Hardly had this mes
sage reached Captain Russell before ne
was visited by a representative of the
Government, who stated that he was
authorized to assist the captain in
every possible way, and assured him
that President DiaZ had already COM
municated to the warning companies
Instructions to Immediately remove the
Acapuleos freight from the wharf to
the vessel under penalty of being i'm
prisoned and forfeiting their conces-
sionS in the harbor.
There was some show of defiance to
the Presidents message at first, but
when several Government officials dp
peared on the scene and gave out the
information that Diaz had wired them
to call on the military if 1t was found
necessary to promptly execute his
commands the rival shipping forces
quickly turned their attention to the
Acapulcos freight and hurriedly trans
ferred it to the vessel, which finally
proceeded on her northern voyage after
half a days delay.
Just before the Acapulco sailed Pres
ident Diaz sent word to Captain Rus
sell that he deeply regretted the dis
courtesy shown him in a Mexican port,
but. assured the commander of the Aoa-
pulco that the incident would not be
repeated and that in no circumstance
would the Government permit any in
terruptfon to the commercial relations
between that country and the United
States.
When the Acapulco left Panama all
was quiet and the United States fleet
was busily engaged in the bay of
Chame at target practice. The work Of
the gunners was remarkably good, and
particularly those of the New York,
which was reported to have made a
great record at the targets.
