mon carrier, receiving only free trans
p~ortation home for his services. II
this transportation is denied and the
stock is turned over to the common
carrier for shipment, they will be re-
quired to use due diligence in the de-
livery of the stock at destination in
good condition. This cannot be done
without the experienced shipper who
must be returned and paid for his
time, whereas the shipper asks only
that he and his necessary assistants
be returned to their homes in consid-
Grafton for the mutual service rem
dered.
I'VE know the return pass has been
abused, to the loss of railroads, but
such abuses have been less the fault
of the stock grower than others. We
do not countenance these frauds and
will heartily indorse any regulation
that will minimize or prevent them,
but the stockgrower and patrons OF
the road should not suffer for such
wrongs of others.
Require Close Attention.
"When you begin to ship cattle with
out competent attendants and repre-
sentatives of humane societies find
sheep piled up in one end of the car
and smothered, or young and weak
cattle down or trampled to death by
the stronger for want of a little at
tention by the proper mar at the
proper time, there is likely to be
trouble from another source. The
whole question is this: Such ship
ments require the close attention OF
the best men we can get; from a hui
name standpoint, the stock is entitled
to it, the laws governing common
carriers require it. The owner will
perform this service better than any
one and at the least possible cost.
He feels that he is entitled to it and
that it is a great injustice for the
railway companies to deny it.
W. feel sure that regulations can
be devised that will practically elm
mate the abuses of the privilege and
that under such restriction the inter
est of all parties, especially the com
mon carriers and the shippers, viii
| be best subserved by the restoration
of return trip transportation to the
livestock shippers and necessary at
tendants.
What Shippers Want.
"As a protection to both we woule
suggest that the shipper be compelled
to purchase a roundtrip ticket for The
attendant, the money paid for sait
ticket to be returned to the shipper
upon the attendant presenting him
self and receipt at the point Of orr
gin.
we therefore, respectfully reques
that in the interest of the %livestocl
shippers, as we'll as of the transports
ton companies, that the latter immfe
diately give notice that they will d
vorce the tonnage system when j
interferes with the proper dispatch o
livestock shipments. F.
"That freight rates from district
where they now seem to be exces
sive be readjusted at the earliest pos
sible time.
"That the order effective on Januar.
L, 1904, aprogating return transports
ton to bona fide livestock shipper
be rescinded and that such transpol
tation be issued under such restrl'
tons as will protect both transport;
ton companies and shippers.
'That railway companies agree t

than 20 miles per hour in time, Q

London, Jan. .20.-The Guild hall was
packed to suffocation yesterday TO hear
Joseph Chamberlain speak.
Mr., Chamberlain, who was accompa-
MED by his wife. received a great ova-
ton. He began by declaring that the
provincial centers of commerce Of the
United Kingdom had been heard from
in regard to his tariff proposals. but
the views of the citizens of LONDON
were not yet known. He desired to
ascertain how the city men felt on the
subject of his scheme before the open
ing of Parliament. but he regretted
that owing to its non-politicai charac-
ter the meeting would not have the op'
pCTJ Jy,,.i,:ss-.sf.--.ot If.sessy 10. p.
against him.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who said he be

the provinces would appeal equally lt

to reiterate his well known fiscal
views. He pointed out that while Lon

world. he doubted if that position
could be maintained if the ancient tis-
cal superstition was to be upheld. Be
fore it was TOO late. a lesson should be
learned from the fate of Venice, Hol-

greatness had vanished because they

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Service Pension Bill.

There has been introduced in Con
gress, in the Senate by Mr.. Doliver OF
Iowa and in the House by Mr.. Calder
head of Kansas q service pension bill
backed by the Grand Army of the Re
public, which, if enacted into law, will
give a pension of $12 a month to every
soldier who has served ninety days in
the Union army during the civil war
and who was honOrably discharged
therefrom, and who has attained the
age OF siXty-two years. A like pen
sion will be given to the widows OF
such soldiers in all cases where the
marriage took place before June ~,
1890.
The introduction of the bill is tho
result of the meeting in Washington
of the committee on pensions OF the
Grand Army. The committee had an
extended conference with the Presi-
dent during the day and later assured
them of his entire sympathy in their
undertaking. They also talked with
Pension Commissioner Ware about
their work.
The bill, it is explained, is not de-
signed to interfere with existing pen,
sion legislation and it provides in
terms that no soldier or widow receiv-
ing pension under its provisions shall
be entitled to pension under any
other law.
