has always been sufficiently strong TO
prevent action.

RAILROADS WIN.
Circuit Court Judge in California
Hands Down a Remarkable
Rate Decision.

San Francisco Dec. 1.-United
States Circuit Judge Morrow handed
down a decision in the case of the in
terstate commerce commission against
the South Pacific company, the receiv-
ers of the Union Pacific railway and
the Union Pacific railroad, in favor of
the railroads The point at issue was
to- declare unjust a rate ON sugar from
San Francisco to Kearney, Neb., as
compared With lower through rate
to Omaha. The court found the rate
established by the companies was not
unjust; that the commission has no
right TO legis!ate and that the Union
Pacific could not be bound by the or
der of the commission anyway, it not
being party to the original suit.

Washington, Dec. 1.President
Roosevelt arrived at 1902 a. III. from
ST. Louis. Several hundred people We're
gathered at the Pennsylvania railroad
station and gree. | the president with
cheers. The party Immediately entered
carriages and We're driven rapidly to
the White House.
The trip Of the president ended by his
safe arrival at the White House today,
was in some ways one of the most
notable he ever took. The arrange
ments for the comfort, convenience and
personal safety of the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt We're the most thorough
ever made. The trip from st. Louis to
Washington was without particular
note or incident. The president and
Mrs. Roosevelt rested quietly in their
car, spending the time in reading and
i'm conversation With members of the
party. Few stops We're made EN-
route. those being at division term!-
mails. Crowds assembled mt almost
every station, however, and cheered as
the train swept by. At points where
stops We're made the president invari-
ably appeared on the rear platform of
his car and addressed the crowds brief
~. The railroad arrangements for the
trip We're admirable. No delay was eX-
pericnced either in going to St. Louis
or in returning to Washington.

A NEW GRAFT.
Smooth Scheme Being Worked on Un-
wary From Spain.

LeMars, Ia, Dec. lone of the
smoothest and most ingenious attempts
to capture the money OF the unwary
is now being worked from Spain. Mr..
NJ. A. Moore of this city, a wealthy
lumberman has just received the last
of a series of letters. The first letter
purported 10 be from a prisoner In one
of the Spanish bastiles. The writer
claimed to be a Cuban patriot, captured
and carried to Spain during the Cuban
revolution. Before he was imprisoned
he had placed in a bank i'm London a
deposit of sl75,000. The certificate OF
this deposit leaves only his baggage.
At the time of his imprisonment his
baggage was put under an embargo for
costs Of prosecution. He claims to
be relative of MIR. Moore and to be
in very poor health. He had "a daugh-
ter who was in some kind of a home
in Spain. He wanted his American
relative to take charge of this daugh-
ter in case of his death and proposed
to will a portion of the S1T5000 to this
relative TO pay him for his trouble.
Shortly after this comes letter from
his confessor announcing his death. In
this letter is enclosed one from the
prisoner written in Il trembling hand
just before his death begging his
American relative to take charge of
his darling daughter. a week or two
latter comes copy of the will written
in Spanish with the priests transla-
ton. This viii leaves one-fourth of
his property to Mr.. Moore on condition
that he take charge of the daughter.
In the same letter comes the decree OF
the court entering Judgment against
the prisoners baggage for El32 (Eng-
lish money! for costs. Here is the milk

WALLACE's STRUGGLE
Author Fights OFF Death and Works

Charlottesville, Ind, Nov. 29.-Sustained
by an indomitable will, and confident in
his own powers of resistance General
Lew Wallace is fighting the inevitable
with such grim determination and cour-
age that the more optimistic of his friends
are beginning to believe that he may sur
vve after all.
Instead of preparing to die, he is pre-
pairing to live, and is mapping out a tour
which is to embrace Cuba, Porto Rico
and Panama, and he plans to make the
trip after the Christmas holidays. De-
spite his weakened condition, he continues
TO work on his memoirs and devotes two
or three days a week to that task. lie
does this without the aid of a stenographer
or an amanuens.s. c turns out clear
legible manuscript.
General Wallace powers of recuperation
have amazed his physicians. -Four days
ago he appeared to be in the shadow of
death, but his robust physique and vitality
kept him up.
His present ailment is acute Indigestion
Inability to assimilate his food has ema-
ciated and weakened him. and he is only
the ghost of his former vigorous self.
