Dispatches from Omaha state that the
Burlington has made a general cut in
grain rates, following the action of the
Great Western, which cut in the rate
from Omaha to Chicago on wheat from
II cents to l01a cents, and on corn from
II cents to 91a cents.
The Burlington has cut its rates
cents, making the rate from Omaha to
Chicago on wheat cents, and on corn
z cents.
These rates were also put on by the
Burlington:
Omaha to st. Paul cents on wheat,
8 cents on corn.
Omaha to st. Louis IS cents on
wheat, 4 cents on corn. r.
from Omaha to Kansas City and on
| west. ...r.s
It is stated~by the railroads that they
have been placed in bad position by
the excessive elevator charges. The
Burlington has been compelled to pay
| ~ cents at Council Bluffs and sim
liar fee at Chicago. Other roads got
points. The Burlington, therefore, in
making the new rates cut out all ele.
vator charges and makes the fiat freight
rate. Fl T.. III j. . -
Grain carriers had agreed to cancel
| one elevator charge by Aug. Is. On
/ that date the Great Western tariff ex
PRED. It had allowed elevator charges
at Omaha and Minneapolis of IN cents
each, or 21h cents. Other roads are said
to have Nallowed three charges, two al
Missouri river crossings and third al
unloading point Great Western off
cials say they have been unable to gel
their share Of the business because Of
the aggregate -3A cents allowance Of
\ competitors. Consequently they were
compelled to reduce their rate l u cent!
and reinstate the two allowances TO,
elevator charges, making a net rate o:
| 8 cents from Kansas City ande Oman;
to Chicago. and cents from Omaha tt
) Minneapolis.
It is anticipated that this cut in rate
will stimulate the movement of grail
and that quantities will be sent up TO-
shipment. It is bad time for tn
roads to make the cut, as the grea
grain movement Of the year is now jus
starting, and in few days will be il
full blast.
The cut is attributed partly to agita
tion by Kansas City and Omaha ele
vator men. Winter wheat has beer
moving actively in this direction, bu
now that spring wheat is being mar
keted that movement was likely to fall
off suddenly. The cut in rates is ex
pected to cause it to continue.

BOYCOTT WOULD

BUSINESS MEN NOT ALARMED AT
GOSSIP FROM CHINA.


i tsTalk and nothing but talk, is the
way Minneapolis Manufacturers and
jobbers interested in the Chinese trade
characterize the present Chinese talk Of
boycotting American goods. The bal
anee of. trade is strongly in favor Of
China, as shown by the government re-
ports, and so long!sas this is so, there
boycott. The Chinese merchant is not
in business for his health, and SO long
as he can sell more to the United States
than he buys from it he will not seri-
ously consider a boycott. s
The principal export to China from
Minneapolis is flour, but the. smallest
Eurcpea country more than doubles
the entire -four trade of the Chinese en-
pire. AS a business precaution, local
millers brought the subject to the at
tention of their trade connections on
the coast. Advices in return stated that
the boycott talk amounts to nothing
and is started by some interests having
IAN ak to grind It is generally be,
lieved, that reduction in duty on Chi.
nese imports is what is really wanted
tho the Chinese exclusion law is the
ostensible grievance. s

that the western representatives Of his
company have assured the home office
that there Is absolutely no cause fol
worry over the boycott talk.

and supported for a purpose other thai
| a boycott Of American goods
The government report of exports ani
imports for the year ending June 80
1904, shows that the United States ex
ported to the Chinese empire goods tt
the amount Of $12,862,202. The i'm
ports Of Chinese goods during the sam,
period were $29,342,2SS, over twice tn,
American exports. This being the cas-,
it is pointed out that there is little pos
sibility that Chinese business men will
seriously consider an American boycott
Retaliation on the part of the United
States would be sort Of sport not rel
ished by Chinese merchants. With tn,
same condition prevailing it would
however, be to the interest of the Chin
ese merchant to secure lower duty Of
his American exports. ,.'s-4
It is also the opinion of local bushes
men that the United States could bet

trade, which is really small part o
the nation s business, than to allow tn
barriers against Chinese immigration
be lifted. 81 ..:'s~#s. !

Believed He Met with Foul Play.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
EVANSVILLE. December Is, 1905.
A strong suspicion regarding the disap-
peararice of Mr. Charles r. Saeuberlick, the
truck gardener of Biadensburg. is that he
has been the victim of foul play. It is
known that the missing man attempted to
return a horse which he had purchased in
Washington last Monday and get his money
back, and. failing in this. that he traded
the horse for another animal He evidently,
however, changed his mind, for 1t b UNDER
stood that he tied the horse In an alley be-
tween 9th and 10th. D and z streets north
west, and since then nothing has been heard
of him.
Mrs. Saueberlick sent for Constable Thos.
n Garrison of Riverdaie yesterday. and the
latter il engaged on the case. 1t Is UNDER
stood that a reward of $1e0 has been of
fered for Information leading to the where
abouts OF the missing man. It was sup
posed that he went to visit relatives in yir-
ainia, where he lived for several years prior
to coming to Bladensburg, but telegram
sent there was answered by saying that Mr.
Saeuberlick had not been there. II Is stated
that he did not have more than 80 In cash
when he left his home Tuesday morning,
ana that an account at the bank is in tho
name Of his wife.

understood that these funds would not re-

the Chicago National Bank. Their I'M
pending withdrawal had much to do with
the fear of the other banks of a far-reach-
ing collapse IL they did not come to the aid
of the weakened institutions.
The enterprises which are generally cred
tied with being the indirect cause of the
financial troubles of Mr.. Walsh are the
Bedford Quarries Company of Indiana and
the Southern Indiana Railroad Company,
which was constructed by Mr.. Walsh for
the purpose of getting the stone from his
quarries to the market.
This railroad was built by Mr. Walsh at
a heavy expense some years ago. because
he believed the Monon railroad, which was
the only outlet of his stone quarries was
charging him too high rate OF freight
He endeavored to reach an agreement with
the. road. and. failing to obtain what he
considered satisfactory terms, constructed
q railroad of his own.
In addition to these two enterprises which
he practically owns, Mr.. Walsh Is a heavy
