ALLEGED FREIGHT REBATES.
Contempt Proceedings Filed Against
half Dozen Roads

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, August 19.-Con-
tempt proceedings charging violation of the
order OF District Judge John +. Phillips,
issued In March, 1902, restraining the de-
PENDANTS from giving rebates in violation
OF the interstate commerce law were filed
here today in the United States district
court against the Chicago and Alton, the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy, the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Chicago Rock Island and
racine and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railway companies. These companies
arc charged with giving rebates In viola
ton OF the restraining order and the court
is asked to cite them for contempt.
The contempt proceedings allege specif1-
cally in the case of the Chic go and Alton
that that company granted rebates amount
Ing to many thousands of dollars on the
shipments of agricultural and farming
machinery TO the International Harvester
Company, which owns and controls the
Deering Harvester Company, the McCor-
mick Harvester Company and the Illinois
Northern Railroad Company"
1t is alleged that the Chicago and Alton
agreed with the Illinois and Northern Rail-
way Company 10 file with the Interstate
commerce commission pretended joint
tariffs Of freight rates effective from Chi
cago TO Missouri river points, for the ex-
press purpose of evading the restraining
order, and that the Alton agreed and did in
fact give to the International Harvester
Company % per cent of said pretended
joint tariff rates.
The proceedings against the Burlington
railroad are practically identical with those
against the Alton.
The proceedings against the Missouri
Pacihs the Rock Island and the Santa
Fe railroads alleged that in like manner
these companies violated the restraining
order by giving rebates to the Hutchinson
Kansas Salt Company in coiusion with the
Hutchinson and Arkansas River Railroad
which latter company is controlled and
operated by the salt company.
These railroad companies are alleged to
have given the salt company % per cent
of a pretended joint tariff rate upon salt
routed to points on the Missouri river.
The proceedings were filed by A. S. Van
Valkenburgh, United States district at
torney for the western district of Missouri
at the instigation of NJ. D. Purdy, assistant
attorney general of the United States.

on the day following the Cleveland agree
ment the structural iron workers came
out with the statement that they had won
the victory and they had secured every
thing asked for. They promised the com
pany at this time that work in Ohio would
go on without any interruption, but not
withstandng all this they went out on a
strike within less than six weeks after
making the agreement
The direct cause of the present strike
is that the Boston bridge works is erect

ploying non-unon labor The union has
attempted to unioniZe the Boston forces
without success and in order to bring great
err pressure to bear strike has been called

workers demands as follows:
The American Bridge Company shall
sublet no erection to any concern that will
not make q satisfactory agreement with

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, August 19.-R. G.
Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade for
Baltimore. issued today, is follows:
"A large number of out-of- town buyers
are now on the market and are placing
liberal orders for fall goods. They report
conditions in the south generally favora BILE
and collections good. Clothing manufac-
tuners are finishing up first orders, prepar-
Ing for Implications and getting out lines of
spring samples. The volume of business to
date has been considerably ahead of last
years, and the prospects for the winter
season are unusually bright. Current bust
ness in dry goods is of large proportions
and indications point to an exceptionally
pl ofitable trade for the winter. While the
millinery season has not yet fully opened,
substantial orders are being placed, and
Jotbing houses report prospects good.
Trade in leaf tobacco continues dull and
no Improvement is looked for until cold
ather sets in. Collections are unchanged
ana prices firm. The fall season in harness
has not yet opened, and current business is
of small proportions, though values are
higher, owing to increased cost of material
and collections are fair Jobbing trade In
paper and stationery Is brisk with good
collections, though prices are unsteady with
downward tendency and some cutting Is
noted.
Wholesale dealers in drugs and chem
1cals report decided Improvement in both
local and out-of-tOwn trade, and collections
are unusually good. The lumber trade is
experiencing a boom, there being a ready
demand for all grades, with values unpre-
cedentedly high and still advancing Col
lections are prompt and the trade outlook
bright"

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
CONCERNING FATAL ACCIDENT
ON ATLANTIC COAST LINE.

NORFOLK, Va, August 19-GeneraI
Superintendent Anderson OF the Atlantic
Coast Line has issued the following official
statement concerning the wreck:
an view Of the comments made both by
the newspaper correspondents and many
Of the newspapers editorially, we think the
public should know just what is done by the
Atlantic Coast Line to avoid accidents of
this character.
Our book of rules, which Is standard to
nine-tenths of the great railroads of the
country, provides:
Trains must stop within three hundred
900 feet Of all draw bridges
In addition to this, current time
table, which contains number of special
rules and Instructions, with reference to
draw bridges, railroad crossings, etc, has
the following:
"'All trains will come to a full stop at
all draw bridges
Extra Danger Precautions.
"In addition to these positive instructions,
we have a white sign post about eight feet
high-which is about the height of an en-
CINE cab-with a cross board about five feet
in length, on which is painted. in black
letters four and six inches high: Half
mile to draw bridge crossing
I'm addition to this we have three hun
dred feet from the draw bridge sign post
on the cross board of which is painted, in
black letters eight inches in height the
word, Stop.
While l believe that any fair mind will
agree that the above should make an acct
dent practically impossible, still we have
not stopped at this, but require our bridge
tender-as was done IN this case--to set a
red flag in the end of the track next 10
the draw while the draw is open A red
flag means Danger and before such point
can be passed the bridge Waterman must
remove the flag and give the train signal
to go ahead. No other kind of flag is ever
used in this way, and therefore its char
acter and purpose could admit of no doubt.
The bridge Waterman and his assistant
We're on the open draw, which they had
just turned, and through which a tug pull
Ing some long RATS passing.
Our main line approaching this draw is
practically level and perfectly straight for
more than mile. How such an accident
could have occurred under conditions as
recited above, and not one of which adj
mits OF the slightest question, is beyond
our comprehension.

RECEIVED IT QUIETLY
No Special Manifestation by
Russian Public
OVER THE MANIFESTO
PROMULGATING A NATIONAL AS
sEMBLY FOR RUSSIA.
Outline of New Institution Too Broad
and Complex for Comprehension
on First Survey.
OVER THE MANIFESTO

ST. PETERSBURG, August 19.-The en-
peror's gift of popular representation was
received quietly and without special mani
festation by the undemonstrative Russian
public. A stranger in st. Petersburg would
only have noticed that the crowds in the
streets were carefully reading in the news
papers the long columns of the manifesto
and the details of the project as they
walked home from church.
The newspapers, which published the fuli
text of the manifesto and the project as
well as tables fixing the number of repre-
ser tatives, had little room for comment
Except among the extreme radicals, who
had made up their minds in advance to be
dissatisfied. and in the reactionist camp and
among others of extreme views, who be-
lieve the emperor has surrendered far 100
much in creating an assembly, public opin-
ion is slow to crystalline, as the outl mes OF
the new institution are too broad and too
complex TO be grasped and understood on d
first survey. but the indications that
thu project will be popular.
The manifesto had an extremely good ef-
feet, as the revolutionists and other agitat-
ors had been declaring that the emperor
had no intention of carrying out the prom
lsed reforms
Poland an Exception.
The principal comment heard today con-
cerned the omission of Poland from the
electoral scheme. but it was explained that
this owing to the differences In local
orga ton which the scheme of suf-
frage rests. The emperor has intrusted the
elo boration of measures to supply the de-
flcency In this and other provinces of the
empire where the system of local organiza-
ton is irregular to a special commission I'M
der Count SolSky of the committee of min
listers with instructions to have report
ready in time to permit the participation OF
all parts of the empire in the first cleo
tons.
