the same kind of a mistake that was
made in this accident. Fortunately.
however, the damage there was slight
and outside of badly wrenched an
kle which the engineer on one of the
freights sustained, no one was in
jured.
When the trains pulled into Lari-
more, there was scene of wild con-
fusion. The railroaod men were all
angry at the dispatcher whom it is
thought was to blame for the accident
and could he have been found they
would have handled him roughly.
Every train that came in was left
standing in the yards, with a fireman
to prevent the engine from becoming
dead, and the men jumped from their
trains and refused to take them fur
Their. The trains kept coming in I'M
til the yards were completely blocked
and from early morning until some
time in the afternoon it was impossi-
BILE to get them moved. The men
were furious against the dispatcher
and were in an ugly mood. The men
on the light engine and caboose who
were not seriously injured, returned
to Larimore yesterday morning and
reached there about noon. The as
sistant superintendent finally assured
the men that If they would take their
trains and go out, justice would be
done and the blame placed where it
belonged. The men finally agreed to
take out their trains, ana the service
was resumed.
One of the peculiar incidents of the
accident was the fact that Fireman
Peterson on the light engine was COM
pletely buried in coal up to his neck
and only his head was visible. When
dug out he was not badly injured,
although stiff and sore.
The light engine was sent back
about five car lengths and was badly
damaged, while the heavy freight en-
CINE was smashed to pieces and can
never be used again in all probabili-
ty. The wrecked cars and all the
general wreckage have all been clear
ed away and carried off probably to
GAINESVILLE.

BURLINGTON IN THE BIG HORN
New Line wiz Tap Rich Country for
Omaha.

Omaha.
Wyoming is considerably worked up over
the filing of articles of incorporation by the
Big Horn Railroad company over the sig
nature Of George w. Holdrege, general
manager of the Burlington. This is taken
ns n definite conclusion on the part Of the
Bennington to build a line from Denver to
.le shoshone reservation to connect with
the Frannie- Worland line at point near
Shoshone. The amended articles say in
part;
The Big Horn Railroad company, in sd-
dttion to the powers set forth in its orig
fnal certificate of Incorporation, shall have
the power TO construct, maintain and oper-
the junction of the Big Horn river with
Muskrat river, in Fremont county, Wyom-
ing and running In southeasterly direc-
tion through the counties of Fremont,
Natrona, Sweetwater, Carbon and Albany
to a point on the Wyoming Colorado state
limo between the 106th and 10th meridians
OF west longitude.
The filing of these articles explains the
presence OF a large corp of engineers in the
neighborhood of Laramie. which town now
has an idea that 1t will be on the proposed
route. II is thought the road will run from
Lyons, the terminus OF the Burlington's
branch. north out of Denver, through Iari-
ME and from there down the Big Horn
FLYER to connect with the branch now being
built south from Frannie to Worland.
This will give the Burlington a splendid
line from the Yellowstone and Big Horn
country to Omaha, putting the Wind River
country within twenty-four hours of Omaha
and making n second trunk line to the
northwest. The Burlington is working on
exactly opposite lines from the Union Pa
ciflc. The Burlington has a regular net
work of feeders in Nebraska, while the
Union Pacific is practically big trunk line
with few feeders. The Burlington is work.

Grain from Nebraska is practically all
moving to the gulf at present because OF
the difference in freight rates between the
gulf and the Atlantic seaboard. The rate
on all roads except the wabash to the
east are II cents to Chicago, 11h cents
from Chicago to Baltomore and a charge
OF ~ cents for loading on the boats, max
ing total of "a cents against a rate of Is
cents to the gulf, which rate also includes
loading on the boats.
The Wabash has rate via Baltimore
and Hannibal OF % cents to New York. but
the local agents claim they are not taking
any grain for Baltimore on this rate or
even with the differential. The Wabash
had announced this rate would be pub
lished to the east, but this announcement
was followed by an announcement that the
rate would be withheld. pending the
meeting In New York last week. In spite
OF that announcement the rate was given
20 the Interstate Commerce commission
and is now the rate. Mr. Ives explained

The packers are taking advantage in the

the railroads to have the reduced rates
apply to all the products that they manu-
facture and to have the rates also apply

in the matter to date.

HOSTILITY TO AMERICANS.

tagonism has reached official circles.
director of education, by the viceroy of
Chilli province, for the reason that he
is an American, and the pressure for the
removal OF the commissioner of GUS
toms at Canton for the same reason, are
manifestations of unfriendliness toward
citizens of this country in China which
are we'll calculated to cause some ap-
prehension. 1t appears that Prof. Ten
ney has performed very valuable educa-
tional service, but this did not avail
against the opposition, on the ground of
his nationality, to his being retained in
the position.
The dispatch from Tekin which con-
veys this information also states that
the boycott agitation against American
goods Is being revived, indicating that
the efforts of the imperial government
to suppress the agitation have been
futile. The fact appears to be. as stated
In late report, that all China is at a
white heat of political discussion and
no one can foretell what the outcome
will be. That there is possible serious
trouble ahead seems clear. There may
soon arise urgent necessity for some
action by our government looking to the
protection of American citizens and in
terests in the Chinese empire.

The present so-caled 'fnsurrection,

Others are in It to crafty private grudges.
Indeed, It is positively known that some of

The bill for railway rate regulation
under consideration in the house of rep
resentatives is said to have the approval
OF the administration. 1t was unani-
mously approved by the house commit
tee on interstate and foreign commerce.
1t has received the Endorsement of all
the newspapers Of the country not UNI
friendly to the regulation of railway
rates as provided for in that measure.
The bill has met with little opposition
in the house and its passage there by
an overwhelming majority is assured.
There is still talk of a possible com
promise. The railroad senator's. it APP
pears, have not given up hope of being
able to secure modification of the
policy for which the administration
stands and which is embodied in the
Hepburn bill. They want a restriction
upon the authority of the interstate com
mission to correct a rate found to be
unreasonable by putting a judicial
check upon the action of the commits
sion That is, they desire that the rail
roads shall have the right to appeal to
the courts on the reasonableness of the
commissions orders, before such orders
can take effect.
Such an arrangement would not be
satisfactory to the public. 1t would be
a concession to the railroads that would
give them all the advantage and practi-
cally control of the situation. The pend
ing bill does not deprive the railroads
of recourse to the courts. II provides
that after an order has been made by
the commission that order shall go into
effect within thirty days from the time
the same has been served upon the af-
fected carrier. If at any time during
fed with the order, he can institute
proceedings in the district court of the
United States wherein the complaint
was made, and thereupon it becomes
the duty of the attorney general to serve
notice on that court that the case is
of great public importance, emitting 1t
TO consideration by the expedition court
The time thus given the railroads in
which to go TO the courts, If dissatisfied
with a rate order of the commission. is
ample, and it would be against the pub
lie interest to change it as the railroad
| advocates desire.
The policy of rate regulation embodied
in the bill before the house of repre-
sentatlves is the policy to which the
administration is committed and which
the great majority of the shippers of
the country want. There is the best
possible assurance that so far as the
president is concerned there will be no
compromise. Those who support his
position in congress may be depended
upon to firmly maintain their attitude.
The senate committee on interstate com
merce is yet to decide which of the sew
| eral bills before it shall be reported to
the senate. The indications are that the
advocates of the presidents policy will
control and that the senate measure will
resemble the house bill in all essential
| features.

CART BEFORE THE HORSE.

Self-styled statesmen Mt the state
with a debate on street corners and in
public prints as to the size of the sala-
ries which should be paid to members
of the State Board of Railway Commits
sioners to be elected this fall contingent
upon the adoption of the pending con-
stitutiOnal amendment providing for
state railway commission.
The amendment as formulated leaves
it to the legislature to fix the compensa-
ton of the commissioners. 1t is being
argued on one side that the service re-
quired will entitle members of the board
to liberal, If not lavish salaries ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year, and on
the other side that the legislature could
not In justice give the new officers more
money than the constitution awards to
other executive and judicial state Off
GERS, none of whom can get more than
81, 500 year out of the public treasury.
The discussion of salary for the state
railway commissioners at this time
savors decidedly of putting the cart be-
fore the horse. 1t all depends upon the
commissioners. If men should he Sc
lected for these positions Of capacity,
ability and integrity. who will devote
themselves earnestly and exclusively to
the interests Of the shippers and the
public generally they could make them
selves worth good. generous salaries.
II, on the other hand, we are to have
new set of railway commissioners on
the same order as the secretaries of the
old state board Of transportation, who
looked to the railroads rather than to
the people as their employers and con-
sidered il their function to act only as
buffer for the railroads against the
complaints and demands of the public
for redress and relief, they will not be
entitled to much of any reward out of
the taxpayers money.
If the game is only to give the rail
roads some additional employees at pub
ture to keep the bill down to the lowest
limit. If, on the other hand, the COM
mission is to be something and to do
something, the taxpayers of Nebraska
will not begrudge the cost, because they
will get it back many times over.
When we know who is to constitute
the membership of the new commission

| compensation they should have.

cial and commercial interests Of the
country, at least those Of = conservative
character, will with practical unanimity
concur in this view. Indeed there has
been very scant approval Of Secretary
Shaw and little of this from source
entitled to serious consideration. An
emergency currency" such as proposed
by the secretary Of the treasury would
not certainly accomplish the object he
had in mind and it would most likely
prove, as said by the report referred
to, a most hazardous experiment 1t
is perhaps the most Objectionable propo-
sition growing out of the demand for
a more elastic currency and is therefore
not likely ever to receive serious con-
sideration in congress.

that will test his fibre to the utmost. IL wiz
