WHEAT RATE REDUCED.
Western Roads Equalize Freight Rates
on Wheat and Flour for Export.

Kansas City, July 26.-The Journal says:
Ine wheat rate from Kansas City to the
Mississippi river and Chicago will break
&c on next Saturday. Some of the roads
rallied to get their notices of reduction
MED with the Interstate commerce COM
mission yesterday and will not put the
reduction into effect until Monday, be-
cause of the three days notice required
py law All of the lines give notice that
the rates will expire August 26, two days
before the new rate law goes into eff
feet.
These reductions were made at the close
OF a meeting of executive officers of in
terested roads in Chicago yesterday The
meeting ended in a row and the execu-
tlves fell over each other in rushing to
the telegraph offices in order to notify
The reduced rates.
The break comes as a result of the de-
mand OF the Kansas City wheat export
ers that wheat rates for export be equal
lied with the low flour rates which have
Deen IN effect for some time on export
shipments. The trouble started when the
Chicago Great Western contracted to
move a big lot of flour at s cents to Chit
cago instead of at q 12-cent tariff which
had previously applied. The other roads
met the cut, but confined the rate to ex-
port flour.
Wheat exporters petitioned for an equal
lzatlOn OF rates with flour, cOntending
Lley were unable TO sell wheat in the ex-
PofI markets IN competition with flour
at the rates applying on the latter. An
open meeting was held on the board of
trade and the transportation department
OF the board instructed to adopt measures
TO secure a reduction in wheat rates. the
understanding being that legal action was
to be taken if necessary
The western roads called a meeting for
chicago to consider the matter, and fail
ing to agree. the lines began taking indi-
VIdual action, with the result that most
OF them had made announcement of the
reductions yesterday It is expected the
others will follow today.
The reduced rates will apply on domes-
products for both export and domestic
trade, the shippers thus gaining more
than they had contended for
The notices of the reductions came too
late to affect the wheat market yester-
day, although many traders bought on ex-
pectations of a break. The reduction
amounts to 4-10 cents a bushel on wheat
and the market is expected to advance
today in sympathy with it unless Offset
by other beariSh conditions

ANOTHER BLIND BEGGAR.
Colony Now Enjoying Topeka Claim Is
Augmented wednesday.

Two more beggars arrived in the
city Wednesday, It is beginning to
look as if there might be a convention
of them coming on the instalTment
plan. This new delegation claims to
hail from Leavenworth- The outfit
consists of a man, woman and a tin
cup. Their assets are one game foot
and one crutch for the woman and
blindness for the man. They say that
they We're unaware how popular To-
peka had suddenly become as a sum

JudgeTelIs Auditor of American sugar
Company What He Must Do.


New York. July 26.=That the
United States grand jury in investigat-
ing western trunk line railways sus-
pected of having granted rebates to
the American Sugar Refining company

taken before Judge Hough in the
United States circuit court as a recall
citrant witness before the grand jury.
The foreman of the grand jury re-
ported to the court that Mr. Foster

ments demanded of him. Mr. Foster
said that he had not refused to pro-
duce the data. He said that he had
not the physical possession of all books
and papers in question except as gen.
eral auditor of the corporation A
portion of them, he said, We're in the
safe of the company's president. He
could only temporarily produce the
books and papers. he contended, and
would provided he was assured that
they would be given back to him at
the end of the days session that he
might return them to the officials who
had their proper custody.
Judge Hough gave Mr.. Foster until
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to
comply with the grand jury's instruc-
tons.
Unless the papers are Forthcoming
the judge informed Mr. Foster that he
would consider an application to pun
ish him both as a recalcitrant witness
and for contempt of court.

deals with all parts of the world BUT
the ports that do business with Amer
lea are the ports that are biggest and
best. Germany is great big pros
porous nation filling up a lot OF cen
tra1 Europe but with only a little
stretch of coast along the North sea.
Consequently the German emperor
throws everything he can to Hamburg
and the smaller ports, so that they
VIII be strong and prosperous. As
singular fact the other important port,
Bremen, is just like Hamburg, a self
governing, Independent city for cen
turtles. There is no current in the
river Elbe, only the tide, and the har-
north Germany by canals. 1t is a
good deal like Holland, and the adj
vantage of cheap wafer Transporta-
ton to the interior and to the mar
kets of the world is enjoyed with
only one change of carriage that at
tide water in Hamburg. with a few
exceptions all of the great cities of
the world have been built up on water
transportation Steam and electricity
may work change, but water trans
portation means cheap freight rates,
ana It was never more a fact than
now that the freight rate makes a
city rather than location or climate.
There was a big fire in Hamburg so
years ago which DESTROYED most of the
town Consequently Hamburg has the
appearance of a modern city, and loses
the charm that comes from antiquity
and popularity. The big boom has
come in the last quarter of a century
and therefore the business blocks are
about like those in New York only the
government forbids skyscrapers and
conapels better construction and hand
some architecture. Here and there are
buildings which escaped the fire and
the march of progress, but most of
Hamburg would be a credit to a good
American city like Chicago or Hutchin-
son. In the harbor district canals run
this way and that way from the river
so that boats are unloaded into ware
houses like boxcars are from side
tracks The general effect is that of the
elevators and warehouses being built
into the river when in fact the river
has been built in among the buildings
Harbor towns are always busy and
noisy for it takes lots of labor and
many words of command and encour-
agement Gnild) to load and unload
ships. Sailors who have had no oppor-
tunity to spend money on their Voy
ages endeavor to blow in their wages
quickly and that makes excitement.
There are 1901 900 people in Hamburg
and they come nearer to striking the
American gait than those of any other
European city have visited. The
bourse, or board of trade, has 5000
membe and is said to resemble a luna
tic asylum as much as does the board
in Chicago.

Landing in a foreign country is al
ways an interesting operation and TO
anyone who is prone to worry it is
sometimes exasperating. We left our

with the band playing and the cooks

is the deep water port at the mouth OF
the Elbe river and as far as the loaded

Of course this kind of a city is not
long on cathedrals or art galleries. Most
European cities have at some time in
their history established great collec-
tions of art and built cathedrals whose
spires should be higher than those of ca
thedrals in neighboring cities. But
Hamburg has not gone in for supremacy

Is a large wine cellar and restaurant in
the basement of that. I wonder what
kind of a graft" the city council gets
out of the wine cellar2 But I am in
Germany now and a public place with

There is a pretty part of town, a large
rectangle which includes q natural lake
nearly a mile long. Around the lake
are avenues with double rows of trees
and on the avenues face handsome hotels
and stores. There are public gardens
and promenades, and on the lake little
steam boats ply back and forth like
street cars. In the evening with bril-
liant illumination the scene is beautiful
and everybody in Hamburg that is any
body have their evenings evening on
the wharves and in the dance halls on
the river, a half mile away. The lake,
called the sBinnen Alster,'' narrows like
the neck of a bottle as it goes out of
larges into another and larger lake
around which are beautiful homes and
country residences.
And such is Hamburg. On the river

just as bad. ". Y. MORGAN.

THEIR EYES WERE OPEN.

At a gathering of Republicans there
was a small boy who had four kittens,
trying to sell them. He announced
that they were Republican kittens,
and one gentleman took two of them.
Not long afterwards at a similar
Democratic gathering the boy was
present trying TO sell the other two.
Here, however, he announced that
they were Democratic kittens. The
man who had bought the first two,
being present, stepped up and said,
See here! didn't you tell me those
were Republican kittens. How do you
make out now that they are Demo
cratic?"
