RATE DISCRIMINATION
BARRED COMPETITION
Witnesses in Interstate Com
merce Hearing Give Some
Strong Testimony.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Wiuiam ". Suf-
ness at today's session of the Inter
Investigating the alleged rebate eases.
Suferns said that he entered the grain
exporting business over nine yeats ago.
Three years ago he said he discovered
that Harris, Scotch g. Co, grain men
of Chicago. and Rosenbaum & Co. were
receiving an elevator allowance st New
Orleans of cents per 100 pounds from
the Illinois Central railroad.
1.-The rate on grain for export via
New Orleans was II cents per hun
dred," said the witness. "Two cents
of that went TO the export elevator iu-
terest and the remainder to the rail
road. The rebate allowed these firms
prevented me from competing with
them in the European market. 1 discov-
cred they were offering grain in Europe
at what it cost me here. They had an
actual advantage of 11l cents.
II quit the export business last win
ter because I could not live, let alone
make anything
r. J. Barr of New Orleans told a
similar story.
In regard to the export situation at
New Orleans, he said that the Illinois
Central railroad IS heavily interested
IN export elevators In New Orleans,
and that it leases one of its houses 10
Harris, Scoteu g. Co. In view of this,
he said, the elevator owned by the rail
road interest gets the allowance of =
cents, and the same thing is true IN the
case of the leased elevator.

QUICK WORK.

Yesterday the following appeared in the International-Americ
 There seems to be general prosper ity around the First National Bank. Two of the employees of that institu- ton are getting ready, to provide themselves with new homes The as- sistant cashier might go and do like wise and remain strictly within the lines of propriety."
 And in the Dispatch this morning comes the announcement of the en- gagement of w. c. Winnegar. assist ant cashier of the First National Bank to Miss Bess Brown, one Of the handsome and talented young ladies of Douglas.
 Whenever the International-Ameri- can succeeds in smoking a bachelor out of his den the event is cause for celebration in this office.
 There are several other crusty bach elors in this city that it is hoped will be on the matrimonial carpet before the arrival of dog days.

CATTLE MARKET STOCKED
ON THAT ACCOUNT DR. BRAY EXPECTS LIGHT CATTLE
 SHIPMENTS.

DOUGLAS, April 19.-(Special)-
 Dr. T. A. Bray. of the United States department of agriculture, bureau of Animal Industry, is in Douglas in- specting some cattle for shipment. When asked as regards the number of cattle that would be shipped out of this section this year, Dr. Bray said:
 T do not look for a very large movement out of the southwestern country this year There are various reasons why this should not be, chief among which is the fact that the northern stock markets seem to be oyerstocked and it will be necessary to work of the surplus before any big shipment occurs. This will also tend to hold the prices of cattle down also Generally speaking cattle all over the ranges in this country are now in better shape than any spring for years, and cattlemen are recover ing from their recent losses. There have been good general rains during tho winter. which have put the rang es in excellent shape"

BOILER WATER TUBES
 EXPLODE AT SHELTER.
ONE MAN AND TWO BOYS DEAD AND ONE OTHER IS FATAL
 " INJURED.

DOUGLAS, April 19.-tSpeciaL)-
 About 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon one of the water tubes of the boiler in the smelter of the Transvaal Cop per company at Cumpas exploded, kill. ing one boy and badly scalding the son of pr. Van Dorn, and two men who were standing near. Dr. Van Dorn's son and the fireman have since died and there is little hope for the recoy. cry of the other man injured. His death is expected at any time.
 The two men and the boys were standing near when the explosion oc- cured, and were badly scalded by the escaping steam, which has result ed fatally to three, and will in all probability be fatal to the fourth.
 The funeral of Dr. Van Dorn's son took place yesterday.

OLD TIMER IN ALASKA
MIKE RICE, PIONEER OF ARIZONA WRITES INTERESTING LET
 TER FROM JUNEAU.

DOUGLAS, April I9.-(Special.)-
 Alaska Is a good place to visit if you have money. It has millions and millions of ore. It is a sorry pace if 8 person of limited means goes there to work.
 This was the most striking feature of an interesting letter received by Hon. Bo J. Whiteside, the well known travelling man and former legislator from Santa Cruz. The letter was written by Mike Rice, who is one of the Arizona pioneers and who was a clerk at several legislative sessions, and who is also we'll known in Tue son.
 The letter was written from Juneau, Alaska Among the Arizonans men toned in Alaska are George P. Blair, Jack Smith, Neil Thorndyke and Billy Mover. Blair is now a mining en- gineer. Mover is prospecting in the interior.
 The writer says: "very few men have seen more of Alaska in the last two years than I have, and have not ed it's great resources with more in terest The copper regions of Alas ka are simply inexhaustible. All the opened properties of Globe, Morenci, Bisbee. Clifton, Cananea, Nacozari and Montana do not compare with them. A good idea may be obtained by imagining a belt eighty miles long and ten miles wide, literally intersect- ed by veins of ore of the richest char acter. I have seen natice copper in quantities sufficient to load one of Arizona's largest freight trains, with nuggets ranging from the size of a walnut to one chunk eight feet long and five feet thick. This chunk was found near Truman's property and h. will be a millionaire if he holds on to his interest All this great wealth is awaiting the coming of railroad and two are now in the primitive stages of construction.
 Alaska is the coming country for exploitation by immense capital. No one without means, energy and i'm mense ambition has any business here. It is the poorest labor mart in the world. Chea plabor awaits any workingman who casts his lot nthe west coast of Alaska. With eight mechanics are receiving thirty per cent less than in Arizona and Nevada. Of the 1900 employees in the Tread we'll, 1900 are Russians, Servians, Films and Montenegrins, and an Am trican finds himself in a foreign com munity and his labor is not wanted"
 Rice states that placer mining con. ditions reverse all California tradi- tions, so that old timers are handi- capped. He states that it is mostly deep mining through frozen ground, requiring machinery for thawing, and the pan and rocker and the Hong Tom man are practically dead issues,

American Bandit Comes to His Death in the City of
 Guerrero.
SCOTT WHITE WAS
 ACCORDED INTERVIEW.
NorcroSs Says He Was Forced to Shoot Because His Victim Violated the Rules of the HoId-Up Game.

DOUGLAS. April 19.-(Special)--
 According to the Enterprise, news vas received in Chihuahua Wednes- day that John Norcross, the bandit captured at the Mormon colony of Morales. in Sonora, who was taken from that city to the jail in Guerrero, died there at 10 o'clock last Tuesday night. The cause of his death was the bullet wound inflicted by the Mormon who shot him while esecting his cap ture.
 The wound was anything but nee. essariiy fatal, being only flesh wound. but as there was no physician at Morales he had to be brought in wagon one hundred miles to Nuevas Casas Grandes before he could re- ceive medical attention. He was then taken to JuareZ. thence to Chihuahua and then to Guerrero. It is under stood that the result of the autopsy and possibly Norcross' confession made in JuareZ, will be made public next week.
 It is reported that Norcross is a fugitive from Idaho. He had been around Temosachic just before the Dolores conducta was held up. Billy Smith. who had charge Of the con- ducta at the time and who was wound ed and returned this week, feels cer- tain that NorcroSs was one of the three Americans who held him up. Smith says he had met Norcross at Temosachic just before the hold-up and that on one occasion when the latte. and comrade complained of being in hard luck. he offered to let them have money to eat on"
 smith says that the young Mexican boy who was one of his guards at the time of the hold-up. and who fought so brayely, is recovering from the terrible wound received from the bandits at the time The boy is un- der the medical care of Dr. NicL ol at Guerrero.
 From a very reliable source the story has reached here that Scott White. at one time sheriff of Cochise county. Arizona, and now treasurer of w. C. Greene's companies operat- ing in Chihuahua, went over to the Guerrero jail to see Norcross. It seems that White had known Nor cross
 Among other questions White is said to have asked the prisoner were:
 How is it, Norcross, you never held me up in these mountains? I have gone out frequently with a great 2ea} more -money than the Dolores eonducta had"
 Norcross: Well, White, knew you and didn't know Smith, and it makes a difference when you know a fellow. don't like to hold up a man that I know"
 White: But why did you commit such slaughter and kill the guards? ?'
 Norcross: Well, Smith violated the rules of the game when he didn't throw up his hands when commanded to. We had to shoot then"
 White: But why didn't you get out of the country? You had plenty of time"
 Eorcross: "Yes, I know I had time to get out and could have done sc But those authorities who were after me looked so much like ten cents Mex. that I did not think it worth while"
 Thus it appears that -Norcross. like the tough -hombres' of his class, thought he could range through the country and that the rurales could not capture him. But he was doomed to disappointment.

\ WOMAKs LIFE STUDY
LAREDO WOMAN SAYS THERE ARE 1000 VARIETIES OF THE
 CACTUS GROWTH.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Apr 1S.-- Cactus. the plant distinctive of south west Texas. Arizona and New Mexico, has been the life study of a woman who is surrounded in her home on the Rio Grande by the most weird and forbidding garden of prickly things that can be imagined.
 Mrs. Anna B. Nickels, of Laredo. is the recognized authority on cactus growths. and she has made a list of more than 1000 distinct varieties of the growth.
 Mrs. Nickels is visited every winter by scientists and tourists and curios- ity collectors, who are interested in her cactus collection. She has devot- ed long life to study of the growths of the mesas and mountains, and is stiil enthusiastic in her work. She has gone on foot over nearly every mountain of consequence in northern Mexico, and has examined the plant grown on many of the peaks further south.
 . Mrs. Nickel is not a botanist. and has not studied that subject at all, but she knows all about cactus be- cause when she came to Texas a girl she began the collection and classifi- cation of the plants until she discoy- cred every variety and won for her self the name, Mother of the Cacti."
 In her explorations in Mexico and America Mrs. Nickels has met many strange adventures and been a party to many thrilling experiences out in She has been captured by Mexican bandits and robbed by American road agents, and rattlesrakes have bitten her
