 Washington. oct. ze--t Special. 1->-A complaint was filed before tho Inter- state Commerce Commission today by a dry goods firm at Wichita. Kansas, against more railroad companies than yet have been collectively hauled up for alleged violation of the law.
 Two hundred and twenty-seven lines are included in the list. This beats the complaint of the Montgomery Freight Bureau which included fifteen lines.
 Among the companies the Kansas concernS wants regulated are the fol- lowing: Alabama Great Southern, Alabama and Vicksburg, the Mobile and Ohio and the Louisville and Nash vile. the Southern Railway and the seaboard Air Line. Most all of the complaints If they have 8 chance. seem to have an especial fondness for talk ing a whack at the latter companies. According to the records of the com- mission, the charges chiefly are that the companies make unjust rates on knit goods and cotton piece goods.
 The commission did not hold a gen. eral session today and therefore no ac- ton has yet been taken in the Mont gomery Freight Bureau case. Indica- tions are nothing will be done to- wards fixing date of the hearing untfl next month. Four of the commission CTS are out of the city.

LETTER FROM GROvER CEEvK-
 LAND MADE PUBLIC.
He Protests Agafnst Abuses That Have Been Allowed To Effect The People Under RepubIt-
 can Control.

Trenton. N. J., Oct, 2S.--A letter from Grover Cleveland. in wich he discusses fSate affairs. was the fea- ture of the Democratic mass meeting here tonight at which Frank S. Kat zenbach, Jr., the Democratic candidate for Governor. was the principal speak CT. The letter is as follows:
 To Hon. Bayard Stockton.
 My Dear Sir:--I am in receipt of your note rendering me an invitation to preside at a meeting to held at Tren- ton on the 2Sth instant in the interest candidacy of Frank s. katzenbach, IT,, for Governor of the State.
 T am very sorry that the condition Of my health wpi not permit me to attend the, meeting.
 Tt would be a satisfaction to me to meet on this occasion my Democratic brethren of the State and present home and to add my protect to theirs against the abuses that have been al- lowed to affect the people of New Jer- sey under Republican State control.
 Tn the pending political campaign, the Democracy of the State is pledged to the correction of these abuses and a restoration to the people of thelrsfree- dom of political action, end ehefg pro- which are their due.
 There Is nothing that our people have a more clear right. to demand of those in control of their State govern ment. than rigid economy and the in- exorable exaction of honest service and duty on the part of all who are entrusted with public work. Neglect of those demands amounts directly to a waste of the peoples substance and leads inevitably to the prostitution of public interests to private and partisan ends.
 Tt is not consistent with the char acter or disposition of true democracy to tolerate such conditions. co
 Surely our party in New Jerseyn pledged to the reform of abuses and to the protection of legitimate inter ests of all the citizens of the State and presenting to them a candidate who all can trust. never had a higher incentive to harmonious, intelligent and unremitting effort
 Yours very sincerely,
 Grover Cleveland. |"

 Washington, Oct. 28.--'It was a sur- prise to me-" said Governor Frant5 ot Oklahoma tonight. in speaking of the action of Acting Governor Fielson, in issuing a proclamation declaring legal holiday of six days, and the clos ing of the banks Of the Territory as a result.
 T have been away from Oklahoma for several days" said the Governor, land therefore I am not as familiar with the financial situation there. but I am satisfied that the acting Cover. nor took the step on the advice of the bankers of the Territory.
 ''The small country banks have large deposits in St. Louis and Kansas City. and the action of those banks In re- fusinR to ship any currency to the country banks of Oklahoma makes 1t almost impossible for the latter to ham, de their business.
 T do not see how 1t can ipjuriously affect the railroad or cotton business as seems to be feared on the New York Exchanges. However, if it Is found that the holiday order results in stag nation of business 1t can be revoked at any time"
 Governor Frantz called at the Treas- ury Department and brought Acting Governor Fieison's telegram to the ate tention of Secretary Cortelyou. They discussed the financial situation in Ok lahorna but no decision was arrived at and the conference will be resumed to- morrow.
