MISSOURI PACIFIC ANSWERS.
Files Reply to Information Furnished
Supreme Court by HadleY

Jefferson City, Mo, Sept. 26.-The
Missouri Pacific railroad the Western
Coal and Mining company, the Rich
Hill Coal company and the Kansas
Missouri Elevator company filed in
the supreme court yesterday an an
swer to the information of Attorney
General Hadley asking for custer of
the franchises of the companies on the
ground that the Missouri Pacific owns
other corporations in violation of the
state laws. The answer admits that
the Missouri Pacific owns a majority
of the stock in the other companies
through a trustee but contends that it
does this in accordance with the con-
stitution and laws of the state and for
the purpose of having facilities for
enabling it to serve the public prop
erly as a common carrier. This case,
with another against the Missouri
Pacific, Wabash, and Iron Mountain
railroads and the Pacific Express com
pany, in which custer is sought on the
ground that the Missouri Pacific is the
holding company for others and that
the wabash is a parallel line is set for
argument at the october term of the
supreme court en- banc. Last June
the supreme court overruled de-
rnurrers to the information and re-
quired the companies TO answer,
which was done today.

IN OLD MEXICO TOO.
Unsettled Freight Rates Exciting COM
motion There


The railroad-rate question appears to
be in as unsettled a condition in Mexi :
co as in the United States, and to be
exciting as much commotion there as
here. 1t has become important enough
to induce Consul G. w. Shaughnessy,
who is stationed at Aguascalientes, to
send to the department of commerce
and labor a report on the subject.
In this report Consul Shaughnessy
states that the contemplated changes in
freight rates, which were to have taken
effect on August g. are still pending, wait
ing the approval of the Mexican tariff
commission all railroad rates in
Mexico must be submitted to the gov
eminent before they may go into effect,
The new classification and freight
tariff were published and distributed, but
the many serious objections raised
against them have so far prevented
their being approved and have been the
means of commencing what promises to
be warm controversy between the
railroads and the mining and smelling
interests The mineral interests are
foremost in combating the proposed
raise in these rates.
In some cases the rate on certain
classes of ore have been advanced as
high as 1863 per cent, while the average
increase is as high as 81 per cent ac-
cording to the distance transported.-As
the greater part of the Mexican mines
are of the low rather than of the high
grade the ores now being shipped will
not produce enough revenue under the
proposed rates to warrant their opera
ton.
Quoting an instance. a conpany. Of
which the operators are Americans has
expended nearly $5.000000 in a number
of years, without any profit from their
opera tons to bring their properties to
a profitable basis. Large concentration
works have been erected, by which four
tons of crude ore NAV be reduced to one
ton of concentrates for shipment to the
~melters Thesc- concentrates will bv

of freight rates, ard thereby inf1ict an
Thcs mines tmsve practically arrived at
profitable ba sis, producing at this
time about 1900 tons of ore monthly
but the proposed freight rates will
place them where they were before and
probably cause their sbandon1nent

PULLMAN FORCES REDUCED.
Cut Down to Normal Basis After u
Year of Activity.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-After operating for
a year on a rush basis.' the Pullman
company has reduced it's car shops
force from 10000 to 5000 men, most of
the cutting down having been within
the last few weeks. 1t is said the re-
duction is simply to get back to a nor
NAL basis, the force having been in
creased by about $500 men II months
ago to meet condition of extraordinary
activity.
It is believed that the business condi-
tions of the country are such that no
further reductions will be necessary. A
god deal of work is in hand. although
the railroads are not giving out as
many orders for cars as they were
wear ago. Street railway companies are
h,1vinc cars all the time. and there are
some steam railroads that are in the
market most of the time, although they
are not giving out as many fresh or
ders. or as large orders, as last year.

months. On the whole, however, tn e
comments are temperate, although the
remarks upon the advance in wages
and other causes which have contrib
uted to higher working. costs are as a
rule more pungent.t97l. l.a
The outlook for gross earnings is in
every respect satisfactory, but officers
have not yet solved the problem of de-
creasing the inroads upon the net. The
tightness of monev receives attention,
and in not a few instances it is an
nounced that extensions have been
either abandoned or postponed.
Conditions have been abnormal, but
they are gradually correcting them
selves, and though net earnings may
suffer for a time, ways and means will
no doubt be found to arrive at an un-
derstanding with legislatures and the
people that will insure reasona BILE

CAME HOME ON LUsrTANIA.
A Mcpherson Man Relates Some of His
Ocean Voyage Experience.

Mcpherson, Kan, Sept. 26-The
Republican says:
c. o. Sederlund arrived home last
night from Sweden where he spent five
months visiting his two broth and
many old friends. 1t was twenty-five
years almost to the day since he LEFT
his home across the sea and he found
the change a great surprise Not one
in twenty-five of his former friends
were still living in Sweden. Mr.. Seder-
lund surprised his brothers and it was
some time before he was recognized.
He spent a greater part of his time al
his old home in Smoland, in the south
ern part of Sweden. His visit also took
him all over Sweden and Norway, as
far north as Stockholm
Coming home Mr.. Sederlund was 4
passenger on the Lusitania, the largest
ocean liner in the world, which was
making its first trip across the ocean.
There were over five thousand passen-
gers on the ship including three thous-
and two hundred first, second and third
class passengers, thirteen hundred and
fifty steerage passengers and the ships
crew. numbering about eight hundred
men. The ship is seven hundred and
ninety feet in length and is a floating
palace. The accommodations were
elegant and the voyage across the
ocean was unusually pleasant. During
all five days of the voyage the sea was
as calm as a pond and the big liner
was able to make rapid Roadway. The
average speed was twenty-five knots an
hour. which is about twenty-rine
miles, The ships, greatest record for.
twenty-four hours was five hundred
and seventy-five knots. In mid-ocean
the four propellers, which are turned
by gigantic turbine engines of over
seventy thousand horsepower. churll
the waters with such force that river
of foam trails the vessel for a long dis
lance. In travel the movement can not
be noticed by passengers in the main
part of the ship but the throbbing Of
the great turbines causes a vibration in
the rear part of the ship. Save for
this, the passengers have nothing 20
remind them that they are riding
across the briny deep. instead of livins
in an inland pleasure city.
During Mr.. Sederlund's visit in
Sweden he very seldom had the pleas
ure of seing a MONDAY sun. The SKY
was generally. cloudy and there was a
great deal of. rain. Nevertheless his
visit was very pleasant and he succeed
ed in adding about thirty pounds to his
weight.

Uncle Sam Looks After Mail
Service in Detail.
Ottawa Man Proves This by an
Experiment.
GOES 10000 MILES
Sends a Letter to Point Barrow
With Return Address.
There and Back by Rail, Dog
SIeds and Steamers.

Ottawa, Kan, Sept. 26.-The Re-
public says:
The conclusion of an interesting ex-
pertinent made by DR.. v. E. Lawrence
came yesterday afternoon with the re-
turn of a letter. which had been mailed
to Point Barrow. Alaska.
DR.. Lawrence mailed the letter to q
fictitious person and wrote in the cor
ner of the envelopes: Return by frs {
mail If not delivered adding his own
name and address.
The letter was mailed June 8 last ar
1890 a. m. 1t was therefore 113 days
on the road to Point Barrow and back
including the one day it renamed in
the Alaska postoffice.
DR.. Lawrence took occasion to ex
plain the purpose of his experiment
IN the letter itself, which is as follows:
Point Barrow, Alaska, is the farth-
est point north i'll the dominion of the
United States. 1t is about 5000 miles
northwest of Ottawa, Kan. A letter
from here goes first to Seattle, about

WILL TWO CENT FARE CONTINUE
This Question Is Puzzling Attorney
General Hadley.

Jefferson City, Mo, Sept. 26.-At-
torney General Hadley says that up to
date he has not the most remote in
timation from the railroads of the
state as to whether they intend to con-
tinue the 2-cent passenger fare rate
after october 1. 1t was tacitly agreed
at Kansas City that the roads would
operate under this law from July 1 to
October 1, so as to give it a trial. All
though the end of this agreement Is
near, yet the representative of the
state is not advised as to what course
will be pursued beyond a few days in
the future.
Legal proceedings affecting the law
are pending in the federal court at
Kansas City, before Judge McPher-
strain the state authorities from en-
forcing the law, on the ground thai
IT is confiscatory and in violation OF
the fifteenth amendment to the con-
stitution OF the United States Acting
upon the suggestion of Judge Nc
PhersOn. that it would be well enough
to give the law a trial, the agreement
stated was rea ched.
Following a Iull in the 2-cent-rate
litigation, Attorney General Hadley
sought to induce the roads to discon-
tinue the use of free passes, save to
employees. He stated that the issu-
ance of free passes to others than en-
ployes was discrimination, such as Is
prohibited by law. and that re1usal 10
comply with this law would result IN
prosecutions. 1t was his opinion then
that if the roads would discontinue
the pronniscuous use of passes that
their passenger. earnings would snow

would be placed under the 2-cent-fare
law.
1t is expected that the roads WIN
continue the 2-cent rate until the case
