His Business Agent is True the

New York. Feb. 22-The magnitude
of John ID. Rockefeller's fortune was
developed in an inquiry here. In reply
TO question, Frederick T. Gates, Mr..
RockefelIer's business representative
said:
There have been great many
amusing misstatements on this SUD
ject. Several years ago Senator Hoar'
i'm the senate, credited Mr.. Rockefeller
with a fortune of 81 100000, 900. Quite
recently a statement has been made
and published widely throughout the
country that his annual income ex-
ceeds 100000.
Now, the facts are that Mr.. Rookie
Teller has at various times himself au-
tborized a statement that his fortune
can not exceed $250,000,000 to $780,
900, 900. Furthermore, his income, in
stead of being $100,000,000, or any
thing like it, can not, in his most pros
porous year, have exceeded $1o,OOO,-
600 to $20,O00,O0O.
The public generally is under the
impression that he owns a majority
of the Standard Oil stock. The facts
are that Mr.. .Rockefeller's holdings
OF Standard Oil stock are about 20 per
cent"

PUT TO GREAT ANNOYANCE.
Passengers to Ohio Points Attempt to
Work the Conductors.

Conductors running between Rich
mond and Ohio points on the Pennsyl-
vania. state that since the establish
ment of the Ohio two-cent passenger
rate, they have had troubles of their
own, for the reason that many people
enter the train and flash bills OF large
denominations upon them in order that
they cannot be changed upon the train
and they will get to ride free. There
is no extra charge clause in the Ohio
law, which requires passengers paying
fares on trains to pay an extra half
cent for the privilege. The conduc-
tors running in Indiana are all pleas
ed with the present Indiana two-cent
bill. in that it requires passengers TO
pay this extra amount when paying
fares on the trains. This half cent,
however. is TO be refunded TO them
when they reach their destination.

INDUCING IN PERSONALITIES.
CITY Officers of Pittsburg and OFFICIALS
of the Pennsy at Outs.

Since the city of Pittsburg has in
creased the Pennsylvania assess
ment in that city $13,0OO.OOO, both
the railroad officials and the city oni'
Gals are indulging in many personail'
ties. The railroad officials OF that
city. state that it is simply spite case
on the part of the city because the
railroad some time ago, cut the oni-
Gals off from the many passes. May
or Guthrie, of Pittsburg, states that
he hopes that the Pennsylvania Will
refuse to accept s7,OO0,0o0 Of the in
creased assessment so that the matter
NAV be taken to court, as he wishes TO
have established a precedent Whlcn
makes not only the Pennsylvania, but
all railroads of the country. pay Tor
their right of way through cities. In
stead of substituting city onlclais,
something, he says, the Pennsylvania
did to the officials of Pittsburg be-
fore he assumed office. He also says
that previous to his advent into office
the Pennsylvania railroad gave out
10000 passes and that $4,000 year
was paid the recognized city boss
to keep things right for the railroad
and their assessments down.

TO WITHRAW THE PERMITS
MINISTER'S WILL HAVE TO PAY
TWO-CENT FARE.
Central Passenger Association Will
Make Certificates Null and Void
After Bland Bill Is Law.

The ministers of Indiana are now
| paying and will continue TO pay two
cents per mile for transportation on
the Pennsylvania railroad according
to the statement of an official at the
Pennsylvania station. The minis
tiers formerly secured rate of one and
one-half cents by presenting clergy
mems certificates, but when the Penn
sylvania railroad made uniform rate
of two and one-half sents throughout
Indiana and Pennsylvania, the clergy
mems rate was raised to two cents.
After the Bland two-cent railroad bill
now pending before the Indiana gener-
al assembly, receives the signature of
Governor Hanly, the ministers will be
obliged to pay two cents a mile on all
other railroads in the state, the
clergymenS' certificates being with
drawn by the Central Passenger asso-
citation. The Central association has
already withdrawn the permits in Ohio
and will take the same step in Indiana
A minister, presenting a clergyman's
certificate at the Richmond office at
the present time, asking for ticket to
Ohio points pays two cents a mile.
There will be no discrimination be-
tween professional men following the
passage of the two-cent bill. In
speaking of the matter a railroad of
fetal said yesterday that he could
see no reason why clergymen should
receive lower rates than other profess
sional men. He also said that when
the rates were lowered to two cents
no Partially would be shown, as the
half cent realized on clergy traffic
would go to great extent in making
up for the loss caused by the lowering
Of the present rate of two and one-half
cents to two, on general traffic.
The clergymens' certificates issued
by the Central Passenger association,
good on all lines in states under the
associations jurisdiction, will be with
drawn.
1t was thought by the railroad Off
Gals for a time that the clergymen
would still secure lower rates, but
members of other religious societies
would be barred from participation in
them. The ruling of the associa-
ton in regard to the, matter. however,
causes no surprise in the local office.

Publishers Press.1

Warsaw, Russian Poland, Feb. 81
The postoffice here was attacked by a
band of terrorists, who shot and killed
the postmaster, two postal clerks and
two soldiers guarding the Office, and
wounded a score of bystanders. The
terrorists robbed the safe of cash and
stamps and escaped in cabs.
The robbers displayed a red flag
while making their escape. The post
Office authorities admit that the rob-
bers took several thousand roubles.
This was the first important raid in
two months and shows that the ter
rorists were not suppressed, as the
authorities alleged. The incident
caused intense excitement in Warsaw
and aroused fear. of recurrence of

RAILROADS WANT MORE MONEY
Say They Should be Given Higher
Rates for Carrying Mails.

OF much of the greatest importance
to the postoffice department of the
United States is the quadrennial
weighing of the mails this year. AT
the present time there is controversy
between the government and the rail-
roads over appropriations that have
been made for the transportation of
the mails.
Members of the government service
are maintaining that all railroads are
claiming more than they are entitled
to. but the railroads assert that the
growth of the amount of mail handled
in the last four years, since the last
weighing took place, has been so
great that it would be impossible for
them to carry mail under the rates
that are allowed them.
1t is believed by the local postal
weighers that the amount OF mail
handled this year, will be increased
greater than ever before. The vol
ume of mail handled in the local Of
fee has increased considerable since
the last weighing. This increase is
said to be due in large measure to
the development of the mail order
business within the last two years.
