SITUATION IS
EXTREMELY BAD.

a special dispatch to the Evening
Post of New York says the railroad
situation in the northwest is appalling.
The present congestion will not BIO
obliterated inside of year." says the
dispatch, There are 1000 loaded
freight cars in the yards of the Min
nesota Transfer company. every car
loaded with Christmas goods billed TO
North Dakota towns. which haye
been in the yards since Dec l. There
are also half this number of cars scat
tered along the side tracks between
the Twin Cities. and the Dakota east
ern border loaded with food supplies
and merchandise. Some of these cars
have been on the road since Nov. 81,
long before the storms came, but at
time when. 1t is said. the railroads
had reached an agreement to with
hold cars from the northwest, so that
shipments of grain could not be made
to the east until after the close of
navigation on the great lakes. The
storms came, and the railroads nave
suffered as well as the people of the
northwest"

COMPLAINTS FROM
THE CATTLE RAlSERS
Freight Rates and Service BY Rat
roads 10 be Observation-Disclosures
Appear Before Commission.

The following IL given out from the
of the Cattle Raisers' associa'
ton of Texas:
The complaints Of the cattle raisers
of Texas, New Mexico and the South
west. In regard 10 the freight rates
on cattle and In regard to the servic"
given by the railways on cattle ship
ments. are a matter Of public notori'
etv. The members of the Cattle Rails
ers' association OF Texas feel that the
frequent raising nf cattle rates during
the last five years has been accompan
led By u lowering of the standard OF
service. The attorneys OF the ass0cia
ton upon the direction and with the
unanimous consent and approval OF the
executive committee, have filed before
fAr Interstate commerce commission
"A proceeding TO contest the present
rates on cattle and to secure "A reduc-
ton thereof They have also filed ii
proceeding to compel the Texas &
Pacific Railway company and the Cat
weston. Harrisburg Il San Antonio
Railway company 10 furnish through
rates and routes. ami to require them
Ia haul cattle tn destination In tn"
same cars In which they are originally
loaded. The injustice of the shipment
of cattle from Wcatherford to Kansas
CITY being required tn he unl0aded
at Fort Worth Is manifest. Likewise
a shipment from Toyah or Odessa. to
the north, being required I" be unload,
ed at Pecos.
It Is believed that the slower rate
LOT speed and the failure to promptly
furnish cars recently has been OWING
ito a large extent to the use Of cattle
ears for other purposes, and the ten
Idency to overload engines, etc.
These complaints. which the attor
ney9 of the association have filed be
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion. are to have a hearing by the com
mission at Amarillo today. and at For
Worth on Monday and Tuesday, Tho
commission and our attorneys will b.
on hand at these times and places
for the introduction Of testimony Gov
ering these questions.
All members Of this association o
other cattlemen will be entitled to ties
tifv before said commission and Civ,
their grievances, their difficulties, eX
p~eriences and losses in connection witt
the subject. The association urges
those cattlemen who have come in di
rect contact with the class of servic'
given by the railroads and who know
other facts pertinent to the issues in
VOWED in these cases, to be presen
at Amarillo and at Fort Worth TO re
late their experiences, observation AM
testimony In connection with thes'
matters. Certainly there should be
large number of cattle raisers presen
at these hearings, and the association
adopts this method OF advertising sal
hearings and requesting parties intel
ested to appear on the dates named.

rights of his posterity to succeed him on the throne, the prince and his count ess were married July 1, 1900. The marriage ceremony was simple, but the ceremony of remuneration which pre- ceded it was not. In the presence of and state officials Francis Ferdinand swore solemnly that neither he nor his wife, the Countess Chotek, would ever regard their marriage as other than mOrganatic alliance and that, so far as the succession was concerned, their chil- dren would be illegitimate.
 = After the marriage the emperor re- tented to the extent of advancing the archduke's bride. to the dignity of princess, giving her the title Princess Hohenberg. The marriage has disap- pointed all the pessimists who predict ed a disastrous result of what they considered a misaliance, for the arch duke and his morganatic wife have lived together in peace and concord and have three beautiful children, to whom they are as devoted as they are to each other Not breath of scandal has touched either the duke or the Princess Hohenberg, and their conduct might well serve as an example to oth- CT archdukes who have adhered more closely to the traditions of the Haps- burgs.

TOLD is the breast in which no X love of romance lives, and when " the romance concerns royalty all
 the world is ready to read. Since David's wooing of Bathsheba the love affairs of kings have been sung to the great delight of the populace and when monarch stoops, like Cophetua to the beggar maid, to lay his heart at a subjects feet novelists rejoice and sentimental youths and maids weep tears of gladness. So when it was an- Iounced some years ago that the Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Aus tria. heir to the oldest and proudest throne in Europe, had fallen in love with 9 beautiful Bohemian, in whose blood no royal corpuscles ran and whose highest title was that of count ess, the spirit of romance took on new life, and his decision to wed the lady of his choice was applauded far and wide. h his own country, however, the applause was somewhat faint for the archduke was not overpopular there. and in no country in the world, outside of India perhaps, is the idea of caste more fixed. For prince of the blood to make simple countess his wife was regarded as something in the line of sacrilege. It would have been all right, of course. for the prince to love his sweetheart under the rose, but to marry her-aristocratic Aus

sued the proud emperor of Austria as a hunter stalks his prey. From that terrible day when his brother Maxi milan, deserted by Louis Napoleon, who had made him emperor of Mexico, was shot down like a felon by the SOL diers of Juarez and the Empress Car lotta came home a maniac Francis Jo- seph has been a man of sorrows, ac- quainted with grief. His cousin, the Archduke Salvador, ran off to sea, preferring the life of common sailor to the eXactions of the severest court in Christendom, and never was heard of again. His only son, the Grown Prince Rudolph, committed suicide in 1889 as the result of an unfortunate love affair. Then came the crowning stroke of misfortune. The Empress Elizabeth, adored by high and low as the imperial embodiment of all the virtues, was assassinated by an an archist during visit to Switzerland nine years ago this fall More recent ly the scandalous elopement of the crown princess of Saxony, who was an Austrian archduchess, reopened the emperor's heart wounds. He has we'll been called "the modern King Lear"
 The tragic death of Maximilian was the one incident in his eventful career that the emperor was unable to forgive.
