along those lines. In fact, there has been
such house cleaning at the Vatican since the
days OF Sixtus v, that is to say nearly four
centuries ago; and while. OF course. there is
wailing and gnashing OF teeth among those af-

This is the first time the Peoples party has showed an aggressive spirit in in this state ia eight years, and II is thought there will be noth- ing more than a showing made this year.

NO COMPROMISE IN
 RATES IN SIGHT
Conference Between Traffic Officials and Railroad Commissioners De- clared Off ff-Some Comfort
 for Shippers.

Little Rock, Oct. 14.-Ail con- ferences between the railroad traffic officials and railroad com mission, looking to a compromise of the rate question was declared off this morning when the rep resentatives of both sidas agreed that the compromise could never be reached, owing to widely divergent ideas as to what consti- tute reasona ble rate."
 The commissioner said they would not compromise and that further conference would be a waste of time.
 The matter must now be fought to a finish in the courts.
 However, the traffic men said they would withdraw the tariffs filed with the commission last week, for further revision.
 The tariffs were to go into effect tomorrow, but will be held back till November. This means victory for shippers, as the roads evidently intend to lower commodity rates from the schedule first proposed.
