ROADS TO INCREASE
RATES ON MEATS

CHICAGO, Feb 1s.-The Record Herald, In
a news article this morning says:
Railroads between the Missouri river and
Chicago. with the exception of the Chicago and
Alton, will increase the rates on live stock,
dressed meats and packing house products from
20 to 251s cents per 100 pounds.
The ire Of the other roads was aroused be-
cause the Alton was reported to have signed
a contract with Kansas City packers to- carry
their products at a rate of 1Sle cents per 100
pounds between Kansas City and Chicago. The
other roads assert that this rate is too low to
bring anything more than the barest profit
The roads also say that X the Alton puts the
low rate into effect they will throw all the
packing business to the Alton and it will be
so choked with small profit freight that IT will
not be able to handle the high grade business. -

UPR0AR IN CHAMBER.
Two DueIs Probable as Sequel to
Rome Incident

Two Duels Probable as Sequel 10
Rome Incident.
Rome. March Ain the Parliament to-
day signor Chiesa, a Republican deputy,
asked for explanations In regard to the
relations of Gen. Di Cossato and Nine.
Siemens, a reputed German SPY.
Gen. Prudente. the under secretary of
war, refused to answer, whereupon Sig
nor Chiesa abused the general, calling
him BLACKBOARD and a coward, who was
not worthy 10 wear a uniform.
A majority of the deputies disapproved
of the conduct of signor Chiesa and
raised a disturbance in the hope of
silencing Chiesa. The president of the
chamber tried in vain to secure a re-
traction from Chiesa. The uproar tr-
creased as Chiesa continued to hurl epi-
thets at Gen. Prudente, who left the
chamber.
The president thereupon adjourned the
sitting. After the adjournment Deputy
Morando demanded an explanation from
Signor Chiesa, who had alluded IN dis
respectful terms to his aunt, the Duchess
OF Litta. Chiesa refused to explain and
Morando attacked him in the corridors
OF the chamber and gave him a sound
beating.
AS a sequel to these incidents two duels
are IN sight, one between Gen. Prudente
and Chesa and another between No
Tsndo and Chiesa.

Cincinnati March 4-"The Republicans

the Ohio Republican State executive COM
mittee, who arrived here to-day.
From ali parts of the State I'm getting
the most encouraging reports. The leaders
are delighted, and the rank and file en-
thusiastic.
4 am delighted that President Taft has
come out and announced to the voters of
the State that he Is not responsible for
my nomination and selection to the office
Of chairman. Some sources are attempt
ing to create the impression that this
letter Of the Presidents was a repudia-
ton, but that is too utterly silly 10 even
annoy me. as everybody knows that 1t
is net a reputation of me, but repudia-
ton of the hint that the President was
attempting to dictate in Ohio politics.
President Taft is an Ohio Republican.
He is interested as a citizen in the
political welfare Of his State. 1t was as
such that he agreed TO relieve me from
my duties at Washington when requested
to do so by those gentlemen who called
upon and laid the situation before him"

ton. Mr. Ellis said
THE Democrats have a candidate for
governor in JudsOn Harmon. That is
absolutely all they have. They are try

exposure of graft in State offices. But
they cannot forget, and the people all
know that it was the Republicans who
made the laws that made IL possible 10
expose this graft. \ thief has no party.
He is an outcast, and no party can be

But that graft exposure will be made

be all they Will have to offer. Upon these
they will enter the campaign next fall Il
will be our duty 10 tell the facts In the
case and see that no one is deceived by
the cry Of Graft, for had the Repubn-
cans not passed the laws that made this
discovery possible, Mr.. Harmon could not
have advanced step He. as the head
of the state, is carrying out the duties We

son Harmon. There is a man who is as
strong and as honest as Harmon, and at
q. the same time is absolutely free from the
suspicion Of the faint of favoring certain
interests. Mr.. Harmon has been for many
years a corporation lawyer and a rail-
road man 1t would be but natural that
he would be a trihe biased in certain di-
rections. Mr. Harmon does not represent
the sentiment of the people of Ohio, and
we must see to it that he is not reelected

to the candidacy for President upon the
