As it 15, Chicago is the only oneof the gateways where the' sum of the locals does not equal the through rate. The through rates from all western points to the seaboard are thesame via all gateways, but look at the ad- vantage St. Louis his owing to its differ- ential on local rates. From many points in Nebraska and lowa it is neaver to Chicago than to St. Louis and yet under the recent decision of the comrmission local rates from all western points are 6 cents a hundred less than to Chicago. This diverts an immense amount of grain to St. Louis which would naturally come to Chicago. The St. Louis people also have the ad. vantage that they can receive the grain and keep it for months without demurrage charges and then ship it cast on exactly the same rate it would have taken if it hud never stopped i trausit. In Chicigo we are sub- Ject vo demurrage charges after forty-eiglt hours and it it does not continue t before seventy-two hours it must take the local rate, 3 conts higher than the proportion of the through rate. The practical effect of this incquality is that the St. Louls grain mer- ain as long as he pleases g0 it must be sold within six hours after inspection, no matter whether the market is up or down —cither this or pay $ cents more a hundred in addition to eleva- fon to the do so, It . im, and with perfect justice, Chicago should simply be put on an equality with its competitors. * This can be done L inducing the commissioner to malke a differ ence of ouly 5 cents a hundred in the local tes as between St. Louis and Chicago from estern pol ad of the present 6 nts. Wo perfectly willing to yield our position if it can be shown it not porfectly just and proper, and I belieye the interstate commerce commission will look at it us wedo. The reduction in rates ordered by the Kansas commissioners will not affect the question to any extent, It amounts to a %5 per cent reduction and is operative only on lines wost of the river. From another reliable source it was learned that not only wonld the Kansas roads contest in courts the vights of Kansas commissioners toreduce the rates as ordered, but that all weste would unite in con- testing of the inter- state commerce commission to compel the reduced rates as recently ordered. The contest will be heard on ‘the Minnesota granger decisions, in which the supreme court decided 1o power could compel roads to transport property ot less than cost. - The cost per ton 1o the western roads on grain is from 7 to 9 mills, The decision, it is claimed, will reduce this from 54 to 7 mills per ton per mile, That Ninety Days' Contract.

It was a pretty high protective tariff, and there were some points in it on which he would be willj viel still it had been reduced in several im portan: particulars below the bill passed hy the sen- two years ago. It scomed that the te ought to make more progress with the bill, Mr. Vest said the senator from Ohio had stated that the bill was acceptable to his side of the * chamber, The Rec ord did not show _that be the On the other hand the most sive attacks made upon the bill had con from that side of the chamber and from a state that gave the lavgest majority for the republican ticket m the lato election, The Record would also show that a proportion- ately larger number of democratic senators had responded every time the roll had been called. ~ He gave notice that every item in the bill would be discussed, if necessary, unless it was prevented by force, applied in- some fashion, The discussion having turned on. the de- preciation of farming property, a statement was read by Mr. Vest as to such depreciation in some of the best farming counties in Pennsylvania, M.~ Cameron to remarked that while the statement was correct, it was not, in his opinion, the cause of it. Its cause was the demonetization of silver in 1573, Ever since that act the price of land and farm products had decreased, Since the passage of the sil- ver bill prices had risen somo 20 per cent. M. Teller said that as to the question of haste iu passing the bill he was not disposed to deny its opponents a fair and fr fon. Fe was wiliing to stay and discuss the tarift question or allow it to be discussed, be- ise he believed the Amevican poople wanted to kuow whether the bill was a proper reyisicn of the tariff, Finaliy a vote was reached on Mr, McPher- son’s amendment, and it was rejected with- out division. The paragraph relating to having been reached Mr, Vest said it, was a bold, nuked attempt by Pittsburg manufac- turers to create another monopoly in their own interests against the consumers of the United States, ~He moved to reduce the rato from 2 210 cents per pound to i cent, the present duty. Mr. Edmunds asked leave to offer an ovder to be printed and to go 0 It is to the effect that during the consideration of the taiff bill no senator shall speak more thun once and not longer than five minutes on or in respect of any one 1tem or any one amend- ment without leave of the senate. Such ve is to be granted or denied without de- bate and without any other motion or pro- ceeding except such .as _ relates o pro- curing & quorum. Until the bill should have be 16 through with to the point of its third reading, no gencral motion in U to it, other thin to take it up, is in order. All appeals arc to bo_determined once and without debate, Finally Mr, Fd- minds withdrew the orde ing "he would present it again tomorroy A conferenco was ovdered on the Indian ap- propriation bill and Messrs. Dawes, Plumb and Call were appointed conferecs, Mr, Allison, from the committes ou appro- priations, reported with amendments the house bill for additional clerical force in the pension oftice, and gave notice that he would some time tomorrow ask the senato for its consideration.
