Several of the lines dealt dircetly with scalpers and the passenger men had exhausted almost every measure of manipulating rates. Chairman Fiuley's policy of authorizing re- duced rates where scaipers had suf- ficien cut rate tickets to affect the business was freely discussed. One of the lines showed that the nger business St. Paul amounted to £2,000,000 annual Omalia, to $1,750,000, and via Kansas C £2,500,000.

A MOTHER'S SUIT. ociation, divisions come up for 8he Says the Prison Physician Caused Her Convict Son's Death. Avsury, N. Y., Noy. 11— [Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]— Mrs. Amida M. Woods of Norwi N. Y., arrived in town last evening and is about to commence suit Against Prison Physician Sawyer for causing the death of her sou in the prison hospital in Aprit last. Hor son was nineteen years of age when sentenced to six years' imprison- ment for burglary. She claims she received & pardon from the governor for her son an hour after hus death. She visited bim while 1 the hospital and found him in an exceed- ngly bloated condition. He claimed he had been compelled to take large doses of tur- pentine and he seomed to be suffering ex- cruciating pain.’ In her statement she avers that her son had fucurred the displeasure of Dr. Sawyer, that the latter thought he was shamming and threatened to give him a bellyful. ' A post-mortem examination was made at the hospital with undue haste and without the presence of the coroner, which 1s against the law, and in two days after the death the mother received his dissected re- mains, which were in a horrible condition. The woman's statement, is' accompanicd by aflidavits from the coroner and undertaker at Norwich concernng the condition of the body of her son, Bay Woods. The case will attract much attention when it comes to trial. Dr. Sawyer was scen by a local reporter and he claims the deceased was treated in the same manner as all dead convicts are when there is anything peculiar about their decease.

The prospects for republican success, T think, are favorable. This landslide is not wholly due to the tariff, but principally to general discontent of the farmers with the low prices of their products and the contrac- tion of the currency. The prices of every- thing took an upward turn recently, but not long enough before the election to change the minds of the farmers. Those,miuds were made up a year ago and nothing could have . been done to change th To such discon- tent and to the usual friction in off years I «consider the result of the late election to be due.” “Do you look upen reciprocity as the relief &l;‘l‘fll‘:‘“ for the alleged ills caused by the *Yes, reciprocity, will accomplish a great leal.” “‘Will the senate pass the election law this short sessioni” “That T can not say. not talk about it." *'Will you not say whether or no you are wvor of the passage of the election bill " “No, I prefer to keep silent on that subject for the present.” ——— Robbery and Murder.

South Dakota's Senator. Wasiixaroy, Nov. 11.—[Special Telegram to Tug Bee.)—There has been some talk in Washington the past two or thr about the chances of the various candidates for the senatorship in South Dakota to succeed Senator Moody, whose ter expires March 4 4next. It is very well known here that there is some opposition to the returnof Judge Moody, and that he will have great difficulty in coutrolling the legislative caucus. Gifford has been spoken of as a possible candidate, but his following here is not very strong and he is considered g u_posibiiity of no great power. For months Dakota people, in talk- ug over the situation, have intimated that in the cvent of the shelying of Judge Moody tho senutorship would fu all probabil- ity go to governor Mellette, who is one of tho imost popular men in thio republican party in the whole state. Of late it has been quietly hinted that Congressman Pickler kas been sotting up his pins for lis own clevation 10 the highor branch of congress and that he has so far succeeded in this as to war- rant his friends in their_claim that he has enough republican members eleet, of tho legis- iature, pledgzed to him to insure his nomina- tion. Pickler undoubtedly can control many votes aziong the farmers' allianco people, tho grand army and the prohibitionists which it would bo dificult for another man to control, but whether or not he has as many as bis friends assent is a question whicli is at least an open one, at this time especially, as there is no one present in Washington who is quali- fled to speak authoritatively on the subject nor is Mr. Pickler here as yet himself.

CuAvBERLALY, S, B.-Nov. 1l.—|Special to Tue Bee.]—Frequent complaints ave being made by people living on the frontier because of the action of the government in permitting the Indians to bave in their possession the very best firearms to bo obtained n the country. It is known that every male Indian at Lower Bralo and Crow Creek agencies has a Winchesterrifle and o brace of Colt re- volvers, in addition to knives and other im- plements of war. What is true of these two agenocies is also true of all other Sioux agencies, The present fanatical belief among tho Sioux and other tribes of the coming of a Messiah who will release them from the white man's encroachments may lead to trouble never dreamed of by the government, Itisa well known fact to the people of the frontier towns that Indians who do their trading in town always invest their surplus change in cartridges, which it is said they take home and lay away for “future reference.” o D The Godfrey-Smith Fight Obstructed. New York, Nov. 11.—[Special Tplegram to Tur Bee.|—Sheriff Goldner of Queens county will mot permit the fight between George Godfrey, the Boston colored heavyweight, and Ed Smith of Denver, to take place, The men were to meet tomorrow night in the new building of the Puritan athlotic club on Bor- den avenue, Long Islana _City.

They Pay Their Money and May Choose & High or Low Tariff. SO SAYS MASTER WORKMAN POWDERLY, Why the New York Central Strike Was a Failure—Powderly's Corre spondence With Lee—What He Really Said. . Dexver, Colo., Nov. 11.—The general ns- sembly of the Knights of Labor convened this morning with about 200 delegates present. General Master Workman Powderly read the annual address, after which the assembly ad- journed until tomorrow. A public reception was tendored the delegates this afternoon, at which several thousand people assembled. Powderly, in his annual speech, touching upon the econoraic policy of the government, said i part; *We have not, as an order, adopted the tariff or anti-tarift clause in our preamble and I do not advise such a thing now. We should, however, throw open the doors of our assemblies for the discussion of this great problem so that members may be- come educated in the basic principles of pro- tection and free trade. 1 recommend that on and after January mext it shall be permissible for local assemblics to discuss tho question which will bring the greatest good to the greatest num- ber—high tariff or free trade. Thus we do not commit the order to either school, and yet allow our members to take up for discussion and agitation the vital question, Upon the on of maintaining legislative commit- Powderly thought if the assembly do- 1 to maintain them it should also dec! y not be considered le- 'y faction and political dwelt at length upon Central strike. He said in ndividual effort in the direction of the ameliorating the conditions that were not easy of endurance had proved abortive, Pub- lic officials were appealed to here and there, but nothing ever came of it. The public press, from Buffalo to New York, was, with but féw honorable exceptions, under the in- fluence of the Vanderbilt system, with the chosen servitors of the public traveling on passes; with cditors of papers along the road subsidized in the same mauner it be- came impossiblo for workmen to get the pub- lic ear, or place their grievance before the officials of the company without subjecting themselves to dismis: Referring to the of the committ men to ralway officials Powderly said idea of meeting on a level of equality the emproyes for the purpose of di: the terms of ugrgement was repngnant to the men whose aristocratic tendencies were given birtn beneath the shadow of the house of Vanderbilt, and the means to put a stop to these importunities were sought for. The plan of picking off the spokesman in order to terrify others was resorted to and one after another was discharged in the hope that the lesson would be of practical value to the com- pany in terrotizing the rauk and file. Referring to his cortespondence with Mas- ter Workman Lee, Powderly said: “Many malicious persons and papers presumed to iu- terpret my language as being in favor of a couspiracy to get' up a strike either during the "presidential year or when the world's fair was in progress. What1l said was that if the organization could be kept up untit the world’s fair the New York Central would not be able to refuse any just concession, ‘Those who saw conspiracy in that sentence would, if they were just, soy that no just concession should be refused in any year. I am opposed to strikes, my viéws on the subject are well known; but if men are to gain anything they must be or- ganized. They must be prepared to strike, even though we never do it. If we must have strikes, then we should prepare for them-and not allow every subordinate to rush the order into them at a moment's notice without preparation. If 1803 should be the best year to gain what is just and right and proper for labor and a flat refusal should be given, that would be the best year to strike and not at a time when no preparation has been made. During the New York Central strike we had an opportunity to learn who our friends were among newspapers and found they were exceedingly few. We were given quantities of counsel, warning and cen- sure, Many papers friendly to us did not seem to understand the situation or necessities of the men who worked for low wages, Since the Central strike ended there were rumors of another on the Erie and the papers began to show there was no necessity for a strike on that road, for the managers and workmen were working in harmony. ‘There will always be harmony between em- Flu,\'er and employe when the former has it n his power to dictate what an employe shall cat, drink and wear, When the employer has the monopoly of the market he has also the monopoly of harmony that somo of our vapers prato about so much, Wo see the editor of a New York paper and president of the New York Central raiiroad operat- ing® the raising of funds to = feed men and women in Treland who have been robbed through exactly the same dia- bolical system that is now beginning to rob the workmen of America, That which is found worthy of praise in the Irish workman who strikes against injustice is damned in his brother in America, when he asks enough to keep his children.out of the poor house, order to prevent strikes, we must make every preparation to make thom successful when entered upon, and legislation in that direction must be enacted at this session or your com- ing general officers must be given'to under- stand that under no circumstances must they take part in strikes of any kind,” Mr. Powderly advocated equal rights for both sexes, the acceptance of the invitation to send delegates to the next farmers' alliance convention; cooperation of the Knights of Labor with the various railroad organizations in the work of federation.

Judge Tuley's Verdiot in the Live Stock Oommission Company Case. HAS NO CLAIM TO THE AID OF THE COURT. The Injunction Herctofore Issued Must be Dissolved—An Appeal Taken and a Bitter Fight in Prospect. Cnioago, Nov, 11— [Special Telegram to Tur Bree, If the complainant is seeking to obtain a monopoly of the business of sell- ing live stock at the Union stovkyards, or seeking to effect & combination by which it can control the live stock market, it can have 10 claim to the aid of a court of equity to ac- complish such purposes.” So spoke Judgo Tuley this morning in deciding a case of vital importance to the publie, and which fuvolved afight between shippers on one side and commission men and dealers in live stock at the Union stockyards on the othe A bill was filed by the American Live Stock Commission companyg, & combination of cattle slilppers, to restrain the Chicago Live Stoek exchange, comprised of buyers of live stock, from enforcing its rules, which forbid its members dealing with a corpora- tion situated liko the complainant. The general manager of the comiis- sion company had- a certificate of membership in the exchange and when he was discharged he refused to turn it over to a new manager, The court was asked to compel the exchange to issue another cer- tificate to the new manager, but the former manager subsequently trausferred his mem- bership to the commission company and that point was settled. 1t was alleged by the ex- change that the commission firm sought to control the price of beef and the commission company contended that the rules of the ey change forbidding its members dealing with corp: ion like the complainand was in re- ml.‘mm of trade and therefore against public policy. ; The court finds that the atliegations as to the complainant being a member of the ex- change are not sustumed and that he had never been a member legally or equitably. The¢ complainant not being a member of the exchange and having no vested rights, can- not. complain of the by-laws and there was no legal duty upon the exchange to deal with the commission company; thus the court cannot pass upon the validity of the by-laws. The only ground upon which tho court could control an_ organization like the dofendant would be that such action would be in re- straint of trade, or that the business of the defendant was publie juris and affected with a public interest, and the business of tho ex- change was not so affected. There was no relation or connection between the exchange and the corporation kmewn as*the Union stock yards and the exchange bas extended 10 service to the public. T know of no law,” says the court, “which will force one man to trade with another, nor any equitablagproceedings by which- it can be accomplished. The refusal of the members of the exchange to trade with persons not members may be in - partial restraint of trade, but these are the acts of individuals a the exercise of their rights, of that freedom of action that is necesSary to the carrying on of commerce. Theinjunction heretofore- is- sued must bo dissolved. As the only object of the bill is that of injunction, the bill must be dismissed for want o equity. An appeal was taken from the decision and tho case will be bitterly contested in the higher court. B e The Players’ League Meeting, Pirrsnurg, Pa., Nov. 11.—The National Players’ league held its annual fall meeting here this morning with all the clubs repre- sented.

The most important event in connection with the work of the signal corp has been the unprecedentedly successful establishment and maintenance of an elaborate system of heliograph signaling in the department of Arizona, longer dis- tances being attained than ever befor Re- ferring to the weather branch of the service, General Greely says the duties devolving personally on the forecast officer permit less than one quarter of a minute on the a in which to decide, formulate and exp! forecast for the state or district regarding an meteorological element, such as the weather, temperature and wind. Rarvely can a minuto bo given to predictions for any partic stato or distric otywithstanding all difti- culties, there were only fourteen occasions last year on which severe cold waves were not predicted, 93 per cent of all important cold, waves being predicted. Speaking of tornddoes, General Greely siuys it appears from data on hand that in no stite may a de- structive tornado be expected oftener than on an average once in two ycars, and that the area over which total destrnction can beex- pected is exceedingly small, even in states most linble to these violent storms, General Greely believes this is a matter of great publi¢ importance, and des to impress upon the people at large how small are the chances of personal injury or 10ss of property in this connection. In conclusion, he suys that tornadoes are aot so destructive of lifo as thunder storms, Guessing Matches Are Legal. WsINGTON, Nov, 11.—In responso to in- quiries made by Postmaster General Wana- maler under date of October 6 as to whether advertisements in newspapers of ‘guessmg’ contests in its various phises are in violation of section 3304 of the revised statutes, as amended by the antilottery actof September 19, 1800, Attorney General Miller has sub- mitted aa opinfon in which he holds in the negative, The attorney general says in the course of @ lengthy opinion: “If the offers were not madein good faith it would be a scheme for obtaining money under false pre- tensos, Being made in good faith the gifts are donbtless offered with the purpose of in- creasing directly as well as indirectly the sale of those newspapers and rendering its business of increased value to those who offer prizes.” “It is clear the statute is directed against ony such cnterprists as ure dependent upon lot or chance. 1t will hardly be contended the enterprise under_consideration was de- pendent upon lot. Was it dependent upon chance within meaning of the statute! It seems to me this question must be answered in the negative. In conclusion it may not be improper to say this law was framed with a view to the suppression of certain well known and wide-sproad agonoles for evil; and it. 1s certainly not wise to embarrass its execution by a strained or unnatural construction in réaching after practices uot thought of as the motive for its enactment.” Free Pork in Denmark, WasiiNaroy, Nov. 11.—The secretary of agriculture is in receipt of a communication from Minister Carr at Copenhagen In which Carr states that a petition was recently pre- sented to the Danish government by the lead- ing importers of Copenhagen asking for tho remo of restrictions against American pork.
