Western Traffic Association Members Tiring of Restrictions, Cirieaco, 1L, Nov. 18.—~Formal notize was recoived by the general manager of the In- diana, lilinois & lowa road today that tho Atehison had decided to adopt tho basis of divisions ordored by Chairman Walker of the Western Traffic association. This is an indication that, notwithstanding the pros- ent truce, the three I's will be compelled euter suit against the Atehison enforce the provisions of its contract. The Atchison 1s in tho embar- rassing position of being bourd by a contract to do what it is ordered not to do by un asso- ciation, of which it is one of the strongest mombers, The eastest way out of the difti- culty is to test the binding force of the con- tract by logal proceedings. If the contract will hold, the Atchison is bound by a higher authority than that of the association, and it is understood that 1he Atchison would not vo displeased at this outcome of the case, T'he commission system as applicd to ps- songer busiuess continues to spread. The latest discovery in this line is that a com mission of & is being paid on tickets from Kunsas City to New York, reading over the Wabash to Detroit, the Grand Trunk to tho suspension bridge on the New York, On- tario & Western to New York. As this is apparently too large an amount for the Wabash to pay on its own account, the ques- tion is raised as to what proportion is paid by its two connections east of Detroit. Tho indications are that the board of rulings will have some kard nuts to crack at its coming meeling, President Roswell Miller, of the Chicago, Milwankee & Paul road, said this after- noon: ‘“I'he reports of a car famine in the west and northwest are ail bosh. Nothing of the kind oxists at present. There is the usual shortage of cars in some quarters, but I can at least speak for our own road when say that the business is being handled with- out difficulty and without any serious delay.” “I'he fedecul grand jury mado its final report to Judge Blodgett this afternoon and was discharged. About twenty indictments were returned but whether any of tho railroads under investigation for allezed freight, rato discriminations were included in the number cannot be definitely learned. When the foreman handed tho fndict ments to the court the papers were taken away and recorded, and neither District Attorney Milchrist nor any of the jurymen would make any statement as to who had been dicted, though Mr. Milchrist hinted that uo indictments had been obtained against railvoad ofiicials. “Nearly, if not all of those indicted nro now under bonds,” said Mr. Milchrist. **None of the railrood men aro under bonds, thoso who have given bail being vetty of- feuders against the federal statuces.” Swindled Many Firms, Cmicado, IlL, Nov. 18.-A dozon or more Board of Trade firms assert that they have been fleccod out of sums ranging from $500 to $1,200 each by Siduey L. (Vinters, who, until a few days ago, was postmaster at Woodbine, Ia., but who now Is said to be fleeing from detectives, The fraud, according to the story circulated on tho board, was accomplished by means of forged pills’ of lading, which “were not suspected until discovered by the geucral claim agent of the Northwestern road. e — NEWS OF YESTERDAY.

THE BRAVES ABROAD FOR BLOOD. Some Rich Yarns Revealed ‘in Indi- vidual Statements ot Campaign Water ne—~Notes. Expenses — The New Yonk, Nov.16.~-[Special to Tne Bee, | When ox-Prosident Cloveland and Govern- or Hill appoared on tho stago of Madison Square garden during the campaign and shook hands amid the thundering yells of Tammany braves, it was generally believod the clatmant and tho aspirant had buried the hatchiot. ‘'he conviction grew and it wi carefully cultivated that Davia Bennett Hill had abdicated his claims to the nomination in 1802 in favor . of Cleveland, and as compensation for his magnanimity was to reccivo the presidential prize in 1506, just as his senatorial term was drawing to a ciosc. The effect of thus welding the warring fac- tions on the surface ‘vas magical. Cleveland rallied the independonts, and the svectcclo was prosented of the mugwump lambs bleat- enthusiastically in the lair of the Tam- v It was meat for tho tiger as the returns show. had the result beon declared ero the old wounds bled afresn. In deed they had not been healed. The Sun uumasked its batteries at once and voured a broadsida iuto the preteusions of Cleveland. Flower's romarkable —success startled a colony of presidential bees in his boutet. Convinced that the eyes of the democracy aro focused on his person as a deliveror, he bas, in a_letter to_his successor in congress outlined thoe policy that should be pursued by that body as essential to party Success in 1802, Mr. Flower’s aspirations for the presidency are quite aged. Tuoy blossomed in 1884 and have co been carefully nurtured with tho assistance of o large bank roil and adisposition to placeit where it would do the most wood. With tho vast politicai ma. chinery of the state_n his control aftor the first of January, with the breach betweon Hill and Cloveland growing apace, it is not improbable that Roswell Pottibone Flower will bea promiueut possibility before the next national democratic convention. A Striker Rewarded. Evidence of Tammany’s unalterable oppo- sition to Grover Cleveland s shown in the appointment, by Mayor Grant, of Thomas . Grady as'a police justico, The post is a lucrauvé ono. The salary is 33,000 a y and the term ten years. Mr. Grady will bo remembered as “the silver-tongued” orator’ of Tammany who took thestump agaivst Cleveland in 1584, Grady was a momber of the state senate in 1851 while Cleveland wus governor. A controversy arose between them becauso the governor refused an ap- plication made to him by a large delegation from this city to appoint a New York man emigration commissioner. The governor ap- pointed instead Wiliiam H. Murtha of Brooklyn, avd Mr. Grady notified him that r. Murtha weuld not he confirmed. Mr. dy fought the appointmenton the floor of tho senate successfully. The governor, i 1883, wrote a letter toJonn Kelly, who was then leader of Tammany Hall, asking him to keep.Grady at home néxc time and thereby increase his (the governor's) personal com- fort. When Cloveland was a presidential candidate in 1554 Mr. Grady resigned member of the domocratic state committeo and from Tammany Hall and took the stump against him. The elevation of Grady toa lucrative office now is consiaered a direct slap at Cleveland. Water Famine. “Water, water everywhere but not enough to drinie.”’ New York is face to faco with a water famine, and unless Jupiter Pluvius or scme modern’ rain compeller soon saturates the water shed of Croton lake, serious con- sequences to the people of this city must ensue. A comparison of the water supply now on hund and that of a year ago presents a startling condition of affairs for the people of this city to consider. The difference is so great thut unless a long, steady rain soon sets in a water famine will turn outto be a sad reality. The normal consumption of water daily is 105,000,000 gailons. By strict economy it has been reduced to 100,000,000 gallone. The limited supply causes annoy- ance in all quarters of the city, and unless speedy relief is obtamed it will be necessary to confine the consumption of water to do- mestic purpose: A Premium on Perjury. Jorrupt Practices” act passed by the legislature of 1390 is an effective promoter of falsehood. The law requires of candidal sworn, itemized statement of expense curred duriug the campaien.

The republican candidate for lieutenant gov- ernor expended 32,500, while his democratic onponent blew in $4,067. In the scramble for the fat offices in this city, some of the suc- cessful ones report expeuses less than 100, Oune of the elect to the office of coroner, a po- sition worth $10,000 and over u ' ve swears his expenses were only $30.30. Every one acquainted with the liveral assessments imposed by Tammany not to speak of the numberless side *‘pul on a candidate's purse, weil knows that the “sworn statements’ are attested falsehoods. General Roger A. Pryor, who was elected judge of the court of common leas, salary £10,000 8 vear, was assessed £10,000 spot cash by Tammany, ana $300 more went to the Voorhis organization. Thus more than the first year's salury was contiscated in ad- vance. In the light of this assessment, it 15 amusiog_to read the “sworn statement” of Congresdman-elect Bourke Cockran that his expenses were kept within £23. A Broth of a Boy. Speaking of Bourke Cockran, his caroor illustrates what pluck and inteliect will ac- comphsh. He is a big, jovial, irre- pressiblo broth of an Irish boy, with tremeng- ous head ana fowl, great working capacity and o highly trained gift of gab, Onco warmea up he mes absolutely eloquent, and is, perhaps, the most effective stump speaker in town.

She was visiting relatives in a new and very bustling Kansas city, and her coming had been announced in ad- ance in a paragraph in the loeal pape in which her’husband’s name and jour- nalistic honors were stated at length, “The lady arrived. Next morning on coming out after breakfust, she was astonished to find the street in front of the house apparently full of horses and carringes; and, making inquiries, she found that five private carriages had been put at her dizposition for the entive timo of her stay, Nor had the owners been content with sending her word, politely, that the *outfits’ were at disposition; they had sent the horses and carringes in season, and the drivers with them. Of course the lady could not accept them all, and, in ovder not to be invidious, she had to send them zll back for the time being. However, she did not fail of an opportunity to drive about and see the very fine country about the town, Within forty-eight hours had received no fewer than fifty calls | from people who came to p; pliments, and who paid them with great generosity ind enthusinsm.
