S ee—————————— ) Bimply Talked with the Intersta‘e Commis- sion Concerai g Atohison Eebat 4 MUST HAVE MDR: FACTS TO PROSECUTE A 4 Uit on the Quostion of Re: Ings in Case Kvis 1oent to Make a Case ommending ¥roc 1 Obtainable. WASHINGTON Commerce comm/ssion has 8o far received no facts or proof that would warrant that body inetituting Judicial proceedings against the Atchison officials for making rebats payments. Expert Litt was in the ty a few days ago and had a short conference with Colonel Mor- rison, chairman of the commission. It was at the latter’s request, but the expectation of the committee that the facts would be set forth by Mr. Little sufficent to warrant the commission In taking action was not realized Mr. Little spoke of the affairs of the Atchi- son In a general way, but gave no particu- lars on which prosecution could be based. One of the comission'rs said today that the commission had not yet considered a case against Atchison officials, and that no steps will be taken until additional facts are brought to light. The case has been under consideration for a long time and an Investi- gation was recen(ly made in New York. The members of th mission, with the excep- tion of Commisioner Clements, are away from the city, and as the full board will not again be in session for several weeks a consider- able time will elapse before important steps can be taken. Com oner Clements when seen today sald: “What would constitute admissabl proof before a court I am unable to say. Mr. Little was here and had a short conference with the chairman, but left no papers and no evidences of any kind. He neither gave nor pointed to any evidence in respect to particular transactions or illegal rebates, and his connection with the matter has been that of one engaged (o look Into the affairs of an organization in the interests of the investors He certainly, so far as can be learned, gave no data or particulars whereby action might be taken. The tter is still under investi- gation by the commission in the hope of finding whether there are any facts that will bring the matter within the scope of our duties, The stat ment has been made that two, at least, of the commissioners declare that they will bring action against all offi- cials implicated. There is no difference of opinion between any two of the commission and the balance in such matters. The com- missioners will take action gether HOLDRE RAL RUMORS. “The Burlington Entering Stopped from General Manager Holdrege, when ques- tioned regarding the truth of the telegram from Sheridan, Wyo, wherein it was as- serted that the aftorney for the Northern Pacific road had served notice on Kilpatrick Bros. & Collins forbidding them to cf Northern Pacif ing the Burlingt )88 the tracks at Huntley in build- \ extension, sald that there was not a word of truth in the rumor. “We have made all arrangements necessary for the Burlington connection at Huntley. Re- ceiver Oates stat'd to me he would favor the connection, as well as the local management T cannot understand why the notice should be given, if it was given, and am inclined to think it Is a_canard. ‘e expect to reach Huntley about the 24th or 26th of September, and at present are not even in the vicinity of Huntley. Should such a notice have been served, I think I would have been informed of the affair. In any event, if it has been served, I do not belive it will delay us a single day. While no contract has been signed, we have had every assurance of being able to use the Northern Pacific tracks into Bil- hings.” “Why is it that the Burlington s antagon- izing Omaha and its candidacy for the state fair® asked the reporter. “The Burlington is not opposed to Omaha in the fight for the state fair. It is keep- ing entirely out of the fight for the very good and sufiici-nt reason that we are not particularly interosted in where it goes. Bither Omaha or Lincoln will sult the Bur- lington, and we mean to keep clear of the fight, Which promises to be a hot one. No, sir; you may say that the Burlington is showing no partiality, and we believe in letting that city win which offers the best inducements, ONE COMPANY HAS PROSPERED. Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Makes n Good Showling. NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—The report of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railway company for the year ending June 30 shows gross earnings, $3,195,883; operating expenses and taxes, $2,115,211; net earnings, §1,0° surplus, $20773, after paying a dividend of $57,252 on the preferred stock. President Thomas says in his report: When the present management recefved the prop- erty the road consisted largely of iron rail. It was without ballast, its Chicago terminal was contracted, its equipment was meager, 1t was without shops, its bridges were light wooden structures, and the compa was confronted with debts due or speedily ma turing in excess of $2,000,000. These debts were promptly paid and the disadvantages enumerated have all been removed or sul stantial progress has been made in their r moval. In comparison with what has al- ready been accomplished, the work remaining to be done seems trivial In conplusion it Is proper to report the ad- mirable conduct of the officers of the com- pany_during the recent strikes in Chicago, whereby both the property of the company and the persons in its employ were con- fronted with serious danger. All the grave emergencies which have arisen out of the situation were met with courage and skill on the part of the officers and employes, who remained with the company, and the thanks of the stockholders are especially due all of them.

Sept. 14.—Secretary Car- lisle, in answer to a letter from Francis D. Moulton & Co., New York., made an impor- tant decision with reference to salt imported for the fisheries. Moulton inquired whether salt imported for the fisheries was still free of duty as under the McKinley act. The secretary, after citing the section of the act of 1890 providing for the free importation in bond of salt used in curing fish taken by vessels licensed to engage In fishing and curing fish on the shores of the navigable waters of the United States, and also for the refund of duty to the exporters of the meats cured with imported salt, says: “While this is language which s omitted in the pres- ent law, it does not appear to be inconsistent with the provisions thereof. The department therefore holds the paragraph cited has not been repealed, and that dutiable salt in bond may continue to be withdrawn for cur- ing fish free of duty.” Windfall for Canat Boatmen WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—The boatmen along the Chesapeake & Ohio canal are agog aver the windfall which, it is sald, came to the children of George W.

The pro- gram was opened by the Allen Brass band, followed by invocation by Rev. Mr. Roberts of Newcastle, then a short address by the president of the day, County Treasurer Pom- eroy, after which an able address was delly- ered by Rev. Mr. McCool of Ponca.

Father Ducey Talks About the Disclosures of the Lexow Committer, NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Father Ducey of this city, in a signed article in the World, printed today, referring to the Lexow com- mittee’s investigation in this city says, in part: I am asked if the religious bodies of New York should not make every effort to arouse the varfous congregations to a sense of the danger to which this great city is exposed, and further if I believe the statement that the Vatican has taken a deep interest in the proceedings of the Lexow committee and its disclousures, for the reason that the fair name of the church and Catholic morals were endangered by the asserted afliation with the name of Tammany A few days ago I received a letter from a very distinguished dignitary very near the pope. The letter is dated Rome, August 17, and a second letter bears the date, Rome, August 22 “Both of these communications make reference to the Lexow investigation.

WAR MUST LIVE AS HISTORY Some Features of the Oonflict that Will Never Be Allowed to Die, |SSUES THAT SOUTHERNERS MUST GUARD Kev. Dr. Caso Blames Northerners for Koep- Ing Up Sectional Feeling for Thirty Years but Claims Honor for Southern Dead. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 14.—At a meeting of the Ex-Confederate Historical and Benevolent association Rev. Dr. R. C. Cave of this city was invited to speak. He made an ad- dress on the southern question, of which the following is a part: “We have held our peace for thirty years while the northern peopla have represented us as an ignorant horde of rebels and traitors, battling only to hold human beings in the bonds of slav- er; It it is true that the confederates were traitors and fought only for slavery, the best thing we can do is not to build a monument, tear down those that now stand, neglect the graves of the southern dead until the beating rain smooths the little mound to the level of the plain and nature covers the place with its broad manile of green, and with it the shame cf the south- land. But if these men who followed Lee, Jackson and Misscur! Price are not traitors and rebels, but true hearted patriots, vattling for their homes and matve land, Wwe owe to them and to ourselves to be firm and to fearlessly assert our rights. The time has come when our feclings and con- victions must be crystallized into a form that shall be thundered down to future generations, It is said that the war Is over, let it rest in peace; that it Is a dead issue, but that is sheer nonsense. The civil war, as a political issue, Is dead, but as a truth of history it can never die. As a political issue used to create sectional hatred and feeling it ought to be dead. It i not the south that has kept it alive as such for thirty years “The morthern pe: ple are the ones that have kept them alive. Théy are the ones that have appealed to the hatred for the south that they have in their bosoms to gain_republican votes. We are willing to let the war dis as a political issue, but as a truth of history we can ne afford to bury it. To the northern man who secks to frighten us Into silence there can be but one answer. Whatever rights the south surrendered at Appomatiox they never sur- wendered the right to speak the truth and to preserve the honor and memory oI the southern dead.
