Louls to New Orleans are fixed by water compbtition of controlling force and that Thibodeaux and other points on the La Fourche ‘and other péins on the Texas Pacific & Thibodeaux or the South- ern Pacific are not entitled to as low rates as New Orleans, Donaldsonville and Pla- quemine, The roads deny that the lower rates give the metchants at the latter points an' illegal advantage ovetr shippers in the La Fourche settion: Wants Wheat Markets. Secretary Wilson has asked the Depart- ment of Commerce and Labor to, ascertain, through the consular service, suitable ma kets for Macaroni wheat, a hard grain ‘wheat common in some European countries &nd crops of which are increasing rapldly in the United States. Becretary Wilson Says the Macaroni wheat yield in this country this year, according to the most commonly accepted estimate, is 10,000,000 bushels, against 2,000,000 bushel year ago, and he predicts that next year's orop will be 25,000,000 bushels.

WATER COMPANY'S - ANSWER B. M. FairfieM Replies to City Attor- mey Wright Comcerning the Hydrant Rental Claims, B. M. Fairfield, general manager of the Omaha Water company, sald _yesterday in reference to the hydrant rental ques- tion and the matter of the appraisal of property. “I would like to say a few words about the interview with City Attorney Wright which appeared in The Bee of Saturday. 1 think no ome would suspect from the tenor of Mr. Wright's remarke that he was a lawyer. He claims In effect. that the fallure of the legislature to provide means for the city to pay Ita hydrant rental cancels the obligation. This sounds like good populist doctrine, but I venture a guess that It is not good law. I think no one will deny that the water company has furnished the service for which pay- ment Is_sought, and that it is a contract debt owing by the city. This would seem 1o cover the whole question as to the just- ness of our claim. “As to the appralsal matter, which Mr. Wright drags in by the heels, it not only has no relation to the hydrant bill, but it Mr. Wright 18 correctly quoted He has ut- tered some willful and malicious untruths concerning it. He fs certalnly mot f formed that the water company ‘has had the Inventory drawn up and ready In fits office, for weeks,” or for any other perlod. It is certainly not. true that ‘the tactics of the company have been those of dela; and that it has ‘hung back and interposed objections.’ The best proof of this is that the company need not have entered into appraisal negotiations whatever until after September 4. Mr. Wright talks as if the inventory of the water company's property were as simple a matter as taking account of a small grocery stock. He either knows better or else knows nothing at all of the gubject, and ls therefore incompetent to speak.” BUSY DAY IN POLICE COURT Attendance is Better Than for Some Time and Things Are Lively for the Judge.

That United States senators are not Alwaye preocchpied with the profound questions vexing the country at large was fllustrated the other day by Senator Dolliver of Towa.. Coming from ‘tHé west on thé same train with the senator and his wife was a very old and Infirm woman, who was traveling alone. She was scarcely able to provide fon her simple wants on the traln and the ordinary routine of traveling to her seemed great difficulties. Bhe was enroute from Californla to Virginla. The heavy rafns and consequent. washouts and delays multiplied her troubles and In fact the annoyances of all the persons on the train not a little.

He put me, fn a carriage with himself and his wife and drove, to the Pax- ton hotel, where they secured accomnmodu- tions for me.

In saying goodbye to them I told the,lady I must know her name s0 I could write to her. “'My name is Dolliver," lve at Fort Dodge.’ “‘Is your husband & merchant there? I asked. * ‘No,’ #he replied, ‘he is a senator.
