President Mellen, of th° Northern Pacific load, returned home yesterday morning- accompanied by Traffic Man ager Hannaford and General Manager Kendriek, from his initial inspection trip on the property at the head of which he was lately placed. The party, which left here two weeks ago on a special train, traversed the entire main line of the road and most of the branch *«tines by daylight. In the West, where tome time was spent, all the coast iranches were traveled, save that through the rich Palouse country, ] south of Spokane. Tbe private cars of 1 the traveling officials were picked up by the regrular train west of here and reached town early in the morning. Seen later in the day in his office. President Mellen expressed himself as pleased with the physical condition of the big property and the generally im j proved commercial conditions which I obtain in the country through which ' the rails of the company are laid. The road, he explains, he finds in first-class shape, and receiving a generous pat ronage, which is on the increase from ; day to day, not solely on account of | the big wheat crop in the West, but owing to the legitimate increase in tha, shipment of staple products.. The feel ing all through the Wes he found ma terially improved, much wheat and dumber and- fruit are being shipped, mr- mills having orders on hand great- I ly in excess of their capacity. Speak of the Klondike excitement, Mr. Mellen says there is every indication that a large volume of travel will find its way to the coast and up to the Alaskan gold fields in the spring, and that this will be a source of great rev enue to the Northern Pacific company. In add! Lion to this, the fever has stim ulated business in the coast towns especially Tacoma and Seattle. The improvements inaugurated the present year on the lines of the com pany, Mr. Mellen says, are either fin [ lshed or under way now, and the presi dent says the disposition is to allow \ the benefits to be derived therefrom ~> he enjoyed before others are made. T he coming year there may be, and p ß robably will be needed, improvements Smade, but it is thought that no rec .'ommendations or estimates will be sub rmitted until after the first" of the year Un a nutshell, Mr. MelJen says the road is a great transcontinental system is mti good shape to handle what business s being cared for now, as well as that whuv, h ur.l be giVen for Borne t come. k ■■ HILWAIK&B (JOT TlliO I'AKTV, lint (In- Itnte Given Vt us AlmoMt n Record. Yesterday 'morning there was a I strong smell of sulphur in the ah' I when it became known that a party of Italians had been carried on the fast mail trr".. dn the Milwaukee road from here to Chicago for ?3.50 a head. This rate caused some heart-burnings when it became known, and is the [6 west rate which has been quoted be tween the two cities since about twelve years ago when the rate did get down to ?1. The whole thing appears to have been a case of Charley horse with the Milwaukee on the small end and jproperly' buncoed. ! When these Italians who have been doing railroad work on the Northern i Pacific and Great Northern lines come here on their way to Chicago they al ways make trouble. It used to be th? f party rate cut, and now it is some thing else. The first batch reached town Tuesday and promptly visited every ticket office in the city. The Omaha, Milwaukee and Burlington roads entered into a compact to let the business alone and allow the weak er lines to.fight for it. The latter got together, ana as it is understood, the Minneapolis & St. Louis was to be given this batch of seventy-nine men at $5.75, which is just half the rate. ' The strong lines held off because their traffic men were in Chicago attempt ing tc end the present passenger de moralization. The Italians couldn't "heor $5.75. but would pay $5.25 or even $5.50. Even some of the weaker lines pulled off and refused to dicker longer. | Finally one road did quote them a f rate which pleased them, when thy ' Milwaukee men got their talons in and P the whole gang was hustled off to the , Milwaukee ticket office. Telephone 1 messages for authority to go lower were sent from four or five places, and even several wires went to Chi cago. Tt was an answer to one of thrse, it is understood, which sent the - final rate so far down. flu It appears that the Milwaukee peo rjple, to meet a rate said to have been BL^uotofl to the l°aders, set the figure at I ViM a head. The runner for one of I the weaker ltnes put his head in the Q qfflce and shouted a rate of $4. flat. when the doors of the Milwaukee » ticket office were locked, and when I the gang emerged a deal had been ■ closed ami the figure was handed about ft as being $3.50. Assistant General 1 Passenger and Ticket Agent Conley was in Chicago, and the people in the office yesterday were reticent admit ting only that the rate made was to . meet that made by a competitor. If the row was all over, it would matter but little, but there is no telling where -J~H«" thing wii^go, as a second gang will he here today, and somebody re marked "there are others." The rival S stron.c lines here feel that they have V}>een done*Vip, and are naturally keen it it. The weak lines have been 1 - (_ .— , - , ■ — ~ m^~~^_^~- -— O-—^— **=J is j.

Western Roada I nable to Get To- Ketlier on Passenger Uusiness. CHICAGO, Sept. 29.— The meeting of the Western lines, called for the pur pose of re-establishing confidence in th*> passenger situation, has adjourned without accomplishing much of any thing. The resolution introduced at the session yesterda.v.providing for the withdrawal of all excessive commis sions, was passed in a modified form, and no effort will be made to stop the large comrrispions that are being paid on North Pacific coast traffic. It was agreed that the excessive commissions in the eastern part of the Western Passenger association territory should be withdrawn at once, beginning to morrow. It was felt that, wfth the existing complications between the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line and with none of the transcon tinental roads represented at the nieeing, with the exception of the Santa Fe, it would be useless to at tempt to take any action regarding the transcontinental traffic. The decision reached today regarding commissions will, in a measure, simplify the rate situation between Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis, which has been in a state of demoralization for so long a time. The effort made yesterday by the association roads to induce the Wisconsin Central and the Great West ern to become members of the associa tion was renewed today, but with no better success. Notwithstanding the agreement of the Western lines on commissions to day the general situation between St. Paul and Chicago took on a turn for the' worse. It is said that tickets at the reduced rate made for the conven tion of underwriters in Chicago is be ing kept up.although the time in which the reduced rates vere to prevail has passed. There seems to be a mutual lack of confidence between the roads which are members of the Western Passenger association and these which are outside that organization which keeps the trouble en the surface all of the time. „ BURLINGTON ROUTE EXCURSIONS.

Demnrrer cii the Receivers of the Wisconsin Central Sustained. MILWAUKEE, Wip., Sept. 2 1 ).— Judg? Jenkins today sustained the demurrer of the Wisconsin Central receivers to the intervening petition filed by the Il linois Steel company, in the Northern Pacific foreclosure proceeding?. The Illinois Steel company, which has a J claim amounting to $50,000, with Inter- | c.st, has been endeavoring for the last * four years to fasten the liabiliti's uj> m one of the companies, but up to (h? pre- j £t-nt time it has not succeeded.

EXPERTS AT ISSUE A CONFLICT IX TESTIMONY CLEAR LY DEFINED IN THE LIET GERT CASE. HOG OR HUMAN FEMUR? TWO EMINENT OSTEOL.OGISTS TAKE VIEWS THAT ARE DIA 35ETRICALL.Y OPPOSED. DEFENDANT MAY NOT TESTIFY. NotlLing- Left Now for Him to Deny. Says tlie Attorney for tlie SimsjiK-e Maker. CHICAGO, Sept. 29.— Hog or human. That is the issue in the Luetgert case at present and according to the view of the case adopted by the jury is the fate of the defendant likely to be. If hog, he will in all probability go free; if human, .i^re is no telling what will happen to him, or rather what may not happen to him The defense prov ed today that the bone which Dr. Dor sey, the osteologist of the Columbian museum, declared was the femur of a human being, of a woman, and of a woman of delicate physical structure, as was Mrs. Luetgert, is nothing but the bone of a hog. It came from a hog of delicate organization, so said the expert for the defense, but he was nothing- but a hog- for all that. The fe mur was rather small for the usual run of hogs, but this was a small-bon ed hog, and there is no doubt of the origin of the bone. The witness who declared all this for the defense was TOO FAX T O FALL. Few ~I Mrs. Uppfrter.— Bridget, why is it tha t you break every vase you try to handle? Bridget— Sure, mum, it's because Oi'm so tall. If I were a dwarf, mum, they wouldn't break at all, at all. I Dr. W. H. Allport, professor of de ; scriptive and comparative anatomy in I the Northwestern university. He de clared in the most positive manner that the femur was that of a hog and that there was no chance of his being mis j taken in the matter. Dr. Dorsey, who I proved for the state that the femur was that of a woman, was in the court room when Dr. Allport was on the stand, and his face flushed when the expert for the defense declared that the bone came from a hog. He will take the ttand when the time comes for the state to offer its evidence in rebuttal and prove to the jury that the femur is not that of a hog, but of a human being, of a woman and a wo man of delicate physical organization. The declaration of Dr. Allport clear ly defines an issue between himself and Prof .Dorsey. They are the re spective leading experts of the defense and the prosecution. Both pride them- j selves upon their reputations, and a i battle royal will be the result. Dr. Ail- j port drew pictures of what he said ! represented a human femur and a hog's femur and explained to the jury the difference between them. The dif • ' ference was principally in the socket I of the hip joint, according to the wit- j ness. He declared that the knob or joint end of the femur in evidence was much smalle- than that of the average person, and that undoubtedly the bone was the femur of a small-boned hojf. j Tomorrow Dr. Allport will be cross-ex amined, after he has testified further concerning metacarpal, seamoid and temporal bones. Previous to Dr. Allporfs testimony. Prof. J. A. Weisener gave evidence in support of Dr. Riese's testimony in connection with the experiments with human bodies made in the vats in tho Luetgert factory early in the present j month. His testimony was of a cor roborative character. State's Attorney Deneen smilingly I declared tonight that Prof. Dorsey I would settle the question as tc the identity of the bones beyond Question. Luetgert and his lawyers were well satisfied with the showing made and ox- Judge Vincent said he could rot fpp the necessity of Luetgert going on the witness stand. ''There is nothing for him to deny," remarked ex-Judge Vin cent. RARE GOOD HUMOR. Luetgert was in rare good humor to day. He is recovering from the injury to his right leg and the assistance of j a orutch is scarcely necessary as an ; aid to his locomotion now. The tes- ! timtny in his behalf recently has had a reviving effect upon his spirits and the scowl which characterized his I features for a month past has given , j way to a decidediy cheerful expression. I Lu&tg^>rt again expressed his earnest i desire this morning to go on the jury ; stand. He is desirous to "talk to the i jury," as he expresses it. His law i years, ex-Judge Vincent and Attorney 1 I Phalen apparently feel somewhat ' i nervous about putting Luetgert on the stand. The big sausagemaker, how ever, is as restless as an Indian in his demands to be called. He wants to ; "get even" with the police and some ■ •j' the people who have lied about him. ; ss he declares.

The crush of humanity afthe crim inal court building today was greater than upon any other occasion for the past two weeks. A report spread that Luetgert himself would be called to the witness stand toda^y tt> tell his story to the jury- People bg the hun dreds struggled to gain admission to the court room.

There was much profanity over this ruse on the part of the male victims, while the women and girls stood at the elevator shafts and scolded till they were hoarse. HUMORS OF THE GOLD CRAZE. Practical Jokers Salt a River Bank With Hi-ass lilin-x. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 28.— The discovery of quantity of brass filings on the banks of Paper Mill creek, near Camp Taylor, in Marin county, was the cause of another gold craze within the last few days among a large number of local residents, many of whom have been busy com puting their prospective wealth and will only awake from their dream to realize that a hoax has been perpetrat ed upon them by a quartet of practical jokers. The Harmonic verein, composed of some of the most prominent Germai: residents, had its annual outing last week at Camp Taylor, and was very largely attended. Capt. Robert Wien eke. Max Duenow, William Piageman and Henry Sanders, four jolly mem bers, designed to have some fun at the expense of the rest. They took I with them a quantity of brass filing?, went quietly to the bank of the cre?k and salted the gravel liberally with the yellow metal. Later in the day a party of. the picnickers went for a stroll along the creek. Placeman was I with the party. Suddenly he appeared to have his attention attracted b> some gravel he had kicked with his | foot, and stooping picked up a lot of it, gathered in his handkerchief and showed his companions the bright grains of metal glittering in the gravel. They picked up a quantity of "dirt" and all went back to the camp to tell of their find. There was a crowding around the table upon which the gravel was spread and a craning of necks. The news spread at once that another Klondike had been discovered' I on Paper Mill creek and every one I of the picnickers hurried to the creek, | carrying empty coal oil cans, tomato cars, tin pails, buckets and 7 whatever else they could grab that would hold the gold-bearing grnvel. They all j brought loads of it to the city! Ar j rangements were made to form a com- I pany. with the discoverer as president, I the officers of the society to be direc tors and all the members sharehold ers. Ex-Judge Julius Reimer has drawn j up articles of incorporation and had | an appointment with the owner of the i land to make arrangements' that_the I company may prospect and work the rich grave! claims.

MASTODON'S TUSK DUG UP. Discovery of Scientific Interest Made Near Ratavia, W. V. BATAVIA. X. V.. Sept. 27.-A strange dis- j covery has been made in Batavia and fur- ' iher excavating, it is believed, may result in the unearthing cf the bones cf a prf-his- | toric monster.

It was while digging a ! | grave for the animal just south and we:t of I the farm house that the remains cf the mon | ster were found. The men had fug down to a depth of three feet when the shovels struck an ob struction which in being pried up with a rail ■was broken. It turned out to be an ivory tusk and in a splendid state of preservation. F.rom its condition it has evidently been in that spot fcr hundreds of jvars. "The tusk !

BUT A SINGLE SESSION HELD. GREATER PART OF THE DAY AT COLUMBUS DEVOTED TO EN TERTAINMENT. MILK SUPPLY FOR GREAT CITIES. Radical Paper on the Subject tlie Feature of the Morning Ilusi ness Meeting. COLUMBUS, Sept. 29.— But one ses sion was held today by the convention of mayors and councilmen and that was devoted to the reading of papers. A split is possible over the question of municipal ownership of gas, water, electric and traction franchises, as the delegates are not all of one mind. Many are opposed to the convention taking any decided stand one way or the oth er, and this difference may develop sharply, in the event of permanent or ganization, when the election of offi cers is reached. It was 11 o'clock when the confer ence was called to order this morning. The first speaker was Mayor Silas D. Drake, of Lincoln, N. J., the "boom" town that has three women delegates from its council here. He introduced to the convention Mayor J. A. John son, of Fargo, who argued for uniform ity of state law r s partaining to munici pal organizations, and urged upon the conferenece the forming of a permanent committee on legislation, one from each state to formulate a plan whereby the legislatures may make their mu nicipal legislation uniform, as to po lice powers, the control of the social evil— gambling— and the reformation of criminals. The appearance upon the platform of Hon. Josiah Quincy, mayor of Boston, was greeted with welcoming applause, accorded no other speaker, so far. His address was scheduled as "Municipal Affairs as Administered in Boston," but its scope was much wider. It pre sented a clear analysis of the differ ences between federal, state, urban and rural administration, and defined the POKsibilitites of municipal public ser vice, as almost limitless. With reference to Boston, the strong point in its municipal scheme, said the mayor, is its vesting in its chief execu tive powers almost coordinate with those of the president of the United States, especially the power of removal from office of any of his appointees. In Boston there are thirty-three heads of departments thus under the direct control of the mayor. The power of removal is rarely exercised, but its tendency is to make the government strong and honest. A feature of the morning session that aroused great interest among the delegates was the reading of a paper contributed by Nathan Straupp. of N^v j York, on "The Influence of a Pure Milk Supply on the Death Rate of Cniidren." I Most of the municipal officials here were conversant only to a limited ex tent with the work being done by Mr. Strauss in New York. Naturally" they wore eager to learn all its details, and listened to the recital of them with close attention. The paper was read by Mr. Ford, of New York, and its ( j:t-ning statement that "There is prac tically no milk delivered for general consumption in cities that is fit to be led in its natural stale to young chil dren," was sufficiently startlirg to chal lenge attention, if not contradiction. The paper closed with the following appeal: "I think I have fairly demon strated the proposition that many thousands of infant lives are annually sacrificed by the neglect to supply, for the nutriment of children, milk which j has been subjected to the process of Pasteurization. I hold that neglect to be criminal, and I leave it to you to fix the responsibility for it. We pun ish murder with the penalty of death, and yet we allow murder to be com mitted by the wholesale in every popu lous community of this land with no | thought of its punishment, and little | thought of its prevention." After the noon adjournment, there was no further session of the conven tion today. The afternoon and even ing were riven over to s : g-ht seeing anrl the entertainment of the delegates. When the convention meets tomorrow the report of the committee on per manent organization I 3 likely to cause a sharp discussion. Friends of B. F. Gilkir.son. publisher of the City Gov ernment, are msking a persistent can vass for his tlecton as salare'i secre tary of the permanent organization, but as both he and his publication are pronounced advocates of municipal i ownership of public service plants much ccoFition t6 his election is de veloping-. The conservative element in the conference believes that any per manent organization, that may be ef fected should not be operated in the interest of either side of the question. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION Effected by the National Irrigation Congress «t Lincoln. LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 29.— Beginning, this morning, with a short recess at r.oon, and continuing until late tonight, the delegates to the national irrigation congress were surfeited with payers on irrigation topics and discussions which followed their presentations. The congress today took aeticn looking to its indefinite continuance and prt> viding for the incorporation of the na tional association and adoption of ti constitution and by-laws. This action, which was broached at the meeting ai Phoenix, Ariz., a year ago, has been delayed through a failure heretofore to recognize the congress as a continu ing body or to keep intact a record oi former proceedings. Ex-Senator Carey, of Wyoming, who was honored by a unanimous election to the presidency emphasized the necessity of making the association a distinct and perma nent organization. Interest in the sub ject, he said, was growing each year, and the enterprise itself was broaden ing and so developing as to compel recognition of the whole nation. The sessions today were marked with an increased attendance, and papers as a rule were pointed arid interesting. An extremely long dissertation on rain making by a local theorist had the ef fect of crowding out of the programme a number of papers, among them that of ex-Secretary Heintz, which, how ever, was formally announced and will form a part of the printed report. R. H. Brcat, of Minneapolis, spoke en "Irrigation in Minnesota and the Two Dakotas." The committee on credentials made its report this morning, after which the following officers were elected by acclamation: President. Joseph M Carey, Cheyenne, Wyo. ; first vice pres ident, S. A. Ccchran. South Dakota; second vice president, L. W. Shurt liffe, Utah; third vice president, S. M. Knox, Princeton, 111; secretary, Thom as E. Trost, Minneapolis; minute clerk, O. S. McCutcheon, Michigan; reading clerk, Col. H. D. Maxson, Reno, New file clerk, P. C. Erickson, Nebraska; press reporter, R. J. Cclyer, Los Ange les, Cal. The selection of treasurer will be left to the executive committee. The feature of the afternoon session was an address by Hon. W. J. Bryan. &c fae- /9 ___, . _ siai Ta S~^v s / «- _ *s ea WANLADS.
