J. N, Faithorn, and L. F. Day, who,
■with /Traffic Manager Hannaford, of
the "forthtrn Pacific, were named as a
boai-n of arbitration by the Mexican j
Traffic association, came to town yes

It is, a.s is known, a dispute between j
the rail lines on the one hand and the '
' rail and water lines on the other from
the central part of the United States

water lines have for some time claimed
a material differential which makes
I thtir rates lower than those of the all- J
rail routes. The trouble developed |
until it was seen that a settlement of !
it could only come through arbitration j

I RECEIVES AUSTIN'S THANKS.
One man Who Wouldn't Beat v llail
roril.
li>re is the very newest story 13. N. Austin, |
v. ho waa formerly assistant psissenger agent j
cf the Northern Pacific, now general passen- I
ger and ticket agent of the B. & O. at Chi- :
cago. is telling tho railroad reporters who
■ drop in en him:
"Will. I know now there's at least one
man in the United States who won't beat a
railroad company when he tins a chance," ex
claimed .Mr. Austin, as he finished reading
a letter postmarked at a little town in Kau
i sits.
'"Early last September." continued Mr.
Austin, "I received a letter from a man in
■ , Km., inclosing one of our tickets from
Gsrrett, Ind., to Chicago, which the writer
said he purchased four years ago, but had
been unable to use, and asked that we re- |
fund the price of it. The ticke-t was gen
uine, and the stamp showid It was sold on
Sept. Ti, IS'J3. On Oct. 3 I sent the man a
. 'check for $4.30, the price of the ticket. To
ri ly my letter was returned to me with the
I following written on the bottom of It. as. you [

rode the ticket but once. I ask your forgive
ness, yours truely -
When Mr. Austin recovered from his sur
prise he wrote a lengthy epistle to the hon
i e&t man in Kansas, saying in part:
• • • This Is such a novel experience in
railroad life that I cannot let the opportunity ■
go by without commending Jcur honesty !
and approving the motive which prompted the |
return of mouey which was honestly earned
by this company. If you continue to pur- |

RETURN STOCK PASSES.
Railroad* Fall io Ag^ee Not to Unc
Them.
Live stock men will reap the benefit of a
failure of railroad men to agree among them
selves tha>t return stock passes shall not be
issued. Some time ago freight officials and
tho passenger men of all Western roads got
• together and concluded that the transporta
tion interests which they represented were
being defrauded of thousands of dollars an
nually because of the abuse of stock passes.
Theso havo been given for years in order that
the owner or an agent of the shipper might
accompany shipments of live stock to givo
feed and water and protect fallen animals
from others in the car. Now, it Is said, the
railroads do this work much better than the
owner can, and that there is no longer any
need of giving this free transportation of
individuals. Furthermore, it is stated that
theso passes havo become a regular article
of commerce, large shippers of stock selling
-them to any ono willing to travel on stock
trains, which often run at the speed of pas
senger trains. Persons buying such transpor
ation sell the return passes to the brokers,
■who receive for them any sum of money
possible. So it was agreed that beginning
Jan. 1 no return stock passes were to be
Issued. Now it develops that not all of the
roads are of the opinion they were at the
time of this meeting. Enough have changed
to make the enforcement of the agreement
Impossible, so Chairman Mldgley, of tho
Western Joint Traffic bureau, has given no
tice that it ia all off, temporarily at least.
He says h8 is in correspondence with the
back sliding lines and that he thinks they
will come into the fold again in the near
future. When they do the agreement will
bo enforced.

CHICAGO. Dec. 28.— Thero Is no sign of
Improvement in the Western freight situation,

chances are that the rites will be cut with

RESENTS UNJUST CRITICISM IN THE
MATTER OF THE PHILADEL
PHIA FAILURE.
APPROVES SINGERLY'S PLAN.
BELIEVES THAT BY IT DEPOSITORS
WILL GET THEIR MONEY
OUT.
THIS BELIEF IS VERY GENERAL.
All Creditors to Whom It Haw Been
Explained Satisfied With the
Proposition. m
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 28.—
Comptroller of the Currency Eckels
; wired a statement to this city tonight,
! in relation to the published articles in
j timating that political feeling had
i something to do with the failure of tht
| Chestnut Street National bank and the
\ Chestnut Street Trust and Savings
| Fund company, of which William ML
i Singerly, proprietor of the Record, was
president. The comptroller says:
"I have read with deep interest the
statement in a New York paper of this
date relative to the affairs of the Chest
nut Street National hank, of Philadel
i phia; its president, W. M. Singerly, and
the acts of the comptroller of the cur
rency in connection with the bank's
failure. I have no objection to any
i criticism which may be made of any
• of my official acts, which goes to the
I merit of them, nor have I any wish
1 to evade full responsibility for them.
The objection which must be made to
the article referred to is that by inuen
do it undertakes to show that the diffl
' culties of the bank were not dealt with
■ because of some alleged political affilia
i tions between Mr. Singeriy, some others
I and myself. The injustice of this lies
1 in the fact that it is unfounded and
places me in the attitude of introducing
into a grave business situation an ele
ment of selfishness and partisanship.
Nothing could be more foreign to any
thing done or attempted to be done.
"Throughout the period of time that
the affairs of the Chestnut Street Na
tional bank have been under supervi
sion, the conditions have from time to
time changed. At one time they would
seem to be better and another time
worse. The paper of Mr. Singerly ana
his allied commercial interests was in
the question to be dealt with and that
question was how to get it out, having
in mind the creating of the least dis
turbance to business conditions and if
possible saving the bank to the share
holders and keeping the creditors un
harmed."
In compliance with an order from
Comptroller Eckels, Deputy Comptrol
ler Coffin today called a meeting of
the directors of the bank to take stcp3
to send out the notice of a meeting
for shareholders to vote upon the ques
tion of going into voluntary liquida
tion. The law requires thirty days no
tice of such meeting, and Jan. 20 waa
the day fixed.
Mr. Coffin stated that he had 5,357
shares of stock, seventeen more' than
the necessary two-thirds, pledged to
vote for voluntary liquidation under
the plan proposed. Meanwhile the
forms for consent to the plan have
been prepared and will be issued to
morrow to the creditors for signatures.
The directors of the Trust company
probably will meet tomorrow for action
on the plan.
Mr. Eckels, according to Mr. Coffin,
will give his opinion as to the advis
ability of going into voluntary liquida
tion when he sees what success the
plan, which, according to a dispatch,
meets with his approval, has with the
creditors. Among the many creditors,
it may be stated, who have called at
the bank to have the plan of liquida
tion explained to them, not one has dis
sented. All agree that it is the best
way out.
In regard to the claims of the United
States, the city and the state, It is
stated that the first named is protect
ed by its bonds, on which it can real
ize, and that the city has the status
of any other non-preferred creditor.
In regard to the state funds, there are
some complications. Ordinarily, it
would assume the status of any other
preferred creditor, but, since the liqui
dation plan contemplates the accept
ance of Record stock and the state Is
forbidden by law to hold stock In any
company, there i 3 some difficulty, of
adjustment.
ECKELS APPROVES.
Slneerly Settlement Satisfactory to
the Comptroller of tlie Currency.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.— Mr. Eckels
today stated that in order that there
may be no delay in placing the Chest
nut Street National bank in voluntary
liquidation in case the creditors ac
cepted the plan proposed by the com
mittee having it In charge: "I have
instructed the deputy comptroller,
George M. Coffin, to at once call a
meeting of the directors of the Chest
nut Street National bank to pass the
necessary resolution and issue notice
to the stockholders for a meeting for
a vote to go into voluntary liquidation.
In addition I have requested him to
have the directors obtain at once the
signatures of representatives holding
two-thirds of the bank's stock, agree
ing to vote for liquidation when the
matter is presented at the meeting to
be called. Having done this, I have
stated that the comptroller would then
permit the bank to go into voluntary
liquidation."

EVANS ESTATE COMPLICATIONS.
Two Villa, mid Neither One May
Prove to Be Valid.
PARIS, Dec 28. — Rundolph Evans,
the only surviving brother of the late
Dr. Thomas W. Evans, the famous
American dentist, who died in Paris on
Nov. 14, arrived here yesterday even
ing with his wife and son. It is learn
ed from fe. reliable source that the
original will of Dr. Evans, drawn up
by Arthur E. Valois, of New ork, his
attorney, was so badly copied by Dr.
Evans, who also amended It and added
several codicils, that it is very doubt
ful if it is legal. It also appears that
Dr. Evans made two wills, one for the
United States and another for France,
which was sworn by the translator,
who demands 35,000 francs for the
translation and, having found differenci
in the two wills, he refuses to deliver
them until both are probated here. The
United States consul, however, insists
that the wills be handed to hfm for
verification. This acMs to the complica
tions.
Rudolph Evans, whfi, if his brother
had died Intestate, woijld ftave been en

CZAR'S COREAN CONTRACT.
Document Which Turned the Conn.
irj Over to Russia.
TACOMA, "Wash., Dec. 28.— The pecu
liar and remarkable contract under
which Russia seized the Corean fi
nances and customs and thereby forced
out McLeavy Brown, the representative
of English interests, recently, and
which so offended England that the
British Pacific squadron has been dis
patched to Chemulpo, near Seoul, the
capitol of Corea, has been translated,
and for the first time is now made pub
lic. The complete text is as follows:
In accordance with the commands of the
emperor of Corea, the Corean minister plenl-
Broncho Bill (of Skull Gulch, Arizona)— l jest busted th' tip off my cue,
pard, but I guess I kin make thi3 draw-shot without it.
potentiary in Russia, Mln-Yong-Hwan, hav
ing requested the Imperial Russian govern
ment to send to Corea an official versed In
flnanco whose functions would be to trans
act all tho financial business in Corea and
to take charge, at the same time, of her
customs, the Russian government acceded to
the request and directed Mr, Alexieff (describ
ed as a member of the great council) to pro
ceed to Seoul, where he recently arrived.
Now, therefore, the Corean minister of
foreign affairs and the Russian minister,
acting on behalf of their respective govern
ments, havo consulted as to the duties to be
henceforth undertaken by Mr. Alexieff, and
have agreed as follows: Mr. 'Alexieff is ap
pointed as adviser to the Corean finance de
partment and as superintendent of customs.
The various departments and offices of Corea
shall conduct the financial affairs appertain
ing to them, in accordance with the recom
mendations and directions of the financial
adviser, and shall supply him. with whatever
documentary assistance or aid of any kind ho
may require. The financial adviser shall spe
claMy provide a suitable person to superin
tend tho Corean customs in lieu of the pres
ent occupant of that post. The superintendent
of customs shall leport to him all expendi
tures and receipts. Should the financial ad
viser have occasion to lcavo h}s post ho shall
previously select a competent- locum tenens,
and shall make him discharge his duties
during his absence. The person so selected
must be approved by the. Corean government
and the Russian government. In the event
of the financial adviser returning to Russia,
he shall not leave Ccrea until a successor
has arrived to discharge his duties. The pe
riod of this engagement is unlimited.
It is dated Oct. 5. It will be seen
that Russia not only seizes the finances
and customs of Corea, but proposes to
forever hold the same, notwithstand
ing that in her treaty with Japan after
the Chir.a-Japan war, she specifically
agreed to join Japan in maintaining
the independence of Corea. and not to
do any act that "would jeopardize Jap
anese influence there.
McLeavy Brown refused to accept his
dismissal, and returned his discharge
to the kins and emperor of Corea. He
appealed to the British consul, and the
latter reported the situation to Eng
land.
SLAVE MARKET OF LONG AGO.
Georgia Town Contains Structure
Which Witnessed Human Auctions.
LOUISVILLE, Ga., Dec. 27.— 1n this quaint
I'ttle town an old wooden structure known aa
the "slave market." stands near the pub.ic
The building was erected somewhere in th-3
neighborhood of 1736, and its timbers of oak
are In a remarkable state of preservation. Tne
structure was built and used as a slave mar
ket, where owners brought their human prop
erty to be auctioned off.
Tho tower contains a be:i. wh'.ch bears the
French coat of arms and; the date 1372. The
presumption ■is that the. .bclljwaa ( f^ ur f r
from a French merchant ,'ship dur.ng the war
of the revolution and brought t<t the little
backwoods town, which £>r several years, in
the early days of Georgia, was the state capi
tal
The market proper Is about I<W feet square,
being a .pavilion-shaped >aff air'- with a small
office in the center. Fiom the date of its
erection until the close, of the Civil war it
was the center of some lively and unique
ECGTI6S. 1 *
A "slave dealer would arrive In town with a
long string of negroes, fche b*Jl would then
be rung for about a half- hour, i: and when the
planters and wealthy citizens! or the town
had arrived the sale prociS?ded. J , It Is roughly
estimated that thousands of negroes have been
aucUoned ofT at this place. and it was the
center of the trade In the southern portion
of the state.
A story is told of a betpitifuMDctoroon slave
g r rl. who, having escape* from owners who
did not claim her. was put up foT sale. She
■was about to be sold to a notoriously wiokpd
man, whe»i, in preference to living, she drove
a keen b'.ade into her bosom, and, despite all
efforts, bled to death.
The negroes refuse to approach the spot at
night, declaring that thousands of "hants"
frequent it. mingling their woes In one
chrvrus and making the n>£;ht hideous.
The only evidence of the ravages of time
on Hw market is a large crack through the
agr-d bell. Instead of peaUmt forth the note

purchasers, its tone :s row ;mme"odious end

DES MOINES, 10., Dec. 28.— The edu

association today adopted a recommen

unit of the rural school system, not
ing the failure of the attempt to se

purpose through the legislature, and
suggesting the work begin first in the
legislative districts. The recommenda

was adopted. The council favored the
making of normal institutes more ef

versity, of lowa City. F. C. Eastman,
Fayette county, connected with Upper
lowa university, is in the field. The
disposition of the association is to steer
clear of fights between book concerns.
Committees will be appointed tomor
row. They will meet tomorrow night
and report Thursday afternoon.
