The oha Uian on reassembling inquired
if a stmdar 1 fiviuM rate miirht not be es-
tablished the same to lie inodilied raised or
liwoii u circumstances should determine
fur jiu particular Mad llu also desired to
beat some expression from the railroad
nun m ust ili at nm of common point and
group rati s and luw they lienetited the
U eas rain laiser or shipjur
Mr Kipn stated in lvjily that group and
coiniuoii kiiiil rates were established as a
mattei ol i unvinienie to different sections
and paitsot the stat and because the
people ilemauiled them Shippers of grain
are given the saje rati from Uenisoii as
from Waco to ialvcston It does
not hurt the Waco htpper and is a great
beuetit to tho I Vinson shipper These
group rates equalize the price on wheal to
all our Texas niiers and placed them all
on an cqualiu
The chairman ncx inquired ifamile
aire rate was practiealiie
The Lcuei i coiseisu of the railroad
men wasthat n us n t aid numerous il
Ju rations mtc cited m proof

tion Mr IVirson statd thtt one road the

linn no rate ej siit since lau
ttar v 1 It doeqieii tdat salt was
hauled lrom tin mines iu Kansas
to various points m Texas for 37 cents San
Antonio irernii the same rate that Denisou
docs
The riiivad iuer tried to show that there
was no disi riininatiou in th u airainst Texas
salt makers but Judge Kejiii remarked
that it would epme a Lood deal stronsr
cr arirument than had bivu advanced
to convince linn that a read can justlv and
1 alrly charge no less for hauling salt to
IXnison than to San Antonio He dd not
understand the fairness of the interstate
roads making Texas a common point in
that manner He went on to say that the
opinion was general that tie railroads
so managed rates on interstate trattic as to
virtually make of Texas an outliiug dis-
trict tributary to New York and lioston
Commerce said he is ret mated b the
roads and tratio is diverted lrom its nat-
ural channels and courses at their whim
thus putting them in the attitude of the law
tnaklmr power which we all know has or
should have exclusive control over com-
merce That was the common notiop and
appearances seemed to warrant the correct-
ness of it
Mr Ripley stated that in his opinion the
railroads made little by running
around looking for tonnage
instead of attending to the
business in hand
The railroadmen agreed that a mileage
rate was not practicable under existing
conditions Such a system would injure the
lumber mills of East Texas more than it
would benefit the roads
Mr Mark Weiss of Heaumout a lumber-
man confirmed this idea by statements of
his own
There was a good deal of talk and discus-
sion between the railroad men on the one
side and Messrs Grcshan Ehrlichs Jand
Flood of Galveston over alleged discrimina-
tion in grain rates to Galveston the latter
contending that an injustice was being done
Galveston millers and the formar combat
ting that notion
The entire afternoon was spent in discus-
sions that took a wide range and seemed to
lead nowhere Mr Bartholomew sug-
gested that the commission formulate such
n plnn of reorganization of rates as it
thought desirable or hit upon some
dcUnito plan for submission to the trafao
f T W W y
men so that they could more intelligently
cooperate with tho commission in arriving
as some definite plan
Messrs Waldo and others of the railroad
men talked a good deal about existing rates
and the reasons therefor
A few minutes before 0 p m the meet-
ing adjourned to accept an invitation
tendered by the mayor to visit
the dam He also invited the
commission and visitors to a spread ten-
dered to them tonight by the citizens of
Austin The meeting will be in session
probably for several days There were
about twentyfive or thirty railroad men
present

GOTEM GUESSING
SPECULATION IN NAVY CIRCLES

Iurpose iu Culling Acting Bear Admiral
McCann trom Chili The Building
of Cruiser No 13
Bear Admiral McCann
Special to the Gazette
Washington July 0 The puri > ose of
the navy department in ordering Acting
Hear Admiral McCann lrom Chili to the
United States instead of returning him to
the command of the South Atlantic station
continues to bo a matter of no little specula-
tion among naval people The state-
ment made oflicially that he is
coining here simply to await the completion
of repairs to the Pensacola before return
ins to the South Atlantic station can hardly
be accepted as a true reason when it is re-
membered that the Pensacola is beyond
repair It is rather strange too that
Admiral McCann should be ordered to
New York and the Iensacola to San
Francisco if there were any intention
of sending him back in her to command the
South Atlantic station There is no doubt
that his return has something to do with
Chilian affairs and it is equally true that
he will not return to the command
oT tho South Atlantic station
for some time to come if at all
No one suspects that his administration of
affairs in Chili has not been satisfactory
for he is generally regarded as one of the
ablest officers in the service especially well
equipped for the delicate mision he is now
returning from His views on Chilian
nfliairs are evidently wanted but
for just what purpose is uncertain
In view of his early retirement it is con-
sidered doubtful whether Admiral McCann
i will he sent back to the South Atlantic
station The orders directing him to re
in re > to an inquiry tin chairman slated turn home did not detach him from the
11at the commission would give fair notice
to all and that the railroads should obey
the law and thit violations could not and
woi d not be tolerated All oflieers ol roads

command of that squadron but as he can
not return until he gets a new
Hag ship and as it will be
autumn before the Newark will be taken
awav lrom the squadron of evolution for
that purpose he would hardly reach the
headquarters of his station at Montevideo
before he would have to return home for
retirement
Theie is a strong impression that Hear
Admiral Henhaiu recently detached from
Mare Island will soon be ordered to com-
mand the South Atlantic statiou
CruUer Vo 13
While Secretary Tracy has not yet
awarded the contract for cruiser No ll
the indications are that he will deviate
from his usual practice of accepting
the lowest bid for the sake of
expediting the completion of the ship The
Messrs Cramp it is believed will get tho
contract Their bid is higher by
Vu00 than that of tiie Hath
ironworks hut Secretary Tracy
is disiiosed to take the ground that the gov-
ernment could afford to paj the difference
for the sake of saving six months or a i car
in the term of her completion
main Attor Information
WtiiiN ion July ti It is believed heve
that the purpose of ordering Hear Admiral
McCann from Chili to the United States
was for the purpose of obtaining his views
on Chilian affairs A strong impression
prevails that Admiral Beuham will be or-
dered to command the South Atlantic
station

Special to ihe Gazette
San Cakios a T July Considerable
commotion was caused in the garrison a
few days ago by one of the Indian scouts
reporting that his companion a sergeant
named TiaYaVerGo had been killed in a
canyon of the Turnball range near here-
by renegades who had tired repeatedly
upon him also without effect however
Lieut J It Seybum of the Twentyfourth
infantry with his scout was immediately
hurried to the sceno cf the reported
brush followed shortly afterward by
Lieut Head of the Tenth cavalru with
troop K of that regiment Upon reaching
the place after a lively ride of twentytlvo
or thirtj miles it was discovered that a run-
ning scout named Loco Jim had tired upon
but failed to hit either of tho scouts but
that in the darkness the scout who brought
the alarm in had become separated from
the sergeant and hence concluded that ho
was killed
Loco Jim resisted arrest desperately but
a few shots brought him to terms not how-
ever until he had been seriously wounded
He was brought to the fort in an ambulance
and turned over to the United States civil
authorities to answer for the assault
Humors of Indian forages in New Mexico
and along the eastern edge of this Indian
reservation have recently kept troops here
awful busy scouting Tilers is no doubt
that one murder that of a man named
Whittisou who lived alone on Blue creek
near Clifton was committed last month by
lndians probably tho renegade kind or
some of the few Chiraeahuas who escaped
from Gen Miles and have been making Old
Mexico their abode since But of course at
such time the imagination runs wild and
every murder is attributed to the Indians
no matter whether or not evidence to that
effect exists or even favors such belief
With a population largelv consisting of the
lower class of Indians ahd many of them
notorious cutthroats and outlaws the In-
dian having no friends still gets all the
blamo for whatever misdeeds cannot be ab-
solutely fixed upon others

WITH A LITTLE GUN
A Lively Sensation is Caused on
a Passenger Train
HE WANTED TO ROB THE TRAIN
Anil Invited reliltoatillry Agent Ferguson
to Assist Mini A Lively Scrap With
OBicers 1inally Overpowered
Must do to Cleburne
The passengers on the northbound train
on the Missouri Kansas and Texas railway
yesterday evening were treated to a lively
little sensation just after leivingGrandview
for which the company made no extra
charge though it is one wlich ordinarily
is of a character that passengers could very
cheerfully dispense with
Just after leaving Grandview Pcni
ti ntiary Agent Ferguson who was on his
way to Fort Worth was accosted by a
strapping sixfoot individual wearing a
slouch hat a heavy black moustache and
deeply tanned The gentleman was evi
denaly a very intimate friend of John Bar-
leycorn for he had a supply of the festive
tarantula juice iu a bottle in his hip pocket
He got into conversation with
Ferguson and broached the subject
of robbing the train and became imbued
with the idea that Mr Ferguson must make
Johnnies acquaintance and presenting the
bottle urged him to drink This Mr Fer-
guson firmly but politely de-
clined Then the fellow remarked
Well my 41 is very anxious
to talk and if you dont drink Ill kill you
Ferguson pushed the revolver an elegant
Smith fi Wesson latest improved aside
and the fellow said Oh 1 know you
Youre a detective from Now York This
Mr Ferguson denied but the fellow in-
sisted he was right and that Mr F3rguson
must die While parleying Ferguson man-
aged to slip out of the door and told Con-
ductor Murphy that something must be done
with the fellovt The brakeniau happened
to pass through the car at that moment
and the man with the gun sliot into the
window casing which had the ef-
fect of considerably accelerating the
brakemans movements Three or four
shots were then fired into various portions
of tho car Things had hardly got quiet
when the porter entered the car and as
he did so a bullet shattered the
glass over the darkeys head Ho
soon got outside of the car aud
the man with the gun was then sole mon-
arch of the car After a whispered con-
sultation with Conductor Murphv he and
Ferguson made a rush upon tho fellow and
captured his gun after a verj serious
tussle during which they were compelled
to beat the fellow pretty severely in order
to induce him to let go of the gun which
action lent the affair a decidedly scraplike
appearance He was finally overpowered
and Fergusou clapped the darbies on him
He was brought on to Fort Worth and
placed in the calaboose and the authorities
of Johnson county within whoso borders
the scrap took place notified of the fact
Mr Ferguson says the fellow wore his
gun in a shoulder holster making it easy of
access and the man was evidently used to
gunplays When searched at the cala
boose he was found to have inl
in money a supply of cartridges and somo
other unimportant matters He gave his
name as Finley but when a reporter visited
the city prison at 9 oclock last night he
was sleeping the heavy slumber that fol-
lows intoxication and was not in a condition
to know whether his name was Adum or
something else
He is said to have made numerous aud
vigorous threats about the uncertainty of
Mr Fergusons lease of life aud announced
lie would terminate it for him with the
greatest of felicity at the first favorable
opportunity
A telegram was received from Sheriff J
It Rogers of Cleburne that he would De up
after Finley on the first train Mr Fer-
guson Conductor Murphy and several
other train men will appear against him
though it is not known just exactly the
style of charge that will be preferred
against him

tions of the chapel were grand in the ex-
treme Tho stalls of tha Knights
of the Garter were set aside
for some of the most important
guests and the smaller chapels were fitted
upas retiring rooms The royal standard

The Emperor of tiermany
London July fi The emperor of Ger-
many arose at an early hour this morning
and after a light breakfast he left Wind-
sor castle on horseback accompanied by
the duke of Connaught and a brilliant
staff with the intention of visiting Eton
Englands most popular college school
After enjoying a bracing ride the
emperor reached Etons parade ground
and there found a wellequipped bright
looking body of collegians about 300 in
number drawn up in line for his inspection
As soon as the emperor arrived the line of
young Eton volunteers presented arms in a
most soldierly precise manner causing tho
emperor to smile with approval As
the lads brought their rifles to present
the Eton school band struck up a national
anthem and the volunteers at a precon
certed signal gave three ringing cheers for
tho emiieror in which greeting they were
joined by everybody present among whom
were a crowd of Etonians of the past and
present
The emperor was evidently much pleased
with this portion of his days enjoyment
When the cheering had subsided the em-
peror rodo to the front of the line and
bowing to the young volunteers praised
the manner in which they had gone through
the drill which he said was performed
creditably The emperor added I am very
much pleased with what 1 have seen of
you If you are ever called upon
to draw swords in earnest I hope you will
do so in a good cause and that you will
show the same pluck and spirit which has
always distinguished British soldiers
The emjieror afterwards inspected the
college buildings and seemed to take much
interest i the manner in which the
Eton lads were housed taught and fed
The Eton lads after the parading of the
volunteers corps asked for permission to
draw the bridal carriage of Princess Louise
of Sehlieswick Holstein and Prince Albert
of Auhalt through Eton after the ceremony
this evening when the newly married
couple will be en route to Clivden

The Henry Clews Circular
New YorK July 3 Plainly it is out of
the question to look for the iinin diate real-
ization of the expectations of an important
upward movement in stocks tuat have been
entertained over since the beginning of tho
spring Every few days brings some fresh
cause of disturbance Tho apprehensive
feeling in Europe though doctored by first
one expedient of liaut finance ind then an-
other shows little abatement and has tins
effect of keeping up the extraordinary ex-
ports of gold
It is very many years since we have wit-
nessed such a disorganized condition of
financial relations between this eountry
and Europe as has recently developed Such
is the distrust prevailing at thn foreign
centers that numerous bills heretofore con-
sidered good drawn here on European
houses have become iu a large measure
unnegotiable and the consequent searcuy
of negotiable exchange compels a continua-
tion of the shipment of gold long after the
balance of our accounts with the outside
world has ceased to rule against us A con-
dition of things more calculated to check
business and to enforce liquidation in for-
eign commerce could hardly be conreived
Even if there were no real reason for this
distrust toward bills of exchange this sort
of discrimination is calculated to cripple
importers and exporters in was
that can hardly fail to disturb con-
fidence and produce embarrassments which
is dangerous treatment under present con-
ditions It is undoubtedly a gratifying
evidence of strength that wo have
been able without any signs
of suffering to so long endure tho with-
drawal of the European banking balances
which are usually allowed to rest here and
to pay them off in cash without a wince
but when our export bills become unsalablu
because of the distrust directed against tho
foreign houses on whom they are drawn
we encounter a kind oT gold drain of a much
more serious nature aud yet nearly all tha
June shipments amounting to nearly 20
000000 have been of this forced character
European bankers may deem it wise to tako
in sail in every direction but thoy cannot
be ignorant that to impose a violent con-
traction upjn these important foreign tradu
credits must precipitate more serious dan
gels than they are now seeking to avoid
Of course Europe has to provide against
tho effects of coming general deficient har-
vests with the natural bad results to inter-
nal trade and the controlling bankers may
deem it prudent to discourage general im-
ports so as to keep down the exports of gold
that must be made in purchase of the unus-
ual American surplus of breadstuffs Such
a purpose implies a bad dilemma but its
significance to the United States is far less
serious than it is to Europe To the rest of
the world it means depression and sacri-
fice to us it signifies the purchase of our
imports at low prices and the sale of our
food exports at high prices
The bearing of these prospects upon our
market for securities is perhaps loss dis-
couraging than might appear at first sight
It is true that we cannot calculate upon tho
usual support from tho foreign markets
Perhaps all we can expect iu that direction
is that the preference given by foreign in-
vestors to American investments i mid so
much loss on others will suffice to preveut
any additional return of them home Tho
speculative spirit in London and ou the con-
tinent is too completely crushed to allow of
any important export of our stocks to those
markets at present What speculation ex-
ists on this side for the time being must
therefore rest upon its own iudeierident
basis Butisthisa discouragiug feature
On the contrary is it not an element of
strength Europe no longer has any float-
ing supply of securities to send back upon
us which would be an important support
to a bull movement aud the fact that wo
have made such a clear liquidation of our
floating foreign indebtedness and must
stand a creditor nation for some months to
come would protect speculation from any
possible interruption from the course ot
the foreign exchanges
In view then of the foreign exchanges of
the still unbroken promise of an abundant
harvest and of the unexpected abundance
of money at this center after parting with
seventy millions of specie we do net see
why strong combinations of men should
find much difficulty in imparting a profita-
ble bull impulse to Wall street later on if
they desire to do so For the momenthow
ever the bears have a jiowerful hand
whichcalls for cautious buying and ontba
raids only
