Va.. with the West Virginia Central. ".Tne Great Northern coast line and Northern Fac'uv - line to Sumas were the only lines of railroad out of Seattle, Wash., which ;w-ere open Saturday. For three hours during the day even these lines were blocked by snowslides.

T., announce' that the Bock Islxind and Choctaw Railroad Companies have determined on the extension connecting St. Louis via Kansas City: with Galveston via Dallas, the new line to cross Indian Territory from north to south.

The Dallas-Galveston line is now being constructed, as are also parts of the extensions in Indian Territory. Attorney General Crow', of Missouri, has filed In the State Suoremo Court four wriU

In equity, one each, against the Burlington, the Rock Island, the Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific railroads, seeking to restrain them from enforcing the "reconsignment charge" on grain delivered by any of the roads named for storage in Kansas City or shipment out of that city on a. line other than these four named.

An Inquiry Into rates on import and export freight was made by the Interstatecommerce Commission at Boston on Saturday. The feature of the hearing was a statement of conditions governing the export and import trade through the port of Boston by President Lucius Tuttle, ot the Boston & Maine Railroad, who was asked to state in a general way his reasons for making a lower import rate than a domestic rate. He said that the reason was, in brief, competition. Further, he said that Boston is, to a certain extent, owing to its Insular location In the extreme northeastern corner of the country, dependent upon the lines of railroad which extend only to the Hudson river, and which in turn depend upon good relations with the great trunk lines which penetrate the heart of the United States, and which are competing with the trunk and transcontinental lines favoring New York in export traffic. THERE IS A BEEF TRUST

SICH IS THE FIXniXG OF A SPECIAL COMMISSIONER IX MISSOURI. Scvernl Big; 'Packing: Companies Charged with Combining to Maintain Prices. . JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 2.-Special Commissioner I. IL Klnley, of Kansas City, appointed to take testimony In the ouster proceedings, of Attorney General Crowe on the charge of the existence of a beef trust, filed his report in the Supreme Court to-night. r It find that, the Armour Packing Company, "Nelson Morris & Co., Swift & Co.," the Hammond Packing Company, tho Cudahay Packing Company and the ßchwartzschild & Sulzberger Company are guilty of entering Into an agreement to fix and maintain the prices for the sale of dressed beef and pork in Missouri, not all ef the companies, however, operating in St. Joseph, Kansas City and St.' Louis. It is set forth that prices were fixed through agents, managers and solicitors and many times by managers of refrigerators In these dtles. The Henry Krug Packing Company, of St. Joseph, was found not to have been in the combination and consequently the report will release it from legal proceedings. Regarding findings as to meat sold In St. Louis the report says: "I find that the Armour, Swift, Cudahay and Hammondpacking companies between Aug. 21, 15&3, and May 9, 11W2, at St. Joseph, are guilty of having been parties to combination and agreement and confederation, and conspiracy to fix and regulate and control and maintain the fixed or list price on dressed beef and fresh pork sold through their respective coolers In St." Louis to the butchers' trade and consuming public at -that place, and that they did so ask. sell and receive the price so fixed from said butchers for dressed beef and fresh pork sold to them. They cannot plead that the managers of their coolers and city solicitors who carry on the business for them did it without their knowledge and consent. Local agents of the dressed beef companies did it and all know it, and their knowledge is the knowledge of their companies and their acts are the acts of their companies. "It appears from the evidence and I find that , the . corporations who .are, the defendants atSL.JQ3Cph, St. Louis and Kansas City sell and offer to the trade at each point 55 to per cent, of the dressed beef nanuieu ana irom w to w per cent, oi tne dressed pork." . I'JUDICIARY DEBAUCHED. Charge Made by a Justice of the Xew York Supreme Court. BUFFALO, N. Y., Jan. 3.-Justice9 Edward W. -Hatch and John Woodward, of the appellate division of the New York Supreme Court, this afternoon met a committee representing the bar of the Eighth judicial district, with reference to a request mado by the committee that these two Judges resign their places on the appellate division and return to the eighth district to perform the work of trial Justices. It I asserted that the Eighth district has been impoverished by the action of Governor Odell in assigning Justices for appellate division work in New York city. Judge Hatch said: "The present conditions have been made so only by the operation of pure political power and the giving of places in these divisions as rewards for political relations. This appellate division has been broken into with a crow-bar. And having been successfully burglarized you ask Judge Woodward and myself shall be made the victims of that situation. There has been debauchery of the Judiciary of this district. It fails to stand independent and alone, but leans on the executive power and is consequently subordinated to it."Tho committee resolved not to press Judges- Woodward and Hatch for a decision at this time.

Tho husband had died from consumption yesterday and the lntant grandson nad succumbed to In sufficient nourishment. DEFINITION OF SOCIOLOGY. It Is What Is Left After Certain Inrestljcntors Have' Finished. . President Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton. Now. mark you. I don't mean sociological conditions, because I don't know what so ciology Is; moreover, I am convinced that there isn t a man living who does; whenever a man Is studying Anything queer he calls it sociology, tor example, these peo pie who call themselves alienists are at the center of sociological inquiry. And the fellows who call themselves I have forgot ten what they call themselves, but they go Ground and live In penitentiaries and try and cet the point of view of the convict. and get it so perfectly that they can never get it out of their neads arterward. I had one of theso gentlemen one of the. most expert end curiously learned of them spend a whole evening with mo In my study, and when the evening was over I was hypnot ized. I felt exactly as though It would be congenial to me to go out and commit a crime. I felt a certain hunger for Irregu larity, and I examined my state of mind with the curiosity of a surgeon using the ecalpel. Now, these fellows are sociolocists. and 1 am afraid or them: they cet me in an abnormal condition; and sociology, a-1 understand It, Is everything lert over after the political economist and the student of politics are through. The political economist Is talking about something definite and something in particular; the student of politics Is talking about something deiflnlte and something In particular, but the sociologist is talking about anything he pleasos. He doesn't define or limit his scope in the least, and he takes all the Irregular thins as hia Bpeclai pet product.

It TvriHts nnd Dilly-Dallles -nnd Changes Its Channel. . Willis Gibson, in Scribner's Magazine. There Is little reason, however, for a settlement In these parts to bestir Itself. Its future is too uncertain. The town that Is on the river this year may be on. a useless swamp the next; the town that is five miles inland, with. no. dream of the. Mississippi, may be awakened any morning by tho roar of ä steamboat whistle. .There are many, points .In desperate .straits today. Tlptonville, Tenn., a town of more than ordinary prosperity, depending altogether on the steamboat service, once on the main "channel, now finds herself, because of a cut-off, on a shallow backwater which goes dry as her streets In low season. ... Which brings . me again to the river's vagaries. To begin, its crookedness is something appalling.. Approaching Cairo from the north by boat, the stranger,, seeing the city's elevators and church spires within a stone's throw, is pretty certain to rush into the cabin to assemble his belongings when he has still. before him a tortuous ride of two hours. Yet this . phenomenon is not wholly without advantages.The citizens of before-mentioned Tiptonille who misses .the up-bound, boat at breakfast time does not worry over the accident.. He calmly spends the morning at home, then, after dinner, .trudges four or five miles across country to Slough Landing, arriving, there In plenty of time likely with an hour or two to spare to catch his boat, which, in the Interval since leaving Tlptonville, has been wandering through some thirty miles of bends. Down In the Great Bends country, below Memphis, the south-going steamer at the end of a half-day's travel may be further from the Gulf of Mexico as the crow flies than she was at the beginning. One may go from Memphis to Orleans by rail the distance Ii 400 miles In a, single night. By steamboat It is, at best, a four days' run; the Mississippi dilly-dallies through exactly SOU miles of twists and turns between the two cities. Wonders of America. Detroit Free Press. "I made a walking tour through Germany last summer," said an artist, "and in a German inn I came across an old newspaper, dated about the year 1S75, that, described a new hotel about to be erected In Chicago. I made a translation of the article, and if you like I'll read It to you: " 'The latest American progress in building will be the mammoth hotel soon to be erected in Chicago.. The enormous hotel is to have a frontage of three miles and a depth of six miles; the height; of seventyseven stories, will measure 3.4SO feet from the ground floor to the roof. . No room waiters are to be employed, but visitors will be served by a newly-patented automaton put in every bedroom, who will dp all shaving, shampooing, etc., to the guests by a very simple and ingenious mechanism. The tables in the dining room will measure four miles each. The cost of the building is estimated to be SCSO.OOO.OCO.' " . Smallpox "Suspects Escape. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Jan. 3.
