Commlttei Appointed by Livestock Association Reports or Progress of " Negotiations Companies Are Grad- .ualy Conceding All tho 8tockmen Ask Pass Privilege Restored as a Result of the Committee. The Uvostock Association has is sued the following circular showing tho progress of negotiations with tho railroad companies, looking toward better transportation facilities. Speaking of tho tonnage system of freight hauling on roads, tho circular says: "It takes time for railway compa nies to inaugurate entirely new meth ods of transportation over thousands, of miles of line. Howovor, their promise made to the committee of tho National Livestock Association at the Chicago conference to abrogate the tonnage system In hauling live stock Is bolng realized. It cannot bo expected that small shipments of less than ten cars shall demand a 'special' service, or that a reasonable number of cars of dead freight shall not make up tho balance of tho train. "The principal demand of tho ship pers Is promptness In furnishing cars, and better time on tho wny to market. Reports from nearly every western state Is to tho effect that the service has wonderfully improved, and that the railways are honestly endeavoring to give satisfaction. Advices from all tEe eastern markets aro that the service in time and prompt dellvory is now better than it has been ot any time for several years past. "President F. J. Hagonbarth has ad dressed a letter to Chairman Mahoney of tho Trunk line committee, in which he offers to meet with tho presidents or traffic managers of stock-carrying roads at any time, for the purpose of amicably ana Justly settling any dif ferences which may arlso between the Btockmen nnd transportation com panies.

Fifty million dollars Is claimed by Lllzaboth T. Qroonbough, of Now wiuow or tno ramous inventor, Benjamin' P. Greonbough, In a suit against Henry H. Rogers, of the standard 011 company, and the exec utors of Charles Pratt, onco Mr. Rog ers' partner. The notion has been commenced in tho Massachusetts Bitperlor court, and summons havo been sent to Mr. Rog ers and tho Pratt executors. Mrs. Greenbough's claim Is based on tho Invention by her husband ot a process ot oll-rellnlng which ren ders kerosono non-explosive, nnd sliu n leges that sho Is entitled to a roy alty of one-quarter of a cent a gallon on nil oil so treated by tho Standard Oil company. In 1874, when Rogers nnd Pratt wero young nnd poor in tho oil busi ness Greonbough invented this pro cess, and sold It to them under a contract guaranteeing him the roynl ty mentioned. Within n few years Greonbough had received nioro than $500,000 In royalties from the Stan- dard Oil cnillnnnv. tn vlilnll lliwnro and Pratt had transmitted the inven tion. Then Greonbough was lost at sea and Ills Widow, hnvlnir lin l.-nnvlni1iTf of the contract with her husband, TEN made no claim for royalties. Tho Standard Oil company also apparently forgot It. A short time ago Mrs. Greonbotigh found nniong her husbnnil's pnpors a copy of tho contract, and tho suit Is the result, Though begun against Rogers and tho Pratt executors, tho Standard Oil company Is the real de fendant.
