Sew York, Oct. 20.— The s has for setime been active comp lin t by the SewYorkgraintrr.de at f i e railroad i'ay in bringing wheat a_J corn to this port. The com!paints have become so gen- enl, says the Journal of Commerce, to- f*v, that the railroads have finally de rided that until they can secure poss ession of equipment they w ill not re- «ive any more grain. T h is refusal is •beolute and applies to new as w ell as eld business. Tbs grain trade is greatly excited ever the decision, and a join t meeting °f the Produce Exchange grain commit tee with the com mittee on trade and trsnsportation waB held today with the eteamship interests to devise ways and feans, take legal advice, and if neces- nry make formal appeal to the Inter- ,!*te Commerce commiesion against the •ction of the roads. ^ ic e 'h «“ ^ °* ‘ I** time tbe *treet car service has been at a standstill, and the electric lighting . , _ . plants - are out of commission. The burning of the Utah packing plant, north of the city, is the most serious single loss. The building had just been compleetd at a cost ot » 100 ,. 000 , and was to have been put into use tu a few days. Tha project was inaug urated by Western cattlemen and was in opposition to tbs large packing houses in the East. The cause of the tire has not been ascertained.

Cuban Hurricane Crosses the Island, Leaving Death in Trail. Havana, Oct. 22.—More complete re ports have been received by Governor Magooon and show that the recent hur- rican, which swept across Caba, has caused greater damage than was at first supposed. Scores of lives are now known to have been lost as the result of the storm. The worst reports come from the Ba tabano, on the south coast of Cuba, the point where the cyclone first struck the island. Forty fishing schooners are now known to have been loet Many corpses have been picked up floating in the lay, and it is believed the dead at this point alone w ill reach nearly 100 . The majority of the victims are Spanish fishermen. Wreckage from the vessels which were destroyed litter the shores for miles. It is belisvtd that several small schooners were swept out to sea and lost, their crews perishing. The town itself suffered severely Nine bodies have been removed so far from the ruins. On every hand are to be seep evidences of the storm’ s fury. Houses were blown down, trees were uprooted, and devastation has been wrought generally. A conservative es timate of the damage in that city is »600,000. The greatest damage was aosed in the lower portion of the city. The upper section away from the shore escaped almost miraculously. The wharves were badly damaged, in many cases completely wrecked. New York, Oct. 1 8 .- A verdict of guilty of granting rebates on sugar shipments was returned by a jury in the United States court here today against the-New York Central Railroad company and Frederick L. Pomeroy, the company’s general traffic manager. Sentenc» was deferred until Friday to peirnit the attorneys for the defense to file motions with the court. In discussing the jury’ s verdict, Aus tin G. Fox, connsel for the defendants, placed the respoaibility for the convic- of his clients upon public opinion. “ You can’ t defend rebate cases fin the present state of public opinion. said he. According to the provisions of the Likins act, under which the convictions were secured, the maximum penalty is a tine of »20,000. As both the Central and the personal defendant, Frederick L. Pomeroy, a>e convicted by the deci sion of the jury on all of the counta charged in the indictment, the total fine for each can be » 120 , 000 . Letters from Lowell M. Palmer, manager of the traffic business of the sugar refining company, to Mr. Pome roy, ecknowledging the receipt ol drafts amounting to thousands of dollars, were admitted. I t is charged that these drafts represented the payment of a rebate of 5 cents per hundredweight on shipments of sugar to W. H. Edgai & Son. C H IN A ARM ING FOR F IG H T .
