The situation of the railroad war may
be described as calm, cold, determined,
watchful and venemous. Each road is on
the keen watch for weak spot in its OPP
ponent into which to plunge the blade, and
when the spot is found the cold steel goes
in as far as it is possible to put it. Sew
eral more cuts we're made yesterday, and
others are promised for to-day. The cut
ting heretofore has been confined mostly
to passenger rates, but now that has be-
come comparatively of secondary interest
and freight rates are beginning. The con-
tract against cutting on certain west
bound freight holds the roads in some
wholesome check, but even this contract
seems to be, likely to go down through
gradual and oblique infringements.
Yesterday the Albert Lea route put the
knife to the rates by making 5 cent rate
| regardless of classification, between st.
Paul or Minneapolis and Faribault, North
field, Cannon Falls, Dundas and Waterford.
This rate will also apply from the above
points to Chicago. beginning with Fari-
bahlt. This is bold drive, and means
business.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul re-
| duced freight rates to 10 cents per
| 100 pounds from Chicago to Eau Claire
| regardless of classification. Yesterday the
| Chicago, st. Paul q Omaha (the Royal
Route) took advantage of it and made the
rate from Eau Claire to st. Paul 2115 cents
per 100 pounds, also regardless of CLASH
fication. This, it will be seen, makes a
freight rate of 121H cents from Chicago to
St. Paul. The Northwestern will undoubt
eddy follow the Milwaukee & st. Paul, and
then the big break will have been made
looking to the destruction of the contract
that has held the roads in check so long in
regard to rates between Chicago and st
Paul. At any rate the rate of freight to-
day, under these cuts from Chicago to St
Paul is 121a cents per 100 pounds, and
merchants can figure up the difference
without much difficulty. This is the most
| significant move yet made.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr.. Hiland re-
ceived information from Saltwater that
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road
| WOIO iudAlAS VOA CCilG CO1UIdCLS Will llOI
chants from Chicago to Saltwater, and he
Immediately telegraphed the fact to the
agent of his road in Chicago, and directed
him to do the same thing. This is another
drive at the contract against cutting the
rates from Chicago to st. Paul.
On Friday the Chicago, st. Paul g. Omaha
announced a reduction of passenger rates
between Sioux City and Sioux Falls to 81
On Saturday the Chicago, Milwaukee
st. Paul reduced the price to fifty
cents, and to-day the Chicago, st. Paul &
Omaha road will make the fare twenty five
cents between the two places in either di
rection. II
The Chicago, St. Paul g. Omaha (the
Royal Route) will today name passenge,
rate of 81 from Mankato, Prairie Junction
Heron Lake, Sioux Falls, Woodstock and
Sheldon to Davenport or Rock Island
Other reductions onsthe same road to Chi.
cago and intermediate points will be pub
lished tomorrow.
Thus it will be seen that general slash
ing of passenger and freight rates is being
made and that others are to follow.

The Situation at ChicugO.


CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-The railroad war is
still being fiercely waged, and since yes
| terday morning several new phases have
been developed. For instance, the Rock
Island which had promptly met the fifty
cent cut of the Milwaukee and st. Paul on
| Moline and Rock Island, decided, after a
few hours experience, that it did not pay,
| and restored the regular tariff rate to those
points. The Milwaukee and st. Paul still
continues the cut, and to-day it is the only
road carrying passengers to those points
at cut figures. On the other hand, the
Milwaukee and St. Paul are not attempt
ing to cope with the Rock Island 81 rate
on Albert Lea, Chaska and neighboring
points. Their local passenger agent in
Chicago, Mr.. Chandler, said this morning:
''If the Rock Island can afford to carry
people to southern Minnesota. points fer
that figure they are welcome to the bust
ness. We are carrying all we can now.
Last evening seven sleepers went out chuck
full on our evening train, and it is hard to
travel"
The Milwaukee people are evidently
satisfied with their raking cut on the Rock
Islands local business to the Mississippi
river, and so the matter stands. The Rock
Island still adyertises 81 rates to Albert Lea
and Chaska, land, besides, has begun a cut ON
Mankato, Sioux Falls, and Sheldon of 81.
One of the newest developments of the
fight is the cut On freight. Up to three
days ago there was no cut on west-bound
freight, and it began to look as if it would
escape the carnage. Terminal points,
such as st. Paul and Minneapolis on the
north and Omaha and Council Bluffs on
the west, as we'll as Central Iowa points
are included in the Central Iowa traffic as
ISOLATION and Northwestern pool. But a
couple Of days since it is claimed that the
Rock Island began a cut on all junction
points not covered by the agreements of
pools, and yesterday they initiated cut on
southern Minnesota points, it Seems,
with the approval and consent of The
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road, which
is the connecting link of the Northwestern
company with st. Paul and Minneapolis.
This has so irritated the Milwaukee & ST.
Paul people, who hitherto have had
thorough understanding with the North
western. that they have this morning mott
fed the latter company that they will no
longer respect the freight rates to points
covered by both companies, and they have
accordingly announced cut of ten cents
per 100 pounds on all classes of freight to |
Eau Claire and points on the Omaha road
which they reach. The passenger rates to
the same points have not yet been dis
turbed.

New YORK, Nov. 25.-Mr. Marvin Hugh
lit, general manager of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railroad company, in con
versation late this afternoon, said that
there was absolutely no business transacted
at the meeting of the executive committee
except that of going through the mere
form of declaring the usual dividends. He
had not been advised as yet from Chicago
of the last cut in rates, but the North
western stood ready to meet all reductions
as the come.y There have been no confer
enees to-day concerning the railroad war,
and no meeting is called for the future
that he knows of. This war must. of course,
have a termination. said Mr.. Hugitt, but
how soon 1t will come cannot say. All can
state tonight is that we are one day nearer
a settlement. The strength of stocks at
the close was dae to report freely circu-

New YORK, Nov. 25.-The Sun says ex-
traordinary efforts were made in this city
yesterday to effect compromise between
the warning roads. They were made prin-
cipally by Jay Gould, and with the assis-
lance, advice and support, it is said, of
w. II. Vanderbilt, through some of the
most influential of his associates
in railroad management. So far as could
be learned step toward cessation of
hostilities was taken. Mr.. Gould professed
to hold last evening pledges from the man
agement of the several roads to attend a
conference. President H. III. Porter, of
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Oma-
ha railway said last evening that
he was willing to go into a con-
ference with the other roads,
in the Northwest on the one question of
territory, and with the understanding that
any points that could not be settled by a
conference should be submitted to arbi-
tration. Whether all the other roads have
assented to this proposition could
not be learned, The Milwaukee and
st. Paul is the only one to which
the proposition stands as an accusation.
The tenor of the answer to President
Mitchell, of the st. Paul road, to Mr..
Gould, who processes to hold pledges for
conference, coul1 not be learned, but if
he has agreed to meet all the other roads,
it must be according to Mr.. Porter, upon
the terms mentioned.

answered, Fright here,' and then 1 saw
that he had drifted off five or six yards.
That was the last saw or heard of the

piece of board and managed to paddle to-
ward the larger raft on which the mate
had crawled. We deserted the smaller
raft and about O'Clock the four of us
were found dashed around at the mercy of
the waves. Didn't we suffer! I can't be-
gin to describe to you what we exper-
fenced. The air was bitter cold, and
fierce gale was prevailing. There appeared
to be number of posts that lodged under
the raft, and that was all that kept us from
sinking. To make matters worse the stew
ard became raving maniac during
Thursday night, and it was all that two
of US could do to keep the poor fellow on
the raft. All through the night and dur

times he succeeded in getting into the
water, but we dragged him back. About
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon his strength,

gle he died. We held on to his BODY for
a while, but had to let it wash overheard
finally, as we had no way of fastening it to
the raft.

The Way to Handle Sheep.

There is n right way and q wrong way,
n hard way and an easy way, an awkward
way and q skillful way, to catch and ham
die sheep. A great many men will catch
the sheep by the wool on the back with
both hands, and lift the animal clear from
the ground by the wool only. Barbarous
Let some great giant grasp you by the hair
of your head and lift you from the ground
by the hair only! Would you not struggle
and squirm worse than the mute sheep
does when lifted by the wool? And would
there not be q complaint Of n sore head for
a week or two? If you do not believe it,
try the experiment.
We have slaughtered q great many sheep
in years past, and, when removing the pelt
of such sheep as had been handled by tho
wool, we never failed to observe that be-
meath the skin, wherever the animal had
been caught by the wool, blood had settled.
In many instances the skin had been separ-
ated from the body SO that Inflammation
vas apparent. We have known proprie-
tors of sheep to be SO strict in regard to
handling them, that they would order a
helper from the premises.ifhe were to catch
a sheep by the wool on any part of the
body.
Some owners of sheep direct their help
ers thus: when about to catch a sheep,
move carefully toward the one to be tak2u,
until you are sufficiently near 10 spring
quickly and seize the beast by the neck
with both hands, then pass one hand around
the body, grasp the sbrisket, and lift the
sheep clear from the ground. Tho wool
must not be pulled. If the sheep is a heavy
one let one hand and wrist be put around
the neck, pressing the arm against the Leg

throw one arm around the body, and take

ewes with lambs should never be caught
by the hind legs, unless they are handled

Pin Manufacture in the United States.

The pins used in this country are made
by fourteen factories, chiefly located in
New England. Their annual production
for several years past has been about 7,O0O,-
900 pins. This number has not varied
much for some years, the demand remain
ing about the same. Two years ago the
competition among the nine principal com,
panies then existing for the manufacturing
of toilet pins led to such a cutting ofprices
that the business became Improbable, and
the market was flooded with goods. A year
ago a combination was formed of three
wire companies, and now all of the ,,lns
made by them are shipped to New YORK,
and handled by the head agency of mat
city. From their common warehouse they
are sent to every part of the country. The
importations of English pins are small and
the expectations of pins from the United
States is confined to Cuba, South America
and parts of Canada. England supplies
almost the whole world outside of the
United States, although the American pins
are not inferior in quality. The raw ma
terial-the brass and iron wire from which
all American pins are made-is from the
wire mills of this country, and much of
the machinery is of American invention
