Trouble For the Travelling Public.

Trouble For the Travelling Public.
A circular has been issued by G. H. War
ren, general passenger agent of the st. Paul
q Manitoba road explaining the trouble and
disagreement that has arisen between the
customs department at Winnipeg and the
Canada Pacific railway, which interferes with
travel into Manitoba. The following extract
from letter from the general superintend-
ent of the Canadian Pacific railroad to the
inspector OF customs at Winnipeg is given by
Mr.. Warren:
81 have received instructions to discon-
tinue paying customs officers for work per-
formed by them before and after customs
hours and on Sundays and legal holidays.
This viii be carried out after this month has
expired"
And also another communication from
commissioner of customs at Ottawa to in
inspector Of customs at Winnipeg, as fol-
lows:
Evan Horne writes, extra time Of men at
Emerson and Gretna, is for benefit of st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway, who
should pay. You will notify proper authori-
ties that men will be withdrawn unless ar
rangements made by them for payment, and
then trains can only pass during business
hours and days"
Mr. Warren concludes his circular as fol-
lows:
Nothing was done however until the 10Th
day Of June, when the collector of customs
1t Emerson was notified that after the Both
inst. the orders of commissioner must be
carried out.
AS the hours at which trains are run to
and from Winnipeg are the ones most ap-
proved by those using the all-rail route, be-
ing substantially the same schedule as has
been in force for the past three years, it has
not been thought advisable 10 depart from it
in consequence Of the foregoing correspond
ence 1t is hoped passengers will suffer no
serious inconvenience or delay at the inter
national boundary, and the above informa-
ton is furnished that the travelling public
may be advised that if delays do occur it is
from causec beyond our line, and because
there had been a departure from the custom
airy arrangement heretofore in effect between
her majesty's customs and the Canadian
Pacific railway, and from the usual arrange
ment made in the exchange of traffic be-
tween Canada and the United States.
The st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railway company have assumed and pay all
khe custom charges upon the American side
of line provided for by the United States
customs regulations, and cannot undertake
to pay In the territory where they have no
line Of railway; while the facts are, that the
expenses in this direction ON the American
side are probably eight or ten times as much
for the handling Of traffic as those eXacted |
from the Canadian Pacific railway, by the
customs authorities on the Canadian side of |
the line
