Senator i.agau's homestead bill IS
very popular in Dakota, where, as the
Grand Forks Herald says, there are
more army veterans 10 the square acre
than IN any eastern state. The main
point Senator Logan's bill is that it
entities every soldier or sailor who
served less than a year, 10 eighty
acres Of land: every one who served
more than a year to one hundred and
twenty acres, and every one who has
served more than two years, to one
hundred and sixty acres, requiring
the soldier in each ease, no matter
what was his term Of service, to resi-
denee on the land only one year TO
secure a perfect tide The present law
requires a residence Of fye years less
soldiers term of actual service. Cen
cral I.ogans bill ought TO pass at this
session, for all the goods lands are be

Am Uclx Rate war Isarelv Arerted

One who was in attendance at the recent meet
ing Of the trunk-line presidents reports that for
a time the debate on rate matters was quite
heated, and up to o'clock in the afternoon it
seemed that it would be impossible to avert IL
general war on rates, and only the strongest
efforts of the more conservative presidents pre-
vented the abandonment of a full schedule rate
and the precipitation of an open war. Tie dis
satisfaction of the Pennsylvania and the Eric
railway systems with the situation since the
presidents meeting Feb. 7, had led the oper;lt
ing staffs of these roads to advocate free com
petition, in which the carrying capacity of each
road would be determined regardless of conso
quences. Some of the Pennsylvania managers
openly argued that if no stop could be put to
the recent series of useless conferences. viola

dent Rutter declared that the contracts would
not be carried out by the New FORK Central on
the Lake Shore, and that all contract business
would be turned into the pool at gross rates.
When the st. Louis situation came up for discus
sion the responsibility for the Generalization of
rates was laid against the Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati & indianapolis road. In spite of the
denias of President Devereux, Robert Garrett
declares that the Cleveland road had carried
grain at nineteen cents per one hundred pounds,
against schedule rate of thirty cents. AS
the Baltimore & Ohio was allowed differentia
rate of three cents per one hundred pounds un-
der the rates to New York, he (Mr. Garrett)
authorized the Ohio & Mississippi rail
road to make contracts at sixteen cents
The storm of that day, however. seems to have
cleared the air, and reports from all prominent
Western shipping points on Saturday indicated
that all lines have restored rates, and were in
clined to maintain them. Railroad men, how
ever. admit that the recent reduction is CON
fessiOn of the inability of the managers to con
troll the situation. There are complications still
existing which may compel even a further re-
duction when navigation opens.

A Sharp Falling OFF in Business Over Indi-
annapolis Roads.

The train records show that there were 1928
less loaded cars handled at Indianapolis in the
week ending March 10 than in the week pre-
ceding There was but slight decrease in
the east-bound movement with the Decline
and the c., st. L. g. P, while there was a
heavy decrease in the west-bound move
ment, the Decline bringing West over 400
less cars and the c., ST. L. & P some 2OOless. 1t
is thought this lull in west-bound business is but
temporary as it is too early in the season for so
marked change However, up to the last week
west-bound tonnage has been running ahead of
that of the corresponding period Of 1883. North
and south roads are doing much better; especial
ly southwark is there a handsome increase in
