TIE Cnnndin,. Pncifc C,,t.

Some months ago it was announced that
the Canadian Pacific had made a cut rate on
passengers from Canada to Winnipeg by way
of the lakes of 1915. OF course the cut set
the other roads to work to see how it could
be met Several meetings were held in Chi
cago TO consult upon the matter and reduc-
duction was made on all the American roads
interested. Last Friday another meeting
was commenced to consider the matter fur
Their, and Gen. Alexander and Mr.. Warren
of st Paul and Manitoba road, went down
to attend the same. The meeting was held
at the Grand Pacific. At Il meeting held in
Chicago about one month ago, it was
agreed to make the rate from
Montreal to Winnipeg $3.50, and
to St. Vincent $3.50, as there was no need
of meeting the Canadian Pacific rates until
the opening of navigation, as the Cana
dian Pacific was not able to compete
for the business before that time.
At the meeting in Chicago on Friday
last it wBs proposed to make rate from
Montreal to Winnipeg by rail and lake Sl7,
and by rail S22. Tee meeting, however, was
unable to agree upon the proposition, and it
was decided to make no rail and water rate
at present, as it will be some time before the
Port Arthur route will be able to compete.
The all-rail route from Montreal TO Winnipeg
was temporarily fixed at S23.50, and to st.
Vincent at $23.25. When navigation on
Lake Superior is open further action is to be
taken. 1t is understood that the Grand
Trunk will then meet the Sl7 rate on Cana
dian business via rail and lake. The all-rail
rate is not likely to be fixed below S22, the
roads being of the opinion that emigrants
will prefer to pay S. more by the rail lines as
they save more than that in incidental ex-
penses, the trip being so much shorter and
the annoyances considerably less.

The Treasurer of Jackson County,
Ohio, in Limbo,

a few months ago Milton c. Keenan, the
treasurer of Jackson county, Ohio, disap-
peared with his mistress, Jane Melvin, and
5000 of the coanty's funds. Active search
was made for the absconder, and it was as
certained that he and his
mistress had come to St. Paul.
They were traced here by Cincinnati de-
tective, who found on his arrival that the
game had been ''aushed,'' Keenan, having
skipped out for parts unknown. After a
couple of weeks sojourn in st. Paul the fly
copper returned home and turned the case
over to the police authorities of st. Paul.
Detective OConnor was put on the job and
he learned that the woman Melvin was still
residing in this city. After several
weeks of dilligent work he
obtained clue to the whereabouts of keenan,,
who was supposed to be working on farm
at Wocott. a small town near Davenport,
Iowa, and Detective O'Connor left for the
latter place last Wednesday, and last evening
Chief Clark received telegram saying that
he had arrested his man. He is expected in
St Paul with his prisoner to-day. 1t is I'M
derstood that reward of 81, 900 was offered
for Keenau's arrest.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Subcommittee Making Arrange
ments for the Holding of the
National Convention.

CHICAGO, April "a meeting of the sub
committee Of the national Republican COM
mittec was held here this afternoon, for the
purpose of arranging the preliminaries for
the coming national convention. Hon John
C. New, Indiana, John A. Martin, Kansas,
and John H. Clough, proxy for Senator
Logan, were present. New also held proxy
for Powell Clayton, Arkansas. The plans
for the convention hall, made by the musical
festival committee, was adopted with modi-
fication, increasing the seating capacity of
the gallery, so that the hall will accommodate
between 5000 and $1,000 exclusive of the
platform for delegates, WHICH has seating
capacity of 600. Provision has been made
for the daily press of the country upon
as liberal basis as possible, and
reportorial force of about 600
can be accommodated. Applications from
the daily press for seats viii be considered by
the subcommittee at the next meeting
Inasmuch as the whole country is to be pro-
vided for, it will be expected the daily news
papers will only apply for such numbers of
seats as may be absolutely necessary. The
committee calls attention to the fact that the
associated press will make full and COM
plete reports of every detail and transaction
of the convention. for which it will have
ample facilities. Journals wanting accom-
modations for special reports, should apply
to the subcommittee, addressing Hon. John
c. New, chairman, Indianapolis, within
thirty days. Owing to the restricted accom-
modations the committee found it impos-
sible to make any provision for the weekly
press OF the country.

COLLINS AND DE LONG.
Reopening of the Jeanette Inquiry Oh
Petition of DIR, Collins,

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The new investi-
cation into the loss of the Jeanette began
to-day. Mr.. Arnoux, counsel for Melville
and Mrs. belong, attempted to have the in
vestigation stopped as unnecessary, but the
committee decided to proceed. Mr.. Curtis,
counsel for DIR. Collins, then requested that
Mrs. belong produce the original journal of
Captain belong, and that all records con-
nected with the expedition be produced.
This was agreed to. 1t was then asked that
interrogatories might be framed and sent to
John 7. jackson, of Berlin, the Herald cor
respondent, and his answers to be made by
deposition.
DR.. Collins, brother of Jerome Collins,
then made his statement, which did not diff
fer materially from what he has already said
concerning the treatment of his brother by
belong, that Danenhower said, would have
caused him to go over the ships side if he
had to endure it.
Bartlett, first class fireman on the jean
cite, testified that Jerome Collins told him
DeLoug had made his life pefect hell on
earth, and that he was watched and logged
like cur. Collins frequently complained
of ill treatment Witness said on one oc-
casion, during the retreat he had heard De
Long say, ''Mr. Collins, give that
rope to one of the men," Collins
did not obey instantly, and belong said,
sDamn you, don tyou let me see you put
your hand to any more work until l order
you.' Collins at the time was aiding the
men to draw the sledges. Witness did not
believe that all the papers taken from the
body of Jerome Collins were given to DR..
Collins. During the retreat the officers per
formed but little manual labor. Melville
had charge of the men and walked by their
side while they drew the sledges. When
the sledges got stuck he never lent hand to
eXtricate them, but shouted, ''Pull her out,
boys, or get left, damn you" Witness
thought the jealousy between Danen-
hover and Melville prevented the
party moving to Belun, or searching for
belong sooner than it did. The physical
condition of the party would have allowed
them to move, aud he thought that transpor-
tation could have been obtained There was
small chance of finding belong, however,
he said
He was asked if Collins had told that he
was not permitted to have writing materials.
After a long discussion as to the admissa-
bility of the question the witness replied in
the affirmative Witness said there was
feeling Of intimidation among thednen when
they appeared before the court of enquiry.
They thought their pay might be stopped and
they be court martialled if they said more
than obliged to- Adjourned.

Legends of LIE Mars

LIE MARS, Ia, April 5.-Howard c. Trip,
a popular poet and magazine writer, was shot
and mortaily wounded by an unknown
person while he was standing on the corner
of Main and Sixth streets on Wednesday
evening. The cause of the shooting
was the publication of a ten cent
pamphlet by Mr.. Trip called
Legends of lie Mars.'' He inserted
several poems and sketches of personal ma
ture in his book, greatly to the disgust and
chagrin of his enemies. He has been warned
several times that he would be killed if he
did not leave this part OF the country, but he
did not heed these threats, and he paid the
penalty OF his rashness by
giving his life. He died
Thursday morning. An inquest was held
over his remains Thursday morning, and
the coroner decided that he came to his
death from gunshot wounds at the hands
of person unknown. Some excite

probably be lynched if caught Mr.. Trip
was only % years of age, yet he was good
writer and was respected by all who knew
him as a friend. He had published several

O'Leary and Schmehl will travel in their
seyenty-fve hour contest, was measured this
afternoon, but will not be laid until Monday
or Tuesday evening. The friends of both

their favorite will prove the superior

had but little training, but what he has had
was obtained at both the time and place
named, before meals on a
good solid road. Some betting has
been done on the probable result, O'Leary
being the favorite among the Irish, while his

WASHINGTON, April 5.-An anamolous,

struction of the fourteenth amendment was
involved. Some time since the Prohibit
tionists of Kansas brought action to Gust
John Foster, county attorney of Saline

prosecute violations of the liquor law. The
case was carried to the supreme court of the
state, which gave judgement of custer
against Foster. Mr.. Felon, of Leaven-

for the allowance of a writ of error
and supersideas, alleging that Foster had been
tried civilly for criminal charge, and there
fore his rights had been abridged The chief
justice granted the application, which sus-
ponds the action of the state courts until the
the csse can be determined by the United
States supreme court, which leaves Foster in
possession.

New YORK, April 5.-Under the leadership
of Union Pacific this morning, which was
sold right and left, the market became quite
ragged before the first hour elapsed West
ern Union telegraph was a soft spot also, and
tine coal stocks were not any toofrm. The
Generalization in the grain markets appeared
to have proved contagious, and buyers were
not to be found for stocks except at conces
sions. When Western Union dropped below
SO, and Union Pacific below 20, the feeling
became trife feverish. The old reliable
and per cent. properties were even unable
to hold their own. Reading seemed to
stand the brunt of the battle rather
the best. About O'Clock short commenced
to even up for the week, and then purchases
caused rally all around and impaired a lit
tie life to the situation, which was much
needed. Operators are much at sea regard
ing the future course of stocks. What the
next move will be it is difficult to guess. AT
present the supposed bull leaders appear to
be simply lockers on and not participants.
