THE PASSENGER WAR.
The Situation not Reassuring The
Burlington and It's Competitors,

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-The complications at
tendant upon the war in passenger rates to
the Missouri river are increasing daily and
threaten to involve an immense area of ter
ritory. The feature presenting the most
threatening characteristic is the SIS
rate given by several of the
western lines to their eastern
connections 1t is difficult to see how this
action is going to relieve the situation, and
it is generally believed that It will only serve
to involve eastern lines in the Missouri river
broil. They cannot control their agents any
more than other roads, and this So rate will
only give agents of the Trunk lines margin
to cut without benefting the roads in any
particular.
1t was learned from private advices to-day
that the competitors of the Burlington had
reduced the rate from Kansas City to Chi
cago to S11, cut of $3.50 below the full
tariff. The advices state that the Burlington's
competitors have been compelled by that
lines irregularities to go to this extreme
The Burlington people admit that they
have been quoting a 81 rate
from Kansas City, but assert
that 1t was done to meet the rate made BY
the Rock Island and Alton through the
brokers. They claim that these roads have
been supplying Chicago brokers with round
trip tickets at S13 to S15, and they in turn
have supplied Kansas City brokers with
tickets that they could sell for from S11 to
S13. They rather chose to make the 81 rate
at their regular Office than compel passen-
gers to patronize the scalpers for cheap trans
portation. Inquiry was also made at the
Burlington offices regarding dispatch from
Toledo, Ohio, stating that the Wabash had
announced rates to the Missouri river of SIP
first class, 81 second class, and $50 round
trip. and that this break in rates
is said to have been caused by the Chicago,
Burlington d Quincy selling thousand-mile
tickets to parties who resold them to
scalpers. The officials of the defendant road
emphatically deny the existence of any such
cause at Toledo or anywhere else, and pro-
nOunce the statement entirely false.

Congressional Speculation.
rSDecial TELEGRAM IN the Globe /

WASHINGTON, D. c. Oct. 1S.-The free
traders said when the Morrison bill was de-
feated that not ten OF the forty-one Demo-
Gratis who voted with Sam Randall to strike
out the enacting clause would be returned to
congress. Ohio has reelected six OF the
forty-one already. A contestant for a seat
in congress does not get his salary unless
he is seated. Usually, however, be is al
lowed an appropriation sufficient to pay the
expenses acquired in prosecuting his
claim. If Frank Hurd contests the election
of his opponent good many Democrats
here say they will wait with good deal of
curiosity TO see if Mckinley will vote to seat
Frank when the time comes. 1t will be re-
membered that Hurd made speech last
spring in favor of Mckinley against Wal
lace. Democrats here say Follett will Ger
tainly get his seat if he contests the election
Of Butterworth on the grounds of fraud and
intimidation.

is argued that the party not only owes it
to its individual members, but should also
protect its Independent brethren by making
it so hot in this state as to render it impossi-
bic for the Republicans to send their repeat
ers to the Hoosier state without endanoering
success in Ohio. The result last Tuesday
has greatly encouraged the local Democracy
to renewed exertions. In the last twenty
years Ohio has never but once given SO small
a Republican majority in the De-
tober elections, and has at the
same contests returned but about
one-third of the Democratic congressional
nominees. This year the state sends ma
jority of Democrats to congress, and, &C
cording to all, that majority, instead of being
slender as it is, was only prevented from be-
ing overwhelming by the grossest frauds
and corruption. Next month the Republicans
will be without the aid OF deputy marshals,
corruption agents, govern ment repeaters and
drunken negro bulldozers. On the
contrary, the Democratic city authori-
ties will be the sole guardians
of the ballot box, and thus insure an hon
est election. The latter is all that is asked,
and with it Hamilton county will go Demo-
cratic by good majority. The Democratic
cause will not be allowed to sleep, but, on
the contrary, pushed with untiring vigor
1t is thought that ell that is necessary to Sc
cure triumph in November is to maintain
the party strength and prevent Republican
frauds.

titles them to retirement with salary,

Either Mr.. Blaine or Gov. Cleveland will, as
the circular declares, substantially
determine for years to come the
constitution of the court. The business
of the court having fallen four years in ar
rears, the creation of additional judgeships
has become pressing necessity. Whether
the additional judges are added to the court
itself or form an independent court of APP
peals they will be the nominees of the in
coming president, giving him, with the
four supreme court appointments, a power
over the Judiciary perhaps beyond that
enjoyed by any OF his predecessors. This
responsibility upon the next president can
hardly be over estimated. 1t is not a mat
ter of party advantage. The loss of proper
confidence in the federal judiciary will, as
the writers of the address duly declare, be an
irreparabe blow to the very continuance of
of the government. The address then ap-
peals to the people not to give such enor-
nous power into the hands of Blaine.

The Next House.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 18.-The presi-
Dental election is not absorbing all the at
tention Of the politicians in the city. The
complexion of the next house of representa-
tives has been carefully canvassed. AT pres
ent the Democrats have over seventy ma
jority, so that it will require a Republican
gain of at least thirty-siX members to over
turn the Democratic majority. If there was
a Republican tidal wave this might be effec-
ted, but no such popular movement is indi-
Gated by an election in q
state always surely Republican in pres
idential years, where, after spending
nearly million of dollars and employing
an armed force of murderers and cut throats,
this party, so far from gaining, sustains a
loss of 5000 votes on the election of four
years ago. -Four states have voted so far for
congressman, Oregon electing one Republi-
can, Vermont three Republicans, and Ohio
electing tea Republicans and eleven Demo
Gratis. In Ohio the seats of Butterworth,
Brown and Romeis will probably be con-
tested, but assuming them to have been
legally elected, We have in these four states
a Republican gain of three. Estimating
the other states upon the most liberal pos
sible basis for the Republicans and conced-
ing to them the gains claimed by them.
which many Democrats utterly repudiate, we
have the following changes in the congress
sional delegates as they now stand:

Democrats Enthusiastic at Cincinnati.

Special Telegram to The Globe.
CrNCrNNATI, o., Oct. 1S.-If any despon-
dent Democrats were to be found last Wed
nesday they have evidently taken different
view Of affairs since then, for to-day there is
no city in the country that contains so many
enthusiastic Democrats as does Cincinnati.
This feeling OF confidence has been gained
entirely from Tuesdays experience, which
taught the Democrats of Ohio that on
8 fair election this state is not
Republican. The acts Of violence and
intimidation practiced by Lo: Wright's Ken
lucky negro deputy marshals has done more
to solidify the Democratic ranks in this
county than ANYTHING that could have been
planned. Preparations have already begun
in earnest to marshal the Democratic hosts,
and an attack viii be made on the 4th OF No
vember that viii shatter the false Republican
majority into spiinterS. The Democrats
confidently claim their ability to reverse the
figures, and win endeavor 10 roll up ma
jority of 5000 in this county for
Cleveland. In this they viii have 4 united
party, assisted by scores of Independent
Republicans, and by hundreds of uoa-parti-
san men who looked with alarm at the high
handed proceedings of the drunken deputy
marShals.
In conversation with large number OF
Democrats OF all shades of party feeling ii
was learned that never before has the party
been more determined to re6uke fraud by
carrying Hamilton county in November. Ii

A Fluid Ouartette.

At fifteen minutes past twelve this morn
ing the patrol wagon drove up to the city
hall from the corner of Wacouta
and Seventh streets with four
gentlemen. Two Of these gentlemen
had about two quarts of fiery fluid in their
true inwardness, and from the
appearance of the distinguished
individuals they were too timber even
: to sit in chair, and they rolled off the chair
in which they were placed and slumped
down upon the floor. The other TWO
were not quite so full. They
evidently had not more than quart and
pint in their ''barrels." One of the fellows
that was in the worst condition claimed thai
he had been robbed, but he could not tell
how much he had lost. In the whole crowd
there vas but three dollars. All were locked
up, and, taken altogether, it was very
drunken crowd.

Paul win now go down. 1t is stated that the
sale of Is, 600 Lackawanna made yesterday
was on account of Gould The West Shore
to-day carried the war on passenger rates to
all portant points in Vermont New Hamp-
shire and western New York and the out
look is very threatening. 1t is thought that
freight rates will be involved in few days.
1t is now claimed that the beligerentl atti-
tude of the West shore is owing,
in a measure, to Gould's influence.
Gould and his friends have sold the
Vanderbilt stocks short to the extent of many
millions, and they are represented to be not
at all averse to railroad war which will re-
duce the value of the securities they have
sold and enable them to cover at a large
profit.
Vanderbilt says that Erie is bankrupt, and
that even President King cannot now save
it. Central & Hudson was attacked at the
opening, and this brought out large amount
of long stock. Lake Shore came next, and
Telegraph, which has heretofore stood the
brunt Of the battle, gave way before the
day closed. Delaware s. Lackawanna and
Union Pacific appeared to be supported
and stood their grond remarkably well for a
time but the pressure became too great and
they joined the balance in their downward
course. The bears had it all their own way,
and the opposition have been so badly
worsted, that it looks as though liquidation
may continue for some time to come. The
earnings of the Northwestern continue to
show a falling off, the decrease for the sec
ond week in October being about 500, 600.
This was a damper the stock. The
market appeared completely demoralzed
at the finish and though there was
considerable evening up for the week, the
rallies amounted to but little and stocks
were about the lowest for the day, when the
exchange closed. Old and conservative
brokers say that the lowest prices have not
been reached yet, and that the war of rates,
according to their information, will within
few days take the additional shape of cutting
OF freights in some proportion as the passen-
ger rates have been put down. 1t is believed
that the pool will be absolutely broken up,
and this may explain why COM
missioner Fink has been so anxious
to resign during the past months. Fink
originated the pool scheme, and is not
anxious to be in at the death.
The big bears have returned to the market
within the past three days and are selling
| all the trunk and coal stocks short.

American Railroad Iron Selling
Cheaper in Canada than
EnpliSh Iron

MONTREAL, Oct. 1S.-The Canadian Pa
cific railway has just concluded contract
with the Lackawanna Iron and Coal COM
pany, of Scranton, Pa, for 10000 tons of
steel rail at $3.50 per ton at the mills, or
delivered to any Canadian port or in New
York for S26.50. 1t is believed this is the
first time an American company has been
successfully in competition with English
manufacturers for steel rails delivered in
Canada. The reason given by the assistant
general manager of the Canadian Pacific
railway is the American price is about 50 pei
ton cheaper, owing to the present combina-
ton among manufacturers there.
