THE NORTHWESTERN JOBBERS.
Their Requests of the Classification
Committee Probably to Receive
Favorable Consideration.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

CHICAGO, May S.-Messrs. P. II. Kelly, Geo. R.
Finch, c. W. Hackett and H. H. Hoppin, the ST..
Paul Jobbers, arrived here in special car yes
terday, coming from st. Louis, where they had
successfully engineered movement to nullify
the efforts Of Chicago and st. Louis wholesalers
to secure determinations railroad rates against
northwestern jobbers. There were present at
the meeting representatives of 186 jobbing firms
The ann is not to secure lower freight
rates, but to retain the present
classification OF freight by which
reductions are obtained on car loads by the west
ern Jobbers. The truth is, the whole thing is a
tight between the wholesale men of Chicago and
st. Louis and the smaller jobbers and shippers
in the west and northwest. These jobbers have
been getting special car load rates from the rail-
roads, which enables them to undersell the Chi
cago and st. Louis men in smaller lots to retail
dealers, and the large wholesale men insist on
an abolition of this discrimination in classification
as destructive to the interests of the retailers,
the large jobbers and the railroads and as unfair
and unjust
A temporary organization was effected by the
election of r. E. Turner of st. Joseph, presi-
dent, and ii. P. Hoppin, of st. Paul, vice -presi
dent. Yesterday Messrs. Hackett, More, Ray
mond, Andrew, Gallagher, Hidden and Finch,
the gentlemen who were appointed to present
the desires of the merchants to the classification
committee, waited on that commission with the
following resolution:
WHEREAS, 1t is understood that petition is
now before the Joint Western Pool association
classification committee to abolish the present
carload rates on freight; therefore,
Res0t0ed, By the shippers, wholesale mer-
chants and manufacturers of the Mississippi and
Missouri river valleys in convention this day as
sembled, that we most earnestly protest against
the said proposed changes being detrimental
to the interests alike of the railroads interested
and this body, who are their principal patrons.
Arguments supporting the resolutions were
made by the committee, and they were assured
by the classification committee that their request
would receive careful consideration, and there
is no doubt that the northwestern jobbers will
gain their point.
Before final adjournment the meeting was or
ganlzed into permanent association as ''the
Mississippi and Missouri Valley Trade associa-
tioa," with the following officers: President, P
H. Kelly, OF st. Paul; secretary, W. Fl. Hall, of
Kansas City: vice presidents Messrs. Gregory,
Of Kansas City; johnson, of St. Joseph; j. r.
Nutting, of Davenport; Geo. r. Finch, of st.
Paul, and R. y Brookings.
The car containing the ST. Paul delegation.
augmented by General Freight Agent j. H. Hi
land, of Omaha, S. r. Dawson, and a number of
other prominent northwesterners was attached to
the noon train over the Northwestern to-day,
and will arrive in st. Paul tomorrow morning.

Walsh Makes a Further Statement
Regarding KelIogg's Escapes

WASHINGTON, May s.-At meeting of the
Springer committee this morning several mem
bers opposed entering upon the Kellogg Investi-
cation unless instructed to do SO by the house.
Mr.. Milliken sid, he understood that Kellogg
would drop the matter if the committee con-
cluded not to consider it. The committee in
structed the chairman to inform Kellogg. if
his witnesses remained in the city
they would do at their own
expense. The witnesses referred to, were
those brought here by Kellogg before his recent
trial, and afterwards subpoaened to appear be-
fore the committee.
John A. Walsh was present, and inquired when
the committee desired him to appear as witness.
An informal discussion followed relative to the
testimony that Walsh could give, during the

MISSOURI RIVER COMMISSION.
The bill creating permanent Missouri river
commission was reported to the house to-day
from the commission on commerce. 1t provides
for the appointment Of five commissioners, three
of them from the army, to have charge of the
improvement of the Missouri river. The com
mission will urge this bill as preferable to the
river and harbor bill plan, as the commission
created by ihe river and harbor bill is for only
one year, while that of the commerce commission
