Roads

Roads.
The Wisconsin Central road has reached
St. Paul, and the question now becomes
more interesting than ever as TO what the
Central is going to do about getting into Chi
cago. In regard to this the Milwaukee Serti-
mel makes the following ? ,r;sft: - +
Nothing new can be learnS ~ VI di.!g the
Ceptral's obtaining tbc light lc Use IN, Mil
waukee Sc ST. Paui's tracks foi through traffic
between St.Paul or Minneapolis aud Chicago,
nor is 1t probable that anyth,tE viii be
learned until affev q meetltg OF tae Miwau-
kee & st. Paul company's directors by whom
the matter Is 10 be considered. A meeting
for this purpose Is to be held at New York.
Jan. q, and will be attended by Presidents
Mitchell and Colby, of the two roads inter
ested, and Assistant General Manager Miller.
ONE OF FOUR ALTERNATIVES.
The ideas of President Colby bave been
clearly expressed regarding al entrance into
Milwaukee and Chicago for tie Central. He
asserts that one Of four things Is certain
The Milwaukee Il st, Paul willhandle the Cen
trails business between Chicago and Schlels-
ingerville, and will permit the Central 10 haul
its own trains thereoyer, an arrangement will
be made with some other line, or the Central
will build its own road into Chicago. As to
the third proposition, that of arranging with
some other line than the ST. Paul, there Is
little likelihood Of any such arrangement be-
ing attempted; that 1t Is also quite as i'm
probable that the St. Paul will permit the
Central to run its own trains over the Chicago
track, so that the question is practically
whether the Milwaukee Il st. Paul will handle
the Ceutral's business, or whether the Cen
tral will construct an independent liue from
Schleisin gerville into Milwaukee and from
here on to Chicago. President Colby has
said that bis company was ready to build such
line, in case satisfactory traffic arrange
ments cannot be made with the st. Paul, and
1t is intimated that, In any case, the road will
be constructed sooner or later Should the
road be built, President Colby looks with favor
upon lake-shore route. His idea is, 10 fol-
low the shore, in side the Chicago i North
western road, thereby tapping Racine,
Keuosha, Waukegan, Evanston and other
desirable business towns between Milwaukee
and Chicago.

The snow has commenced operations here
in Minnesota in a very serious manner. On
Tuesday night at O'Clock, General Super
intendent Whitman, of the Chicago St. Paul
& Omaha road, received reports from stations
all along the line Of his road which repre-
sented everything as calm and smooth every
where from Eiroy west. At 10 o'clock he
received information Of an opposite charac-
ter and at IL O'Clock word came to him that
fearful blizzard was prevailing all along the
road, covering the whole of the eastern and
western DIVISIONS. Orders were at once is
sued to lay up all freight trains By morning
the storm ON the eastern division had SUBJ
sided. Not so however, on tt, western di-
vision. There the storm KEEP, at work in
creasing all the time. The SlesN, City road
is so blocked up with snow that 1t was closed
up for while. A train started out from
Sioux City yesterday morning to fight its way
through to St. James, and it was thought it
might go through last night, but as long as
the storm continues, and the wind blows so
furiously there Is little use In attempting to
clear the track for 1t will fill up just as fast
as it Is cleared, and consequently the money
it costs to clear the track is all thrown away
The managers will wait till the storm SUBJ
sides when they will go to work and open the
road. The storm on he'Sioux City, or west
ern division, extends all along from st. Paul
to Sioux City, and is unusually severe, the
wind blowing hurricane ant. drifting the
snow heavily on the track. There is more
snow on this division than there was q year
ago last February.
No. 2 train, on the St. Paul & Duluth road,
was two hours late owing to snow. There was
no detention at any one place, but the gem
eral delay caused by snow all along the line
compelled It to move very slowly indeed.
The Milwaukee Short line was detained
one hour between St. Paul and Minneapolis,
near Minnehaha.

The Var or East Found Passenger Rates.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
No open hostilities between the eastern
railroads regarding east-bound passenger
rates have not been commenced, but the sit
uation Is becoming so serious that general
drop in rates may be looked for at any mo-
ment. The scalpers were reported to be sell
ing tickets to New York Tuesday over the
Grand Trunk and Western for sl2. which is
Sl.5O less than the rates heretofore charged.
twas also stated that the West Shore is again
selling round trip tickets between New York
and Chicago for S21. At the regular offices
of the Grand Trunk the same rates as before
are being charged, and the company's officials
state that they have not authorized any
further reduction in rates. All the other
roads are sleeping on their arms" waiting
for the Grand Trunk to commence the at
tack. Its not likely that any decisive steps
will be taken before next Monday
Something will have to be done by
that time, as the differential rate
agreement will go out of existence Jan. 1,
and each road can then charge whatever rates
it chooses 1t is quite probable that some
Of the roads, instead of making dfferential
rate, will try to get even Ivy paying higher
commissions, and meet whatever rates are
made by competing roads. Some trouble is
also likely to arise on account of the Grand
Trunks withdrawal from the Chicago asso-
citation and its refusal to sign the rate sheet.
The question will arise whether the western
roads can recognize an independent rate
sheet Of the Grand Trunk.

GEN. BONN.
The Department Commander of the
Grand Army
Visiting Cheyenne With comrade
Ady, Of the National staff.

ID
Yesterday REYNOLDS post of the Grand
Army Of the Republic in this city marched
down to the depot in time to meet the
Denver train and receive the department
commander, Gen. A. V. BONN, and Com
rade George Ady, who is a member Of the
national council of administration. The
post was drawn up in line and when the
visiting party alighted they were saluted
and escorted to a carriage and conveyed to
the Inter Ocean hotel, where they arc now
stopping. A LEADER reporter visited
them and had a talk with them.T Both
came through from Leadyille. having left
there Friday evening. Gen. Bonn is the
manager of the Dahl Herald in the Car
Donate Camp, and Comrade Ady is the
general passenger and ticket agent at
Denver of the Union Pacific system in
Colorado They are both here on busi-
ness connected with the Grand Army en-
compliment and reunion in September,
Gen. Bonn, in his capacity of department
commander, aud Comrade Ady to get
more information of what Is desired IN the
way of railroad accommodations. GEM
BONN said 10 the reporter that an unusu-
ally large body of Grand Army men would
be here from Colorado, also large crowds
of citizens outside OF the order, not speak
ing Of militia, Sons of Veterans. Ladies'
Relief Corps and fremen. He said he
felt safe in saying that there would be
1900 Grand Army men, and, he felt sure
that this city would be overiowed with.
people from Colorado alone, and one of
the special matters which he is here to see
about is that of accommodation. He felt
sure that in a live town like Cheye,n me
there would be no difficulty in the matter
of caring for the crowd provided the peo-
pie are informed as to what to expect, and
he desired to awaken the people to the
importance Of the occasion, ii it had not
already been done. The general looks
hearty fresh, active and Jolly, and he is
all business He is very jealous in Grand
Army affairs aud Is n of the most prac-
teal and able Of all the department COM
manders in the country.
Mr.. Ady was inclined to tax railroad,
he has Just come from Aspen via Lead
vile, and he says Aspen is a great camp,
that there is more good mineral there
than there was in the Comstock, and he
and some friends brought away some
pieces Of ore which they picked up, cas-
ually, which assayed over & thousand
dollars a ton He thinks that when the
Apex litigation is over the camp will have
a big boom. Ashcroft, twelve miles away,
be says, will be another great camp. Jim
Stevenson well known in this region as a
stage man, has put ION a fine line Of new
Concord coaches and everything else IN
