The LocaI Committee Meets.

The local committee of the Northwestern
Traffic association met the officers of the
st. Paul 81 Duluth road yesterday in the
Office of Traffic Manager Clarke of the
Omaha road. The meeting was to ratify
the one held at Chicago Monday, and in
duce the St. Paul d Duluth, if possible, to
advance its rates from Duluth to ST. Paul
and Minneapolis. This MeSSrs. Fisher and
Dodge, who represented the st. Paul u Du-
Iuth, refused TO do, and they used such ar
gulnentS that thoroughly convinced the
representative of the other lines present
mat the st. Paul IL Duluth was altogether
reasonable in its views, and that the rates
IL was making were just and fair, and
could not be advanced without serious re-
suits TO its revenue. The rates now in
force are: ON fiTst-class, % cents; second
class, 20 cents; third-claSS, Is cents;
tourth-elaSS. 10 cents; fifth-claSs, cents.
The rates which the Chicago lines were
wanting the st. Paul Il Duluth 10 make
are: tirst-claSs, so cents; secOnd-claSS, 20
cents; third-class, IS cents; fourth-claSS,
10 cents; fifth-claSS, 10 cents. The
st. Paul IL Duluth argued that the
former rates were what they considered
Just in proportion TO what the rates were
by Chicago. 1t also shows that all the
I
opening of navigation were % per cent. less
than they were for the corresponding period
last year. After this meeting was adj
Journed the representatives of the Milwau-
kee IL st. Paul, the Omaha and the Mime
apoliS * st. Louis held session lasting for
an hour or two and discussed the situation.
The West Shore and Lackawanna roads
have for some time been making extremely
low rates from New York to St. Paul and
Minneapolis by the Green Bay and WiScon-
sin Central route, and on this MeSSrS.
Clarke, BOyden and Hanley talked for
some time and considered whether any
action could be taken.
OF course, the Wisconsin Central is not
connected with any pool or association on
such business, and can make what rates it
chooses ON this business. 1t is claimed that
the West Shore and Lackawanna roads are
making a rate of 80 cents on
first class TO Green Bay from
New York by lake and rail per
100 pounds, and on other business rates in
proportion. The through rate TO St. Paul
from New York is lower by this route than
by any other. Contracts have been made
over it for 30 cents per 100 pounds, which
is cents less than by the Duluth and
WaShbum lines. This rate, however, is
not quoted openly. but is given to preferred
shippers. The rate from New York tn St
Paul by all rail j. 90 cents per 100 pounds
first class, 20 cents 20 Chicago and so cents
from there. Nothing can be done to equal
iZe the rate while the Wisconsin Central is
out of the Northwestern Traffic association.

made TO either force it or induce it to join &.

A STATES LIABILITY.

The New York law forbids savings banks
from investing in banks of states which
have repudiated their obligations, and
which have within ten years failed or re-
fused TO pay either principal or interest of
their debt. The state of Georgia is now
making an effort to place its securities with
the Savings Bank of New York, which is
being resisted by HENRY CLEws, the
banker. upon the ground that he is the
holder of certain securities of the state
which have been repudiated. The securi-
ties held by CLEws are the state bonds
issued by the BULLOCK carpet-bag govern
ment and which were repudiated by con-
stitutional amendment adopted in Georgia
in 1877. The reason assigned for this pro-
ceeding on the part of the state was
that the obligations had not been law
fully contracted, and therefore were not
binding. The attorney general of New
York las been appealed to for decision
in the matter. Mr.. CLEws insists that, as
Georgia has repudiated debt, the law of
New York prohibits the savings banks of
that state from investing in Georgia bonds.

The Pool Prolonged.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, July GA meeting of the
lines that are members of the Colorado
Utah association, comprising that portion
operating east of the Missouri river, to-
gether with the general and tariff managers
of the Union Pacific road, was held at
Commissioner J. w. Midgley's office to-
day. The meeting was called to take into
consideration the grievances of the
Milwaukee &c st. Paul line, the officials
of which about two months ago
gave notice of its intention to withdraw
from the pool. This action, as understood,
was based upon its discomfort with its per-
centage as awarded by the arbitrator. The
discussion was principally confined to the
question Of percentages and the statements
of the ST. Paul people regarding their de-
mand, and q temporary agreement was
arrived at by the adoption of resolution,
whereby the parties to the association
agree 10 prolOng its life until Oct. IS,
subject to thirty days notice of withdrawal,
after that date. 1t was also agreed that
the percentages to govern be referred to
three arbitratOrs, who will make their
award upon arguments and statistics to be
submitted by the roads which are parties to
>the business. This is to prevail. provided
that an agreement is not reached on per-
centages by the joint representatives before
final adjournment. The meeting then adj
jOurned until 9 o'clock tomorrow.

Zines running from Chicago to st. I.ouis)
by reason of insufficient limit, were utilized
by scalpers in quantities, and it was re-
solved that the committee should instruct
the Western lines that the roads east from
chicago were trying TO maintain rates, and
that one of the hindrances to it was the
fact that the Western lines issue of tickets
comes into the Chicago market, and into
the hands of scalpers at
LESS THAN THE PREVAILING RATES
out of Chicago, and the chairman requested
them to render the Chicago committee their
assistance by giving the proper orders gov
erning their issue of through tickets, so as
TO prevent any other decentralization in this
direction. 1t would now appear that the
Chicago scalpers and brokers cannot get
any more issues from the Western lines
and are now working the Northwestern
ones 1t is very neat scheme, and If the
ticket agent is quite certain of not being
found out he would sell in blocks quite
often, as he would derive a good profit
from their sale. A ticket to points
east of Chicago from Minneapolis
have two coupons; one for the line to Chi
cago, and the other for the line from there.
The local agent is allowed So commission
from the Eastern trunk lines for the sale of
the ticket to New York. Sales are not
made from Minneapolis as frequently as
from Chicago to New York, and the local
agent tears off the first coupon from unlim-
tied tickets, stamps them. and sells them to
q broker at Chicago. The broker by this
means can have 81 for himself, give the
passenger the advantage of 81 in rate, and
the Minneapolis agent has 81; so no matter
what the rate from Chicago, the scalper
can always sell at rate below the railroad

THE CHOLERA sCOURGE.
Report on the NEGOTIATIONS of Dr.
Ferran.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-COl. John W.
Foster, United States minister to Spain,
has transmitted to the state department
report made to him by E. De La Grainia. a
physician of Boston, on The Cholera in
Spain and the Pretended Prophylactic
Anticholeric NEGOTIATIONS of DR.. Ferran.
DIR. La Grainja accompanied the medical
commission which was recently sent to
valencia by the Spanish government
! to investigate the condition of the
cholera epidemic which is prevailing
i'll that province and to report upon the eff
cacy OF the new system of incubation
practlced by Dr.. Ferran. DR.. La Grainia de-
scribed the arrival of the commission at
Alerla, town of $4,000 inhabitants in the
infected district, May 80, and tells of the
enthusiasm of the inhabitants over DIR.
Ferran's treatment. They clamored that
Dr. Ferran remain among them and save
them from the scourge. On May 81 the
commission went to Algemzi and found
genuine cholera raging there The doctor
anu the commission decided to spend the
rest OF the afternoon in the ex-
ANIMATION of the inhabitants who
had been moculated by DR.. Ferran,

OF those examined were quite large and all

marks or scars other than those made by
the hypodomeric syringe, and now almost
oblIterated. Some of them stated that they

The inoculated do not appear to acquire
much immunity, because they are attacked
by cholera and die like those

been correct in his theories and in
the suppOsition that the microbia is the
cause of the cholera, I do not know
whether humanity would have been bene-
fitted or damaged by his pretended prophy-
Tactic discoveries. If every inocuiated
person had suffered from the experimental
or attenuated cholera, and the diarrhpa
consequent to it had been with microbias,
the person would have been as sure of in

waterloo Route Tariff.

The Minnesota &c Northwestern Railway
company has issued its first freight tariff on
business from st. Paul to Dubuque over
the Illinois Central from Mona. The rates
are as follows:
First class, IS cents per 100 pounds; sec
ond class. go cents; third class, so cents;

rates by that line being: First class, so cents
per 100 pounds; second class, 40 cents;
third class. so cents; fourth class, 90 cents.
and fifth class, 10 cents, and then these

Northern Pacific Cattle Shipments.

The Concord Cattle company of Montana
will ship a large number of cattle to the
East in about a week, and in about ten days
from now beef shipping to the Eastern
markets from Montana will set in. The
Northern Pacific expects to ship from
Washington territory, Montana and West
ern Dakota TO Chicago markets about 10O,-
600 head of beeveS, $4,000 or 80, 600 of
which will be slaughtered at MedOra and
carried on 10 Chicago in dressed beef refrig-
orators. Over ), 900 horses and 20, 900 NUT
ton sheep will be shipped to the East also,
which will make in all eaSt-bound shipments
for the season les, 900 head. The Northern
Pacific freight department is making up a
statement of young cattle and blooded bulls
and stations shipped into Montana this sea-
son. The number is estimated at $1,000
head, against 9S, 900 head last year. The de-
crease is about 80 per cent, which is owing
to the quarantine laws which regulated the
shipments of cattle. The effect of the
law was most depressing on the shipping of
graded stock and bulls from Eastern states,
and had the effect to check shipments from
Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, by parties
who would have shipped west, but miSin-
terpreted the regulations and stipulatiOnS of
the quarantine laws. But the loss on west
bound shipments was made up by the in
crease on east bound cOnSignmentS. and the
numbers shipped in 1884 and 1885 will be
nearly equal, little over 200, 600 head for
each year.
On the 2Sth of this month twenty-five
cars of beef cattle will be shipped from
Sprague to Chicago, which will be followed
by several more train loads from the same
place.
The Northern Pacific has sent out a few
buyers to the chief shipping points to buy
all the marketable cattle they can secure for
cash.

Chicago, was in Minneapolis on Monday,
and it is claimed that while there he
bought block of Milwaukee and Omaha
tickets 10 Niagara Falls with the coupon
from Minneapolis to Chicago torn of. 1t

cago TO Niagara Falls. They refused TO

Frank said he could get them from the
other roads. and produced two blocks of
tickets. numbering in all about 100. Omaha
and Milwaukee officials claim that some
thing is wrong about il, and do not believe
their agents did any such thing. This
practice has been the means of demoraliZ-
ing rates from Chicago east, but not during
the last year has any of the Northwest

business. A meeting of the Chi
