The War Confined tn Milling Bust
ness.

The reduction on rates by the North
western Traffic association lines, is con-
fined strictly to the milling in transit, and
grain business on east bound shipments. No
open cuts were made yesterday, ngr is there
any expectation that any will be made, but
large shippers are given rates below tariff
on the quiet; which the road has hushed up
by reporting tariff to the pool. This, if not
stopped, will have a serious effect on the
permanency of the association. and on the
adjustment of present difficulties. Some
of the railroad officials state that it is i'm
possible to avert a full hedged war on
freights and not until the general managers
come to their senses by noticing fall
ing off in earnings will they come
to an understanding. The low
rates will influence shipping. and
by the time rates are restored the rush of
traffic will be over and the railroads will
see hard times. The benefit of these low
rates will not be felt alone by the shippers
but by the roads which receive business
from the cutting lines at junction points, as
the Northern Pacific and Manitoba do at
Minnesota Transfer. The passenger agents
are little uneasy over the appearances, as
there is a possibility of the war spreading to
the passenger business. Such would arise
from a malicious feeling and with a desire
of the general managers to affect their COM
petitorS and make them sue for peace.

get out at the front part of the saloon by

ST. paul Gets too Much.

The roads via st. Paul have lately been
making much lower rates to points west
and including Oregon Short Line junction
via Council Bluffs and Kansas City, than
those in force by the Chicago, st. Louis q
Missouri River Passenger association, and
consequently nearly all the business is di-
rected by way of ST. Paul and the Northern
Pacific The Council Bluffs and Kan
sas City roads, which have no
outlet via st. Paul, state that they will no
longer tolerate this diversion of business,
and will take steps to prevent it, a reso-
luton was adopted, which was mentioned
in yesterdays GLOBE, to the effect that the
passenger business through st. Paul to
points named must be put up on the same
basis as rates through Council Bluffs and
Kansas City. The condition of affairs is
rather precariOus and the result may be a
war on passenger rates from Chicago on
Pacific coast business. The Southwestern
lines are disposed to either compel the roads
via ST. Paul to make the same rates OF they
will reduce their prices accordingly. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the st. Paul
lines will not be dictated to by competitors,
but whether the st. Paul lines will lower
the present rate if it is met by the Missouri
river lines is impossible to state.

Joint Tariff by Rail and River.

A joint tariff quoting rates from Chicago,
Milwaukee and Racine to points on the
Mississippi river from Dubuque to st.
Paul inclusive, by the Diamond 10 line,
has been issud. The new rates went into
effect April 20. These joint tariffs for the
rail and river routes have for many years
occasioned no little trouble over business
for Mississippi river points and not until
the present season has there been any
agreement by the Northwestern rail lines
against entering into a compact with the
steamboat lines for the business. Such an
agreement is now in existence, however,
between the Northwestern, Burlington,
Rock Island and the Milwaukee u st.
Paul roads, and it is in consequence of this
that unusual Importance is attached to the
issuance of the Diamond JOS joint tariff,
which, contrary to those issued in former
years, does not name the railway with
which cooperation is had in forming the
rail and river route. The rates quoted are
very low, in some instances being less than
the charges by rail to any point on the
river where freight can be received by the
boat line. The general belief is that the
Diamond 10 people, finding themselves de-
prived of the fayors enjoyed in past sea-
sons, have adopted this course in hopes of
inducing some one of the roads to break
from the agreement.

CHICAGO, April 22.-The freight war
was still on to-day, with no new develop
ments, and the heat of conficts was not as
intense as when the first cut was made.
The rates obtained Monday were quoted to-
day both in the Western and Northwestern
territory. In the latter, the st. Paul road
did not meet the rates made by the North
western, holding firm under Geographic
instructions from Milwaukee to quote full
tariff and adhere to it. The lowering in
rates did not cause any increase i'll the
freight movement. On the contrary, ship
pers are holding off, expecting a still fur
ther reduction. There was a general ex-
preston of opinion among railroad officials
that the present furry was not
destined to be of very long du=
ration, and the idea was held that
a compromise would soon come, and apeace
patched up. The date of the compromise
is rule put forward to time of expiration
of the tripartite thirty days notice OF the

subject will receive due consideration. Ii
the tripartite was wiped out of existence,
the future would present less obstinacy and

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 22.-Up to
this evening no notice of any open cut in
rates to ST. Paul had been received here.
At the st. Paul offices quiet reigned, broken
only by the monthly meeting of freight
agents to adjust minor business. This
quietude, however, is by no means accepted
as presaging peaceful settlement of trouble.
1t is rather taken as forerunner of a
storm of more than ordinary dimensions. 1t
is asserted, however, that the st. Paul road
will not commence hOStilitieS. If a war is
inaugurated it will have to be done by the
other roads.
