The Traffic Troubles.

Yesterday rumOrS were current in rail-
road circles that there was more signifi-
canoe to be placed in the nOn-appearance of
General Manager Miller of the Milwaukee
q st. Paul road, at the meeting of the
Northwestern Traffic association at Chicago
on Tuesday, than many supposed. Those
who understand the situation of affairs were
10th to talk on the subject, not being quite
certain whether they were on the right track.
1t was stated to be fact though, that Mr..
Miller was not so Overcrowded with busi-
ness at Milwaukee but what he could have
attended, but staid away because he did not
want to go over the same ground twice. 1t
is well known that within the next sixty
days ST. Paul will have another through
line to Chicago which will be nearly as
short as the Omaha or Milwaukee roads,
and of course will cut big slice from the
business which the Northwest furnishes the
pool. The new through line is the Min
nesota & Northern, which will be in run
ming order by June 1 or thereabouts and
will connect with the Illinois Cen
tral at Mona junction for Chicago.
This line will compete for the milling busi
ness at Minneapolis, and if the lines now
parties to the Northwestern Traffic associa-
ton agreement do not open to this line, it
izing rates. General Manager Miller of the
Milwaukee is no doubt aware of this, and
has given the subject serious enough con-
sideration to see that anything done with
the pool in its present status would have to
be gone over again when the new line COM
menced operating. He has no doubt also
noticed that to adjust the pool complica-
tions would be to lose that part of the busi
ness which the Milwaukee road does not
report to the pool-the milling in transit
business. That Northwestern pool
matters will not be settled for
some time to come is fact beyond dispute.
The Milwaukee road is sincere in the position
it has taken and will not withdraw unless
perhaps it is offered increased percentage,
which the other roads will not consent to,
as they themselves have asked for an in
crease. not because they really thought Of
getting it, but to counteract the Milwaukee.
1t is not known when General Manager
Miller viii be at leisure to attend another
meeting, but it is supposed he will be busy
until the approach Of the Minnesota &
Northern toward completion.

That Lake Superior Pool.

The report that pool would be formed
by the st. Paul roads ON Lake Superior
business had no other effect than the OPEN
ing of an old wound. The scheme has
been talked of for the last year or more,
and though practical enough If once ar
ranged, the roads concerned would be at a
loss how to base percentages or divide the
business The Omaha, St. Paul & Duluth.
Northern Pacific and Manitoba have
each the same rates TO Duluth, though
the Northern Pacific has much
the longest haul. while the Manitoba has its
through line over the ST. Paul d Duluth
from Hinckley station. The great trouble
would be in arranging percentages, as
neither the Omaha nor Northern Pacific
would willingly allow the portion Of the
whole which the St. Paul & Duluth
would claim The Omaha had a contract
with the Evans Transit company last year
on the lake business. and the steamboat
line wanted 10 renew the contract this year,

The Texas Governor Sits Down ON
a Job.

AUSTIN, Tex, April 15.-Gov. Ireland
to-day vetoed the land bill passed by the
Nineteenth legislature Immediately prior to
its recent adjournment. The act provides
for the sale of the common school, univer-
sity and asylum lands in the organized and
unorganized counties, also for the sale of va
can tracts of less than $40 acres in organized
counties. By the terms of the bill all the vast
acreage of the school and university lands
of Texas were placed in the market for sale
or for lease at cents per acre, for periods
not exceeding six years. The governor
finds that the bill has two distinct objects,
thus violating the constitution. He points
out the Objectionable provisions in several
sections and says: ''Byno act Of mine will
/ ever sanction the acquisition Of those
vast tracts of lands by one management. -

but the railroad company refused to do
what would injure their business, viz:
Give their business to a certain
line to the exclusion of all others. The
proposition of forming pool this season
has only been talked of by few steam
boat lines, thinking to secure all the traffic
at Duluth and close that port to all new
lake lines wanting to run in. The railroad
companies, though, are close enough OBJ.
servers to notice that the more steamboat
lines the more business, and without pool
this lake trade would develop more rapidly.
The news of the formation of a pool, pro-
mulgated yesterday morning, was really
such to the traffic managers of the lines in
terested, but after having gained their equii-.
librium after such an attack, pronounced 1t
a sensational fiction.

New YORK, April 15.-The Pennsyl-
vania continues to do large business in
emigration, and it has placed itself in good
condition to attend to it, greatly to the sur
prise of the other lines. 1t has now made
new departure in the way of convenience
to steamship arrivals. Heretofore arrival
passengers were taken with their luggage
to Castle Garden on tenders, and after
being reported and through with
the other customary formalities they
were again put on the barges
and taken to the depot in Jersey City. The
Pennsylvania has now adopted and got in
good working order series of fiat ferry
boats on which the cars are placed and the
emigrants are taken in them to Castle Gar
den and back again to Jersey City depot
without any inconvenience to them. For
the last few days the influx of emigration
has been rather light, but one or two Ger
man steamers are due Friday with about
1000, nearly all for the Northwest ON the
