SELLING THROUGH SCALPERS
The ST. Louis Thus Dfsposes of Its
Tickets.
No Good Evidence That Rates Are
Being Cut.
The St. Louis, Withdrawn.

The St. Louis Withdrawal.
So far as could be ascertained at railroad
headquarters yesterday there was really no
change in the passenger rate situation be-
tween Minneapolis and st. Paul and Chi
cago, except that the st. Louis road began
to sell through scalpers just as it threatened
to do. The agents of that road say that
that does not necessarily mean cut in the
rates; that heretofore this was done and
there was no complaint The other Chicago
lines do not place any confidence in this
statement. They say, however, that if
the st. Louis road does that and moth
ing more they will have no cause for
complaint, as the rates could and would be
maintained. They have no faith in any
such statement If the dealings are through
scalpers, they have no doubt that sooner or
later the cut will come. They claim they
are not prepared to say what their course
would be if the st. Louis road should make
a cut There is little doubt though, that
the cut would be met by the other roads,
selling over their counters at the cut rate.
The other Chicago roads declare that they
cannot see why the ST. Louis road should
withdraw, for if it was determined to main
tain the rates after it withdrew, it might as
well be in as out. The other roads have been
looking up the alleged cases of rate cutting,
and declare them to be wholly without
foundation, and they say they are willing
to submit atfidavits made by the gentlemen
who sold the tickets complained of, to the
effect that they obtained full rates for each
ticket. They further assert that all this
talk about the other roads cutting rates is a
blind; that the putting on of the fast trains
is what hurts. and that the withdrawal is
made for the purpose Of Furnishing these
two roads that have put on these fast trains
They assert that the st. Louis road doesn't
want to bear the odium of disarranging the
railroad business and disturbing the bust
ness of the two cities, so it has trumped up
this fictitious story about these two roads
having been engaged in cutting rates, to
furnish it with an excuse to withdraw. The
above gives the situation here as it was yes
terday.

EAU CLAIRE, May 1.-THE places of saloon
keepers retiring from business May will be
so nearly filed by n ew saloons, as shown by
the number of applications for license at the
last meeting of the council, that the reduction
of saloons will be but slight. "A sneak thief
stole the satchel of j. H. Atwood, travelling
man, from the Nicollet hotel. "A woman of
the Sixth ward made a bonfire Of rubbish
which set her barn on fire and burned the

$500 in the expense of caring for the poor was
made during April under the more rigid sys-
TEN inaugurated during that month . The
senior members of the council are nonplussed
at the persistence OF the mayor in refusing to
recognize the right of the council to elect its
own committees. Grave fears are entertained
that the affairs of the city must remain for
months in the present chaotic condition I'M
