Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul road for re-
fusing to allow the erection of a pub
lie warehouse on its land at Sacred

allow any person land on which to
build fiat warehouse, and shall
also build the necessary side tracks
and furnish facilities for unloading grain.
All the roads in the state, except the Chi
cago Milwaukee & st. Paul road, have
agreed to the point in question. but this
company will not in some cases. A similar

The Baltimore and ohio Trouble.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.-Officials of
the freight department of the Pennsylvania
railroad deny that the Baltimore s. Ohio
freight was refused shipment over the
Delaware & Rariton canal, as has been
reported, and that the Southern line was
thus shut out from New York, The Off
Gals declare that the canal company made
several contracts with the Baltimore &
Ohio company, at special rates, and, as it
became evident that the canal was to be
used as a convenience, the Delaware &
Raritan company, informed the railroad
company, that unless it entered into con-
tract for specified time it would have to
pay regular tariff rates. The Baltimore &
Ohio simply refused to do this.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE freight
agents of the Grand Trunk lines met at
Commissioner Fink's Office this afternoon
and discussed the position of the Baltimore
& Ohio in the pool. 1t was said after the
meeting that no action had been taken, but
that the matter had been left to the COM
missioner. On the street it was rumored
that New Jersey Central officials had
signed the Baltimore & Ohio traffic con-
tract. Director Williams of the New Jer-
sey Central said, when called upon, that it
would be out of place for him to make an
announcement of any agreement with the
Baltimore 81 Ohio. Other officials who
were searched for were out of town. Vice
President Spencer of the Baltimore e.
Ohio, who was present at the agents meet
ing, said he had not signed the agreement,
which was a contract for the use of the
CentraPS track between Bound Brook, N.
j., and Jersey City. He refused to give the
terms of the contract or the length of time
that it should run.
