Frederick Billings, of the Northern Pacific,
reached st. Paul yesterday, after trip over
the road. He found the road in good condi-
! ton and everything along the line OF 1t salts
factory and promising.
A party of twenty-five people belonging to
the Raymond aud Whitcomb excursionists
from the Yellowstone park, returned yester-
| day. and went { asst last night over the Mil
waukee a st. Paul road.
The Milwaukee & st. Paul has gang of

| The Sioux City association, composed of the
| Illinois Central, the Chicago Northwestern,
the Milwaukee & st. Paul, Sioux City & Pacific
! and the Omaha roads, have issued a joint
freight tariff between Chicago, Milwaukee,
/ Racine, Racine junction, ST. Paul, Minneapo-
! lis or Minnesota Transfer and Sioux City,
Ia, taking effect yesterday.
1t will be remembered that during the cy
| clone ut Sank Rapids the station building at
! that place was wrecked. The people OF that
! town have been very anxious to have the
! structure rebuilt, but it has not, up to Tues
day night, been possible for tue road TO do it.
for the reason that there was dispute about

There was a,good deal of speculation yester-
day among the employees of tbs Northern Pa
ciic road as to what the board of directors
of the road proposed to do at the meeting
this week. A brief dispatch published in the
GLOBE yesterday morning, stating that II
change would be made in the directorate.
and that it wCs generally understood
that two Boston directors would be dropped
from the regular ticket, was what caused the
interest to be felt in the matter. If change
starts there is no telling where it may end.
The efforts made by the Canadian Pacific
to take business away from the Northern Pa
cifc is not much relished. The Victoria
Times of the Sd inst says: ut is possible to
overestimate the benefits of the Canadian Pa
ence of the Northern Pacific. The merchants
of Victoria have to thank the Northern Pa
/ cific for the comparatively cheap fares which
they now enjoy; and if freights are to remain
cheap it will be in consequence OF the oppo-
sitiOn of this, the most liberal or the trans
! continental roads. failure to remember
this great truth may lead the Victoria mer-
chants to kill the goose that laid the golden
egg"
The San Francisco Chronicle says: The
| Chicago Il Northwestern railway is Still push
| ing its way Westward through Northern Ne
braska, and will probably enter Utah before
the end of next year 1t is now conceded on
every hsnd that the object of the projectors
of this line is to construct road through to
| this coast. 1t is the talk in railway circles
here that en- arrangement has already been
perfected between the Chicago s. Northwest
ern and the Donahue line by which the former
company may reach the bay overthe track of
the latter. Some force is given to these re-
ports by the avowed intention of the Dona-
hue people to extend their line into the noun
tainS.
