CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-No compromise regarding
the prevailing cut rates was reached to-day at
the meeting of the Southwestern Passenger As
ISOLATION. It was agreed that the Baltimore g.
Ohiotickets had reduced the through figures from
Kansas City to Chicago to so. and that all
OF the business was turned over to the Alton
and Wabash roads. The Burlington desired to
have authority conceded to it TO meet any cut-
rate found in the market. which was assented
to. 1t was intimated that the Burlington peo-
pie will take the matter in their own hands. al
though the commissioner will establish $9-rate
for all lines The Baltimore 81 Ohio refused to
take it's tickets out of the market.

The Question of Rates ON Dry Goods.

sent formal reply. Wednesday, to the demand
of the dry goods trade for a Reconsideration of
cotton piece goods. In the absence in Europe of
Charles S. Smith, it was addressed to Cornelius
n Bliss, one of the committee of dry goods
merchants. The letter was read by Mr. Bliss
this afternoon at q meeting of merchants inter
ested The committee deemed it unsatisfactory,
as it reduced the classification on only eleven
or the twenty-one articles specified in the de-
mand. aud made them third class instead of
fourth class as demanded. The other ten arti-
cles are left first class. The committee decided
to ask for another conference and wrote to
Commissioner Fink with that end in view.

The Chicago Division OF the Wabash.
It is believed that the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe will obtain control of the Chicago di-
vision of the Wabash, reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. It is even said that the Wa
bash does not care to retain the Chicago divis-
lon. This division extends from point Ave miles
from Chicago, to bingham and Altamont, aud
from Strawn TO Ssreator, and has a total mileage
of 246 miles, with a bonded debt of 81, 500, 600.
The Streator branch and the line south of Be-
ment about one hundred miles in all, are not
able to earn operating expenses, while the line
from Bement to Chicago is a good-paying
property of itself, as it is part of
the St Louis and Chicago line of the
Wabash, but all Of Its net earnings, and more
too, are required to make up the deficit of the
lame portions The whole division could be
thrown overheard and new road constructed
between Bement aud Chicago for about SO $780,
000 and that is really all the mileage ia this re-
gion that the Wabash wants. Besides. by get
ting rid of the Chicago division and building
new Chicago connection. the Wabash company
would save interest on about 81 900, 900 and be
relieved of 100 miles of useless line Again. the
northern terminus of the Chicago division as an
independent road would be Ave miles south of
Chicago, and would have TO secure q new en-
trance into the city. The present terminal
grounds used by rhe division are owned by the
Western Indiana company, in which latter the
Wabash has a one-fifth interest. Consequently
che Wabash will continue to keep it's terminal
facilities If 1t gives up its Chicago division.

In 1919, as John Mimic had to 20 up
the Columbia river, he took passage with
nm indian chief who had something of II
retiuuc. There was Il sub chief who
looked after things of minor Importance,
md Il dusky maiden to whom old Pu-pu
Mon MoA, who was then Il great chief and
was destined later to fall in battle in com
inand of the combined forces of the Inland
Empire. showed very devoted attention.
There were also several slaves, who drove
the canoes with their paddles for motive
power. Somewhere on the grand river.
when among the ranges hat tower above
Cape Horn, Mimic noticed that the Indians
acted very %singularly and rather suspi-
ciously. They stopped the canoes and
looked down in the water intently. Then
two slaves and a sub chief got into the
smaller canoe and started to cross the
river suddenly Mimic dropped on it,
and saw what the Indians saw. 1t was
one of those beautiful transparent days
when the air and water are clear rs crys-
tai. The sun of autumn either had not
risen so rs to reach the deep canyon with
its rays or had dropped behind the west
crn heights. Anyway, these heights
were reflected SO perfectly on the surface
of the river that the Indians had watched
the mountain sides as they padded along.
Thu cause of their strange action was
seeing II bear OF n high ridge across the
river from them eating berries. The
slaves took fusees across the river to at
tack. They climbed the BLUM, took aim,
fired, missed and the bear ran away-he
was not hurt. All this Mimic saw on
the river surface without straining his
eyes to the mountains summit Port

About half n century ago at New
market several horses who stood high in
the betting at different times suddenly
went off sick just before the race for
which they We're entered; some died,
others recovered, but all were disabled
for the time being and f~avorites that n
few hours previously outstripped every
rival would come struggling yards behind
the field. Every one knew they had
been 'nobbled, " but for u long time the
perpetrator remained undiscovered; at
last, however, a notorious scoundrcl,
one Dan Dawson, was caught redhandcd
poisoning tho troughs. During the trial
it came out that he had made a regular
trade of these nefarious practices, and it
was more than suspected that not a few
of the biggest men on the turf were his
employers. But although he was con
demned to death. whether from the hope
mat some among his influential patrons
would intercede for a reprieve or from
that hatred which certain men of his
class ave against 'peaching, - he never
betrayed them and remained silent to
the end. The most minute precautions
are taken to guard the race horse from
such dangers, yet the cunning or daring
