NOT MADE AS A CUT.
The National Dispatch Lowers
the Rates to Maintain the
Right of a Differential.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK. Nov. s9.-The National
Dispatch, a Central Vermont fast freight
line, yesterday lowered its rates to Chi
eago on through business to IS cents on
first class, 2S cents on second. 20 cents
on third, "a cents Oh fourth, 20 cents on
fifth, and is cents on sixth class freight.
The reduction is not made as cut, but
simply to maintain the right OF differ
entail, which is allowed the Central
Vermont during times of peace and
normal rates. The maintenance of such
a differential now. however. makes the
rate from New York to Chicago on
through business nearly so per cent
more via the New York Central or
Pennsylvania than by the National Dis
patch, wherea, it was only 1873 per cent
more before the reduction was made by
the Central a few weeks ago. The fear
now is that the weaker lines are going
to cause a great deal of trouble to the
stronger ones, when the latter finally
come to an understanding among them
selves. as their differentials now make
their rates so much less in proportion
than formerly that they are handling
the greater portion of the business.

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.
Congress Will Get to Work on
Monday and Do Something for
the Country.

the country.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Congress re-
conyenes on Monday, and from a bust
ness view point, the short session is
likely to be more important to the gem
eral progress and material interests of
the country than was the unprecedent-
long session which adjourned in
October. Politics are likely to be re-
legated to the rear and the business in-
terests of the people brought to the
front There is every reason why
measures of national Importance, free
from partisan or sectional preiudlces,
should receive the prompt and
patriotic consideration of cangress
in the spirit of promoting the
general welfare of the people and adj
vancing public prosperity. There are
many measures of such general char
acter already favorably reported from
committees, which failed to become
laws by reason of the pending tariff
bills absorbing the time and attention
of congress to the exclusion Of all other
legislation. There is little probability
of tariff discussion interfering with
other legislation during the closing ses-
sion of the Fiftieth congress. Owing to

heard about the converting of congress,
and while the change of administration
is more than three months away, the
probabilities and possibilities are being
constantly discussed among the poll
ticians. The personnel of the next
cabinet is the all-abSOrblng topic, but
as the president-eleet has
KEPT HIS OWN COUNSEL
in the matter, the greater part OF the
gossip On the subject was of but little
value. 1t is assuredly believed i'll
Washington that Mr.. Blaine will not be
invited to accept the portfolio of the de-
partment of state. but that Senator
Sherman will receive an invitation, and
the indications at this time seem to be
that he will accept. An intimate friend
of Gen. Harrison said to-day that the
statement could be made positive that
Mr.. Blaine'S name had not been Serl-
Ously considered in connection with the
department OF state, all ruinOrs to the
contrary, Notwithstanding. Should MIR.
Sherman enter the cabinet, the present
situation in Ohio warrants the aSSump-
ton. by politicians, that Maj. Mckinley
would be selected as speaker of the
house and that his colleague, Maj. Ben
Butterworth, would succeed Mr.. Sher-
man in the senate. The indications
point very strongly to an extra session
of the Fiftv-frst congress. 1t is known
that Republican leaders will urge the
calling of an extra session with a view
to the admission of the several terri
tories to statehood. Mr.. Springer will
make an effort to have the pending ter
ritorial measures, reported by his COM
mittee, acted upon during the coming
session; but, while he declares that lit
must be DONE" it is not thought prob
able that he will meet with success.
