The Board OF Trade Still Dallies
With the Railroad Question.

The board of trade spent pair of
hours yesterday in discussing the rail-
road situation it has created. The ar
members debated and discussed with
the conviction of men who had the de-
cision in their hands. Clay Macauley
opened the ball by Offering the follow
ing:
Whereas. This board of trade is Of the
opinion nat modern industrial and CONNER
cial communities and railways are to large
degree dependent upon one another for their
welfare: and
Whereas, The construction of bridges and
llnderways ut the city's streets is at times
necessary to secure free and safe street
traffic and efficient railway operation; there
fore. be it
Resolved, That if railway companies are
willing 10 construct the abutments and SUI
perstructures OF such bridges and keep them
in repair, ii is but equitable that the city
should build and maintain the approaches
10 the bridges and keep the ways in order
This came as a substitute for the re-
ports OH the table, and Judge Atwater
kept it out by little parliamentary
bluff. The board divided into three
factions, one representing the railroad
interest championed by Clay Macauley,
another backing the city, led by Judge
AtWater. and third taking neutral
position for policy, which J. L. Wyman
led Judge Atwater rather commiserated
the Macaulay committee snd thought it
had been imposed upon in its legal find
ings. FL. A. Towne thought the bridg-
ing policy would bankrupt half the
roads coming into the city. President
Wyman thought the whole matter a
question rather of policy than of law.
Finally the subject was referred back
to the railroad committee, with the
special added to get additional informa-
ton. The committee will report next
Monday and the discussion will be re-
Sumed

The Mexican Southern Railwa!

The Mexican Southern Railway
Surveyed as Far as OaXaca.
CITY OF MENICo, Dec. 10.-The en-
gineers at work on the Mexican South
ern railroad, formerly known as the
OaXaca railroad, have located the line
as far as Tecomayaca, ninety-tbree
lIilometers south of Tehuacan, and the
preliminary surveys have been carried
on as far as the city of Puebla, where
the road will connect with the Inter
Oceanic and Mexico IL Vera Cruz rail
roads. ana also up to the city OF
OaXaca. The contractors hope to begin
actual construction early i'll 1889. and
will complete 22S kilometres in eighteen
months from the date of starting work.
This will be up to Tecomavaca. The
section beyond to OaXaca will be car
ried on during the succeeding twelve
months. There is ample capital be-
hind the enterprise, which is one
of the most important ever under
taken in this republic as it will open up
one of.the richest states in the country,
from which, in ancient times, the Aztec
emperors derived their stores of gold,
and the fame of which induced to CorteZ
to select his estates, which are still held
by his heirs. The mineral wealth is
enormous, the chief metals being
gold, silver, lead and copper. Coal
and iron are also known to exist.
This railway will carry the great
American and Mexican systems some
300 miles further south, and will shorten
the time from Europe and New York to
the South American Pacific ports from
week to ten days in the former and
four to five days in the latter case. On
the completion Of the Isthmus of Teh-
uantepec railroad it will shorten con-
siderably the time to Eastern ports.

Passenger Rates Between the
Twin Cities and Chicago
Fall Fast.
The Burlington & Northern
and Omaha Roads Cut
FipSt-ClaSS Rates.
Cooley and His Commission
Will Inquire Into This
Serious Matter.
Engineers Complete the Sur
vey Of a New Mexican
Road to OaXaca.

Though there was some change in the
situation yesterday regarding the ticket
rate war between ST. Paul and Chicago,
the amount required for ticket was
not altered The charge for first-clasS
tickets was reduced to 81, the same as
charged for second class. For several
days firSt-ciaSS tickets have been sold as
low as 81. 50 that there is nothing new
in this change. The Burlington &
Northern seems to have been the
first road TO make the break. 1t
was about II o'clock in the forenoon
that Mr.. Kenyon notified the MiiWau-
kee IL St. Paul and the Omaha roads
that the first rate Oh his road would ne
81, and that tickets would be sold at
that price for first-caSS transportation
over The Burlington Il Northern coun-
ter to Chicago. Furthermore, that the
Burlington q Northern would hereafter
meet any break i'll the rates. The
same road soon after cut the rates to
st. Louis to So and $40 for the first and
Second-cIaSS. Mr.. Kenyon was in a
Warlike mood yesterday afternoon, and
declared his intention to meet any
lower rate for which ticket over any
other line should be sold, either by a
ticket agent or by broker. The Bur
Hngton IL Northern also put in SIS
round trip rate TO Chicago.
The Omaha followed the Burlington
& Northern on the Chicago and st.
Louis rates, including the SIS round
trip rate.
The Milwaukee & st. Paul is strug-
Cling to hold its firSt-claSs rates, but the
prospects are not at all favorable. Mr.
Dixon telegraphed to headquarters. at
Milwaukee, just what the situation
was, but up to the time OF closing MS
Office had received no reply.
The st. Paul & Kansas City is also
endeavoring to hold up the tirst-claSs
rates, but it is expected that the road,
like the Milwaukee and st. Paul, will
be compelled to surrender.
The Wisconsin Central is also hold
ing off, Mir. Eobb having telegraphed to
Milwaukee for instructions.
The Minneapolis Il st. Louis, it is eX-
pected. will meet the low rates to-dsy.
As long as the Milwaukee d st. Paul
and the st. Paul & Kansas City roads
hold UP the frSt-clasS rates there is
some expectations that the cut will go
no lower. 1t is hardly possible, how
ever to hold rates where they now are,
and it is expected that when the last
named roads give way and drop the
1irst-class rates that everything will go
TO pieces. II is said that the brokers
held a meeting in the morning and
agreed 10 charge 50 for first-claSS and
IS for Second-clasS tickets, but the Bur
lington Il Northern upset the scheme.

MINNEAPOLIS
A CAMPAIGN OF INTELLECT
Being Inaugurated Over the Single Tax
on Land.
REAL ESTATE MEN AROUSED.
Sinqle Tax Men Issue Circular Which
Pr0pounds Leading Ques-
tons.

1t is conceded that the principle of
the single tax in land values will not
have any great opportunity before the
next legislature. 1t is claimed the sim
gle fax IS a reformation, and all re-
formations are brought about by slow
degrees, sometimes after successive
campaigns of intellect and often only
after campaigns of blood. But the sin
gle tax, whatever may be its merits
and however sterling its virtues,
IS a practical innovation, and in
novations make slow Roadway with
state legislatures. But, in spite of
all this. there may be enough behind
the movement to make stir in the
state congress. If the interest mani
tested in Minneapolis were proportion
ate throughout the state, there would
certainly be an nproar; but it isn't. The
real estate dealers and spectators are
now actively up in arms against the
single tax movement, which they de-
clare TO be aimed especially at them.
The single tax men do not deny the
soft Impeachment, but take the bold
ground that they mean to blot out all
real estate speculation. They say:
The growth of minneapolis has made real
estate speculation possible; and this growth
has continued in spite of fictitious and spec
ulatiYe YalueS''
But rejoined the dealer in dirt, eff you
cut off this speculation you will cut off CAPT
tai and Kill our city,"
capital we viii be saying to it, Come here
and invest where you will not be fined for
Improvement. Buy and improve our land
and your improvements will not be taxed ="
What you really would do would be to
create an economic revolution and CONNER
cial anarchy would ensue. Everything
would be unsettled, and our beautiful city
would go to the boWwows'
YOU'RE foolish. You don't understand
us
''Oh, you re nihilists and want to ruin u.s.
Then the discussion ends, and the dis
putants go their ways to make converts
or pile up distrust, as the case may be.
The real estate men have the greater
influence, and the single taXites are the
better takers. The latest move of the
latter is to distribute circular contain
ing the following:
What kind of investment shall we encour-
age capitalists to make? Shall we encourage
them to build mills and factories and thus
give employment TO thousands; or shall we
encourage them to buy corner lots in the
hope that other mems industry will make
them more valuable:
The Single Tax league has for its object
the release of personal property, buildings
and improvements upon land from taxation,
and would raise all necessary revenues by a
tax upon land values. If this object could
he accomplished Minneapolis would in few
years become the manufacturing center of
the country.
There is no reason for thinking that rea
estate yalues would be. depressed, for while
there would undoubtedly be less demand
from those VINO are simply spectators, there
would be tremendous demand from people
who would build.

A Dozen Persons Injured in a
Collision on the Huntingdon &
Broadtop Railway.


PITTsBURG. Pa, Dee. 10.-A terrible
accident occurred OIL the Dudley branch
of the Huntingdon & Broadtop railroad
this morning, whereby more than
dozen persons were seriously injured.
The passengercar makes the trips down
the mountains by branch, and stops at
numerous stations along the route.
This morning the car was we'll filled,
and started on time from Dudley to the
main line at Huntingdon. Shortly after
it had stopped at Coalmont an engine
and two loaded cars came down the
track, and crashed into the rear end of
the passenger car, throwing the occup-
ants against the windows and to the
floor. Before the collision John Shent-
lOe, passenger, foreseeing the danger,
looSened the brake of the passenger car,
and the little start it obtained, lessened
somewhat the force Of the collision from
the following train. But for the prompt
action on the part of Mr.. Shentloe, all
of the passengers would doubtless have
been killed. The more seriously in
iured are: Mrs. Allen Black, John
Dougherty. John Bollinger, Edward f.
Gould. Misses Lizzie and Mary LaSter,.
of Dudley. all of whom received dan
gerous internal injuries and painful
cuts about their faces from the broken
car windows,

stepped up and turned on the steam,
wien the boiler exploded, killing him
and Albert Kline, customer, who was
standing near by waiting to get some
feed ground, Wallace Stroll and one
boy were badly injured, and another
boy slightly. Everything is a total
wreck except the grinder. The eXplo-
sion set the straw stack and 0utbuIld-
ings on fire, but the prompt assistance
of the people of the town prevented
their destruction.
