WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The house
devoted almost the entire time of to-

clause and the glass schedule, which had
been passed over informally, were dis

agraph had been reached and discussed
a while, the Republicans fillibustered
and left the house without a quorum
because the Democrats declined to al
low them more time for debate The
house then adjourned without finishing
the tobacco paragraph. The first para

The Agreement Between the
Northern Pacific and the Mani

Preparation.
Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man. July 1s.-The agree
ment between the Northern Pacific and
the local government, by which the
former is to buy and operate the Red
River Valley road and build 800 miles of
branch lines in the province this sea-
son, is being drawn tonight, the best
legal talent in the city being retained to
assist the attorney general in the task.
as there is still question of a guarantee
OF rates between here and Duluth to be
settled. Premier Greenway and Rail-
way Commissioner Martin leave for
President Oakes. From there they will
proceed to New York to meet
the Northern Pacific board and
sign the contract, which they will
take with them. Mr.. Mcknight,
solicitor for the Northern Pacific,
goes with them from here. There is
now no doubt that the arrangement
Will be carried through. The Northern
Pacific is believed to be Influenced in its
action by a desire to secure an effective
leverage against the Canadian Pacific
road in order to force that company to
terms in certain directions and pay it
back for past offenses. The Canadian
Pacific road will fight to the bitter end
fora monopoly of the traffic in the pro-
vince, which is growing to large pro-
portions, but the local government and
people of the province are with the
Northern Pacific to man, and are de-
termined to be revenged upon the Can
adian Pacific road for its inSolent treat
ment of the province in the past. 1t is
recognized that the province has big
score to settle with the Canadian Pa
clfic road before matters are evened up.
For this reason feeling in the province is
strong to complete the arrangement
with the Northern Pacific.
