FIGHTING FOR FREIGHT.
Rates Going Lower and Lower on the
Western Roads,

CHICAGO, Feb. S.--To-day's rate cutting
among the Western roads started off by the
Chicago and Northwestern reducing rates
from Chicago to Duluth, Ashland and Lake
Superior ports TO the same basis as the cut
rates made between Chicago aud st. Paul.
This move was in retaliation against the
Wisconsin Central for reducing rates to
Duluth, as competing lines thought 1t posi-
bic to keen the reductions out of that sec
ton. The action of the Northwestern
road did not please the Milwaukee
and St Paul officials, and they came back
with another reduction between Chicago
and st. Paul of rs per cent. below the recent
cuts, making the following rates, First
class, 25c per hundred; second, 9lc.; third,
l7c.; fourth, l4c. fifth, l0c. sixth, Sc.
BURLINGTON RETALIATION.
The Burlington road, in order to hit the
Milwaukee and st. Paul at Council Bluffs
and Omaha, reduced rates on hive stock
from $40 TO S37 30 a car load to Chicago
The Milwaukee and st. Paul road has a
dressed beef contract at Omaha which
is based on the relative stock rates
and the Burlington roads reduction pulled
down st. Paul's dressed meat revenue st.
Paul retaliated with a similar reduction on
live stock rates from Kansas City and
Southwestern Missouri river points to Chi
cago to $37 80 per carload.
The Chicago aud Ohio river lines met in
the morning and reduced the meat rates
from Chicago to Atlanta, ssia., and other
Southern points, Sc per hundred. This was
done to meet the cut rate competition from
Kansas City via st. Louis Dressed meat
rates from Kansas Oity TO Chicago were
brought down by all the lines
from 80 to 2Oc. per hundred The Burling-
, ton road decided to meet the cut rates to
Des Moines, and the decreased figures to
that point were also extended to Daven-
port, Dubuque, Burlington, Ottumwa, and
other principal Iowa centers. This ended
the cutting for the day. No attempts are
being made to bring about settlement of
the troubles.

The Journal de st. Petersburg on Bis
marck's Speech.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 8.-The Journal
de 81. Petersburg says: "As Prince Bis
marck has emphasized the purely and ex-
clusively defensive character of the Austro-
German alliance, and, in terms which do
honor to him, has expressed absolute conf
dence in the word of the Gar, whose pacific
views have been distinctly declared, we may
conclude that peace is fully assured. We
prefer this peaceful guarantee to that of
armaments, but we will not insist upon this
point, Prince Bismarck having affirmed
the right of each country to assure its own
security with its own forces We also alb
stain from striking a balance between Rus
sias and Germany's mutual services, often
prompted by common interests, which con-
stitue the best basis for good relations be-
tween States. We will congratulate our
selves if this remains the future basis for
the relations between Germany and Russia"

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Commissioner
Colman, of the Agricultural Department,
said today in reply to an inquiry that he
had received the resignation of Statisticiap
Dodge The Commissioner, it is stated, is
placed in an embarrassing position by the
request made Of him i'll formal petition
from members of Congress asking
for Mr.. Dodge's removal. The opposi-
ton to Mr.. Dodge arises from
objections made by persons interested in
fhe tobacco trade to Mr.. Dodges statistics
concerning the tobacco crop. On the other
hand, many persons are appealing to Com
missioner Colman to retain Mr.. Dodge.
Among others, seventy-five members of the
New York Cotton Exchange have sent a
petition to Commissioner Coman asking for
Mr., Dodge's retention. This petition says:
although many of us differ at times with
him in his cotton crop reports, yet we are
fully aware that Mr.. Dodge is the compiler
and author of them, and believe him to be
an honest and careful public servant"

A MODERN CHINESE WALL.
The Treaty Negotiations Almost Sure
to Succeed.

The Treaty Negotiations Almost Sure
to Succeed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8-An Associated
Press reporter obtained to-day from Repre-
sentative Belmont. chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, an import
ant statement with regard to the Chinese
question, and also as to the pending treaty
with Great Britain. Ir reply to questions
Of the reporter, Mr.. Belmont said he felt
that he could properly state that
negotiations had been pending for
some tlnt for an amicable
settlement of the Chinese question. They
had been suspended during the summer in
consequence of the absence of the Chirese
Minister, but had now been resumed, and
we're reaching completion. He understood,
in fact, that draft of the proposed treaty
had been transmitted TO the Chinese Minis
Ter to-day, containing such notifications of
existing treaties as would bring about COM
plete exclusion of that class of immigrants,
10 which the people of the western coast OBJ
ected.
CHINA DON'T OBJECT.
Il was only just to the Chinese govern
ment to say that there was no disposition on
tlelT Ddrb 10 SUtIlu III lilb way OIL SUCH All
agreement, and he believed that there was
a strong prospect that within month we
would have treaty which would effectually
dispose of the question. 1t would. of course,
| be necessary for Congress to enact legisla-
. ton to carry out the purpose of such
treaty. and therefore, it was
desirable that the bills now pending
before the House should not be
hastily acted upon. If there should be a
failure of the negotiations, which did not
seem likely, Congress would be Informed in
ample time to pass independent legislation.
Mr.. Belmont further said that any treaty
arrangement with China to prevent Chinese
immigration would of course have to be
supplemented by some stringent legislation,
and perhaps even by some treaty stipula-
tons with Great Britain to suppress the in
PRODUCTION of Chinese coolie labor by way
Of Hong Kong and Vancouver, by which
our present restrictive laws we're largely
avoided. It. was understood that there
would be no difficulty on this score.
THE TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN
Speaking of the pending treaty with
Great Britain, Mr.. Belmont said that as the
matter had been so widely discussed through
the newspapers he thought it only Just to
the administration that it should be known
that no clause permitting the extraditiOn of
citizen of the United States for any
political offense was included in the treaty
sent to the Senate. If there was any such pro-
VISION now under consideration it must have
been inserted as an amendment in the
eenate. He declared emphaUically that there
was no clause in the treaty as submitted to
me Senate which surrenderS any right
winch this government has always upheld,
nor was there eny provision which could
oe construed as permitting surrender on
account of political offenses.
