A Chicago Paper GrOans Again
Over the Discrimination 4 gaiHst
Chicago.
The Eastern association roads have
decided to accept regular proportions Of
through rates, says the Chicago Tribune,
on st. Paul and Minneapolis, as well as
Missouri river business. The rates both
east and west bound on st. Paul and
Minneapolis traffic will be based On
33512 per cent of the Chicago rates, with
the exception of wheat and its products.
The rates from st. Paul and MinneapO-
lis to New York via Chicago and the
Niagara frontier, based upon the 30 per
cent late first class st. Paul and Mime
apolis to Chicago will be: FIRST class,
81; second, 81 cents: third, 67; fourth,
81; fifth, A: sixth, 81; on wheat and its
products the through rate. MINNEAPOLIS
to New York, will be 3215 cents. the
division of which will be: Roads west
OF Chicago, ~ cents: east of Chicago,
25 cents. Other rates will be divided:
East bound. west of Chicago, 1874 per
cent; east Of Chicago, balance West
bound-West of Chicago, 81 per cent;
east of Chicago, balance. The differen-
tlalS awarded to various Eastern lines,
1t is understood, will not be applied eX-
cept so far as the National Dispatch
Line via Montreal and Vermont Central
is concerned, which will make the fol-
lowing through rates, New York to st.
Paul and Minneapolis: First-class, 90
cents: second, 10; third, 81; fourth, ~;
fifth, 40; sixth, 81 cents. This action
OH the part of the trunk lines discrimi-
mates seriously against Chicago, as they
accept materially lower rates Chicago
to New York than they make from Chi
cagO proper.
While the inland and seabOard points
from Chicago are held up to tariff, the
same discrimination is made OIL export
rates that is made on Western through
rates. The export rates through to
Liverpool were yesterday from
cents to 10 cents lower than the local
rates to New York and Boston. At
meeting of the Export Rate committee,
held yesterday, the Baltimore & Ohio,
Michigan Central, Chicago d Atlantic,
Nickel-Plate, and Big -Four admitted
that export rates over their lines were

SPECIAL TARIFF.
The Milwaukee Issues a Special
Tariff From Interior Points.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. THE
Chicago, Milwaukee IL st. Paul's special
tariff on grain, -four or mill stuffs in car
loads from interior points to Eastern or
seaboard towns, is published to-day.
Following are the proportions allowed
east of Chicago: Buffalo and common
points, Is cents per 100 pounds: ROch-
ester and common points, 49, cents;
Albany, "a cents; New York, rs cents;
Boston, 20 cents; Philadelphia, % cents;
Baltimore, % cents; Montreal, 25 cents.
If forwarded by lake and rail from Mil
waukee, the usual differential of 2
cents per 100 pounds less than the
rates mentioned will apply. This
tariff does not apply on export ship
mentS. 1t is denied by the shippers
that the tariff is an evasion of the inter-
state commerce law, as through it the
railroad discriminates against Milwau-
kee 211a cents per 100 pounds, or 5 cents
a barrel of -four. Millers claim that it
will cut Off their domestic trade en-
tirely unless the discrimination is
stopped by the commission. A number
of the shippers of this city have sent
copy of the special tariff to that body,
and when the answer is received, it is
probable that the chamber of commerce
will vote on resolutions for or against it.
The following rates from Mississippi
river points to Missouri points have
been announced: First class, 14h
cents; second, third and fourth, 10

The changes in rates that were made
in this section yesterday, with one ex-
ception, were not large or numerous.
There was trifiing furry, caused by
the report that the Burlington Il North

st. Paul & Chicago. This, however,

savage cut. This is the most widespread
railroad fight ever known here, and ex-
tends over large number of
states. That it will be of long
duration is indicated by the
fact that some of the roads are
reported to be making contracts for
thirty days at the prevailing rates. The
roads east from Chicago and st. Louis
are making strenuous efforts to keep
out of the fight, but the general opinion
is that they can not avoid becoming in
volved. The situation is so different
from anything of the kind ever seen
before that the most experienced rail-
road men are unable to form a very
satisfactory opinion as to the outcome.
1t is not regarded as at all likely that
rates will be restored to anything what
they were when the cut commenced. A
railroad officer of large experience gave

total appropriation of S1,4O3, 1866, as
against an appropriation of 81, ,419, ,942

accounted for by the commission of ap-

pared so as TO conform to the rules pro-

priatiOn bills. A number of proposed
changes in the servive have been rec
commended by the department of state,

adopted with great advantage to the

changes in the existing law, they have
not been embodied in the bill. They

for the murder of County Attorney

jury is composed of three farmers and
hotel keeper. After searching exam
County Attorney Dawson and by w. Il.
Eaton, of Usage. in behalf of the de-
fendant, two of the jury were challenged
by the defense in the case. 1t was over
ruled by the court, and the other
having stated to the court that
he was prejudiced against Bill
ings, and that he could not act, the
Judge retained him on the jury after
notifying him to take no part in the
consideration of the Billings case. The
defense challenged the whole panel ON
the ground that they had seen no record
of the drawing thereof and did not
know whether the law had been COM
piled with. Also that the manner in
which the jury was drawn was not con-
stitutional. The court failed to sustain
the defense. and the grand jury retired
and began the investigation of this i'm
pOrtant case at 2:30 this afternoon. The
prisoners appearance was noted by the
many spectators present that his once
pOrtly form had lost it's rOtundity, and
his features presented the color usually
found on the face of confirmed GRIM
inal. There is intense interest taken
on the part of the public as to the re-
suit of the grand jury's investigation.
The fact that one of the jury was re-
tained and not allowed to act in this
case makes il necessary that the other
! four must be unanimous in their action,
according to the instructions of the
Judge, if they indict.
