DIES MONIES, To-, Aug. THE state
of Iowa, through its executive officers,
to-day instituted a number of suits
against the Chicago & Northwestern,
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and Chi
cago, Rock Island e. Pacific railways,
the commissioners tariff and the law
providing for it's enforcement. The
Northwestern and 30" roads, not being
incorporated in Iowa, will, no doubt, re-
move the cases against them to the fed
eral court, while the Rock Island cases
will be tried in the state courts and can
reach the federal supreme court
only through appeal. These cases
ought to test the new law
pretty thoroughly, although the suits
now pending would have done that just
as well. The roads will probably con-
tend that the rates proposed in the COM
missionerS' tariff are not reasonable.
The point as to what constitutes rea-
sonable rate is an interesting one, and
stands in need of more definite consider
alton than it has yet received. The
supreme court of the United States has
already announced the doctrine that the
powers of a railroad commissioner to
regulate charges is not without limit.
In the railroad commission cases decid-
ed in 1886, Chief Justice Waite said:
"This power to regulate is not a power
to DESTROY and limitation is not the
equivalent of confiscation under pre-
tense of regulating fares and freight.
The state cannot require railroad COM
pany to carry persons and property

RATES FROM THE sEABoARD
A Meeting of Freight Agents That
Means Something to the Twin
Cities,

A Meeting Of Freight Agents That
Means Something to the Twin
Cities.
Yesterday afternoon meeting of rail-
road freight agents was held in city that
may be of a great deal of Importance to
st. Paul and Minneapolis. The meet
ing was continuation of the general
managers meeting recently held at
Chicago. About two weeks ago the
general managers considered the mat
ter, and adjourned after directing the
general agents to meet i'll st, Paul to
consider the same subject, and re-
port. The proposition before the
general managers was the lake and
rail rates from the Seaboard, and to get
the st. Paul d Duluth road to stop max
ing through rate from New York and
other Eastern points to st. Paul, which
would prevent Chicago from controlling
the trade of the Northwest. Those
present at the meeting yesterday were:
A. c. Bird. of the Milwaukee & st. Paul;
j. Il. Clarke and F. B. Clarke. of the
Omaha; j. A. Hembey, of the st. Paul
q Kansas City; ii. c. Barlow, of the
Wisconsin Central; w. II. Truesdale
and L. F. Kimball, of the Minneapolis

Dodge, of the st. Paul & Duluth; G. B.
Harris and w. B. Hamblin, of the Bur-
lington q Northern; T. Underwood
and IL. l.. Sturte, of the 500. The pro-
ceedings of the meeting were kept
as secret as possible, and it has been
very difficult to reach the facts. A reso-
luton was adopted, the object of which
was to carry out the plan in regard to
the st. Paul and Duluth road. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that the latter road
did not vote for it.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA special from La
Crosse, Wis, to the Herald says: For
some time the officials of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway COM
pany have been suspicious of number
of their conductors, and, finally be-
coming convinced that a number of
their employees were bound together in
a systematic plan to defraud the COM
pany, detectives were placed on the
various divisions. The result showed
such condition of affairs that seven or
eight of the oldest conductors in the en-
plOy of the company were discharged
or suspended. On Saturday and Sun
day evenings a delegation of some
twenty or more of the conductors from
the various divisions of the road were
called to Milwaukee. 1t is stated upon
good authority that the officials have
positive and conclusive evidence against
every one suspected, and that the in
vestigation will result in the discharge
of quite number of employees.
