Chicago special: Talking about the
losses involved in the present rate war
in the west and its probable effect on
earnings, general manager cited the
prospect in regard to revenue on the
transportation of grain to Chicago, which
up TO yesterday had not been disturbed
by the war in rates. SIT is fair calcu-
lation," he soid, ''that in western Iowa
and portions Of Nebraska there are a.
100000 bushels of corn, which will he
brought 10 Chicago within the next six
months. The prevailing rate from Ona-

As there is every probability that the

per 100 within n week, an impending
shrinkage is imminent Of almost $780,

show the direct and immediate effects of
rnte-cutting. II is possible that before
the corn is hauled TO Chicago rates will
be restored, but the reduction stimulates
the movement and the shippers will
crowd in all they can in order to get the
benefit Of the reduced rates The same

unreasonable expectation that they have
better prospects Of success. They have

one defeat In the house several bills
relating in several ways TO the regula-
ton Of the liquor traffic, which were re-
ferred 70 the committee on the District
Of Columbia, which it was thought
might at least give them serious and not
bitterly hostile consideration, have been
referred back 10y that committee TO the
house for reference and have in turn
been referred 10 the committee on the
alcoholic liquor traffic. The movers OF
these bills particularly wished that they
should not be sent to the committee on
the alcoholic liquor traffic, for that is a
committee which is known to be un.
friendly to prohibition legislation.

Washington dispatch: After daily ses-
sions for the last two weeks, the fisher
les commissioners at Z o'clock tonight
completed their labors and signed a
treaty, which, it is believed, will result
in the satisfactory settlement of the dis
putes that have existed for almost cen
tury between this government and
Great Britain over the north Atlantic
fisheries The treaty is signed by all
six of the commissioners and is said to
have their full concurrence. Before the
treaty can take effect it must have the
ratification of the queen of Great
Britain. the Dominion of Canada and the
province of New Foundland, as well as
the senate of the United States Al
though the treaty will not be made pub
lie, it can be stated that it relates eX-
chsively to disputes concerning the fish
cries of the north Atlantic coast and
does not include any provisions CON
corning the Behring sea trouble or COM
mercial reciprocity. The treaty, il may
also be added, does not contemplate the
admission of fish into the United States
free of duty. Secretary Bayard said to-
night he could not, because of his Off
cial position, make known the contents
of the treaty, but it was his earnest wish
that it should be given to the press 10y
those having the right tomake such dis
position 81 it, and that every line of it
should he published. The dispute, he
said, had been one of long standing and
had come TO him 10y inheritance when

state. He had used his best endeavors
to reach satisfactory agreement with
Great Britain, and believed he had sue
