CHICAGO, July 26.-The Executive
socistion continued in session all fore
noon without reaching a settlement of
the dispute between Canada and the
Southern Pacific about differentials.
The PROPOSE ion of the Canadian Pa
ci6c, which involves the surrender OF
some of their differe ntials and the modi-
ficstion OF oilers was discussed almost
'he entire afternoon and great pressure
was brought to bear on the Southern
Pacific to induce it to agree to the
ar angement. The latter was obstinate
today, but the opinion prevails that it
will eventually yield.
GENERAL RATE WAR THREATENED.
NEW YORK, July 26.-Officials OF the
Pac fc Mail Steamship Company have
notified the Transcontinental Association
that, unless the subsidy from the rail.
roads is increased, they will cut rates and
take all the freight they can get. 1t is
thought this is a preliminary step to
war against the Canadian Pacific
road, and the fact that the Southern
Pacific has refused to allow differential
rate to the Can dian Pacific, is consider
ed confirmation of this belief. The
trans-continental roads intimate that
they are willing to divide the through
business, giving the Canadian Pacific
six per cent, and dispatches from
Chicago received today said the Cana
dian Pacific was willing to agree to it.
l. the Canadian Pacific insists upon diff
ferentials, however, war of rates will
certainly follow.

VenItOns FrO&rehSess
HELENA, Mont, July 26.-The Consti-
tutiopal Convention consumed the entire
day for further discussion of the suffrage
bill clause, providing that after five years
only citizens be permitted to vote, a dec
laration of intention not to be held sufti-
cient. The clause was voted down in
Committee of the Whole. The conven-
| ton then adjourned without accomplish
ing anything.
BOISE CRY, Idaho, July 26.-The con
vention today passed an article on elec-
| tion and suffrage which is intended as q
| death-blow to the Mormon political
power in Idaho. The convention hopes
| to complete it's labors within the next

SIOUX FALLS, OAK, July 26.-The con-
vention consumed the day in discussing

OLYMPIA, w. T., July 26. - The
Committee on Corporations reported
today in the convention. The re-

formed under the laws of the common
carriers; are subjected to legislative con-
troll must not discriminate in rates, and
a long and short haul clause, similar to
the Interstate Commerce law is named.
No railroad corporation shall consolidate

a Railroad Commission exercising con-
troll over all common carriers. Monopo-
lies are roundly denounced and strictly
forbidden, and any combination to raise
the price of commodities or transporta-
ton is made punishable by law. Great
opposition to the constitution is already
being manifested throughout the Terri
tory, and an organized effort will be
made to defeat it if several of the present
articles are not greatly amended.

AT STANDING ROCK.
The Sioux commissioners and
Their LabOrs.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, OAK, July
26 The first council was held this after
noon. John Grass, Gaul, Running
Antelope, Mad Bear and other prominent
chiefs, and large number of Indians
we're pres sent. Governor Foster and
Major Warner made the customary ex-
PLANTATION. The Indians listened with
close attention, but gave no evidence OF
interest in the matters discussed. At the
close of the council it was announced that
fifteen beeves would be issued, and during
the conversation which followed with
reference to the details, the Indians
we're thoroughly interested, and finally
all the Indians shook hands with the
Commissioners with evident good hu-
NOR. The next council will be held on
Monday. From conversations with
many persons more or less acquainted
with the Indians, it is believed that for
some weeks they have been talking the
matter over with each other, and it is
said they ha' bound themselves not to
accept the Governments proposition.

" HI BE MET.
Other Lines VIII Follow the Fort
WOrth,s Action.

DENVER, July 26 An evening paper
says the seaboard rate of SO rs per
hundred, first class freight, which went
into effect today on the Fort Worth road
via Galveston and the Gulf of Mexico
will be met tomorrow by a similar
rate upon all the other trunk lines,
centering at Denver. This latter rate
is authorized by the Transcontinental
Association, and will apply to all the
roads affected by the Fort Worthe
action. Shipments may be made by
either the land and canal route by the
Gulf from Savannah, or by the Galveston
and Gulf, as deemed expedient.
Tne reduction, however, does not apply
to the all-railroad routes. So far no
tariff has been issued affecting grain
shipments, which go far as the agricul-
tural States of the West are concerned,
are by far the most important. Whether
grain rates will be cut is yet purely a
matter of conjecture.

MUCH complaint is made about the low
prices prevailing for California wines.
No doubt it is most desirable that our
vignerons should be better rewarded
than they are for their tolls in the fields
and at the wine press, as well as for
their capital invested. But let no vine
growers heart fail him. The time is not
remote when his rewards will be larger.
In the first place we must be more pains
taking in the making of our wines,
Then We must learn that wines two
years old are not mature, but We must
carry our stock until it is four years old.
Then we are, as people, rather novices
in the matter of wines. The people oil
the country will learn after a while to
discriminate more, and then they will
be better content to pay two dollars for
good wine, rather than take poor stuff for
half the money. Meantime all is not
dark in this industry, which is surely
destined to cut SO large a figure in our
future. A wine-msker of this city
recently sent sample of his clarets to q
Chicago hotel, with the price asked. A
telegram came back instantly for the
whole lot, about six puncheons. Yester-
day the Pomona Times had this to say !:
''The Pomona Wine Company has re-
ceived an order from the Eastern agent,
Mr.. ]. J. O'Neill, for $4,000 gallons of
wine (twenty carloads), to be shipped as
soon as convenient. 1t goes to New
York City, and the fret consignment
will 20 East about the first of next week.
Pomona wine seems to be gaining an en-
viable reputation, and sales are increas-
ing steadily" There is a market for
sound wines. 1t will grow.
