The Pennsylvania Also Manipulates.

CHICAGO, Oct. H. Special Telegram to
The BEE. Tho western passenger agents
have removed the magnifylng glass from
their competitors and are now turning it on
the Pennsylvania road. They charge that
there has never been more barefaced manip-
ulation of tickets than that which the Penn
sylvana will lnaugurate on the return of the
knights Templar from the Washington con-
clave. The gist of the matter is contained
in notice sent out to-day by the Pennsyl-
vania to its western connections, In brief
it says that it was impossible to stamp the
return portions of the conclavc tickets and re-
quested all western lines to honor the return
portions of such tickets, whether properly
stamped or not Private advices from the
east say that the morning papers have
charged the Pennsylvania with placing large
blocks of return portions OF the conclave
tickets in the hands Of scalpers. 1t can be
imagined. therefore, what effect these ar
ticles produced in Chicago when followed so
soon by the Pennsylvania request. A meet
ing of the Western States Passenger asso-
citation was called to-day to consider the re-
quest. 1t was charged on all hands
that conclave tickets had already been
manipulating on the going portion and they
had been sold until the 9th by the Michigan
Central. Chicago x Atlantic and Baltimore
& Ohio, when the limit of sale had been def
nitely fiXed for the 18th. There was no help
for it, however, and the association passed a
resolution granting the Pennsylvania re-
quest.

A SETTLEMENT PROBABLE.
The Northwestern Break In Rates
Shortly to Be Adjusted.
ASSURANCES FROM THE "soo.'
As Soon as the Lake Lines Stop Bust
ness For the Season 1t VIII 90
Rack to the Old
Basis.
A Prospective Patchup.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1l.-[Special Telegram TO
THE Bee lit now seems practically certain
that the Northwestern break in rates will be
satisfactorily settled at the close OF navga.
tion. Positive assurances have. been received
from the $500" line that as soon as the lake
lines stop business for the season Is will,
with the concurrent action of the Chicago
st. Paul lines, raise rates to the old basis.
The Burlington s. Northern, if agreeable to
the advance, may fairly be taken as mouth
piece of the northwestern lines, us it was
the one to start the break. Traffic
Manager Hamblin, of the Burlington &
Northern, said to-day to your representa-
tive:
think there is no doubt that the "Soo'
will agree to an advance in rates when lake
competition ceases If it does we will gladly
advance the rates with 1t. In that event, of
course, it Will make no difference whether or
not we secure the cooperation of all.rail
lines to the seuboard. The old plan of charg
ing the sum of the local rates Will be re-
adopted. OF course our consent to raise
the rates is contingent on the as
sent of the Chcago-St. Paul lines,
but think they will be as willing as we are
to go back to the old basis"
The threatened spread of the low st. Paul
rates has been stopped by agreement be-
tween the Burlington and Rock Island. The
Rock Island agrees 10 restore rates at Keo-
lSuk on the 3d and the Burlington has prom
lsed to do likewise at Burlington. This will
make Davenport the southernmost point af-
fected by the low St Paul rates. The Hi
nols Central, which threatened to make ex-
actly the same rates to Sioux City as
have been made to st. Paul, has postponed
action until the November meeting of the
Western Freight association. BY that time
II is hoped that navigation will be closed and
the st. Paul rates restored. A glance at the
map will show the disastrous effects of the
low rates at Sioux City, They will inevita-
bly, spread to Omaha and Kansas City and
reduce the gross earnings of all western
roads 40 per cent. The Illinois Central's
notice is regarded in Chicago merely as a
bluff to compel the Burlington to take the
Burlington & Northern under its wing and
make it restore rates.

Stories Of Lecturers.

Long ago Anna Dickinson. while
still in her prime came u Chicago on
q lecturing tour. The announcer me Mt
OF her address crowded the hall W ere
she was billed to speak. An auditor
says she began by asking: why was
I born?" Then after a pause she re.
peated: why was ! born?" where
upon some fellow in the gallery
shouted: well. Anna. IL that's con.
uudrum. / give it up." The embar-
rassment to the late Congressman
Dorshe'mer Of an interruption on a
similar occasion is fresh In the recolec-
ton of many. AT some commemorative
celebration that excellent speaker was
invited to deliver an address at
Faneuii hall. The building was packed
TO hear the orator of the evening. Be-
hind and near him sat Pat . Flaherty,
q noted democratic ward-worker. Like
an anatomical curiosity. he was
soaked in alcohol. Gov. Dorsheimer
started In with: "Faneaii hall Is full
tonight" "And 50 Is Pat O'Flaherty." i"
was echoed from the rear. This
elicted shouts OF laughter. which the
speaker. niistook for approval. as the
interjected remark had escaped him.
Again, In stent6rian aud oracuIar tones,
he began: "Faneuil hall 10 full to-
night" "But divil-a-bit tie advan-
tage Of Pat O'Flaherty has It," was re-
echoed. followed by peais Of outlaws.
which thoroughly disconcertsd the
Titanic orator. Anterica. .

his respects tn the ladies OF the fash

on week days. Sunday being an ex-
tremely pleasant day. his landau was
not brought into use. He walked
from bis residence on M street to
Massachusetts, avenue. in the neighbor-
hood Of Fourteenth street. where the
| object OF his first call resided. Walk
ing up the stone steps in an indolent
fashion. he reached the door and
rather timidly touched the electric
bell. After lingering some moments.
the servant appeared. and before
Ghooly Khan could utter q word she

The Minister waited for no more.
The rebuff he had received at the
hands Of the unruly servant complete

calls that day. and had about conclud-
ed that he bad had q sufficient dose of
American society. The like OF that
greeting he had never experienced be-

cd 1t should never occur again. But
the next morning everything was fixed
up quite satisfactorily and agreesbly
to all concerned when the mistakes
and errors had been cleared away.
The servant Of the house who was de-
tailed to wait on the door happened to
be absent from his post on that Sun
day afternoon. When the Persian
Minister'S ring was heard, one of the
Mattresses down stairs was called into
requisition to perform the functions of
the absent servant. She did so, and
On beholding the Persian Minister, his

case Of mistaken identity. The ladies
OF the house soon learned of the '.hor-

Song OF a Lily.

Her fine array was wrought in looms Of afr,
And woven by the sbuttles Of The sun,
In noiseess warp and wOof Of tissue fair,
And kindly Juices from the warm earth wony
And all Of wandering Odors that were sweet
Were caught within her silken web Of light; |;
And perfumed rains that wept around her
feet
Their fragrance yielded In the summer
night
The lily tofled not, spun not. yet she grew
In ioveliness supreme from day to day;
a hand Divine impaired every hue
And clothed her In her beautiful array.
The boon OF dews, and rain, and as n kiss:
Her white and suppliant petals, clasped In
prayer.
Gave silent thanks amid created bliss.
Oh II such issues, spring from gifts Of thine,
IL such unfOidings on Thy bounty wait
The ambient airs which nurse the life divine
. Ny soul shall steep, my spirit satiate.
1t shall be mIDe with suppiiant hand to claim
The utmost boon thy treasures may hold;
Why should the iily's bloom my spirit shame,
When Earth Is rich and Heaven is raining
