INrERsTATE LAW vIoLATEp nY wHoLEsALE

INTERSTATE LAW VIOLATED BY WHOLESALE.
Chicago, Oct. (SpcclaD-The exposure Of the
wholesale manipuatlons of rates by all the roads
between Chicago and the Missouri River shows that
unless heroic measures adopted by the Interstate
Commerce Railway Association none Of the offending
members will suffer in the least for their wrong
doing Even I'm that association the offending roads
represent majority Of the votes. Over 25 900
Of manipulated grain have been located, and the
amount may be doubled before the investigation is
ended II the punshments specified by the Interstate
Commerce act were strictly applied the roads would
have to pay fines amounting to S125,O00,000 and
$4,000 years in the penltentary. The very enormty
Of the offence makes the offenders certain of immunity.
The divisions Of the Western Freight Association met
to-day, did the members OF the Interstate Com
mcrce Railway Association. Not whisper of the
matter breathed, however The managers dis
cussed the growing abuse among Western lines Of al
lowing passengers holding secOnd-cass tickets all the
privileges including first class sleeping cars of those
holding fIsc!ass tickets. 1t shown that abOI 30
por cent of the whole passenger business done
second-class tickets, and IL deemed time 10 call
halt. BY unanimous vote subject to the approval
of the absent lines il decided TO attempt reform
and 10 separate distinctly the privileges Of those riding
on first and second-claSs tickets.

men of al parties, 10 rise above partisan
hate and bitter prejudice and bring 10

as in the northern States"

people Of the South TO secure homes there
as one step toward overcoming the south
ern question.

The Reyenue-Cutter Rush.


CHICAGO. October "a dispatch from
Seattle W. r., says: The United States
reyenue-cutter Rush arrived here yester-
dav from Alaska. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Sheppard was interviewed about the ru-
mors current here Cor the past few weeks
that the British COlumbians were laying in
wait for him to punish him for selling
British schooners. The Commander
smiled, and said that he had not heard Of
any such threats until he had read
them III the papers on his arrival
at Port Townsend. He said that he
did not believe anything of the kind had
been uttered, and the statement must have
come from irresponsible parties. If there
was any truth in it, and he could have been
apprised of it in time, he would have
steamed into Victoria. and would have
shaken the American flag i'll the faces Of
the Victorians. He SAID he was on good
terms personally with the prominent men
of Victoria. and did not believe that any
indignity TO the American Government
ship would be countenanced by the people
of Victoria.
