cnMRMAx COOLEY on CANADIAN RATES.


Chicago, Aug. 21.-1homas b. Cooley, chairman Of
tho Interstate Commerce Commission, returned to-day
from tour through the Northwest lie has visited
Paul. Portland. San Francisco San jose and various
cities on the Union Pacific. The trip was made in
the interest Of the Commissions work 81 am Of
the opinion" said Judge Cooley last evening at the
Palmer House, that generally at least so far as
rates concerned, the condition Of far Western
and Northwestern roads IS better than that OF the
Eastern roads Canadian competition Is sharp and has
led TO trouble, but 1t is not bad 1t is in the
East"
Speaking Of the work OF Senator Culloms Com
mittee on Railway Relations with Canada Judge
Cooley said The attitude Of the Chicago Board Of
Trade in IT'S defence of the Canadian low rate was a
surprise to me- There is no question in my mind
that q low Canadian rate does not benefit Chicago
IS this facility that the Canadian roads have that
Is building up Northwestern towns like MINNEAPOLIS
St. Paul and Duluth to the detliment of Chicago II
hurts the railways OF this country and anything tend
ing to damage them must also affect this city, which
Is so largely made by them. What Chicago should
do Is to help the roads. build them up and strengthen
them. II the railways of this country do not make
shippers low a rate Canadian roads, I think II
is because they cannot; and it VIII only make mat
ers vOisc 10 encourage Canadian trade that Will
hurt them still more

LITTLE PROGRESS IN THE FLAcK CASE.

There was no practical change in the Flack divorce

as much as possible in secret. The announcement In
The Tribune yesterday of Mrs Flacks preparations for
bringing a suit for limited divorce had the effect OF
melting the Sheriff and his adherents TO renewed
cxertions for a compromise. Mr. Flack at the
sheris Office carly, and in the intcry ais of directing

with HIS son william, and his counsel Justice Mcneil
and listened TO messages which they brought him from

had received good news. There was marked i'm
provement in his appearance as compared with the
DAYS when no was bearing up under the first strain Of
the scandal. Perhaps the fact thai Mrs. Flscks

BACK AGAIN AT INDIANAPOLIS.
MANIFESTATIONS OF POPULAR ESTEEM SHOW


THE PRESIDENT ON HIS JOURNEY.
Indianapolis, Aug. 2l.-The Presidents train
reached here at o'clock. All along the rOnte
he received enthusiastic popular demonstrations,
10 which he responded briefly, but with feeling.
He spoke at Oxford his old college, and at College
Corner, where the people had an old carry-all
in which his grandfather rode in $40 and which
they wanted the President To ride in, but his
time was too limited.
At Liberty the President stepped out in view,
and G. w. Stivers, editor of local paper, made an
eloquent address of welcome, which was answered
by President Harrison, who seemed highly wrought
up and SPOKE most warmly. He said:
Mr.. savers and Fellow Citizens: have in the main
successfully resisted only upon this trip but during
recent trip to the New England States the suggestion
which has often been made 70 that should make
public address beg you viii this evening
from saying than that do very deeply feel this
and hearty welcome which you extend to me on
my return the State OF Indiana left to assume
the duties OF the Presidency with very deep OF It's
responsibility, which has been esseDed by these
months OF experience. I 1 have not avoided
dsappoinments, and vet hope come TO you with
the consciousness that whatever has been slack you VIII
forgive and that nothing happened to create In your
minds doubt Of sincere purpose TO serve the gen.
erai good OF the American people and uphold as may
the honor and dignity Of the United States.
The Presidents welcome here was not les
hearty. He briefly thanked the reception com
mittee and was driven directly TO the Denson
House At IL o'clock the President retired. To-
morrow forenoon he will be given a public recep-
ton at the hotel The cornerstone of the Indiana
Soldiers and Sailors Monument will be laid to-
morrow, and the day bids fair to be the biggest
the city has ever known.

him that it was useless, but the trav-

do" said be, ''I'll just bet you 50 my
snoring drives him out of the room. "
The clerk was looking for cinches,
and snapped the bet up quick. Time
wore on until the hour for retiring.
Singularly both men wended their way
upstairs together. The clerk awaited
further Developments. About an hour
