A CHAOTIC MESS.
The Gut In Freights Becoming
More MuddIed Every Day.

The chaos that has prevailed for so
long in freight rates shows no sign of
abatement. The rates eff the Ohio &
Mississippi from Kentucky over the
Wisconsin Central went into effect yes
terday. These are on the basis of a 20
cent proportional rate from Chicago.
The cut by the Burlington on east
bound rates on D )tatoeS has been met
by the Kansas City, Omaha and Mil
Waukee roads. This is the Accent rate to
New York and 45 cents to Boston. Up
to o'clock yesterday evening, the Wis
consin Central had taken 10 action. w.
z. Barry telegraphed to headquarters to
know if the Wisconsin Central would
meet the rate, but received no reply.
The probability is that this road will
not meet the cut. If 1t does it cannot
hope to get more than very small part
of the business, while the reduction in
the through rate would necessitate a
propOrtiOnate reduction in local rates.
The question is whether the amount of
through trade would be large enough
to counterbalance the loss OH local. 1t
would seem not, for the other roads
have already published the rate, and it
is to be presumed have got the best part
of the through business.
The Burlington all along has figured
as deInoraliZer, and this is no eXcep-
ton to the rule, 1t has little or no local
business, and had nothing to lose by
making the cut on through business.
The other roads were then almost forced
to meet the rate or allow the Burlington
d Northern to have the einch OH the
business. So long as the latter road is
allowed to run independently of its
parent. the 90" the decentralization
viii be chronic. The only chance for
a solution of the difficulties lies in the
ignoring of the long and short haul
clause on the ground that the condi-
tons are sufficiently different to place
the other roads outside of its pale.
A few minor changes took place in
tariff sheets of the Big Four, the most
important of these being revised rate
from Springfield, o., las follows: So. 49. 80
%. "a and 81; the old rate was5 81, 48, 38115,
2516, 231S and 2019.
The Lake Superior Transit cOmpany's
new rate from Pittsburg via the 800"
went into effect yesterday, as follows:
721a cents first-cIass. 62 second. 3919
third, SO fourth, % fifth, 2214 sixth;
26 on iron in less than carloads, % in
carloads; 341l on glassware in carloads.
The old rates were rs cents first-elass,
81 second, 50 third, So fourth, 80 fifth, rs
sixth and 421a on glassware in carloads.
The most noticeable feature in this new
rate is the enormous difference between
second and third-class rates, the differ
ence being 222115 cents.
The lake and rail lines have deter
mined to ignore the cutting by the Chi
cago lines, realizing that any action of
theirs would come at too late time to
do them any good.

STRIKERS IN THE SOUP.

LONDON, Sept. 3o.-Fhe attempt of
the socialists to run the strike of the
Rotterdam dock laborers has failed ut

The Charm an OF the Gentlemen'S
Association Defends 1t From

CHICAGO. Sept. 30.-The interstate
commission met at the Palmer house
this morning with Chairman Cooley pre-
siding, and Commissioners Bragg, of
Alabama; Morrison, of Illinois; Schoon-
maker, of New York, and Veazey, of
Vermont, present. The room in which
the hearings are being held was we'll
filed with railway officers and lawyers,
more than half OF these present being
attaches of the Chicago & Alton rail
road, the consideration of complainst
which by the interstate railway asso-
citation is the most important work to
come before the commission. Pre-
vious to the hearing of the Alton
case. the case of John P. Squire, of Bos-
ton. against nearly all the trunk lines,
was brought up and passed. The hear
ing OF the Toledo exchange against the
Lake Shore and other roads was passed
to the foot of the calendar. An attempt
was then made to get before the conn
mission the question of grain reduc-
tions, or the practice of railways in de-
Quoting five pounds or more from each
load of wheat delivered to them. The
case was that of Fred White, of Miehi-
gan. against the Lake Shore and the
Michigan Central. The specific charges
was that wheat delivered by the COM
pIainant at Dayton. Mich, to these
roads had been
CHARGED WITH DEDUCTIONS
for which he asked $500 compensation.
1t was affirmed that five pounds were
deducted from each load, sometimes as
mnch as nine pounds. The defense set
up by the roads was that no complaint
was made for violation of the interstate
law; that the charge was not of irregu-
Iarity in carrying. The roads claimed
the amount deducted was barely suf1i-
cient to indemnify the company for
shrinkage; they said wheat was stored
and receipts gwen forit without charge
to farmers, and that it was always the
custom to deduct fractional parts of
five pounds. They asked for a dis
missaI of the case on the ground that
the charges did not claim wheat was de-
Iivered under the operation OF the in
terstate law; that. as matter of
fact, the particular case occurred in
1884, before the law went into effect.
Mr.. Whites attorney said that the only
other remedy was suit at law, which
would cost more than it would return.
The case was taken under advisemeEt.

MILLS UNDER OPTION.
Levi Mayer Says the Washburn-
Pillsbury-SYndicat Deal Is a Go.


CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Levi Mayer, of
this city, OH whose authority the state
ment was made public Sunday that an
English syndicate had purchased large
milling and elevator properties in the
Northwest, was this morning shown
the dispatch from Minneapolis in which
c. A.. Pillsbury is quoted as making
certain statements regarding the sale of
his mills. Mr.. Mayer was asked for a
statement of the exact facts, and an
swered as follows:
My Information is that the original con-
tracts for the sale of the Pillsbury and the
Washburn mills expired on August L last
and were renewed for period of sixty to
ninety days. Gov. Pillsbury was in London
during August while l was there. for the
purpose, it is said, of aiding in the consum-
nation of the sale. 1 believe that Senator
Washburn was also there. The contracts for
the sale Of these mills will expire in few
DAYS The indications, am led to believe,
point to the sale going through, but, of
course, until sales of that magnitude are ac-
complished no positive statement can be
made.
Mr.. Mayer was then further asked re-
! garding that part of the dispatch re-
| ferring to the Van DuZen and Star ele-
vatOr systems. Picking up the dispatch
Mr.. Mayer read as follows:
Charles NJ Harrington, local manager Of
the Van Duzen and Star elevator systems,
denied that there was any truth in the re-
port of the sale of those systems.
Commenting on this statement Mr..
Mayer said:
Mr.. Harrington is very nice gentleman.
strongly suspect that the Minneapolis re-
porter did not interview the genuine Har.
rington. If he had, and Mr.. Harrington mad
spoken at all, he would have said that a con-
tract for the sale of the Van Duzen and Star
systems had been made; that in fact Mr..
Harrington was secretary of one of the COM
panies, had attached his signature to that
contract; that the contract mad been deliv-
cred to me and that a portion of the pur-
chase price had already been paid into one OF
the Chicago banks.
