FLOUR IS REFUSED

Company.
The Wheat Rate Makes 1t
More Profitable Than

fhe Northern Pacific Said to

n Spite of Chairman w alker,

duee Rates.

The Lake Superior Transit company
has notified its western railroad con-
nections that it will receive 10 more
flour for export via Erie, Pa. and the
Pennsylvania or Baltimore IL Ohio
roads. 1t will stop wesJ-bound ship
ments on Nov.2. The cause for this action
OH the part of the Lake Superior Tran
sit company is doubtless the high rate
on wheat. making it more profitable to
handle than -four. Some shippers are
a little anxious about goods now being
loaded in Europe. These will be all right
If shipped on steamers, as navigation IS
unlikely to close for at least thirty days.
Flour will have TO be shipped by other
lines, but is unlikely that it will last
long, as a representative of one of the
other lines was heard yesterday to say
that in all probability ali the lines
would refuse to receive flour, owing TO
the high figure now being received for
CARRYING wheat. The shipments of
grain are enormous at present, and will
give the boats all they can do to carry
the amount remaining before the close
of navigation. The all-rail lines are
eagerly looking forward to the close of
navigation, expecting to be able to raise
rates and makea little profit.

AN EXTRAVAGANT QUEEN.
The Pleasant Surprise Prepared

Scranton Republican.
The only queen of to-day who can
match the Empress Eugenie's eXtrava-
gance OF former days is the queen of
Portugal, whe spends money in the
same reckless manner and buys by the
wholesale. She does not wait to exam
inc and make her selection before pur-
chasing. She buys all the styles of the
day direct from Paris, giving orders for
the leading houses to send anything
that is new and beautiful, wears what
pleaseS her and casts aside the rest
She has good taste, and when one of
these collections of dresses, nantes,
hats, gloves. boots, laceS, etc., arrives
from Paris. she makes long study of
each article, trying OH many times.
studying the combination with the lines
of her figure, the color of her hair,
until she gets harmony perfect in all
its details. -..-.-,
She is generous and loves to make
costly and eccentric gifts, but in that
way no one has surpassed the charming
idea Of the queen of Holland. On her
husbands recent birthday she presented
him with an enormous bouquet of flow
ers, of the kind used on benefit nights
at opera in Italy, so heavy that it re
quired several serving men to carry it.
AS it was baought close to the throne,
the old king stopped forward to ex-
anime it, when amidst the flowers the
head of his little infant Calghter popped
ont, to the surprise of the monarch and
the amufement of the whole court.

AN INNOCENT MISTAKE.
But Its Results We're Tragic and
Wrecked a Happy Family.

Louisville Commercial.
That's a pretty, home-like little
place, isn't it?" asked a fellow passen-
ger of the writer on an incoming Lex
ingtOn train few evenings ago. The
little place" referred to was a cottage
home not many miles this side of Lex
ington, half-mile back from the railroad,
and, seen from the train window with
all its pretty environments, did look
like refuge for happiness in a refined
state of purity, where some loving cOu-
pie, free from the perpleXitieS and sins
OF the world, might find pure taste of
heaven.
'.Well," continued the speaker, as the
train flew by other scenes just as pretty,
"there is
TRAGICALLY SAD STORY
connected with that place, about which
but little has ever been published. and
the true inwardness of which but few
knew. Five years ago it was the home
of as happy pair of moderately wealthy
young people as could be found in the
state. They had youth, wealth, name
as well known and untarniShed as that
of any of the old families in this sec
ton, and little daughter. in whom
was centered their combined love. They
as happy as any couple in the state.
One afternoon the wife received let
ter postmarked at little town in Indi-
ana, near where she had lived when
she came to Kentucky on a visit, and
met the man she afterward loved and
wed. She laughingly told her husband,
but with evident embarrassment, that
she
HAD A SECRET
and would have to go to Louisville. He
at that time knew but little about his
wife'S Indiana kinspeople, whom he had
only seen at the time of their wedding.
and on two or three visits he had made
at her home during the brief engage
ment which followed their meeting in
Kentucky, he never wondered at
his wife's conduct that day at
the start. and assisted her oil to
the train next morning, half
jestingly demanding the author of
the letter which called her away. She
never told him, however, and his part
ing words were caution not to miss
the evening train, as he and baby
would be uneasy and lonely.

IN HARRIsON'S HANDS.
He May Settle other Indians IL
the Cherokee Nation.

SAC AND Fox AGENCY, l. T., Oct. %
"A discovery has been made respecting
the Cherokee lands which will prove a
sensation. Judge Wilson has known
for some time, but only lately made
known to his colleagues, that under
article Is of the Cherokee treaty of
1866, Indians friendly to the CherokeeS
may be settled upon the Cherokee ma
ton itself. This should not be con-
fused with article 16, which relates
only to the Cherokee outlet Article
Is provides that Indians friendly
to the CherOkees, who have
abandoned their tribal relations. may
be settled in the Cherokee nation by
first obtaining the consent of the Cher
Okee council. They may thus become
Incorporated into the nation as citizens,
OH an equal footing with CherokeeS
themselves. 1t further provides that
friendly Indians maintaining their tribal
organizations, and which are not inc0n-
Sistent with Cherokee laws, may be
allotted 100 acres for each man, woman
and child. The Cherokee council shall
ratify such agreement. In case of nom
ratification. the president of the United
States may settle the friendly Indians
if he deems the Cherokee councils rea-
SONS for nOn-ratiiication to be not good
and sufficient. Thus it may be seen
that the government has power to settle
not only the strip question, but the
home proper, itself. Judge Wilson pro-
feSSeS not to know the governments
policy as to this, but. for himself, is in
favor of settling Indians knee-deep on
the Cherokee lands should they decline
to part with their claim to the strip.
Judge Wilson's views are also enter
tanned by the other commissioners. The
Cherokee commissioners Recommended
tons will undoubtedly be acted upon by
the government. so it is safe TO say that
the Cherokee lands will either be opened
to white settlement or completely COW
cred with wild tribes.

The Pan-American Delegates See

CHICAGO. Oct 22.-Promptly at 10 a.
Ill. the Pan American delegates assem-
bled in the parlOrS of the Grand Pacific
to begin the last and third days tour OF
Chicago, which included The down
town business district. Delegate Don
Romero. of Mexico, led the way from
the hotel. with Chairman Clark. on
foot. Marshall Fields wholesale store
was first examined. The interior OF the
store was bright with flags. The party
was taken through the store from the
top story TO the ground floor. Samples
of the best American goods Oolens,
cotton and Silk-Were shown. The
visitors were particularly pleased with
American silks. which were shown
in all varieties. About noon. and
when trading was at its llvelleSt
point, the party was conducted, still
on foot, 10 the board of trade. Presi-
dent SeavernS met the delegates and
conducted them at once 10 the trading
floor. At the sight of the visitors all
trading was suspended and hoard of
trade yell greeted the party. that was
a revelation to some of tile easier. going
representatives. From the floor all
went into the gallery and trading was
resumed. After a few minutes OF this
the directors room was visited, where
Secretary Stone presented each visitor
with souvenir volume in Spanish Of
the past years business of Chicago.
From the board Of trade carriages took
the party to the auditorium, where
Mayor Cregier and Chief Sweenie, of
the fire department, were ready with a
surprise. Delegate Romero was con-
Quoted TO fire alarm box and asked to
turn in an alarm. Before the visitors
realized what was about 10 result a
large portion of the downtown force
was daShing up. Hose carts, hook and
ladder companies, chemicals and fire
engines were all at work with ladders
erected and throwing water within five
minutes after the call was turned
in. After examining the Auditorium
thoroughly the delegates were driven
to the Northwestern depot. where a
special train was taken to Mr.. Dun
ham'S stock farm near Elgin, where
dinner was served. The train left at 1
O'Clock. and returning left the farm at
4:30. The delegates closed their Chi
cagO visit with banquet at the Grand
Pacific tonight, and will leave early to-
morrow for Milwaukee. Early this
evening Minister Romero, of Mexico.
received a telegram from Secretary of
State Blaine, stating that rumOrs had
reached him that the visitors were SO
weary they would prefer TO abandon
the trip, and asking if this were so. A
meeting of the visitors was held this
evening, and a telegram was sent to
Mr.. Blaine, stating that the rumOrs re-
ferred to in his message were without
foundation; that the enthusiasm of the
receptions was increasing, and was
eQualed only by the appreciation of the
guests.

WILL REDUCE RATES,
In Spite of a Contrary Decision by
Walker.

CHICAGO. Oct. 22-Chairman Walker,
of the Interstate Commerce Railway
association, gave a decision to-day on
the application of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul road for authority to
make as low a rate on coal from Chi
cago and Milwaukee to points in the
interior of Iowa, Minnesota, Dakota
and WiicOnsin as prevails from Lake
Superior points. The chairman re-
fused to authorize the applicant to meet
the rates in force from Lake Superior
points by lines that are not members of
the association. He said the proper
wav to treat the matter would be for
the lines directly interested to confer
with the Lake Superior lines and en-
deaYor to obtain reasonable adjust
ment. In spite of this adverse decision.
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul has
given notice of its intention in ten days
TO adopt the reducad rates.

WANTS A SHORTER ROUTE.
The Northern Pacific Looking
Over the Ground in Quebec.

QUEBEC. Oct. %. President 7. F.
Cakes, of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, and the gentlemen accom-
panying him decline to talk about their
mission to Quebec, but allege that the
party is here Oh private business. A
prominent railway man, who was with
them all yesterday, declares that their
mission is likely to be fraught with
great Importance to the province of
Quebec. Premier MERCER, whose guests
they were yesterday. publicly declared
a few days since that most important
railway legislation would be submitted
to the legislature at the forthcoming
session. and a leading politician
declares that its basis was agreed
upon. 1t is known that the
Northern Pacific desires a shorter
route to Europe. The st. Lawrence is
the shortest water route. but the Grand
Trunk and its connections east of Chi
cagO do not furnish short enough land
line. Charters for links of railways in
Ontario and Quebec, to shorten the pres
ent route which the Grand Trunk rail-
way had neglected to make, have been
obtained by the Northern Pacific in the
names of other parties, and GaSpe, in
the Gulf of st. Lawrence, may soon be
made winter port. At all events. the
Northern P cite is determined to have
shorter Eastern connections than the
Canadian Pacific, and is said to be about
purchasing the Temiscouata railway
from the Riviere du LOup to Edmunds-
ton. y. B.
The nature of the alleged agreement
between Premier MERCER and the North
ern Pacific people is not vet made pub
lie, but will doubtless involve a very
large land grant for short line through
the interior of the province of Quebec,
thence crossing on the proposed St.
Lawrence bridge. Color IS lent to this
report by the fact that Mayor LANCE
1ier, who advocated their cause in par
lament against the Canadian Pacific
railroad in the Manitoba crossing case.
was present with the cOmpany's senior
counsel at the interview with the pre-
mier Of Quebec. I. Avery, lawyer of
St. Paul, has been here for several
weeks past in the interests of the North
ern Pacific.
