ST.. PAUL, Mimi. May 6.-Furious fires
are raging in the northern part OF Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. An immense amount
of damage is done, and for miles on three
sides of Duluth the fire RACES among the
pines, Many country residences have
been destroyed. On the Hartmantown
road. near Duluth, every dwelling for
four miles has been destroyed. 1t is
feared also that some lives are lost, In
coming farmers report vast sea of fire
sweeping everything before it. Several
houses were burned yesterday near
Split Land. South Of Ashland, for fif
teen miles, the forest is ablaze.
rounded by fire, and the people are
alarmed, fearing the destruction of the
city. North OF GrantbuTg, Wis, the fire
has swept the country, destroying every
thing in its Path. This evening houses,
barns, granaries and fences have been
swept out of existence along the North
ern Pacific. In the neighborhood Of
Cromwell, tamaraek forests, and what
ever else came in the fires way, were
turned into ashes.
Near Hinkey, Mimi, Thos. Campbell
and Ernes Lowell were surrounded by
the fire and 30 badly burned that they
vii die.
DULUTH, May Grain has checked
the forest fires to some extent. A heavy,
continuous rainstorm is needed. Every
incoming train reports a fresh list of
damages, and the total loss will prob
ably reach over million. On
both sides of Pike Lake station,
even during the rainstorm, the
flames were famed into fury, and tall
pine trees fell and shriveled up like
matches. For miles this side of Ashland
the forests are one sheet of blazing fire.
West Of the Northern Pacific Junction,
the fire has done great deal of damage,
completely cleaning out the timber in
some localities and destroying thousands
of ties and poles and hundreds of cords
of wood.

THE TRUNK LINES.
The Problem Presented to the Inter-
NtaIe Commission.

State COMMISSION.
New York, May 6.-The Senate Com
mittee to investigate the alleged owner
ship by a Canadian corporation and
capital of American roads reassembled
this morning. The first witness was
Commissioner Albert Fink, Chairman
of the Trunk Line Association, which,
he explained, was an association to ar
range joint competitive tariffs, to secure
uniformity in charges and class, and
maintain established tariffs. Fink gives
credit to the Grand Trunk Railroad and
its branches, as far as he knows. as a
trunk line. 1t ran from Chicago to
Portland, Me. Fink said that the Can
ada Southern was leased by the Mich;-
gan Central, and acknowledged that the
Grand Trunk bad differential rates for
New England business, because its road
was 100 miles longer.
Senator Cullom-Is your organization
to-day practically the same as before
the passage of the Inter. State Commerce
law?
Commissioner Fink-In everything
except that we no longer divide earnings
or direct freights.
Cullom - Have you any Suggestions
az to amendments to the interstate law
Fluk- luc uLuCulIy 10 W SOHOi oiO
matter of management of by laws. The
Interstate Commission should have dis
erection to deal with questions that are
pressing, and make decision in, certain
cases.
The Commissioner then gave short
summary as to the freight taken by the
Grand Trunk Railway, at Buffalo and
Niagara, which he says is 20 per cent OF
the business to those points. Diferen-
tial rates are graded from five cents per
100 downward. To question as to what
would be the effect to the shippers of the
differential Canadian roads also, witness
said it would reduce the number OF lines
AT the shippers command. There sre
many points in the northwest that would
be hurt by the crippling of the Grand
Trunk, but great noumber OF shippers
would not be hurt if half dozen of the
trunk lines were wiped out.

About two weeks ago, the incognito

combat was induced to cross swords with
Fred Engelhardt, who is Jaguarine's
manager. The latter admits that, if he
were held down to strict rules, the un-

he could afford to take few

A Railroad Caught Mapping.

The fact that the Pennsylvania rail-
road directors have declared the usual
semi-annual dividend for the past six
months, Notwithstanding the enormous
losses by the flood, shows that these
gentlemen have recovered their courage
and hveliness, under the rushing con-
dition Of their present trade, that was
90 completely washed out Of them by
the flood disasters. Few persons VIII
believe that the net income OF the rail-
road for the past six months affords
dividend, but few will doubt, on the
other hand, that the company is now
earning a very big dividend. II has never
stated, and never will state truly, its
enormous loss by the flood, which Its
bookkeeping will take care of and
make to finally disappear under its
heavy earnings. 1t s.generally under
stood that railroad business is very
heavy, and the companies have great
embarrassment in conducting 1t for lack
of cars and motive power. During the
slow trade and great disasters of the past
year. there was little encouragement to
renew rolling stock, and the conse-
quence is that the vast fall trade finds the
railroad wholly unable TO take care of 1t.
There never has been time in railroad
history when freight cars were so un-
equal In number to the demand for them.
Business is likely TO be greatly paralyzed
by the lack of cars to assemble the
materials of manufacture and to carry
of its products. The coke yards are
full of coke that cannot find cars foy
transportation and the factories are bare
OF coal that shippers cannot get cars t.
send. For the first time in its history the
transportation department of the Penn
sylvania railroad tells the factories Oh lis
line that IL cannot take care Of them and
that it will be glad If they can get their
fuel from any other quarter and
by any other line of railroad. Ii is no
meeting more than one-fifth of the call
for cars for the btuminous coal trade tba
II receives from its shippers, and this Is
but sample of its general failure to
meet the demands Of its business, though
IL Is believed to be taking better care of
which has always been a chronic com
plant against this railroad company in
busy season, now swells into an un-
bcarable grievance which threatens
great disaster to most important inter
ests. It is a severe reflection upon the
company's management, and proves
great lack of foresight in discerning fu-
ture conditions that were apparent to
very ordinary comprehension, or of cour
age In rising up to meet them. No one
can defend a railroad management that
shows itself incapable of meeting the
demands of its business TO such degree
as that by which the Pennsylvania has
failed to satisfy the requirements Of its
customers. II stands as giant among
railroads and should show better
light to the pigmies. That q
little railroad could not move its
business because of lack of cars and en-
gines, would not be surprising, but II Il
distressing to find such incapacity In /,
railroad that has the resources possessed
by the Pennsylvania.
