RAILROAD RACkETs.
Talk on Tarin by the Northwestern
Roads.

CHICAGO, Aug. 90. The warning
Northwestern railroads to-day ran
against an unexpected snug In the shape
OF little communication from Chair
man Cooley of the Interstate commerce
commission, who informed them that
when circumstances justify the masking
of rates which ignore the long and short
haul clauses, the rdtcs actually made
must be reasonable when compared one
with another. The great disparity now
made since the recent vigorous cut be-
tween the long and short haul rates
on the lines between Chicago and
st. Paul would. of itself, make
the latter illegal and indeiensible and if
maintained ii will compel the committee
TO make an order reducing the short
hand To is proper position. Judge
Cooley called tho attention of the man
ayers to the fact that when they exuctod
excessive short hand rates they rendered
themselves liable in every Instance to
action In behalf of Amy person
who had been compelled to
pay the same. This notification"
said be, "must be recognized, and the
managers must act aCCordingly.as IL Is q
decision reached after examination OF
the facts in the case.
This notice was brought about by the
recent cut made by the Burlington a
Northern of about 20 per cent In its
rates from Chicago to st. Paul ON
through business from the East, and,
consequently, threatened n domoraliza-
ton OF all the Northwestern local aud

At the afternoon session the Western

thornc, communicated Judge Cooley's
notification to tho managers. I'm

to the other roads, as none of them of
course can do business at such

WnnderfuI Grapes.

The fines specimen Of grapes that ever
came to Spokane Falls, and as fine as
ever seen in any country, were presented
TO the REVIEW Thursday by Mr.. j. w.
Prisby of Columbus, Washington. An
average sized bunch, taken at random
from the collection, weighed twenty
three ounces, and they We're luscious,
Juicy and finely favored. Mr.. Prisby
has 5000 vines, 1000 OF which are bear
ing. He also has 1000 peach trees and
a variety of other fruit. He raises all
sorts of fruits and vegetables, entirely
by irrigation, which he considers the
only method that is absolutely safe, in
all seasons. lie ships extensively to the
Pacific coast cities and the Eastern mar
kets, and undoubtedly has an Immense
fortune within his grasp from the pro-
duct of his .beautifhl farm, which is
located IN Klickitat county, south of
Yakima. His success in this line de-
monstrates that Central Washington is
almost if not quite equal TO California
as fruit growing region.

Miss Katie JohnsOn's Runaway Trip to

Correspondence'of The EVENING STAR.
FREDERICK, Nd, November II.
A novel case of runaway girl furnished food
for gossip here the past week. On Thursday
afternoon young lady with valise inquired
at the ticket window of the depot at Gathers
burg for ticket to Gettysburg. When in
formed that there were no trains for that point
that day she decided to buy ticket to Fred
eric and reached here that evening on Captain
John Virtues train. Policeman Augustus Oben-
derfer noticed her fOrlorn and desolate cond-
ton as she fingered about the station. He
finally inquired where she was going and
offered to assist her. She said she didn't know
where she was or where to go, that her name
was Minnie Jackson and her age
fourteen, that her father lived at hotel in
Washington, her mother was dead and she
wanted to go to an aunt in Philadelphia. In
her valise were two handsome party dresses
The girl was finally taken to the house of Cap
tain Virtue, where she was kindly cared for

BASE BALL FORECASTS.
Washington Likely to Have a League
Club Next Year-Other Matters.

The local base bali enthusiasts are generally
conSratulating themselves upon the turn of
the tide which has made the prediction made
by The STAR a couple of months ago that
Washington will have league club next year
extremely probable. In fact, after the en-
largement of the league and the stand taken by
Mr.. Hcwett there can be no doubt that our city
will be represented. On the other hand there
are folks who discredit the wisdom of the new
move and predict such powerful combina-
ton between the dismembered association and
the Brotherhood league as will undermine the
patronage of the National league.
THE CHANCES
are against such an event. As soon as the as
ISOLATION fills all three of the vacant places
Brooklyn, Cincinnati and Kansas City-it will
be found that each city represented will be ex-
tremely anxious to preserve its individuality
intact and will fight any attempt to coalesce
One Of the vacancies has been already filed
by the admission of Syracuse from the Inter-
national league, and Rochester and Toronto
are knocking at the doors of the association
for admission.
ARTHUR IRWIN HAS BEEN RELEASED
by the Washington club a punishment for
his treason. This move will be followed by
similar ones in other league cities, affecting
the ringleaders of the brotherhood. This will
not make very much difference with these men
now, of course, but the real effect will come in
the spring, when the players thoughts turn to
salaries. 1t will then be a case of calamity such
as Is touchingly described in the old nursery
couPiet, which, amendedto the occasion, reads:
.Oh, the north wind will blow,
And We shall have snow,
And what will poor Arthur do then. poor thing?
He'll go to the barn
To keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his wing poor thing"
1t will be fortunate thing, indeed, if there
ia any barn.
