THE CANADIAN ROADS.

Chairman Walker in Favor of Their Regu-
lation by Cong res~.
CHICAGO, Aug. "a special from Wash
ington says Chairman Walker, of the In
terstate Railway association, in reply TO 3
letter from Senator Cullum asking bis
views on railway relations with Canada,
hss written saying in substance the Cans
dian lines operating in the United States
affect the commercial or business interests
Of certain parts of the country favorably,
especially in New England and other sec
tons along the border. They affect busi-
ness interests in other parts Of the country
TO some extent unfavorably. Judge
Walker thinks the Grand Trunk and
Canada Southern railways have been
large factors in the development
of Chicago, and that the competition of the
Grand Trunk has materially aided IN
bringing about the long distance rates OF
the last year between the western and
north western states and the eastern sea
board. Whether the result obtained
through the entire country has on the
whole been more favorable than otherwise
he declined 70 say. 1t was hardly worth
while TO speculate on. ''In fact" says the
letter, ''tt hardly seems worth while TO sd
just the balance. The Canadian roads are
in existence; commercial conditions have
become firmly settled in their use ana they
are rapidly working their way in other di-
rectiOns. Ii is obvious that their relations
to interstate commerce in the United States
can by no possibility be entirely eradi-
cated.''
In discussing the question whether traffic
carried from point 10 point in the United
States belongs naturally 10 the Canadian
lines, the letter states that some Of the
Canadian lines are geographically perfectly
natural routes, but that IL the Canadian
lines were not available for service, IL
would be practicable for traffic TO be- car
rted wholly within the United States.
Judge Walker considers the many prOpO-
sitIOns which have been made at length,
especially regarding the long and short
haul clause, and closes: "It apparently
would not be unjust for our government 70
require from the Canadian lines which are
employed in conducting commerce be-
tween the different states of the union
an engagement with the United States
government in some effective form and. If
necessary, under the sanction of q treaty
providing that the entire traffic Of the roads
composing the several routes so used shall
be conducted in accordance with all the
provisions of the act TO regulate commerce,
adding suitable arrangements for the ser
vice Of process and the enforcement and
collection of penalties. In other words,
all that is required would seem to be some
provision which should put the Canadian
roads upon an equal footing with our
own

FIGHTING IN THE STREET.
Police and Strikers In Duluth Shoot
to Kill.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 6.-The Trib-
unes Duluth special says: This afternoon at
/ O'Clock the police were at 18th Avenue on
Michigan street guarding men who were at
work in sewer trench. The strikers started
from Goth Avenue while another body came
down from Third street by 25th Avenue and
made rush with clubs and stones. The
police stood their ground and then the car
mage began. Strikers did the first firing.
AS the strikers made rush single shot
was fired, then crack. crack, crack went the
rifles of the police, followed by fusilade
from the strikers rev0lvers. After the first
fire came an awful hush, as though the com.
batants were appalled, at the awful result OF
their work. :.
On the walk in front of Piedmont as it
Joins Garfield avenue, lay man shot through
the heart, and several more bleeding from
CHASTITY wounds.
Theu the hell broke loose again, but the
strikers, stationing themselves around the
building in different parts of the blocks be-
tween Garfield and 18th avenue, poured in a
steady fire on the police, who were stationed
near the sewer ditch. From four O'Clock
until after 5, the horrible work went on and
the battle did not withhold its fury long
enough for the wounded to leave the field.
1t was after o'clock when the last shot was
fired, and terrible indeed had been the result.
Over Is men are known to be wounded, and
two innocent victims, who were there only
out of curiosity, paid it with their lives.

Rev. Charles H. Barrows, u. ~, of san

evening at Williston church. His sermons
were able and interesting. In the morning
DIR. Barrows's subject was "The Divine In

Paul having previously sketched in magnifi-
cent outline Gods scheme of the universe,
attempts to declare divine purpose revealed
In 1t. First,'the intention to present you holy

ness is a consequence. holiness its aDteced-
ent The universe is developed from the
mind of God. Evolution, when synonymous
with development, is the crowning work
towards which man is to labor. Men who
live in a forgetful manner, who allow
varying moods to govern them, hidden mo-
tives to controlthem may stand unreprovable

and bolt their lives to the power and energy
of the gospel. Not otherwise can they at

fountain Of the next.
Secondly, what is the condition ''if so be
that you continue" &c? Many things are
dependent upon an If. If the prayers of
the fathers and mothers had not existed, not
only the American Republic, but the founda-
tion stones of all ennobling histories would
not have been laid. There is provision at

who is ready to sacrifice other and minor
considerations for the purpose of
attaining useful knowledge in his
sphere of life, the young man who is
persistently determined to command wide

farthest horizon of his hope. The provision
for his achievement is laid down in the
divine thought, whether The adapts his own

world to carry some fragile human pitcher to

life which alone can fill it. We cannot be
content If we have any due appreciation ol
the obligation the age has upon us to make
some narrow human channel for some stream
of life; we must have the water of life flow
ing through the land of our pilgrimage thai
the verdant fruitage of an honorable career
may mark its banks.

Senator Cullom-Do you apprehend any
danger of Canadian traffic leaving you to
seek Canadian ports?
Mr.. Thaxter-I am not SO well acquainted
with that part of the subject. There seem
to me to be natural obstacles to prevent 1t,
chiefly the length of the rail route. Hostile
action on our part might aid the Canadian
government ia forcing that traffic into un-
natural channels.
Senator Cullom-How large an amount

Mr.. Thaxter-From one to three thousand

products, sweet corn for canning, etc."
At least $1,000 cars of western produce
come into Maine in year, probably, of
which at least three-quarters come in over

most our whole reliance. The figures OF the
traffic show these facts:
