TELEGRAPHING FALSE REPORTS.

The usual sensational dispatches from Chicago
announced yesterday that the Chicago, Burlington and
Northern had made arrangements by which Il could
make through rates from New-York TO ST. Paul and
Minneapolis Of SO cents for 100 pounds hrstclass
freight, retaining only 10 cents its proportion from
Chicago TO the Northwestern twin cities. BY these
means 1t hoped TO involve the trunk lines east Of
Chicago in it, contest with the Canadian railways.
although the Eastern roads had only within few
days officially rejected similar proposition from Com
missioner FalthO representing all the socasd gran
ger roads. The telegraphed misnformaton was rs-
peated IN some Wall reports, but II promptly
denied.
The Chicago, Burlington and Northern did make .
proposition for establishing through tariffs from New
York to st. Paul, but It rejected by the Erie, tho
PENNSYLVANIA, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
and tho New-York, ontario and Western on the ground
that it would be a violation Of existing rules. Tho
New-York aud New England IS said 10 have assented
to the PLAN but as the Erie refused to cooperate 10
necessarily fell through. The Lehigh Valley reused
to make any pro-rating agreement but assented to
combined lake and rail traffic in connection with the
Burlington and Northern road, which does not disturb
the regular schedule.
The New-York Central referred the proposition to
tho Fate Committee Of the trunk lines. The reason
why its answer not emphatic is explained on
the ground that owing to the position OF VicePresdens
HAYDEN as acting chairman Of the Trunk Line Asso-
citation the Central IS specially DESTROYS Of taking no
step that looks like attempting to prejudice the attitude
of the associated roads. As a matter OF fact inc
Centrars managers positively opposed TO any pro
rating ar through agreements with the lines west q
Chicago 10 the same eAJeuJ Do l'a uunA A''0 "N'e"
1t is possible that formal consideration will be gwen
to-day by the Rate Committee OF the Trunk hhcs
the burlington roads proposition, but no aouOt \
entertained of its rejection.

Chicago. For traffic received nom this source the
Burlington and Norherns portion Is 90 cents per 100
but the other two roads also receive their tariff rates.
The above notices were read TO the Western Freight
Association this morning. As the 10 per cent cut 10
the through rate IS a small matter compared with
tho 80 13 per cent cut the local, the other roads
decided to " take the tail with the hide and also
quote the reduced through rate. Application for per
mission to do this was made to Chairman Falthorn By
all the roads, and It Is expected that his consent wiz
be given tomorrow Tho quoting Of through rates

THE PROPOSED 8,oOo-ToN CRUISERS.
SECRETARY TRACY THINKING OF HAVING THEN


BUILT AT THE NAVY YARDS.
Washington. Sept 17.-Secretary Tracy Is giving
careful consideration TO the question OF what snail De
done in respect 10 tho two 3-OO0ton cruisers author
lied TO be built By act OF Congress. The department
failed 10 secure bid for constructing them within
the limit of cost imposed by Congress. It was not
possible TO reduce the requirement as to speed ana
Increase tho premiums, as had been done IN the case
NJ the 1000 ton vessels for the law had fixed these
specifically There was little hope Of securing lower
bids upon reimbursement, that, aside from await
ing the tarly action Of Congress, the alternative
seemed 10 be to build tho vessel in navy yatds. 1t
70 this phase OF the case that Secretary Tracy IS con-
sidorng and should he be able TO satisfy himself that
the work can be done in a reasonable time ana at
moderate cost, It is highly probable that he VIII de-
eide TO have 1t done at the navy yards.
Upon the first point It may be stated that WhiIe
the Eastern shipbulldng navy yards are now crowded
with work. Naval Constructor IIichbon IS prepared
10 recommend that an opportunity be given the Mare
Island Yald to show what IL can do in the way OF
building modern man-ofwar. Acting under the
authority conferred by Congress, the Construction
Bureau has been actively increasing the plant at that
ward. Machine tools OF the latest type are Delng
delivered rapidly, and the acting chief c0nsuuct99r
10 undertae successfully tho construction of at loeo'
one of the ninctccn-bnOt cruisers.
In response to the telegram of c0ngratulauOn sent
vestcilag by Secretary Tracy 10 his predecessor, on
tho successful trial of the cruiser Baltimore, the
following dispatch 10 Secretary Tracy dated at l-enox
Mas was received this morning at the Navy depart
" Many thanks for your kind dispatch. | have felt
certain that the result would be satisfactory, as DO
also that you Will continue to raise me st1hddiu @u

CANOE OF HIS WORDS.
far TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE1
Washington, Sept lit is already plain that the
Democratic members OF the House are determined
that the coming session OF Congress shall be barren
Of results if they can carry out their purposes Mr.

ranks gave his party tho cue two months ago; ana

all of whom were ready 10 expel Randall from his
marty a wear ago-havc been quick to seize It, MI.
pvnum who distinguished himself tho chief
ignoramus Of Speaker Carsle's Ways and Means
Committee in the last Congress, Is here In reply
to a STAR reporter, who asked him what he Thought
Congress would accomplish at its next session, the
Hoosler statesman replied:
"Nothlng. | think that there will be a lively time
from the start We have a lot to worry the kepuD-
leans about, and will be very apt to make 1t
interesting for them. 1 do not think they VIII do
anything with the tariff"
How about the rules"
They cannot change the rules so to avoid the
constitutional provision that majority OF all The
votes shall be necessary to constitute quorum; ana
with but one, at best two, more than quorum,
all told, they cannot hope to have enough members
present at any time TO carry through any radical
measure. OF course, shall not interfere with the
organization of the House, but they cannot do any
thing that party is determined they shall not do"
for they indicate, as somo expressions from other
free traders have done that the Democratic pro-
gramme will DO 10 prevent any revenue legislation
II it be within their power to do So This IS a
condition which the Republicans and the few Demo
Gratis who favor revenue legislation must be pre-
pared TO face and overcome.
There IS confusion in Mr. Bynum's mind about the
rules, there IS about many other things. When the
new Congress meets, the House will be without any
rules, and its proceedings Will be governed Dy the
settled principles and precedcnts OF common par
