anticipate any change, but can tell you
more about it Monday after
nOOn." He was also asked what
was the Duluth's position with
reference to freight rates. He replied:
1.-THE st. Paul & Duluth will act inde-
pendently, but will meet any rate made
by any other line. 1t matters not how
low that rate may be. we are prepared
to meet it. think this open state of
affairs will in the long run benefit the
shippers, by causing reductions in rates
all around. Of course ] regret the pres
ent decentralization as much as any one,
but fail to see how, under the circum-
stances. it could have been avoided.

The Eastern Minnesota Takes
a Hand in the Slashing
Of Rates.
Prospects Decidedly Good for
an Old-FaShioned Rate
War.
Chicago Lines Propose to No
Longer Probate With East
ern Connections,
And Thus Turn Over q First
Class Bonanza to the Lake
Superior Lines

The most important change in the
freight rate situation yesterday was the
issue OF new schedule of lake and rail
Northern Steamship line. Henry D.
Minot, on being asked the position of
the Eastern Minnesota. said that in con-
sequence of the failure of the meeting
in Chicago to come to any agreement,
it was felt that new schedule, based
on their views of what was just
and fair. was due. This schedule
is not based upon any differential basis,
but is an entirely Independent move.
If the Chicago lines choose to meet the
cut they are at liberty to do so, and it Is
understood that the Eastern railroad,
and in fact all the Lake Superior lines,
will take the independent stand that
they are at liberty to do as they please.
The rates announced by the Northern
Steamship company and Eastern Min
nesota are as follows:
no,., From Ton3, 49,, Il 2 3 4
Boston to st.
New York and
Boston to Du- 40 .. 40 o.

land Transportation company:
L 2 3 4 8 6
fte@ to St. Ns% Paul: .ofn .''.s1 4s So % 25 %
to Duluth. AT 80 81 26 % 21
Circulars containing the notices of
these rates were mailed to the other
lines, but though rumors of the rate
cutting were rife in all freight Offices
yesterday afternoon, it was evident that
nothing was known of the Eastern Min
nesota's cut. The air was also filled
with rumors of local rate cutting, but
nothing definite could be learned.
However. it is presumed that the
notice of the Burlington to the
Chicago meeting, of its Intention to cut
local rates is still in effect. This would
seem the most natural thing to do
under the circumstances, as the rates
are utterly disproportionate to the
through rates. The Omaha, Mifwau-
cold that any rate made will be met
without hesitation, and it is under
stood the Burlington's position
is very similar. A regular
old fashioned rate slashing war
is imminent, and where they will go
down to is impossible to say, but every
road seems determined to let no other
road get ahead OF it, and it is safe to
predict general cut to meet the new
rates of the Eastern Minnesota. Prob
ably they and the other Lake Superior
lines will cut below that, which cut will
again be met. and it looks as if no settle
ment could come until some of the roads
are taking business for nothing.

Rates on ALI Goods From the

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 14.-The Northwest
ern roads met here to-day to consider
the much postponed question of rates
between Chicago and st. Paul. The
matter was at once referred to special
committee, which later in the day re-
ported resolution advising the aboli-
ton of fixed proportions, and suggest
ing the adoption of percentage divisions
of through rates with the Eastern roads
on ST. Paul business. This proposition
was voted down, and during the rest
of the day the lines in general
conference considered how to preserve
local rates in the Northwest without
sacrificing all of the through traffic. 1t
was the general opinion that, in view of
the attitude of the Lake Superior lines.
this would be practically impossible. 1t
was finally suggested that all pro-rating
arrangements with the Eastern roads be
abolished, and that hereafter through
rates to points in the West be made by
adding local rates from Chicago. The
effect of this arrangement will be to
turn over to the Lake Superior lines all
of the st. Paul business and large
part of the Dakota aud Minnesota
tIdlllC. IL was GuOuSut, uOWCtCI, ttdt
it would be more profitable to the Chi
cago lines to make this sacrifice than
to pull down the local rates all over
the West and Northwest. The plan
is still IN rather chaotic state.
Several roads whose adhesion to the
proposed change is necessary were not
present, and the whole matter was
finally laid over until tomorrow for
further consideration. 1t is regarded
as very uncertain if all the necessary
roads will agree to the proposed scheme.
If adopted, however, it will be great
victory for the Lake Superior lines, and
will also seriously cripple the Central
Traffic association roads, as business
which they have heretofore secured
will seek cheaper routes. Aside from
the consideration of the change in the
basis of rates in the Northwest, only
routine matters of little consequence
were taken up. The conference in re-
gard to the Northwestern situation will
be resumed tomorrow morning.

Machine and Handmade Watches.

The two rival methods of machine
and hand work have both received great
impetus in Switzerland during the past
few years. Though American competi-
ton has put the Swiss ON their mettle
and obliged them to introduce improve
ments in all branches of the craft, there
still remains two distinct methods of
manufacture. The French speaking pop
ulation are generally bound to the hand
system, and all their progress has been
along the line of perfecting the watch
maker, while, to great extent, the
American machine system has been
adopted by the German speaking can
tons. From general point of view,
says Jeacelers' Circular, it must be adj
mitted that while machinery has vastly
cheapened the cost of production, and
at the same time preserved good de-
gree of accuracy in the essential quail
tiles of timepiece, the part the skilled
matchmaker plays in the perfecting of
fine watches has not and probably can
not be filed by any labor-saving device.
Both methods have produced good re-
suits; the one by affording serviceable
article at low price, and the other by
attaining to grade ofexcellence nearly,
if not quite, commensurate with the
higher price more expensive process
entails

Afraid to Get Rich.

A rumor is current at Athens, Ga,
to the effect that there is rock in
Clarke County, about six miles from
town, upon which no man dares to
tread. The superstitious say that about
twenty or twenty-five years ago an old
gentleman buried coffee-pot full of
gold at the foot of this rock and has
since died, and when man passes that
way his ghost appears and drives him
Off Parties passing near this place
have been run more than mile by this
invisible ghost. They say that when
they come near the place, even though
it be perfectly still day, noise can
be heard like terrible cyclone, and
the tall pines which surround the rock
begin to bow and many Of them fall to
the ground. One Sunday two gentle-
men from Athens, who heard the rumors
and doubted them, visited the rock
with the intention of proving the re-
ports to be false, but the did not stop
long. They climbed to the top of the
rock, when they became astounded by
hearing terrible crash. Hardly before
they knew it q large pine tumbled to
the ground right at their feet While
an examination of the tree was being
made, which was twisted from the
ground, another fully as large came
down with crash. The explorers
then skipped out. = Indianapolis

New York Sum. The idea In war Is TO
win battles. Why should the men who
go into an enemy's camp and count his
numbers be reproached and the Gem
eral who acts on the information and
wins a fight be praised2 If because
they go in disguise, one can assert that
half the movements in campaign are
disguised. Troops advance or retreat
to play hypocrite and deceive the enc
my. Our gunboats were often dis
guised in order to get an advantage,
and neither side hesitated at any STRAIT
agem which promised to blind the
other.
Why it is legitimate warfare for
gunboat to shut off her lights and
sneak past battery at midnight to
take a position below, and matter of
contempt for an individual to pass that
same battery on foot to see what is be-
yond, is q puzzle to me. The rule in
war is to welcome the deserter VINO
has information. but to shoot down the
patriot who comes to possess himself
Of any, and it will, perhaps, always re-
main so.
