DRESSED BEEF RATE WAR.
Competitors of the Grand Trunk
Meet Its Cut.


Meet Its Cut.
CHICAGO, June "a meeting of the
Chicago committee OF the Central Traffic
association was hurriedly called this
morning to consider the action of the
Grand Trunk on Saturday in insisting
on its differential of three cents per
hundred pounds ON dressed meats from
Chicago to the seaboard, and therefore
quoting rate of 42 cents. When the
committee got together, the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern gave notice it
would make basis of AZ cents to meet
the Grand Trunk rate. AS conse-
quence, the rate will be made via all
lines, and the Grand Trunk differential
again wiped out. Railroad men
do not doubt that the Grand
Trunk will at once drop another
notch, which will in turn be met by the
other lines. How far the see-saw will
go is a matter for speculation. The
Lake Shore gave notice that the Accent
rate would be applied not only to Bos-
ton, but to New York shipments also.
Furthermore, the Lake Shore an
nouncd reduction in the rate on cattle
from 26 cents to "a cents, and in the
rate on pork In barrels and lard in
tierces from 25 cents to % cents hun
dred pounds from Chicago to New
York. These reductions are to take
effect June l6. The other roads will
meet the Lake Shores action.

The suit was to forecloSe a mortgage,
thereby cutting off lease of the prop

Mica Mining company, of New
York city. This company defended
the foreclosure. claiming that the mort
gage of $4,000 from Stewart Gray. of
York. N. Y, to his son was without
consideration. The decree of the court
established the validity of the mortgage
and cuts off all lines and membranes
upon the property, thus giving Armour
& Co. an opportunity to procure COM
plete title to this valuable mining prop
erty near The great Retsof salt mine.

Minnesota, the title of the silver bill,
passed Saturday, was amended so as to
read as follows: "Directingnthe pur-
chase of silver bullion and the issue of
treasury notes thereon, and for other
purposes" Mr.. Lodge, of MaSSachu-
sets, offered resolution directing the

house whether it is true that the Cunard
Steamship company on Saturday last
refused to obey the orders OF United

certain emigrants landed at New York
by said company in violation of the con-
tract labor laws; what steps have been
taken to refuse entry to steamships

GAIETY AT WEST POINT.
Prospective Generals Entertain a
Host of Visitors.

hOSG Oh lSitOfS.
WEST POINT, n. Y, June 9.-This
has been day of pleasure and excite
ment-pleasure for the cadets, exciting
to the spectators. A game of base ball
was the attraction this morning, be-
tween mines of the second and third
classes. The academy board has been
busily engaged in its labors of
working out tho standing of the
cadets: the cadets have entertained
their lady friends, or vice versa
would, probably, be putting it more
properly; bloodless battle was fought
on the plains this afternoon, and to-
night the Hudson river is being bonn
barded, the days pleasures to wind up
with display of military pyrotechnlcs,
which means paper bombs filled with
colored fire. This afternoon at 5 O'Clock
the cadet corps marched out on the
plains, about $50 strong, and for one
hour illustrated to the 1,500 ladies and
gentlemen assembled how troops ma
neuyer on the field of battle. The troops
were deployed in skirmish line, adj
yanced and retreated, rallied and
retreated again, firing as they adj
vanced and firing as they rallied.
In all over 10000 rounds of
ammunition were used, but, fortunately
for the spectators, they were all blank
cartridges. The sight was grand one,
and so rapid was the discharge of mus
kerry at times that one could well mag
inc himself in the heat of battle. The
general verdict was that, while the
youth of the military academy are being
trained to handle the sword as officers,
they are also we'll instructed in handling
the rife as the private soldier. Tonight
the mortar practice took place at s
O'Clock from battery made up of one
tifteen-inch mortar, three eight
inch and three of ten-inch. The target
was red buoy located in the river
near Target hill. The spar bridge build
ing set down for tomorrow morning
has been abandoned. and the only mill
tary drill of the day will be that of light
battery in the afternoon. The new steel
rifed guns are here, mounted on the
steel carriages. but they will not be
used. as they are breeeh leaders, and i'll
order to use them the tactics will have
to be modifed, which requires time.

wheat imported from Canada amounted
to $4,000, and was, of course, mostly
for seed. The largest import is barley,
which the brewers buy IN Canada on
account of some quality peculiar to it
that is not possessed by that grown in
this country. 1t will still be used, and
the added tariff of 20 cents will be
divided between the maltsters.and the
Canadian growers. The other chief
articles are eggs, hay, horses, beans,
peas and garden truck sold to people in
towns in New York state and New
England. They do not affect the West
ern producer. The barriers to traffic
with Canada will be damage to the
Canadian, but hurt the Western pro-
Queer still more.

WILL PROBABLY WIN.

The vote taken in the Louisiana legis-
lature the past week on the lottery ques-
ton affords small encouragement for
the eXtirpation of the cancer from that
state. There were 40 in favor to 26
against. The change of single vote
would give the lottery the needed two
thirds over the veto of the governor.
But these figures do not present the
peril in full. There were % votes
not cast. There is no statement as
to how these are divided. Some may
represent vacancies and some be una
voidably absent, but it is more likely
that the greater number are holding
out for big figures to sell out. If of this
class, they may be counted on the side of
the lottery. The opposition now hardly
does more than hope. The absolute
figures are not shown. 1t will be a
pleasant surprise if the great corrupter
of legislative and public sentiment doe S
not score victory there. In that case
there will hardly be auy further effort
to capture North Dakota. Louisiana
secured for twenty-five years will be all
they will need.

Dismissed a Famous Claim.

WASHINGTON. June 9.--The court OF
claims to-day settled the famous Austin
cotton claim. This:was claim for about
$50, 600 for cotton seized in Louisiana
and Texas, and rested upon the loyalty
of Sterling Austin, deceased, father of
the claimants. 1t also involved the
question of whether the general am
nesty act of 1868 removed his disabilities
in case he was proved to have been dis
loyal. The court decided the latter
point in the negative. The court dis
missed the petition on the ground that
the loyalty of Sterling Austin had not
been estabIished.A supplementary opin-
ion was, however, given, fixing the value
of the property seized at $50, 1887.
