Reducing Passenger Rates,

CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-The expected break
in passenger rates in consequence Of the
collapse of the western states passenger
association has occurred. The Chicago,
Burlington & Northern to-day announced
a preliminary reduction in northwestern
rates to take effect January 1st. 1t is
claimed by the Burlington & Northern
that this step is taken to meet the regular
competition which has been going on in
spite of the agreement. The present rates
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to Chicago
are $11 for first-class limited tickets and
SO for second class. 1t is proposed to re.
duce the first-class to SO and second to 81.
At the same time the rate from st. Paul
and Minneapolis to st. Louis, which is now
$15.65, will be reduced to SIS. The Bur-
lington & Northern, furthermore, intends
to meet the rates of the 500 on excursion
tickets from Minneapolis and st. Paul to
points in Canada and New England.
Other reductions are pretty certain to fol-
low.

South Dakota's Tin Mines,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-An important
statement was made before the ways and
means committee relative to South Dakota
tin mines. W. c. Cronemayer, a tin plate
manufacturer of Pittsburg, stated that
with the recent development of tin mines
in South Dakota it now seems practically
certain That this country, with SOM addi-
tional protection for tin plate, can manu-
facture all the tin plate required for use
here and also make it for other parts of the
world. The tin mines of Dakota, he says,
are now believed to be sufficient to supply
all the tin required, not only for this coun-
try, but for the world, and with small en-
couragement there could be tin plate works
established, which would furnish employ
ment to 10000 persons.

CONSECRATING THREE BISHOPS,
An imposing Ceremony Performed in St.
Paul by Archbishop ireland.

An imposing Ceremony Performed in st.
Paul by Archbishop ireland.
$T. PAUL, Dec. 27.-This city was the
scene this morning of an event of more
than ordinary interest to churchmen, in
the Niconsecration of three new bishops
withl all the august rites and imposing GER
emonials O the Roman Catholic church.
But once before in the history of the
church in this country, has the consecra-
ton of three bishops been simultaneously
decreed, and it is probably the first time
where all three have been taken from one
diocese. The ceremony was conducted by
Archbishop ireland, assisted by Most Rev.
Thomas L.. Grace. The priests on whom
the rights were conferred were Rev. John
Stanley of st. Paul, Rev. James McGolrick
of Minneapolis, and Rev. Jane B. Cotter of
Winona. Papal commissions or Abriefs,
which were read by the resident
bishops notary in full robes, first in Latin
and then in English, appointed Bishop
Stanley to the see of North Dakota, while
Bishop McGolvrick goes to the diocese of
Duluth and Bishop Cotter will have charge
of the diocese Of Wlnona. The doors of
st. Peters cathedral were thrown open at
9 O'Clock and before 10 over 5000 people
had thronged the editice. There were six
teen bishops in the procession, in the ranks
OF which figured also nearly 800 priests.
1t was a superb and impressive spectacle.
A banquet was rendered numerous clerical
delegations which are in this city from all
parts OF the country, this afternoon, at
which Rev. Walter Elliott of New York,
one of the most prominent Catholic priests
in the country, will be one Of The most inn
pOrtant speakers.
Rev. Walter Elliott of New York de-
livered the conservation sermon at st.
Peters cathedral this afternoon, was
an elaborate and scholarly review of the
aim and ends of Catholicism and paid q
glowing tribute to Catholicism in America
and what it has accomplished.

Congressman Hansbrough Interviews
Secretary Proctor in Regard
to Dakota Indians,
He Thinks d Military Post Ought
to be Established at Turtle
Mountains.
1t is Believed that Fort TOtten Will
Soon be Abandoned as a
Military Post.
Consulting About the Indians.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-[Special.]-Rep-
resentative Hansbrough of North Dakota
had a consultation to-day with Secretary
of War Proctor over the proposed COM
mission to negotiate with the Turtle
mountain band of Chippewa Indians for
the giving up of their reservation. He be-
lieves the establishment of a temporary
and perhaps a permanent military post at
that point is among the probabilities. The
necessity for the presence OF troops grows
out of the fact that there has been a series
of disturbances in that region owing to the
refusal of several hundred half breeds who
claim to have settled upon the choicest
lands in the vicinity of the reservation, but
who persistently refuse to pay taxes and
the likelihood that these disturbances will
continue from time to time so long as the
government permits its boundary to ex-
tend to 1900 or 5000 Canadian half-breeds
who do not belong upon the reservation
and who come this side of the line only
on ration days. MI. Hansbrough
has a bill for the session of the reservation
which consists of two townships of land,
seven miles south of the dominion line
and the removal of Little Shell and his
band of Cheppewas to the White Earth
reservation in Minnesota, where the great
body of the Chippewa Indians are now
permanently located. Little Shell and his
band have cost he government over $780,
100000 in the past eight years. The white
settlers in that country have been greatly
annoyed and immigration has almost
ceased by reason of the threatening atti-
tude of the Canadian breeds. There is also
reason to believe that Fort Totten will
soon be abandoned as a military post. The
Sioux Indians of the Devils Lake reserva.
ton, are far advanced in ways of
civilization and the necessity for troops at
that post no longer exists. In case Totten
is abandoned as a military post the land
within the military reserve will revert to
the Indians. The buildings, however,
which are of a very substantial character,
belong to the war department and all ar
engagements would doubtless be made to
transfer e to the interior department
for Indian school purposes. Mr.. Hans
brough says that the way is open to the
abandonment of the military post and the
establishment of the largest Indian school
in the United States there. The buildings
are sufficient to accommodate 10000 child
rem and their teachers.
