The Fight Promises to Dwarf
the Eastern War in
Dressed Beef Rates.
The Battle Opened by Notice Issued
by the ST. Paul Road---The
Reduction illustrated.
Ruction Among the Members of King
Kalakau's Cabinet---French Duty
on American Corn.
cHrcAao. July.7.


A rate war on coal has begun at Chieaeo
which promises to dwarf the eastern war
ia dressed beef rates. The battle was
opened by notice OF the Ht. Paul road
that on aud after July 10 ii would apply 20
points In the west from Milwaukee The
same rate ON dock coal as Is made from
Duluth.
This liz reduction of 25 cents ton
making the rate to Sioux City, for instance,
$2.ai cents ton instead OF $2.66. The
Lake Superior lines have always applisa q
rs cent differential on this coal, and this
alone would cause rate war, which viii
probably end In q rate of less than 81 10
all points common 10 the Northwestern
and st. Paul systcms. But the hottest time
Is expected from the spring Valley mines
in Illinois, owned mainly by Hon. w.
l.. Scott OF Pennsylvania and President
Hughitt of the Northwestern. Mr.. Scott
Is also director OF the Northwestern. and
some years ago Director Scott Of the
Northwestern made contract with d.
rector Scott Of the Spring Valley miaes
to protect his coal from competition via
Milwaukee.
This contract has bobbed mp and BEEN
ventilated at numerous meetings Of tQe
Western Freight association, and for tke
sake Of harmony the Sc. Paul road b
allowed the Northwestern TO make tle
Lake Superior rate from Spring Vallst
The st. Paul has found, however. that
il must be on an even heel with lis cora
petitors, and instead OF being forced otst
OF the business proposes to in all eases
make the same rates via Milwaukee rs VA
Duluth.

Annie Einhorn was very pretty girl Of
10 years, who had been born in Australia:

THE PHILADELPHIA.


A Naval Oeieer Thinks the speed Test Was
Somewhat JCrooked-
NEW YoRK, July 7.
There seems TO be some dissatisfaction
over the speed test of the Philadelphia.
One of the officers of the 'Essez, which
Law along the -Philadelphia's" course, has
sent . letter 10 friend In New York in
which he says: when the trial was made
we were no where near the position as
signed ns. and the same may be said OF the
other vessels which were intended TO lay
ont the course. This was an fnexcuaable
blunder on the part of those in charge, for
there is no earthly reason why we should
not have started out in time 30 assume our
proper positions.
1--WE saw the 'Philadelphia coming over
the course aud supposed she was simply
making preliminary trial. You may
imagine oar surprise when littla later, as
40 were attempting 10 get into position.
the information came that the trial Was
over. Al first there was only surprise, bat
when we began TO study all the peculiar
circumstances attending the trial, when we
began 10 put things together, as Il were,
our surprise gave way 70 well grounded
suspicion that everything was FAR from be-
ing straight on deck In connection With the
trial.
my personal Impression ~ that ths
whole thlng was cooked up job. Idoncl
believe the philadelphia made twenty
knots an hour. The Cramps and newspa-
per correspondents are responsible for ths
| twenty knots and there is mo reason whl
the 'philadelphia should mot BE compelled
10 make trial when no question could b
raised Az to the speed she may make.

The columbia cycle calendar.

BY far the most valuable business
calendar for 1891, and entirely unique
in design, is the Columbia Cycle CAL
endar and Stand, issued by the Pope
Mfg. Co. of Boston, Mass. The Calen-
dar is in the fornfof a pad containing 1855
leaves. each 55x29 inches; one for each
day of the year, to be torn off daily, and
the entire year. At the lower end of
each leaf is blank for memoranda,
and as the leaves are only fastened at
the upper end any leaf can be exposed.
No stub is left when the leaves are
torn off. The pad rests upon stand,
containing pen rack and pencil holder,
and when placed upon the desk the en-
tire surface of the date leaf is brought
directly and kept constantly before the
eve making it impossible to overlook
date or memoranda. The stand is made
of stained wood. mounted with raised
letters in brass. thus forming an crna-
mental paper weight. The day of the
week and the day of the year together
with the number of days to come. are
given, and each slip bears short para
craps pertaining to cycling and kindred
subjects. These paragraphs have been
carefully collated from leading pnblica-
tions and prominent writers. the larger
number having been specially written
for this purpose. Although this is the
sixth issue of the Calendar, all the
matter is fresh and new. comprising
notable events in cycling, opinions of
physicians and c'ergymen, hints about
road making, and numerous other
topics, the whole being enough to
make fair sized volume when printed
in book type.
