Eastbound Lines from Chicago on she
 Verge of an Upheaval-What the
 zcaIpers Have Been Doing.
 CHICAGO, May 22.-An evening paper says: Chicago eastbound lines are on the verge of an upheaval which promises to dwarf the passenger rate war of western lines. The csuse can be traced to the failure of the eastern lines to stop commission paying. These commissions have been growing to such proportions that scalpers have taken advantage of them to cut the rate to New York. Several scalpers have been making e $16 and in some cases $15 rate to New York over a route made up by the Baltimore and Ohio, Nicsel Plate and the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western. This morning reporter found frst-class unlimited tickets on sale by notorious scalper at $11 frst-class, Chicago to New York. The route Is over the Niagara Falls Short Line and West Shore. The other lines cannot stand such competition as this and several of them are contemplating a re- duetion to $16 except on their limited vesti- hule trains. Trouble is certain to follow the continuation of this rate.
 CHICAGO, May 22.-The Traffic association today decided that 1t was too late to recall their action in reducing rates on provisions to the seaboard. The reduction will go into effect Monday. In consequence of this deci- sion the rate given by tho Lake and Rail line will doubtless be cancelled.

THEY LEFT IN p1ssusr.

The CIoth1ers Fail to Agree With the
 Matters and Furnishing Goods Mer-
 chants ana Refuse to Argue With
 Them-Two Nikhts- Closing for Six
 Months.
 Another long and stormy meeting was held by tho clothing, hat and furnishing goods merchants at the Tontine hotel last night to endeavor to come to some arrangement about closing their stores on as many evenings as possible through the week. The merchants could agree on nothing. Almost every man had a scheme of hts own which the others would not agree to. The Hebrew furnishing goods merchants were bound to keep open every night of the week. The olothiers almost to man wished to close at least two nights week. Most of them were in favor of clos ing four. So heated did the discussion be- come by 10 o'clock that the clothing dealers took their hats and coats and left in disgust, declaring that they would have no fur- ther dealings with the furnishers and would hold a meeting of their own. An hour later the furnishing goods men began to depart, from physical weariness;mor than because satisfactory agreement had been made. Most of those remaining finally agreed upon compromise. They were will. ing to close two nights a week, Wednesday and Thursday, for eight months of the year. On the other four months, May, June, Mo- vember and December, they would keep open every night. A committee was appointed to visit those merchants who were not present and ascertain if this plan would be agreeable to them. The few absent merchants, how ever, gre known to be among the number who close every night but Monday and Sat- urdaV.

THE INOANDEsCENT LAMP.
Suit Begun to Decide Who Was Its IR

Suit Begun to Decide Who Was Its IR-
 NEW YORK, May 22.-Tria1 was begun to- day of suit against the United States Elec- trio Lighting company by Walker K. Free man, who claims that he, and not Edison, invented the incandescent lamp, and who alleges that the company made a contract with him in 1882 to push his claim before the patent office and If successful to pay him $10O,000 for it. He alleges that through the neglect of the company the ap- plication failed and he sues for the $10O, ,O0O and for $50, ,000 damages for being discharged and for loss of salary. One of the allegations made by Freeman is that in 1878, while he was living at Racine, Wis, he invented the lamp and sent it to Edison. About two years later Edison announced as bis own invention the same lamp and when Freeman protested Edison offered him $50, ,000 if he would keep quiet about it. He aftsrward entered the company's employ. The com pany claims that it never contracted to push Freeman's claim, but is he could establish a patent himself the company would buy his rights. The company also charges that even this contract was obtained by fraudulent representations on Freeman's part, and that he subsequently sold his alleged rights to other parties. The claim for salary due is also denied. Mir. Edison is not made party to the suit.

The Senate Finance Committee to Re.
 port a Subssitute.
 WASHINGTON, May 22.-It is the present intention of the members of the senate finance committee to report substitute for the Mckinley tariff bill, when their consid- eration of that measure shall have been com- pleted. This course is deemed to be better than to report the bill as it came from the house with amendments. For when it goes into committee on conference there will be but one question to settle instead of myriad of differences upon points in detail. This wss the course pursued with the tariff bill of 1883 and 1t wss found to result in a sav- ing of time. The finance committee will en- deavor to maintain its determination not to give oral hearings to interested parties, but it was reported to-day that importers of sev- eral cities to the number of two thousand will come to Washington next week demand ing to be heard. If any such number or even . smaller number appears in body 1t is probable that the committee will open its doors to the representatives.
