Rates ON Fruit-Pacific Navigation Com
pany and the whatcom Route.
TACOMA, July 27.-fSpeciai. THE Puget
Bound Steamboat Association held meet
Ing tonight. II. ]. Green, of Seattle; g.
G. Chandler, Of Tacoma; c. J. Hatch, of
Olympia, and ]. G. Wordsworth, of Port
land, were appointed rate committee to
pass upon all questions of rates. Their
FIRST business will be the settlement of the
reduction Of the Sound rates on fruits, in
compliance with q communication from
Tacoma wholesale fruit dealers, who ask
that Sound rates be cut 80 ~ TO enable
Puget sound fruit growers to compete
with California producers. Owing to low
coastwise steamship rates and correspond
ingly high Sound steamer rates, Sound
fruit growers are at present placed at q
disadvantage.
In discussing the prospects of the Pacific
Navigation Company putting its three
boats--thc Skagit Chief, State Of Washing
ton and the Fairhaven-on the Whatcom
route if the steamboat pool refuses to con-
tinue the bonus. upon the refusal to pay
which the boats were laid up here, steam-
boat men say there are already enough
boats on the route, and many of them
think it would not pay for the Pacific Nav
igation Company to attempt opposition to
the pool at present. BY the terms of the
bonus 1t is understood that the Pacific
Navigation Company was to have three
months notice of the cutting off of the
bonus. This notice was probably given
July 10, and the bonus viii not be paid.
therefore, after October 10. It is said the
Pacific Navigation Company receives 81 600
per month for taking its boats off the
Whatcom route.

JAY GOULD DEFEATED.
He Must Let Rock Island Trains Cross
the Omaha Bridge,

OMAHA, July 27.-Justice Brewer, of the
United States supreme court, this morn
ing announced a decision in the famous
Union Pacific-R Island bridge case.
The decision is against the Union Pacific,
and holds that the contract with the Rock
Island and Milwaukee roads is valid.
Justice Brewer in the bridge decision
holds in substance:
The contract was signed by the proper author.
files of the Union Pacific, was approved and
duly authorized, and was binding II would
not operate at present TO disable the Union
Pacific from discharging its duties. 1t was not
compelled by its obligations to the United States
government to hold its tracks or property be-
yond the use OF any other corporation. The
contention that the term of the contract was
ninety-nine years and before it
expired the growing business OF the
Union Pacific would demand the entire posses
sion and use OF all its tracks and facilities and
that the length OF the term made that void
which might have been valid for few years
the court held that no one could foresee the
future. II the changed condition of affairs
twenty years hence should make the full use of
the tracks necessary to the Union Pacific the
powers Of court of equity would be equal to
the emergency. Furthermore, the government
was not prevented by the contract from stop
ping 1t at any time when its rights were abused
and compelling the Union Pacific to fully dis
charge its duties. The contract was simply one
to convert TO money the surplus use of part of
the Union Pacific property.
In conclusion the court held none OF the OBJ
tections well taken and that the contract was
not ultra cfres. The court further said that the
testimony disclosed the fact that before the con-
tract was entered into the Rock Island had de-
termined to build bridge at Omaha and I'LL the
gap between Council Bluffs and Beatrice by its
own line, IN conjunction with the Chicago.
Milwaukee 4 81. Paul 1t had secured a charter
from congress, and negotiations were pending
to secure the necessary money TO do the work.
At this point the officers of the Union Pacific
sought those of the Rock Island and
prevented the building OF the bridge by
means of the contract now in question.
This was q case in which a court OF equity
may decree specific performance. Relying on the
contract made by tho officers OF the Union
Pacific, who had long experience with the prop
erty and distinguished ability as railroad
officials, the plaintiff abandoned plans and ne
gotiations for antndependent line, aud expends ed
over q million and a half in building from
Omaha 10 Lincoln. The same considerations re-
quire that like decree be entered in the casa of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
At the conclusion of Judge Brewers de-
cision, Judge Dundy gave his views, dis
senting entirely from the opinion of his
colleague. The conference between the
principals will be submitted to Justice
Brewer Wednesday.

FIREMEN AND PASSES.
Reply of President Griffith, of the Ca
Line, to Chief Kellogg,


Line, to Chief Kellogg.
Chief Kellogg has published in an open
letter plea for the firemen's right to
courtesies on street car lines extended to
mail carriers and to policemen. He main
tanned that firemen were practically
always on duty, whereas policemen had
but eight hours duty and were off sixteen
hours. To this Mr.. L. II. Griffith replies
as follows:
Your open letter has been perused. We need
comment only on two things in reply We may
say that we carry mail carriers with their
pouches only free while exercising their exact
duty collecting and distributing mail We do
this a. q matter of business presuming that
they deal directly with the patrons of our lines,
and that each patron contributing TO the sup
port of our road would wish to have us do SO.
We may wish at the same time that they
were in Halifax. The free and early
distribution of mail by carriers proba-
bly, takes directly from us hundreds
OF fares daily, but our generous governments has
seen fit for the common good to do this and we
for the Same reason contribute our aid to expe-
dite matters We charge the same account with
the expense OF carrying police while on duty,
presuming, in business way, that ii pays us 10
do so, as they police our property and patrons.
We are not so sure, however, that this lob is
profitable We regret not being able to employ
the services OF firemen and others as well. We
can frankly say that We have no in
tention of discriminating against any
one or any special department ana
cannot look upon the matter a. issue in that
light. The lsborer or the man with seven chill.
dren has as good a right 70 say that we dis
criminate with them. Discrimination in our
case means tax upon our patrons who paw for
our services and the expense OF carrying them.
In sndeayoring to earn this tax and patronage
we hope to maintain frequent service, good
cars in good repair, good tracks and proper
allowance for the repair of street planking, thus
justly earning an ungrudged fare from every.
one who accepts our services

An Old Land Grant Revived.

PORTLAND, July 27-[Special. 1.-The Ore
gon & California Railroad Company today
commenced suit In the United States cir
cult court against fifty-three land holders
who have taken up claims within the limit
of the old Oregon Central grant, for the
purpose of compelling them to quiet title to
lands they have filed on. Complaint alleges
that the land Office had no right to receive
filings. The land under dispute was
granted to the old Oregon Gen.
trail road by an act of congress
passed May 4, 1870, and as the Oregon
& California company succeeded the old
company, and assumed all its indebted
ness, plaintiffs claim they also came into
possession of all the lands acquired by the
Oregon e. California company through
patents from the United States govern
ment. The case promises to lead to end
less litigation; and several hundred Others
who have filed the same way will be
affected by the decision of the court.
