TROUBLE BREWING IN TIE NoRTHwEsr.


Chicago, Feb. 2G.-Thcrc seems TO be trouble brewing
in the northwest division 0f the Western Passenger
Association in consequence OF the persistent demand Of
the Chicago, st. Paul and Kansas City Road for au'
thority TO make q special rate for the 1st Regiment
Of the Minnesota National Guard from 81. Paul to
Chicago on the occasion OF that regiments proposed
visit to New York TO take part in the National Encamp-
mcnt next juno. Traffic Manager Busenbarh. Of the
aboveJnamed road, proposed 10 make a rate equal 10
81 80 per mile, or, in other words. to charge only
81 200 for "a special train, claiming that the profit
wonld be about equal 70 the revenue derived from tho
average train between those points. Tho othef
Northwestern lines objected to this on the ground that
the charge was too low for the service, and that "A
bad precedent would be established by making train
instead of individual rates. by the terms Of the
agreement no member Of the association can make "A
reduced rate without the unanimous consent OF The
competing lines in the association. The majority
Of the Northwestern roads are strongly opposed %
the adoption Of Mr. BuSenbarks figures. and tho
Chicago, ~. Paul and Kansas CITY can only adOll
hem in violation Of the agreement.

never rallied. had she lived until Septem-

beyond the allotted time of three-score and
ten. The real cause of her death was
simply exhaustion resulting from old age
For time Wednesday evening she was
unconscious, but after rallying apparently
suffered no pain.
Mrs. Polk was conscious of the ap
preaching change. and only few mo
ments before it came called upon her sur

upon the head of each member, gave heI
blessing.

Mrs. Polk says that she was told thi.
morning that the end was at hand. Yes,
she quietly replied, Il know it; I'm ready
for 1t, and have been all my life ready &c

then at length attested her faith in the
Christian religion. and the peace of mind
and happiness 1t had always given her
even unto the present moment. From this
expression she continued with a cleal
voice, though becoming momentaril,
feehler, to thank God for His goodnes.
