Animus Of tho Monon Suit.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19-[Special Telegram TO
THE Bee l-O1icals of the Monon road here
have nothing to add to the statement pub
lished yesterday concerning the suit that has
been commenced against them. They con-
slider 1t a full and sufficient answer to all
charges made, and are willing to wait for the
final disposition Of the case for any further
indication that may be required. A local
paper says: "Outsde the official circles of
the Monon itself, the opinion is entertained
that the fling Of the bills is but the first
move in grand coup which has
been arranged with view of GUST
ing the present management at
the next annual meeting and reinstating
General j. B. Carson as president OF the road
IL is not thought that General Carson had
anything TO do personally with the filing of
this bill, but there have been rumors in circu-
latlon for some time that he was at work to
see what could be done in the way of securing
the support OF majority of the stock to over
throw his supplanters and remstate him in
the supreme management of the road. 1t is
understood that up to q few days ago, at
least, he had not succeeded in his attempt,
and 1t is argued that the present attack may
help him out in the matter by causing timid
stockholders to sell out at the best prices OBJ
tainable. The next annual meeting of the
company will be held IN New York March II,
and the proceedings will be watched for with
considerable interest by the railroad world
'lf the present management succeed in
keeping their seat in the saddle. then it is eX-
pected that they will be left to pursue the

Commissions to Eastern A gents.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE.l-The railway press bureau says:
"Chicago passenger officials of eastern lines
have no confidence in the stability of the
agreement to boycott any outside lines pay
ing commissions in their territory or
any of their own lines paying any
commissions whatever. 1t is positively
known that two western roads now
have agents in the east, trying to subsidize
ticket agents. At least one eastern road ha s
had agents out since the agreement wa
signed. assuring agents that the end would
come In mouth or two; meantime they
would not pay commissions, but when the
agreement collapsed, payment for all busi-
ness in the interim would be made. AT least
one western general passenger agent asserts
that he will promptly send a check to any
agent east or west who sends him voucher
showing the ticket agent has routed business
over his road. Fifty-nine eastern lines have
signed the agreement. The crucial test will
be early in March, when proof turns up that
commissions have been paid ~

CHICAGO, Feb. l9.-[Spocial Telegram to
THE Bee. E.l-The unexpected has happened
in the embryonic Chicago.St. Louis passen-
ger rate war. This has developed from the
fiat denial of the Jacksonville q Southeastern
people that they first proposed the 81 round
trip rate, aud that their first intimation of
such rate was when they saw it quoted by
the Alton. General Superintendent Ryder
Of the Southeastern also denies that his road
offered a 80 rate, and affirms that even now
the Southeastern is not meeting the Alton
rate but Is making 1t from East st. Louis
only.
Vice President Springer Of the Atchison
also affirms the above and adds that
the Alton on it's own showing had only
the word of a prospective passenger that the
Southeastern had offered the rate before it
posted the 81 rate.
The Alton on the contrary affrms that its
st. Louis agent had positive knowledge of
the 81 rate having been offered by the South
eastern. The matter will be fought out in
the Western Passenger association. The
Southeastern has demanded an investigation.

1t is Expected That the Rebel

LONDON, Aug. l0-Startling infOr-
nation is in possession of the Chilean
legation in reference to the conspir-
acy to destroy the two Chilean iron
clads, Presidente Pinto and the Er-
razursis. 1t appears that the sum OF
$1,000 was offered to an English mari
time officer in the service Of the Chill

to blow up the Errazursis. He re.
fused the offer with Indignation.
While the vessel was in the harbOT
of Lisbon suspicious vessels were seen
approaching at night, but the careful
lookout on the vessel kept them at
bay.
There was no doubt purpose TO eX

The tug Occident left yesterday
afternoon for Point Roberts, after

will arrive this morning, and the fish
will be packed in ice at one Of the

which has been sent here for that pur-
pose, and shipped TO Chicago where IA
ready market awaits them. Ten tons
Of ice will be used in the shipment,
which will be rushed through 10 its
destination on fast freight train.
The run Of salmon is very heavy,
and the canncry at Scmiahmoo is re-
cciying more than can be cared for,
while the run in the Fraser river Is
exceedingly light, and the canncries
are consequently doing a slim busi-
ness
The gentleman shipping the salmon
from here is A. Williams, "A fish dealer
of Seattle.
With such an abundance Of food
fish Of various kinds, the wonder Is
that the business of shipping fresh

larger proportions. However, freight
