Resurrection.

Each night we seek temporary death, And are unhappy if it fails to come, And morning dawns with life in every breath, And the tongue speaks, that for q time was dumb. And when the longer death that none escape, Conquers our seventy years, or less or more, Is it not sleep that takes another shape: And shall we not waken as before?

CHICAGO, May 16.-The east-bound
freight situation is such that general
break in rates would surprise nobody.
While the Western lines are on their
good behavior, as result of the indict-
ments recently found by the federal
grand jury against certain of their
officers, some of the Eastern roads have,
apparently, grown more reckless than
usual. 1t Is difficult to see how gen.
eral reduction in rates can be avoided
much longer. The Big Four and the
Chesapeake & Ohio are ma king openly

Nickel Plate and the Lackawanna lines
have been getting the bulk of the east
bound through traffic from this city for
months, and it does not seem probable
that they could secure and retain such
an advantage over other roads with
out making concessions 10 shippers.
The special agent of the interstate COM
merce commission is Investigating
charges of violation of the law by Civ
ing certain advantages to shippers
against the Lackawanna and Nickel
Plate, and the matter is to be laid before
the next Ieuerdl grand jury. OWING 10
the exceedingly low basis at which lake
rates are held the only way for the rail-
roads to get through business is to cut
the rates, and it is plain that some of
them do not Scrupie to do SO. 1t is
stated on good authority that rate is
being quoted from Chicago to Liverpool,
both via Boston and Philadelphia, on
flour and grain at an equivalent of 253S
cents per 100 pounds. The inland rate
from Chicago TO New York is % cents,
which would leave only five-eighths of a
cent for the ocean transportation. This
might be accepted by steamship in
need of ballast, but in this case it is be-
lieyed that the inland rate is cut
CHICAGO, March 16.-Application
will probably be made to Chairman
Finley by the lines operating between
st. Paul and Chicago for relief from the
inequality eXising against them owing
to the low rates made to New York and
Boston by the 500 line. No grounds
apparently exist for the report from St.
Paul that the Chicago roads have al
ready begun to cut the rates, nor will
they do so until authorized by Chairman
Finley to meet the 500 reduction. Mr..
Finley to-day denied the application for
tourist rates to st. Paul, Minneapolis
and kindred points, on the ground that
he has no authority to do so under the
provision Of the agreement on which ap-
plication was made.

sixteen in number, are perfect, and
will accommodate 500 horses. The
grounds and building, as they
now stand. represent an outlay
of half million dollars. This

Finley at once sent for John Byrne. the
representative of the Santa Fe, and
rather than have war of rates, he
agreed to withdraw the unauthorized

the Rock Island road, the chairman
thought it unnecessary to give the case

however, of the Santa te's action Chair

New Ocean Flyer.

New YORK, May 16.-The new steam
ship of the Hamburg Packet company,
Furst Bismarck, which reached quaran-
tine at 5 o'clock this morning, has
beaten the maiden record. The vessel
was obliged to remain outside of the bar
last night, which point was reached at
at l1:2S last night. The time of the
trip, as given at the office of the com
pany, was six days, fourteen hours and
fifteen minutes from Southampton. The
difference in the run from Queenstown
to New York and that of Southampton
is six hours. so that by this calculation
the Bismarck beats not only the best
maiden record of any vessel that line
has, but also that of any. other line.
