heated discussion arose as TO the send
ing up of the assessment roll for the

ment will cost S21, ,2S2 80, of which sum

finances would not warrant the I'M

PEACE IN PROSPECT.
Chicago-Ohio River Cut Rates
May Be Stopped.


May Be Stopped.
CHICAGO. May 2.-EfortS are being
made at last to bring about meeting
of the general managers of the roads in
the Chicago & Ohio River Traffic asso-
citation, for the purpose of putting a
stop to the decentralization in passenger
rates. 1t is said to be quite probable
that an early meeting will be arranged,
and that it will result in full reStora-
tion of rates as we'll as the adoption of
a new association agreement.
The warning companies have had
their eyes opened to the necessity of ad-
juSting their differences by a notice
served on them by General Passenger
Agent Shattuck, of the Ohio q Missis-
Sippi, who declares his intention of
making the same reduction per mile in
his rates between Cincinnati and st.
Louis as have been made between Gin
cinnati and Chicago. This will not ma
terially affect the Monon, but it will be
a severe blow to the Pennsylvania and
Big Four, as it will cause reduction of
81 or S. in the through rates between
st. Louis and New York. In that case
there will be no limit to the spread of
the war. and the interested lines recog
Dize the danger Of longer postponing a
peace council.

MOUNTAINS SHAKEN DOWN.
Great Volcanic Disturbances in
Southern California.

If the reports are true which are
brought to San Diego by the mining
prospectors who have just returned to
that city from the Colorado desert and
New River basin country, the recent
earthquake shocks which so much
alarmed the people of that region can
be accounted for. says the Philadel phia
Telegraph. 1t has all the time been be-
lieved that the severeSt shocks were eX-
perienced in the country southeast from
San Diego, and the reports which have
come in almost daily from the mount
aims confirm this suppositiOn.
The prOSpectorS tell weird tale of
blazing volcano, clouds of mist and
ashes seen far off to the south. pre-
sumably in the mysterious Cocopah
country. They claim to have been
camped on the edge of the desert, just
beyond the Laguna mountains, on a
high plateau, from which they had a
range of view east and south of seventy
five miles. The earthquake. which oc-
Cured there at the same time that it
was felt at San Diego, was SO severe
that they were greatly alarmed. and
expected that the earth would open.
They looked on toward the CocOpah
country for signs of volcano, whose
existence they suspected, but could see
nothing. The next day the tremors
were frequent and severe, and toward
night they say murky cloud accumu-
lating over what, as near as they could
guess, were the Cocopah mountains. A
few hours after dark flames were plain
ly seen shooting upward, and before
midnight the heavens were brightly
Illuminated.
"As near as we could judge" said
one of the party, "the fire was forty
miles away, in southeasterly direction,
below the line and near the Colorado
river, where the most mysterious part
of the Cocopah mountains are, and
where mud volcanoes have been report
ed to exist. Ii we had had sufficient
provisions we would have attempted a
trip down that way; but it is dangerous
to undertake such a journey without
ample supplies, though at this season
there is plenty of water. The second
day after the first severe shocks smoke
still hung over the country to the south
east, but the flames had subsidized"
Coming back through the mountains
the prOspectors noticed evidences of the
earthquake in dislodged rocks which
had rolled down from the mountain
sides. In reference to the latter effects
of the earth conyulsiOnS Archibald
Campbell, who was an eyewitness to
them, writes from Campo, on the edge
of the Colorado desert. as follows: Ev-
erything near this locality shook, and
dull, continuous roar like the ocean
surf, but louder and more regular, was
heard, and both mountains = the
one northeast and the other south
east from here-sent part of their
rocky tons down. These mountains are
over 1000 feet high. The rocks sent
down must have weighed hundreds of
tons. One mountain in the southwest.
about mile off, sent halfit peaked top
down halfway till it met another peak
to stop it. What it sent down made
| fiat face down its side over 1,5O0 feet
| long and quarter of mile wide. 1t
must have weighed thousands of tons,
as some of the rocks were bigger than a
| block of street,"

Duluth Wheat.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, May 3.-The wheat market here
was LITTLE stronger this morning, and the
July future advanced some over Yesterday.
May opened unchanged, but after some fiuc-
tuation. strengthened somewhat in the fore
noon. Reported better demand from abroad
was the cause of the early strength of the
home market, but the chief cause of the ad-
vance was the estimate that $500 0O0 acres of
land in the two Dakotas are still unseeded.
This represents 50.000.000 bu of wheat. Re-
ported delay in seeding in Northwestern Min
neso;a on account of rain, also had a bullish
effect. Trading was dull, however. July be-
ing the most active. Over 100000 bu of
May wheat has been delivered So far-a good
and sufficient answer to those who favor the
Hatch bill on the ground that dealing in fut-
lures is dealing in wind. These deliveries
were actual. The wheat is here, and was
handed over The close today was dull, but
steady, at an advance of l2c all round over

New York.

NEW YORK. May notwithstanding the
opening of the London market this morning,
the expected buying by the foreigners did
not appear here, and general apathy marked
the trading i'll stocks. and fewer futures were
seen than usual. even i'll midsummer. Rates
of sterling exchange were reduced by all
drawers today, and the expectation that an
other large shipment of gold would be made
late this week does not seem likely to be full
filled. In the market today even the most
active stocks moved within the harrOWeSt
limits, and again the industrials monopolized
the greater part of the speculative attention.
There was comparatively heavy trading in
Reading still. but its movement was very cir
cumscribed and no interest attached to them.
A scarcity of New England was developed in
the loan crowd, and the limited buying of
that stock was evidently for the short ac
count, which resulted in a rise of 75 per cent
before the demand eliminated. A drive was
made at Northern Pacific common, with the
effect of knocking its price down about 1ss
per cent on the light sales but the raid was
believed to be for the purpose of shaking out
preferred stock. which, however, tailed.
The pressure was transferred to New Eng
land late in the day and more substantial
results attended this effort for the stock
after selling as high as 395Sc in the early
dealings retired TO 37sSc in the late trading.
The Sugar Trust people, however put sup
porting orders in their stocks to neutraliZe
the possible effects of legal and legislative
movements which are being made against
the bears q chance to raid other stocks of
which they availed themselves.
There was more transactions in the Texas
Pacific securities at advancing prices, under
buying because of the impression that the
meeting OF the stockholders in June will re-
suit in the defeat of the anti-railroad party.
The Edison Trust shares were again specially
active and strong, and scored gain of about
1l2 per cent, but the rest of the market was
without feature or interest, and the close was
dull and barely steady after the raids with
prices in most stocks at only slight changes
from those of the opening.
The Post says: With each successive week
the stock market seems to grow narrower.
A fortnight ago operators with large re-
sources were active in all important stocks
on the list A week ago the leaders were
still busy in q few interesting quarters. To-
day almost the floor business of the ex-
change was carried on by the smal-room
traders known as "scalpers," 10 whom a rise
of 4 per cent is good luck and change of
half point triumph. The market offers
great inducements just now to those aero
bats, provided they stay on the floor all the
time and are ready to change their position
in a second, for within its narrow radius and
ups ana downs of the list are frequent. An
outside speculator would, of course, be no.
where.

LANSING. Mich, May 3.-The state
railway board gave hearing today to
w. c. Goudy. general counsel for the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway COM
pany. upon the question of taxation
under the new law. The company filed
a supplemental report with the COM
missioner of railroads, including in their
earnings the statement of their entire
mileage, instead of that of the main
line, as under the old law, thereby re-
ducing the amount of taxes to be paid
by the state. The company claimed the
new law to be unconstitutional. The
board held that the road must be
assessed and pay taxes upon the same
basis as heretofore,
