part of South Dakota. North Dakota
begins its wheat harvest in about week
OF ten days, and all the farmers are espec-
ia!ly anxious. 1t has been estimated that
from 200 to 400 laborers are needed IN each
county in South Dakota east or the MIS-
souri river. This means about ten thou
sand laborers Southern Minnesota need
help in the harvest fields also, and North
Dakota will begin harvesting in about
two or three weeks. Altogether, conserya-
tive estimates are that forty thousand
laborers are needed within the next month
in order TO harvest the immense grain
crop in the north west. In order 10 induce
laborers to come TO the relief of the wheat

THE RAILWAYS.
The Santa Fe's Competitors Authorized to
Meet the Denver Rate.

CHICAGO, July 2S,-In response to the
application of the Atchison's competitors,
Chairman Caldwell today authorized
them to make Sl2 rate to Denver and re-
turn on account of the Knights Templars'
conclave. under the following regulations:
The dates for the sale OF tickets are to be
August 3 to and the final limit Of the
tickets is to be October l. Authority was
also given by the chairman to sell one
way tickets at the Sl2 rate TO Denver and
all intermediate points on the dates named
for the sale of round trip tickets. These
rates and the regulations are TO be ten
dered connecting roads for basing pur-
poses.
Concerning Missouri river rates, the
chairman reserved his decision until to-
morrow OF course he will refuse TO
autboriZe the IS rate to Kansas City and
return, rs well as the one way rate OF Sc,
because these rates have already been
adopted by the association.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-The Herald says
that there is great alarm among the trans
continental railroads. They are not get
ting any Of the lower class of heavy freight,
except what has to be delivered within a
limited period. The steamship companies
engaged iu the New York and San Fran
cisco trade are having war of rates that
has taken the breath away from the
railroads, and probably their business
will be demOrallZed Tor year TO come.
The transcontinental railroad have to
nav the trunk lines so cents per leo pounds
as their share of the haul from New York
to San Francisco. The trunk lines will
not take q cent less. Besides, the western
roads must have an allowance for the haul
to the Missouri river. The transcontiuental
roads have thrown mp their hands on all
staple articles which do not need to be
delivered for several months. Not even
the Southern Pacific, with the Morgan
! line to New Orleans, can make any show
against the 80, cent rate of the through
| steamship lines. To do so would be to
! drag down the local rates from New York
! TO Texas, and the loss wouid be still
/ greater.

THE MICHIGAN GERRYMANDER.

LANSING, Mich, July 2S-The supreme
court bss handed down opinions declaring
unconstitutional the two acts of the last
legislature reapportioning the representa-
tive and senatorial districts in this state.
The title OF the case involving the sena-
torial gerrymander was Theron +. Gid-
ding VS.. the secretary of state, and that
involving the representative redistrlctlng
was 1.-The Supervisors of Houghton county
vs. the Secretary of State" The mandamus
asked for is granted in each case, and the
secretary of state is ordered to issue
notices of election in accordance with the
redistricting act of 1S8l-the act of 1888 be-
ing held to be equally defective with that
of 1891 The court is unanimous on Dotn
acts. The decision in the senatorial case
was written by Justice Grant, Chief JUS
tice Morse and Justice McGrath filing
opinions in which the same conclusion IS
reached through different course of ar
gument. The decision in the representa-
tive case was written by Justice Long, the
chief justice filing separate opinion. The
acts are held to be unconstitutional be-
cause of the inequality of the apportion-
ment.
The secretary of state is instructed to
follow the new redistricting scheme which
may be enacted, should the governor call
a special session of the legislature for that
purpose.
