Not long ago two young girls were
travelling ''out west" As the train
stopped at a station two ladies entered
and took seats directly in front of
them. Just as they were seated a
stout lady came forward, greeted them
effu5ively, and the trio kept up a live
ly conversation until the train started.
Then one of them said, Sit down here
near us" and. in a little lower tone,
Tell those girls to sit somewhere

said in the most freezing of tones: Il

some similar misfortunes. Napoleon

Massena, duke of Rivoi and prince Of

a greater courtier than general, and
immediately declared that the shot

CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-At the ma meet.
ing of general passenger agents today
the discussion of worlds fair rates and
arrangements occupied the entire SEES
sion. James Charlton, of the Chi
cago 81 Alton, expressed himself IN favor
of sufficient reduction in rates to in
duce the people to come to Chicago, and
at the same time give the roads fair
return for the large expenditures they
have made and are making IN getting
ready for the handling of the business.
He did not think, however, that
excursion tickets should be honored
on the limited and fast trains.
He advocated 20 per cent reduction
tor the established rate and a 30 per
cent reduction for special excursions.
T. S. Eustis, OF the Burlington. said the
number of people who were ready to
offer a bonus to ride OIL the express
trains would be so great that it would
be folly to talk about reducing first
class rates. George IL. Heatford, of the
st. Paul, was in favor Of making no re-
auctions on one-way tickets coming into
Chicago, but to give liberal discounts on
return tickets. thus

that SO far as his line was concerned, he
was in favor of grading the reduction
according to the distance, making rate
of one fare for the round trip from the
Pacific coast. but making a less dis
count from points nearer Chicago. Adj
dresses were made by Q. IL. Scull, OF
the Baltimore IL Ohio: f. A. Ford. of
the Pennsylvania; ID. j. Roberts, Of the
Erie; A. Ii. Hanson, of the Illinois Cen
trial; c. p. Atmore, of the Louisville u
Nashville; j. Il. Watson, of the Fitch
burg, and many others.
The sentiment of the meeting was
very largely in favor of maintaining the
standard rates for express trains, but OF
making liberal reductions for eXcur-
sion trains. Some advocated One-Way
tickets, while others argued that round
trip tickets would be necessary To en-
able the terminal roads to handle the
business. w. E. Davis. or the Grand
Trunk, said that his company'S plan is
to charge full rates and pay the buyer

journey. The speechmaking continued
all day, and when the meeting adj

A Benefit to Deylin.

1t will be remembered that Barney
Devlin, the athlete, met with street
car accident some time ago by which he
lost a leg. He attempted to board car
n the middle OF the block, and hence
the street car company is not held liable
by the courts. Had 1t occurred at a
crossing the result would have been
different. The accident has distressed
Devlin, and his friends will tender him
a benefit at the Olympic Friday night.
1t will be carnival of sport and
the best opponents of the Delsarte and
the best Wrestlers of the Northwest

of the United States against Thomas
Miller, agent of the Chicago. Burlington
& Quincy, began today. The specific
unlawful acts charged are that during
the summer of 1890 the defendant gave
to A. n. Warren q Co. and Wright d.
Hoy. Nebraska shippers, certain rates
per 100 pounds for the transportation of
corn from Addison, Ashland, Red Gloud
and other points TO Chicago. which
rates were lower than the published
tariff rate on file with the interstate
commerce commission at Washington.
The defense waived an address to the
jury and the examination of witnesses
was at once begun, the first witness be-
ing Thomas A Wright, of the firm of
Wright Il Hoy, Chicago. The expected
big snag was ell countered almost at the
outset. At the first vital question the
defense suggested that the court ad-
monish him as to his constitutional
rights. and Judge Bum said:

A GIANT WRESTLER.
King, the Five-styie Champion,
Arrives in the
City.
Much Interest in the Match Be-
tween Him and
Moth.

Jack King, the worlds champion at
with his trainer. Gus Brown, last even
ing from Butte City, ten hours late. The
frightful rains have washed out the
tracks. and all trains on both the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern are run
ming off time.
King is magnificent specimen, and
he makes all excellent impression upon
everybody he meets. 1t is seldom that
a celebrated athlete is gentleman
with the finer instincts. But King en-
joys this distinction with. for instance,
Gentleman Jim CorDett. Were it not
for his admirable physique, no one
would suspect that he is Jack King, the
worlds famous wrestler. He is modest
and retiring. and only talks of his won
derful achievements when questioned.
Then he tells his story without display
or ostentation.
He came to the city an entire stranger
and took quarters as the Astoria, and
he Will today begin his training for his
Gr8co- Roman match with Charley
Moth, that is TO occur at the Olympic a
week from Friday evening. He has
Just had battle with Mcmillan, the
Caledonlan giant, and he has added new
laurelS to his wreath of victories. In
deed, since he started on his tour about
a year ago. in which he has appeared in
all the bigger Western cities. including
San Francisco, he has not been visited
with defeat. He says he recognizes
in Moth the worlds champion at Greco
Roman style. but he has ambition and
doesn't care to meet the lesser lights.
Il have vanquished 'em all at mixed
STYLES, and now | want to show the
country what can do at plain CIR 8co-
Roman" he said to GLOBE reporter.
''If | win this. and l honestly believe
/ will, I'll then tackle any heavyweight
in the world"
King is somewhat heavier than Moth.
He expects to wrestle at from 210 to 215
pounds, but his trainer, little Gus Brown,
who accompanies him, thinks he will
train down to the lesser weight.
ST. Paul has seen many good wrestling
matches, but the devotees and lovers of
vigorous sports and athletics have never
had an opportunity to witness anything
like the battle that will be waged Dec.
at the Olympic.
Gus Brown, too, is an athlete above
the common lot. He has appeared in
the squared circle, as the readers of the
GLOBE will recall, with the most scien-
tific featherweights in San Francisco,
before all the clubs there, and he has
established an enviable reputation. He
is a catch-aS-catc wrestler, too,
and he challenges any 1913 pound man in
the Northwest to meet him. 1t is prob
able that match will be arranged in
the near future between him and Jimmy
Murphy, of Minneapolis.

Strong Probabilities of an Inter

Strong Probabilities of an Inter-
national Yacht Contest.
NEW YORK, Nov. %. Correspondence
made public this afternoon between
Lord Dunraven and the New York
Yacht club shows that the former is
willing to make concessions from his
previous demands, and that the New
York Yacht club is willing to make
some notifications i'll its previous
terms, so that the prospects are now
very favorable for an international
yacht race.
From a high source in the New York
Yacht club it was learned today that
DuDrayen has written letter privately
to friend in this city in which he has
expressed himself as being willing to
accept the conditions which the New
York Yacht club holds out, and that
theletter published before is only an at
tempt to obtain as many concessions as
possible.
There seems now TO be no doubt but
that the race will be sailed during the
summer Of 1893. This is the conviction
of the committee of the New York
Yacht club who have in hand the mat
ter Of recommending the acceptance of
such challenge as Dunraven wishes to
send, and already speculation has been
begun as to whether new boat will
have to be built or not. But this de
ponds on what Lord Dunraven will do.
No difficulty will be experienced to OBJ
tain builders enough if necessary. The
recommendation will be immediately
made by the committee of FIVE to the
New York Yacht club that the chal-
lenge be accepted when it is received.
A special meeting of the club will have
to be held.

GRAIN BLOCKADE.
The Situation as Bad as 1t Was
Three Weeks Ago.

SIOUX CITY, To-. Nov. 22.-Reports
from grain shippers in North Dakota
indicate that the car famine, which was
thought to have ended three weeks ago,
is again making its appearance and bids
fair to surpass that of recent date. All
the elevators and grain houses are
stated to be crowded to the fullest
capacity, and thousands of bushels of
wheat are loaded i'll wagons for lack of
better place of storage. Railroad Off
Gals say it is impossible to provide cars
as fast as wanted. On the Chicago q,
Northwestern over 500 cars have been
distributed in the last few days on one
division, and the movement makes little
relief.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-The census
Office today issued bulletin giving
statistics Of the railway mileage of the
world in 1890. 1t shows that out OF a
total railway mileage for the world of
37O,2S1 miles the United States have

the United States exceeds by 4, 1913 miles
the entire mileage of the old world,
Europe'S 1856 miles, Asia'S 1898
miles and Afrca's 1892 miles making
an aggregate of but 1860 miles.
It's interesting to note the astoniSh-
ing growth of the railway mileage of
the United States from the census year
of 1880. when there were less than forty
miles of railways, uD to 1899. In 1910
the figures were 2,755 miles; in 1850
they had risen to 8,57l miles; in 1850 tile
total had Swelled to 2S.9l9 miles; the
census of 1870 showed the mileage to be
40. 1856 miles, that of 1880 placed the
