Action OF tho Road Leading to Reprlsal
by Competing Lines.
CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-The general passen-
ger agent of one of the strongest railway
lines said today that decentralization In
eastbound rates from San Francisco would
be kept up just SO long as the Santa Fe
continues its course of rate cutting in the
western passenger Missouri associ-
alton territory. In other words. certain
roads that were forced into carrying a
large amount of contract business to
Denver and back during the Knights
Templar conclave at the Santa Fe's $12
rate are now getting whatever revenge
they can by taking away from that line
all the Pacific coast travel which, during
the autumn. months, is generally very
heavy. The scheme is worked through
brokers and the payment of excessive
commissions to agents. The Santa Fe
people say that if this is one of their
competitors, they are ready to meet it.
One of the officials of the road said:
Nothing would suit us better than to give the
Coast region n taste of our rate reforms. OF
course, we are not much in the San Francisco
line and don't pretend to be, but the other
fellows are beginning now to crawl down into
Southern California with their demoralizing
rates and We win serve notice on them that il
they continue that sort OF thing very long. they
will find we nre interested there. meeting to
be held in this city on Monday will have the
subject under consideration. and may take such
steps a. are deemed advisable to regulate mat
tiers.
The Southern Pacific road failed in its
efforts before the commissioners to obtain
authority for reduction of so per cent. in
the rate on wine, canned goods. borax and
beans from San Francisco to New York,
Chicago, st. Louis and New Orleans. The
commissioners handed down their de-
cision yesterday.

QUARANTINE LINE LAID DOWN.
Choiera Regulations Carried Out-Dead
Animals Cause q Deadlock.


Cholera Regulations Carried Out-Dead
Animals Cause q Deadlock.
At special meeting of the board OF
health Friday evening the presidents
proclamation was discussed and steps
taken to carry out it's provisions.
Aguarantine line was established, which
runs from point midway between the
entrance shores of Salmon bay southwest
to point midway in the Sound, directly
west of Alki point. This quarantine is
now in force, and applies only to foreign
vessels from foreign ports. Yesterday the
city engineer was given notice of the
quarantine line and will make draft of
the imaginary boundaries. The health
officer was instructed to send a COM
munication TO the council in ref
erence to quarantine station. AS
things are now, the department
has no means TO take care of single case
Of cholera.
The old trouble with the auditing CON-
mittee of council about bills for removing
dead animals was revived by complaints
Of the non-removal of dead animals. The
health board finds itself in a peculiar and
not pleasant situation. At different times
different persons have been employed to
remove the bodies of animals and when
their bills came to the council auditing
committee they have been thrown out.
Now the health officer cannot get man
to touch dead horse. hog or COW because
former bills for such work remain unpaid.
Every few days complaints are made to
the department and the officer is helpless.
Them when the board meets the people
who complained to the health officer and
received no satisfaction complain to the
board of the neglect Of the officer. A care
full estimate of the departments dead
animal bills for the last six months is $73.

A Correction.

1t is supposed by great many that the
Seattle Trust Company builds houses only
for those who do not wish to pay all cash
for them. This is very erroneous i'm
preston. AS a matter of fact the amount
of building done by the company to date
for which its customers have paid cash in
full when completed is largely in excess of
that on which its customers have seen fit
to take advantage of the time offered. The
reasons for this, briefly stated, are that it
has greater facilities for buying cheaply,
and that 1t guarantees all work to be
strictly first-class in every respect, thus
saving to its customers both time and
money.

to dismiss the action. Suit was brought
to recover $4,000 for state and county
taxes levied on the franchise of the tele-
graph company for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1896 The company refused to
pay on the grounds that it was not organ

derived no franchise from it. The COM

means employed by the government for
carrying into effect its sovereign powers;
