CHICAGO, April 26-The first blow in
what may be long and bitter warfare in
Western passenger rates was struck today

Fe and other Southern Pacific points
in addition to its rate an
nounced from Denver and Colorado

nounced take effect over the Missouri Pa
cifc and it is understood that they will
also be taken on trains Of the Burlington

son has notified the chairman OF
the Western Passenger Association
that it will withdraw from the as
ISOLATION on May 20 and meet the
rates made by the other roads, and If the
Western Passenger Association lines east
of The Missouri river make reductions, 1T
will meet them at once. 1t further an
nounced that unless the reductions are
Withdrawn by Saturday it will make a
through rate from Colorado to Chicago on
the same basis as the Rio Grande.

Mr.. Stevens says that grading has begun
on the Nelson & Fort Sheppard road from
the boundary. and that D. c. Corbin also
contemplates building line from North
port to the Trail creek mines, fifteen miles
distant. Some San Francisco people are
interested in the mines and propose to
build 20O-ton smelter at Northport
There is also great rush into the SLOGAN
country, three boats running up the Koote-
mai river from Bonner's Ferry are crowded
to the guards every trip, about 5000 peo-
pie being at Kaslo already. The boats
have good accommodation and are lighted
by electricity. A person leaving Spokane
at p. m. on the Great Northern train
meets the steamer at B onner's Ferry,
sleeps on board and reaches kaslo at
p. m. next day.
H. A. Johnson, division freight and pas
senger agent of the Great Northern. re-
turned yesterday from the SLOGAN country
and tells much the same story of people
crowding in there and steamers coming
money, though he thinks the rush has be-
gun too early, as the mining district is
still deeply buried in snow. Travellers go
by stage from Kaslo to the edge of the
snow and then take sleighs to the summit.

Annual Report Shows . Marked I'm
prOvemeut in Profits.

BosToN. April 26-Charles F. Choate
presided over the annual meeting of tho
stockholders of the Union Pacific Railway
Company. called to order this morning in
the horticultural hall. The meeting is to
elect directors and vote upon q proposed
change of the bylaws so as to provide for
the creation of the office Of chairman of
the board of directors, the annual election
of such an officer and prescribing his pow
ers and duties. The directors ticket was
the same as that of last year. with the ex-
ception of George J. Gould and Sidney
Dillon Ripley, who were elected to fill tho
vacancies caused by the death of Jay
Gould and Sidney Dillon. After the ac-
ceptance of the annual report balloting
began and q recess was taken for two
hours.
The report was the mostl favorable the
stockholders have received for many years.
The company earned about 81 per cent
on its capital stock. which was twice the
amount of the stockholders surplus for
the previous year and compares well with
the deficit of $275, 900 in 1890. Out of
5000, 157 surplus for the year, 81 ,9S6 00O
remains in the form of actual cash, the
total cash on hand on December 81, 1897,
being 1888. 17S The reduction in ex-
penses has been quite general. The
funded debt of the system in the hands Of
the public. less current resources due from
individuals and companies outside of the
spstem, is $22o, 55S, 646, or an average per
mile of $2S.712. The cash receipts in all
the land departments were 81. 546 312. The
amount of stock held in Massachusetts
and the other New England states shows q
slight increase over year ago. New York
holdings have also somewhat increased,
while those of foreign countries have cor
respondingly diminished. But the num-
Der of stockholders has been less in all
these cases.
The directors were reelected and new
bylaws adopted by 2S7.5 votes, tho for
eign vote not appearing, as the books
abroad closed too late. The directors
then reelected officers and chose Alex
ander E. Orr. of New York, as chairman
OF the board. The directors elected
committees substantially as last year.
g. ii. Lane as added to the finance COM
mittee. Comptroller Oliver w. Mink, on
motion of Ames, WAS made second vice
president. This office has been vacant
since Lane left the company's service. Z.
4. Atkins was chosen first vice president.

FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM.
A Prominent Ohioan Dies Suddenly at
Washington Hotel.


Washington Hotel.
Mr.. Samuel Kendrick. prominent business
man of Chillicothe. Ohio. and well known in
this city. WAS found dead in his bed this morn
ing at the Hotel Lawrence.
Mr.. kendrick came on fro,n Ohio on the 18th
of December and took room at the Hotel
Lawrence. where he has made his home ever
since. When he retired last night he
seemed to be in his usual health, and
at $50 this morning when he rang
for Il pitcher of ice water ne told the bell boy
that he was feeling first rate. This morning
when the boy entered Mr.. Hendricks room TO
take his order for breakfast he received no
answer TO his knock and entered the
room. Mr. kendrick seemed to be asleep.
but as the boy passed around the bed he noticed
that there were no signs of life and il soon
discovered that the man was dead. Apparently
death had occurred not very long before.
Mr.. kendrick was "a civil engineer by profess
sion and was deeply interested in the matter
of land claims in Ohio. matter in
which he was recognized as an au-
thority. He came to Washington on bust
ness. but especially to appear before Congress
on the subject of a bill now before that body
that has reference to the Ohio land claims
He was the son Of former state surveyor
in Ohio and had in his possession records and
data that are of great value in settling up
these disputed claims. He had many
friends among prominent men in this city,
among them Chief Justice Bingham of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, who was promptly noti-
fed of his death and who will probably take
charge of the arrangements in this city.
Mr.. kendrick. who was nearly seventy
years old, left wife and three sons
who are in business in the west. A telegram
was sent this morning to the family announcing
Mr.. Hendricks death and an answer was
ceiyed this afternoon stating that arranRements

CLEVELAND NOT Debating.
He Has Expressed No Preferences I'm the

NV YORK, JAM 4.-The question has been
asked Daniel s. Lamont What foundation is
there for the published report that Mr. Cleve-
land Is interfering In the senatorial contest in
various states and end-avoriug to dictate the
election of his own friends?''
1T il time" answered Col Lamont, that
the friends Of Mr.. Cleveland took some notice
of this falsehood / can state suthoritatively
that Mr.. Cleveland has not dictated. or even
suggested, the election % any one in the states
IN which there are democratic legislatures and
where contests are being made"
Has Mr.. Cleveland expressed himself about
these reports"
HE has. have received many letters ask
ing If the reports were true. | may say that in
many OF the states Mr.. Cleveland does not
know who are candidates for Senator except
through general report. In New York Of
course, Mr.. Cleveland has stated his objections
to Mr.. Murphy, as he had a right to do, but he
has not gone beyond his own state"
Col. Lamont was asked il he would tell Mr..
Cleyelands attitude toward those who might
be looked on as having been snti-Cleveland
men. He shook his head at first and then WAS
asked as to the truth of the story afoat in
political circles to this effect: "A promi-
nent anti-Cleveand democrat from this state
called on Col Lamont and asked him about the
treatment those men who had opposed Mr..
Cleveland would receive, to which Col. Lamont
replied that he did not care to talk about that
matter. but he could say that Mr.. Cleveland
would certainly not forget the men who were in
favor of him"
That is true" said he, II said II aud il rep
resents Mr.. Cleveland's position"

Reading RaiIroad and the Trainmen'e Or
ganisatiOu. to Fight.

kant1attOus To right.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 4.-Trouble is threat
ening between the Reading railroad and those
OF Its engineers and fremen who belong to
| the brotherhood and kindred organizations.
I The patch-up of troubles last fall was
only temporary and the Heading management
Is evidently preparing for struggle ia the near
future to atone for the recent hackdowu.
Applicants by the scores being eX-
amined at the different principal main line
points and engineers certificates being
gwen out very freely to old firemen. and fire.
quently TO new ones who have been firing a
fen months. and in most the appli-
cants are told TO keep Oh at their present
minor positions and that in the early spring
they would be given engines. Enough men
have been promised engineerships TO man all
the locomotives the company OWLS.
The brotherhood men openly assert they are
aware that the company is preparing to order
them to leave their associations or the com
pany's employ, and that the battle will soon be
declared on.
Besides giving promotion certificates to its
non-union hands the Reading is said TO be en-
gineers and fremen on the in3ucement that
they can make bigger wages on the Philadelphia
and Reading.
THE REPORT DENIED BIZ TIE ROAD.
READING, Pa, Jan. 4-The Reading officials
in this city when shown the dispatch from
Pottsvile i'll reference to pending trouble, pro-
nounced the story without the slightest founda-
ton.
There is absolutely nothing in it," said
Superintendent G. d. Whitcomb. IF there was
we would know something about 1t. A few fire
men have recently been examined for promotion,
but that is not new. No fireman is allowed to
handle a locomotive unless he pass an
examination. No Pennsylvania railroad fire.

reports originate Is a mystery to me-"
