THE chgADihN PACIFIC rs AFTER
ScALPS.
WESTERN DEEP-CUF RATES.

Canadian Pacific Makes Rates to
the Coast in Retaliation for
Action of the Southern Pacific
Western Passenger Associa-
tion Makes Liberal Rates for
Events and the Holidays.
Yesterday General Passenger Agent
Hibbard, of the Canadian Pacific, issued
an Official circular which ought to put a
ouietus on the reports of the ridiculouSly
low rates to San Francisco and Victoria
that have floated about for several days.
The circular notifies all competing roads
of the corrected rates to San Francisco,
which are for, basing purposes. sub
mtted to the various lines: Round
trip, S65.5J; frst-class, $50; second-claSs.
S23. These rates apply via Vancouver
and down the coast by steamer TO San
Francisco. The first-clasS rate is Sll
under and the second-class s. under the
rates named by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific.
As has already been hintcd by this
paper on several occasions. the promul-
CATION of the Canadian Pacific rates is
in the nature of retaliatOry tactics
directed against the Southern Pacific.
In his circular Mr.. Hibhard says:
"Inasmuch as the Southern Pacific
declines TO honor our tickets via Shasta
route into San Francisco, they &C. T. K.
R.) feel it necessary to offer above rates
for basing rates via their line and steaIn-
er: first-claSS and round-trip tickets TO
iDnludp lprfb and mnalS OD hOat -
AS the established rate via North Pa
citic coast lines for the round trip is
S65.50, it costs nc more to go to San
Francisco. 1t will be seen that the new
rates do not interfere with the straight
one-Way rates TO Portland of S25 and
SIS, respectively. Competing elines
still present an unbroken front at the
Canadian PacIfc's lowered rates, and
feel little fear of any serious cut into
their traffic by reason thereof. So far
they have ignored the matter, not at
tempting TO meet them. What the Chi
cago lines may decide in the matter of
using the Canadian Pacific's rates for
baslng purposes may cut some figure,
and the competing transcontinental
lines Will wait for their ultimatum be-
fore acting. it is understood The
Chicago lines will not be likely to do as
suggested. Barring the Wisconsin
Central, the several roads between ST.
Paul and Chicago trend directly to
points OH the Missouri river. and over
them the traveller can reach his deatina-
lion all the way by rail. Should the
Wisconsin Central decide to lay for
share of this traffic it would necessarily
SO notify the Western Passenger aSsoci-
alton, and its example would perhaps
DE followed by the other roads.

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-ln the reichstag
today the bills to ratify treaties of COM
merce with Spain, Roumania and Ser
via were read for the first time.
Count Limburgstrrum seized upon
the occasion to open the agrarian and
Conservatives campaign against the
proposed treaty with Russia. The
count vigorously opposed the treaty pol
icy of the government and declared
that the party would agree to no treaty
which would impose fresh burdens
upon huSbandry without compensation:
Baron Biebersteln, secretary of state
for foreign affairs, combatted Count
Limburgstrrum'S attacks, and declared
that he had failed to adduce evidence in
their support, and that lie had brought
no arguments to alter the governments

were beneficial, and that the reichStag

happened abroad, made complete mis-
take. He himself was bound to declare
that the present situation was not of

bent on Germany 10 watch closely the

Herr Lieber opposed the governments

discussion were sequel to the treaties
previously approved. The latter. Herr
Lieber said, were great achievements of
a new era, but the government could
not be deaf to the protests of the Ger

now proposed.
Herr KanitZ insisted that the new
treaties would make the home market
worse than ever. The government
would do better to negotiate with Aus

ton with the country.
