pensc OF Chicago and other Western
Witnesses that Have
Been Summoned.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 9.-An investigation
into railway management will be com
menced by the grand jury on Monday next
This promises to be the most far-reaching
and thorough inquiry into the affairs of the
big railroad companies that has ever been
undertaken by the Interstate Commerce
commission and 1t is said the present in
auiry is to be begun after n diligent survey
of the situation by the commissioners and
Attorney General Olney.
Some of those on whom subp@nas have
been served, are: G.. b. Blanchard, chair
man Central Traffic association; +. &.
Donald, vice chairman of the Western
Traffic association; b. w. Caldwell, chair
man Western Passenger association; w. f.
White, western traffic agent of the Atch
ison; c. S. Crane, assistant passenger agent

about the eastern, western and southwest
ern lines. New York was said to be profit

points. Rates between these two points
favor eastward traffic, and 1t is charged that
some of the passenger agents are selling
blocks of return tickets good from Chicago
east to brokers here. immigration business
will also be q subject of inquiry and the
rates fixed by the various fast freight lines.

Cutting FreIght Rates.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 9.-The Great
Northern today entered the lists and cut a big
slice off Pacific coast freight rates from the
Twin Cities, Mississippi river common
points and Chicago ana Milwaukee common
points. The reduction as first announced
was to be of effect only in classification
rates, but the Great Northern people today
said that they had instructed their agents
to use the new classification rates as the basis
for corresponding reduction to the same
points on commodities. The commodity tariff,
based on the reduction, has not been issued,
but is in preparation ana will be pushed
soon. The reduction is sweeping in many
respects. The iirst-class rate from ST. Paul
and Minneapolis to Seattle is reduced from
So per 100 to 50 0S and the fourth class from
81 80 to 81 40. 70 Spokane the first-class
rate is cut from SLIGO to Sl.4O and the fourth
class from 81 50 to SLAB, The iirst-class rate
to Helena and Butte City Mont, was 81. 30
1t is now reduced to 81, G5 and the fourth
class from 81 40 to 81. 80. The other reduc-
tions are in the same proportion.
The wholesale reduction is Justified by the
Great Northern officials on the gorvnd that
it has been made necessary to protect their
interests from the competition of rail and
water rates from eastern points which have
resulted in the war of rates between the
Canadian and Southern Pacific routes. 1t is
believed the Northern Pacific and Omaha
roads will follow suit soon.

A queer case of horse stealing has just
been reported to the police. On Wednesday,
while the firemen were making run, the
two large, fine sorrel horses at No. engine
house disappeared. One was tied to stake
eating grass at Thirty-hrst and II streets
and the other was loose and grazing in the
same locality,
This team was given to the city by Mr., Cud-
ahy, the packer with the proyiso that the
animals SHOULD be used for no other purpose
than as fire horses. For this work il seems the
horses were no good, and although they were
kept at the engine house they were not used.
and the animals have not been located, The
horses are beauties and would be easily de
teoted If they We're seen in this locality.

EXCURSIONS TO THE FAIR.
They WIN Not Start from the West Bcfor,
August 1.

August I.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 9.-There will be no
Worlds fair excursion trains from the west
before August /. Whether there will be any
after that time depends on circums tances.
This applies only to the lines in the Western
Passenger association. The Atchison and
Alton may run excursion trains before that
time. The matter of cheap excursions to
the fair was tho only thing considered at
the association meeting today. 1t was
agreed that no cheap excursion trains
should be run before July % and that
if no agreement was reached at q meeting
of the association to be called at that time
the roads would be free to take individual
action IN the matter, provided any road
wishing TO run cheap excursion trains shall
give five days notice to all competing lines.
No notice of such an excursion can be given
before July %, and that means August be-
fore the first excursion can run from the
west to the fair, unless it comes over the
Atchison or Alton. These two roads
have been awaiting the action of the
association and are not prepared to say at
once just what they will do. The result of
the conference over cheap excursions is not
exactly what is expected, though it Is a de-
cided movement for the better, considered
from railway standpoint. 1t has disposed of
the last obstacle in the way of the
| adoption of the revised agreement of
the Western Passenger association and
prevented general decentralization of
| business throughout the west. 1t
| was far more peaceful outcome of the long
| and protracted meetings which the associa-
tion has held. of late than was expected.
| Tie agreement as it now stands will give
| the roads ample opportunity to learn whether
| people of the west desire TO travel on regular
| trains or on cheap excursion trains which
| consist of coaches alone. The association
! agreement was adopted, to become effective
June l5 provided the lines absent from
today's meeting agree. These lines were

Have the Bodies All Out.

The laborers did not cease their efforts
until ABOUT Z o'clock. by this time
they had reached the bottom of the eNcaya-
tion in the basement and further search
seemed useless as the debris in all
parts of the building had been entirely
cleared away. Some held that two laborers
who were at work in the basement at the
time Of the accident were still missing, but
as the search had been so thorough, nothing
to warrant its continuance could be shown.
But one body that of DR.. Nelson, was found
during the last seven hours of the search,
and those in charge of the work think II i'm
possible that more remain in the ruins The
work was therefore stopped, the streets
roped close to the building and police
guard stationed there for the night.

ferers are on foot. At a meeting Of citizens
this afternoon $500 was subscribed.
