THREATENED RATE WAR.

Material Reduction In Western Rail-
road Fares Confidently Expected.
CHICAGO, June l4-TLe lines in the
Western Passenger association are I'M
easy on account of the threatened re-
duction of rates from the West by the
Great Northern. They induced the lat
ter read to wi hold its reduction for a
few days, the original date for their
establishment being last Saturday.
They were in hopes that the Great
Northern would consent to further de-
lay, and several kilograms passed be-
tween Chicago and St. Paul yesterday
inviting the ST. Paul liues to be present
at a meeting of the Western Passenger
association, then aud there to see if
some way cut OF the threatened reduc-
tion could not b.. found. The informa-
ton that the Great Northern had
already declared $50 rate from Seattle
to St. Paul was very unpleasant new;
and it knocked the wind out of the pro-
ceetlings in the interest of harmony
Quicker Than Lightning.
In the face of this rate it is difficult
to see how rates from the Northwest
can be kept from suffering material re-
ductions. 1t is believed that the North
ern Pacific will meet the cut by bring
ing down its through rate to Chicago.
This will involve the Wisconsin Cen
trail. a member of the passenger asso-
citation. and necessarily the Great
Western rs we'll. The Wisconsin Cen
trail has already accepted the revised
passenger association agreement, and,
if it should now cut in on rates, there
would be no end of trouble for the asso-
citation. The revised agreement is now
within one of being adopted, the Min
neapolis and st. Louis being the only
line out.

Ballard Votes Against Them Over
whelmingiy-Prevail Objections.
AS was predicted by the PosT-ISTELLr-
GENCER yesterday, the proposal to bond
the city of Ballard for $7l,OJ0 for the es-
adjustment of the Wagner steam we'll
water system was overwhelmingly de-
feated on Friday. OF the 2J5 registered
votes in the city, 1s9 were cast and 153
were sgainst the bonds and SO in favor of
the bonds.
The opponents Of the bonds contended
that there was no immediate necessity for
the proposed system. except for purposes
of fire protection, and that if it were IN
troduced the receipts would not for sew
eral years pay the operating expenses or
interest on the bonds. Undoubtedly an
abundance of water could be OBJ
tanned by the Wagner system, but
it IS claimed it would probably be so
strongly impregnated with minerals that
the mills could not use it. This theory is
partly confirmed by an experiment OF the
Stimson Mill Company, which sank an
artesian well, but found the water SO min
eraiized as to be unfit for use in the
boilers. 1t had taste of sulphur also,
and was not suitable for domestic pur-
poses.
An objection against the Wagner sys-
tenn for tire protection is also urged by
some. who claim that in few years Bal
lard may likely become part of the city
of Seattle. when pipes could be laid from
Queen Anne hill, which would give all
the pressure needed for fire protection at
much less cost than the proposed sys-
tenn. In the meantime a chemical en-
CINE would afford ample protection for
that part of the city beyond the reach of
the present salt water system on Ballard
avenue.

W. Martin, OF Tacoma, on "Tke Secret
of Right Living" and Rev. William Mitchell,
of Puyaliup, on "Ihe Tendency to
Liberal Thought Among the Evangelical De-
nominations" Each address was followed by
brief discussion. An hour was given to Sunday
school WORK and methods under the leadership
OF Rev. Mr.. Wilbur, OF Portland, the superin.
tendent OF a very large and fourishing Sunday
school in that city. The most popularity at
traetive occasion was the platform meeting of
Thursday evening, at which President Shipper
marshaled large array OF laymen and ministers
for brief addresses on "Our Mission and How to
Promote Its Fulfllment" These flashes of elo-
quenee aud sparkling wit were followed by
general reception with refreshments and vocal
and instrumental music.
The formal action o; the conference consisted
of resolutions of coincidence on the decease OF
Rev. Phillips Brooks, D. D., bishop OF Massa-
chusetts, and OF disspproval of further extension
