UNION PACIFIC
Strikes Out Independent OF the
Southern Pacific and Western
PASSENGER Association.


CHICAGO. April 23.-The Union Pa
ciic has made arrangements to handle
its emigrant traffic over its own line to
Portland and thence by steamer to San
Francisco at the same rate as quoted by
other lines from the Missouri river.
This move indicates that it has practi
cally no hope that the Southern Pacific
will espouse its cause in the fight with
the Western Passenger association. 1t
has requested thestrunk lines to ticket
business to Omaha. where it will take it
up and carry il Oh to Portland. The
Southern Pacific today notified the
Western Passenger association lines
that it would participate in the SIC II
rate from the Missouri to Ogden, and
also requested the trunk lines to issue
no tickets at that rate. The Western
lines informed the Southern Pacific, as
they had already informed it several
times, that the Southern Pacific was not
expected to PAL ticipate in the cut rates,
it being the intention OF the association
lines to stand the entire reduction and
allow the Southern Pacific to receive
the same percentages as before the re-
duced rates were put i'll. The situation
is daily growing more complicated, and
the opinion is general that the fight will
extend to first class passenger rates
before peace comes back again.

statue was erected in accordance with
the provisions of the will of Samuel
Johnston, who left $4,000 for that pur-

the poet sitting and holding a small
book in his right hand. The sculptor
arranged his work with reference to lis
resting place in the park. A suggestion
of ease is apparent in it, and Mr..
Partridge had the happy thought of
placing the poet as though musing in
his garden. The roughened ground
under his feet suggests patch of green
turf. His right hand is thrown care
Iessly over the back of his chair.
There was no parade and no elaborate
programme. There were few words

PARIS, April 23.-The English colony
in Paris is excited over the action of
the government III forcing Sir Edward
Blount, who for thirty years had been
chairman of the West railway, to re-
sign. The ground taken by the gov
ernment was that Chairman Blount. by
virtue of his position at the head of the
great ralIw ay. had access to the plans
of the government in the matter of
modifying troops. The government
did not believe that foreigner should
hold a position in France enabling him
to become possessed of such informa-
ton, and took steps to compel his re-
moval. Premier Casimir-Perier threat
ened that unless Mr.. BlOunt retired the
government would Introduce Ill the

Wheat was comparatively dull all day.
Opening sc off, it recovered to Satur.

weakness was due to variety of causes.
