THE NORTHERN PACIFIC BACKS DOWN.
CHICAGO. Aug. 25-The Northern
Pacific has backed down from the posi-
tion it has maintained since the begin
ming OF the year against the Canadian
Pacific ditferentials from trunk line ter
ritory to Pacific coast points. The Can
adisn Pacific was allowed originally q
seven dollar difTerential on first class
and IS on second class, the understand
ing being that the differentals were to
apply only to business cent from Vic
toria down by water. The 500 line i'm
mediatey claimed or the strength of the
allowance made the Canadian Pacific
differential of $3.50 from both the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern. They at once cut their st. Paul
rates $3.50 to correspond with the tariff
issued by the 500 line, and the argu-
ment has been hot every since, rates be-
ing kept in state of constant demoral-
iztion. The Northern Pacific has now
abandoned its position, not because it
believes its position unjust, but because
1t loses more money in keeping its own
rates down than it will lose by allow
ing the differentials to remain in effect.
