WILL REDUCE.sACREAGE.
AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
ON WHEAT RATES.
Railways Decline to Grant a Cut
and Farmers Resolve to Raise
Less Wheat.

FARGO, N. D., Aug. 23.-The confer
ence between the North Dakota railroad
commissioners and representatives of
the railroads trayersing the state was
held here today. 1t was called for the
purpose of endeavoring to secure lower
rates on wheat from North Dakota
points to st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth. The railroad commissioners of
Minnesota, Ward Ames, representing
the Duluth chamber of commerce, and
formers from all over the state were
also present and took part in
the deliberations. 1t was argued
by the farmers that, with the existing
low prices of wheat. after deducting
expenses for seeding, tilling and har-
vestine, there was absolutely nothing
left to recompense them for their
labor. They urged that the railroads
should share part of the loss which the
low prices necessitated. If freight rates
were not reduced they would be forced
TO cease raising wheat except for home
consumption. The petition, signed by
1000 extensive farmers of the state,
praying for reduction In rates, was
presented. Representatives of the rail-
roads listened to the argument, but de-
clIned to make any reduction. They
declared the rates were now as low
as they could possibly afford to
have them. Mr.. Grover, of the Groat
Northern. admitted that if wheat ships
ments from, North Dakota ceased, it
would bankrupt the road, but said 1t
was risk the roads rau. and could not
be obviated: The conference adjourned
with an understanding that no volun-
tary reductions would be made by tie
railroads. After the conference a1num..
Der of the grain growers got together;
and resolved to initiate a movement
having for its object the reduction of
wheat acreage. They think they can
secure pledges enough to red uce the
acreage at least third. They see
nothing but bankruptcy In the present
rates and prices.

ANOTHER TARIFF BLUNDER.
by Which, 1t Is Said, Anthracite
Cannot Be Imported.

WASHINGTON. Aug. %. - Another
blunder has been discovered in the tariff
bill, which is almost sure to cause serl-
Gus trouble. In the free list of the Nc
Kinley act appear these two para
graphs:
''536, coal, anthracite"
''537, coal stores of American vessels;
but none shall be unloaded."
The new bill, however, unites these
paragraphs i'll section AL of the free
list, which now reads:
Goal. anthracite, and coal stores of
American vessels, but none shall be un-
loaded"
OF course, according to the punctua-
ton the prohibition contained in the
last clause applies to all that precedes it
in the paragraph, including anthracite
coal, which was intended to be made
free. AS the paragraph now stands,
anthracite coal cannot be unloaded.
