FREIGHT RATES.
House Railroad Committee Con-
siders Fefgss Bill.

The house railroad committee had
meeting yesterday afternoon to con-
slider Mr.. Feig's bill for a reduction of
the freight rates on ore and coal, and
listened to arguments from represent
atives of various interests. Repre-
sentative McInnis stated that the peo-
pie of the iron range would be adj
versely affected by the operation of
the bill, as it's tendency would be to
decrease wages Of employees. A strong
protest against the bill was presented
by William c. Hays, the representative
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, in behalf of $4,000 railroad en-
ployes of the state. His argument was
that the curtailment Of the freight re-
ceipts meant a corresponding cut in
wages, and he cited numerous figures
to show that the companies could not
do a profitable business at a reduced
rate. Mr.. McInnis stated that the re-
duction of the ore rates would be bene-
fetal only to companies in the iron
business in other states, and that there
was no grievance among the shippers
in this state.

but the flames were sweeping up SO
that they had to jump through a fur

is TAYLOR TAKEN?
Belief General at Pierre That He
Is in Custody.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., March 13.-The be-
lief is strong her among state officials
and others that Gov. Sheldon has re-
ceived advices of the capture of Tay-
lor, though he will communicate moth
ing during the temporary absence of
Attorney General Crawford, who has
charge of the case. He informed
party today that Taylor would likely
be in custody very soon, and con-
fessed that he had important news,
but would not divulge 1t. A man
named Lambert, said to be special
detective, left this morning for the
Southwest, and is supposed to have
gone to identify Taylor.
TAYLOR CERTAINLY CAPTURED.
TAMPA, Fla, March 13.-The in
formation concerning the arrest of W.
l.. Taylor, the defaulting treasurer oil
South Dakota, in Mexico, by Pinker-
ton agent last Sunday, comes by way
OF Havana. No reason to doubt the
accuracy of the news exists. Taylor,
who went under his mothers name
(Mason), and compaion calling him
self Phelps, were traced to Port Tampa.
William A Pinkerton himself was here
last week conducting the search and
stopped at the Tampa Bay hotel, as
though he were here for pleasure.
He had an agent with him. He learned
that Taylor had sailed by the steamer
Mascotte for Havana a few days be-
fore. The agent went to Havana and
though the Cuban police discovered
that Taylor had sailed two days pre-
wi CT 10
Vera Cruz. A Pinkerton agent in
Vera Cruz was notified, and he is re-
ported to have missed Taylor at the
steamer in Vera Cruz, to have fol-
| lowed him up and to have arrested
him in the City of Mexico on last Sun
| day
SIOUX CITY, To-, March 13.-Jour-
| nails Pierre, S. D., special: Homer
| and Stewart and C. T. Mccoy, attor-
neys for Taylor's bondsmen, have filed
their answer in the suit of the state
| to recover on the bond. The points
made are as follows:
First-The bond is void, because it is
excessive. The constitution places the
bond at $3.50, 600, and the defense claims
that the state eXtorted an additional
100000, thus violating the entire bond.
i SGCOilu-lIl case ILLS punt IL ONSi
ruled the defense holds that the eX-
cess of 100000 is certainly void.
Third-The defense holds that $S50,00o
of the amount defaulted was stolen
during Taylor's. first term, and is con-
sequently not charge upon his second
| bondsmen.
Fourth-The law provides that at the
expiration of the first term the treas
urer shall make a full and complete
accounting to the governor or other
accounting officer, and that the terms
Of this settlement shall be Endorsed
upon the new bond; that as this was
not done the new bond was invalid.
Fifth-Two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars of the default came
from the floating funding warrants.
The defense holds that issuance OF
these warrants was contrary to the
constitutional provision limiting ths
states debt, and that this amount can.
not be recovered as it was in no sense
legal state money.

TWO NEW YORK BLOODS IN

CHALLENGE FOR A DUEL
Follows, and Prospects Are Thai
One Will BE Fought in the
Near Future.

HAVERHILL, Mass, March 13-
night confirmed a report current this
afternoon that Thomas Gilroy Jr.,
of New York, son of eX-Mayor Gil
roy, and Hale's brother-in-law. had,
as the result of a violent quarrel in
the cafe of the Parker house, chaI-
lenged Hale to fight a duel, and the
challenge was accepted. The quar-
rel occurred through personal
charges and counter-charges result
ing from young Hale's endeavors 10
have his mother removed as n!s
guardian. Hale states that he, ac-
companied by a friend, Sidney W.
Young, of Haverhill, went to New
York early in the week to notify
Hale's mother of the action to re-
move her as guardian. She was
found at the home of ex-Mayor Gil
roy, and her counsel, Mr.. Badger.
was present at the interview be-
tween her and her son, during which
the lawyer told Hale that he had
better look out for young Gilroy, as
he latter had threatened to break
every bone in his body.
Hale and Young reached Boston on
their return from New York this morn
ing, and called at the Parker house FOR
Gilroy, who, with his wife, was a
guest at the hotel. When Gilroy ap-
peared, Hale accused him of living on
money from Hale's income. Gilroy re-
piled that he could not have anything
to do at that time with Hale, as Hale
was his physical superior, but thatzsle
would meet him with pistols at any
New York hotel. An exchange of cpl
thets occurred, during which a crowd
gathered, and Gilroy escaped to his
room. Hale stated that he is prepared
to fight at any time, but not-within 100
miles of New York

Just here the cold, unresponsive feel

have its natural effect on the commit
teemen. They didn't care much
whether the Offer went to the senate

fectly- willing that the thing should go
to the house in such a shape that 1t
would not amount to anything in re-
atty and could easily be allowed to
rest in innocuous desnetude.
And in the inside pocket of Repre-
sentative Downs, besides the Gus
tomary SIS, there is snugly resting
the "offer" that bears the signature
of Robert Pratt. The chances are, or
course, that it will be presented to

DENY ITS LEGALITY.
New Complications Regarding the
Chicago & Northern Pacific

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 13.-A
new complication in the extremely
complicated Northern Pacific litigation
developed today when the Northern
Pacific receivers filed a reply to the in
tervening petition of the Chicago &
Northern Pacific receivers denying the
legality of he lease or it's assignment
under which the Northern Pacific COM
pany operated the lines of the Chi
cago & Northern Pacific road from
April, 1890, to Sept. q, 1898. The re-
ceivers further develop an inclination
to shoulder all the responsibility on
the Wisconsin Central lines. The re-
ceivers deny that there is any sum
whatever due the Wisconsin Central
receivers, or the Chicago & Northern
Pacific receivers. The receivers of the
Northern Pacific company further set
forth that they have been unable to
determine whether the Chicago &
Northern Pacific lines are being op-
Grated by the Wisconsin Central re-
ceivers, or by one of the Wisconsin
Central companies.

CRASHED IN A HARBOR,
British and Norwegian Vessels in
Collision at Mobile.

MOBILE. Ala, March 13.-The Nor
wegian steamship Fulton, Capt. Jacob
son, from Bocas Del Zorro was in col
lision today with the British ship Aus
tria, off the mouth of the Mobile river.
The Fulton was coming in and the
Austria going out. The former was
under good Roadway, and, when fifty
yards from the Austria, swerved in
her course and crashed into the Aus
tria's port, damaging the ship several
thousand dollars and staving a large
hole in the port of the Fulton. The
steamer careened to one side and be-
gan to settle, the water pouring over
the lee rail. Just as Capt. jacobson
was about to lower the boat, the vessel
righted. The Fulton had a cargo of
bananas.
Capt. Jacobson reports no new de-
velopments at Bocas.

ish fleet, sailed from Algiers in search
of the missing cruiser.

tected cruiser and was completed in
