PROPOSITION SUBMITTED,
n Not Accepted Western Lines VIII Wage
War Against the Canadian Pacific
Union Pacific 1soycott.


Chicago, Jan. i.-The committee Of the
Western lines which had under considera-
tion the matter of allowing dimerentials to
the Canadian Pacific to-day made a defin-
ite proposition TO that line. looking to the
abolition OF the commissions paid at Cana
dian and American ports. 1t is not pro-
posed TO DO away with the commissions
entirely, but to reduce them In a large
measure. II the Canadian Pacific does not
accept the plan, the Western roads will be-
gin the fight against 1t with renewed
vigor.
The committee which has under discus
sion the boycott on the Union Pacific an
nounced that 1t was not able to agree, and
will take further time to work on the mat
ter. The Atchison Southern Pacific CONF
mttee was not able to report. The agree
ment which these two lines reported the
other day had been reached to their mutual
satisfaction has gone by the board. The
officials of the Southern Pacific gave their
consent to the plan of adjustment, but
later announced, on rereadng the agree
ment, they found that there were some
things In II which they could not approve.
and the entire thing went to pieces. The
two lines are now endcavoring to get to-
gether again.
\ conference was held to-day between
the representatives of the Union Pacific on
ono side and the Rio Grande, Burlington
and Rock Island on the other. to see If
some agreement which will permit the
exchange of all business between the lines
represented without restriction could not
be reache ID. Nothing was done. principally
because the Union Pacific refused to re-
ceive one way business to Portland except
at the Missouri river. IL demands the
long haul on the business and will not ac-
cept ii at Denver or Ogden.

Atchison, kas., Jan. 4-What is believed
to be natural gas has been discovered at
Doniphan, six miles north of Atchison.
The gas is found imprisoned beneath the
Ice on Doniphan lake. IL appears in the
form OF great bubbles under the ice, and
when tapped forces itself through the
opening, and may BE- lighted and burned
as il coming but OF gas jet. 1t was first
discovered year ago, but the ice melted
before there was time for an investigation.
When the lake froze over again this year
the bubbles reappeared. and Professor
Knerr, of Midland college, who visited the
lake to-day, says he believes that 1t is true
natural gas. 1t burns with a yellowish
flame, quite unlike the flame of marsh
gas. The gas appears all over the lake,
and comes up IN such quantities In places
that the water will not freeze. 1t Is likely
that a company will be organized to bore
deposit,
