REDUCING GRA1N RATES.
Shipments to the atlantic Seaboard at
Very LotC Rates.

Shipments to the atlantic Seaboard at
Very Lo,c Rates.
CHICAGO, Ill, April 2.-East- bound
grain rates were in no better shape to-day
than yesterday. AS predicted, the Michi-
gan Central came out with a tariff based
on IL cents from Chicago to New York.
All other lines are making the same rate
as the Grand Trunk and Michigan Central,
although none Of them have gone through
the formality of getting out a rate sheet.
The Board of Trade being closed to-day
because of the local election, there were no
important shipments of grain made and
the rate of u cents was not cut. but it is
highly probable it will be reduced before
the season of lake navigation opens. The
roads must take grain for what they can
get as there is no heavy rush of grain
shippers even at the present low figures.
Many shippers believe that by holding off
for few weeks they will be able to get
their grain East at 10 cents. There is very
little in it for the railroads even now, and
some of them will fight hard against put
ting the rate as low as 10 cents.

ADDRESS OF REPUBLIcANs.
Why the Reforms IN Ne,U York Should
led To EiaaiSL


Why the Reforms in NeU York Should
b Pushed to a Finish.
NEW " sK, N. Y, April 2.-An ad-
lican voter In this State was issued to-
day, which, is causing much stir. and
interest among politicians of all classes.
The address is signed by Cornelius n.
Bliss, Joseph H. Choate, Horace Porter,
Legrande B. Cannon, Samuel Thomas,
William Brookfeld, Horace. Russell, Ed
ward Mitchell, Joel B. Erhardt, C. RI. T..
COLES, George w. Lyon, John r.. Van
wormer, Henry E. Rowland, Henry w.
Cannon, NJ. c. Borden and John Clafin..
The ground taken is that the vote for
Governor in New York City at the recent
election was an index of the number of
votes that had come into the Republican
party at that time on both State. and, local
issues. Says this address:
They say that the Republican party in this
city had fully committed itself to the cause
they had at heart-the upbuilding of munich
pal government ON non-partisanship lines
and they believed the party in the State would
support and sustain ITS pledge. To make good
the promise made by the party the city must
pass the reform measures which have been
pending in the Legislature for some time past.
These measures provide for:
/. Reorganization oEpublic schools.
2. Abolishing the present Tammany Hall ap-
pointees of police justices by creating new po-
lice magistrates to be appointed by the Mayor.
3. Reorganization of the Police Department.
An argument is offered to show the i'm
portance of retaining the New York City
voters in the Republican party. as the
balance of power in the State is involved.
