When that is brought into the House it

not again be conspicuous by their abser-ce

MET RATES FOR FEW HOURS,
FLOUR RATES ALSO BADLY CUT.
Same Troublesome ESond Announces
Decrease Of Two Cents on
Rates TO SeabOard.

Three roads, the Milwaukee, the
Great Western and the Minneapolis 4
ST. Louis, yesterday placed tickets on
sale from st. Paul to Eastern Canada
and New England points, at a rate OF
one fare for the round trip, the rate
being applied to meet the rates of the
Soc line. The tickets were on sale for
6 or hours when all the Chicago-St
Paul lines came to the conclusion that
il would be wiser to hold off for a while
Logger or until further advices could be
received from Chairman Caldwell. The
local agents held a meeting at the
Ryan, and it was decided to withdraw
the rates temporarily, and another
meeting viii be held at II o'clock this
morning to further consider the mat
ter. 1t is not likely that the rates will
be restored, for two reasons: First, the
ChicagO-St Paul lines have not as yet
secured the cooperation Of the Eastern
Traffic lines, and without them the
excursion business might as well drop:
second, the 500 has had four days start
of the other lines. and the business is
about exhausted, or will be by the time
the red tape necessary to get the con-
sent Of the Joint Traffic and the East
ern Traffic association lines has been
secured. This mornings meeting will
settle the question. If the local agents
decide to reinstate the cut rate, all
lines will join the competition.
It is not at all probable that the Joint
Traffic association will concede the
point asked, and allow the Western
lines, through their Eastern connec-
tions, to add New England territory to
the Canadian excursions, which leaves
the 500 line master of the situation.
The Grand Trunk was willing to CO.
operate with the Western lines, but
the Joint association refused this,
which gives rise to the charge that it
is discriminating in favor of the Cana
dian Pacific, and refusing to allow
Western roads to make the best Of
traffic which is legitimately theirs. The
temptation which surrounds the Grand
Trunk to break away from the Joint
Traffic association and stand it's share
of the reductions is very great. It
would have a monopoly on Western
business for a while at least.

Cut Is Likewise Made in Freight

1t was generally reported yesterday
that the 500 had applied the knife to

carry the war on to any point it sees
fit. The 500, Of course, operates in con-
junction with the Canadian Pacific in
Canada, and as the Canadian Pacific
is supposed to be a member In good
standing Of the Eastern Traffic associa-
ffon, the other members are wondering
how long it will be before the Canadian
Pacific lives up to it's agreements.
But little -four is moving East from
Minneapolis at this time of the year
Many Of the mills in that city have
shut down, at least temporarily and
all lines are making a strong bid for
the traffic that is left. If the Wisconsin
Central should cut in and use it's new
ferry connections via Manitowoc, there
would be merry times.
Assistant General Freight Agent
Parker of the 500, seen yesterday af-
ternoon by reporter for the C o b e
said that he had not heard of the al
legged cut, and that if 1t was in effect,
he did not know it.

There is no probability whatever that
the roads of the Joint Traffic associa
tion will agree to share in the reduc-
tions necessary to meet the competition
of the 500 line in the payment of its
excessive commissions on excursion
business from Western Canadian points
TO points in Eastern Canada and New
England. No reply has as yet been
received by the Western roads to their
request that the Joint Traffic associa-
ton help them to meet the competition
and the time is now so short that by
the time the Eastern lines decide to
assist, even if they do so decide, all Of
the greater portion of the business will
have been contracted for.

Talk of an Investigation Into Ac-
tEvity I'm Proving Up.

n
tIvity I'm Proving Up.
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-It is charged
By the World, in it's Washington dis
patch today, that during the past year
more than twelve million acres of pub
lie lands have been patented to the
Northern Pacific railroad and that the
general land office has practically sur
rendered itself to this corporation. It
IS further charged that the Northern
Pacific obtained four-fifths of all the
land patented during the year and the
Huntington roads nearly the whole OF
the other fifth. Eighteen other land
grant roads received but III, ,979 acres.
The territory transferred to the North
ern Pacific within the year, it is point
ed out, is greater than Massachusetts.
New hampshire and Rhode Island
combined In the thirty years pre-
VIouS to Commissioner Lamoreux's ad-
ministratiOn, but little over two and a
quarter million acres were patented to
this company. These facts are said
tc have so startled Secretary Francis
that he has notified the land Office
that he viii approve no more seiec-
tions Of land by the Northern Pacific.
1t is reported that the receivers of the
road actually presented to the circuit
court in Wisconsin a bill for $152. 900
for expenses incurred in eXpediting the
issuance Of patents. 1t is more than
probable that a congressional inVesti-
cation will result, although the roads
are said to have taken every step to
prevent it. John Fl. Knight, Of Wis
consin, is said to be behind the scheme.
II is charged that two clerks from st.
Paul were sent here by the Northern
Pacific to assist the land Office in ex-
pediting matters.
