TO FIGHT FOR mlLLERs RIGHTS
Representative Meeting of the Trade AS
sociation at Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. q. - Representative
millers from every section of the coun-
try, and who compose the executive
committee of the National Millers'
Trade Association, will meet in secret
here during the present week for the
purpose of arranging plans for an ac-
tive agitation for reciprocity with South
American countries, and also to inau-
gurate a determined effort for the re-
peal of those provisions of the present
tariff law that conflict with the flour in
terests of the United States.
The present tariff has resulted in a
decrease in the exports of flour during
the past year of 100000 barrels, or
loss of $16000,0O0 to American millers,
compared to the benefits by reciprocity
through the Mckinley law, while this
year the loss promises to be greater.
"a united fight for millers' rights" will
be the keynote of the conference. The
advance guard of members of the COM
mittee is expected here this afternoon.

GENERAL SURPRISE AT SEATTLE
II Was General Hoped That Justice

II Was General hoped That Justice
Hanford Would BE Recngniz d.
Seattle, Jan. 2S.-General surprise is
felt here in railroad circles at the de-
cision of the supreme court justices in
the Northern Pacific receivership case.
While it was known that the fact that
Judge jenkins jurisdiction had been
recognized for two years was point
in favor of establishing primary juris-
diction of his court, it was thought the
majority of the road track being actu-
ally in this judicial district, together
with Burleigh's acceptability to the
New York and Northwestern people,
would offset that point. Railroad men
here agree that the comment on the de-
cision sent out by the Associated Press
from Washington today is unwarrant-
ed and unjust.

ST. PAUL is OUT OF THE RAcI
The g. a. r. Encampment VIII Probably
BE Held Elsewhere.

Chicago, Jan. ga meeting of the
Western Passenger Association was
held today for the purpose of consider
ing the requests for an extension of
time on the tickets for the C. A. r. en-
campment at ST. Paul, and rates below
those already granted for the meeting
of the Knights of Pythias at Minneapo-
lis. Both requests were denied.
The Great Western road, which was
the first to guarantee a rate for the G..
A. r. of 1 cent a mile, was strongly in
favor of making the tickets with a 20
day limit, instead of 80 days, as asked
by the c.. A. r.
The other roads were against it, and
it is likely that the Great Western will
give a time limit of at least 20 days on
all tickets sold over it's line. The other
roads will not, however, meet this rate,
and the officers of the G.. A. r. say that
they can not depend upon one road.
Commander Walker Of the G.. A. r.
has instructions from the executive
committee to give up the idea of hold
ing the encampment at st. Paul, unless
the desired concession can be obtained
from the Western Passenger Associa-
ton.
ST. PAUL is OUT OF 1T.
Chicago, Jan. %. - Commander-in-
Chief Walker, after he had been in
formed that the Western Passenger AS
ISOLATION would not grant the desired
extension, said: THAT simply let's st.
Paul out of it. The entire matter will
now be reopened and another city Sc
lected for the encampment."
