TWO CASES HEARD.
Commerce commission Put In a Busy
Day.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-The interstate
commerce commission today resumed
the investigation of the Chicago &
Northwestern and Illinois Central rates
on packing house products to New
Orleans for export to Europe from that
point. Henry Baldwin, agent for the
Illinois Central at New Orleans; Wm
p Ross, New Orleans steamship
agent. and J. S. Knox, in charge of
the export business Of the Cudahy
Packing company, all testified that the
practice OF the roads in charging a
lower rate to New Orleans for export
than that charged on products sent to
New Orleans for home consumption,
does not operate to the disadvantage
of shippers or merchants in the South
ern country. No complaints had ever
been made by New Orleans merchants.
The fact that ocean rates from New
Orleans varied from II to Is cents per
hundred pounds, made it impossible to
have a fixed railroad rate. New York
ocean rates, it was stated, were per-
manently higher than those of New
Orleans the difference being IL cents
or more. This fact made lower domes-
tic rates by the Eastern roads unneces-
sary.
The Illinois Central investigation was
closed by the testimony of M. c. Mark
Hdil, lrdlIlc nldHaSef OF the ROAD, VINO
testified that it was not practicable
for the company to issue fixed rates on
packing house products. The commits
sion took the case under advisement
The case against the Chicago Great
Western and the Lehigh Valley COM
panies and Lehigh Valley railroad was
then taken up. 1t was charged that
lower rates were made for exports to
Europe by way Of North Atlantic ports
than were charged for domestic con-
sumption In the East. 1t was shown
that the rates were the same and the
case was dismissed
On Monday the commission will take
up the investigation Of grain rates as
charged by the Santa Fe and other
Western roads from the Missouri river
East.

verely on their revenues. Each line Is
ness at it's offers, and indications are
that rates on all commodities Of con-
sequence will soon be down to bed
rock The daily bulletins issued by the
agent of the roads in Washington
show that the tariffs issued are fast
eating into the revenues Of the roads,
and in the opinion of some of the con-
seryative traffic officials Of the West
ern roads the only thing that will rem
edy the situation is action by the own
ers and investors in the roads, and a
demand that the presidents take such
action as will in short time put an
end to the decentralization.
The Western Freight association is
the last organization Of the roads in
freight matters. and Commissioner
MidgIey. of that organization, found
IT necessary to issue this last week a
personal appeal to the roads to inform
his office, at the same time that 1nfor-
nation be sent to the interstate COM
merce commission, of proposed reduced
rates. Numerous instances have oc-
Cured where the members of the asso-
citation have given the commissioner
no notice whatever of their intention
to cut rates, and his first information
has come from the agent at Washing
ton. He has asked the roads to notify
him simultaneously with the notice sent
to commission, and to continue the
practice until better conditions can be
inaugurated. One of the prominent
officials of one of the Western lines
said today: II am firmly convinced
that unless the stockholders and In
yestors interest themselves in this mat
ter before long some Of the lines will
have great difficulty in avoiding bank
ruptcY."

DE LEON HERE TODAY.
VIII Address Local Socialists on
Political Issues,

Daniel de Leon, who is to address the
local socialists this afternoon at
o'clock and tomorrow evening at s,
was born in Venezuela, of an old colo
NAL family tracing itself back to the
days of the Spanish explorer who
sought the fountain Of perpetual youth.
At the age of eighteen, he went to
Germany, where he spent several
years in study. Later he practiced law
for some time in Texas He was ap-
pointed to chair in Columbia college,
lecturing on international law and po-
litical economy, position which he
lost by reason of his activity in the
campaign of the United Labor party
in 1856. He remained with that party
as long as he thought there was q
chance to save it from the attempts
of Henry George to transform it into,
a single tax party, but in 1890, when
this hope was lost, he joined the So
cialist Labor party. Since then he has
been the foremost champion of that
party. He has been several times a
delegate to the various general assem-
blies of the Knights of Labor, and was
instrumental largely in the deposition
of Powderly in 1893. But when Grand
Master Workman Sovereign, with his
subordinate officers, showed them
selves to be no better, District Assem-
bly, No. 40, the famous New York
branch, and many others withdrew and
participated in the organization Of the
new Socialist trade and labor alliance
Mr. de Leon was prominent in this
movement. He is now editor Of the
People, a New York publication, but
is on tour of agitation in the inter-
est Of the Socialist Labor party go
This afternoon he will discuss the
political issues Of the day, tomorrow
night Trades unionism.''
This evening at 1880 reception will
be rendered him at the Globe hotel,

would ultimately make their appear
ance upon tickets which were held by
the G. A. r. visitors. During encamp-
ment week, the joint agent used the
same stamp and the same color Of ink
constantly, excepting the last two days,
when he suddenly switched to another
color and another kind Of stamp. and
then awaited results. The expected
happened. The scalpers being I'M
prepared for the change, and being
under the impression that the joint
agency would use the same stamp dur
ing the week, had counterfeits made
of their own, and the tickets so stamp
ed were presented for use by purchas-
ers upon outgoing trains But at
. O'Clock each night, the conductors of
each outgoing train and passenger Off
Gals on each train were advised by the
joint agent the color which would be
used that night ON outgoing trains. The
conductors and authorized officials
were therefore the only ones who were
aware Of the color to be used. Conse-
quently when passenger presented a.
ticket stamped in the color in use be-
fore the change, and with the old
stamp, the fraud was at once detected.
AS result of these Precautions the
scalpers were successful only two or
three days in showing the Illegally ex-
tended and signed tickets onto the rail
roads. They were all right till the 10th
or 18th, but not after that. Spoilers
were placed ON the trains to assist the
conductors, and a watch was kent If
being thought that the scalpers had
agents on the trains. Finally IT was
discovered that on this end of the line.
the business was completely broken up.
The moment the joint agency com
nenced to change colors and stamps
each day, the brokers saw that the
game was up, and they threw UP both
hands. But down on the Chicago end
OF the lines, they were more persistent.
and the Chicago Passenger association

EAsT-BoUND RATES.
They Seem to Be the Bone of Con-
tentiOn.

Freight officials are very dubious
about the meeting to be held in ST.
Paul Tuesday at the instance of Chair
man Caldwell, Of the Western Freight
association, for the purpose of restor-
ing, if possible, east bound rates on
-four
None of the railroads seem to want
to advance the rates. The cut Of the
500 was instantly met by the other
roads, and if there has been any de-
sire to advance the tariffs to the old
standard, the desire would have been
indicated at the meeting of agents in
Chicago last week. But the fact that
such a desire was not manifested is
taken as an evidence that the low
rates will hold good for some time.
West bound rates are now in a sat
isfactory condition, or will be as soon
as the restoration ordered for Oct. 1
takes effect. The Eastern rates are
causing the trouble now But Chair
man Caldwell is nothing, if not per-
severing, and, If he has his way, rates
to the seaboard on bread stuffs will go
up again.

Joint Line Agreement Made Trouble
for Them.


Charles B. Kinnap. joint agent Of the
union ticket Office established at the
Ryan hotel to CARES for the G. A. r.
business, told yesterday the inside of
the Investigations conducted during
the rush of business, to catch the
scalpers who were Known to be guilty
of counterfeiting the joint agents
signature and official stamp upon the
backs of excursionn tickets.
1t looked at ONE time, as if the publi-
cation of the fact that the scalpers
were up to tricks, would flush the game
and prevent the agents in their
efforts to identify the scalpers who
were doing the counterfedting. But
now Secretary Kinnan is of the opin-
ion that the notoriety given the plot
in the newspapers, actually aided him
in his work.
Mr.. Kinnan, taking the experiences
of other cities into consideration was
fully prepared for the crookedness Of
the scalpers. He expected that the
counterfeit stamps and signatures

Have Not Gone Home.
Four thousand five hundred people,
who came up to attend the G. A. r.
encampment, are still in the city or
touring about the state until the time
limit expires upon the Both of the
month.
The joint agency, all told, extended
over 10000 tickets, and of these $500
have been called for. OF the balance
Secretary Kinnan thinks that all but
perhaps ESQ will be called for, and the
$50 will expire without being redeemed.
The reason for the surplus is that
many people took advantage of the
rates to come to st. Paul II Mime
sofa with the intention of remaining.
Others fail to reclaim their tickets
through mistake or forgetfulness. Min
neapolis still has 1000 tickets in de-
post, and Of these all but 100 or SO
will be redeemed by owners. The rush
for tickets will not commence until
two or three days before the time
limit expires, when the applications
will probably number 1000 per day.
