POLES FOR THE NORTHWEST.
Frank GrygIa Is Doing Good Mis-
siOnary Work.

Frank Grygla, who has earned for himself
quite a name for his successful missionary
work among the Polish people, represents the
Due, no doubt, to the fact that he enjoys
the entire confidence of his countrymen, for he
is himself an educated member of that race,
he has led the movement of Polish people to
the lands on the Great Northern, and already
several thriving colonies serve as monuments
to his energy and enterprise.
For over month Mr.. Grygla has been in
the East, in New York, Pennsylvania, and
several of the Middle states, arranging to
bring to the Northwest additions to the Polish
population already here, and news was re-
ceived yesterday that he hopes to head a
large party of people in the spring to the
fertile farming lands in Dakota and other
states.
Before he went East he had designed and
Autographed high colored letterhead, upon
which he put all his company correspondence
to prospective settlers That the beautiful
heading, as well as the matter contained in
the letters fulfilled its purpose, is best shown
by the large number of answers and applica-
tons received since Grygla's departure Now
Land Agent Babcock does not understand
Polish, and naturally could neither read nor
reply to the accumulated correspondence so
he has found it necessary to enlist the assist
ance of +. j. Rosenthal, a young Polish
university student, for the purpose.
And that is why there appears on the Great
Northern payroll for the present month, the
name of F. ]. Rosenthal.

NORTHERN PACIFTc SERVICE.
Important Changes to BE Made Il,
the Road.

AS intimated in the G o e in connection
with the intended change of schedule to be
put in effect on Sunday by the Great North
ern road, the Northern Pacific officials have
been looking the ground over, and will take
whatever steps are necessary to prevent the
adoption of better time or better service by
their principal competitor.
While nothing definite has been decided
UPON to date, it is understood that the North
ern Pacific is well able to hold it's end of the
transcontinental traffic, and if necessity comes
a change will be inaugurated. Several Of the
division superintendent, have either come to
St Paul or communicated with General Man
ager Kendrick relative to the time possible on
their sections of the line, etc., and it is
understood that some time has been spent
figuring the most advantageous way in which
to best accommodate the most business. One
plan which has been considered was the sub
stltution of a through train which shall carry
the mails and which shall take the place of
the Fargo train which now leaves in the even
ing, to connect with the jamestown and Win
nipeg trains. This train will go through with
few stops, and, according to the officials, can,
If necessary, beat the time set for the new
Great Northern schedule.
The plan mentioned contemplates the estab-
lshment of a second cross-country train to
leave here early in the morning and take
care of the intermediate points. AS stated
nothing has been determined upon, and it
is improbable that anything will be until the
Great Northern schedule has been COM
menced. One thing is certain, the Northern
Pacific will hardly be outdone in the matter
of time, and thus lose it's big transcontinental
mail contract. AS the schedules of both
roads go now, neither cross-country train can
t1uthfully be said to make very fast time.

c. p. n. MEETING.
A Good Showing Made by the North
western Subsidiary Lines.

MONTREAL, April 1.-The annual meeting
of the Canadian Pacific railway held today
was harmonious. Negotiations are pending
for the joint use by the Canadian Pacific of
the Grand Trunk line between Toronto aud
Hamilton, with the object of rendering I'M
necessary the construction of the Hamilton
Toronto section of the Toronto, Hamilton &
Buffalo railway; and there is good reason to
believe that this arrangement will be con-
summated. In view of this, the shareholders
were asked to authorize the directors to make
an agreement with the Grand Trunk company
for a lease of running powers and other
privileges between the cities named. 1t was
stated that the company's subsidiary lines in
the Northwestern states-the Minneapolis, st.
Paul & Sault Ste. Marie, and Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic-have participated in the i'm
provement in business. The first named COM
pany paid its interest and other fixed charges
for the year without assistance but the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic, owing to
prolonged strike in the iron mines, covering
the business part of the shipping season, re-
quired assistance to the extent of $14S7 TIC. The
company's Pacific steamships fell only SO, 900
short of maintaining the exceptionally large
profits of 1894. Four per cent consolidated
debenture stock was created and sold during
the year as follows: $116,55O for equipment
and improvements; $37, 500 for North Shore
railway per cent bonds, and $323, 900 for
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic guaranteed
consolidated bonds. The sum of $341 163 eX-
pended on capital account beyond the pro-
ceeds of the debenture stock mentioned above
was advanced from the company's accumulat-
ed surplus. In presenting the report, Sir Will
lam Van Horne confined himeslf to a few
more congratulatory remarks.

ROADS ARE ALL WARY,
Agents Warned Not to Make Any
Special Rates to Shippers.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The Western roads are
since the Brown decision taking action to
prevent themselves from coming into forcible
contact with the interstate commerce law
Yesterday one of the leading Western lines
sent out circular to all it's agents. warning
them there must be no favoritism in granting
freight rates, and that the agent who did
1t would be dismissed from the service To-
day two more of the roads sent similar cir
culars to agents, saying that the recent de-
cision Of Judge Brown made it advisable for
the roads to be very careful in what they
did in granting special rates. The circulars
were issued with great secrecy, for the rea-
son that the roads are fearful that the fact
that they found it necessary to issue circu-
lars on such a subject might cause the Of
ficials of the commission to think that they
had been violating the law in the past by
granting special rates to some favored ship
per. They claim that they have not done
this, but they simply do not care to give
the commission any chance to entertain un-
charitable suspicious against them.
The regular meeting of the Western Pas
senger association will be held in st. Louis
tomorrow, and strong effort will be made
to settle the differences in rates between the
Missouri river and Colorado common points.
Unless the fight between the Atchison and
the Denver G Gulf can be settled there is
not much chance that the rates can be fixed
with any assurance that they will remain
fixed for any length OF time. The officials
of the Western Trunk Line association are
talking about holding another meeting to see
If they cannot inject some stach into freight
rates in the West. The Trunk Line agree

GENERAL TRAFFIC. MANAGER
SHUTE ON A RECENT SUPREME
COURT DECISION
ON THE LONG AND SHORT HAUL
RATES OF THE PANAMA ROUTE
CAN BE MET BY TRANSCONTI-
MENTAL LINES.
CIRCULAR OF WARNING ISSUED
BY One Line to It's Agents-NO Favor
ttism to BE Shown to Any Par
.icuIar shipper.

General Traffic Manager H. L. Shute Of the
Great Northern road, who is at present in
Milwaukee attending the transccntinental
freight meeting, has expressed the following
sentiments regarding the recent decision of the
supreme court, touching the long and short
haul clause in the interstate commerce laws.
The recent decision of the United States
supreme court, to the effect that the fourth
section Of the inter state commerce law must
be observed, will not, in my opinion, affect
the making of rates between Atlantic and
Pacific seaboard points, via the rail lines run
ming through the United States, to meet the
rates of the Panama route. 1t is not to be
understood that these terminal rates to
be applied to or from intermediate stations
on transcontinental lines, these lines having
obtained authority to ignore the fourth section
referred to, because Of the competition of the
water route, and to the extent of the applica-
tiop of rates-for example from New York
to some intermediate point-that may be as
certained by adding to the terminal rate the
local rate back from Portland, Ore, or any
other Pacific coast terminal"

for Some Days.

CHICAGO, April 1.-AIthough the wheat
market was dull today the price was remark
ably firm and it closed 5sc higher for May
than 1t did yesterday. Anxiety regarding
the crops OF Kansas and California was an
element in the days strength. Corn and
oats were firm. the former gaining for May
An and the latter &c on yesterdays closing
provisions revived from their recent depres-
sion and made substantial gains Opening
sales OF wheat were at a@1ac advance and
afterwards prices receded &c, rallied hc
eased off some and closed firm. The early
strength and higher opening was attributed
to the temperance Of wintry conditions in
the Northwest and the very small movement
IN that section. A blizzard was reported in
the Dakotas and this, 1t was feared, would
retard spring work. Another factor which
induced considerable buying was the report
IN general circulation that the market would
do much better today. The general absence
OF any important bear news, coupled with
good buying by leading commission houses
caused the market to hold steady The corn
market started in at a shade over the prices
current at the close of the previous session,
and only $50 cars estimated as the receipts
for tomorrow helped in holding the price up.
The opening price for May was 29kc and it
sold at 29as@29%c, which was the highest and
the closing quotation. The session in the
oats market was one of the busiest, and the
NoiuHe OF business quite as heavy as has
been done for some time back. Changing
from May to July at 1s@%c premium for the
latter constituted good share of the days
trading. May opened at 193s@191hc, sold at
1850, advanced to 1890, and closed &c higher
at that price. The heaviness which has for
two days characterized the provision market
was lifted today. The opening prices for
May pork was at from Toe to 121kc over yes
terday's closing rates, and the latest trading
q cd n
for May and TIC for July, and ribs at the
close were 10c higher each for both May and
July. Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, II cars; corn, $50 cars; oats. 100 cars;
hogs, 20, 900.
