CANADA PACIFIC OBJECTS.
Protests Against Rates In Effect
When Association Was Formed.

CHICAGO, March 23.--The Canadian Pacific
and the 500 line have made a request of
Chairman Caldwell that he cause the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific to take out
certain rates that were in effect when the
agreement Of the TranScontinental association
was formed, and of which the two roads that
now object TO the continuance OF the rates
were cognzant at the time of forming the
agreement Chairman Caldwell has asked for
arguments on both sides, and will render his
decision at later time. The rates to which
the Canadian Pacific and the 500 objects are
the mileage rates from Minneapolis to Pacific
coast points. The Great Northern and North
ern Pacific say they cannot take out the rates
as long as the Southern Pacific and the Oregon
Short Line keep them in effect The mileage
sales of 21a cents per mile are a decided re-
ductiOD from the regular tariff rates. The
regular tariff from Minneapolis to Seattle is
So and the mileage rate is S45.+3 The Can
adian Pacific and the 500 have asked the
chairman that while these mileage rates are
kept in effect, the regular rate be made S4440
to all North Pacific coast points taking the
regular tariff rate OF $50. This is the first
time that any road has contended that rates
in effect when the Transcontinental agree
ment was formed should be taken out on the
subsequent objections of any line. The chair
man has asked that all arguments be In his
hands by April !.
The Chicago Great Western has given notice
that at the expiration of ten days it will make
second-class tickets good in first-class ears
between Minneapolis and Kansas City. The
chairman has declined to accept the notice.
He has pointed out that q road is privileged
to take Independent action only when It has
appealed from ruling and when the associa-
ton has declined to sustain the appeal. This
procedure, he claims, has not been followed
out in This instance. The Great Western has
also asked for permission to make tourist car
tickets good in frst-class sleepers between
Chicago and Kansas City. This request has
been refused by the chairman.

for which he has long been noted, severed his
connection with the Popuiists and boldly
entered the Democratic ranks. having a
strong intuition of the great political land

himself that he would naturally come to the
top In the great commotion which would en-
