TRANSCONTINENTAL RATES.
Those by Northern Lines Will Probably
Re Reduced.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 22.-It is rumored
that the general freight agents Of the
transcontinental roads will hold meet
ing in this city some time this week for
the purpose Of making reduction in
rates to Northern Pacific coast points.
"A the present time the Northern roads
cannot compete with the Southern
roads on freight to these points.
Freight can be carried to Northern Pa
cific points by way of California cheaper
than if carried direct. This is the
reason that the Northern roads are de.
termined to make much lower rate
than those in effect at the present time.

Vetoed to the Bill.

The President gives some cogent
reasons for his veto of the river and
harbor bill The amount appropriated
for almost immediate expenditure is
about ST, 1000, 900, and, in addition,
contracts are authorized for S62, 2,ooo,-
900. The latter sum, as is aptly
pointed out, would be as binding upon
the government as an issue of bonds,
and the President shows that, at this
time of business depression and result
ing disappointment in government
revenue, extravagant appropriations
are altogether out Of the question. Un-
der the circumstances, actuated by
sense cfduty, he withholds his appro-
val. But the Senate promptly passed
the bill over the Presidents veto by
more than the usual two third majority.
