WILL CONFER SATURDAY.
MinnesOta-Wfsconsi Inspection to
Be Discussed.

An important meeting will be held
tomorrow morning at the rooms of the
Minnesota Railroad commission, in the
Endicott building, between the fac
tions at war over the grain inspection
system at the head of the lakes. The
abolition of the Minnesota inspection
system from Wisconsin has caused a
great hubbub among the elevator men,
railroads, the inspectors and the
boards of trade. A committee from the
Superior board of trade, which body
disbarred the Minnesota system, will
treat with the Minnesota Railroad COM
mission and 1t is understood that some
kind of a compromise will be made, of
just what nature neither the members
Of the commission or the state grain in
spector's Office know. 1t seems that the
Superior board of trade has discover
ed that the effects of it's action is far
more sweeping than 1t expected, and the
change will hurt the town severely, as
President Hill, Of the Great Northern,
has already taken steps looking to-
ward the outlay of many hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars in Duluth. The
representatives of the latter road are
expected to be present at the meeting.
Whether the state commission will con-
slider any proposition but the re-estab-
lishment of the system under all the
old conditions, is not known, but it is
not considered likely

Insane and Criminal Population
Shows Some Encouragement.

Insane and Criminal Population
shows Some Encouragement.
Some encouraging statistics have been
received from the various state refor-
matory and charitable institutions, and
particularly gratifying are those from
the state insane hospitals. The insane
of the state have been increasing so
rapidly during recent years that 1t
has been estimated that the present
hospitals would be taxed to their limit
of capacity by the middle of next
month, but so far from that being the
case, there are now only 2,91S patients
of this class, and the limit is 5000. The
reason for the margin is that the re-
cent months have witnessed a marked
falling off in the number Of cases of
insane commitments, and while the
population of such institutions is slow
ly but surely increasing, it has been
increasing more slowly during the i'm
mediate past. This is a source of no
little satisfaction to those who are in
charge of such work, and especially
when a similar, although not as mark
ed, falling off is observed in the popu-
lation of the reforn1atory institutions.
While from 1883 to 1894, the increase in
this total population from year to
year, was about 500, varying at the

OMAHA, DULUTH, AND GREAT
COAL RATE AGREEMENT.
OLD RAIL RATE OF rs CENTS
FROM THE HEAD OF THE LAKES
WILL BE RESUMED AT
ONCE.
1t VIII BE the Topic of Confer
ence In ST. Paul TOmOr-
row.

Wednesday evening Vice President
Finley, Of the Great Northern, Vice
President and General Manager Plough,
of the ST. Paul & Duluth. and General
Manager Burt, of the Omaha, dropped
down to Chicago on a little errand of
business. The cause of the pilgrimage
was announced yesterday afternoon
in telegram to local lines from Chair
man Midgley, of the Western Freight
association, stating that the gentle
men referred to would no longer sus-
tain the agreement made with the
Burlington and the Milwaukee regard
ing coal rates, as the latter two roads
had already bolted the compact.
And this is the end of the agreement
regarding coal rates which was in ef-
feet less than month. The breaking
of the agreement means coal will move
between the Twin Cities and Duluth. at
the rate of IS cents, and between Chi
cago and the Twin Cities for $1.50.
This rate was in effect some weeks
ago, and was taken advantage of by
shippers with great avidity, especially
between the head of the lakes and st.
Paul. About a month ago the Burl-
ington and Milwaukee put in rate
of $3.50 from Illinois points, disturbing
the other roads, and causing the little
war Then it was agreed that if the
Burlington and the Milwaukee would
advance their rates to $1.62, the st.
Paul & Duluth, the Great Northern and
the Omaha would raise the rate be-
tween ST. Paul and Duluth to 81. This
was to have gone into effect Sept. 1,
and yesterday afternoon the Burling-
ton and the Duluth gave it out that
they would not stand by the agree
ment. Messrs. Finley, Burt and
Plough informed Chairman Midgley
that under the circumstances they
would act independently of any agree
ment, and as stated before, this means
a revival of the 75c. rate between the
head of the lakes and st. Paul.

HULL CASE CONTINUED.
The Clergyman Returns to Jail for
One Week.

The examination of Rev. J. c. Hull,
charged with having administered
poison to his wife, was continued in
the police court yesterday for one week.
Assistant County Attorney Donnelfy,
when the case was called, said he had,
after consultation with B. F. Latta,
attorney for Hull, agreed that there
should be a continuance for one week
by mutual consent. Attorney Pierce,
who was present to represent Mr.. Latta
who had been called out of the city.
said nothing, and in reply to question
of the court Hull said the arrangement
would be perfectly satisfactory to him.
Asked if there was any motion or re-
quest which he desired to make at the
time Hull informed the court that there
was none whatever. The idea sus-
tanned by Judge Twohy that possibly
an application might be made for bail
but nothing in reference to the matter
of bonds was alluded to by the prisoner
or his attorney. Hull said he had no
statement to make and there was moth
ing new so far as he was aware of.
He Admitted that his confinement was
not at all pleasant but that he had no
complaint to make either regarding
his situation or treatment

The resignation of the Soo-Pacific
line from membership in the Trans
continental Passenger association will,
1t is believed, be withdrawn before an
other fortnight has gone past. General
Passenger Agent Galloway, of the 500
line, has been in communication with
Chairman Caldwell of the association,
and the latter has repeatedly asked
the 500 line to stay in the associations
until, at least, the matters under dis
pute could be arranged. The 500 claims
that 1t is not getting its percentage Of
business, and that the expense of being
a member is not met by the revenue
accruing. The association has passed
a formal motion asking the 500 to. re-
main member, and the request is
now under consideration.

The railroads and steamship lines are

The trouble has arisen over the action
of steamship lines in making Galveston

competition with New York. The rates
from New York to- Chicago for immi-
