If it were possible to make close connec-

matter which port of departure might be
selected. At this time, it is discovered,
after long and careful study of European
and trans-American timetables and con-
nectons, that London is the best pointto
start from. For the purpose of lending
reality to this trip. which may some day
be a reality, it may be supposed that the
trans-Siberian railway has become sufh-
ciently settled and equipped to make it
reasonably certain that all passenger
trains will go through according to the
regular schedules. Then the distances

ST. PAUL AND VICINITY.
Western Freight Is Investigating
Existing Rates.

The board of administra ton of the
Western Freight association is getting
after rates in st. Paul territory The
last matter to have been considered
was the rate on salt from Lake Michf-
gan and Lake Superior points to
points in Central Minnesota, and yes
terday the board ordered an advance in
the rate, effective Monday, Dec T. The
new basis will be 1919 cents per 100
pounds, applying from Duluth, Superior
and common points to Mankato and
common territory; the same rate is also
to apply from Chicago and Milwaukee
to Britt, Mankato, and territory de-
pendent upon those points,
The board has also mapped out a
programme for the guidance of the
new rate committee. The committee
will meet regularly upon the second
Tuesday Of each month. Special meet
ings may be held upon the written re-
quest Of three or more members ad-
dressed to the chairman of the associa-
ton. The date to be named by the
latter official. Questions for considera-
ton Of the meeting shall be addressed
to the chairman not later than five
days before such meeting, and shall be
placed upon docket and sent to eacn
member Of the association. Subjects
not docketed may be considered upon
unanimous consent. but action thereon
shall be subject to the vote of absent
members. Another rule is, that as no
change in rates, rules or regulations
can be made effective without the ap-
prevail of the board of administration.
all recommendations should be sub
mitted to the board at the earliest mo-
ment. The rate committee can submit
subjects not agreed upon In a salts
factory manner to the board by unani-
nous vote. Direct application to the
board is not prohibited, but it is ex-
pected that wherever possible applica-
ton shall first be made to the rate
committee.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. ga smashing
blow to old traditions was delivered
today by the Louisville & Nashville
railroad and the Plant system. It
came in the form of an order for
changes to commence tomorrow, which
mean the upsetting of existing passen-
ger traffic regulations, and methods,
clear across the United States, from
the Southeast seaboard to the Great
Lakes and the Missouri river The net
result Is something never before ac-
compLished or even attempted in the
railway service. One Of the central
ideas is to put st. Louis and Chicago
within less than 48 hours of Tampa.
Fla. Instructions are that, commence
ing tomorrow, the Louisville & Nash
vile will inaugurate new through
sleeping car line with the latest vesti-
bule buffet coaches to run via Nash
Vile, Montgomery Thomasville,
Gainesville, Ocala, Leesburg and Lake
land, reaching Tampa at p. m. Com
mencing tomorrow, also, through sleep
ing cars are to be operated between
St Louis and Tampa, and Port Tam
pa, the route being via Nashville,
Montgomery and the East Coast Short
Line. The effect Of the new deal af-
fecting such a vast range of territory
and so many and varied interests is
being eagerly watched.

DIAMOND FRAME NOT HERS
North Dakota Woman Loses a.
Bicycle Peculiarly.

A little story has just come to light
showing the shrewdness and persever-
ance of railroad detectives in ferreting
out crimes committed against the COM
pany. During the G. A. r. encamp-
ment lady checked a bicycle from
Neche, N. D., to st. Paul, and in the
course Of a day or two presented the
check at the union depot The bag
gageman trundled out to the lady an
old dilapidated wheel. whose rider
could only have been a male. But as
the check held by the lady and that
on the wheel were identical, the agents
were forced to present the wheel to the
applicant, although she declared it was
not her property. The road detectives
were informed that fraud had been
practiced. They looked over the wheel
and found 1t was the Monitor. and
bore the number 16427. The makers In
Chicago were advised Of the fraud.
and sent word that they had sold that
particular wheel to a retail dealer at
Union City, 10. The latter firm were
in turn questioned, and it developed
that they had sold the wheel of that
number to q certain resident Of that
town. The detectives Of the road
worked quietly and found that during
the encampment the man in question
checked his wheel to st. Paul, and a
few weeks later he received by ex-
press from Pennington, Mimi, q
woman's wheel The latter, after con-
siderable accommodating, was found in
his possession, and it was identified by
the lady who originally owned it. The
man claimed the wheel had been given
to him by baggageman, and as the
company could not prove otherwise
they let the fellow off on his agree
ment to pay all the costs of the in
vestigation. The company's officers,
however, believe that the wheel was
deliberately stolen by the fellow, who
changed the checks at the union depot
In this city.

Western Association VIII Look Into

Soon 1t May.

The two great transcontinental lines
centering in st. Paul will change their
time cards Sunday to conform to the
usual winter conditions of travel. The
cards of the two companies will show
marked differences from those now in
effect The two transcontinental trains
have been leaving the depot within
quarter Of an hour Of each other for
months, the Northern Pacific leaving
at 2:45 o'clock in the afternoon and the
Great Northern at 3 o'clock. On and
after Sunday the Northern Pacific
Overland express will leave at o'clock
in the evening from the st. Paul union
depot and at TAO o'clock from Mime
apolis. The east bound overland train
from the coast will arrive in Mime
apolis at 5:15 and in st. Paul at 5:55.
Through sleepers will be run between
ST. Paul and Portland, and also through
tourist cars The overland trains will
pass through Helena, Mont, instead
of through Butte as heretofore, and
the passenger traffic to the latter city
will be cared for by a firSt-class sleeper
which Will be picked up at Miles City,
running through to Butte. The new
card will make a better arriving time
for Butte, Helena, Spokane, and it
will obviate the necessity of local trains
in Montana, and between Seattle and
Portland. The time between ST. Paul
and Portland will be three hours longer
than at present, but this is owing to
the difficulties of railroading on the
mountains during the winter season.

officials of the road have been working
upon the new schedule for the past

amount of hard labor. 1t is expected
that there will be no further interrupt
ton with traffic as the last break in

been repaired and at o'clock last
evening, trains could be run through
to the coast without delay or transfer.

NEwNIAN's CIVIL SERVICE
Promotes r. A. Willard to General
Agent Here.

The Great Northern local business
has increased so Of late that it has
been found necessary to return to the
old system which placed the st. Paul
freight traffic under the personal su-
pervision Of a local general agent.
Hence F. A. Willard has been ap-
pointed general agent Of the freight
department for ST. Paul, taking imme-
date effect The circular was out last
evening. Mr.. Willard has been in the
employ Of the Great Northern company
for several years, and during the past
two years has been contracting freight
agent at Minneapolis. During the
period in which St Paul has had no
regular general agent the duties of that
office have been looked after by Con-
tracing Freight Agent G. r. Capron,
who will now give his entire attention
to his regular duties. Mr.. Wizards ap-
pointment is virtually a promotion for
merit, being another of the several
instances already shown of the prac-
teal workings of the civil service in
