TRAFFIC WAR RESUMED
Methods of the Southern Pacific
Opposed by Trunk
Lines.
Giving First.Class Sleepers on Sec
ond.Class Tickets Is Not a
Proper Practice.

CHICAGO. ILL, March 9.-The immi-
grant commission war between the South
ern Pacific and the lines which are mem
oers OF the Western Immigrant Clearing
house Is now on as vigorously as ever,
negotiations for the purpose of inducing
the Southern Pacific to join the clearing
house having been officially declared eff
indefinitely when advances had been
made by Huntington's road for confer
ence here on the question. The combined
roads will carry the fight into Europe,
which is the principal prolific field of ope-
ration for the Southern Pacific immigrant
agents.
Chairman Caldwell and the committee
OF the Western railroad passenger officials
who went to Montreal to get the Canadian
Pacific and the Grand Trunk roads to-
gether on the troublesome dispute of al
lowing differentials to the Canadian Pacific
on business to North Pacific coast points.
returned to Chicago to-day and reported
success, with fair prospect of permanent
settlement
Both roads agreed to restore the rates to
the old basis March 20, and within the
next thirty days the Canadian trunk lines
Will try TO agree on the amount of differ
entail which is to be allowed to the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad, although the Grand
Trunk contends its competitor should not
get any. If no agreement is reached in
that period, or if the Canadian Pacific re-
fuses to submit the question to arbitra-
ton, then the Grand Trunk will return to
the present status.
AS chairman of the Transcontinenta al
Passenger Association Mr.. Caldwell to-day
ruled that the Southern Pacific Railroad
had no right to sell California tickets from
Albany, N. T., and other Eastern points
and furnish frst-class sleeping-car tickets
to second-class passengers as far as Chicago
or Cincinnati, on the ground that no tour
ist sleepers are run between these points
in connection with its trains. This prac-
tice had aroused the ire and vigorous pro-
tests of other transcontinental lines. as it
made reduction OF almost So in the rate
of $S2 25 from Albany to California.

Race for the Sacramento Post

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 9.-To-
day Thomas Fox was appointed Post
master at Sacramento. He is the Sacra-

Stephens and Fox. Stephens was Post

appointment but Representative Cami-
netti recommended Leake, who was
appointed. Leake resigned to accept a
more lucrative situation at San francisco.
Mr. Stephens has been here for several
weeks looking after his own candidacy

dent Cleveland at National conventions,
was hopeful of being appointed; but Mr..
Fox was indorsed by Sacramento County
and the municipal Democratic committee
and by Senator White and Representative
Grove Johnson.

When that heavenly fluid must at any rate be

Stowe. Cal. This very worthy man was af-
ficted by the hand OF Providence with an ex-
crutiatingly painful as well as most malignant
disease. He applied to the grand old Hudson
Medical Institute, and, although his disease
was quite dangerous, he was of course cured.
They make no mistakes and no failures there.
But after going back to his work, Mr.. Taft was
a little bit indiscreet-he drank too much
water. But that has all been rectified now. He
tells the story in the following interesting let
ter:

handing them around among friends and sufferers.

Mr.. Taft was very sick man when he applied
for treatment, but he has found the relief that
thousands of others from all over this great
country have. The files OF testimony that are
in possession of the management of the Hud-
son Medical Institute is simply wonderful.
Here are few excerpts:
S. M. Hooker OF Los Angeles writes: sT now
feel as though I am cured and well man."
F. Minturn of st. Louis, Mo-: 81 desire TO ex-
press my sincere thanks for the careful and
conscientious manner in which my case has

feeling as good now as it is possible for a man
to feel"
Sd Bailey, Weaverville. CAL. 81 will now
state that after two months treatment with
you feel fully restored to health"
Testimony of this sort is very pleasant for the
great specialists to be receiving daily in great
volumes, and it shows that if you have a cura-
BILE disease there is no place where you can get
such SATISFACTION and PROMPT help as at
the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE.
