pers-Fighting for a Principle
Other Railway News.

The efforts of Chairman Midgley, OF
the Western Freight association, to
prevent a rate war between the Lake
Michigan Car Ferry Transportation
company and the various Chicago-St
Paul lines appears to be futile, for yes
terday the chairman wired the Chi
cago Great Western that it was very
likely there would be more trouble
The Car Ferry company showed its
hand yesterday, and it's determination
to stay in the game until the last was
evinced in the announcement of still
further reduction to take effect Aug
81, on a basis of 46 cents per hundred
pounds. The original cut from SIS to 81
cents on freight of class three to
class E, inclusive, goes into effect to-
day. and it was the action of the Great
Western in melting this rate which
brought on the cut to go into effect
on the 21st. The lines other than the
Great Western have not yet announced
a cut although it is likely they are
considering the project of so doing
There is a belief that the other lines
are waiting for the ferry company and
the Great Western to carry on the
fight to a point where they will be
compelled to enter into it, before they
do So
The Great Western has not made
the sweeping reductions genrally cred
tied. The cut effects more largely car
loads of commodities billed between
the terminals of Chicago and st. Paul
and does not effect merchandise, for a
cut in this would mean the readjust-
ment of all schedules between inter
mediate points, including points ia
Iowa, for shippers would not tolerate a
lower rate between terminals than be-
tween intermediate points and termin-
ais. A telegram received last evening
confirms the belief that the Car Ferry
company will fight it out, and insist
on securing the coveted differential at
any cost. The officials of the Great
Western say it is like a mouse trying
to annoy a lion. The road is ready
and capable Of carrying all the traffic
there will be, for nothing without seri-
GUS financial loss, and are confident
that the ferry company will be COM
PEELED ultimately to capitulate. While
the war is on, the shippers between the
terminals will, of course, have the ben
eft of very low rates between term
inals on such commodities as canned
goods, pickles, produce and all class
commodities in carloads. The cuts Of
the ferry company include rates on
commodities originating from points
east Of Chicago, as well as on first and
second class freight. The railroads are
lighting for principal and will never
allow the differential which is claimed
If the ferry company establishes its
right to the claim of a lake and rail
line, there will be no telling where the
trouble will stop. That the Great West
ern will meet the second cut which
goes into effect Aug. q, goes without
saying. 1--WE will cut the rates in
two and throw both ends away be-
fore we will yield" was the way a
freight official put it yesterday to the
@ o be.

Them in Both Cities.
A special meeting of the general pas

at the Ryan hotel yesterday
morning by Secretary Chas Kinnan,
for the purpose of settling upon sew

and also where other railroad business
can be transacted The Ryan hotel
was selected as a location for the st.

busily engaged yesterday afternoon
attending to the details. The joint
agency in Minneapolis will be located
in the Office Of Secretary Kinnan, 805
Guaranty Loan building In both these
joint agencies the secretary and his
corps of clerks will extend until Sept.
81, all tickets presented before Sept.

depot was summoned to the meeting
and a matter of union depot facilities
was discussed at some length. 1t was
decided to build a temporary ticket
office in the union depot in st. Paul.
Holders of reduced rate tickets will
be expected to deposit the coupon at
the agencies established by the roads,
and to identify themselves fully when
calling for their return slips. The plan,
1t is expected, will prevent the manipu
la ton Of tickets by scalpers.

FILLED CHEESE FIGHT.
Big Manufacturers VIII Attack the
Tawney Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue John w.
Miller, is preparing to enforce the pro-
visions of the Filled Cheese bill''
which was enacted at the last session
of congress. This bill was the only bit
of tariff legislation passed during the
session, and it is expected that quite
revenue will be derived from the tax
imposed upon the cheese which is not
of the pure variety But it's validity
will be contested The filled cheese act
will go into effect the 4th Of next
month. Under its terms all substances
such as skinned milk, with an adj
mixture of butter, animal oils or fats.
vegetables or other compounds foreign
to pure cream cheese, when manufac-
tured into filled cheese, are subject to
internal revenue taxation.
1t is understood that several large
manufacturers will pay no attention to
the law. This will result in a test case
at the outset. Senator Vest, of Mis-
souri,, is a firm believer that the act is
unconstitutional, and that 1t interferes
WITH the functions of state legislation
ana police power of the respective
states.
Senator Villas and other well-read
lawyers are prepared to defend the
constitutionality of the act A great
deal of filled cheese is made and sold
IN Minnesota each year.

CUSTOMS SCANDAL.
A Prominent Official in California
Is Involved.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1s.-During
the last six months, H. H. Moore
special agent of the treasury depart
ment, has been engaged in a systemat-
ic investigation of the management of
the custom house. That he has I'M
earthed extensive frauds upon the gov
eminent is evident by the fact that the
three or more employees have been dis
missed from the service, while others
have been indicted and are awaiting
trial for violation of federal laws. The
latest testimony secured by the special
agent drags into the scandal Collector
John Fl. Wise and his son, Harry Wise,
the first named being accused of know
ing that Ex-Chinese Interpreter Dick
Williams was making money by the
Illegal entry of Chinese, and the latter
with having accepted valuable pres
ents from Williams and with attempt
ing to aid him in an effort to intimidate
witnesses. This is a new phase of the
scandal that it is expected to bring to
a head the warfare that has been
waged between Moore and Wise and
to result in the removal of one or the
other of the two officials.

GOOD FOREIGN DEMAND GAVE THE
CHICAGO MARKET A STRONG
TONE.
CORN AND OATS BOTH FIRM.
UNDER INFLUENCE OF AN ACTIVE
WHEAT MARKET THEY CLOSED
HIGHER.
PROVISIONS DID NOT BENEFIT
Fair Buying Caused Rally During
the Days But Close Was at
a Loss.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Big export engagements
and the reported engagement in London of
gold for importation, caused strong wheat
market today. September closed at an ad-
vance OF Zee. Corn and oats were both firm
and closed PC higher each. Provisions were
weak and closed 21k@2Oc lower. Wheat, after
the slight weakness displayed In the opening
sales was firm all forenoon. The export clear
ances of wheat and -four from Atlantic ports
were very heavy, amounting to- $50 900 bu.
To this, more than anything else, is due the
advance which soon set In. The demand for
shipment was even more vigorous than 1t was
yesterday Forty thousand bushels of No. l
northern spring wheat we're sold for direct
export before II o'clock, and rumors of a
much heavier business having been done were
rife near the close. New York was relatively
firmer than Chicago all forenoon, and at 71ac
above the market for September wheat. Ca
bles were strong. Statistical news was not
all bullish. The Northwestern receipts we're
again heavy-heavier than last week, and
than year ago. The number of cars re-
ceiyed today at Minneapolis and Duluth was
S46, against FOG Wednesday of last week.
and 21S the corresponding day of the year
before. Comparisons of that kind will very
shortly be of different character from the
above for about this time last year the
movement i'm the Northwest for the phenome-
nal crop of that season commenced. Chicago
receipts were heavy. Bradstreet's report of
a decrease of 100000 bushels in the worlds
stocks was disappointing, and caused some
reaction in the last hour. The latest cause
for strength was the report that $1,000, 00O in
gold had been engaged in London for importa-
ton, and the effect of this was shown by the
advance near the close. September opened
a shade lower at 551sc, up to 557sc, back to
567sc, closing at 555eu55a4c. Trading in corn
was not sufficiently active to attract crowd.
September opened unchanged at 22Bc, and
gradually sold up to 23Ac, at which price it
closed. The better tone of the wheat and
corn markets was influential in creating the
advance in oats. September opened &c higher
at 17Ac, sold at tic and advanced to 171hc,
where it closed The provision market
opened somewhat unsettled at lower prices all
around but fair buying caused a slight rally
temporarily During the latter part of the
session the feeling was quiet and the mar
ket closed at net loss Of zoe in September

for Thursday: Wheat, 116 cars; corn, 44O

MILEAGE BOOK PROBLEM.
The Question Is Again Disturbins
Western Roads

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The Western
roads are having much trouble because
of the attacks that are constantly be-
Ing made on their mileage book bureau.
AT the beginning of the present year,
the roads adopted new regulations gov
erning the sale of mileage books, with
the especial view of keeping the books
out of the hands of the brokers. They
claim that this has been done very
effectually and that they have not had
a single complaint from bonafide own
ers of any of their mileage books since
the new system was inaugurated. The
latest attack which has irritated the
roads, is a story to the effect that
the large business houses in this city
have combined to force the present
mileage book out of existence, and as
a means of getting at the roads, have
determined to bring before the next
state legislature a resolution providing
