ROUND THE WORLD RATES.
Proportion Belonging to American
Roads Reported Upon

CHICAGO. ILL.,. Jan. THE roads of the
Central Passenger committee finished UP
their work today and took an adjournment
until February 8, when the meeting Of the
committee will be held in Buffalo Two other
meetings will follow this meeting of the
lines, a tourist meeting on February f. and
a joint meeting of the Eastern roads and
those of the Central Passenger committee
on February g. At the meeting today the
principal matter disposed Of was the ap-
plcation of the Nickel Plate for a differen-
tial on the interchangeable 5000 mile tick
cts which have been adopted by the COM
mittee. The Nickel Plate made stong fight
for its differential, but the best 1t could
get was that the matter should be referred
to arbitration. The general opinion is that
the differential will not be allowed.
A committee of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION which has for some time had the
matter under consideration, has filed a re-
port upon the proportion Of the value Of
round-the- world-tourist tickets which should
accrue to the American roads. The report
says that the old basis of $9475 for the
American road rates should be continued.
OF this amount the roads between Chicago
and New York should receive S22. %; 5 1880
between Chicago and the Missouri river and
$50 from the Missouri river to the Pacific
coast.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. First cables advls-
ed the trade that the Liverpool wheat market
was weak at Ad lower. This was no sur
prise after the course of the market here
yesterday. Operators generally looked on
the news as more favorable than otherwise
inasmuch as it showed greater strength than
here, and moreover that the net decline in
Liverpool since Jan. l is not quite half of the
net decline here. Wheat opened at 12c ad-
vance over yesterday for May, but under pres

ported the Australians were again in the

wheat advanced 419c per bu yesterday. and to-
day they advise that CaIifornians are buying
wheat in Utah for export. Buffalo advised
that Boston houses had bought 100000 Blu of
wheat to go all rail for export. St. Louis
was free buyer in Chicago, and reported
good milling demand Chicago also advised
that there were large foreign orders at fig
ures slightly under the market. The Price
Current in this mornings issue throws cold
water on crop damage reports by saying that
the recent mild weather does not develop the
damage done by frosts in December, as pre-
vously reported The Ohio state crop re-
port, however, does show that the crop has

Route of the FOsston Line

DULUTH. Mimi, JAM THE Great
Northern road has filed with the land Of
nee maps showing the course Of the survey
for the extension through Minnesota from
Fosston to this city. The line as indicated
on the maps runs north of Portage Lake
and from point directly north of it south
easterly to the southern point of Ball Club
Lake, and then turns northeasterly toward
Deer river. The fact that at the southerIy
point Of Ball Club Lake the line changes
it's direction, is taken as an indication that
1t hoped that entry to Duluth from Deer river
Will, temporarily at least be made over
the tracks OF the Duluth, Superior & West
ern, and that the Great Northern has in con
temptation the extension of the line to the
Mesaba range to compete in the ore hand
ing business. 1t is not at all probable, how
ever, that the road will use the D. g G.
w. for any part of its line.

RAILWAY NOTES.

Fred Rogers, the genial ex-chef clerk Of
the Eastern Minnesota general freight de-
partment, left last evening via the Northern
Pacific for Walla Walla, Washington, where
he will assume the duties Of general freight
and passenger agent Of the Washington 6
Columbia River road.
News was received yesterday at the North
ern Pacific that the celebrated ''War-Eagle"
gold mine at Roseland. B. c., had been sold
to a Toronto syndicate for SIS, 900. The own
ers were residents Of Spokane, Butte and
Tacoma.
If imitation is really the sincerest form
of fattery the passenger department Of tho
Northern Pacific should be elated that Ar
mour & Co., the great advertisers, have re-
produced in miniature the Northern Pacific
''Wonderland' cover Of last year without
the consent, it is said, Of the railroad. Not
long ago the Nickel Plate appropriated an
original design used in advertising in street
cars, etc., without even sending on thank
you" General Passenger Agent Fee, of the
Northern Pacific, thinks this is all right and
that the gentlemanly appropriatos know
good thing when they see 1t.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. THE Northern
Pacific railway company, the new eorpor-
alton that purchased the properties ana
franchises Of the Northern Pacific railroad
company at the foreclosure sale, today filed
answer to the claim of the Illinois Steel
company for $64,2 4.76 for steel rails The
answer raises the issue raised by the North
ern Pacific receivers as to the validity Of the
lease under which the Northern Pacific com
pany operated the Wisconsin Central lines
and the Chicago & Northern Pacific terminals
by the decree of foreclosure the purchaser
OF the Northern Pacific property was made
liable for the unpaid Indebtedness that was
made preferential by the court and which
the receivers had not paid. The new COM
pany denies that the claim comes within
the decree. and that it was assumed in the
purchase of the road. The company alleges
further that the claim is not an indebted
ness or liability directed or incurred by the
Northern Pacific in the operation of its rail-
road.
