.wEsTERN ROADS REFUsE.
Will Not Make Low Rates to Mer-
chants for New York.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-The roads west
of this city have again refused to put
in reduced rates from their. territory to
New York for the benefit Of the whole
sale merchants of that city After two
refusals of the Western lines to con-
cede any reductions, Chairman King,
of the New York Merchants associa-
ton, wrote a very sarcastic letter to
Chairman Caldwell, of the Western
Passenger association, upbraiding him
and the officers of the Western roads
for discriminating against New York
merchants Chairman Caldwell, on be-
half of the Western lines, today answer
ed Mr.. King in pretty strong Ian
guage, saying among other things, that
the Western roads see no reason for
selling reduced-rate merchants tickets
from the West directly through the sec
end largest city in the country to New
York, which, if done, would not only
be absurd, but would be manifestly un-
just to the great commercial interests
of this city which furnish the West
ern lines the bulk of their freight busi-
ness. Mr.. Caldwell says no such rates
have ever been ordered and he sees no
reason why they should be put in now,

TOURIST RATES TO THE Buzz
FALO ENCAMPMENT.
THINKS RATES LOW ENOUGH.
REFUSES TO FURNISH FIRST-CLASS
SLEEPING CARS AT TOURIST
RATES.
HUNDREDS OF VETS WILL GO
Over the Various Roads Leading Out
of the Twin Cities-SOme Lines
Are Cutting.

The Milwaukee road has given formal
notice that it will not, under any cir
cuinstances, put in commission first
class sleepers at tourist car rates for
the accommodation of G. A. r. busi-
ness. Officials of the road say that
the rates are far too low already to be
shaded. Thus one road at least has
declared itself against extending any
further faVOrS to the members of the
Grand Army, and those who wish to
avail themselves of the reduced rate
to Buffalo during the Grand Army en-
campment.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis, which
has been named the official route, will
run commissary car from which meals
will be served without charge to the
veterans and their friends en- route.
This train will go direct through to
the city by the lake shore, and as al
ready stated in this column will con-
sist of four standard sleepers, four
tourist sleeperS and chair car. De-
partment Commander Wood, the mem
bers of his staff and about $50 veterans
will go East via this route.
Possibly 1000 will go from the two
cities, availing themselves of the eX-
ceedingly low rate. The 500 special
will leave about the same time as the
official train, and will be made up Of
eight coaches The 500 has been made
the official route for Dakota. Assis-
tant General Passenger Agent Thorn
will accompany the veterans.
The Great Western will send out its
special train early on Sunday and will
pick up delegations of the G. A. r.
alcng the line. The other lines running
out of here will find it necessary to at
tach extra sleepers to accommodate the
business.
The Wisconsin Central has secured
Acker post and a large following will
accompany the members of this or
ganization. The Wisconsin Central
train leaves Sunday evening.
The statement was made yesterday
that the Omaha had given notice that
it would run emergency tourist cars
for the G. A r. business. These sleep
ers are in reality old first-class sleepers,
and this action of the Omaha will be
met by all lines, save, possibly, the
Milwaukee.
The giSt of the whole thing is that
the question of age enters into the mat
ter. A pretty query is just how old
sleeper has to be to be called "old."
Four lines desiring to get the business
will use first-claSS SleeperS, and thus
it will be seen that the rate will be
shaded by the giving of a tourist rate
on an almost new equipment.

SULLIVAN SEEKS REVENGE.
VIII Rum for Mayor of Boston to
Beat Josiah Quincy.

VIII Rum for Mayor of Boston to
Beat Josiah Quincy.
BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 20.-John L.
Sullivan will run as an independent
candidate for mayor of Boston this
fall, with the avowed intention, if not
himself elected, of beating Mayor Josiah
Quincy, who will be the regular Demo-
cratic nominee for reelection. When
Mayor Quincy refused to shake hands
with John L. Sullivan, a native of Bos-
ton at Oarsman Ten Eyck's reception
in Faneuil hall, he committed what
may prove to be a fatal political mis-
take. Sullivan was dumbfounded. Ac-
cording to one of the mayors official
organs, the big fighter was easily the
idol of the occasion. The crowd chased
and cheered him. Ten Eyck was al
most ignored at times. ~
Sullivan'S amaZement at the slight
gradually changed to anger; anger has
become vindictiveness. At first, after
thinking the matter over, he was In
clined to content himself with support
ing an anti-octopus nominee like Mr..
Wardner, or Judge Slanker. Now he
has crossed the Rubicon and put his
foot through the bridge timbers. John
L. Sullivan will ask the support of his
fellow citizens at the polls. At one
time he could have gone to congress,
but he declined. Then his professional
duties were in the way. Now he feels
that he can spare the time to serve his
toWnSmen.

manager of the Great Northern, and
later vice president and general man
ager of it's lines at Seattle, was in ST.
Paul yesterday en- route for the West,
where he has son also engaged in
the railroad business, being employed
by the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific.
Mr.. Shelby has large cattle and
fruit ranch in Idaho, but will probably
not go further west than Butte. It
is whispered that since he is out of
railroading, he has political aspira-
tions, and that he is at present willing
to be appointed to some government
position in the gift of the president.
He will probably start for the West to-

SALTWATER NEWS.
Joseph PerrO, Pioneer of Mime
sofa, Dead.


sofa, Dead.
Joseph Perro, whose Hines in an acute form
has extended over period of four months,
died Thursday night at his home in the
town of Baytown, where he had resided
for many years. A couple of years ago Mr..
kidneys, being man of wonderful physique
and endurance, he never would permit his
family to believe that he was really ILL.,
In April last. however, he grew worse sud-
denly and when compelled to take to his
bed, he for the first time admitted that he
was ILL.,: Since that time he has grown worse
gradually and his illness baffed the skill
OF the best physicians in this community. Mr.
Perro was probably one of the best known
early residents of this state. He born
in Kaskaskia, Ill, in July 1918, and in 1874
came to the st. CroiX and located at Marine
where he engaged in rafting logs At that
time all log RATS were foated down river, and
for many years he engaged in that vocation.
He was known in every town and hamlet
between Saltwater and st. Louis and his
friends were legion. His strength was mar
Velous and his tall stalwart form was of
commanding appearance. He was kind and
tender-hearted and his generosity won for
him warm admiration whe,e ever he was known
He retired from the river about % years ago.
but he loved nothing better than to sit down
and recall "reminiscences of early days. His
memory was excellent and few could relate
accounts of mere trying ordeals than some
he encountered. He was loved and admired
in this community and the news of his death,
although expected, was none the less sad
to his host of friends and acquaintance. He
is survived by widow and eight children,
two of his sons, Henry and Ed, being resi-
dents of st. Paul The funeral will be held
tomorrow and the interment will occur at
South Saltwater.
The Musser departed yesterday with raft
of logs for the Empire Lumber company, Wi
mona.
The Saltwater pension board organized
Thursday by the election of Dr. W. h
Pratt president, DR.. T. G. Clark as sec
retary and DR.. Stevens as treasurer.
