A Rate War MAY Ensue.

a demand made by the Canadian Pacific
is likely to cause considerable demoraliza-
ton I'm transcontinental passenger rates.
Canadian Pacific applied to the chair
man of the Transcontinental Passenger AS
ISOLATION for authority TO pay SD commits
sions en- round-trip tickets and SO on one
way. The application was based on the fact
that other roads were admittedly paying
these commissions 10 tourist agencies and
as il did not employ any it thought il
should have the RICH to pay the commits
sions on general business. The chairman
the arraI gements in connection with the
tourist agencies were in effect when the
Transcontinental Passenger Association
was formed and hence We're necessarily ac-
cepted and must be considered as having
standing under the agreement. While assu-
engagements with the same or similar agen-
cies upon assuming similar obligations they
have no right 10 ask through the associa-
ton authority to extend such payments To
other mediums. IL is believed the Canadian
Pacific will now take independent acton
and pay the commissions. which may give
rise To a rate war.

The Supreme Court yesterday rendered a
decision holding Thomas c. Day & Co. LA
BILE for $780, % which had been misappro-
priated by their agent, James {. Lavelle. OF
Washington, the man who instigated the
burning of the courthouse. Lavelle had
made a loan for Day * Co. to +. w. Doges
repay a school-fund loan which, as auditor,
ne had made to Doges. He marked the
.oan paid on the auditors books, but never
paid the money into the treasury, and
Doges was again compelled to pay it to
the county. The Supreme Court held Day
d Co. responsible for this misrepresentation
Of funds by their agent.

Henry Watterson, the gifted Kentuckian.
will appear at Plymouth Church tonight,
under the auspices of the McCulloch Club,
and deliver his lecture on Lincoln. He is
one of the best known speakers to-day on
the platform. This lecture on Lincoln is
said to be "a quiet. scholarly analytic pres
e~ntation of a theme which bristles with
material for philosopher and sage. Robert
Todd Lincoln says that Ii is the most life
like portrait of his father that has yet been
produced by any one. General Lew Wal

LIGHTS At CROSSINGS.
Not Compelled to Pay for
Are Lamps.

The Supreme Court yesterday decided in
the case of the Big Four against the city
of Connersville that it was within the
power of the city to compel railway COM
panies to maintain a sufficient light at their
crossings TO prevent danger, but the city
could not describe precisely what kind of
a light should be maintained nor could it
demand that a light be maintained of a
greater power than was necessary for the
safety of the crossing. The question came
up on the validity of an ordinance requiring
the company TO maintain at each crossing
an electric arc light of two thousand can
die power.

Company Wants Too Much.

The subject Of garbage disposition is in
statu quo. The Board of Public Works and
the indianapolis Desiccating Company have
not reached terms with regard to the cost
of removing the company's plant to Sell
lers farm. The company wants $500. This
is regarded by the city as too much. After
an agreement is reached the board will re-
advertise and hopes that there will not be
such a fiasco as there was before when the
Council refused to confirm the boards ex-
trayagent contract.

The Northumberland Lines.


No greater changes have been wrought in
the last five years I'm the condition of rail-
ways thar with the north and south roads,
not only i'm their physical condition but i'm
their earning capacity. A few years ago so
little was the earning capacity of the north
and south lines that IL was difficult to get
capitalists TO invest any money in them,
while the east and west lines could secure
al the money they required. Now the
north and south lines are eagerly sought
for investment. as is evidenced I'm the man
ner the Illinois Central has reached out in
the last three years and the enormous
amount of money ii has invested in ter
minal improvements at Southern ports. The
Missouri, Kansas & Texas has made re-
markable strides in developing business and
way, the Louisville a Nashville and the
Plant system have all attracted the atten-
ton OF investors in ailway and they can
now borrow money as readily as any east
and. west line. To be sure. it is Northern
capital that has largely developed the north
investments. but the opening of Newport
News, Norfolk. Galveston and New Orleans
has done more than anything tlse to bring
these roads to the front. and the tide of
business through these ports has become so
strong that ii is battling the efforts of the
trunk lines TO devise some method TO re-
cover their lost business. The Produce Ex-
change of New York and chamber of COM
merce of Philadelphia and Of Baltimore are
much disturbed over the turn matters are
taking with the north and south roads. and
this change is bringing a prosperity to the
dreamed of, says a well-informed freight
man.
