NEW LAKE-RAIL LINE.
Wisconsin Central Ready for Bust
ness Via ManitOvOc.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The Wisconsin Cen
the Great Lakes Steamship company, estab-
lished a lake and rail freight line for the
transportation Of freight between Buffalo,
Cleveland and other Lake Erie ports and St,
Paul, Minneapolis Duluth and other points
in Western Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mich
igan, via Mantowoc. Three vessels are in
service at the present time, and If the amount
of traffic warrants it others will be placed in
the trade and daily service established be-
tween the points named.
The Wisconsin Central has managed to lift
the freight blockade that has been troubling
Manitowoc, and where it, some days ago,
had fully a thousand cars stalled up, it
now has only a few hundred. and these will
be out of the way within two days.
At the annual meeting of the Burlington
road, in the carly part Of May, PROPOSE
ton will be submitted to the stockholders
providing that the fiscal year of the company
shall be changed to and on June 30 and be-
gin on July /. At present the fiscal year
ends and closes with the calendar year. 1t Is
also proposed to make a change in the date
of holding the annual meeting
The Western roads not confident OF
their success in keeping rates from being
demoralized as they were some time back
There is only a small amount Of business
moving, and all of the roads are after II
keenly. There is a growing disposition tC
get the business even if some sacrifices have
to be made in order to obtain 1t, and unless
the situation clears up within a short time
1t is almost certain that some of the roads
well be cutting rates and that a fight will
be on all along the line.

SPECIAL FLOOD MESSAGE.
Cabinet in Favor of Asking Action
of Congress.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The cabi-
net meeting today lasted a little over
an hour, and was devoted almost en-
tirely to the consideration of the ques-
ticn of sending a special message to
congress calling attention to the pro-
priety and urgency Of legislation for the
relief of the flood sufferers. Secretary
Alger presented all of the kilograms in
his possession from the governors of
the states in the flooded districts, and
the president placed before the cabinet
the data submitted by the delegation
which called yesterday. 1t was the
Unanimous opinion of the cabinet that
a special message should go to con-
gress, which is now in the course of
completion, and will go to congress to-
morrow.
The senate resolution, requesting the
president to protest to Spain against
summary action in Gen. RiVeras case,
in the event of existing reports that he
was to be tried by drumhead court
martial, proved, on iVestigation, to be
true, was not discussed The presi-
dents trip on the Dolphin, which was
fixed for tomorrow, may be delayed,
awaiting congressional action on the
special flood message.

TAKES THE PLACE OF POOLS.
Roads VIII Today Settle the Bureau
Question.

The general passenger agents of all the lines
west of St. Paul, St. Louis and Chicago will
meet in the latter city today to accept or
reject the plan for the reorganization Of the
defunct Western Passenger association into
the proposed new Western Passenger Asso-
citation Of Statistics and Information. The
general plan of the new association was hit
upon Monday, and the outline has been sub
mitted to the traffic officials and attorneys of
all the lines interested. In all essential feat
ures the proposed new agreement is similar
to the freight agreement adopted last week,
after the collapse Of the pools. The passen-
ger bureau however, will cover all territory
west of Chicago, St. Paul and St. Louis,
while the freight covers territory between
Chicago and the Missouri river. There is to
be a general executive committee Of seven
members and B. D. Caldwell will be chairman
of the whole institution of Statistics and
information 1t is believed the lines will all
agree to the outline proposed.
