NEW NORTHERN PACIFIC DEAL
c. =. MeIIen Succeeds Il. w. Winter
AS President at Midnight
Railroad News.

Rather unique meeting of the rep
resentatives of the Northern lines was
held yesterday at noon in the office of
Paul & Duluth road.
No informal notice had been sent
out but the story was started by
somebody, exactly who nobody seems
to know. that there was some skull
duggery going on, and that some one
line had been making low-priced con-
tracts on flour shipments which would
lap over Sept. l, after which all the
Northern lines have promised faith
agreed schedule, 2212 cents per 100
pounds. Minneapolis to the seaboard.
When Messrs. Plough, of the st. Paul
& Duluth; Clark, of the Omaha; New
man. of the Great Northern, and I'm
derwOod, of the 500, met as above
stated, it appears that they agreed
that the tale was a canard and that
all hands were behaving very nicely.
They all declare that the meeting was
informal. and that after finding the
above true the gathering resolved it
self into an interchange of civilities,
with honors easy. The meeting lasted
an hour, and the dignified representa-
tives of the lines say that the flour
movement has begun, and that the
movement will for some time at least
keep pace with the output They also
say that they feel that the rate nam
ed will not be departed from by any
of the lines

Southern Pacific General Manager
Visits st. Paul

General Manager julius Krutscnnitt,
OF the Southern Pacific railroad, who
has been making a brief visit in this
city, left yesterday for San Francisco,
his private car Guadalupe being at
tached to the Great Northern train.
This official, who is accompanied by his
brother, E. B. Krutschnitt, a New Or
leans attorney, is just completing an
inspection trip, which practically end
ed at the Crescent City, and stayed
over day here to visit one or two of
his railroad friends and incidentally
see st. Paul, this being his first visit TO
the Sanity City.
He has been on the trip since Aug.
IA, and came from the South via the
Illinois Central and Milwaukee roads.
He is personal friend of Vice Pres
ident Newman, of the Great Northern,
who entertained him while here, and
yesterday paid his respects to Presi-
dent Winter and General Manager
Kendrick, of the Northern Pacific. In
speaking of his notion of ST. Paul, he
said yesterday: My brother and T
were born near the mouth of the big
river, and our visit to st. Paul is a
revelation to us in the matter of
beauty and commercial advancement.
If we had the leisure we would lose nc
time in getting to Lake Itasca, where
the river is said to begin it's long
course We cannot imagine to what
limit the civilization at that point has
gone, by the same token.
We have seen most of ST. Paul from
electric cars, carriages and on foot, and
have been treated most Hospitality by
some OF her representative citizens"

swAMPED WITH GRAIN.
Western Roads Are Not Able t
Handle the Traffic.


Handle the Traffic.
CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-The railway and
elevators in and around this city are
being literally swamped with the IN
precedent movement of grain from the
West. The railroads not only have
every box car in service, but are load
ing up stock cars and rigging up other
equipment in vain efforts to handle the
traffic. The st. Paul, Burlington and
Rock Island were blocked with grain
trains for miles out of the city yester-
day, and every siding is being used
for storage tracks. Over 5000 cars of
grain were offered for sale on the
board of trade. This means two days
receipts. The receipts of corn for the
same period were $500 cars. The bulk
OF the stuff is being contracted to go
East via water, and the demand for
vessel room is so great that the lake
rate from Chicago to Buffalo has adj
Vanced 100 per cent, or to 2 cents per
bushel, and boats cannot now be Sc
cured at this rate. The total ship
ments from Chicago to the East, via
lake, last week, amounted to 1919, 1873
tons, of which 1872, 266 tons were grain.
Total rail shipments to the East last
week footed up 61,SS4 tons, compared
with 57,623 tons for the preceding week,
and 63,179 tons for the corresponding
seven days of last year.

SAD RATE TANGLE.
Fare to the Coast Cut by the Rock
Island.

CHICAGO, Aug 3O-The Western
roads have gotten into a sad tangle
over rates from this city to San Fran
cisco on account Of the letter carriers
convention, which was to have been
held there next month. Last Saturday
all lines cut the round trip rate to
$3.50, and today the Rock Island an
nounced that it would put in a round
trip rate of $3.50. The letter carriers
are also in a fight over the location of
their gathering. The excursion COM
mittee insists that the convention shall
be held at San Francisco as originally
planned, while the president of the
association says that it shall convene
in Chicago. Late today the postmaster
general telegraphed the superintendent
of the railway mail service that the
convention must be held in this city
The Rock Island says that it reduced
the rate at the suggestion of the
Southern Pacific, and that it will can
eel the same, if the convention takes
place in Chicago.

Redwood Murderer Tells the Story
of the Shooting.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Aug. 3d.
1t develops that the shooting of Fitz
Juehne by Gus Metag, a short account
OF which was sent yesterday, was the
result of quarrel over crops and land.
The story of the crime as told by
Metag yesterday, divulges a neighbor's
quarrel. Metag is a wealthy farmer,
but wanted more land and rented from
Juehne. The crop was harvested and
stacked and Metag wanted to thresh
Tuesday, but Juehne wanted the plow-
ing done first. After dinner yesterday
Metag drove over to Juehnes bachelor
shanty and attempted to persuade him
to have the threshing done Tuesday.
Juehne was obstinate and refused,
finally telling Metag if he would leave
his buggy he would thrash him, Metag
jumped up and Juehne made an at
tempt to hit him, but Metag pulled
shots at Juehne's head, all taking eff
feet and killing Juehne instantly.
Metag says that Juehne was a
troublesome person and that he never
went to his farm without carrying a
gun. Some neighbors corroborate Me-
tags statement. Metag has wife and
six children.
Coroner Gibson left for the scene Of
the homicide last night.

EDGEMoNT HAS A GOLD CRAZE.
The Yellow Metal Struck in Paying
Quantities in n Sewer.

EDGEMONT, S. D., Aug. 3O.-While
eXcavating for a sewer in Edgemont,
fine sand was encountered, and old
miners who saw it believe it carried
gold. A pan was washed and gold was
found. Dirt was carried to the lake by
several people and in all cases large
cClors were found. Expert miners de-
clare that the diggings, with the re-
suits of the paintings, would give $40
per day to the man. 1t is supposed that
the old channel Of the Cheyenne river
has been struck, and the citizens are
looking anxiously for unoccupied
ground.
The agent for the Edgemont company
is awaiting further developments before
allowing any lots to be sold along the
line of the sewer. Present owners of
lots are fearing that it would be a
question whether they can hold their
property under placer laws. Merchants
and others are wild over the prospects,
and closed their stores to pan gold.

brought before the Paris tribunal, he said,
were decided against the United States on sew
eral points. Mr.. Beique took issue in certain
respects with the statement of the United
States brief, that the scope of the conven-
ton was limited by its own statements. The
speaker contended that the United States was
liable, by the decision of the Paris tribunal,
for all damages caused by the claims of that
country to control over fur seals. The admis-
sion of the United States of certain liability
was an acknowledgment of the desire of
that country to make ample reparation for any
damage suffered by the action of that country.

BOGUS G. A. r. TICKETS.
They Are Being Presented to- the
Western Roads.

CHICAGO, Aug 3O.-The chairman of the
Western Passenger association has discov-
cred that return portions of Grand Army
tickets, reading west Of Chicago, are being
presented with a rubber stamp Endorsement
on the back, as follows: Good to return be-
fore Sept. /" The Endorsement bears no
signature and is spelled incorrectly. The
tickets have not been executed at Buffalo, and
are believed to be the work of brokers.
Chairman Caldwell has advised all lines of
the association to refuse to honor the bogus
tickets. The Manistee & Northeastern road
has Joined the eastbound lines in an inter-
changeab!e mileage ticket compact.
Leading ticket scalpers of this city say that
their association is preparing to make a de-
termined fight against the enforcement of the
New York anti-scalping law, which is to go
claim the law will not hold good for the rea-
son that legislatures have no right to legis-
late against interstate commerce or transpor-
tation. Many prominent Chicago passenger
officials are of the opinion that the brokers'
position is the correct one.

SITE FOR ARMoR PLATE MILL.
Duluth and Superior Unanimous in
Their Choice.

Their Choice.
DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 3O.-The
movement to secure for this city and
Superior the proposed government
armor plate plant is waxing strong.
The newest part of the movement is
the committees unanimous choice of
Clough island for the location of the
plant. Clough island, the committee
and large number of those not inter-
ested believe, is an ideal place for such
plant. 1t is a tract of good, flat
land, 600 acres in size, seven miles up
the st. Louis river, with the stream
navigable by any boat that enters the
harbor, up to and past the proposed
site.
This would secure the plant from any
molestation in case of war and with the
large deposits of iron ore back of this
city, even should this territory be sur
rounded by an enemy on land and
water the government could go ahead
and not only make it's plates, but build
its ships right here.
The idea of advocating Clough island
as the place to locate the plant was
made public by the committee only to-
day, and already the citizens are TAX
ing the matter up enthusiastically.

SCHEME OF COERCION.

meeting of the executives, called by
Chairman Caldwell in Chicago to do
that which the passenger men admit
they could not accomplish, namely, per-
suade the weaker Chicago lines to re-
enter the bureau.
AS already stated in this column, the
weaker lines show little disposition to
again become members, and the
stronger lines are very anxious to
change this and get them in.
1t is said that the weaker brethren
have even been threatened with dire
consequences should they resist the
plea of the executives, but the meet
ing today may throw some light on
the subject.
