FLETCHER on BANKRUPTCY.
Minneapolis Congressman Talks to
His Constituents Regarding the

A few members OF the Union League met
last evening at the Union League building
and informally discussed the bankruptcy bill
with Representative Fletcher. Mr.. Fletcher
presented the league with copoies of the
bill as amended at the present session Of
congress. He said that the bill had passed the
senate and was referred to the house just
prior TO the holiday adjournment, and, after
a few appropriation bills, would be given
the preference. He gave ii his opinion
that the bill will be passed in some form
but that the probabilities are that a con-
ference committee will be appointed. the
bill, as the senate has passed it, will hardly
pass the house.
Mr.. Fletcher requested that the league
appoint a committee to consider the bill, and
make whatever suggestions occurred to it,
which he would be glad to present before the
house or the conference committee, in case
one IS appointed.
The following committee was appointed for
the purpose, william Eustis making the
nominations: VI. II. BouteIl. J. H. Cook
". S Dwinell, ]. D. Shrer and F. B. Wright.

Of John Lideu and Charles Brown on Tween
ty-ffth street Wednesday night, is resting
easily at the city Hospital and is not com
sidered to be dangerously shot The hos
pital physicians have great hopes of his re-
covery, and it is believed that no hemor-
rhage will follow. The bullet has not been
located as yet and it is thought that for the
present, it will not be necessary to probe
for it. The police are still at sea in regard
to the identity of the robbers and it is
thought that they have left the city. There
were eight other men in the saloon at the
time the masked men entered, but none of
them but King dared resist the order to hold
up his hands. King was shot in the eft
breast The resistance scared the robbers
off without any further attempt to rob the

Angry at the Action of the Joint

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-The wrath Of the West

export corn rates from Chicago, announced
by the Joint Traffic association, is on the
increase, and threats are being made OF ac-
ton by the Western roads that will compel
the Eastern lines TO treat them in a diff
ferent manner. Nothing has happened in a
long time that has so angered the freight
officers OF the Western roads as the making
OF the same rates from Aussiss ppi river points
TO the Atlantic seaboard. as from Chicago TO
the seaboard, on export corn. The fact that
none OF the Western roads believe that the
rates made by the Joint Traffic association
will be maintained for any length Of time
is the one restraining influence that pre-
vents the Western roads in taking matters
in Their own hands ard making things very
warm for the Joint Traffic Ines. II the
Eastern roads maintain the rate after the
