This agreement on the part of the
St. Paul-Chicago lines to maintain the

does not appear to amount to very
much. for the roads went at it yes

cured is to the effect that the men

the agreement full of holes, and will
lead to further decentralization in this
class of business until all the Italians
have come in out of the West for this
year.
1t is claimed that the weaker lines
made the first break from the tariff,
and this led to the rate made by the
Burlington. The shopping was done by
several leaders instead of by the en-
tire gang, and operations were kept
rather quiet. They claim that they
were offered $5.75, and so on down to
50, when the Burlington stepped in and
captured the business. Representative
of the other strong lines are naturally
Fut out and vow that, if the agreement
is to be thrown down, they mean to

an absurdly low figure There prom

LAND GRANT CASE.
The Decision of the Court of Ap-
peals Confirmed.

pealS Confirmed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The United
States supreme court today rendered
All opinion against the railway COM
pany in the case of the Southern Pa
cif1c Railway company VS.. the United
States, brought here from the circuit
court of the Ninth circuit. The case
involved about 100000 acres Of land in
Southern California and grew out Of
the fact that the forfeited land grant
of the Atlantic & Pacific Railway COM
pany was overlapped to some extent
by lands claimed under government
grant by the Southern Pacific. The
Atlantic & Pacific company originally
claimed the lands in controversy and
it's original maps of location along the
line Of these lands were accepted by
the land office, but congress declared
the land forfeited, and thereupon the
Southern Pacific, whose grant over
Tapped that of the Atlantic & Pacific
company, set up title to the lands.
The circuit court, however, decided
against. the Southern Pacific and the
supreme court today affirmed that de-
cision so far as concerns the railroad
company, but remanded to the lower
court for decision the case of about 200
persons who had purchased part of the
lands from the railroad company.

ANOTHER WILL CONTEST.
The Estate of Josephine Sanford in
Litigation

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 1S.-The
will of the late Josephine L. Sanford,
spinster, is to be contested. 1t was
filed on Sept. 20 last, and proved to be
a somewhat curious document as the
old lady left all her property to people
in no way related to her, and expressly
disinherited the members Of her fam
lily. This morning a nephew Of the de-
ceased, Charles E. Sanford, who ar
rived from New York last week, will
file the papers in a 'Isuit, to have the
will set aside. an administrator ap-
pointed and to have the estate dis
tributed to the heirs at law. The
estate is valued at between $780, and
$400,000 Miss Sanford died on Sept. Il
Of this year. Eight days later the win
was filed by two of the executors and
devisees under it. Almost all the prop
erty consists of a ranch in Contra
Costa county, known as the Los Me-
ganos ranch. Under 1.-THE will this was
to be divided as follows: One fourth
to Andrew S. Moseley, one-fourth to
DR.. Ellinwood, one-eighth to Attorney
Thomas l. Bergin, once eighth to Prof.
George Davidson, and the remaining
one-fourth to be held in trust by these
four gentlemen for the benefit Of two
relatives Of the deceased who are not

INDUSTRIOUS coNyfCTs.
Their Time Spent In Counterfeiting
HaIf-DOlIars.


PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Warden
E. S. Wright, of the Riverside peni-
tentiary, has discovered that a num-
Der of the convicts confined in the in
stitution have been manufacturing
counterfeit fifty-cent pieces. He has
unearthed the metal from which the
queer money was made, the moulds
in which it was cast, and the names Of
several convicts who were connected
with the matter, but as yet he has been
unable to find the man who originated
and carried out the scheme. The coun-
terfeits are magnificent specimens of
the coiners art. The die from which
they were made is almost perfect, and
the milling of the coins, which is the
governments chief protection Of metal
money from those who would initiate
it. is as near perfect as it is possible
for human ingenuity to make it, and
that such coins could be. made within
the walls of the Riverside penitentiary,
with the crude implements to be OBJ
tanned by the prisoners, is the startling
feature Of the case.
The counterfeiters had already Sc
cured a connection with outside par
ties and some of the bad money is now
in circulation. Warden Wright has a
list of nearly a score of convicts and
persons supposed to be connected with
the counterfeiting, and when the full
story of the crime comes out. it is
said, there will be some sensational
developments.

WATCH THE EASTERN LINES.
Agreed Advance On Flour Rates
Hasn't Become Effective.

\ Traffic officials of the western -four carry

he matter Of putting in effect the recently
greed upon advance in rates from Michigan
nd Superior to the seaboard. The advance

yhen the time came one line declined to put

he Western lines took similar action the
5th bLl it is said that the real reason was
heir unwilIingness to further reduce their
onnage by an advance from their territory.
The other lines have issued their tariffs,
ut the question is still open as to whether
lie rates have been really advanced or will
ance goes into effect. The increase from
Minneapolis to the East is from 221Ac to 25
ents, and. the whole matter may be left in
beyance until that date. There was talk
