IN THE ST. PAUL RATE SHEET.
ANOTHER MEETING CALLED FOR
THIS MORNING TO DECIDE
THE QUESTION.
DULUTH OFFICIALS ARE ON HAND,
Ready for the Annual Meeting-Sep-
tenlber Earnings of the North
western Roads Were Heavy.

The meeting of rate clerks held yes
terday morning in the union depot to
get out the belated quarterly st. Paul
rate sheet was anything but the rou-
tine affair which such gatherings Of
the rate men usually develop into. In
the first place sheet 21, which is still
current, took effect Oct. instead of
in August, and now the new sheet
should go in by the first Of next month.
AT the meeting the routing to points
en- or by the Oregon Short Line was
taken out on account of the Union
Pacifics action, and the issuance of
tickets via that line was prohibited.
The matter which proved stumbling.
block and which necessitated another
meeting this morning was the renewed
effort on the part of the 500 line to
secure the Introduction of it's rates
into competitive territory. When the
last sheet was put in the 500 people
were anxious to have their rates in
cluded in territory of the Milwaukee,
Omaha and Wisconsin Central lines,
but were urged not to insist on the
thing. This proposition was renewed
yesterday, and resulted in the well de-
fined opposition of the lines mentioned
to any incursion into their territory. 1t
was found necessary to continue the
meeting until this morning, when some
action will be taken one way or an

EDWIN w. WINTER NEITHER AF-

HAS MADE NO ENGAGEMENT, AND
CONTEMPLATES NONE AT
THIS TINE.
sTAMPs A STORY INACCURATE,
Which Says That j. PierpOnt Nor
gan Controls IA Large Number
of Railroad Systems.

Whether Edwin w. Winter, the re-
tired president of the Northern Pacific,
is to be made president Of the Union
Pacific when that big system has been
reorganized or not is a matter which
has either not yet been definitely set
tied or has not yet been made known.
Mr. Winter returned to st. Paul yes
terday after an absence of several
weeks spent in New York city, where
he submitted to the Northern Pacific
directors the report for the ten months
of the fiscal year after the reorganfza-
ton; namely, from Sept. 1, 1896, to June
/, of this year. He spent some days
. in Gotham, called on number of rail-
road and financial men, and left the
day before the Northern Pacific annual
meeting for West Baden, Ind, from
which place he has just come.
"I have made no engagement he
said, and 1 contemplate none at the
present time"
This was all he would say regarding
the story that he had been or would
be selected for the head Of the reor-
ganized property He said he preferred
to neither deny nor affirm the truth of
the story that he was to be made the
h6aQ Oh the GSOfSdIllZeu IOdO liz III
timated that he did not consider it
wise to decline that which had not yet
been offered, and altogether gave out
the impression that there was no
chance that he was to be chosen. At
the same time, Mr.. Winter avoided any
statement to the effect that the mat
ter had not been discussed in New
York, or that it had not been broach-
ed to him by those interested and with
authority. Mr.. Winter declined to even
discuss the affairs or condition of the
Union Pacific.
He did take occasion to say that
Chicago newspapers story regarding
the immense influence welded by j.
Pierpont Morgan in the possession or
control of numberless railroad systems
was much exaggerated and very mac
curate. This house in New York, he
said, undoubtedly had an interest in
many railroad systems throughout the
country, but not control of those men
toned in the list. The story, he said,
was inaccurate in many particulars
1t is Mr.. Winters intention to remain
in St. Paul for some weeks to come.

Foreign Affairs Discussed Only in
Informal Way.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The cabi-

the members except Secretary Wilson
After about an hours session Secre-
taries Sherman, Alger and Long left
the White house and the others discuss
ed with the president affairs in their re-
spective departments. Foreign affairs
were discussed briefly, nothing of great
moment coming up. The escape of Sc
nCrita Cossio from the Spanish prison
in Cuba, was mentioned during a ref
erence to Spanish affairs, but as there
was nothing official in the state depart
ment concerning the escape, the mat
ter was not discussed seriously Among
the papers which Secretary Bliss
brought to the White house, was a re-
port from Sheldon Jackson, who is on
the revenue cutter here, and has been
investigating conditions in Alaska
His report related largely to securing
Alaska reindeer, which he wrote would
serve the natives with both food and
transportation. He recommended that
a herd be located as near ST. Michaels
as possible.

VERY GOOD DIGGINGs.
An Experts Opinion of the KIon-
dixie Country.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct 12-
Henry Bratnober, the mining expert
who is known throughout the United
States from his connection with the
Exploration Company, of London, has
returned from the Klondike. His mis-
sion was to ascertain if an opportunity
presented itself for investment. He
says: II found some very good placer
mines, but not as sensational in the
richness as has been reported. In
many cases the claims are compara-
lively poor, although almost any Of
them will pay wages. Because one
claim is very rich is no reason why an
a6joipig one should be equally good.
On the contrary, the near neighbor-
hood Of rich claim is generally not
worth much. There are few summer
diggings in the Klondike, that is those
which can be worked by the ordinary
sluicing process. Most of the bedrock
is eighteen or twenty feet below the
surface, and the earth is frozen solid
except the eighteen inches or two feet
which thaws in the summer. On the
whole the Klondike may be classed as
very good diggingss a.sS 1 should say
there is a good chance for other dis
ecveries this fall. LAS to quartz min

for Exhibition Purposes.

There was received at the Great Northern
publicity department yesterday a consignment
of the products of the fertile soil of WILDLY

cited the envy OF some of the farmers who
till the exhausted lands in some of the older
states in the East A display of wheat from
a crop which brought a farmer, after
residence of year and a half from so to 100
bushels to the acre, took the form of several
sheaves the stalks of which were beautiful.
Some oats were shown the stalks of which
were nearly eight feet long, while a most
inviting array Of the apples which grow ON
the island included Baldwfns, Bell Flowers
and Wolf River, one of the latter weighing
exactly Is ounces. The whole was received
here by R. e. Workman, the promoter for
that section, and will be displayed here.
