RATES TO ALASKA.
The Claim OF the c. p. II. for u Diff
ferentfaI Ignored.

CHICAGO, Dec, 9.-The Western roads have
FOR some time been figuring earnestly on
the business that is expected to set in in
the late winter and the early spring toward
Alaska They have been doubtful whether
the purchasers of transportation would wish
to buy tickets through to Dawson City or
only to the ports the Pacific coast, and
today the roads took their first action bear
ing the question of Alaska rates. They
have decided to get out their rate sheets
showing through rates to Alaska, and will
Ignore entirely the claims of the Canadian
Pacific for a differential on the business. The
rates of the Canadian Pacific will not, in
tact, be shown in the sheet at all. In the
days of the old TranscOntinental Passenger
association the Canadian Pacific was allowed
Z differentiaI Of s. on its Pacific coast bust
ness. and 1t claims the sameSpow but the
roads Of the old association and those of
The Western Passenger association, as well,
say that the dissolution Of the old organiza-
ions, after the PRONUNCIATION Of the supreme
court decision, regarding the formation Of
pools and associations, absOlved them from
al further Obligations to allow the differe1
:ials Of the Canadian Pacific. The latter
road has reyer seen the matter in that light.
and it will make a fight that is very likely
% demOralize the rate to Alaska and the
North sea coast points.
The executive committee Of the Western
Passenger association held a meeting today,
but did not accomplish anything OF interest.
Is time being taken up by the consideration
IF routine matters. It is expected that it Will
get after the large matter tomorrow.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
First Meeting of the House Commit
tee for the Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The committee on
foreign affairs of the house of representa-
tives held it's first meeting today and out
lined it's line Of work on the several impor-
tant foreign questions now pending. Chair
man Hit announced the following subcom-
mittee to deal with Cuban affairs: Adams,
Of Pennsylvania Heatwole, Of Minnesota,
and Berry, Of Kentucky. The subcommittee
to consider Hawaiian affairs is Hit, OF Il
linois Cousins, of Iowa. and Newlands, OF
Nevada. The committee determined to re-
port at once the bill prohibiting American
citizens from conducting pelagic sealing in
reached that the bill would be pushed to
final passage before the holidays. It was also
determined that the members of the COM
mittee would call in a body on the secretary
of state tomorrow at II O'Clock.
Much interest was shown in the initial
meeting Of the committee as 1t was felt
that it might bring indication OF the gen.
eral line of policy toward Cuba and the other
subjects before it. Except, however. in the
announcement OF the Cuban and Hawaiian
subcommittee no reference was made to
either OF those subjects, as most of the COM
mtttee meeting was given to the question Of
sealing in Boring sea- On this question con-
siderable discussion occurred, which showed
a general sentiment toward restricting Ameri-
can sealers only in case Great Britain adopt
ed the same restrictions.
The committee found plenty Of material be-
fore it, on all the important foreign ques-
tons in the form of bills and resolutions
submitted during the extra session. but which
could not be considered at that time, as the
committee had not been appointed. On Cuba
all the phases Of the subject were represent
ed in the measures presented. The most i'm
portant of these was the Morgan joint resp
luton, which passed the senate at the extra
session. 1t recognizes a state OF war as ex-
listing between Spain and the Cuban insur-
gents and declares that the United States
will maintain strict neutrality between the
two be.ligerentS.

Some Roads Need More Than Two
Years to Equip Cars

Western roads would have preferred an
extension of three years. but they will do
their best to equip all their freight cars with
air brakes and safety couplers within two"
said a general manager who helped present
the case to the interstate commerce com
lowed by the commission for the completion
OF this work. Il am satisfied from what I
heard at the recent conference that it is
physical impossibility fer some Of the lines
TO equip all their cars within two years
am also satisfied that an honest effort to do
SO will be made. If failure results the roads
believe that another extension of one year

HOUSE PROGRAMME.
bankruptcy Legislation After the
Appropriation Bills.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9-Although
no formal action has been taken,
pretty general understanding has been
reached by the leaders in the house of
repre- sentatives as to the course of leg
isIation in the near future. This con-
templates the disposal of appropriation
bills as fast as they are ready for con-
sfde ration After these the bankruptcy
bill will be given the first opportunity
for a hearing. This measure will be
reported by Chairman Henderson, of
the judiciary, before the holiday recess,
but will not be taken up by the house
until after the recess. 1t is under
stood that Speaker Reed and the COM
nittee on rules Will be disposed to give
this bill every advantage in the way
of securing early time for debate.
1t is equally well understood that
for the present there will be no effort
to take up financial legislation on the
floor of the house. This is due mainly
to the fact that a strong impression
prevails among members of the house
that the committee on banking and
currency will not be able to reconcile
the many conflicting interests inside
the committee.
