JOINT TRAFFIC PRESIDENTS.
Nothing but Rates Considered at
Their Meeting.

NEW YORK, April 8-A meeting of rail
road presidents was held at the office of the
Joint Traffic association here today. When
a recess was taken for lunch, Mr.. Depew,
who called the conference and is its chairman,
asked about the dOings up to that time,
but declined TO make any statement Com
missioner Blanchard said that no information
would be given out until the meeting was
over. Mr.. Blanchard expressly denied, how
ever, that the meeting had anything to do
with the recent supreme court decision that
declared the Trans Missouri Traffic associa-
ton illegal, adding that it had to do with
rates altogether. meeting Of the Trunk
Lines association was also held today. 1t was
given out that rates for summer passenger
traffic were being fixed. The meeting adj
jOurned shortly before 3 o'clock, when Mr..
Blanchard gave out a typewriter statement:
1.-THE meeting of today was a conference of
the presidents Of the trunk lines with the
presidents of the east-bOund railroads from
Chicago, and the board of managers, to con-
slider east bound lake and rail rates as COM
pared with all-rail rates from Lake Michigan
and Lake Superior ports. Other questions
were only considered incidentally and no
action was taken beyond a recommendation
that a meeting Of the board of control be held
in New York Tuesday next to consider
all subjects which might then be called up
in connection with rates, and the rights of
the association under the decision Of the
supreme court"

were Arthur McNeary, Leonard Fen

CONSERVATION Of most Of those stopped
in the mad career Of their silent steeds.
By order Of Chief Goss he was sta
toned at the foot of the Sixth street
hill with instructions to arrest every
rider violating the speed ordinance.
Throughout the day he patroled the
foot Of the hill, making regular trips to
the central station with a scorcher,
caught in the act"
Officer Doesel, of the Rondo street
station, did special duty at the top of
the hill to see that the bicyclists did
not take a flying start" down the
steep incline, but had little trouble, as
the riders generally husbanded their
energies for a squirt" through Officer
O'NeiFs territory. Chief Goss had di-
rected that no drastic measures be en-
ployed to stop scorchers who refused to
"parley" with the police, and conse-
quently number Of the reckless riders
escaped arrest by speeding by the blue
coats with a sardonic laugh, but their
merriment may in the near future be
subjected to a severe shock arising
from a meteoric like flight through the
air and a dull sickening thud which
will mark their return to earth, as the
result of the police inserting a club
between the spOkes Of their wheels. 1t
is not intended to inf1ict injury need
1essly, but persons riding bicycles have
no more right to resist arrest than or
binary individuals and the work Of the
scOrcher is to be ended at all hazard.
Chief Goss stated yesterday that
reckless riding through the streets
must cease, and that he had the large
majority of wheelmen, as well as every
pedestrian, back of him in an effort to
render public travel safe. A number Of
applications for appointment as special
police have been received from we'll
known bicyclists who desire to assist
the department in it's work; and Chief
Goss. states that he will recommend to
the mayor that they be accepted.

RATES FROM BUFFALO AND OTHER
NEW YORK POINTS AN
NOUNCED.
ARE LOW BY COMPARISON.
WHAT THE CHARGES WERE AT
THE OPENING OF LAST
YEAR.
If Railroads Do Not Force Figures
to the Point Where They'll Lose
Money

Several lines issued tariffs yester-
day on west-bound freight and mer-
chandise from Buffalo. Black Rock,
Tonawanda and Depew, N. Y, to
Cleveland, Gladstone, Detroit. the Twin
Cities and the head of the lakes, which
will excite considerable comment in
view of the remarkable falling off be-
tween the new rates and the CORE
spending opening rates last year. In
1896 the opening basis was 70 cents;
this year the basis is but 81 cents.
The lines issuing the tariffs are the
500 Line, in connection with the Min
neapolis st. Paul & Buffalo Steamship
company, via Gladstone, and the North
ern Steamship company in connection
with the Eastern Minnesota, Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, and
the ST. Paul & Duluth railroad The
lines have issued the same rates both
on merchandise and commodities, the
new tariffs taking effect April Il.
The rates are exceedingly low in COM
parison to those of past years, as will
be seen by the following schedule:
From Buffalo and common points to
st. Paul and Minneapolis and common
points, Class /, 81 cents Glass 2, Al
cents; Class 8. SO cents; Class 4, "a
cents; Glass 5, 20 cents; Glass 6, Is
cents.
From Buffalo to Duluth and Superior,
Class 1, SO cents; Glass 2, 81 cents;
Glass 8, "a cents; Glass 4, 10 cents;
Glass 5, 16 cents; Class 6, Is cents.
From Cleveland the basis to the
Twin Cities will be 4S cents, and to
Duluth SO cents; from Detroit to the
Twin Cities 4S cents, and Duluth 33
cents in both instances the same as the
Cleveland rate. The commodity rates
also show a very marked falling off,
fully in proportion to the reduction in
the merchandise scale.
The opening rate last year from
Buffalo to st. Paul was on the fol-
lowing scale for the six classes, re-
spectively, 70 cents, 60 cents, 40 cents,
80 cents, % cents and II cents. But
that was before the railroads COM
menced to cut. The rail lines have
now placed in effect a 75-cent scale,
and the rates quoted by the two steam
ship companies above are made to meet
the competition of the rail lines. A
Well-known freight official said to a
reporter for the @ | o b yesterday that
he did not believe there would be any
further reduction of the 51-cent scale
from Buffalo, as the railroads were al
ready losing money, and would not
force competition to further extremes.
1t is easily to be seen that, with freight
moved from the SeabOard to Buffalo by
canal at very low rate. and from
Buffalo to st. Paul. on 51-cent basis,
that the boat lines will secure a liberal
per cent of the patronage.

SAINTS OFF FOR LOUISVILLE r..

Special to the Globe
CINCINNATI o., April S.-President Comis-
key and his St. Paul players left here by
boat for Louisville late this afternoon A
rain, which started early this morning and
was still in progress when the players left
prevented the second game with the Reds
Had the game been played a large crowd
would have witnessed it, as the great show
ing made by st. Paul yesterday has aroused
the fans and they were anxious to see the
team that is expected to win the Western
league pennant this year. There are still
four players missing from Comiskeys camp
Hon Frtcken, Nyce, Frank Kraus and Harvey
Parker. The former two are expected to
join the team in Louisville, while the latter
two are sulking. Comiskey said this after
noon that he was not worrying very much
about either Kraus or Parker. If they want
ed to play with the team all right. and if they
didn't he thought it would be all right, too
There were naturally many sore muscles and
stiff arms as a result of yesterdays game
but the players believe that if they can
get few days warm weather they will soon
be in condition. Comiskey expects to win at
least one game from the Louisville team
President Ban Johnson accompanied Comiskey
and his men to the boat which carried them
to Louisville, where they are expected to ar
rived tomorrow morning.

SWITCHING CHARGES.
Old Question Taken Up by the IIIf-
nOis Railway Commission.

CHICAGO. April S.-The state board of
railroad and warehouse commissioners met
today to consider the charges of extortion pre-
ferred by the Chicago live stock exchange.
The complaint is an outcome of the old fight
against the roads for their switching charge
Of 81 per car at the Union stockyards in this
city. The matter has been fought in the
courts, and, although Judge Grosscup in the
lower federal court declared the charge to be
illegal, he was overruled by the court of
appeals
The state authorities took the same view of
the matter as Judge Grosscup and the roads
agreed to drop the charge on state business,
but at once increased the charge proportion
ately on business from outside the state, so
that they now receive the same aggregate
revenue as before. This caused the live stock
exchange to prefer charges before the rail-
road and warehouse commissioners Both
sides were prepared for a hot fight today,
but the commissioners adjourned without
going into the merits of the case very deeply,
and the matter will come UP at a later SEES
sion.
The officers Of the Atehison road have de-
cided to relay several hundred miles of the
Atlantic & Pacific with new steel rails.
