CHICAGO JoBBERs saUIRM.
They Do Not Relish the SOO,s Cut
in Rates.

Chairman Midgley, of the Western
Freight association, yesterday advised
the ChicagO-St, Paul lines that he had
called meeting Of the association for
Thursday morning, Jan. 81, to consider
the action Of the 500 road in cutting
the. rates on merchandise from New
York and New England points to the
Twin Cities. There will be warm times
at the meeting. 1t is known that
chairman Midgley has appealed to
President Van Horne, of the Canadian
Pacific, to call off the rate, but the
appeal is apparently of no avail for
the reason that the Canadian Pacific
has covered up its tracks Inserting in
the tariff the fact that that road will
receive its usual proportion Of IS cents
TO Sault st. Marie. This makes it look,
at least on the face of the tariff sheet,
that it is the 500 road which alone
stands the shrinkage, but other rail-
roads do not believe this for a mo-
ment.
That the action of the 500 caused
the Jobbers of Chicago acute spasms of
agony. is easily seen by the following
from the Times Herald"
Western freight circles were in a condition
OF turmoil yesterday on account of a reduction
OF about 30 per cent in rates from the Allan
tic seaboard to Minneapolis and St Paul,
which the $500 line announces it will put
into effect in the near future,
How to meet 1t is the question Core
responding reductions on the part of all SIM
ply means a reduction Of revenue without
any CORRESPONDING increase of business. II
all do not meet it some individual line is
likely to do so, and a hard blow will be de-
lievered against the new Western Freight
association, which is now having it's first real
test of strength. So far Commissioner Midg-
ley has succeeded in holding the lines of the
association in check, but there is much grum-
bling over the restraint, and more over the
$500 lines action, which is considered alb
solutely unwarranted
To Chicago jobbing interests the action of
the $500 line is a serious menace. Rates
as between Chicago and St. Paul and the At
lantc seaboard are now so well adjusted that
the Chicago jobber can sell goods in the i'm
mediate Northwest to advantage. The st.
Paul jobber wants rates that will enable him
to sell in the territory which properly belongs
to Chicago. Chicago interests will certainly
fight against this and the results will be that
the rates from the seaboard to Chicago will
also come down. The ratio as between st.
Paul and Chicago will then be the same
now, and no one will reap any advantage.
The railroads, on the other hand, will be per-
forming the same service for remuneration
practically SO per cent lower than at present,
and there will be no increase in business.
For these reasons the action of the $500 line
is considered absolutely unwarranted.

SALTWATER NEWS.
No Tariff Wanted on Manila SisaI
EiberS.

Congressman Tawney, of this state, who is
Oh the ways and means committee, recently
wrote to Warden Wolfer, of this city, for
data to be used in arriving at a satisfactory
tariff binder tWine fbers for the pro-
lection of American fiber growers. The in
formation was forwarded to Mr. Tawney. at
Washington with q recommendation that no
tariffs be placed upon manila and sisal fberS,
inasmuch as these fbers cannot be raised in
this country, and large amount annually
finds its way to the farmers or Minnesota
in the shape Of binder Irvine, which was
sold at lower figure last year than ever
before. Of course. the amount OF fiber used
in the prison factory is merely small part
of that used annually in the United States,
but Warden Wolfer Is Of the opinion that
these fbers should be admitted free, in as
much a high tariff would naturally cause
a decided advance in the price of all COM
modities manufactured from sisal and MANILA.
American hemp and fax growers, however,
are not satisfied to let these fbers come in
free Of duty and will make a strong kick to
have a tariff placed upon them. Readers
of the | o b e will remember that American
hemp was used at the prison factory when
it was sfrstSsstarted, but it was soon dem
onstTated that Irvine could be manufactured
much beheap from sisal and MANILA. The
PRISON. factory, however, continued to
hempafoR several years, inasmuch the
-chipery purchased by the state was not
adaptedntocthe manufacture Of sisal and ma,
nilla twines. The factory was operated at
machinery was made, when the state began
manufacturing from foreign ibers, and the
output VI the factory mas since DeGn IN
creased from time to time by the addition
OF new machinery until the present time
when 1t aggregates nearly 4,CG0 600 pounds
annually. Warden Wolfer is of the opinion
that a tariff on these ffbers would prove det-
rimental to the farmers of this state and has
therefore urged that they be placed upon the
free list.
The board of prison managers recently au-
thorized the purchase of twelve new spinners
and two breakers for the prison binder
Irvine factory, and the machines are now
being put in place. The new, machines will
increase the capacity of the factory about
1900 pounds per day, giving it daily capacity
Of little less than 5000 pounds.
If the legislature is Wiling, the state Of
Minnesota will have a female prison. for 1t
is understood that a bill is to be presented
in the near future for the building of a.
female prison, in accordance with recon-
mendation made by Gov. CIough in his mes
sage to the legislature. Warden Wolfer when
asked what he thought of the project yes
terday, said it was good one and In keep
ing with the lines of advancement made by
this state in the past few years. He thinks
it would be wise to have the prison located
in or near st. Paul or Minneapolis. and to
have all female prisoners sent there in pref
erence to jails and other places of detention

PERRY GOES TO LOUISVILLE.
The Big First Baseman Not to Play
in Minneapolis.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 19.-At last let
ter has been received from President Mick
Young, which gives Louisville practically a
clear title to Perry Werdeh, the big first
baseman, who was drafted from Minneapolis.
Secretary Dreyfuss said that there now
no doubt that Werden would play in Louis
vile, and, while Chicago has not waived
claim to him, no further trouble is antici-
pated.
The section Of Mr.. Young's letter which
relates to the Werden case is as follows:
Replying to your question in relation to
an attempt by Chicago to transfer Werden to
a minor league club, would refer you to arti-
Gle 13 of the National agreement, which pro-
vides for such action, providing no other club
member of the league from which the assign
ment is to be made desires such player at
the terms of such player. This rule is clear,
and would be strictly enforced in your favor"
Secretary Dreyfuss said that under section
Is the Louisville management was entitled
to Werden, and would certainly get him.
Chicago" said he, never had any idea
of playing Werden, but wished to return him
to the Minneapolis club after the drafting
season had expired. President Young wrote
to President Hart three weeks ago for in
formation about Werden, stating that we had
drafted him, but has heard nothing
Mr.. Young's letter to Secretary Dreyfuss
also contained the assurance that Louisville
would be well provided with good dates under
the schedule arrangement.

THREATENED, 1T is SAID, ON THE
QUESTION OF SUNDAY
GAMES.
TALKED OVER BY MAGNATES.
QUESTION THE MOST IMPORTANT
ONE DISCUSSED AT CLEVE-
LAND CONFERENCE.
NEW CIRCUIT OF EIGHT CLUBS
Contemplated If New York, Boston
and Philadelphia Refuse to Take
the Desired Action.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Jan. lever
since Sunday there has been much
speculation here as to the meaning of
the conference attended by President
Robson, of the Cleveland baseball
club, and Messrs. Byrne and Abel, of
the Brooklyn club, and Brush, Of the
Cincinnati club. All the magnates
present said the conference was simply
held to consider the transfer Of play
ers, but that Sunday games were
touched upon incidentally.
An afternoon paper declares that
Sunday ball playing was the most i'm
portant subject up and that it was
discussed in a way which threatens a
split in the league unless those who
favor it have their way. Both the
Brooklyn and the Cleveland club want
to play Sunday games, the same as
Cincinnati, Louisville, ST. Louis and
Chicago have been doing in the past,
the reason assigned being that some
thing of the kind is needed to help out
the seasons receipts. It is asserted
that the managers of the New York,
Boston and Philadelphia clubs will go
prepared to make a fight against Sun
day games, and that they will have
the help of the representatives of the
Chicago and Pittsburg clubs. In this
case they would be met by the repre-
sentatives of the Cleveland, Brooklyn,
Cincinnati, Louisville, ST. Louis, Balti-
more and Washington clubs, and the
matter will be fought out.
If the seven clubs which favor Sun
day bail cannot win, it is said, they
stand ready to form new eight-club
league by taking in Buffalo and thus
make Sunday games possible. AS a
part of this plan, it is stated that
Brooklyn and Baltimore are already
arranging for grounds outside the lin
its Of those cities and no difficulty is
looked for in the other cities, because
of the interference Of the authorities
with the playing of Sunday games.
The afternoon paper declares that this
scheme was arranged at Sundays con-
ference.
President Robson was asked this
evening what truth there was in this
story. None whatever" was the reply.
mo fight of the kind outlined is an
ticipated at the coming meeting of the
league"
