II is true that the same statistics show that
the number OF deaths from insanity is con-
sidsrably less than formerly, and that the
proportion OF persons who become again

first witness. He was put through a
long siege of questioning in an en-
deavor to ascertain the basis upon
Which rates are made, the COMPARE

compared with Sioux City, and the
reasons why a distinction was made

OF the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, were still ar
irving when the sessions began The
general council after short morning
session, adjourned until tonight, when
it was expected that candidates for
offices and next place of meeting would

were elected members. Members of the
American Chemical society are visiting
the Detroit laboratories and manufac-
tories today.
The programmes of scientific address
ses and discussions before the several
sections of the association this after
noon were extensive, and for the most
part largely attended. Most of the pa
pers read were by specialists distin-
guished in their respective lines.

ROAD ISN'T TO BLAME FOR
DECENTRALIZATION
IN THE RATES TO BUFFALO.
ANOTHER DAY ADDED TO DATES
FOR SELLING G. A. II.
TICKETS. 81
JOINT TRAFFIC LINES AND 500.
Commissioner Blanchard says the
Northwestern Lines Have No
Cause to Feel Hurt.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The Chicago
st. Paul lines for some time have been
trying to fasten upon the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road the
blame for the decentralization in Grand
Army rates from Minneapolis and st.
Paul to Buffalo. Chairman Caldwell,
of the Western Passenger association,
has made an inquiry into the matter
and has announced to the other roads
that the Omaha did not make the cut
rates until after outside roads had
made them, and that there was, under
the circumstances, very little else that
the Omaha could do.
The Western roads have agreed to
add another day to the dates agreed
upon for selling tickets and will now
sell for trains that are to arrive in Chi
cago Aug. %, to make connections on
that day with trains going east from
this city.
Commissioner Blanchard, of the
Joint Traffic association, has notified
Chairman Caldwell, of the Western
Passenger association, that joint lines
have not been authorized to participate
in reduced fares for round trip tickets
issued on account OIL the MerCndnIS
association on account of any connect
ing line. They have on the contrary,
specifically legislated against the ac-
ceptance of round trip tickets and have
strongly protested against the proposed
action of the 500 line. Chairman Blan-
chard asserts that there is no cause for
the Northwestern lines to feel hurt at
the action of the Joint Traffic associ-
alton, as the lines of the latter organic
alton have no intention Of treating the
500 line or any other line better than
the Northwestern roads.
Chairman Caldwell has replied to this,
that the assurance Of Commissioner
Blanchard is not satisfactory. for the
reason that it does not state that the
Joint Traffic roads will refuse to honor
the tickets of the 500 lines. AS long
as they honor these tickets, and refuse
to honor those of the Northwestern
roads, Chairman Caldwell insists that
there will be discrimination against the
Northwestern roads.

SEATTLE WENT WILD.
When the GOId-Laden Steamers
Arrived in Port.


While he does not actually know
much about Klondike, G. r. Converse,
who for some time has been chief
clerk for Western Freight Manager w.
S. Benhan, of the Great Northern road
at Seattle, brings some interesting in
formation to st. Paul regarding the
conditions which exist at that place as
a result of the gold excitement.
Mr.. Converse explains that but one
boat has come from the gold fields,
and that it's arrival was attended by
such scenes as he had never before wit
messed The Madison Gable Car COM
pany lost four gripmen, and seven
conductors, while the Seattle and IN
ternational railroad lost two entire
crews in the mob which poured
towards Klondike at the first reports
of gold. The feeling in Seattle was so
strong that the ex-governor and ex-
attorney general of the state. and sew
eral prominent bank officials went to
the north. The population of Seattle

Dyea, and 1T was with great difficulty
that the boat was brought back again.
Mr.. Converse says that the superin-
tendent of the Cascade division lost
every one of his men in the flight to
the north The population OF Seattle
is $4,000 of which 1000 persons are pa
tiently waiting the means to get to the
fields. The exodus began, Mr.. Con-
verse says, directly after the arrival of
the first boat bearing gold out of the
north. Banks, offices and stores were
closed and locked, and all hands ad-
journed to the wharves to see the for,
tunate people who had braved the ter
rible climate in search of gold Then
on every steamer people began to leave
the town until help became so scarce
that the price of labor went up, and is
up yet, although a large number of
people have gone to Seattle since the
gold discoveries
Mr.. Converse discouraged the notion
of still attempting to get to KIondike
this year, and says that nothing can he

er Islander will leave Victoria. Aug Il
the Humboldt will leave Seattle Aug

steamers Mexico and Alki will both RIM

is expected that the AIki will make

In spite of this the opinion Is expressed
that 1t will be absurd for even venture
some people to try and attenpt tn

YOUNG TEN EYCK THERE.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 1o.-Interest
in the twenty fifth annual regatta of the
National Association of Amateur oarsmen,
which will be held on the Schuylkisi river
course next Friday and Saturday was
heightened today by the arrival of E. H. Ten
Eyck, the winner of the Diamond Souls at
Henley. The indications are that the re-
gatta will be one of the most successful ever
held. Many out-of-town oarsmen are al
ready here training for the various events
The regatta will mark the silver jubilee of
the association, and the entry list is the
largest in its history Among the crack
scullers who will compete, besides Ten Eyck
are Butch Thompson, Mcclure, Ryan,
Whitehead and Juvenal. Dr. Mcdowell of
Chicago who was defeated in the semi-finals
at Henley, is entered, but so far as can be
learned he will not race. This is a disap-
pointment to many oarsmen who are anxious
to see him try conclusions with Ten Eyck.
The senior eight-oared shell race promises to
be very fast. The University of Pennsylva-
MIA has entered the varsity eight, the crew
that rowed in all but two of the Poughkeep-
sic regatta, and Coach Ellis Ward is conf
dent of showing the other crew the way in
this event. All the visiting and local oars
men took advantage of today's fine weather
for practice SPINS during the day and even

FLOUR RATES AGAIN.
Meeting to Be Held Shortly to Com
slider the Situation

1t is very possible that unless the
interested lines meet in Chicago this
week, that meeting of the flour lines
will be called by Chairman Midgley
within a short time II discuss the
present unique flour rate matter. Dur
ing August the absurdly low rate of
171@ cents has been on the board. bur
the statement has been given out thar
this rate will never do when the flour
shipments begin. At the recent meet
ing the representatives of the lines
concerned agreed upon a rate but il
was broken almost as soon as made
and it appears now that when the
lines get back to the original agreed
price, 221a cents per 100 pounds. the
rates will hold, for, owing to the an
nual car famine and the desire to shin
their stuff, the farmers will be Glad
ito pay good round figures to have
their stuff taken to the markets Of the
world.
If the meeting is held here It vii,
probably be Thursday, and already
Mr.. Midgley has notified the roads
that one or two of the strong
lines have declined to meet the 500
cut. Most of the interested roads
have given the promoters of this
scheme the promise that they will not
accept business after Aug. 81, except
at the rate agreed upon by all the
roads.

Phillip was easy today and the leaders

DETROIT, Mich. Aug. 10.-Through
the skiliful work of Mullane and his
excellent support, Detroit suffered it's
first shut-out this afternoon in the
presence of a small crowd. When last
here Mullane beat the locals 8 to 1,
and but three hits were made off him.
This afternoon two of the hits were
scratchy and there was but a slight
chance of scoring at any stage. The
perfect playing was not limited to the
visitors, as the Detroits did not make
great game of ball. Not to dim the
luster of Mullane's wonderful per
formance Clarkson would have won
almost any ordinary game. AS it was
q base on balls and wild pitch by him
accounted for two of the runs. The
fielding bristled like a pOrcupine and
all hands took a crack at the SEN
sational work. Hollingsworth played
in fine form, a marked contrast from
Yesterdays blunders on his part, and
Glenalvin put up sharp game at
second, also being largely responsible
for three of the runs. Spies throwing
to second was good. For Detroit,
Hines and Delehanty fielded brilliant
ly and in all twenty-one assists were
made by the side. Davis made some
star catches and Nyce and Glenalvin
did the hardest hitting. Mullane had
a drop ball which badly fooled the
locals. Nyce singled in the fourth and
a wild pitch and Georges out put him
on third. Glasscock walked and Glen
alvin scored one with a hit. The ball
was thrown to first to catch Glenal-
vim off the bag and Glasscock stole
third, scoring on Spies fly. A triple

Earnings Fell OF for Causes That
Are Explained

CHICAGO, Aug. 1O-Advance copies
of the annual report of the Northwest
ern road were issued today. The fig
ures of the business done by the road
during the fiscal year just closed have
already been published. The decrease
in the passenger business of the road
was about per cent, and President
Hughitt, in making his report to the
stockholders said that this was to be
attributed to the decrease in first-class
travel. during the presidential cam
paign Of last fall. The dullness Of
trade during this portion Of the fiscal
year caused the falling off in the
freight earnings of about per cent.
The decrease III business during the re-
mainder Of the year was very slight.
