FIGHT AGAINST REDUCED RATES,
Companies Unite in an Attempt to
Restrain the South Dakota Rail-
road Commission.

SIOUX FALLS, s. OAK, Sept. 6.-The
application for an injunction to restrain
the South Dakota Railroad Commission
from putting into effect the rates recently
adopted came on for hearing in the Fed
eral court to-day. The roads joining In
the application are the Chicago. Milwaukee
and s.. Paul. the Chlcsgo and Northwest
ern, the Minneapolis and Omaha, the Elk
Horn and Missouri Valley. the Chicago
Darlington and Quincy, the Burlington,
the Cedar Rapids and Northern, the Great
Northern and the 500 line.

Grover of st. Paul, ex-senator c.. +.
Manderson of Nebraska. L. w. Bowers OF
Chicago, ex-Consressman Thomas P. Will
son of ST. Paul and w. B. Sterling of
Omaha were among the attorneys who ap-
peared for the railroads, Senator G. S.
Palmer OF Sioux Falls. Thomas H. Null of
Huron and Fred NJ. Brown of Rapid City
appearing for the com mission.
In their bill of complaint the compa nies
contended that they we're losing money in
the State and that any reduction in ra.es
would be contiscatory. The ommission
claims that their roads are operating at a
profit IN South Dakota. The discrepancy
arises over disagreement between the
mission and compan les in he division
OF profits. The commission claims that
enough credit IS given to South Dakota
for through business originating in this
State. The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul claim TO have lost $4,000, ,00S 90 in
South Dakota in the past five years. The
Northwestern claims to have lost $699, $50
during the same period.
The Commissioners say that this loss is
not real, but is the result OF artistic book
keeping. Judge Garland of the Federal
court said that he did not care to go
through the evidence and to listen to the
annual reports until he was satisfied that
the bill of the company was sufficient.
This was taken as an iptimation by the
court that be regarded the bill as INSULT
cient.
An adjournment was taken until to-
morrow, when this question will come up
for hearing.

TO SEND SHETLAND PONIES
n. A, Ross of Dixon Believes the
Sturdy Little Animals VIII Be
Valuable in Alaska

II. A. Ross, the well-known farmer OF
this place, has in conte p!ation novel
enterprise, which il carried out is likely
to pay well and introduce into the carry
ing trade OF Alaska new factor, says the
Dixon Tribune.
Mr.. Ross, at every one in this vicinity
knows, is the owner of large herd of
Shetland ponies He has always enioyed
handsome revenue from this source by
selling ponies to wealthy people in vari-
Gus parts of the State for use b. their
children. The original pair from which
the herd sprang were imported from the
Shetland Islands by the late George Nc
Kiuley. These islands are located off the
coast of Scotland and are very cold and
bleak
TO guard against the severity OF the
climate the ponies have a thick and
shaggy coat of hair, and as it has been a
clear case of the survival of the tittest,
they are far more hardy than the average
horse, mule or burro. In their native
land they are employed for both riding
aud carrying purposes, bearing the heavi-
est man or an equal amount of goods with
ease. They are adapted for use in the
AouHtdluS, dS luSlI lSiduu nome was
mountainous and rongh iu the extreme.
They are more rapid in their movements
than larger animals. and as they require
little feed or care, they are suitable for use
where very little of either is possible.
Due consideration of all these facts has
given Mr.. Ross the belief that the little
animals would be ad mirably adapted for
use in packing goods over the desolate
mountain passes of Alaska, and acting on
this belief he will take a portion OF his
herd, which includes 100 head. to Juneau
in the spring. That city is the distribut-
ing point for all the mining camps, and
he feels certain that he will be able to dis
pose OF the ponies at good price. His
experiment will be watched with interest,
as his plan is com plete reversal of public
opinion in regard TO Shetland ponies.
They have always been regarded as the
pampered pets OF wealthy homes, aid TO
divert them into this channel of useful
ness and under circumstances SO severe
and trying is a. startling as it is novel.

so much talk about the advantages OF this
route for quick and easy journey to
Dawson that nearly every Alaska steamer
has carried to Wrangei two to dozen
men who intended going in that way.
S. Hall Young, who left here the middle
OF August to try the Stickeen and Teslin
route, writes from Skaguay that he found
1t entirely out of the question to attempt
such trip. He says there are practically
no horses between Wrangel and Teslin
Lake and that the route is not fully sur
veyed. He found about 100 men at Tele-

AN iHTfRHAjf0KAL AFFAjR.
State Department Discussion Over the
Landing of a Foreign Cable
Line.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 6-OfficiaIs
of the State Department and of the At.
torney- Generals off ce have been confer
ring recently relative to the French cable
which lands at Cape Cod. The cable was
first laid under authority given by the
President, through Secretary Evarts, in
1879. and recently the French COM pany
has been replacing this line with a new
copper cable. This met with opposition.
and Senator Frye introduced bill to pre-
vent the landing of cables without the
assent OF Congress, while Senator Nelson
afterward offered another bill leaving the
question with the President. Neither bill
passed Congress. While this was under
consideration in the Senate Committee on
Com m cree the statement was made that
il the French cattle was landed pending
Congressional action a United States
revenue cutter would cut it.
Through the summer the work on the
caple progressed steadily and inform a ton
received here today indicates that the
last link in the line will be completed IN
midocean in about ten days, although
there may be delays owing to the delicacy
of this final operation. The American
connection at Cape Cod is said to have
been completed with the line running INFO
~ docean.
The question before the State Depart
ment and AtiorneyGeneral bas been as
10 the right to land cable of foreign
company. There appears to be much b
doubt as to law. or whether there is any
law on the subject. The French company
has urged that the line was renewal of
the cid line and not newline. Tney also
have pointed out in a com m unicaiion to
the Senate Committee on Commerce that
the line was of strateg C impor ance to the
United States, as it is said to be the only
cable which does n not pass over the British
territory. What if any action the new
Government will take has not been deter
mined so far as can be learned.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Sept. 6.-The feature
of the Labor day celebration in this city
to-day was an address by the Hon. w. J.
Bryan at Concordia Park.
The biggest crowd ever seen in the park
greeted the speaker. His speech through
out was enthusiastically applauded. Pre-
vious to the meeting he reviewed a parade
of 5000 laboring men. Mr.. Bryan spoke
in part as follows:
While find pleasure II participating In the

The labor organization has been one of the
most potent influences in improving the con-
dition of the wage-earner. Labor organiza-
tions are almost entirely responsible for the
fact that skilled labor wages have not fallen
as much as prices, although they have not
always succeeded in keeping employment up
10 full time.
