TERMINAL CHARGES ABOLISHED.
Action OF Trunk Lines PIeases the
Western Roads.

CHICAGO Jan. 5.-The report from New
abolish the terminal charges in that city
is of great interest to the freight officials
in the West There has for some time been
an application before the interstate COM
merce commission asking that the trunk
lines be compelled to do away with the ter
minal charge but now the roads have grant
ed the demand made upon them without wait
ing for the action of the commission. The
western roads of the opinion that this
action would never have been taken if the
Eastern lines had not found that the competi-
tlon OF the Southern roads was getting to be
so heavy that they were compelled to take
the action in defense of their own interests
The Western roads have felt the competition
OF the Southern roads most keenly during
the last year and now think that the Eastern
connections will wake up to the fact that
they must fight hard to hold their traffic
against the Southern roads and ports and that
they will not be so slow to help them
in the future when they ask for aid in the
meeting Of the rates made by the Southern
lines on both freight and passenger traffic
via New Orleans and other Gulf ports.
1t is reported that the Northwestern is
about to build connection between it's main
line and is Ashland division at Oshkosh, Wis
The new line will be about twenty mics in
length and the building will commence at
Allenvll:e, Wis, in the near future.
New York Jan. 81. F. Goddard COM
missioner of the Trunk Line association to-
day denied that the trunk lines had decided
to take hand in restoring to New York the
export grain trade, which in recent years has
been shipped via Baltimore and other South
ern ports

WHERE RUMORS THRIVE.
Heard in Plenty Around General
Railway Offices.

1t is a mystery where rumors originate
The general railroad Offices of the city prob
ably produce more rumOrs than any other
like number of places in the city. Perhaps
one-half of the runOrs are absolutely without
foundation. The officials say a still larger
proportion are off in their reliability The
majority of railroad officials instead of feel
ing anger and resentment at the few incor-
rect rumors which now and then creep into
print, as rule feel some sense Of gratitude
to the papers for the great number which are
suppressed. railroad man as a general
thing feels that a railroad item Is interest
ing only to a nan in the business and many
are radical enough even to believe that not
more than twenty people in an entire COM
munity would be interested in the announce
ment that John Smith had been appointed
general traffic manager of the Mud Lake &
Short Haul road, or any other old road
Probably the officials do not appreciate the
fact that the community at large looks upon
them as quasi-pubHc men, or else they are
endowed with modesty in the superlative de-
gree.
An illustration of the responsibility of cur
rent rumor came to light yesterday. An Of
fetal Of certain road met reporter for the
b e on Robert street and said:
Did you hear that E. H. Cooper a ticket
broker in the city, was appointed city ticket
agent of the Great Northern at Butte, and
that Warner Broberg, the steamship agent

CRUSHING THE REVOLT.
WeyIer Satisfied With the Progress
He Is Making.

MADRID, Jan. 5.-The correspondent at
Havana of the Impartial, Of this city, cables
that he has had an interview with Cap5. Gen.
Weyler, in which the general expressed sur
prise at the newspaper campaign In Spain
against him. Gen. Weyler did not deny the
existence of abuses, but said that his con-
science was clear, and that at the proper time
he would show what he had done. Gen. Wey-
Ter also expressed the greatest satisfaction
with the progress OF the campaign in Pinar
del Rio province which, he asserted was so
far pacified that he could withdraw the
greater part Of the troops from that part Of
the island for use in the Imminent operations
in the provinces of Havana and Matanzas,
and as far as the military line of Puerto
Principe. Continuing, Capt. Gen. Weyler is
quoted as saying that he expects to finish
crushing the instruction in the province Of
Havana within a fortnight, and achieve a
total pacifcation of the island to Jucaro, the
southern extremity of the military line in tho
province Of Puerto Principe before the rainy
season. He further stated that he in
clined to conduct ceaseless operations until
he had achieved his object, the conditions
prevailing were promising.
In conclusion. the captain general said that
his views the political aspect of affairs
were unchanged. He still believed that
military action in Cuba ought to be allowed
to take a free course until the end, and he
did not consider that any reform movements
were at present necessary.

of Minneapolis, was to be the agent for the
same road at Spokane?"
The reporter had not heard It, and asked
General Passenger Agent F. l. Whitney, Of
the Great Northern for a confirmation. The
latter denied the statement in toto, and said
its business. "And while we are talking
about rumors, l want to gay that Mr.. Jones
will not be assistant general passenger agent
at Buffalo, as has been claimed around town.
This is another sample" said Mr.. Whitney,
of what rumor will do. Such move was
never contemplated. 1t probably originated
In a joke, as did the stories about Cooper
told it to another friend and the latter took
it seriously. Within an hour probably Ill
people were telling it as a serious fact and
the press heard it from one of the Ill we'll
meaning but misguided people,"

AFTER THE FLOUR TRADE.
Representative OF the Marquette
Line In This City

That the Flint & Pere Marquette road, Of
ing trade to stay and give battle, is an ac-
cepted fact and the claim practically YER
ihed yesterday by the visit to the city of AS
sistant General Passenger and Freight Agent
H. +. Moeller, of the line named Mr.. Noel
Ter is looking after the trade prospects, and
is very much encouraged. He is quoted as
saying that the F. & p. NJ. will set its line
of new car ferry steamers in operation within
few weeks, and will commence the competi-
ton by carrying flour across the lake in cars
without breaking bulk and by reducing the
time. 1t Is very likely the road will claim
ditferential. The road will operate via Ke-
waunee.
Another very interesting rumor in connec
ton with the competition of the Flint g. Pere
Marquette is that the road during the summer
tourist season will transfer passenger trains
as well as freight, and that east-bound tour
lists will be given the novelty of a lake voy-
age while still aboard their trains. The new
car ferry steamers of the lire are immense
concerns, and built with an idea to
speed as well as strength and capacity. The
boats will be able to make two round trips
a day, aggregating 232 miles,

SNOW BLOCKADE GENERAL. ALONG
NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD
LINES.
TRAINS STALLED I'M DRIFTS
BUT ONE TRAIN CLEARED FROM
THE CITY ON MON
DAY.
Storm Was General and Ragged for
u Period of FOrty-Eight
Hours.

The snow blockade in the Northwest
occasioned by the blizzard of the past
few days succeeded in pretty thorough
ly tying up the railroad systems for
nearly two days. The Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern, running into
North Dakota, and the lines of the
Omaha and Milwaukee in South Da-
kota and Nebraska experienced great
difficulty, but the blockade is now prac-
tically raised.
General Manager Kendrick, of the
Northern Pacific, was notified yester-
day that trains stalled at Detroit lake
would move by 3 o'clock in the after
noon. The rotary and wedge plows
were worked to their utmost in order
to open the road. The Great Northern
reported that it's traffic was fully
opened at noon.
Phe storm ragged with considerable
severity up to O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, covering a period of over forty
eight hours. The only portion of the
Northwest which escaped appeared to
be Southwestern Minnesota On Mon
day no trains were gotten through, and
the only train which cleared from the
city was the overland train, No 1, and
the passengers on this train were
warned that they might not get
through. The rotary pIows had a hard
time, and one of them was itself en-
quilted in drift. On the Great North
ern, train No 8 from Grand Forks and
Crookston was abandoned, and the
coast train was many hours late.
There have been no through trains
on the Aberdeen division of the Mil
Waukee up to last night since Sunday
morning, but the company has two
steam plows hard at work
On the Pacific division of the 500, the
road is buried under gigantic drifts
west Of Glenwood. but it was reported
late yesterday afternoon that trains
would probably get through before
dark. The Chicago lines were not ef-
fected by the storm.

PROSECUTION OF SANTA FE TRAF-

COMMERCE LAW VIOLATIONS
CHARGED AGAINST EX-PRESIDENT
RETNEART AND EX-TRAFFIC
MANAGER HANLEY.
ONE WILL PROBABLY GO FREE
Attorney for the Government Hardly
Expects to Make Case Against
Mr.. Reinhart.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-In the United
States court today Judge Grosscup took
up the trial Of Joseph w. Reinhart, eX-
president, and John A Hanley, eX-
traffic manager of the Santa F'e rail-
road, for alleged deviation from the es-
tablished freight rates of the road. The
indictments against the men were
found over three years ago. They were
based upon shipping transactions dur
ing the summer and fall of 1892
A jury was secured early in the after
noon, and the trial begun by the state
ment of the attorneys for the inter-
state commerce commission. The gov
eminent indicated that it was not sure
of its ground against Reinhart. In his
opening statement to the jury, Attor-
ney Shields, for the prosecution, said
he would prove the two deviations from
the rate as set forth in the Indictment.
He coupled the name of Hanley with
the proof that would be submitted but
said nothing as to Remnants part, eX-
cept that the latter was at the time of
the commission of the two alleged Of
lenses auditor of the road.
Senator Duncan, representing the de-
Tense, waving an opening address to
the JURY, moved that 1l6lIudTI ne us
charged from the indictment on the
ground that the government failed to
connect his name with its statement of
what it intended to prove. Judge Gross
cup asked Attorney Shields if he could
prove that Reinhart had anything to
do with the deViatiOns of the rate. The
attorney for the government replied
that he knew of no particular connec-
ton to which he might refer, but he
did expect to show, during the taking
of the evidence. that Reinhart was a
party to the transactions.
DO you expect to prove that Rein
hart was in Illinois at any time during
the history of these transactions? in
quired Senator Duncan of Attorney
Shields. I'VE can show that he was
not"
Before Attorney Shields could reply,
Judge GrOsscUp said:
THE government will certainly have
to prove that. If Reinhart was not in
the state of Illinois at the time, he
could not be guilty. I will let the mat
ter stand, however, until after the gov
eminent has in its proof"
The first witness was H G. Taylor
q former live stock agent of the Santa
Fe railroad, and the witness upon
whose evidence the indictments were
found in October, 1898. He proved a
good man for the sustaining of the
charges CT the Indictment He was di-
rect and positive in his evidence against
Hanley, but admitted that he knew
nothing against Reinhart. He claimed
to have been under Hanley's direction
and was subjected to a long cross-ex-
animation by the defense. His testi-
mony was not shaken in the least Tie
cross-eXamination of Taylor took all
the afternoon and will be resumed in
the morning.

STOLE THE DIAMONDS.
Mrs. F. e. Reid's Residence Visited
by Thieves.

The st. Paul police authorities were yes
terday notified of $500 jewelry robbery which
took place in Minneapolis New Years eve and
asked to keep watch for the thieves and assist
in the recovery of the stolen property. The
robbery was committed at the residence of
Mrs. F. E. Reid els Chicago avenue while
the family was absent at an entertainment.
Every nook and corner Of the house was
searched and only articles of value and those
easily disposed of taken. The thieves pried
open a side window and literally tore things
wide open on the inside. Mrs. Reid lost d
pair of diamond ear drops valued at $3.50,
three gold watches, a gold bracelet and sew
eral rings, in addition to several articles Of
wearing apparel. The Minneapolis police were
notified of the robbery and have arrested two
boys suspected Of the crime, but the owner
of the goods is Of the opinion that more prac-
tiCed thieves are the guilty DartieS.

JUDGMENT ON PLEADINGs.

Judge Lochren, in the United States dis
trict court, has ordered judgment on tn.
pleadings in favor Of the receivers of the
Northern Pacific railroad in the personal in
Jury action brought against them by William
H. Westcott. 1t seems that the plaintiff al
lowed more than two years TO elapse before
bringing his action, whereas an amendment
to the state law, chapter 3O1, General Laws
or 1895, limits the time within which such
actions can be brought to two years. The
question involved was the constitutionality Of
the amendment. Judge Lochren held the law
valid and granted the motion for Judgment.

DODGE FOR RECEIVER.
DepOsitOrs OF the Columbia Want
Him to Act


:, Depositors Of the defunct Columbia Ma
tlonal Dank gathered at one of the reception
rooms of the West hotel last night to CON
s1der several names which had been men
toned in connection with the receiversffp of
the bank.
Marcus Hayne, representing certain depos-
itors, was appointed chairman, and briefly
stated the object Of the meeting Col Rob
letter cashier Of the Columbia National, VINO
was present at the meeting, was asked to
give as nearly as possible a statement Of the
condition Of the bank. Mr. Bobleter had with
MIN detailed statement Of the affairs Of the
oank as they existed at the time the doors
were closed. The bank had assets to the
amount of $420, 600, $1,000 Of which Col
Bobleter considered perfectly good, the bal
GOO he thought that with judicious manage
ment no depositor Of the bank should lose
anything
Col. Bobleter then withdrew and the chair
man asked that the depositors proceed to place
before the meeting the names of those who
would make acceptable appointees to the po-
sition OF receiver John Caldwell men
toned the name of Col. Bobleter, which ap-
peared to meet with some favor. The name
OF ID. G. Bell was also mentioned At this
point County Attorney Peterson informed
the meeting that it was an tnvariable rule
with National Comptroller Eckels to appoint
no one who had been connected with a bank
prior to its assignment to the receivership
OF said bank or to appoint one connected with
any other bank. In view Of this the names Of
Col. Bobleter and Mr.. Bell were withdrawn.
Matt Walsh then suggested the name OF
Henry Gjertsen. Fred B. Dodge and Wash
ington Smith were also mentioned by other
deposttors. After some discussion relative
to the merits Of the several persons mem
toned vote was taken, and it was found
that Fred B. Dodge was a choice Of the ma
jority of the depositors present. Matt Walsh,
who had suggested the name Of Henry Cert
sen, withdrew it, and motion to make Mr..
Dodge the unanimous choice of the meeting
prevailed This thought advisable, as
it was the desire of all the depositors that
there should be unanimity in the action Of the
letting.
In accordance with the expressed wish Of
the meeting a telegram was therefore sent
to National Comptroller Eckels asking for
the appointment Of Fred B. Dodge as receiver
of the Columbia National bank.
