RAILROAD RATE WAR.
Little Money in the kiondiise Travel If II
Continues.

The railroad rate war goes on and the
travelling public continues to get the
benefit of the inability of the big rail-
road corporations to come to an under
standing. If the situation continues To
grow more serious at the rate ii has the
past two days KlondiiSers will get their
railroad fares cheap and Western peo-
pie will be able to visit Eastern friends
at small expense, and the railroads
which figured on reaping IA rich har-
vest on the anticipated heavy snring
traffic viii fall a long way short OF their
expectations.
The cut in rates to the East which
was inaugurated by the American
roads Saturday reused tile wrath OF
the Canadian Pacific people. and they
retaliated very promptly in slash IN
westward rates. Az consequence the
American lines had scarcely announced
their reductions to the East before
they were called upon To make CORE
spending reduction to the Pacific coast
in order To protect themselves, and on
the evening of the day in which the
East bound reductions took effect, west
ward rates took a tumble.
Tho local passenger agents received
Geographic instructions late Saturday
evening that in order TO meet the Can
adam Paeifcs retaliatory measures.
westbound rates would be reduced, to
go into Immediate effect.
The reduction in westward rates as
now published from Butte are: To Ia

duction Of $40. second-elass, $50, q re-
/ auction of S14.40. To Portland, first

Col. ClOuEh. I'm an Address to the

Clearly Defined the Policy of the
Other Nations of the World With
Respect to Foreign Railroad
COrpOratfons-Oth News.

General Passenger Agent F. I. Whit
ney. Of the Great Northern. returned
from Chicago yesterday. Mr.. Whitney
was present at the interstate commerce
commission inquiry into the rate war
between the American lines, and the
Canadian Pacific, and gave some val
liable testimony.
81 do not know what the result OF
the inquiry will be-" said Mr.. Whitney
to a reporter for The Clio b e. "The
commissioners all said they were much
interested in the testimony given, but
no one can say what they will do. They
may issue orders for the Canadian Pa
cific to obey, but they may not be able
to enforce them.
Zone of the ablest addresses deliver
ed before the commission was that CT
Col Clough. 1t was mastery argu-
ment. He showed that 1t is the policy
Of all nations, including England, to
restrict the carrying privilege to the
people of that nation. Russia will not
allow foreign goods to be carried across
Russian territory in foreign cars Rus
sia reserves the profits Of trade to be
enjoyed only by Russians, and so with
England and Germany and every other
power. Why then should the United
States allow foreign railway corpora
ton to Invade United States territory
with it's passenger or freight cars? Only
American cars should be allowed to
traverse our territory. The Canadian
Pacific Is a foreign corporation and has
no right to invade the United States.
Another issue is involved. American
rails and everything else that enters
into the construction of American rail-
roads, except the roadbed, which is
dirt. is protected. and American rail-
roads are obliged to pay higher price
for them than they would have to do
If they were not protected. But the
Canadian Pacific can buy trails and
whatever it needs from the American
manufacturers more cheapIy than we
can, because there is no protective tar
iff on them in Canada. The result Is
American roads have to pay more for
them than Canadian roads,; to make
good the difference. II *
''The suggestion that congress legis-
late so that the Canadian Pacific shall
be deprived of it's American connections
does not seem to me feasible, for that
would be too much like conf1scation Of
property, but congress should be able
to do something to relieve the Amer
lean roads of the disastrous competition
to which they are now subjected by
the Canadian Pacific" "a

of the American Association of Travelling
Passenger Agents, Secretary-Treasurer l..
w. Landman, of Columbus, has sent to the
members of the association tasty little
ings of the week during which the railroad
men will be entertained and a glance at it
shows that no effort has been spared to give
the travelling passenger agents royal time

The convention will be called to order on
Chautauqua Lake at Lakewood, beginning
Tuesday, Sept. 13, and is in the hands of
the executive committee, consisting of Messrs.
Ball, Of Buffalo; Walter L. Wyand, ST. Paul;
