MEETING THE COMPETITION,

St. Paul, Mimi, March 5.-Chicago
lines will meet the 500 competition on
passenger rates to the East and the scalp
ers are again able to do business. The
rate will be SIT second class and SIS first
GLASS to New York with 81 more for each
class to Boston. Some of the lines met
today and all the others will participate
Monday. This makes the rate but 81
more from ST. Paul than it is from
Chicago East. The rate from St. Paul to
Chicago will still remain at $11.50 al
though the rate gives scalpers chance to
do business on through tickets with
Chicago as field for operations. Some
of the lines are selling by way of Mon
treal only but others have arranged with
the Grand Trunk and he.Lehigh Valley
lines to open up the route by way of
Chicago and the Niagara Falls frontier. :.

MAINE TENNIS PLAYERS.

Waterville March 5.--The annual meet
ing of the Maine Inter collegiate Tennis
association was held here today with the
Colby representative. Bowdoin was repre-
sented by J. F. Dana, 1913, Bates by 6. II.
Conant, '98 and Colby by T. r. Pierce
1913. 1t was voted that inasmuch as the
University of Maine had sent no repre-
sentative to the meeting and had not as
yet paid the annual dues for 1897, that the
institution be suspended from member
ship until those dues are paid. 1t was
voted to hold the annual tournament on
Juno 6, Z, and 9. The questioned hold
ing the meet at the different colleges in
rotation was brought up and laid on the
table until the matter could be presented
to the association of the different colleges.

meeting at Brunswick, the first Saturday
in March, '99.

ADVERTISED THE WRONG LINE.

Washington, March Ex-senator Wilson
of Washington called the attention of the
state department today to a recent re-
mort of Consul Dudley of Vancouver, B.
G.. in which Canadian ports and Cana
dian routes to the Klondike were extolled
at some length. He said that this report
had been used by the Canadian Pacific
road as an advertisement and was to the
detriment of American roads and Ameri-
can seaports on the Pacific which were
doing large outftting business for the
gold regions. The state department has
notified Consul Dudley that hereafter his
reports must not favor foreign interests
in competition with those in the United
States
