Mems association, opposed the bill as un-
ticket should be allowed to dispose Of it as
he might see fit. as would the owner of any
other commodity.
Senator Wolcott made the point that "no
honest, honorable man would be caught tray-
cling around on another mans name on a.
non-transferable ticket"
Mr.. Thiele said he had kown of men whom
ne believed to be honest doing that thing
He said that what the travelling man wanted
was a Uniform fat so thousand mile rate
~ r. q. DOVE of New York. president of the
Commercial Travellers National league also
appeared in antagonism to the bill.
William F.. King, president of the Mer-
chants Association OF New York spoke for
the bill. He said he had fought the rail-
roads for years and would continue to fight
until proper rates should be secured. He
was opposed to discrimination, however hencs
lied as forgery the dealings in railroad tick
cts, which was. he SAID opposed to the CON

ing for reputable houses" Mr.. Dill also con-
tended for the legal right of the railroads

WINNIPEG, Man, Jan. 6.-At the
time of the failure of the Commercial
bank here it held bonds of the st. Paul
& Kansas City railway for $4,000 as
security for the indebtedness of w. l..
Boyle. his Indebtedness was subse-
quently compromised, one Of the terms
being that the bank should retain the
bonds as their property absolutely.
The railway has leased it's assets to the
Chicago Great Western Railway
company, and the latter has issued
stock in exchange for the bonds, all
bondholders except the bank have &C
cepted the stock and the liquidator of
the bank has recently endeavored to
obtain settlement OF the claim of the
bank without success. He therefore
applied to the court this morning for
leave to recover judgment against the
railway on overdue coupons amounting
to $4,000, and to enforce the banks right
on the mortgage deed to secure the
balance. The judge made an order
that E. H. Morphy, of st. Paul, be re-
tanned on behalf of the liquidation to
take the necessary proceedings. The
solicitor for the liquidation stated to
the court that the best cash offer the
liquidator had received for the bonds
was one of $4,000 from a New York
firm

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.
the Case of an Old Shakopee
Hank.

After all the mapmakers in America
have adjusted their plats on the as
sumption that the readjustment of
boundaries between Cass and Crow
Wing counties was legal, the supreme
court steps in and upsets the new deal.
The result is that the acquisitive dis
position of some of the Crow Wing
county politicians is turned to naUght,
and the ambitious county is returned
to its former modest proportions. The
decision is based on the power Of one
who has signed a petition to subse-
Quently, by communication to the petit
toned power, withdraw his original ap-
plicatiOn. The court holds that he has
that right, and in this particular case
there were enough such cases to upset
the action of the state commission in
changing the boundaries of the county.
The county commissioners of the coun-
ty elected by an election which includ-
ed the townships now held not to be-
long to the county are ordered ousted.
The syllabus of the decision is as fol-
lows:
State of Minnesota ex rel H. w. Childs, AZ
tGrney General, relator. Board of County
Commissioners Of Crow Wing County, ct al,
respondents.
Held, that it appears that there was no
competent evidence before the commission
Cunder Laws 1895, Oh. 1860 to sustain their
finding that the petition presented to them
was signed by ffty-five per cent of the actual
residents and legal voters of the territory
proposed to be taken from Cass county and
attached to Crow Wing county, ''as shown
by the returns of the last preceding general
election"
Also, that it appeared from the evidence be-
fore this court that the actual facts did not
sustain such finding.
1t was not necessary that one who had
signed such petition but wished to withdraw
his name should appear in person before the
commission, 1t was sufficient. if before the
commission had acted on the petition, he
communicates to them in writing, so anthem
ticated as to show its geuuineness. the fact
that he was net in favor of the proposed
change and wished his name withdrawn and
not counted in favor of the change
A communication to the effect that he did
not understand the nature of the petition when
he signed it, that he opposed to the
change, and thereby asks for opportunity
to strike his name from said petition" is
sufficient withdrawal.

AGREEMENT RELEGATED.
HOmcseeaers' Excursion ComDact
Already n Back Number.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-The agreement reached
by the Western roads few days since re-
garding the running of homeseekers' excur-
slons is back number already. 1t has been
found that so many of the roads are NOT salts
fed with the agreement to restrict the ex-
cursions to points en- the Missouri river,
that another meeting has been called for to-
morrow. There is little likelihood that the
meeting will result In the adjustment of the
excursions as many of the roads have made
their arrangements for the handling of the
business and have put out advertising an
nouncing that they will run the excursions.
1t is possible, however, that an agreement
may be reached that no more excursions shall
be run after those which have already been
arranged fer. have been handled A strong
effort will be made to do away with the ex-
cursions as they virtually cause a reduction
of one way rates two days in each week and
this means heavy loss to the Western roads
in general.
