Schedule Agreed Upon for Flour
Rates Doesn't Go.
The complacency Of the -four rate
committee, which recently fixed new
rates to the Atlantic seaboard, the same
being 201s and 171A cents respectively
on all-rail and rail and lake lines,
was rudely shocked yesterday
by the receipt Of a telegram from j.
F. Goddard. representing the Eastern
lines. that those lines repudiate the
rate, and would not, under any cir
cumstances, protect shipments at those
rates. The ST. Paul and Minneapolis
gentlemen. who so blithely reduced the
rates, were taken by. surprise, for they
thought they had ended the matter,
and that the rates would go into effect
Monday without question Now they
find themselves confronted by the East
ern roads, and the question is whether
the Western lines can force the East
ern lines to accept the schedule.
Several of the local members Of the:
committee are in Chicago, and. the
matter must await their return, but, as
they are expected back today, It is
like ely a meeting will be held this after
noon to consider the new situation.
If the Eastern and Western roads in
sist upon maintaining their respective
positions in regard to the -four rates.
there will be an interesting complica-
ton. 1t is believed that one side must
give in. at least temporarily, and the
chances are in favor of the Eastern
lines carrying their point.

zouaves Are Enthusiastic

The Eldridge zouaves are working hard to
make professional appearance in the parade
at the laying Of the capitol corner stone next
Wednesday. They have met for drill nearly
every night this week and their improvement
has been very marked. Thursday evening
they assembled at Western and DAYTON ave-
nues for their second drill with their uniforms
and guns. For nearly an hour they parad-
ed Dayton in true soldierly style, after
which. by invitation, they gave an exhibition
drill at a church social at Summit and Vir-
ginia avenues.
The zouaves won great applause in march
Ing down Summit avenue "in open order with
right shoulder cross arms" Having no band
music, the thirty-two boys kept time to their
own singing of "A Hot Time" Marching
Through Georgia" and other airs which every
boy knows.
:, Last. night, in spite of the long march
Thursday. the Zouaves assembled promptly
at 7:3O on Robert street. They went through
their fancy zouave tactics in front of the
Ryan. and at other places.

IN SIGHT
Report UnOfiicially Has 1t Tint n
Meeting VIII BE Held in the East
shortly to Arrange the Basis of
Settlement - Understanding Is
Reached About other TranscOn-
tfnental Business.

CHICAGO, July 22-Sir William Van
Horne, president of the Canadian Pa
cific, passed through Chicago today on
his way East from st. Paul, where he
had been in conference with ]. ]. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail-
road, on the transcontinental paSsen-
ger rate war.
No official statement has yet been
made regarding the result of the con-
ference. Unofficially, however. it is
stated an agreement was reached, the
practical result of which will be a ces-
Sation of the war and restoration OF
rates on a basis entirely satisfactory
to the American lines. This announce
ment has been received with a great
deal of complacency by the American
lines, all of which are heartily tired
of the war.
1t is expected a meeting of the lines
will be called Immediately on Sir Will
lam Van Horne reaching Montreal, for
the purpose of settling the basis Of
restoration, which will be put into eff
feet with the least possible delay.
The meeting of the traffic managers
and general freight agents of the Ca
madam Pacific and the American trans
continental lines, which was continued
yesterday in the Great Northern Of
fees, resulted in compromise in rates
between Spokane and the KOotenai
country. There were present at the
conference Traffic Manager Kerr and
General Agent Peters, of the Canadian
Pacific; Assistant General Freight
Agent Garrett. Of the Union Pacific;
Assistant General Agent J. A. Reeves,
of the Oregon Short Line: General
Traffic Manager F. B. Clarke and Gen
eral Freight Agent Somers, Of the
Great Northern, General Manager Ken
drick and General Freight Agent
Moore, of the Northern Pacific.
The result Of their deliberations was
reduction of 81 excess of rates be-
tween the points named. The excess
was formerly 50.
This reduction was satisfactory to
the Canadian Pacific which had claim
ed that the difference in the rates on
the American lines was operating to
it's disadvantage. The action Of the
conferees will necessitate a change in
all freight rates on those lines based
upon the reduction.

MGONAGLEs' FIGURES HIGH.
Evidence as to the Cost of the Du
Iuth & Iron Range.

Evidence as to the Cost of the Du-
Iuth & Iron Range.
DULUTH. Mimi. July 22.-Engineer
McGonagle, Of the Duluth & Iron
Range, spent all today in explaining
his figure Of $15,319, 900 for cost Of line.
He testified that the road had been
built as cheaply as possible, consist
emit with work by responsible contract
ors, and that work had been going on
constantly since the road was built in
repairs and improvements. The chief
items in construction were 1884. SB1 for
equipment; $1.315.0OO for docks and
dredging. The steel rails were bought
at S22 per ton and were from 60 to 100
pounds in weight. The buildings cost
$306,000.
In contravention Of the figures Of
Engineer Armstrong. who estimated
the cost of the road at $500, 900, Mr..
McGonagle alleged that frogs. switches,
etc., cost $72,427, as against Arm
strong's figure Of 1923, $50, that twenty
one rock cuts had been widened since
the road was built, against one testi-
he'd to by Armstrong. He doubled Arm
strong's estimate as to ties and bal
lasting, included $4,000 as the value CT
one gravel pit, and said that at places
grades had been filled up from five TO
twelve feet. necessitating long and
heavy extra cuts and fills. He stated
that frogs and switches said by Arm
strong to have cost $35 each, actually
cost from $135 to $3.50 each, the latter
price being for double slip switches. He
stated that the ore docks had a work.
ing capacity for 1000 tons, this large
capacity being required by the many
grades of ore from many mines, and
added that the road had not today suf-
f1cient capacity to handle ore economic
ally, but cannot build additional docks
nor extend the present docks at Two
Harbors port 1t was brought out that
any future docks must be at Burling-
ton bay, east Of Two Harbors, and for
this reason the road had acquired room
there at heavy cost.
On cross-eXamination the witness
was asked If he knew his estimates ex-
ceeded by 100000 the figures sworn
to by the road in it's last report to the
state commission. He stood by his fig
ures, and said his mileage figure Of
279 miles was correct, despite the fact
that it was twenty four miles more
than the road claimed on it's answer in
the complaint in the present case. Wit
ness said the work Of construction
would cost more today than when the
road was built. but was forced to adj
NIT that labor, earth and rock work
rails. iron, other Materials timber,
equipment. ETC.. had steadily declined
ever since the road was built, and also
that discounts, ETC., would be less than
in his estimate.
The commission announced today
that it would take a trip over both
roads before the hearing is concluded
and the roads will make up special
train for them.
