CUTS VIA MISSOURI RIVER.
WAR WITH CANADIAN TO EXTEND
TO THIS GATEWAY.
Long and Short Haul Clause of Inter-
state Commerce Act Suspended,
Subject to Certain PrOvis-
iOns-Railway News.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-GeneraI passenger
agents of the Western roads were in ses-
SION to-day considering the best methods
of carrying on the war against the Cana
dian Pacific road They did not reach any
conclusion and will resume their delibera-
tions tomorrow. A strong feeling develop
ed in favor of putting in the cut rates
through the Missouri river gateway,
we'll as through st. Paul. The probabilities
are that it will go in through both gate
ways. Having secured the suspension of
the long and short haul clause of the inter
state commerce act, the American roads
think they can conserve intermediate rates
without confining the cut to any particular
routes. They propose to do this by selling
tickets on the rebate plan, charging the
passenger an amount sufficient to prevent
him using through tickets to intermediate
territory and refunding him the difference
when he arrives at his destination. This
Is the plan recommended by the commit
tee.

CANNOT MOVE THE BODIES.
Remains of Maine Victims May BE
Kept in Cubn by Spanish
Health Regulation.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The friends of the
victims of the Maine disaster have discov-
cred that they cannot have their bodies
brought to this country in cases where they
have already been inferred. This is due to
the fact that the Spanish laws forbid the
exIumation OF corpses until the expiration
of the period OF five years after burial.
The prohibition had its origin in the fear
of infection from contagious diseases. Some
applications have already been made 10

countered this obstacle. Whether ef-
fort will be made to have IL removed is not

SENIOR DU B0SC's DENIAL.
Declares That There Were No Mines
Inside or Outside of Ha-
yana HarbOr.

Washington, Feb. 25.-In view of the
widely published report that the harbor of
Havana contained a system of submarine
mines, statement around which has CEN
tered the chief public interests in connec-
tion with the disaster to the battleship
Maine, Senor DuBosc. Spanish charge
d'affaires at Washington. tonight made
the Associated Press the following state
ment. which, coming from such authority.
may be considered as an official denial:
II wish to state, on my own official
knowledge, that no mine exists inside or
outside of Havana harbor; nor is there any
submarine defense of any kind. The re-
port is so absolutely false and ridiculous
that it could only have originated in the
minds of those persons anxious to incite
the evil passions of both nations for their
own miserable ends. ! consider the very
suggestion of such a thing an insult to
Spain."

ACCEPTED BIDDERS TO RECEIVE
ANOTHER SMALL ALLOTMENT
or PERHAPS $500 OR $500.
A dispatch from Washington states
that there is a prospect that the ac-
cepted bidders for the recent issue OF
bonds to the amount Of s4,5O0 Will re-
ceiye another small allotment, perhaps
5000 or $500. in addition to the 81, 800
already allowed them. In connection
with this apportTonment, an interest
ing question has been raised. In many
instances an assignment, OF the bonds
have been made before a notary, and a
twenty-five cent revenue stamp affixed.
This was for the s4,5OO allotment, since
It was first stated that bidders OF that
figure would receive their bonds But
the question soon arose whether the
same assignm Mt would do for the ST.
300 apportionment. The Treasury De-
partment has given as it's opinion that
It will. and hence what threatened to
be vexatious complication has been
avoided.
