the news of the collapse was received

that the English markets will gain
cleanliness, now that "the plunger
operating without regard to market
precedence is shaken out i"
1t is asserted on Marx Lane that the
collapse was due to Nessrs. Armour

Inc general passenger agents of the West

some discussion announced that thew were
ready to meet with the officials of the Can

upon by Messrs. Roberts and Daniels, and
the officers of the Canadian Pacific

or the Western Passenger association. to
notify Messrs. Daniels and Roberts of their
decision and be wired them that the West

held IN Chicago, New York, Montreal or csc
Wnere, and upon the call of the Trunk lines.

GETS MILLER'S PLACE
NEW CHIEF ENGINEER FOR THE
DULUTH ROAD
Charles A. #. Morris, Recently in
Charge of the Northwestern Fuel
Company's Docks at West Supe-
rfOr, Is the Man-Decision In the
MankatO Switching Case Filed.

Charles A. F. Morris, the well-known
railroad engineer, is to succeed to the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Leverett S. Miller, chief engineer of the
st. Paul & Duluth road.
Mr.. Miller left the road recently to
assume the management Of one of the
western feeders of the Northern Pa
cific.
Mr.. Morris has for the past few years
6een chief engineer of the Northwest
ern Coal Railway company, consisting
Of the docks and terminals of the
Northwestern Fuel company at West
Superior, and has during that time
lived in st. Paul. The circular an
nouncing his appointment with the ST..
Paul & Duluth will be issued today.
The new official is a New Yorker who
has been engaged in railroad construc-
ton in the West for the past score of
years. He worked on the construction
Of the old ST. Paul & Pacific and st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba from
1866 to 1879. and was assistant chief
engineer of the last-named company
for several years. He engineered and
superintendent the construction of the
fuel company's docks at the head of
the lakes, the biggest docks on the
great lakes. He is a son of c. A. F.
Morris, who was building inspector of
ST. Paul. and who now lives at Lake
Minnetonka. Mr.. Morris resides at
GIG Goodrich avenue.

FIGHT WILL KEEP UP.
just How Long Probably Remains
for Canadian Pacific to Say.

The meeting OF representatives OF the West
ern lines in Chicago to discuss the present
rate situation, and arrange a plan to meet
Canadian Pacific competition, is ended, and
from all that can be learned not much was
accomplished. The passenger men cannot say
where the end Is.
The view is expressed that the Canadian
Pacific has battle royal upon it's hands, for
the American lines were never before SO
well organized as at present. All the
lines west of Chicago and st. Louis are
directly affected and are working in harmony.
The Missouri river lines have just recently
met the Canadian Pacific cuts
The Grand Trunk has put in effect rates
in the East to meet those of the Canadian
PACIFIC, and being practically alone and with
equally good facilities for reaching the big
Eastern centers will no doubt enjoy consid-
cradle extra business. The Western pas
senger men admit that the spec al committee
consisting of Messrs Daniels and Roberts, of
the New York Central and Erie roads which
met with Mr.. McNico1, of the Canadian Pa
cifc, brought back little that was encourag-
ing. These two gentlemen advised that the
T. +. X. ultfmatum be accepted. 1t was that
the roads should restore rates when the Ca
madam Pacific would do the same. This
amounted to a granting to the Canadian Pa
enc the asked for differentals which the
western lines have not and probably will not
allow under any circumstances. The ulti-
matum was not accepted, and the fight is
just where it was
There is talk that the Canadian Pacific
peop-e VIII get tired before the Western lines
90, and that the war will not last long AS
one passenger man said yesterday:
''The Canadian Pacific folks ask us TO re-
store our rates. after which they will con-
s1der our request that they attend the con-
ference but they bind themselves to do moth
ing, ana are unwilling even to submit to
saw this imstanter and are just as decided nat
W allow the asked for differential as ever"
