The Alaskan Rate War.

At a meeting of the Western Passenger
Association held in Chicago yesterday
general discussion took place regarding the
extensive generalization of rates which has
been caused by the Canadian Pacific rate
war. A proposition was presented for the
discontinuance of the cut rates through the
Missouri river gateways and that they
should be met only through st. Paul. The
payment of excessive commissions was also
discussed and it was pointed out that these
payments had a great deal to do with much
of the existing Generalization. No definite
action was taken on any of these subjects.
They will be discussed further at subsequent
sessions of the meeting. The committee
which goes to New York to represent the
Western roads at the conference with the
Canadian Pacific next Tuesday will, 1t is
said, be left free to act as it may see fit
except on one point. The only instructions
that will be given it will relate to the ques-
tion Of differentialS On this point they will
be very positive The committee will be in
Structed to say to their Canadian cOmpeti-
tors that under no circumstances can Cam
adian Pacific differentials be tolerated. The
American roads take the ground that the de-
cision of the InterState-commerce Commits
sion shuts them up to that position, that
settlement of the present rate war must
be found on some other basis. 1t may be
that a physical division of all controllable
traffic will be proposed but it is very un-
certain that the Canadian. Pacific will con-
sent to treat on that basis. The present out
look for a settlement is not very promising.

THE VANDERBILT SYSTEM
COMBINATION COVERING RICHEST
PORTION OF THE COUNTRY.
The Big Four Proper Earned Over N
Million Dollars in March-The Fut-
ure Slate OF the Lake Shore.

AS Chauncey NJ. Depew has announced
that he will retire from the presidency of
the New York Central on April 20 to carry
out the policy of a greater unity of admin
istration of the Vanderbilt system of roads,
it is interesting to note what lines will be
more or less affected under the proposed
adjustment. In what are known as the
Vanderbilt lines between New York and
Chicago there are now seven complete or
ganizations. West Of Chicago there are
four. These eleven lines form a network
over the richest territory of the continent.
They are the New York Central & Hudson
River Railroad, the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern, the West Shore Michigan Cen
trail, New York, Chicago &c St. Louis, the
Nickel-plate, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chica-
go &, st. Louis Gig Four) and the Chesa-
peake & Ohio east of Chicago and the
Northwestern, Chicago, St. Paul, Mnneap-
oils & Omaha, Sioux City & Pacific and the
Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley west
of Chicago. The gross earnings of the Van
derbilt lines" for the year in round num-
bers We're $152, 900, 600; for the Pennsylvania,
$135, 900 eco, and for the London & North
western, $600O0,O00. Some figures not given
in the above will be of value in COM
pairing the operations of the vanderbilt
lines with similar figures for the Pennsyl-
vania Company and for the British COM
pany. 1t is shown by the report for 1896
that the total train mileage of the Van

with about 75,OOO,O 900 of the Pennsylvania

Straight in Spains face let defiance be hurled

At the meet ng of the Board of Public
Safety yesterday C. C. Roth, the new
member, took the oath of Office and filed his
bond. The bond is in the sum of 5000,
with Julius Reinecks as surety. On a mo-
ton by Mr.. Morse and seconded by Mr..
Roth, Mr.. Mack was elected chairman.

bill was offered from the Board of County
commissioners amounting to $2O5O for dam
age done to the Jail plumbing by city pris-
oners during the time the city prisoners
were confined there. The board declined to

THE PHILIPPINES.
Beautiful Islands, and Almost UnTi-
vailed i'm Richness.
Nv, Uor1- 1N,.o,,;,r- Co.,

New York Evening Sun.
The Philippines are the most beautiful
islands in the world. Their richness is
rivaled only by that of Java, whence the
Dutch nation has drawn the wealth that
has contributed to make it the richest per
capita in Europe. The inhabitants of the
Philippines are amiable and intelligent and
willing to be Industrious. state of order
only is necessary, assuring to them the
fruits of their labor, to transform Spanish
inferno into one of the jewels of this ter
restrial sphere. For centuries Spain has
sucked the blood of this fair region, SUBJ
jecting the wretched beings who inhabit it to
systematic torture far worse than the re-
gime of simple murder to which the English
lately put an end in Africa. To any sover-
eignty but Spain the Philippines must needs
be source of wealth. of a wealth Ito quote
the sonorouS old doctor) beyond the dreams
of aVarice.
Even under Spanish blight the trade of the
United States with Manila is respectable;
not so many years ago it was large With
a few years of enlightened administration
IL is entirely safe to say that the trade of
the group would exceed tenfold what it has
ever been. The principal customer would be
Japan, which is prepared to take all the
sugar the islands can produce This would
not be shipped in the raw, but refined on the
spot in successful competition with the Eng
lish refinerieS at Hong-Kong. Had the
United States at this time but 1.-THE of the
maritime and commercial enterprise that
distinguished generation but just passed
from the stage, 1t would not be needful to
make an argument for an obvious and most
profitable policy that appeals at the same
time to every generous sentiment and every
instinct of humanity.
To take Manila is to take the Philippines.
It's position is q more commanding one,
even, than that of Havana, in Cuba. TO the
few Spanish troops scattered in small de-
tachments through the group there will be
no alternative but surrender Besides the
presence of the American squadron and the
occupation of Manila will be the signal for
an instant uprising of the people in over
whelming force Any return of the islands
to Spanish misrule will be quite out of the
question The United States cannot with
out disgrace. shirk any of the responsible
ties of their position. A iuncture is at hand
when they must needs rise above their own
parochial politics and view a horizon lying
beyond that that is visible from the dome
of the Capitol. All of it's problems must be
met, and for all of them solution found
that is worthy OF statesmen and of ma
tional destiny
