SEEN FROM A DISTANCE.
How the Frankfurter ZeitunS Re.
CARDS the Present Rate War.

The annual meeting Of the Canadian Pacific
railroad company takes place Wednesday,
April 6, and the present policy being pur
sued by the officials of the company have set
some of the financial as well as operating
men to thinking
Taking into consideration the attitude Of
the road to the American lines in the pres
ent rate war, the comment of the Frankfurt
er Zeitung a paper which is read by a num-
Der of men who have their money invested
in the stock of the road, may not be uninter-
esting. 1t says:
1t appears that active competition has once
more broken out among the American roads
and Canadian Pacific is now somewhat pom
inent in the matter. This road is accused Of
wantonly invading the territory Of American
railways, compelling them to defend them
selves by cutting rates at heavy expense.
AS regards the rate war we understand
that while the American roads are willing to
make and maintain the same rates as those
made by the anadian Pacific. the latter roads
insist on having a differential even On
natural advantages over the American roads
in handling this business.
1t is naturally difficult at this distance to
form an exact opinion regarding Canadian Pa
cific action. 1t is, however greatly to be re-
GREETED that the stability of American rail-
read relations should be again impaired by
competition and rate wars. That such a
policy will also injure the earnings of Ca
madam Pacific is self evident. We advise
European stockholders not to remain indif-
ferent to this matter, but to request ex-
haustive explanation from the management
at the annual meeting April 6.

ANOTHER CUT POSSIBLE.
Rumor That Lacks Confirmation
Says the Rate VIII Go to So.

Rumor That Lacks Confirmation
Says the Rate VIII Go to So.
Quite stir was created yesterday by the
unofficial statement that the Canadian Pa
cific had filed with the Interstate commerce
commission a new tariff, which will reduce
the rate to the Pacific coast to S., effective
on Saturday
While it has been understood that the
Canadian Pacific people meant to tear things
wide open when once they started, it was
not thought they would so completely dis
figure the tariff rates, until the $40 second
class rate announced and made effective
today.
While no authority could be secured for the
new rate of S.. 1t was reported that notice
of the intention to quote it had been for
warded to the commission.
This latest reduction, if found to be on the
card, will be promptly met by both the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific.
Conversation with some Of the transcon-
tinental passenger men yesterday brought
forth the rather reluctant statement that
whatever rates were made by the Canadian
road would be met without delay. 1t was
learned that Mr. McNiroll, of the Canadian
Pacific, has consented to attend meeting
Of the trunk lines in New York SO that the
end of the trouble may not be very far off.
The attitude taken by both Mr.. Fee, Of
the Northern Pacific, and Mr.. Whitney, Of
the Great Northern, is that they are now,
as they always have been, ready to discuss
the differences there are in business-like
manner at any time. They both urge that
the situation is the same now as 1t has been,
and that when the Canadian Pacific people
are willing to get down tos business there
will be no obstacle offered. .,
The added fact that the passenger meet
ing called for yesterday in Chicago has been,
by common consent, deferred until the 18th,
when it will be held in New York, would
make it appear that an understanding Of
some sort looking to the restoration Of the
normal rates has been reached by some of
the powers that be.
