THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLE.
The n. =. and &. n. Insist That the G.
P.,s Differentials he Abolished.


Chicago, Feb 22.-It is now reported
that the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads have joined hands to bring
about an abolition of all Canadian Pa
cific differentials. and will insist that
this be an Indispensable element in the
settlement of the present transconti-
mental rate war. These differentials are
at the bottom of the trouble. They have
been the source of annoyance and fric-
tion since they have been in existence,
and now it is claimed the present war
offers an excellent opportunity of getting
rid of them once and forever. 1t is
urged that there is really no reason for
their existence. Any disadvantages to
which the Canadian Pacific may be sub
jected in competing for transcontinental
business on the one hand are more than
offset by advantages ii enjoys on the
other. 1t may be that all the matters
now in dispute between the roads may
be submitted to arbitration for settle
men. In that case the question of diff
ferentials would have to abide the re-
suit the same as all the other matters in
dispute. Should the war be fought out
to a finish. however, it is said the two
roads named viii insist on the abolition
of all differentialS.

Suspended.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The interstate
commerce commission has suspended
the operations of the long and short
haul clause of the interstate commerce
act in favor of railroad lines in the

of Manitoba and contiguous territory
and points upon the Detroit and St.
Clair rivers and easterly thereof in the
Dominion of Canada and in that por-
ton of the New England states reached

Canadian Pacific is now materially cut
ting passenger rates not only between
New England and Manitoba points, but
to st. Paul and the Pacific coast In

can roads will tomorrow ask the in
terstate commerce commission to ex-
tend the degree of this relief so as to
take in the additional competing points,
the condition being similar.

Captain David L. Brainer6, of the subsistence department of the United States army, who has been selected by the secretary of war to supervise the relief expedition to the Klondike mi. ners. was in St. Johns about two years ago, with a detachment of the Second cavalry, from Fort Wingate. Captain Frainerd was a member of the Cele- brated Greeley Arctic expedition, and is said to have been the farthest north of any United States army officer. Gen. A. w. GeeeIey, the commander of the Greeley expedition, is now chief signal officer of the United States signal ser vice. Captain Brainerd is a gallant of ficer and a very pleasant and interest ing gentleman to meet. His experience in the arctics should make his selection for the relief work of Alaskan miners Q most proper one.

In size these dogs are very large, full grown one will average about one hundred pounds in weight In appearance they resem- hIe a cross between bull dog and a timber wolf the head being short and roundish, the ears short and straight and the body very heavy abont the neck and shoulders. They have short and stubby tails, only about nine inches lonq while few of them have tails of the same length as domestic dog. Their color is usua1lv grey mixed with scattering of long black hsirs, They are very yoraclous and destroy great number of sheep. calves and colts. and even full grown cattle.

 "With the increased duty added Mex ican cattle are s to $5 per head higher. By the way, there is an excellent de- mand at present for Mexican steers, bulls and stags for the Cuban trade.
