enormously published yesterday. William A.
Day of Washinston appeared principal
sented to the commission that the recent
cut in rates made by the Canadian Pa
cifc road is gradually and surely robbing the
American lines of the through traffic which.
under normal conditions, would be kept on this

competition with similar cut, and Mr.. Day
told the commission that as long az the clause
remained in force the law would protect the
Canadian Pacific at the same time that 1t in
jured the United States roads.
The managers of the roads in this country
claim that the cut by the Canadian Pacific praC-
ucally wipes out the passenger rate between
Chicago and st. Paul, in the case OF q through
ticket bought from Boston or New York to st.
the American lines, ana the managers profess
to beli,vo that the Canadian Pacific II

monopoly OF the through traffic TO Pacific

lleve that the discretion placed in the hands OF
