Passenger Agent Whitney, of the
Great Northern, is, however, producing

The issue is whether the Canadian
Pacific shall compel the American
roads to charge more for Transports

States to another than 1t does.":es
He declared the American roads

sented by Passenger Traffic Manager

mes, in the United States court today.
The proceeding is the direct result
of the existing differences between the
trustees, Edwin H. Abbot and John A

ever, as to the insolvency of the com
pany the dispute being as to the
method to be pursued, Mr.. Abbot wish
ing to have it brought in under the
original proceeding against the Wis
conSin Central company, and he pro-
tested strongly, but Judge Scanlan
finally concluded to allow the bill to be
filed, and requiring the parties to show
cause before Judge Jenkins. i'm SEN
TENDER, why receivers should not be
appointed.
The bill presents the bond issue of
July l, 1871, under which there Is now
outstanding $3,675, 900 of the first Sc
rles and $5,134, 500 Of the second series.
The first securities draw interest at 5
per cent, the second bearing interest
at rate not exceeding Z per cent and
payable only out of the net earnings
after the interest of the first series has
been paid, and after the sum of $780,
0O0 per annum has been set aside for
permanent repairs.
The interest on $1,469,5 500 has been
paid regularly from time to time, but
default has existed upon first series
bonds, amounting to $2,2O5, 500 since
July 1, 1896, and no interest has ever
been paid upon the second series. The
prayer bill asserts that Mr.. Abbot was

LIVE WIRE ILLUMINATION.
An Unusual Display Presented on
Washington Avenue.

MINNEAPOLIS. July SO.-There was an
electrical illumination along Washington ave-
nue. south at the expense Of the Twin City
Rapid Transit company, and street car traffic
on this portion of the system was delayed for
two hours.
While standing at Seventh avenue south and
Washington at IL O'Clock Officer E. E. Kerr
heard a cracking sound and saw one of the
live wires drop half way to the ground.
No street car was in the immediate neigh
borhood. The officer stopped the car which
soon arrived and warned pedestrians and
teamsters to watch out. Suddenly the feed
wire on the east side of the next trolley pole
began to burn. giving forth brilliant iliu-
mnation. This continued a few minutes
and then the wire dropped to the ground.
few moments later the feed wire on the
east side of the next trolley pole began to
burn. Thus it continued until the same per-
Torrance had been repeated on every pole up
to Third avenue south. This is an uncommon
occurrence. and many people took occasion
to view the phenomena. However, little
damage was done. and a crew of men sue
ceeded in righting matters inside OF two
hours

Been Imposed Upon. g.
General Passenger Agent Galloway, of the
500 line, left for Chicago last evening to at
tend the hearing before the interstate com
merce commission. which begins in that CITY
Monday. 1t is expected that the question Of
the present decentralization in passenger rates
which extends from coast to coast, VIII be
taken up and examined in all It's bearings.
Before leaving Mr.. Galloway took Deco sion
to reply to some criticisms, in which all tie
blame for the existing state of affairs wa,
laid at the door of the 500 railroad
g ! wish to say said Mr.. Galloway s'that
the. 500 has been the party imposed upon
rather than the aggressor We have tried to
be honest and candid throughout. We have
been doing business in the interest of the
Northwestern and Eastern states; we have
made no effort to cover the Middle stats and
such an effort would be useless. believe
we save the Western people at least SIS 600
each year, at a very low estimate, and in
giving them this service we feel that we are
entitled to some substantial return from the
people whom we serve u All the 500 line
asks or, l should say, insists upon is a
maintenance of the tariff which has beer
agreed upon and signeN by all the roads
which are now fighting us. This tariff
allows us differential ranging from $125 to
81 for passenger business to the cit es of the
East, and although the tariff is duly signed
and on file with the interstate commission, it
has been entirely ignored by our opponents
for two years past"

Ante-COnVentiOn Race
MINNEAPOLIS, July 3O-In the To-
cal political field the Democrats are
now monopolizing attention as far as
city offices are concerned. F. G.. Hol-
brooks friends are working quietly
ana systematicall for his selection as
the mayoralty candidate, although
they say they will not go to the eX-
tent of opening headquarters and cir
cuIating printed slips. The kid ele-
ment OF the Democracy is in its ele-
ment. They have a candidate in the
person of James Gray, and they are
booming him after the fashion of
kids" They are making enough noise
about their campaign to brighten a per-
son with weak nerves, but the astute
politicians Of the party are going
ahead quietly with plans to nominate
Hclbrook. No new Democratic candi-
dates for comptroller or treasurer have
appeared during the past week, and it
seems likely that some new men will
be picked up on the day of the con-
vention, Aug. 9.
The three Republican mayoralty can
didates are working hard, but in an
administrative fashion, and 1t is hard
to say just how they stand. E. E.
Webster would appear the strongest,
and it is probable that he is doing the
most active and effective work. Mayor
Pratt is not far behind in public esti-
nation, although he is allowing all the
hustling to be done by his friends. A.
L. Croker is at his headquarters each
day and has many elements Of strength
ba ok Of him.
Although the field of candidates for
the office of comptroller has enlarged
considerably since the announcement
was made that Wallace Nye would not
be a candidate for another term, there
is little doubt but that c. F. E. Peter
son is in the lead by a good margin.
c. A. Nimmocks, the veteran neWspa-
per man, is finding considerable
strength in quarters where he least eX-
pected. OF the many new candidates,
it is probable that the most promising
is Joshua Rogers, who for ten years
past has served as the chief assistant
in the office of the comptroller. w. r.
futile, Lindsay Webb and G. A. Petri
are the others mentioned for the place.
The Republican contest for treasurer
lies between c. S. Hubert, the present
incumbent, and Frank E. Holton, a
young Republican of the North side.
