PHILADELPHIA, May 5.-The auxiliary
cruiser st. Paul, with Capt Sigsbee on the

patriotism and the reception that the new
cruiser and Capt. Sigsbee received was a
magnificent one.

These Wrappers.

The cause of the present
passenger rate war to the Pacific
coast is the refusal of the Ameri
can roads to allow the Canadian
Pacific the former "diferential."
In past years that road has been
allowed to sell tickets from IS to
$3.50 cheaper than American lines,
US the route was longer, and partly
by steamer to Tacoma and Seattle.
Now the Canadian Pacific has as
direct q route to the Alaska
country as any line, and the
American roads refused to allow
the differential. The result of the
present cut rates will probably be
that all the roads will hereafter do
business on the same basis.

takes from S. to SIS per month

THE RAILROAD WAR.

! Minneapolis Times: There was
NO change in the railroad rate wal
situation yesterday except the dis
patches from the Pacific coast an
nouucing . 50 per cent reduction
in rates from Tacoma and similar
points to the Twin Cities. A meet.
ing had been called by the inter.
ested lines III Chicago for yester.
day afternoon, but no definite re.
suits were announced. As the
matter now stands the 500 Line
has dec .red tibet it will place a
SO rate IN effect from the Twin
Cities to the Pacific coast tomorrow
and will keep it there until the
other roads meet 1t or give it some
satisfactory evidence that they i'll
tend to "be good"
It is stated by those in close
touch with officials of the 500
Line that that road is content to
let the matter rest the way it is
until the other li.es decide what
course to pursue. It IS natural
that the 500 Line would want to
do this. inasmuch as its rates are
at present $40 below those of its
competitors. But it. is not reason.
able to suppose that the competitors
will allow this to renal. in such
condition very long. There will
undoubt. dly be some line Of action
decided upon by Monday. Unjust
of necessity b. one the three
things: To meet the $10.rate, to
make an iron-clad agreement to
ma ntain tariff rates or to ignore

old kind Of rates that they can get.
If thy meet the 500 Lines $40.
rate, it IS said that that road will
at once reduce it's rate to S. be.
tween here and Seattle, and that if
that Is not sufficient, will bring it
down to 81, until some kind of a
settlement is made. The present
poIicv of the 500 is to enforce its
$40. rate until it can see the hand
