The Empress Tuen comes from a
pauper Tartar family, which sold her

President Burt and Traffic Manager Monroe
of the Union Pacific, came to st. Paul yester-
day and were in consultation all day with off,
Gals of the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific. Their visit revived the rumors that
have recently been current that the Union
Pacific was negotiating for a right of way
over the Oregon Short Line from Oregon to
the North Pacific coast ports, and that COM
bination would be formed that would shn.
out the Burlington from participation in coast
traffic.
The Union Pacific is known to have a
desire to regain control OF the Oregon Short
Line, which was part of its system previous
to the receivership. That the company is en-
titled to the restoration of that line is con-
ceded by railroad men, and it is believed that
steps under way whereby the line
will be restored to the Union Pacific

Another matter under discussion yesterday
by the railroad magnates was the freight rate
war preeipitated by the fight between the
Southern Pacific and the Panama route That
trouble has already resulted in the reduction
of rates on canned salmon from the coast to
New York. and it threatens to result in a
general cutting of rates On all goods and
products Of the Pacific coast. The North
western roads want to stop the war if cossi-
Bile, for 1t will be disastrous to them. IT
is a matter in which they have no direct con-
Germ, and they do not relish the idea of being

Ranches of North Dakota.
BISMARCK, N. D., Aug. 5.-The beef
round-ups have begun on the big cat
tie ranges in the western part of the
state, and the first shipments of cat
tie have been made to the markets.
When the roundup is completed this
fall, the ranges will be depleted of cat
tie to great extent, for three of the
largest outfits in the western part of
the state are going out of business.
These are the Three Sevens," largely
owned and controlled by H. S. Boice,
the 20 y" outfit, owned by Towers &
Gudgell. and the Seven bar-Seven,' -
owned by the Custer Cattle company,
in which 7. c. Power, of Helena, Mont.
is the principal owner. The largest Of
these firms is the Three Sevens, which
has annually driven up from the South
and turned loose on the Western ranges
four herds of cattle, with from 1900
to 1000 steers to the herd. These have
been allowed to mature for two years
and have then been shipped at a profit
of from $40 to $25 an animal.
The immense free range and the pos
sibility of wintering the cattle at little
expense, because of of the natural shell
ter afforded by the brakes of the Bad
Lands, has rendered this a profitable
business, and these three firms have
cleared large sums. But the steady
influx of small ranchmen, who have
located at the watering places long
used by the immense rowing bands Of
cattle, fenced off much Of the range,
and stripped thousands Of acres of fine
range for hay, has forced out the big
men, and they have begun to clear up
their holdings Of cattle preparatory to
removing South. where they will en-
gage in the raising of native Texans,
in which there is a smaller profit, but
less Inconvenience from the presence

The Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railway yesterday took the initiative in
reduction of passenger rates between
st. Paul and Chicago, in both direc-
tfons, and on Aug. 9 will put the new
tariff into effect. The new rate between
Chicago and st. Paul will be IS, in
stead of $11.50, and other lines will
probably be obliged to make like re-
ductions
This reduction is said by officials of
the Milwaukee road to be necesSitated
by the rate war between the American
lines and the Canadian Pacific railway.
That war has reduced rates between
ST. Paul and New York to such an eX-
tent that ticket brokers can easily
manipulate tickets between this city
and Chicago. Many of these through
tickets have come into the market and
have resulted in the scalplng of local
rates from this city to Chicago and
vice versa. In self-defense, the Mil
waukee road says it is obliged to cut
the rate.
The company will also reduce the 10
cal rates between Chicago and Omaha
to 1926 on the same date.
The reductions made will affect not
only st. Paul, Omaha and Kansas City
traffic, but all that beyond, the new
fares being rendered as basing rates
to connecting lines.

.ENGLAND'S FRIENDSHIP
Expressed Too Plainly for Germany
to Be Mistaken.

NINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 5.-After a six weeks
sojourn in England, Prof. Conway Mcmillan,
of the university, has returned to this city,
full of information regarding the situation
Of friendship existing between. this country
and the land across the water. According
to Prof. Mcmillan. England is entirely with
the United States in the present trouble
with Spain. In many ways those who handle
the Diplomatic affairs of the British cousins
have given evidence of their strong regard,
particularly at the time when Kaiser Will
helms war ships attempted to start a lit
tie trouble with Admiral Dewey at Manila.
1t has been the custom for several years
past for the English war ships to vancouver
each summer in the channel. About the
time Of the trouble at Manila the English
government announced that the evolutions
would be called off, giving as reason that
the coal supply was not sufficient. The fleet
modified at Kiel and Kronstadt and II
did not take the Germans long to understand
that this was John Bulls answer to Ger
