the handwriting on the wall It con-
veys q clear reminder that the COM
mission approves Of the attitude Of the
American lines, and that unless it
changes its policy congress may be

We carry more passengers to the coast

REDUCTION IN EFFECT.
FosstOn Branch Brings the Rates to
Grand Forks Down r. Peg.

The Great Northern and ths Northern Pa
eihc have reduced freight rates between st.
Paul and Grand Forks, applying blanket rates
to Fargo to that point. The reductions have
been made on account OF the new rates on
the Fosston extension of the Great Northern
from Duluth to Crookston and Grand Forks
IL order to equalize the rates 1t was neces-
sary to apply them from st. Paul.
The reductions on both roads are similar.
Merchandise Is rated ten cents lower than
formerly; a four-cent reduction Is made on
carload freight farm machinery, implements
and vehicles. This makes the rate per car
from St. Paul to Grand Forks $12 less than
the old rate The freight on coal Is reduced
% cents per ton, or s. per car, and similar
reduction Is made on lumber.
The same rates apply on the Great Northern
from Duluth to Grand Forks.

The freight situation In the south Is so bad
that it is difficult for the Western and North
western roads to deal with It. The Northern
roads have advantages which the Southern
roads have not. They are In more direct line
with the Pacific coast points and they can
carry freight across the continent much more
quickly than the Southern reads cam When
ever the Northern roads seem to prosper the
Southern lines think It is due to cut rates
and they Immediately proceed to undercut
them. In this way a continual warfare exists
and there seems no way TO stop it. Said a

Was the Spanish Flee, at Manila Sunday by the American Fleet.
 How it Was Done.

HONG KONG, May LA ter rible naval battle has been fought between the American Asiatic squa- dron, commanded byAdmiral Dewey, and the Spanish fleet under Admiral Montelo, in Manila bay. Two sep arate engagements were had in quick succession aud the Spanish, fleet was completely defeated, at least two of the Spanish warships being destroyed The loss of life on the Spanish side was great. Com mander Cadarzo, of the Spanish war ship Mariana Christina, is among the killed The American loss of life was small and the damage to, the fleet was trivial
 Such is the news received here from an authentic source. It is fur ther reported that Admiral Dewey has captured Manila, but that re- port has not yet been confirmed,
 The American fleet sailed into Manila waters last night and slipped into Manila bay under cover of darkness. At o'clock, this morning the guns of the flag ship Olympia engaged the forts and began terrific cannonading of the Notifications in the outer harbor.
 The American fleet was then att tackled ir the rear by the Spanish fleet which had come up from it's hiding place off Manila bay. The Americans were then forced to di- vide their attention between the forts and the Spanish fleet.
 After hot engagem ent the Americans withdrew and while at- tempting to lanc their wounded were again attacked by Montejo. Then the battle began in earnest and it ontinued until the Spanish had been completely routed. The Don Juan de Austria was blown up and the Maria Christiana and the Cdstilla were burned. Martejo was compelled to transfer his flag during the course of the second en- gagement and narrowly escaped with bis life.
