plies were favorable and encouraging.

Side committee, was out Of the city and

mittee on legal relations, made his report

FIXING FLOUR RATES.
Twin City Freight Agents Consid-
erinE Some of the Details.

Twin City Freight Agents Consid-
erinE Some Of the Details.
An adjourned meeting of the flour
committee. consisting Of the freight
agents Of the Twin Cities, was held in
Minneapolis yesterday and resulted in
the naming Of ]. T. Clark, general traf-
f1c manager Of the Omaha, and w. L.
Martin, general freight agent of the
500, as O committee to confer with the
officials Of the Eastern lines at meet
ing that will be held in Buffalo tomor-
row. Messrs. Clark and Martin left
yesterday afternoon for Buffalo.
A number of minor details in con-
nection with flour shipments were ar
ranged at the meeting yesterday, but
no effort was made todeal with the
more important question of flour rates.
1t was the general opinion of all that
nothing could be done in that direction
until after the meeting of the officials
in Buffalo.
1t is certain that the anticipated raise
from 20 to 221a cents from Minneapolis
will not become effective on July /,
and it may be delayed even later than
July Is, and that it is probable that the
lake rate will remain at Is cents until
the rail rate is raised.
Nothing certain will be known until
after the meeting in Buffalo tomorrow.

Hanna Men in Control and McKin.

COLUMBUS. O., June 21.-The Re-
publican state convention, which met
mere today, was almost free from the
Iactlonal fight of former years. At
ter the senatorial contest of last win
ter the factions became known as 'sthe
national administration men" and the
state administration men," The for
mer had the delegates today from sew
enteen OF the congressional districts
ana the other four districts were in
dispute, owing to. county. contests. The
national administration Republicans
were SO strong that the opposition to
them was not felt anywhere. OF the
four districts in which there were con-
tests that of the Twenty first district
IL which the delegation of Mayor Me-
kisson. of Cleveland, figured, was the
only one OF any proportions, and it was
regarded by some as the Inauguration
OF third term movement for Mayor
Mch1sson. The McKisson contestants
kept the committee on. credentials in
session all night, and all the cases were
decided against the already very small
minority. The new state committee
old not organize, awaiting the report
on credentials, but it is understood
that Cyrus Huling will be chairman of
the central committee, and Harry M.
Daugherty Of the executive commit

ton and the state bolting Republicans
in the legislature and those resolutions
