There is a strong proba bility that
Gov. Clough will rescind his action In
authorizing tweGty-four Minnesota
towns to organize new national guard
companies, TO take the places OF the
companies being mustered into the vol
unteer service, by having them num-
bered the Fourth and Fifth regiments
and leave the matter with the next
legislature for approval.
The influence which has been brought
to bear upon the governor and the gen.
eral unpopularity of the move Will
probably lead him to take such action,
although he has given out nothing
definite about the matter as yet.
The governor spent a few hours at
Camp Ramsey yesterday, but could not
be seen at his Office. 1t is thought that
he has about made up his mind to
number the new regiments the Fourth
and Fifth, which would meet the ap-
proval of the present officers of the
guard, as their places would thus be
waiting for them upon their return
from the campaign in Cuba.
One of the arguments brought to
bear upon Gov. Clough by those de-
sirous Of securing assignment for their
towns, was that many OF the guards
men would, after a siege among the
Spaniards down in Cuba, be glad to
withdraw from the guard upon their
return to Minnesota. But since there
is a possibility or a doubt as to the
probability of their being called out
of the state, great deal of influence
has been brought to bear upon the gov
ernor during the past two days.
There has been, to the contrary not
withstanding, a feeling that they may
loose their places and standing in the
state guard within the rext few days,
as soon as they are mustered into the
service, as the towns designated by the
governor to raise companies will be
quick to take advantage Of the priv
3lege of raising company.
Should the volunteer army remain in
camp for several weeks after being
mustered in, and the war come to q
close, there would virtually be two
separate and distinct military organi-
cations in the state. The old guard
and the new guard. Since the indica-
tions point so strongly to an early
termination of the war, such a state Of
affairs would be decidedly embarrass-
ing. -s--'
This would be the exact status of the
military organization Of this state un-
less Gov. Clough takes the action re-
ferred to above. In fact Gov. Clough
is in predicament. On one hand mill
tary men condemn his action in tax
ing the action, and on the other hand
he is besieged by applications from
prominent Minnesotans for the priv
ilege of raising companies in their
towns.
Senator Collester, of Waseca, called
yesterday morning, in company with
delegation from his town, and asked
that another company be located there
in place of the one that has gone, or,
at any rate, that the town be assured
of retaining company. He received

IMPORTANT MEETING.
Central Passenger Men VIII Talk
Business Today.

CHICAGO, May 3.-The meeting of
the Central Passenger association to-
morrow will be one Of the most i'm
portant held by that body in year.
There are several matters to be dis
cussed that are of great Importance
to the roads. The first thing to come
before the meeting will be the means
Of preventing scalping on the business
Of the large conventions and meetings
Of the year, and the fate of the anti
scalping bill Will also be discussed.
The interchangeable mileage ticket
problem will be considered, and the
form Of ticket to be used will be ser
tied If possible. The supreme court
has declared that the ticket now used
by the roads is an infringement of
the patents held by eX-General Passen-
ger Agent Thrall, of the Northwestern
road. The Thrall ticket has always
given the greatest satisfaction to the
roads using 1t, and the roads may de-
eide to use its form In the inter-
changeable mileage ticket. 1t is likely
that the ticket invented by General
Agent Sebastian, of the Rock Island
road, will also come up for considera-
ton.
In addition to these things there Is a
long list of routine matters to come
before the meeting.

MINNESOTA sCANDINAvIANs
Organize a Regiment of Volunteers
for War.

In the expectation that the war will not
end with the defeat of the Spanish at Manila,
the Scandinavians of Minnesota are ener-
getically at work enrolling recruits for a
regiment to be made up exclusively Of sons
of the Northland. The movement was quietly
started about week ago, and up to last
evening 665 names had been secured.
The movement had Its inc.piency with
Christian Brandt of ST. Paul. who, through
the weekly 'Nordvestern" issued call.
This call has met with enthusiastic responses,
and in various parts Of the state the work is
we'll under way with companies already
filled.
In st. Paul Norwegian and Swedish
company are nearly complete. At Fergus
Falls two companies are being organized, one
by ex-Congreseman Haldor E. Boen, and the
other by S. A. Severson, first lieutenant Of
the national guards. Mr.. Severson had, up to
yesterday, signed ffty-fve men, Of whom
twenty-five are six-fOoters, and in every way
capable of enduring hardships. One company
has already been raised at Zumbrota, by
Judge John Stenerson, and a second is well
under way.
For the Scandinavian regiment none under
twenty-one years of age accepted, and
special efforts are being made to secure only
such men as have drilled in the Old country.
In this the promoters of the regiment have
been successful and when the LOCO men
have been secured it will in all probability
be remarkable for its physical excellency.

UNCLE SAM GIVES NOTICE
SAYS HE WILL NOT PAY TWO
PRICES FOR FARES
refuses to Submit to ExtortiOnate
Charges, and Intimates to the
Roads That a Rate of a Cent a
Mile Would Re About the Right
Thing in His Judgment for
Transporting Troops.

The United States government does
not propose to pay more for transport
ing troops in time of war than the
rates the railroads voluntarily give to
bodies Of civilians in times of peace.
George r. Blanchard, of New York,
chairman of the Joint Traffic associa-
ton, has received a letter to that effect
from Marshall F. Ludd1ngton, quarter
master general Of the United States
army, who, in diplomatic language, ad-
vfsed the chairman that the govern
ment will not pay the railroads high
er rate than one cent a mile per
soldier for transporting troops.
The letter recommended that q rate
to. be charged the government for
transporting troops be agreed upon by
all the railroads. and intimated that a
rate OF one cent would be considered
fair by the government. The quarter
master general went on to say that IL
all the railroads agreed upon such
rate, all land grant claims will be
waived by the government and the
business of moving the soldiers will be
equally distributed among the roads.
The communication said that such an
agreement is desired by the government
in order to avoid the necessity of ad-
vertising for bids for the movement of
each body of troops. To wait until bids
could be submitted would prevent the
prompt despatch of troops to the points
of concentration.
Gen. Luddington laid special stress
upon the fact that if the government
Is at liberty to move troops at will each
railroad will get a certain share of the
business. The tone Of the letter was
courteous and diplomatic, but is no
doubt intended to convince the rail-
roads that the government does not in
tend to be held up by them and to be
charged twice as much for transporta-
ton as the price conceded to the Grand
Army Of the republic at its recent en-
campment. The communication has
been referred to the commissioners of
the Joint Traffic association and will
be brought up at meeting of the as
sociation next Friday.
