TWIN CITY JoBBERs ARRANGING
THREE SPRING EXCURSIONS
FOR COUNTRY MERCHANTS
AT ONE FARE AND ONE-FIFTH.
SOME OF THE ROADS HAVE
AGREED TO GRANT THE RATE
ASKED FOR.
DATES HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED YET
The Time When Arranged VIII
Cover a Week for Each
Excursion.

The railroads entering the Twin
Cities have again given the sign that
they stand ready at all times to do
their share in the advancement of the
commercial interests of the Northwest,
this time by announcing their inten-
ton to accede to the request made by
the jobbers for reduced rates for the
spring series of excursions of country
merchants to st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. Last week President E. A Young,
of st. Paul, and Secretary w. w.
Heffelf1nger, Of Minneapolis, Of the
Twin City and Northwestern Mer-
chants Association, sent out a letter
to the passenger agents of the nine
different lines requesting that the lines
make a rate of one and one-fifth for
the round trip for series of three
spring excursions from the cities and
towns in this territory
In the letter the officers of the as
ISOLATION explained that the roads in
territory tributary to Chicago and ST.
Louis had made the one and one-fiftn
rate with a condition that 500 mer-
chants should appear upon each speci-
fed date and urged further that the
local roads up here in the Northwest
do the same, but waive the condition
as to number. At the meeting Of the
!. railroads, which will be held in a day
or two. it will be found that nearly
all the roads seen regarding the mat
ter have already signified their inten-
sion of granting the asked for rate and
without the condition as to the num-
Der of travellers
The officers Of the association feel
much gratified at the graceful cooper
alton of the roads and state that there
will be three excursions of a week each
during the spring months, the exact
dates for which, and the fact that the
roads officially authorize the reduced
rates, to be announced at the conclu-
sion of the meeting Of the passenger
officials

KLoNDIKE RATE QUESTION.
Railroad Representatives Will Try
to Straighten 1t Out.

Klondike will be the most important sub

: passenger and traffic officials of the Western
lines. There are several details of consider
able moment bearing this subject which
will be exhaustively discussed at the meeting
today, so that tomorrow the Western officials
will be prepared for action when they meet
with the officials of the Central and Eastern
lines tomorrow.
The matter of through tickets from Eastern
points to places in Alaska will be taken
up. and there Promises to be some difference
of opinion as to the advisabillty of putting
such plan in effect. In the first place
some of the steamship lines have shown a
disposition to be arbitrary about rates reser-
vations and traffic arrangements while on
the other hand, some of the Eastern lines
seem to be averse to guaranteeing passengers
passage ON boats which are unable to handle
all the business waiting for them at the Pa
cifc coast ports. The matter of routine
business, and the subject of making rates
for dogs shipped to the gold couet,y, ETC.,
will be among the things taken up an con-
sidered.

500 WINS THE CASE.
Fight of the Home About That Ele-
vatOr Insurance.

vatOr Insurance.
A decision upon a much mooted point
in insurance law was handed down bv
the supreme court, Justice Canty writ
ing the opinion, yesterday. 1t is in the
suit of the Home Insurance company
against the 500 road, which has been
in the courts of the state for six years
or more.
The litigation arises out of the burn
ing of a large elevator on the 500 road
Nov. %, 1891, 56,499 bushels Of wheat
being burned. The wheat was the prop
erty of the shippers. 1t was insured
for 900 in the Home company, as a
protection against loss on account of
the carriers liability. 1t was insured
in eleven other companies against loss
in the elevator. The eleven other com
panies paid their pro rata share Of the
loss, and judgment was obtained
against the Home company for $28, 6O7.
This the company paid, and then sued
to be subrogated and allowed to pay
only its pro rata share of the losses
with the other eleven companies.
If this had been allowed. it would
have recovered back a goodly share Of
the amount paid the railroad company,
but the courts do not allow it, holding
that the grain was still in transit While
1t was In the elevator waiting for the
steamers to take it eastward to it's
destination. Consequently the Home
company is liable to the full amount
Of the policy it issued, or the full
amount of the damage, which in this
case happens to be considerably less
than the face value of the policy.
The syllabus Is as follows:
Home Insurance Company, of New York. ap-
pellant, VS.. Minneapolis, st. Paul & Saut
Ste. Marie Railway Company. respondent.
A common carrier stored in its elevator the
and procured twelve policies of insurance on
such grain. While all of these policies were
in force a loss by fire occurred, for which
the carrier was liable to the shippers. 1t was
held that the policy issued by the plaintiff
covered only the liability of the carrier to
the shippers. (See Minneapolis, ETC., Ry. Co.
vs. Home ms. Co., SO MINI. 1861 The other
eleven policies covered grain of the com
mon carrier or held by it in trust.
Held the carrier was, in case Of loss, en-
titled to recover in his own name these
eleven policies, holding in trust for the ship
pers all in excess of its own claims on
the grain, but as the carrier was liable to
them for the loss, 1t would hold all Of the
amount recovered on its own claim and when
so, not as trustee, but in satisfaction of its
liability to them. Under these circum-
stances the eleven policies covered only the
liability of the carrier to the shippers, the
same as did the policy issued by plaintiff,
and the total amount of insurance being
greater than the amount of loss, each of the
twelve policies must contribute ratably with
the others, and after each has contribut-
ed the plaintiff is not entitled to be subrogat-
ed to the carriers rights against the other
eleven insurers. Judgment affirmed.

THROUGH RATE TO DAWSON.
Western Roads VIII Meet This Week
to Discuss Them.


CHICAGO, Jan. 24-Eastern and
Western roads will take up the ques ion
of rates to Alaska this week, and an
effort mill be made to agree on through
tariffs to Dawson City. Tomorrow the
roads of the Western Passenger associ-
alton will meet and discuss the ad-
visibility of asking the interstate COM
merce commission to SUSPEND such parts
of the law as will enable them to meet
the low rates to be made by the Cana
Dian Pacific without subjecting them
selves to the penalty of violating the
long and short haul Of the interstate
comm cree law. On the day following,
the roads of the Central Passenger as
ISOLATION will meet for the same pur-
pcse, and on Wednesday a joint meet
ing of Eastern and Western roads will
be held. There is no doubt that the
Western roads will tomorrow ask the
suspension Of the long and short haul
clause of the Interstate commerce law
AS matters now stand the roads of this
country are not able to meet the COM
petition Of the Canadian Pacific with
out demoraliZing their local rates The
Canadian Pacific insists upon the en-
fCrcement Of its differentials on Alaska
business Notwithstanding the fact that
it has as good line for this business
as anybody else. The Western roads
will, after everything else has been
tried, meet whatever rates the Cana
dian Pacific may press in. 1t is likely
that the roads of the Central Passenger
association will act in the same manner
as the Western lines.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the Western Passenger association
was held today but nothing beyond
routine matters were up for considera-
ton.
meeting of the Western roads will
be held on Friday to consider details in
connection with the rates to the Mardi
Gras at New Orleans. The chief matter
to be taken up is the points in the ter
ritory Of the association from which
the rates are to be made.

The corporation attorney has filed an
answer in the suit brought by Patrick
]. Lynch against the city to recover
$4,000 for salary due him as a police
officer. Lynch was discharged from
the force in June, 1893, by Mayor

was never confirmed by the council as
required by the charter. He remained
outside the breastworks until Mayor
Smith reappointed him in September,
1885, The answer filed by the city
sets up that Lynch was not eligible to
appointment to the force, being unable
to read or write English and not a
citizen Of the United States at the time
he was first appointed in August, 1887.
Further, that on June 16, 1893, he re-
signed from the force and abandoned
