ALL THE SCALPERSs FAULT
Inquiry Into the Passenger Rate War
of the Trunk Lines

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The question of
ticket scalpers and their relation with the
railroad companies entered into the pro-
ceedngs of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. which today continued its investi-
cation into the causes of the Canadian
Pacific rate war. After F. w. Whitney,
representing the Great Northern Railway,
had concluded his direct statement he was
requested by Mr.. McNicolls, passenger
traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific, to
read letter having reference to the reduc-
ton of passenger rates from st. Paul to
Victoria, B. c. The letter was written in
1856 to the Canadian Pacific Railway Com
pany The first paragraph was to the effect
that there had been no difficulty with the
local scalpers on the subject of rates, but
concluded with the suggestion that the rates
to Victoria should be reduced and the mat
ter taken out of the hands OF the scalpers'
Mr.. Whitney, when asked to read the cor
respondence said he would be willing to &c
so. providing McNicoll would file the letters
he had received on the subject.
During the discussion that ensued, Mr..
McNicoll declined to give the required as
surances and eventually the Chairman
ruled that whenever Mr.. Whitney based his
statements on a letter he will be expected
TO produce and file the original correspoa-
dence. He added that the Canadian Pacific
when 1t presented its case, would be ex-
pected to do the same.
Mr.. Whitney in the course of his state
ment, maintained that American lines had
been held up by the Canadian Pacific, and
as the price of peace had been obliged 20
give up differentials. Speaking of the in
creased traffic brought about by the Klon-
dixie boom, Mr., Whitney declared that il
the Canadian Pacific had maintained the
tariff rates the American railroad COM
panies would have sustained enormous
losses.
The speaker made a strong point of the
fact that the passenger rates throughout
the country had been completely democrat
ICED as a result of the action of the Canad-
ian Pacific Railway.
MIR. Whitney showed that the Canadian
Pacific had forced the compa nies to reduce
passenger fares from New York to ST.!
Paul and other Western points to 1 cent
mile. He declared that such cut meant
the loss of enormous sums to the compan-

TERMINAL ISLAND NOTES
A Couple of Boys Have Narrow Es-
cape From Drowning

TERMINAL ISLAND, Aug. 1.-TWO boys
who were bathing at the Seventh street
float had narrow escape from drowning
this morning, and If 1t had not been for
the providential presence of Prof Kahn,
the swimming teacher. both of the boys
would now, in all probability have been
food for the fishes. One of the lads, who is
a good swimmer, was coming in from the
float. which is about 100 yards from Shore
when his companion, who is only begin
ner. gave out and grabbed him, pinioning
sh,s arms so that he was helpless. Both
boys sank twice. Prof. kahn's attention
was called to the drowning boys by an
ether boy on shore. He Immediately went
70 their rescue and brought them both safe
10 N shore. Beyond their fright the boys
are none the worse.
The tides have been unusually high the
mast few days, and have washed out the
roadbed of the track where it crosses the
nath Of the old channel which used to con-
meet the inner bay with the ocean, year
ago, before the breakwater between Dead
mans and Rattlesnake islands was built.
The site of this old channel is just east Of
the wharf, and 1t may be necessary yet to

He Is an American

STOCKTON, Cal, Aug. IA suit has
been begun In Calaveras county by a Mex
lean named Barrios against Superintend-
ent James Schmadeke of the Blair Con-
solidated Mining Company for breach of
contract.
Barrios had a contract with the mine to
furnish 100 cords of wood. One day
Schmadeke, who had heard that a son of
Barrios had enlisted in the Spanish army
since the war between the United States
and Spain broke out, asked Barrios
whether 1t was true. The wood dealer
gave an evasive answer, to which the SUI
perintendent retorted: "Weil, IL find out
that It is true, you won't haul any more
wood to this NINE"
1t seems that Schmadeke subsequently
learned it was a fact that a son OF Barrios
had really enlisted in the Spanish army.
and 1t is said that Barrios was forthwith
instructed to cease hauling wood At any
rate, he discontinued the delivery of the
wood. and the filing of the complaint fol-
lowed.

: Today the Chautauqua Summer School
class on civics discussed the subject Of ter
ritories and their relation to the federal
government, consisting of statehood and
the relation of the states to the union.
Prof. Root cited standard authorities to
show that the idea Of Estate Sovereignty
was untenable, since none Of the states or
colonies ever exercised sovereign power
before entering the union.
In today's lesson on physical culture Mrs.
Rolfe said the worship of the waist line is
not comprehensive nor intelligent enough,
as 1t generally stops at size, where supple
ness is far more important and without
which grace of body is impossible. Where
WE have freedom Of the waist muscles we
can use our bodies as nature intended we

this point.

A Klondike Caution

F. Norton. formerly one of the proprie-
tors of the Daily Sun, came in from Alaska
Sunday night. and will start on his return
io,rnev the last of the week. He has some
promising claims on the Little Manook,
which are thirty feet under ground, the
work of digging being all done in the win
ter and the cleanup in the spring. work
cannot be done during the summer, as the
whole country is bog. From october TO
February they never saw the sun, ana IN
June there were days when there was moth
ing but sun-no darkness. Mr. Norton s
advice to those thinking of going there Is
that to a man by nature strong the country
has no terrors The hardships have been
greatly exaggerated. AS to going there
without good capital. he says: "Those who
have assured incomes at home had better
remain there, unless they are so situated
that they can afford to take the chances OF
failure. While 1t Is true that hundreds of
men have returned from the Klondike with
fortunes of greater or smaller magnitude,
it must always be remembered that they
are the ones who have gained publicity,
that they are the very few of the great
many; that the Sue which is not uncovered
to the public's opinion is the dark one. the
enc which contains the stories of disap-
pointment. failure and ofttimes tragedy.
A reasonable estimate would place the fall
ures at least at 80 per cent. Little is said
of those thousands who will return from
that country of fee and hardships ruined
in health and pocketbook, and hopeless for
the future"
