A Canndian,s Alterations.

Traffic Manager McNicoll, of the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad, concluded his direct
statement before the Irterstate-commerce
Commission at Chicago yesterday in regard
to the rate war between the Canadian Pa
cifc and the American lines Mr.. McNicoll.
In his closing remarks, told of his efforts
to restore peace with the American compa-
MES and how his efforts were thwarted by
the refusal of the companies to discuss the
question of differentials He insisted that
the American lines had refused to accept
suggestions and had said that the Canadian
Pacific must agree to all their terms Mr..
Eustis, general passenger agent of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, he said, had
told them that there would be legislation
against the Canadian Pacific and that Con-
gress would have legislated last session if
the subject had not been overshadowed by
the Cuban crisis. Mr.. McNicoll said that
he did not take much notice of these re-
marks, as Mr.. Eustis did not represent the
American people. He denied that the inter-
state traffic enjoyed by the Canadian Pa
cific amounted to S5OOOOOOO. While there
were no statistics for passenger traffic the
freight traffic amounted only to $19OO,OOO
year. On the other hand. the Canadian Pa
ciffc, he said. bought supplies from the
United States to the amount of 5000, 900
yearly.
The feature Of the afternoon session was
supplied by Vice President Clough of the
Great Northern Railroad who presented the
political and economic side of the controver-
sy to the commission. In beginning his adj
dress he said 1T would be the duty of the
commission to make recommendations to
Congress. in order that legislation with re-
gard to railways could be altered. He said
that the Canadian Pacific Railway had
tapped all the important traffic centers in
the United States. and its policy was to haul
freight from one American point to another
at yates which the American lines refused
to accept. He contended that the excep-
ti9nal circumstances of the case called for
exceptional legislation The statistics of the
customs department showed, he said that
the freight traffic diverted to the Canadian
Pacific amounted to nearly or quite 10 ZOO 900
tons every year, and represented a loss of
earnings to the American roads CT not less
than $50 1900 TO $25 1000 every twelve
months: Every time the foreign road di-
verted from the American lines $21 ,0C0 600 of
traffic, Mr.. Clough contended, it took $14,-
100000 directly out of the pockets of the
American workman. The hearing will be
6umed to-day.
