PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-Among the

dent of the Pennsylvania railway, today
was the following:

to conduct the services. The honorary
pallbearers will be the. directors of the
Pennsylvania Railway company. The d.
rectors of the company will meet tomor-

Both the Recent Accidents, 1t APP

Owing to the two serious accidents
which have occurred in the construction
of the new capitol building, one of them
being fatal, Labor Commissioner McHale
recently communicated with Attorney
General Douglas, asking him if the labor
bureau had the same supervision over
a public building as in factories and
mines. Mr.. Douglas yesterday made a
reply, giving it as his opinion that the
department of labor could exercise such
care and give directions as to the safety
devices as it might elect.
Factory Inspector Jules Moersch a
short time ago made an inspection of the
new building and made report to Com

SEIZE ALL THE FISH.
SWEEPING ORDER TO GAME WAR
DENS ISSUED BY EXECUTIVE
AGENT BEUTNER
WAR DECLARED ON PoACHERs
Game and Fish Commission Will
Act at the Market Instead of Try
Ing to Catch VtOIatOrs of the Law
The New Edict Is broad in It's
Terms.

Executive Agent Beutner yesterday is
sued orders to his wardens in the Twin
Cities, directing them to seize every ship
ment of fish made to ST. Paul and Min
neapolis from points In Minnesota. Tween
ty-fVe barrels more Of illegally caught
fish were rounded up yesterday. and MIR.
Beutner took the action he did with a
view to effectually putting a stop to the
wholesale capture of fish with nets in
the northern part of the state
During the last few weeks over 100 bar
rels Of pike, bass, croppies and perch
have been seized by the deputy wardens
of the game and fish commission In the
Twin Cities.
Since the commission has commenced
to seize fish the poachers have resorted
to trick which has failed to have the
desired effect with the agents of the
commission. The mouth of every fish
was TAUrced so as to appear that it had
been caught legally by hook and line.
The first few shipments came safely
through this way, after being examined
by the deputies, but as they continued to
come in barrel lots the commission be-
came suspicious, as the shipments came
from the same source as the first ones
which were shipped without any at
tempt at deception
Mr.. Beutner is confident that he can
break up the poachers' business, as 1t
has already proved pretty expensive for
the shippers. as nine out of every ten
consignments have been seized and re-
sold.
st. Paul and Minneapolis have for
long time secured their fish supply from
these poachers. The retail dealer asked
no question, and the public was even less
curious
AS there are not enough wardens to
chase the poachers all around the state.
Mr. Beutner has decided to operate from
the market end of the line and confiscate
everything that comes in. A great many
of the fish caught have been speared
at night through the aid Of %rtifcial
light. which is illegal. The only time
when it is practical to spear fish by nat
ural light is during the spawning season,
which has passed. Spearing fish by the
means of light is almost profitable
to the poacher as netting them, as the
light dazZles the finny tribe and they are
thus drawn to the surface in large num-
bers. The last legislature made it legal
to spear redhorse, pickerel and suckers,
but the use of artificial light is strictly
prohibited in all cases.
If the wardens continue to exercise
Vigilence there will likely be fish fam
inc in the Twin Cities, as heretofore the
supply has come almost entirely from
poachers in the northedn part Of the
state.

Threatened Break In ChicagO-St.
Paul Tariffs Has Come.

CHICAGO, June 6.-After maintaining
rates for nearly six months the Western
roads are understood to be cutting freight
rates between Chicago and st. Paul and
Kansas City. One line which runs to all
these points is said to be chiefly response
BILE for the trouble, and the whole mat
ter will probably be threshed out before
the interstate commerce commission,
which meets here next week
The trouble in freight rates is in pre-
cisely the same territory where passen-
ger rates are now badly demoralized
The rates on several commodities are
said to be off. but grain and provisions
are chiefly affected. The trouble in pro-
vision rates out Of Kansas City is proba-
bly, due to the fact that the rates out of
Chicago on export provisions have been
from three to four cents below tariff for
some time. When this is the case the
Kansas City packers insist upon being
put upon an equality with their Chicago
competitors. and the cut in rates is liable
to spread over large territory

"ROYAL ROUTE" REPAIRS.
Omaha Has Been Strengthening Out
Its Chicago Line.

Extensive improvements are being made
along the line of the Omaha from st.
Paul to Chicago. During the past two
months crews have been at work at a
number of points reducing curves, bal
lasting the roadbed with rock and cutting
down grades. The interlocking system
of switches. which has been put in along
the line, is being improved, and in several
place where the system has not formerly
been used. new towers, with connections,
are under process of construction. At
North Wisconsin junction, where the Ash
land branch connects with the main line,
the interlOcking system is being put in
and extensive repairs and improvements
made. An official of the road stated yes
terday that 1t is planned to make the
roadbed between the cities and Chicago
perfect in every respect. A large amount
of work has been done in the way Of
repair and improvement, but plans which
have been under consideration for some
time contemplate even greater improve
ment. In places where washouts=have oc-
CURED repairs to the track ballast have
been made with crushed rock. Heavy
steel is being used to replace worn rails,
and as soon as practicable the remainder
of the entire line will be laid with eighty
pound steel.

President Mellen, of the Northern Pa

next week. after an extended Eastern
trip. Nothing has yet been announced re-
garding the results of his stay in New
York, but a new rumor is afloat to the
effect that William McKensie, of Winni-
peg, met the Northern Pacific's president
in New York recently and made overtures
for the purchase of the Portage branch.
1t is planned to build westward from
Portage to parallel the main line Of the
Canadian Pacific, and also to extend east
ward and south from Portage to the head
of the lakes in order to give the shortest
route from the Manitoba wheat belt to
the great northern wheat market Mr..
McKensie figures that considerably re-
duced freight rates could be made with
the proposed lines constructed. 1t is UNI
derstood that President Mellen is also fig
uf1nS on the line west from 1OIldSS-
The recent earnings statement of the
Northern Pacific has given rise to consid-
cradle speculation on the part of those
not familiar with the work of the road
since the first of the year. The statement
showed a decrease in April earnings of
$15S, 255, which has given stockholders of
the company surprise. The condition of
the cOmpany's affairs, however, is said to
be perfectly satisfactory, and, though
heavy decrease in earnings for April is
reported, the sum is Offset by a heavy
expense account for repairs. OF the de-
crease fully $4,000 is assigned to con-
struction wsrk and permanent improve
mentS. Extensive work has been carried
on since the first of the year over the
western divisions of the road, and large
amount of repair work has been done,
which 1t will not be necessary to repeat.
Over 500 miles of new steel has been laid,
extensions the under construction from
Lewistown and other points and grades
have been reduced and curves cut down,
all of which has meant heavy expense.
The financial condition of the road is
better than ever and the gross earnings
for the fourth week in May place the fig
ures on the right side of the column
again. The gross earnings for the month
are $4,000 ahead of the month of May
last year.
