informally condenneed the~rampant trust

conclusion arrived at was that which
the travellers have always advocated
The attendance was not only composed
of men who sell goods for jobbers and
manufacturers, but of lawyers and
others who have an antip& thy and fear
OF the mighty and far-reaching concerns
that have sprung up in the country In
his opening address, President D. w.
Ahearn said.
"The Minneapolis league probably num-
bers no more than 20 men, but It's num-
her is no fair criterion of its power and
influence, which FaS been so great, that
it has set travelling men all over the
country to thinking, and rot only travel
ing men at that Newspapers are tax
ing up the question from the standpoint
of the commercial statesmen, and all con-
sfdered the Minneapolis league is en-
titled to no small gcredit."
Several other members present made
short addresses alCng the same line, and

point can be given that that afforded by
the annual statistical report Of tbs years
business, just completed by the canal

The report shows that total freight
tonnage of 25,255,S10 passed through, an
increase of 10 per cent over last years
traffic, Which aggregated q ,234, ,664 tons. In
this connection few comparisons with
the traffic of, previous years may prove
Of interest," In 1891, the first year that
record. Of the freight tonnage was kept,
the total amounted to i, f,567,7 tons; in 1885
it had reached 3,256,628 tons From that
period until the present there was
steady increase, with the exception OF
1891 when it fell behind a trihe.
AS showing he marve,ous growth with

this seasons commerce was only about
$4,000 tons less than that of the COM

news OF RAILROADS.
A. p. TANNER TO SUCCEED GEN
ERAL SUPERINTENDENT CLARKE,
esOF NJ 81 SIT. l..
THE TITLE WILL BE CHANGED

Circulars Announcing Some Promo
tions and Changes Issued by the
Great NOrthern-AIberf Lea Rate
Case Changed to n Charge of Dis
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of Lake Su-
perior Shown by Canal Report.
The withdrawal Of T. e. Clark, as gen
eraI superintendent. Of the Minneapolis &
St. Louis, to take service with the Iowa
Central, has brought promotion to Albert
P. Tanner, general freight agent of the
road in ST. Paul. After Jan. Mr.. Tan
ner will become general superintendent,
with headquarters In Minneapolis, with
the title of manager Of transportation.
Mr.. Tanner came to the cities to take
service with the Minneapolis & st. Louis
from the Santa Fe, with which company
he held several positions Of trust.
Though comparatively a young man,
Mr.. Tanner has been in railroad work
from his boyhood. He commenced, like
so many other railroaders, at the foot Of
the ladder; was first a messenger boy in
telegraph office, then operator, train
dispatcher and so on. When the Chicago
Santa Fe & California-the eastern part
of the Santa Fe system was opened un-
der that name, Mr.. Tanner became gen.
eral superintendent and afterwards re-
signed to take the position of assistant
general freight agent of the Atchison
system. His experience has been IN both
operating and traffic branches Of rail-
roading, but largely In the transportation
department.
With the new appointment, Mr.. Day
changes the title Of the officer. General
superintendent has not been the proper
title, as the st. Louis is organized, he
says, as other departments do not report
to that office. Accordingly Mr.. Tanner
will be known as superintendent of trans
portation.
General Freight Agent w. NJ Hopkins,
of the ST. Louis, is left without general
agent in St. Paul by the new deal and
was not ready yesterday to announce the
name of a successor to Mr.. Tanner.

CHANGES THE COMPLAINT.
Ransom Bros, of Albert Lea, Nov
Charge Discrimination.

Ransom Bros, of Albert Lea, Now
Charge Discrimination.
The Albert Lea rate case, which has
been in the hands of the railroad and
warehouse commission for several
months, has developed new phase, as
a result of an executive session at the
commission offices, in which the Ransom
Bros. and other shippers at Albert Lea
conferred with the commissioners and
officials of the roads interested. The
original complaint has been withdrawn
and an amended petition introduced,
changing the front of the complaints
The amended complaint sets forth that
Ransom Bros. have been unable to agree
with the Milwaukee and Omaha in secur-
ing fair and equitable rate to a large
number of points, and that Albert Lea
has been Disseminated against in favor
of Twin City jobbing interests. The COM
plainants therefore petition that they be
given the same rates to points in Omaha
territory as apply to the same points
from the Twin Cities.
Copies of the complaint as amended
were served on the two interested roads
yesterday In the former complaint the
Albert Lea interests demanded 80 per
cent of the combination of local rates.
