THEIR GRAIN RATES.
Information From Western +

Information From Western Roads.
All the Western roads have been cited to
appear before the interstate commerce COM
mission in Chicago, March 8 and explain the
discrimination that is made by them on
grain, particularly corn, for export west of
the Mississippi against that grown east of the
mississippi. particularly in Illinois. The
farmers of Illinois have complained be-
cause it shuts them out of the field alto
gether and the matter has been taken I'D by
the Chicago board of trade, which has in
duced the interstate commerce commission
10 ented upon an investigation. Such dis
c:lnlnation, II proven to exist, is clearly a
violation OF law
Copies Of the complaint and citation were
received yesterday by the freight representa-
tives CT the st. Paul-Chicags roads. The
cmopiaint sets forth that unjust discrimina-
ton exists against shipments of -four from
points east of the Mississippi, river to New
York, for export as compared with rates
west of the Mississippi, and that it is de-
trimental to the agricultural interests of I'LL
nois. Chicago IS the basing point for east
Dound export rates for grain and points on
the Mississippi take 116 per cent of the Chi
caso rate. The trunk lines have put in force
rate OF 13l2 cents from the Mississippi
river on corn, originating west of the river
ana ID cents per 100 pounds from Chicago
Iowa and Nebraska corn thus nets higher
prlce to the farmers than IlIionis corn and
the result is that Illionts farmers suffer and
their business has become stagnapt
The roads cain that the higher rate from
trans Mississippi points is necessary in order
that they may compete with the gulf roads.
but the Chicago beard of trade denies this
claim and points as proof to the Illinois
Central, which takes all the corn for ship
ment within forty miles of Chicago to New
Orleans at a rate which makes corn en- that
rout worth three cents a bushel more than
on any of the roads running east and west
from it.
There have been satisfactory adjustments
Of rates for export corn at all the principal
North Atlantic ports, from Montreal to New
port News and Norfolk, and the interstate
commerce commission will try to get an
adjustment in this case which will satisfy
the farmers and comply with the law

Frank Waterhouse, general manager
of the British-American steamship COM
pany, at Seattle, passed through this
city yesterday on his way to the coast.
He has just returned from London,
where the company's head offices are
located, and he went to the coast on the

Our company" said Mr.. Waterhouse
to reporter of The G o b e, will
put on an additional boat to ply be-
tween Puget sound ports and Hawaii.
The new steamer will be of 5000 tons
and will begin service in about a
month.
I'VE will also put on a steamer from
Seattle to st. Michaels for the Alaskan
and YOukOn business. There will be a
new stern wheeler running between St.
MichaePS and Dawson City, and the
company will also soon have in COM
mission two refrigerator barges run
ing to Dawson City, so that residents
there will be able to get fresh meat
and vegetables which they have been
unable to procure in the past
1.-The outlook for Alaskan business
this year is not as good as it was a
few years ago." continued Mr. Water
house. The government of British
Columbia recently passed an act to ex-
clude AFRICANS from the Atlin dis
trict, and the effect will be to shut off
a great deal of travel in that direction
Every line of business in Skagway and
Juneau will suffer from the effects of
the exclusion law, for those places ex-
pected to do most of the Atlin business
this year. They are the natural ports
of entry to that district, and as most
of the miners are Americans, there will
be little chance to build up any bust
ness there. 1t has greatly injured the
trade prospects.
The Klondyke, however, will be good
for some time, and we can turn our
attention to that this season.
In England" continued Mr. Water
house, Il found business particularly
good. All the ship yards are working
full time and there is great and I'M
usual activity in the shipping trade.
There was no talk of war with
France while / was there and the out
look for business seemed very excel

Schorr, Of Memphis, for SANDER, was with
drawn at Little Rock Col Schorr intended
