EXPORT RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Begins the Investigation.

Interstate Commerce Commission
Begins the investigation.
NEW YORK, May 15-The interstate
commerce commission today began an
investigation in this city of the export
rate situation, and the alleged manipua-
ton of low export grain tariffs, of which
complaints have been made by New York
merchants against the east-bound lines
to Newport News Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and other North Atlantic points. It
is asserted that tariffs for export trade
are lower than those in domestic ship
ments, and that domestic grain has been
carried at the low export rates on the
representation that 1t was destined to
foreign port. The commission is to hold
sessions in all the principal cities of the
East and West. 1t Is proposed to secure
evidence showing all the important
changes that have taken place in rates
to the Atlantic Seaboard in shipments Of
grain and grain products and the reason
therefor.
Mr.. Clifford said that he believed the
Grand Trunk railroad, of Canada, was
the first road to through the rate bill of
lading. The export rate was lower In
grain, he said, than in grain products,
while the domestic rates on grain and
grain products were the same. He could
not explain why there was such a rlif-
ference. Ocean rates, he said fluctuated
at the different ports. In his opinion it
required lower through rate ''to enable
us to compete in the foreign marets."
He admitted that if the New York Cen
trail wanted to cheat they might dispose
of grain brought over their lines from the
West under export rates for domestic
use.
President Toomey. Of the Pennsylvania
Milling and Export company, testified
that his concern did a business of sa0O).-
900 year, and had mills at Reading, Pa,
in Indiana and other Western states He
said that flour could be manufactured in
the United States cheaper than 1t could
be in England, but the American miller
was at a disadvantage in competing with

MAY Bn A GOOD PURCHASE.
Opinions Of Railroad Men About the
Great Western's Acquisition.


Great Western's Acquisition.
There is a feeling of surprise in rail-
road circles, both that the Great West
ern has acquired control OF the Red
Wing Mankato line of the Wisconsin,
Minnesota & Pacific, and that the Min
neapolis & st. Louis permitted the pur-
chase. Not long ago, when the latter
road bought out the part of the Wiscon-
sin. Minnesota & Pacific between Nor
ton. Mimi, and WATERFOWL, S. D., IA
yorable opportunity was offered, to gain
possession of the other portion at very
low figure, but the chance was not i'm
proved since with their experience in
operating the road the st. Louis officials
considering it poor policy to buy it.
From Red Wing to Faribault, the line
is paraileled by the Milwaukee. For all
through business either to Minneapolis
or Chicago the Milwaukee has a great
Faribault and Red Wing find it easy to
go to either point on the Milwaukee.
while In order to take the Minneapolis &
st. Louis it is necessary to go to Water
Vile. round about trip. This condition
has resulted in combining the Minneapolis
& st. Louis to merely local business
on this Lewiston. The freight business
has been steady, but nothing out of the
ordinary. The earnings of this piece Of
road have never been included in the
Minneapolis & ST.. Louis, as it has, been
operated for the Rock Island, which
owned the Wisconsin, Minnesota & Pa
cific..
From the fact that the Great Western
crosses the line of the purchased property
farther east than the Minneapolis &c st.
Louis, railroad men are inclined to think
that the Great Western may operate the
line to advantage. it will be able to
compete for considerable business which
the former could not handle.

What LEGAL Railroad Men Think
OF the Great Westerns Purchase
3 of the Red Wing-MankatO Line.
Neither the Northern Pacific nor the
Great No. hern will be parties to the
sugsested Immigration agreement of the
Western Passenger association. A call
has been issued for meeting OF the gen
eral passenger agents in Chicago today
for the consideration of the immigrat ton
business with a view OF forming an I'M
migrant bureau looking towards an equi-
table division Of the business and the eS-
Enlistment OF an arbitrary rate, via all
lines. The object of the new agreement
IS said to be the formation Of an IRON
clad agreement or pool. for the purpose
OF preventing competition.
PREPAYMENT officials OF the Great North
ern Were yesterday asked what action
the road would take in regard to tile
proposed measure. General Passenger
Agent Whitney stated that he had not
heard Of the meeting and had received no
call In the absence Of any invitation TO
Participates, he was not Inclined to make
any statement, but said that in, all proba-
bility the Great Northern would not make
a party to the agreement.
4sVice President Hannaford, Of the
Northern Pacific, said that he knew
nothing of the. proposed agreement. He
had not planned to attend the confer
ence and the road had not. considered
the proposition in any way, shape or
manners Hes thought the present system
of caring for -immigra ton satisfactory.
Without the help and support of the two
great Western roads, it would be inpos-
sibe To form a pool sufficiently strong to
