RUNNING TIME TO CHICAGO.
No Chance for 1t to Be Reduced fo1
Awhile.

Awhile.
There is at present little probability
that time between the cities and Chicago
Will be reduced with the opening of the
spring season and its consequent increase
OF business. During the summer 1t was
rumored In various quarters that the
strong lines were preparing for a con-
siderable change in schedules on which
to base the fight for business next wear
That this is unlikely, is the conclusion Of
St. Paul railroad man who has careful
ly studied the conditions existing between
St Paul and Chicago. His opinion is
borne out by statements secured from a
number Of railroad officials
Six years ago the Wisconsin Central IS
sued an ultimatum to the other Chicago
roads to the effect that thirteen hours
and half should be the running time
st. Paul to Chicago. Strange as it may
seem, since that time, no road has at
tempted to make any considerable lessen
ing in their running time. In the course
of business 1t was found to be advan-
tageous to run mail trains on faster
schedule, and the Wisconsin Central said
ten hours. Mail trains were accordingly
put on, making the run in the time indi-
Gated by the weak line. An edict was
issued that mail trains should not carry
sleeping cars and this was also implicitly
obeyed. AT present there IS not a fast
mail out of St Paul with sleeping car ac-
commodations.
The reason for this peculiar condition,
giving the weak lines power to absolutely
control the schedules of their lines, is
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-11-19

given by the official referred to. Sneak
ing OF the situation he said Yesterday:
Ihere IS no reason why q passanger
traln could not be sent out of ST PAM
reEchlng Chicago in ten hours, or even
considerably less. So far as the nrobIeno
OF operating such train Is concerned
there is no 1nsurmountable obstacle Bat
ter road beds would be required ard a.
large number Of costly improvements
would be necessary, but it could be done
The only reason the Milwaukee,
Omaha, Burlington and other lines have
not taken this step is because the Wis
consin Central would not allow it. They
issued notice that If shorter time was
made they would retaliate with lower
rates and there you are.
Any railroad man VIII tell you that
this fact alone prevents a shorter Chi
cago schedule Retalie ton with cut rates
is weapon which the strong lines can
not face, since it cuts off their profits
and does not harm the weak lines in
least. During the late unpleasantness'
over Chicago rates. a Great Western Of
f1cial told me that, his line was contented
with the condition of business, was carry.
ing mora passengers and making mere
money. Al the same time, the Omaha
anda milwaukee were eIoosing their dol
lars daily and thescuts were costing them
heavily.
''It Is paradoxical situation when q
weak line can dictate to a strong one, but
that is the condition which every road
operating in competition between certain
points has to face. The only reason the
New York Central ever bought the West
Shore was because they wished to elimi-
nate the opposition 10 shorter schedules
to New York and to Chicago. Moreover,
they could not make cut in time until
they had bought up the line having pow
er to dictate.
Il have heard 1t said lately that the
Great Northern would cut time to Duluth
with its new cutoff which saves them
thirty miles. The same conditions apply

are satisfied with Admiral Dewey's title

we came by it, and as it possessed but lit
tie intrinsic value to the government he
had the moral right at least to make it
his personal gift to the monument Of the
martyrs of the Maine, and all who lost
their lives in the SpanIsn-American war.
This action on his part makes 1t valuable
as historic relic, and no one should feel
that the government has been defrauded
We believe that the people of the United
States will stand by Admiral Dewey in
his disposal of 1t. The Dewey cannon
was awarded to our village. 1t is now in
our possession. In equity and justice our
title Is good. The technicality Of 1t seems
to be questioned. We shall plead our
cause as earnestly as we can to the pub
lie, and await their verdict with interest,
and shall appreciate the sympathy and
moral support of the citizens of this ma
tion.e but we are a sIa%-abiding com

TALKS IN NEW YORK.
President MeIIen Discusses Hi
Road and Its Condition


NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-President Mel
len, Of the Northern Pacific, is still in
New York, comforting with the directors
of the road. A timber of important
matters are up for consideration In an
interview here Mr.. Mellen made his first
direct statement concerning the negotia-
lions for the transfer of the Central of
Washington. He said:
There have been negotiations between
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
with reference to the Washington Cen
trail. We would be pleased to turn over
this line to the Great Northern if we got
another in exchange, but we do not care
to sell it for cash. Whether any deal
will be perfected no one can say 1t is
not burning question with either road.
There is good deal of talk here about
q transcontinental5r rate war. 1 have just
completed a trip over the line in the West
and heard nothing about a rate war until
L got here. 1t certainly cannot amount
to much. General Traffic Manager Hanna
FORD has not considered the matter i'm
portant enough to call my attention to 1t.
rate conditions in the West are in
good shape. No railroad Is going into
receivers hands on account of any slight
differences that may exist over coIonist
rates.
"A matter that does give us good deal
OF concern Is the labor famine The
farmers and the railroads have suffered a
great deal this account. There are
plenty Of laborers in New York doing
nothing who do not want to do anything
but stand around and talk about it. We
have sufficient supply of skilled en-
ployes, but are sadly short Of day labor
ers. A great deal Of Improvement work
has been suspended on this account
Labor in the West feels that 1t is en-
titled to get a little more while this pros
perity lasts. We have advanced wages to
about the schedules in effect before the
depression. Should we make any further
advance, we would have the highest
schedules ever in effect. There Is no dis
satisfaction on our line to speak Of nor
are we afraid of any We have a superior
class of employees. They give us excellent
service and we try to take care of them
as well as we can.
Business conditions throughout the en-
tire West continue at their very best /
feel confident that had we had sufficient
equipment we could have earned $500 900
more the first four months of this fiscal
year. Car shortage on our line is not al
together due to the business BOOM The
car shortage at this time, however, is
worse than usual, and 1 have no doubt
that many Industries along our line have
suffered in consequence The most of the
business that we seem to have lost has
been merely deferred
THE farmers IN the West are spending
money freely The best possible evidence
Of this is the great increase In our pas
seneer receipts. All our increase this
month has been made by the passenger
