A rumor is.now floating around to the
effect that fast train will be run be-
tween Chicago and the City of Mexico
in the near future. 1t is the tnten ton
to have Mexican Central train meet
the Santa Fee California limited at AL
buquerque and take the passengers
straight through to the city of Mexico.
Our informant says that this Is dis
cussed very freely at chihuahua and at
other points along the line, and the ru-
NOR seems to have been started by the
officials themselves. The train will be
run twice week and will make the
best time possible between Albu-
querque and the City of Mexico. This
is done to compete with the Interna-
tional which last season reduced their
time from this country to the City OF
Mexico several hours. This would not
work any visible benefit to FL -Paso.
The way it is at present tourists to
Mexico can spend several hours in this
city but, under the new arrangement,

CABINET CONFERENCE.
Neither Samoan Nor Philippine At
fairs Discussed.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-In the alb
sence of late news from Samoa or the
Philippines, the cabinet meeting today
was devoted to other matters. The Mica
ragua- Panama canal commission was
discussed informally, and it is the belief
of the cabinet that the present Nicaragua
commission. of which Admiral Walker
is the head. will be reappointed, with
propably two additional members. ) The
cars peace conference was not men
toned. Secretary Hitchcock brought up
the Paris exposition in 1900 and made
strong argument in favor OF the removal
of the American exhibit from Paris at
the close of the exposition to Moscow
or st, Petersburg, and 1t is likely that
the president, on the reassembling of
congress, viii recommend that provision
be made for the removal, with view of
stimulating trade between this country
and Russia.

of Porto Rico had organized political

AS will be seen the reduction in the
coast rate is from 1880 to SO. The tour
list sleeper rates will remain unchanged
at present figures.
In announcing the change the circular
says:
when sleeping cars were first placed
in service to the Pacific coast between
Omaha and San Francisco, the rate for
a double berth was fixed at $3.50, the
price of a first-class ticket being then
500 in gold The schedule time of trains
between these points was four and five
days. In 1893 the Great Northern railway
pushed its line through to the North Pa
cffic coast, making approximately the
same time and same rates. Since that
time many changes and many improve
mentS have taken place. The time from
st. Paul and Minneapolis to the Pacific
coast has been reduced to sixty hours,
which means two nights instead of three
and four on the cars. First-class tickets
now cost but $50, one-half Of their former
price. Sleeping car rates have, however,
remained at the old figure.
In an interview with the Great Northern
officials it was learned that the road has
for some time had in mind the equalizing
OF the charge for sleepers to correspond
with that Of transportation and time, and
reduction and the schedule as prepared
will go into effect the 18th of this month
1t Is a step that will have a marked
effect all over the West, as sleeping car
rates will have TO be changed on all lines
between the Missouri river and California
as we'll as all the Northern lines to meet
the rate Of the Great Northern.
The Pullman Sleeping Car company has
exercised it's utmost endeavors Of late to
prevent the cut as they will principally
feel the effect. Their contract with the
Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, Bur-
lington, Missouri Pacific, Sante Fe and
Southern Pacific, in fact, all Western
routes requires that they meet all COM
petition and reduction corresponding to
the Great Northern's can be expected at
any time.
The division superintendent of the Pull
man company, Mr.. F. e. Rice, of St. Paul,
was seen yesterday, but declined to state
what his company would do. 1.-The old
rate of $780," he said, has been In eff
feet since 1851, or as long as sleeping cars
have been in use and is the only rate
I have ever known and is the same that
has always been charged from Omaha and
Missouri river points to the coast"
At the Northern Pacific offices the new
The officials expressed themselves as
much pleased and expressed themselves
as being in sympathy with such a move
ment. Railroad men generally admit that
the rate has been too high and too great
q difference existed between the sleeper
rate of $3.50 and tourist rate of IS.

This method of administering justice,
with others equally harsh, such as the
arrest of witnesses and the absence of

Something Like a Check, Partly Due
to Heavy January Buying.
NEW YORK, March 31.-R. G. Dun &
Co, in their weekly review of trade, will
say.
Failures during the first quarter of 1899
have been in amount of liabilities not
more than about SIG, $50 $3.50, against $751;
~7lO.142 last year; $4S, 007, 80 In 1893, and
So ,525, 125 In 1896. While the later returns
may increase the amount for the quarter
a little, the complete return which will
be given next week, will be very remark
able in comparison with that of any
previous year.
Business is not at present improving.
There has been something very like a
check, partly the result of heavy buying
since Jan. l, to anticipate the market
partly caused by the uncertainty about
the operation of many combinat lions and
shade Of doubt about foreign affairs
also had some influence. The new rule Of
the clearing house banks at New York
about taxation of country checks also
causes some shifting Of accounts.
"a period of transition from one own
ership to another and from one manage
ment to another and from one Industrial
system to another, where it affects many
hundred establishments throughout the
country. inevitably causes some hesita-
ton in business. y little later the many
hundred concerns may be doing more
business than ever they were just before
combinations were effected. But in the
transition stage nobody knows just what
to expect. There is much withdrawal of
iron business because the continuance of
high prices is doubted, because the great
purchases made by many works have not
been met by orders and because works
affected by many other combinations
proposed are not inclined to buy more

ATTACKED GOVERNMENT.
Lively Session of the Ontario House
of Commons


OTTAWA, Ont, March 31-In the house
OF commons today Sir Herbert Tupper
conservative. made the longest speech Of
the session. talking against the govern
ment for six hours. He made bitter at
tack ON the government for the manner
in which it had conducted the negotia-
tons at Washington before the high com
mission. He said that the Canadian COM
mlss1oners were not acquainted with the
subjects under discussion and thus thew
allowed the United States commissioners
Ito take advantage of them. It was
enough, he claimed, to bring the blush
of shame to the face of any Canadian
when he considered the position taken
by the United States commissioners in
regard to the Alaskan boundary. The
reason for the United States taking that
extraordinary attitude, he said was ow-
ing to the speeches delivered by members
of the Liberal party In particular Sir
Herbert devoted the greater part of his
speech to attacks on the policy of the
government In the Yukon district, where,
he said, the government had allowed its
agents to terrorize and rob the people,
