PINGREE'S DECLARATION
SENATOR BURROWS SAYS HIS BOLT
WAS NOT UNEXPECTED.
He Does Not Think 1t VIII Affect the
Republican Situation In
Michigan.

The declaration credited to Governor Pin
gree in a dispatch from Detroit published
this morning that the hope OF the people is
with the democrats this fall causes no sur
prise among the republicans at Washing
ton. Senator Burrows said on the subject
this morning:
'.It does not surprise me- 1 understand
that for some time Gov. Pingree has been
threatening to bolt the republican party.
c<Shas been expected, therefore, that at
some time he would do so. IL 1t was his
intention to leave the party, then the sooner
the better, though there might have been
little more delicacy in his waiting until
after the close of his term as republican
governor of the state"
rs there anything in the situation in
Michigan to indicate it as doubtful state
this year," was asked
Not at ALL the senator replied. NC
kinney will carry Michigan by not less
than 10000"
situation materiaily?'
1T will not affect the result" the sena-
tor replied.
Democrats May Nominate Him.
The belief is that Pingree has an idea of
being nominated by the democrats for gov
ernor of Michigan, and it is regarded as
not improbable that his wish in this respect
will be gratified.
The democrats have their eye on Mich
igan, Minnesota and Indiana, especially, g
Offering them a possible show in the con-
test this fall. on account of the special I'M
popularity in those states of the Porto
Rican tariff.
They are likely, therefore, to regard the
attitude of Pingree as advantageous to
them. Republicans, however. say that the
governor is now SO discounted in the state
that he cannot bring much strength to the
democrats. They say that he was in SYM
patty with Bryan in 80, and that it was
with difficulty that his friends kept him
from taking the stump with Bryan in Mich
igan.

TO MAKE FIGHT IN COURT.
Local Grain Dealers VIII Oppose
kansas City's Claims.

St. Louis grain merchants and shippers.
elevator men and miIlers are preparing to
make strong fight for St. Louis in the
case OF the Kansas City grain dealers
against the Missc ur Pacific Railway, which
comes up before Judge Thayer in the United
States Court of Appeals Thursday.
The Kansas City grain men ask to have
the Missouri Pacific Railway Company en-
Joined from making rates on grain from
Kansas and Nebraska to St Louis lower
than the sum Of the rates to Kansas City
and from Kansas City to ST. Louis.
If their efforts are successful, the Kansas
City grain dealers would have monopoly
of the grain trade of Kansas and Nebras-
ka They claim that st. Louis is enjoying
many concessions from the railways, but
this is denied by both the railroads and
local dealers In case the injunction should
be allowed the same rule would be applet
to other railroads. and st. Louis grain men
and millers would practically be shut out
of the markets of those States.
c. A. Parker, commissioner of the ST.
Louis Traffic Bureau. is preparing a COM
prehensiyc statement of the ST. Louis side
of the case, which will be submitted to the
court in defense of the railroad company
II will be supported by the affidavits Of a

CERTIFICATE PLAN RATES.
Proposition Before Western Pnssen
ger Association to Increase Them.

ger AsSOc1ntlOn 10 increase Them.
On the docket TO be discussed at the next
meeting of the Western Passenger Associa-
ton is the subject OF certificate plan rates
for conventions and other large gatherings.
A proposition has been made TO increase
these rates, and considerable diversity OF
opinion is said to prevail on the subject.
1t has been the custom to grant certificate
plan meetings a rate Of one and one-third
fares for the round trip. and In many cases
the rate has been lower when the meeting
was large enough to warrant II. The prop
osition now Is TO make the rate uniformly
one and one-haif fares for the round trip.
One passenger agent in speaking of the
matter yesterday asserted that he would
vote against the measure He would be
willing. he said. 10 raise the rate for the
smaller meetings. but he thought that the
lines should reserve TO themselves the pow
to make lower rates for the larger ga tn
erings. The passage of the rule proposed
would undoubtedly meet with bitter protest
on the part of the societies and organiza-
lions which have been enjoying rate II
one and one-third fares for several years,
and frequently lower rate than that.
A member of the Transportation Commit
tee Of one of the organizations referred to
said that in his Judgment ii Indicated that
the railroads were fast reaching Il point
where they would pool all issues.
