FOLK FROM TWO STATES.
A BIG EXCURSION HERE
TODAY
AGENTS WANT MORE SALARY
City Ticket Men Want Something
to Replace the Commissions
That Have Been
Cut Off.

Although a prominent railroad official
stated yesterday that all kinds of work
is being held back just at present and
that business generally among railroad
circles is decidedly quiet there seems
to be great activity left among the pas
senger departments of some of the lines.
The excursion fever is raging with good
effect, and to this extent at least some
business is being transacted.
Today the Omaha will bring into the
city large number of excursionists from
Iowa and Nebraska. They will arrive
In the evening and can, if they wish,
remain in the Twin cities until Tuesday
following. round trip rate has been
arranged from certain points in the two
states mentioned for $4, and another for
S. On both these excursions the travel
er may return to his destination either
Monday or Tuesday, just as he sees fit.
Trains will be run back both these doys
by the Omaha for their special accom-
mediation. 1t is estimated that fully COO
people will avail themselves of these
rates and visit the Twin Cities.
At 10 o'clock this morning delegations
from the local Jobbers' union and the
Commercial club will leave the city for
Mankato, where they are to meet the
incoming trains and escort the excur-
sienists into the Capital city. Arrange
ments will be made for the entertainment
Of the visitors while here and they will
be shown every courtesy by the business
men of the city during their stay. On
Sunday and Monday they will be taken
TO the various places of beauty and in
terest in and about the two cities, under
special pilotage.
The Iowa and Nebraska excursionists
coming into the city tonight on tne
Omaha will be met by committees from
the Jobbers' union and the Commercial
club. The Jobbers' committee will con-
sist of the following: George r. Finch,
of Finch, Van Slyke, Young & Co.; D. B.
Finch, of Lanpher, Finch & Skinner; H.
A. Boardman, manager Weymott How
ard & Co.; 7. F. Mccormick, of McCor-
mick, Benl1e & Co.; H. P. Hall, secre-
tary; F. W. Hurty, of Farwell, Ozmun,
Kirk Co. The Commercial club com
mittee's personnel will be: G. P. Stine.
secretary; w. M Carson, Capt W. II.
Hunt, H Lehr. F. w. Sachse, Gen.
George c. Lambert
Badges and buttons will be distributed
to the visitors, as Will also be printed
lists of the attractions surrounding the
city and statistical facts pertaining to
ST Paul. These will be placed in the
hands of the visitors UPON their arrival.
Secretary C. P. Stine, of the CONNER
cial club, has arranged with the Union
Stock Yards company and Swift & Co.
to have the eXcursionists visit South St.
Paul Monday evening. They will go
down in a special train at in the after
noon and return at 4:3O. The hospitality
of the Commercial club will also be ex-
tended

MAILS HELD COAST TRAINS,
Heavy Postal Receipts Yesterday
Caused Delay in Transhipment

Great Northern and Northern Pacific
mail trains left here late yesterday morn
ing, owing to the delayed arrival of
the Eastern mails for which they had
10 wait The loading of these mails
Consumed much extra time and brought
forth a vigorous kick on the Part of
the men who had to do the loading
against placing such large amounts of
mail in the sacks. There We're over
eighteen tons of the mail matter taken
out by the coast lines.
The postal officials, who have a hand
in handling the mail, too, are with the
railroad men in protesting against the
overloading of mail sacks. One railroad
official called attention, in the midst of
his protests, to the fact that there is a
law to regulate the amount of mail that
should go into a sack, and that law pre-
scribes that not more than 100 pounds
shall be placed therein. He maintain
ed, however, that at least double TIL
amount had been loaded into sacks he
handled yesterday morning.
1t was insisted that unless the railroad
companies do not enter a protest soon
to this violation of the law, and Incl
deptally to the over-taXing of the mail
mems muscles, the men themselves
would.

OF of Commissions.
It is stated that one of the matters
considered at the meeting of the general
ticket and passenger agents this week
at Buffalo was the readjustment of the
salaries of city coupon ticket dealers. 1t
appears that since the curtailment of
commissions a year or SO ago there has
been considerable complaint among the
men of this profession as to low salaries,
and they have been extremely desroUs
of having the matter remedied in some
manner. What the agents did at Buffalo
IS not definitely known.
Statements have been made that GER
