BLOCK
MEETING CALLED FOR FRIDAY
1t Is Hoped to Estab1iea an Entente,
Whether the N. Prs Duluth
Line Comes In or
Not.

Traffic Manager Clarke, OF the Omaha,
as chairman of the st. Paul committee of
the Trunk Line Association Of the North
west yesterday called a meeting of that
committee for Friday next at the Great
Northern in Chicago.
The call did not include a statement
of the purpose of the meeting, and it is
generally supposed that the old task of
endeavoring to get the lake lines into the
Northwestern arrangement for handling
traffic will be taken up.
The greatest bar to the success of the
movement is the attitude of the Northern
Pacific relation to the Duluth line. The
Northern Pacific managers are determin-
ed not to enter into any kind of an ar
rangement that has the semblance of a
traffic pool OF agreement. AS the case
now stands, the grain and flour business
IS the stumbling block in the way of an
agreement on rates, and the Northern
Pacific will not consent to any sort of
an arrangement whereby a division of the
traffic will be made on any fixed basis.
1t Is expected that no good results to-
ward an agreement will be reached by
the meeting next Friday, although it is
stated in positive terms that an attempt
Will be made to reach an agreement with
out the Northern Pacific.

asserted that Gen. Dorward thinks Col.

fact is that the greatest harmony and

speech a week ago, after a silence Of
nearly six years, is dead
Her case was one of the most remark
able in medical annals. About eight
years ago, she was taken sick with an
affection of the spine. In January, 1894
she lost her power of speech, and the eff
forts of physicians failed to restore it.
She startled her family, about ten days
ago, by calling for her sister, the first
words she had uttered in six years.
