NEWS OF RAILROADS
HEARING ON THE QUESTION OF
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA RATES
BEGINS TO-DAY
QUESTION IS TO BE DIVIDED

Grain Tariffs and Merchandise Tar
IFS Will Be Considered Independ-
entIy-It Is Understood That COM
missiOners Favor the Application
of a Distance Tariff to Points Out
side the influence of Terminals.
The railroad and warehouse commits
sion will hold a hearing this morning,
called for the purpose of investigating
rates from the southwestern part of the
state to the cities All the roads operat-
ing in the territory in question have been
cited to appear, and will be represented
by their traffic and legal officials.
General Counsel Bum, of the Northern
Pacific, called upon the commissioners
yesterday afternoon and asked whether
the grain. or merchandise rates would first
be taken up. After comforting, the com
missioners gave it out that they would
present the matter to the representatives.
of the different roads this morning, and
follow their wishes. 1t is found advisa-
BILE to divide the question and hear the
arguments against raising the grain and
merchandise rates separately.
Mr.. Bunn's visit resulted in general
discussion of freight rates, in which the
commissioners took an active part. Mr..
Ringdal declared himself in favor of the
application of distance tariff to points
outside the influence of terminals, giving
as favorable rates to shippers as were
given by tariffs out of terminals to their
shippers and jobbers. In support of the
position he declared that such an action
would result in the development Of local
manufactures which wou d ultimately re-
suit in increased population for the towns
along the lines, and indirectly to the in
creased revenue of the different railroads.
Mr.. Bum took exceptions to the posi-
ton of the commissioner. He stated that
while on the face 1t seems reasonable to
suppose that good results would follow
such a course, railroad transportation au-
thorities have long agreed that the prin-
ciple applied is not productive of desired
results. He held that the greatest obsta-
Gle In the way Of the practical application
of such a policy is the conservatism of
railroad executives.
1t is understood that the application Of
this principle is one of the ambitions of
several railroad commissioners. The rate
hearing which begins this morning will
result in one Of the most important con-
ferences held between the commissioners
and the railroads in years. Railroad off,
Gals consider that in the event the COM
mission wins its point, precedent of tre-
mendous weight will be established, and
will therefore make strong fight.

Marvin Hughitt, president of the Chica-
go & Northwestern and Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha roads, H. M.
McCulloch, vice president of the North
Western, and General Attorney Bowers,

Monday night in a special car from Chi
cago. They spent the greater part of yes
of the Omaha road, and in inspecting the
condition of the road at this terminal. 1t
is understood that some of the officials
will attend the rate hearing before the
tbs arguments presented by the road
against reduction in tariffs from the
southwestern part of the state.

EASTERN RATE CUTTING.
From Chicago to the Seaboard Con-
difi0ns Are Insatisfnctarx

Freight officials of the st. Paul-Chicago
lines confirm the reports that the rate
situation east of Chicago is in a serious
condition. Regarding -four and grain
rates from the Minnesota markets to the
Eastern seaboard via Chicago, they admit
that rates have been tempered with, and
that at present they are seriously affect
ed. Rates east from Chicago are now 80
per cent below normal tariff figures. The
change for the worst has been especially
noticeable in the grain and flour rates,
and the tonnage for last week out of
Chicago for the seaboard ports shows an
increase of 52,596, due to the unusually
low rates.
The present situation is giving officials
of the Northwestern lines serious concern.
1t was predicted yesterday by an official
of one of the strong Chicago lines that
unless the freight situation east-bound
can be fixed up there is a strong proba-
blIity that the disturbed conditions will
extend to passenger business In such an
event the recent maintenance of rates and
commission agreements would not be
worth the paper they are written upon.

TRUNK LINE wRANGLE.
Presidents May Be Called Upon to
Settle 1t.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Two' of the
Western connections of the trunk lines
have practically declined to adhere to one
of the provisions of the new joint tariff,
and unless some influence is brought to
bear to induce them to change their pol
icy, the effect of the recent agreement
will be destroyed. The railroads in ques-
ton are the Michigan Central and the
Lake Shore, and the provisions of the
joint agreement which these roads openly
disregard is that which directs each party
to the agreement to receive it's full pro-
portion of the standard rate from con-
Meeting lines. The respective manage
ments of the Michigan Central and Lake
Shore have by letter declined to obey this
particular provision.
A meeting Of the Joint Traffic associa-
ton will be held in this city on Thursday,
March l, to consider the matter. Repre-
sentatives of the delinquent roads. it is
said, voted for the provision without rails
ing any objection.
Passenger men say that unless the
agreement is to be enforced in its entirety
there is no use in trying to do anything
with it. There is a probability that the
presidents of the trunk lines will be call
ed upon to adjust the difficulty.

TRAVELLERS AND TRUSTS.
President La Taste Before the In

WASHINGTON, Feb 90 j. v. La
Taste, Montgomery, Ala, president Of the
Travellers Protective Association of
America, appeared before the industrial
commission today by invitation. He said
that membership of his association had
steadily increased since 1890, when it was
formed. In that year the membership was
1000, and this year it is approximately
15,000 Whether or not the formation of
trusts, which threw commercial travel
ers out of employment, had tended to in
crease the membership of the association
he was not prepared to say. He stated
specifically that he did not believe that
trade combination was an economic dis
ease in ITSELF but was, in his opinion,
the outcome of monopoly of naturar op-
uortunitfes He had no recommendation
to make in regard to legislation.

THAT ANONYMOUS CIRCULAR.
An Effort Being Made to Locate It's
Origin.

The anonymous circular discovered on
Monday has created a stir among the eX-
ecutves of the different railroads center
Ing in the cities An investigation is in
progress to discover where the circular
originated, and while the executives treat
the matter lightly, and declare that it
will have little effect, they are determined
to stop such proceedings. A general pas
Benger agent, in commenting on the ci-cu-
lar and the commission situation, said
yesterday:
'The circular can have no effect. as all
the strong lines are standing together,
and have the situation SO well in hand
that it would be rankest folly for an
agent to attempt to interfere. Each line
at present is keeping the strictest watch
upon it's competitors business, and any
increase on the part of any road is known
in all the other Offices as soon as in its
own. Any agent who would attempt to
divert business stands well to lose his
position on short notice. The agreement
may break, yet it was made by the ex-
ecutives themselves, and even the general
passenger agents do not dare interfere
