R'y Commissioners Won't Go
to Washington.
AN OFFICIAL GOODNESS
Appears to Exist Between Commits
sioners and the Governor.
HE DID NOT LIKE THEIR PLAN
They Felt He Had Turned Them
Down and Were
Piqued.

The railroad and warehouse commission
after an hours conference with Governor
Van SAINT this morning, abandoned the
junket to Washington
The meeting was friendly, but pleasant
speeches yelled feelings of distrust. The
governor and attorney general are suspi-
cious OF the commission and the commits
sion are disgusted with the state house
dignitaries.
There is an inside and an outside story
of the incident.
Chairman Mills. of the commission,
said:
I'VE have abandoned the trip to Wash
ington for the present. The fact is, the
resolution deciding on the trip is rescind-
ed. The governor and the attorney gen
eral are not going and we decided to post
pone our trip. That is all there is to it."
Governor Van SAINT said:
II am not going down to Washington.
The attorney general is unable to get
away and I do not care to go without
him. You will have to see the commits
sion as to what they intend to do. This
was the first time / have had talk with
them on this matter and found them
very pleasant gentlemen"
JunIet Held Unnecessary.
TIL fact is, the governor and attorney
general did not take kindly to Chairman
Mills suggestion of junket. They felt
that the state was already moving in the
matter, and would soon have the roads
in court. If the federal authorities wished
to act, they needed no assistance from
Minnesota. A conference would be fruit
less and befuddling, and each could work
better alone. Judge Mills has been ex-
pounding the theory that the federal
government should be left to deal with
these combinations, ever since Governor
Van SAINT began to move on behalf of the
state. Mills evidently thought little of
the governors course, and the governor
In turn looked askance at the commits
sioners' Ideas.
The commission realized the meaning Of
his refusal to go and were piqued. They
took the view that they had offered the
governor their assistance and co-opera-
ton; he had refused it and henceforth
could paddle his own canoe.
An Official Goodness.
There are long stretches of snow be-
tween the governors Office and the Endi-
colt building and in another sense there
is a GOODNESS between them, more pro-
nounced than before.
The attitude of Commissioner Staples is
an enigma. He has refused to talk about
the trip except to say vest erday that 1t
had not been decided upon. Whatever
! he may think, he is loyal to his colleagues
in speech and was apparently satisfied
with the idea of a conference.
| Although avowedly abandoned only "for
the present" it is safe proposition that
the junket is off for good. The call
of retreat sounded this morning is final.
Henceforth the governor will have to fight
without even semIblance Of support from
the commissioners.
The Ore Tariffs.
Mr.. Staples is examining into the ore
tariffs. No action has been taken by the
commissioners. They will decide next
week whether the tariffs comply with
their order, and name a rate that may be
used.

May Change Their Tune.
The announcement that the interstate
commerce commission will investigate
the Northern Securities company on the
complaint of the Minnesota railroad COM
mission Is generally considered I'M
portant, although insiders don't think the
result will be material. The reply ma l.
to reports of legal, legislative or con-
gressional proceedings, is this: Such at
tacks were expected and have been pro-
vided for. 1t is not believed anything will
result in important notifications Of the
agreement which has been worked out.
In case, however, present arrangements
have to be modified an effort will be
made to accomplish the same result by
other legal methods. Unless 1t is de-
clared unlawful for man to own stock
in more than one company, the principle
Of community Of ownership has come to
stay.
Hill Sees Railway Presidents.
The conferences of western railroad
president here this week have been Of in
formal character; and while it was stated
that the sole object was to consider the
question of rates, it is now known that
the presence of the presidents is due to
an invitation from Morgan and Harri-
man. 1t is desired that the western rail-
road men shall thoroughly familiarizs
themselves with the legal aspects of the
Northern Securities combine. Harriman's
illness has prevented his attendance OK
the meetings, but Morgan and Hill have
been having daily talks with the visitors.
