20 Be Detective.

Olympia, Dec. The supreme court

unconstitutional, on technical grounds,
section / of the act Of March IL, 1897,
which section exempts from execution

provides that ssNo act shall ever be re-
vised or amended by mere reference to
its title. but the act revised or the section
amended shall be set forth ct fulllength. "

Miss Stones Abduetors.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Dec. 10.-According to
information received from Salonica,
Miss Ellen M. Stone and Nine. Tsilka,
her companion, are concealed in the
vicinity Of Rilo, about five miles south
of Dubnitza, in Bulgarian territory.
The news was brought by Mscedo-
nian, who left here December l, and
who furnished precise information re-
garding the hiding places and the names
OF the agents supplying food for the
brigands and their captives.
1t is understood that the information
is considered reliable enough to justify
the American officers in Turkey to dis
patch agents to treat with the bandits
and application has already been made
to the Turkish government for the free
passage Of emissaries across the Turkish
frontier at every hundred yards.

S0S bUSm 70 OGS wss

ference of Pacific coast senators and CON

WHITE PASS & YUKON RAILWAY
COMPANY.

and 0thers Large Sums Alleged 10 Have

Know Nothing About the Msttes = Yet
and Deny Overcharsins.

VlcLOrl8, ID. VI, Lee. IA case IN
volving every cent that the British
Yukon Company, otherwise the White
Pass & Yukon railway, has taken in
freight and passenger rates since the
company commenced business in 1898,
will shortly be brought before the
supreme court of British Columbia, and
will in turn 60 through the different
courts to the highest court in the land,
the imperial privy council. In q few
days writ will be issued against the
British Yukon Company, under which
name the White Pass & Yukon route is
incorporated in Canada, for the purpose
of testing the legal position of the
shippers of goods and the passengers
who have paid fares on that road since
it commenced business.
The stand taken by claimants, who
include some of the largest shippers to
the Yukon, is that this company, under
its charter from the Dominion govern
ment, was compelled to have its rates
approved by the governor general in
council. This approval, according to
the dispatches received from Ottawa,
published in the press and subsequently
verified, was not obtained by the COM
pany, and in fact they did not forward
their schedules of freight and passenger
rates to the department of railways until
this year. When they did do so the
schedules were returned by the minister
ofrailways, according to press dispatches,
and officials of the company are now in
Ottawa trying to adjust the matter.
Under these circumstances the claim
ants hold that they are entitled to the
return of their fares and freight money
and damages. 1t is contended by those
seeking the return of passage money
that the rates were extortionate, averag-
ing about 20 cents per mile. BY those
seeking the return of freight charges
paid by them it is also claimed that the
rates were extortionate, supplementing
this with the further allegation that
they have been injured by secret rebates
granted their competitors, whereby the
claimants have suffered serious loss.
Runs Into Millions.
When the amount of freight handled
and the number of passengers carried
since the opening of the road is taken into
consideration an idea of the immense
amount the company would be compelled
to pay should the case 60 against them
can be obtained. It would certainly
run into the millions. Both classes Of
claimants rely with great confidence on
section 290 of the Canadian railway act,
which reads as follows:
every person from whom any COM
pany exacts any unjust or extOrtionate
toll rate or charge shall, in addition to
the amount 80 unjustly exacted, be en-
titled to recover from the company as
damages an amount equal to three times
the amount 30 unjustly exacted."
There have been similar cases decided
in Ontario, both for and against the
companies.
