PUT BLAME ON 500
ST. PAUL-CHICAGO LINES HAVE
TROUBLE WITH EASTERN
CONNECTIONS
ALL ABOUT EXPO. TICKETS
Limit of Oct. 81 on Lowest Priced
Tickets Is Not satisfactory to
BuffaIO-ChfcagO
Lines.

There is considerable friction at present
between Chicago-St Paul lines and their
connection east of Chicago over tickets
to the Pan-American exposition. Inc
trouble arises over the action or the Tor
mer in allowing limits Of Oct. 81 on tch-
cts sold at the lowest rates. Their con-
nection in the Central Passenger asso-
citation have notified them that they will
require full proportions of regular rates
in divisions on all such business. The
Chicago-St. Paul lines claim that their
action has been made necessary by the
500 road in applying the longtime lin
its on its tickets They think the Ger
trail Passenger association roads should
require it to conform to their regula-
lions in regard to limits, or, If they cam
not do so, allow the Chicago-St. Paul
roads to meet it's competition without
protest.
The Eastern lines refuse all response
bility for the trouble that exists at st.
Paul. They declare it to be a matter
which the roads here must settle among
themselves. If the 500 has any advan-
tage in being able to ticket across the
lake, that is its benefit; but they must
insist on full proportions on longtime
limited tickets. 1t is claimed by the
ChicagO-St. Paul lines that the 500 Is
ticketing over the Michigan Central via
Mackinaw, but this is denied, as the
Michigan Central requires it to furnish
samples of all tickets used before they
are put into the hands of the passen-
gers. That is where the matter stands
at present, with the final results still
doubtful.
Seemingly not satisfied with the sensa-
ton it has already provoked among It's
competitors by announcing a rate of /
cent mile from the Twin Cities to the
G. A. r. annual encampment at Cleve-
land, the 500 has thrown another bomb
shell into the camp of the enemy. Yester-
dNy the 500 officially announced that il
VIII make a 1-cent-a-mile rate to the en-
campment at Cleveland from all points
in Minnesota and North and South Da-
kota. The Soos competitors were not ex
actly expecting this move, which will
mean more meetings. The other lines
will of course be obliged to meet the rate
or lose money

SCHLEY WITNESSES
PARTIAL LIST HAS BEEN TURNED
IN TO THE ACTING sECRE-
TARY OF THE NAVY
STATEMENT BY MR.. HACKETT
Court VIII Convene at Washington
on the 18th of September, and
Names Are Not Given
Out.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Acting Sec
rotary Hackett, of the navy department,
gave out a statement tonight in regard
to the witnesses to be summoned by the
Schley court of inquiry. 1t is as fol-
lows:
There have been numerous inquiries
by the gentlemen of the press as to
who are to be the witnesses before the
Schley court of inquiry. 1 recognize the
intense public interest that attends the
converting of this court. 1 also take
into account and respect the professional
zeal of the press, and the earnest desire
of each gentleman to obtain early and
full information for his particular news
paper.
ut has been found necessary however,
to say something to put an end to the
daily inquiries on the subject. This is
done with no purpose or desire to keep
anything from the public.
The court will convene on the 18th of
September. What witnesses will be
brought before the court in behalf of
Admiral Schley is for the admiral him
So to say No man can possibly know
what witnesses the court is going to
summon before them. The judge advo-
cate of the court on the 18th of July
addressed letter to Admiral Schley,
requesting the admiral to communicate
with him in regard to the witnesses, if
any of them were located at a distance
from Washington, whom he might wish
to have appear before the court. This
was uOuG D6CduSG IL was ldh6u LII AM
ed that most of them were officers of
the navy. 1t was highly important that
they should be within reach when wanted
to testify.
Admiral Schley responded with par
tial list of those whom he thought he
would be likely to want present, stating
that there would doubtless be others.
He was told that he would have right
to call others as witnesses, and also in
formed that some of the persons named
by him might possibly be called by the
judge advocate.
1.-The whole thing is in the preliminary
stage, to see to it that officers of the
navy who are cognizant of the facts in
volved will be where they can be reached
in season to attend as witnesses if
needed"
Beyond this statement Mr.. Hackett
declined to answer specific questions as
to particular witnesses, especially as to
whether Admiral Sampson was on the
hist prepared by the judge advocate of
the court, and he further announced that
hereafter he would decline to answer all
inquiries regarding matters relating to
the Schley court.

REVISING FEDERAL CODE.
Commissioner BOtl1fn at Work OIL
the Judicial Section.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug 49,
Alexander C. Botkin, of Montana, chair
man of the United States code commits
sion has arrived here to spend several
weeks. Mr.. Botkin is accompanied by
his stenographer, and devotes a portion
of each day of his vacation to official Ia
bors. The duty of the code commission
includes revision of all the laws of the
United States of a general and permanent
nature, but it is at present engaged in the
pursuance of the special limitation OF
congress in revising the laws respecting
the organization, practice and Jurisdic-
ton of the federal courts. Commissioner
Botkin said:
1.-The commission will recommend
number of more or less radical changes.
The most complete of these is the con-
solidation of all original jurisdiction IN
the United States district court and max
ing the circuit court take the place or
the present circuit court of appeals as the
intermediate court of review. II the
changes proposed are adopted by con-
gress judges of the circuit court will pc
wholly relieved of the trial OF cases IN
the first instance, and will perform only
the duties attaching to an appellate court
Various changes in practice will also be
embodied in the report OF the commits
sion in the interest of uniformity, SIM
plicity and convenience.
Mr. Botkin believes that the commits
sion will be able to report the revision Of
the judiciary code at the beginning of
the next session of congress.
1t recently submitted a project for a
United States penal code, which is de-
signed to cover the numerous omissions
and defects in the present criminal laws.

through ms Ilpapfo the
gets light the railroads try to stimulate

traffic by cutting the rates.
Shipments of -four for the last week
were 1866 barrels, a gain of 2,064 barrels
over last year. Shipments of grain were
1,284,000 bushels, loss of 1160O0 bushels
from the previous week. and $4,000 bush
els from last year. Shipments of provi-
sions were 29,1N tons, showing a loss of
651 tons from the previous week, and
gain of 1866 tons over last year.
Western roads are having good traffic
not only in grain, which is about UP
to normal but also in merchandise The
grain traffic in the Southwest is not quite
so large, but the roads in that section
are having all the business they can
handle. There is grain blockade at Kan
sas City, but this is due in a measure to
the movement in grain into that section
from all parts, and not entirely to the
shipments from first hands, as a large
quantity of grain has been attracted to
that market by the high prices.
The receipts at Chicago last week were
the largest in four years, and aggregated
5,73l,W0 bushels, a gain of Sc, 900 bushels
over the week previous, and of 372, 600
bushels over last year At primary
points the grain receipts increased 647, 900
bushels, and were 473,O0O more than last
year.

Gently.
The Duluth. Virginia & Rainy Lake
Railway company will construct twenty
miles of railroad soon.
Work has been started for the Great
Northern car shops at Everett, Wash.
They will be of brick. There will also
be large. roundhouSe.
The Great Northern is doing consid-
cradle amount of grading near Fort Ben
ton, Mont, on the Jennings branch.
The Burlington will soon erect a station
at Lead, S. D.
A railroad is projected from Lehigh,
Iowa, to Burnside, to furnish another
outlet for the mining and manufacturing
products of Lehigh.
The Chicago & Northwestern will re-
build it's coal sheds at Huron, S. D.,
which were recently burned, with mod
ern structure.
Work on the Great Northern line be-
tween Marcus, Wash. and Republic, has
been taken UP again.
The foundation for the Burlington pas
senger depot at Owatonna, Mimi, is
about completed. The depot will be of
brick and stone, and will cost $S5, 600.
1t is understood that the Chicago &
North Western will soon arrange for an
extension from Sioux City to CenterVille,
S. D.
The Great Northern will erect a new
freight house at Willmar, MINI.
The Iowa Central railroad has voted
to issue 100000 bonds at once for i'm
provement to the system.
It is reported that the Burlington will
convert the Deadwood Central line, from
Deadwcod, S. D., to Lead, into an cleo
trio line.
The attempt of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe road to borrow d large num-
Der of new freight cars, recently built
for the Northern Pacific road, from that
line, has proven futile. The Northern
Pacific states that 1t needs the cars for
it's own business, which is tremendous in
volume this year.
Officials of the Burlington road have re-
ports from all divisions of their lines in
Nebraska showing copious rains through
out the state Sunday night. The rain will
do an immense amount of general good,
though 1t is altogether too late to be of
any benefit to the corn crop. 1t is now
admitted that there will be little or no
marketable corn in Nebraska this year.
All that is raised will be good only for
feeding purposes.
The Great Northern is using a track
laying machine for the first time on Mon
tana construction work. Rails are being
laid at the rate of from a mile and d
half to two miles a day at a cost, it Is
estimated, of $500 less a mile than under
the old system Similar machines have
been recently used by the Burlington
with a reduction of $500 q mile in cost.
