RAILROADS At PEACE NOW
WILL BE NO MORE RATE WARS.
An troncIad Agreement SiEncd-IIar-
rimnn the Directing Figure-AIE
Western Roads Conccrmed-stenm-
ship Lines Included.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Tribune
says:
e. III. Hartman was the directing
figure in two movements begun re,
Gently which are expected to affect
every railroad running west Of Chica-
go and st. Paul. What is believed to
be the first step toward composite
agreement between the great roads
running west of these cities was per-
fected at a conference held here be-
tween Mr.. Hartman and the officials
of the companies concerned. BY It's
terms an ironclad agreement to end
rate wars and other complications is
expected to be spread over all the
roads in the northern group, includ
ing the Northern Pacific, the Burling.
ton, the Milwaukee Il st. Paul, the
Union Pacific, the Great Northern
lines. AT the southwest the Southern
Pacific and Missouri Pacific will op.
crate hand in hand.
1t will be a community of interests
plan and provides that the Pacific
Mail and Occidental Steamship lines,
controlled by the Southern Pacific,
shall take care of the Santa Fe's
j transpacifc business. The other move
directed by Mr.. Hartman was the
practical provision for the transfer of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
to the Hartman syndicate and the
turning of this line into link of the
Union Pacific system.
This plan was arranged at secret
conference held at the Auditorium An
mex, attended by many railroad men
and number of bankers.
Little doubt is entertained that the
Milwaukee e. st. Paul on practically
the same lines that j. J. Hin secured
control of the Burlington. The stock
of the ST. Paul road will be taken over
by the Union Pacific at the October
meeting. 1t is reported that the
stockholders of the former line will
be offered 5000 of per cent bonds
for every 500 worth of stock, and that
the bonds will be guaranteed by the
Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Missouri Pa.
cific and the Goulds, who are said to
be parties to the transaction. Ger
tain large stockholders of the st. Paul,
it is said, have sold or sell stock to
the par value of $25,000,000
The Chicago Tribune says: That the
Hartman combine has secured control
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul,
and that composite agreement has
been made to perfect a community of
interests with roads having tracks
enough to twice belt the globe, is gen.
orally accepted in railroad circles. The
sudden departure of Hartman for the
east, accompanied by President Mitch
ell of the Illinois Trust & Savings
bank, was announced in support of the.
statement that Mitchell and other
bankers would furnish the funds for
the completion of the Milwaukee st.
Paul transfer. The meeting of the
western officials with Mr.. Hartman Is
believed to have been the result of the
recent controversy over the control of
the Northern Pacific stock which drove
short holders to cover at $1,000 a share.

MADE HER GUEST PAY THE s4oo
The Story of a New York Woman
Who Gave Bridge Whist Party.


New York women have gone in for
bridge whist with a vengeance. In the
course of an evening it is said that
sometimes as much as $4,000 changes
hands, and such small sums as $500
frequently. a story is told of a, wom-
an who recently joined the ranks of
of these fair bridge whist players are
in having debts of honor promptly set
tied.
At a card party which she gave this
winter one OF the players, a man, lost
something like $500. When the game
was over he babe his hostess good
night and told her he would send his
check for the amount the following
morning.
1T is our custom" she informed him,
Ito settle up everything at once. Can
you not pay it noW?'
L am sorry L cannot, for I never
carry such an amount of money with
me- he answered.
Can you not give me a check?'
This was equally impossible, as the
young man had no check with him
Well" said the hostess, "can you
not get the money from some of your
friends at your club? 1 will have a
messenger called"
Finally the man yielded to his host
ess' persistence and sent a messenger
to several of his clubs before the boy
found one of the mans friends who
could lend him the necessary money.
Another story concerns a young girl

The bond of sympathy between these
two men who have never seen each
other is very strong. La Faye, being
perhaps the more receptive. shows more
marked indications of this influence.
One evening he come down to his Office
earlier than the usual hour and was
found there calling for Coleberry plain

said, when asked for an explanation.

a new man came 10 the other end of
the wire that night at the regular hour.
He said COleberry's house had burned
down that afternoon, and Coleberry,
who was sleeping in an upstair room,
had d narrow escape from being burned
70 death.
In other peculiar ways La Faye has
betrayed remarkable prescience in GER
tain affairs connected with COleberry,
so much SO that it might seem that
the solid electric wire that binds them
together at night becomes an invisible
bond between their two mentalities by
day. That will be a strange meeting
next month when these two amiab bic,
bright fellows. the closest friends Tor
many years. see each other for the f1rst
time and note personally how marvel
ously alike they have grown.

The idea met With instantaneous and

this occa sion. On the evening selected
for the ceremony the committee formed
themselves together, properly befrock-
coated and all ready TO hand over the
sword a full hour before the time set
for that event.
Time hung heavily on their hands
and in a fatal moment the rash sug
gestion was made that taking drink
would be an agreeable way TO pass the
time. Indeed, so successfully did the
Lecky, the sword and the reason why
they were together passed out of the

friendly scuffie ensued, in which Bells
frOck coat was pitt UP the back. He
said afterward that to save the sword
he lost his coat. He couldn't use his
hands because of guarding the sword,
and that was why his raiment was
rent. After this catastrophe Bell con-

length arrived to pull off the presenta-

Waving the sword over his head he
danced up to a group.

When Edward Rostand got out of the
