Minneapolis News.
Mill City Is Persistent


Although the Omaha road has refused
to grant Minneapolis any concessions in
return Tor the vacation of valuable
streets in North Minneapolis which the
railroad company wants for terminal pur-
poses the Commercial club has not sur
rendered.
Chairman S. H Hall of the public af
1alrs committee has addressed the follow
ing letter to shippers requiring their CO.
operation in an effort to bring about an
equitable adjustment of rates.
his letter is a forcible one. In part it
says:
We have set forth facts and figures
Wlllch we believe show conclusively to
any unbiased mind that we are entitled to
an Sl-cent rate from the East: we also
called their attention to the Injustice of
ourselves paying, or country merchants
VINO trade here paying, twice as much for
gwen services as is paid on shipments
from Chicago.
For instance to haul car load of
1C,OO0 pounds of first-class merchandise
from Minneapolis 100 miles toward ST
James they charge $31.15, but for the
same service from Chicago the charge is
only $l5.72. For hauling such a car load
OF goods from Minneapolis 100 miles to-
ward Marshall, Mimi, they charge $34. So
and from Chicago $15.75.
The same discrimination against Min
neapoiis and st. Paul, and in favor of
Ch1cago, prevails to practically all sta
tions in Southern Minnesota Northern
Iowa and South Dakota
HJhere is every reason based on prece-
cent, common sen and justice, why these
I3leS should be corrected and the muN-
chandlse business of this city given fair
treatment,yet they decline to do a thing
If 1act their position really is that nothing
ShouId be done, and that Vie ought not to
nave any better rates than now exist

WASHINGTON, Aug. SIN all the re-

further its export trade, repeated men
ton has been made of the danger of
American competition in that monarchy.
according to Consul General Hurst in
report to the state department. A meas

1t is stated, is demanded by Austrian
manufacturers and economists who
claim that inasmuch as Germany mas
prohibited the Importation of certain
meats In alright cans and barrels which
acts chiefly on American shipments in
this line, American packers, losing MAJ
ket in Germany, should be hindered from
increasing their sales in Austria-Hun
gary.
one we'll known Austrian manufacturer
says Mr.. Hurst advocates the formation
or trusts in Austria on American prfn-
clples. The supposed American peril"
the consul continues, is touched upon in
all discussions concerning the strength
enlng and expansion of Austrian com
merce, and during the debate in the
Austrian parliament over the big canal
system bill, frequent reference was
made to the growth and power of the
United States, and the danger of it's com

opinion and votes before it was accepted.
One member, after giving his approval,
wanted to change his vote, but later de-
cided to allow it to remain.
By reason of the delay ana the change

Plumbing and Heating company, who
held the contract for plumbing and heat
ing the new Jail, claim to have incurred
considerable expense in the purchase of
material and the holding of the same,
and asked for a little money on account.
The county architect will investigate and
report.
Morgue Keeper Richardson asked for
a raise in salary, making a demand for
an increase in his monthly stipend from

the members decided to throw out all the
bids and send the superintendent out into
the open market to see If he could not
do better.
The bids ranged from 1888, asked for
by the Ohio Coal company, to S4 a ton,
demanded by Coke Bros. & Co., the ma
jority, however, asking $500.
Comm issioner Hamm informed the
board that $3.50 was the combination
price, and for the present that was the
best that the board could Go.
The BIDS might be rejected, however,
and the superintendent allowed to go out
and purchase in the open market, with
view Of getting the best quality for the
money. His suggestion was acted upon.
Knowing ones said that the price for
st. Paul was fixed by one member of the
combination, and the bal2nce of the dea'-

that the Ohio Coal company had gone be-
low the stipulated price seemed to excite
some comment.
Commissioner Hamm advised the use
of screenings, if furnaces cou be salts

this will be done. The supply for the
year under the present price will cost
about $4,000, while the use Of screenings,
he said, would reduce the cost about
