The district is practically under mar

committed that the natives are absolutely

sentative George w. Steel of Indiana and
the other Charles S. Grosvenor of Ohio.
Representative Steel, though coming from
state where revision is favored said:
l am In favor of enactng but little legis-
lation this winter. 1t may be that we can
reduce international revenue taxation on Ger
tain articles where the taxation may now be
unnecessary. Such action would be feasible
and We could accomplish it much better than
by attempting to tinker with the tariff If
we try to reduce the tariff on any one article
We disturb the entire system and open the
door to greater changes. The agitation for
tariff reduction seems to come from Wiscon-
SIM The fall in prices Of Industrial stocks
should check that kind Of talk
Representative Grosvenor said ''the tariff
would no more be amended than the Ten
Commandments That is the significance
OF Tuesdays elections said he. 1.-The
republican majorities mean that the peo-
pie do not want reciprocity treaties or re-
vision OF the tariff

Laura Bullion wasidentified to-day in

formerly knew her when she lived in
Texas. Following this, Laura Bullion said
to Chief Desmond:
L have known the prisoner whom you call

Before that she lived with Bill Carver.

in Sonora, Texas, April 2, last. Laura
Bullion went to Fort Worth from her
home in Douglas, Ariz., to meet Long
baugh, who was introduced to her by Bill
Cheney, another member Of the gang. She
added:
He had plenty of money and l never asked
him any questions as to where he got It, He
gave me the money that was In my possession

good differential or declare war. A
prominent official of one of the long lines
said to-day:
There has not at any time been complete
harmony In Minneapolis Chicago rates, but
the agreement governing the time has been
the most effectual means that could be de-
Vlsed. Now that the Milwaukee has with
oraWn and Will be followed by other roads
IN cutting down the time, the weak lines have
nothing to do but demand a good differential
or proceed to take it without an agreement.
We do not intend to give up bI siness with
out fight.
The mileage of the various lines from
Minneapolis to Chicago is as follows:
North Western, 412; Milwaukee, APO;
Great Western, 43O; Burlington, 442; Wis
consin Central, 472. The present mileage
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis is $40. IN
er the new route over the Illinois Cen
trail this will be reuced to 4S8 miles. The
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern,
which will enter the twin cities next
spring, will also be an element in the Sit
uation. It's mileage will be about the
same as the present mileage of the Min
neapolis & St. Louis.
Roads Prepared to Cut.
In anticipation of this move the various
Chicago lines have been making improve
ments for several years. The North
Western and the Milwaukee have led in
this regard. The North Western has all
but las miles between Minneapolis and
Chicago double-tracked. This gap will be
completed within two years. The indica-
tions are that the near future is to see
a hot race betwene these two systems
for the Chicago business. Both are we'll
equipped. The North Western expert
mented last week on fast time over 2O6
miles of its Minneapolis Chicago line. 1t
hauled a special train that distance into
this city in two minutes less than four
hours. At this rate it would be possible
to make the Chicago run in about seven
hours. 1t is general talk in railroad
circles that the North Western welcomes
the challenge to fast time service be-
tween Minneapolis and Chicago. For some
cutting down the time. The Milwaukee's s
fast mail train has made the distance in
ten hours. On other trains of both roads,
the limitations as to a through sleeper on
fast trains have been lodged. The sleep
ers have been taken on at points outside
Minneapolis and Chicago and the time
made in less than the 1874 hours named in
the agreement.
1t is believed that new schedule will
operate locally in favor of Minneapolis.
Trains arriving here from the east ear
lier in the morning would prompt more
people to come on through to this citv
instead of stopping in st. Paul On pres
ent schedules, many of the trains from the
south and east passing through St. Paul
arrive so late in the morning that the
majority of the passengers leave the
train there

FOR STARTING A BIG FIRE

Special to The JournaL

Brainerd, Mimi, Nov. 7-Sheriff Tanner
OF Little Falls came here to-day and ar
rested Peter Anderson on a charge of
starting the forest fires which caused
such heavy losses to farmers in Grow
wing and Morrison counties. Anderson's 8
family lived at the time of the fires in
Morrison county but recently removed to
within four miles of Brainerd.
1t is asserted that Anderson endeayored
to sell straw pile to his neighbors be-
fore moving. They did not care to buy.
and rather than leave the straw for those
who would not purchase, it is said he set
It on fire and went away. To this be-
ginning the conflagration is traced.
The arrest was made at the instance of
State Fire Warden c. G. Andrews. The
sheriff left this afternoon with his pris-
oner for Little Falls, where the prelimin-
ary hearing will be held.

London, Nov. THE hearing of tha
charges against Theodore and Laura Jack
son (Ann Odelia Diss De Bari, was res
sumed at the Marlyebone police court to-
day before a crowded courtroom. Enough
witnesses have been summoned to keep
the case going for weeks. Laura Faulk-

The most dramatic incident to-day was
when Laura Jackson began her customary
badgering cross-examination Of the witt

the female prisoner, and violently de-
nouncing her as the author OF her ruin.
The incident aroused loud applause,

the case was not marked by the ability
which she has heretofore displayed.

Weak Lines to Claim a Chi
cago Differential
IF TIME is REDUCED
The Milwaukee Abrogates the. Pres
ent Time Agreement.
A 1o-HoUR SERVICE MAY RESULT
other Strong Lines Are All Ready
and Eager for the
Contest.

The withdrawal of the Milwaukee road
from the agreement limiting the schedule
time for trains between this city and Chi
cago to not less than 1879 hours will prob
ably result in the weaker lines, whose
mileage and tracks do not permit their
entering fast train competition, between
the two cities, making a demand for a
dlnerential rate between Chicago and
Minneapolis. The ten hour service. which
will probably be inaugurated by the Mil
Waukee and other roads, will place some
of the weaker lines at a disadvantage in
securing the business unless they make a
rate to overcome the handicap.
To FOrtify This Gateway.
In withdrawing from the agreement
governing the time of trains between Min
neapolis and Chicago, the Milwaukee road
intimates that it's principal motive is to
make secure for the Minneapolis gateway
its share of the traffic to and from the
coast. The North Western, Union Pa
company have recently formed a more
perfect combination reducing the time ma
terially between Chicago and Portland,
through Omaha. The passenger traffic be-
tween Portland and Chicago is big. Under
the present schedule the Union Pacific and
North Western combination through Oma-
ha makes the best time and is bidding
strong for the business. The Milwaukee
has determined to cut loose and shorten
the time through the Minneapolis gate
way by revising schedules between this
city and Chicago. Early in the week A.
c. Bird, vice president and general traffic
manager of the Milwaukee system,
notified the executive officers of the other
Minneapolis Chicago lines that the Mil
waukee would withdraw from any under
standing or agreement governing the time
of trains between this city and Chicago,
prefacing his statement with a reference
to the reduction in time to the coast
through Omaha.
It is believed that the next move Of the
Milwaukee will be the installation of a.
ten-hour train service between Minneapo-
lis and Chicago. This will without ques-
ton be met by the North Western and
possibly others. The roads whose mileage
and tracks do not allow such time will
demand a differential rate. If this should
not be agreed to by the strong lines the
weak lines will proceed to take It. which
would precipitate general rate war.
something the traffic men do not desire.
The Present Agreement.
The agreement referred to has been in
force for about twelve years. 1t pro-
vided that the time to be made bv all
trains carrying through sleepers between
Minneapolis and Chicago should not be
less than 1871 hours. This was the result
of disastrous rate wars and was about
the most effectual way of maintaining
anything like harmony among the roads.
The weak lines made it the only con
dition on which peace could be main
tained. Now that the Milwaukee has cut
loose from the agreement, the long lines
will unquestionahly make demand far a
