Rates by the Railroads.

Denver, Jan. 23-Sweeping reductions
in the number OF permits for special
rates to be granted this year, were made
by the local passenger associfsion at its
meeting yesterday afternoon. ff
Among chose cut off from these per-
mits are: All the ministers Denver
except "Parson" Uzzell; all The hospitals
in Denver; every secret society; Y w .
G. A. ; all Denver city missions; al char
ity bureaus but Two, the Jewish chari-
ties and the Charities organization; the
Sisters of Charity and all kindred organ
izatations
1t was said yesterday by several of the
passenger agents that the exception in
favor OF Mr.. Uzzell was made because
the work OF the "Parson is confined
largely to deserving poor.
The Y. M. G. A. was recognized be-
cause it helps all classes regardless of
creed.
The Jewish charities represent dis
tinct branch of charity in Denver and
the Charities organization Is held entitled
to special rates because it covers the en-
tire field not reached by the jewish or
ganization.

TROUBLE FOR CLEVELAND.
6. A. R. Encampment May Not
Be Such Good Thing for the
Forest City---Rate Troubles.

Chicago, Jan. 23-Action by the exec
utive committee Of the National Council
G A. r. deciding to hold the next ma
tional encampment in Cleveland instead
of Denver, is likely to cause trouble in
passenger traffic. Roads of the Central
Passenger associations territory decided
at meeting held in this city December
but inasmuch as the change decided up
on by the G. A. h. officials takes tue
place of meeting out of the jurisd ction
of the Western Passenger association,
which had also made the same rate on
the presumption that the encampment
would be held in Denver, the Western
roads have already cancelled their rate.
The lowest rate that will now be made
for the encampment from western terri
tory will be one fare for the round trip;
it may be one fare plus 81 for the round
trip, or even one fare and third. lnas-
much as Cleveland was chosen as the
meeting place because the Business
Mems league of that city had guaranteed
a one fare rate, the Cleveland promoters
may have to face serious problem in
making good the difference because it is
by no means certain that IA one fare rate
will be granted. AT any rate, the Buei
ness Mems league will have to make good
any difference that may and probably
will occur on account of the action of the
western roads.

MONTREAL ON FIRE.
Flames Distroy Over Three Million
Dollars Worth Of PROPERLY
Noted Buildings Gone,

Montreal, Jan. "a, a. m.-One OF the
most destructive fires that this city has
ever suffered came last night and not
withstanding the efforts Of the fire de-
partment, the flames we're not checked
until o'clock this Thursday morning.
BY that time it had destroyed about
100000 worth OF property and was
still burning, though the appearance was
that the fremen have at last got it under
control.
Included in the property burned is the
splendid board of trade building, which
cost $780, and housed over hundred
tenants, a half dozen large business
houses and two score Of small concerns.
The weather was cold and the hremep
were pretty badly hampered in this re-
spect.
Outside of the board OF trade building
there was modern structure among
those burned
The narrow streets, antiquated build
ipgs and the infiamable nature Of the
stocks they contained made a conhagra-
tion which the department was powerless
to deal with
Crowds of people jammed the narrow
streets and the police could not control
them. Women tainted, their clothes we're
torn and a few slightly injured in rushes
for safety.
Following is an estimate of the princi-
pal losses:
Board of trade, 100000; insurance
100000.
Tenants Of building, 100000.
Coristine & Co.. furs. 100000.
q. A. Nelson's Sons & Co. $15O.00O.
Silverman, Bolter & Co., hats, caps,
etc, $125,OOo.
Beardmore & Co. 100000.
The fire started in the premises OF M.
SAKE & Sons, wholesale clothiers, at Le-
merne and st. Peters streets.
The streets in that locality were prac-
tically dssererted at the time aod the fire
gained good headway before the alarm
was sent in. The firemen on arriving
found the building, three story struc-
ture mass Of flames.
