HUGE TRUST
is PLANNED
RAILROADS CONSIDER COM
MUNITY OF INTERESTS.
NO MORE RATE CUTTING
Proposed Scheme Intended to Do
Away with All Undue
Competition.
NO MORE RATE CUTTING

st. Paul, Jan. 1.-The Pioneer Press
tomorrow will say that there is nov
being prepared in St. Paul a special
train of seven cars in which officials
of nearly all the prominent railroads
of the country will visit the principal
shipping points, to study conditions
with a view to doing away with EAST
freight lines and local freight
agencies.
The plan is to have in each city one
man to represent all the different
roads. All business will be done
through him and he will see that each
of the roads secures it's share of bust
ness.
To illustrate the plan: Such con-
Germs as the ''Erie Despatch, ""Mer-
chants Despatch" and similar organi-
cations of fast freight lines will cease
to exist. Railroads not entering a
shipping point who have to maintain a
freight agent to look after their in
terest there will in the future be rep
resented by q joint agent of all the
roads.
If this gigantic G,lan is carried out
at least 10, 900 high priced railway
officials will be displaced, thus afford
ing an enormous saving in this respect
alone. But the main object of this
Community of interests" is for the
maintenance of tariff rates.
Railroad officials, it is said, have
long seen the folly of rate cutting, but
have not been able to avoid it while
there has been such active competition.
Should the plan suggested be adopt
ed, there would, of course, be no
longer any competition for freight bus
mess and tariff rates would be main
tanned.
The saving would, the promoters Of
the scheme predict, result in enor-
mously increasing profits of the
roads. There would be no necessity
for differentials in favor of the weaker
roads. The joint agreement at each
competing point would assign to each
road its equitable share of business
this share having been previously de.
cided upon by high officials who have
the matter in and.
James ]. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railroad, when seen
in regard to the plan outlined, denied
any knowledge of it.

BURKE PREC|P|TATES A BIG ROW
South Dakota Congressman Responsible for Liveliest
Kind of Scrap Between Women of
Brooklyn and Philadelphia.

land, composed of ladies, with the
understanding that the society should
preserve it and hand it down to
the future with due ceremony. The
resolution was on the point of being
adopted when up popped a member
from Philadelphia with the announce
ment that the discarded emblem having
been made by a we'll known ladies'
society of that city and presented to
congress-, should be given back to the
society, now that it is no. longer to be
used.
The suggestion would have been
timely and to the point, but for the
fact that the ladies' society aforesaid
is no longer in existence. Some of
the original members are still living,
but the society ceased to be a good
many years ago and having left no
successor, the Long Island people think
there is no reason why it should
now be recognized IN the return of the
flag. The Long Island claim, they
insist. having been made first, is en-
titled to recognition.
Meanwhile congress has not decided
how to act and the newspapers in
Brooklyn and Philadelphia are run
ming a serial, composed for the most
part of gingery statements of women
most interested on the ~conrending
sides. And the whole affair is justly
chargeable to Burke and his resolution
| for the purchase of a new flag.

NEW YEAR IN MANILA.

Washington, Jan. If President
McKinley's New Year reception
proved greater than that Of General
Macarthur it is not the fault Of
the people Of Manila. This reception
was the first official function at which
Americans and Filipinos have mingled
in a social way.
For three hours a stream of vehicles
wound through the grounds Of the
governor generals residence and dis
charged their callers, official and civ
ilian, most of them native, though
there was a sprinkling of foreigners.
The American flag, branches of
Nipa flowers and vines predominated
in the decorations throughout the
mansion. Admiral Remy received the
callers by the side Of General MacAr-
thur and the wives Of several generals
assisted. The introluctions were made
by General MacArthur's staff, assisted
by members of the staff of Admiral
Remy. The callers, after having been
introduced, passed out upon the broad
balcony overhanging the Pasig river
and a majority Of them fingered about
the mansion until the ceremonies were
finished. .,....
Archbishop Chappell, apostolic dele
gate to the Philippines, and othe,
church dignataries were received first.
Members Of the Philippine commission
appeared first in black frock coats anG
their attire formed a decided contrast
to the white and gold uniforms Of the
officers of the army and navy. The
Filipino women wore elaborate native
continues and conv9rsed affably il
Spanish.
The use Of carriage numbers wa
not understood by the coachmen ant
much confusion occurred outside.

Washington, Jan. When Congress-
man Burke of South Dakota made his
point in the house of representatives
which resulted in the purchase of a
new flag for the wall behind the speak
er's desk, he unconsciously set the
wheels in motion for the biggest kind
of a row between the good women Of
Philadelphia and Brooklyn, who are
now al white heat in a contest to de-
eide who is to be the owner Of the
discarded emblem.
Mr.. Burke objection to the old flag
was that it did not contain the neces-
sary number of stars to represent the
present number of states.
1t was presented to congress a good
many years ago, and took no notice
in its starry field Of the Dakotas, Mon
tana, Idaho, Wyoming or Utah,
which came into the union after
wards. Burke Thought that the flag
behind the speaker ought to be up to
date and his point was we'll taken, for
a new IN was ordered and the old
one was consigned to the limbo of
some dust covered shelf in the capitol
basement. So far all was well.
Unfortunately for the peace of the
old flag, Mr. Fitzgerald of New York
presented a resolution in the house
just before the holiday recess pro-
viding that it should be turned over
! to the historical society of Long Is

centers Of hostile Dutch feeling as
GRAF Reinte, constitutes an element
Of danger which did not exist last
January.
The proclamation calling for volun-
teers comes very late. The invaders
have been enabled to obtain fresh
horses. All the horses in the Colony
ought to have been commandered or
bought at the first sign Of an invasion.
The correspondent complains Of the
inertia and reticence Of the authorities.
London, Jan. 1.-The Capetown cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail sends a
message which dwells upon the grav-
ity Of the situation in Cape Colony:
He says: The Boer invaders now
number 5000. The western invasion
gives the most concern. It has split
into two divisions, which are moving
like prongs of a fork, by way of
Sutherland toward Malmesbury and
the other toward Beaufort west.
The enemy are now ranging over
immense tracts of territory, necessitat-
ing the employment Of an army corps
to deal with them. Lord Kitchener
has poured troops into the disturbed
areas, but the tactics Of the Beers have
to a large extent ~neutralized his pre-
cautions.
1t was felt that the only means of
excluding the invaders from the rich
district in the western part Of the col
ony was to call out the farmers. To-
days kilograms promise splendid re-
Spouse from the eastern portion, but
the western is doubtful, not 80 pei
cent of the population being regarded
as loyal. Hence the Boer %concentra.
tion in that direction.
Letters are arriving here detailing
damage and robbery by invaders and
beseeching military assistance. Any
action on the part of the colony will
not abate the urgent need Of large re.
Inducements.

ed up to 1880 o'clock, the hour set for
closing the reception, but as the crowd
still stretched four abreast beyond the
outer gates, the president directed that
the reception proceed, that all might
come in.
Mrs. Mckinley endured the trying
ordeal with much composure, remain
ing alongside the president through
out. At one time, as a dainty little
girl stepped through, proudly carrying
a huge doll, Mrs. Mckinley no only
greeted the little girl, but also shook
hands with the doll, to the infinite
delight Of the little mother.

SALIENT POINTS IN NEW HER
REscHoFF BOAT.
FASTER THAN COLUMBIA
Will Have Less Draught and
Much More Power Than
Old Defender.

Providence, r. sI., Jan. 2-The
Evening Telegram today printed IL
Illustrated plans of the new Herreschof
cup defender and says in regard to
them, that the length and beam Of
the new boat will be greater than
Columbia's or Defenders, while. her
draught will be less, her form easier,
power largely increased and her speed
is estimated fully eight minutes bet
Columiba's. By his experience with a
broader beam III the 7Os last June
Designer Herreschof found that it
proved eminently successful. The
broad 7Os covered the cup course in
less time than Columbia or Shamrock
in any of their trials. This convinced
Captain Nat that the day Of the wide
beam had not gone forever, and in the
new defender, while sticking to the
fixed centerboard type, he is placing
even more reliance upon the beam and
relocation of the bulb fin than upon
any other feature of the yachts Sec
tional lines. Her keel is not SO deep
By half a foot and no thicker than
Columbia's at the widest part just
abaft the forefoot. From a diameter
Of about "a inches at the shoulder it
sweeps back to where the stern post
will be fixed, in easy lines to a width
Of six inches. Its greatest diameter is
said to be lower than Columbia s and
placed two feet forward of the point
where Columbia's keel shows the
greatest weight. The change is sup
posed to give even more sail carrying
power than %quickness in stays. which
is its principal object. From the top
Of the keel forward the bronze stem
will rise gently outward to the bob
stay and then turn up at a sharper
angle than Columbia's bow shows.

FITTING END OF A DIsAP.
POINTING YEAR.
ENGLAND IN The DUMPS
Riotous Elements and Continued
Reverses in War Sour John
Bulbs Temper.

New York, Jan. IA dispatch from
London says: The last day of a dis
agreeable and disappointing year was
most depressing. Floods were clap
ping their hands north and south and
west from unceasing rains and Birm-
ingham canal was breaking loose in
Staffordshire and causing great havoc.
The war news was bad and the war
office management was worse.
Additional details. of the British
reverse at Helvetia showed that a ia
nous fighting regiment, bearing the
names of glorious battle fields on it's
~colors, had been surprised at night
when strongly entrenched and had
lost II of its best guns in surrender
ing to the Beers. The fact that the
Beers invariably release their prisoners
does not render such incidents less
humiliating to British pride. The
bitterest dregs in the cup for English
lips through the campaign have been
the OWL tidings that their best bat
talions have been entrapped, taken off
their guard and captured with their
guns and there was a draught Of this
kind to leave a bad taste in the mouth
at the end of the year.
There was also a general feeling of
evaporation owe a fresh scandal, al
most as bad as the publication of the
Spion Kop dispatches, which would
inevitably involve laundering of mill
tary regulations under the public
pump. General Colville. confirmed
the general impression that he was
seeking trial by newspapers by issuing
a second statement, instead of reserv-
ing his case until Lord Roberts re-
turn. Military men shrug their
shoulders over his unprofessiona]
conduct in getting the public ear for
himself and scattering broadcast in
situations against the generalstaff
when Lord Roberts is nearing the
coast of England. They are inclined
to say with Corporal Brewster, lit
wouldn't have been done in the days
of the Dock" The spirit and cogency
of his defense are conceded, but vet
Grams consider it the worst military
form for Colville to rush into print,
as though he were convinced that the
case against him had been closed and
that he could not expect Justice from
the war Office.
Mr.. Broderick also is sharply criti.
cised for reversing Lord .Lansdowne's
ruling, but these structures are prema.
ture. It is not yet known whether
Lord Robcrts' report on the Lindley
affair was filed before or after Lord
Lansdowne left the war Office. ERODE,
rick's friends say he has not made any
attack upon the court, since General
Colville has no special influence there,
although he has a strong circle of in
fuential friends in the west end and is
a guardsmen general.

MURDERED BY BURGLAR.

his store this morning by a burglar.
The body was later found by a clerk
in the employ of Castley. The cash
register had been riled and every
pocket in the murdered mans clothes
had been turned inside out. The
burglar escaped.
