THE 1900 TARIFFS CANCELLED
The Chs.nYe Appears to BE In vio-
1ation of q Railway Commits
sion Order.

Fargo, Moorhead, St. Cloud, Fergus
Falls and Crookston are wipe doH the map
as distributing points after next Saturday.
With the new distance tariffs filed to-day
by the Great Northern and Northern. Pa
cihc,, notices were filed canceling the tariff
of 1900, establishing class rates from
these points to stations in Minnesota and
North Dakota.
These tariffs were filed in compliance
with an order Of the railroad and ware
house commission, and after an extended
hearing. The order of the commission
was not contested in the court.
In calceling the tariffs, the notices dis
stinctly state that they will be super
seeded after Jan. rs by the new distance
tariff. 1t is understood that a n ew ter
minaI tariff will be filed tomorrow, max
ing new rates from Minneapolis and St.
Paul to all points north and west. Unless
new tariff If filed for their benefit, this
will leave the smaller cities high and dry,
and there will be great cutlery from the
wholesale merchants Of the five cities.
It will be in violation Of the order Of the
old commission, and it remains to be seen
whether the new commission will stand by
the order.
The Northern Pacific tariff was filed
about noon to- day. The Great Northern
and 500 followed latef. The tariff are
identical, and do not name stations, but
rates per hundred for each distance.
Their effect is reduction of about II per
cent, as previously noted.
Tariffs were also filed to-day by the
Willmar & Sioux Falls and the Minneapo-
lis & st. Louis. The first is distance
tariff, to take effect Jan. 25. The Will
mar & Sioux Falls cancels Its special tariff
from Sioux Falls to points in South Da-
kota, Iowa, Minnesota and substitutes the
distance tariff. The Minneapolis & St
Louis tariff only applies to Hazelrun and
points east of Watertown, that is, to
points beyond the Willmar & Sioux Falls,
meeting the latter's rate. The new tariffs
are understood to be a substantial reduc-
tion on all classes of merchandise.

Governor Reaches San Fran

SEES THE WARS END
Hostilities Confined to Batangas and
Samar Provinces.
FORMER SOON TO BE PAcIF1ED
Gov. Taft Says the Filipinos Arc
More Favorable to Civil Gov
eminent Than Ever.

San Francisco. Jan. 21.-W. H. Taft,
has arrived here on the transport Grant.
He is quite Ill. the Philippines climate
and his arduous duties having told on
his constitution. He thinks that after q
few days rest in this city he will be
strong enough to undergo the trip east
war Governor Taft says he hopes to
leave for the east on Thursday.
He says the war is confined to two
provinces--Batangas and Samar-and the
operations in Batangas occasionally range
into the neighboring provinces of Tayabas
and Laguna. The governor says that Gen
eral Wheaton is doing splendid work in
the islands and that that officer assured
him shortly before. he sailed that the
natives of the province. of Batangas and
it's vicinity would all be pacifed before
the close of next March. Governor Taft
said:
The provinces of Cebu and Bohol. until re-
Gently disturbed by insurgent operations, have
settled down, the fighting men having all sur
rendered. The Filpinos very anxious to
secure a legislature as a step toward the per-
manent establishment of civil government.
The present civil government has been work
ing with great zeal and has far exceeded ex-
pectations. The chief difficulty is the lack
Of police protection in the provinces. Small
bands Of robbers still infest the back dis
tricts They terrorize the natives, and until
the strong arm of the law is able to suppress
Them, absolute Quiet in the islands will not
be obtained. The native Filipino police have
proved success. They were appointed by
the civil government and Differed by AmerI-
cans and they do good service.
The governor says he is much improved
by the sea voyage and will spend several
days at his old home in Cincinnati before
going to Washington. He is accompanied
by his wife, and will remain in the United
States two months. He will make an
exhaustive report to the president on con-
ditions in the Philippines under the civil
government and the success of the pacifi-
cation measures and also will submit his
| views upon the needs Of the natives He
declares that there has never been time
since the United States became interested
in the islands that the attitude of the
| Filipino people as whole has been so
friendly to the civil government estab-
lished by the United States as now.

JUROR NO. 3 IS SECURED
Half of the Original Panel of Eighty
Men Excused-SlOW Work
&r% To-day.
Special to The Journal.

Grand Forks, N: D., Jan. 21.-There
were no sensational developments in the
West murder trial this morning. The
courthouse was again packed to the doors
and relatives of West and the late Frank
w. March were in the court room. But
one more juror was secured, Charles
Dinney of Awhile, a farmer, making three
in all that have been accepted. g
The state has in reserve nine of its ten
peremptory challenges and the defense
has used four of its twenty. About half
Of the panel of eighty jurors has been ex-
cused, and it is foregone conclusion that
another panel Of eighty or 100 men will
be necessary to secure the full jury
The examination of talesmen is very
exhaustive and tedious, but SO great is
the interest in the trial that every per-
son fortunate enough to get seat holds
his place steadfastly.
The state is determined to prevent any
citizen Of Grand Forks from getting on
the jury, while the defense is working
exactly contrary.
The Jurors accepted, in addition to
Dinney, are S. A. P. Winslow, farmer
whose residence is at Hegton, and S. 3.
o. Burg, a resident Of Northwood.
The sympathy of the audience is strong
ly in favor of West, partly on. account of
his aged parent. but more so from the
manner in which he has conducted him
self from the first.

WHEAT and FLOUR
Significance of Heavy Imports From
the Pacific Coast.


Special to The Journal.
Seattle, Wash, JAM 21.-Within three
months the Offices Of "A. A. Fowler & Co.,
large wheat exporting company of New
York., may be established in Seat tle
Mason R. Gregg, who is connected with
the firm, is here inspecting railroad con-
neotions with wheat-producing territories
and speaking Of the exporting trade this
year. and wheat matters, Mr.. Gregg said:
Statistics from all parts of the United States
have shown the past year to have been one
of the greatest years regards quality and
volume of production that the wheat raisers
Of this country nave ever known. The wide
market of American wheat has kept prices
brisk. Continued, heavy exports from the
Pacific coast have commanded considerable
attention In the eastern markets.. The fea-
ture of greatest interest is the increased
amount shipped to oriental points this year.
Not only has wheat been shipped in quaint
ties of unusual size, but a great volume Of
-four and other milled grain products has
been sent across the Pacific This fact shows
the consumption Of -four and bread in China,
Japan and other oriental countries is on the
increase Should flour become as important
food in these thickly populated countries
as it is in other civilized countries, the vol
ume of Pacific grain exports would soon sur
pass that of the Atlantic.

arrest at Jefferson City near here.
Logan probably will be tried at the
present term Of the circuit court on these

CLASH OF
FINANCIERS
Standard Oil and the Nor
gan-Hill interests at
I ggerheads.
Analysis Of the Rumors Of a
Combine of Financial
Organizations.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal.
s New York. Jan. 21.-While the reports
in circulation yesterday of an alliance Of
banks. trust companies and insurance
companies lacked det1ntteness and actual
confirmation, they attract considerable at
tention. The Wall street combination
indicated refers chiefly to the so-called
Standard Oil interests. The inclusion of
the steel corporation seems at variance
with Wall street ideas. as this company,
1t is thought, would make alliances in an
other direction.
z There: has for many months been a
growing supicion that there was lack of
harmony between the two largest groups
Of capitalists, the Standard Oil interests
and the Morgan Hill interests. There is a
well defined feeling that despite the ap-
parent harmonious settlement Of the
Northern Pacific difficulty by the organi-
cation Of the Northern Securities COM
pany. there is nevertheless an under
current of hostility between the two rival
interests. One OF Hills recent state
ments relative to the Securities has lent
much color to this view. The 3Ama1gam-
ated Copper episode and the decision OF
the St. Paul directors not to increase the
dividends on common are also cited as
further evidence Of lack of cooperation,
especially since these developments oc-
Cured at the time when the Morgan-Hill
interests were apparently earnestly en-
deavoring to create active speculation at
advancing prices.
Their is undoubtedly affecting on the
part of an element in. Wall street that
these two powerful groups of capitalists
have been gradually ranging themselves
in opposition. Both sides are strength
ening their positions by forming banking
alliances and the entrance of insurance
companies on the scene is evidence of the
wide ramifcations of rival combines.

bearing on the charge against General
Wilder S. Metcalf, nominated to be, pen-

Private Cofleld will take the prisoners
to the rear" ordered Major Metcalf.
Colin H. Ball, an officer in the regiment,
said there was not any rear. AS fast as
the line advanced the insurgents would
close in behind the regiment. This was
stated to Major Metcalf .
"You know your orders" Metcalf res
piled, and started for the front. In a min

ADDER MAY SUBTRACT

xvese YorAe SEN Special Serutes
Washington, Jan. 21.-Great interest att
taches to the forthcoming tests with tho
submarine torpedo boat Adder, which will
be officially tried in Peconic bay within
the next few weeks. There is every
evidence that the Adder as a type of tbs
latest submarine boat will surpass in its
maneuvering the qualities possessed by
the best boats Of its class abroad.
One Of the tests will be the bringing OF
the boat to. the surface with the stern to-
ward the target and requiring the craft
to be turned before firing. If the sub
marine can accomplish this work OF vital
attack In sixth Of minute and remove
itself from the guns Of a foe, the value OF
the submarine boat in naval warfare has
increased materially. The French sub
marine, which consumes i've minutes in
this onslaught, renders itself CONE
parattyely easy victim to the enemy.
