troll of the port and channel 1t is said
the Canadian government did not wish

In connection with the management of
the Grand Trunk Pacific it was stated
yesterday that C. M Hays is to be made
president, and in all probability will take
the best men from the various depart

them to the Grand Trunk Pacific. This
is the general plan of organization decided
on. although the details have not been

Stlckney Line Announces a
Proportionate Grain Rate
for Omaha.
Special to The Globe.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 81. = President
Stickney, of the Chicago Great West
ern, has thrown down the gauntlet to
competitors of his road entering this
city by announcing a proportionate
rate on grain shipments to Chicago,
putting Omaha on level with Kansas
City.
This rate applies to all grain ship
ped to Omaha from the West and al
lows a Scent rate on wheat and flour
and an Scent rate on corn to Chicago.
The rate on wheat and flour hitherto
has been IA cents, and that on corn IL
cents.
This is the first step taken by the
Great Western toward the promised
reduction of rates beneficial to Omaha,
and coming, as it does, directly upon
the heels of the announcement of Mr..
Stickney's plans for the establishment
of a big grain market here, arouses
intense interest among local railroad
and business men. In some quarters
it is believed that it will cause a big

Carolina and the constabulary of Ten
nessee occurred this morning thirty
miles from Madisonville, on the Ten
nessee-Carolina line, resulting in the
death of two men, James Flower,
father, and John Flower, son.
The affair arose over land in the vi
cinity, the location of which, in regard
to the state line was disputed and upon
which diverse claims of ownership
were based, Washington Altman, who
now occupies the land, claiming it be-
cause it lies in Tennessee, and the
Flowers claiming it for North Caro-
lima.
Yesterday the two Flowers, support
ed by other sons, forcibly elected Att
man from the land. Altman swore out
warrants for the four men, and a posse
of constabulary, headed by Horace
Witt, endeavored to serve the war
rants, Notwithstanding the Flowers,
who had entrenched themselves, defied
arrest.
This morning, while two of the Flow
ers boys We're gone after supplies, an
attack was made on the remaining two,
father and son, and in the melee which
followed, both We're killed, the posse
escaping without injury.

created intense excitement, though the
general feeling is that the Flowers
