Passenger Men IN session III 81. Tdui ior
the Purpose.
The general passenger agents Of tho
Chicago-St. Paul lines are in st. Paul to
consider the decentralization In rates.
They have little hope Of finding a remedy
for the situation. The scheme proposed
at the last meeting to pool all passenger
traffic was killed by it's exposure in the.
1t was rumored yesterday that the Wis
consin Central had decided to Withdraw
from the Western Passenger association.
To 'test the market or prove who was
cutting rates, the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION hired lot of students Of the
University of Chicago to act as detectives.
Although every line between here and the
twin cities was cutting rates on party
business, for some reason the amateur de-
tectives of the association secured proof
of rate cutting only against the Wisconsin
Central road.

Special to The Journal.
Montreal, Feb. l7.-C. M. Hays. vice
president and general manager of the
Grand Trunk said yesterday, referring to
the rumor that the Grand Trunk-Paci f1c
scheme had been abandoned, that there
was no truth in it at all; that the idea
was simply ridiculous, and as far as the
Grand Trunk was, concerned the position
was unchanged. When the necessary
legislation had been obtained work would
begin, but not before.

HOW MCKINLEY RELAXED AND } 5&%5# Sr-cyrrUsr,5ss

.3'g RESTED.
 x Some people may think that because the president has been absent from Washington so much smile at the inno- vations at the White House that he is not very fond of the place. It may be possible that MT. Roosevelt, no more than any one else, likes all that has been done about the historic mansion, especially in the matter of the present executive office. As to the White House proper the presidents actual home and residence, the changes there have not been so radical, not do they concern the public as much as the all legged wings and long terraces reaching to the streets on either side. It is quite evident that the present executive of fees are far from being as comfortable or having as fine an outlook as those enjoyed by all the presidents of the past. :. <5.
 Those who knew MT. Mckinley well say that when great problems were thrust upon him, and he was undergoing the greatest mental strain, he would ask some friend to step out on the south poFlicot VI Ias " AltC A1ouse " Sit H lie window of the cabinet room and smoke a cigar with him, :: - i. ] <, "Let us devote ourselves to our ci- gars and this magnificent view" he would say, ''and in their enjoyment we may forget these matters that trouble sus." A.
 Then he would smoke and talk about the view before him, about some boyish prank or some incident of his busy life with humorous turn. When the cigar was finished he would take 8 farewell look at the beautiful Potomac and the park and the distant Virginia hills and return to his work.--Washington Post,
