PROPOSED TARIFFS

auctions.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The Great West
ern today withdrew its notice of reduc-
ton in the rates on wire nails and other
iron products to the Wichita territory
The withdrawal was made because the
other roads at a meeting agreed to raise
their rates to the same territory 10 cents
per hundred.
No agreement was reached regarding
the rates on sugar and consequently the
Great Westerns proposed tariff of IL
cents from Chicago to the Missouri riv-
er will go into effect tomorrow.
The prompt settlement Of what threat
ened to cause a disturbance is taken to
indicate the disposition of the railroads
to avert another possible rate war. The
threatened reduction Of the sugar rate
made by the Great Western has not yet
been recalled, and 1t is said that it will
be met by competing lines if it is allowed
to become effective.
With a fierce grain rate war raging in
the East and another in the West, be-
tween the Great Western and the North
Western, fear was expressed in some
quarters that the hostilities would extend
and that general Generalization would re-
suit, but officials in this city are not dis

in novel suit commenced in the district
court at this place. The action is brought
by Fred j. Dockstader, an employee of the

coal from the mines Of the Empire Coal
company at Tracey. This company, he
charges, loaded a Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul car which had been pressed into
service and consigned it to the Des
Moines Coal company, delivering 1t to
the Des Moines Union Railway company,
which in turn delivered it to the Rex
Coal company here. When he went as

Lind, O'Brien, Rosing and Cullum.
These are the men whom great many
Democrats are urging as delegates-a at
large to the st. Louis national Demo-
cratic convention. John Lind bears
the distinction of having been the only
Democratic governor of Minnesota for
more than twenty years, and is the
single Democratic member of the ma
tional house from Minnesota. His place
on the delegation is conceded. T. D.
O'Brien is the national committeeman
for Minnesota of the party. L. A.
Rosing led the party in the last guber-
material campaign, and DR.. M. B. Cul-
lum has just been elected Democratic
mayor of the Republican city OF Du-
luth. The combination was discussed
at the meeting of the state committee

ton, advocating free trade and direct
taxation.
t. d. O'Brien, member of the Demo-
cratic national committee, said he re-
spected principles, but policies as wen
as principles must be recognized. The
issues would be settled by the children
of this generation; what, he asked, was
the use of waiting to give posterity the
benefit, when posterity had done moth
ing for the present generation?
Short addresses, in which the speak
ers differed somewhat in their posi-
tons, but in which there was absolutely
no feeling, were made by other mem
bers of the committee. An adjournment
was taken about o'clock.
The possibility of ]. ]. Leighton de-

two weeks in which to campaign, and

hustler. it will not surprise observant

Three Minnesota congressman are at
home or en- route home to look after
their political fences. Congressman C.
B. Buchanan, of the Sixth district, ar
rived in St. Paul yesterday; Congress-
man G. r. Davis, of the Third, is said
to be due at st. Peter in few days,
and Congressman James A. TaWney, of
the First is on his way to Winona. Re-
ports had reached them of complica-
lions in their districts and their pres
ence was demanded by their home
managers. Congressman Buchanan has
his fighting clothes on and does not
mince matters. Yesterday at the Mer-
chants he declared that he was for
Dunn for governor and was willing to
stand or fall on the issue. 1.-TWO years
ago l made no fight for the nominal
tion," said Mr.. Buchanan, but 1 pro-
pose to fight from start to finish this
time. 1 shall make the best fight

been known as a diplomat, and may
make mistakes, but I am willing to

Buchanan said he had secured seventy
new rural free delivery routes for the
people of his district and had given a.
claims, and he had looked carefully
after every wish of his constituents
that had been communicated to him.
A report is in circulation In political
circles that the Collins managers have

| meet at the Duluth convention and
issue a call for the Democratic state
convention, to nominate state ticket.
While no definite date was set, it is
understood that the committeeman are
inclined to select a date about Sept. 1
for the holding of this convention. 1t
will meet in st. Paul.
The chairman and secretary and the
Duluth delegation were named COM
mlttee to secure as favorable conceS-
sions es possible from the railroads for
delegates attending the state conven-
ton at Duluth.
The basis of representation in the
two conventions will be the same-one
vote for each $50 or major fraction
thereof cast for Bryan for president in
1900, with two delegates at large from
each of the counties of the state ex-
cept the counties of Ramsey, Hennepin
and ST. Louis which are allowed four
delegates at large. There will be more
than a thousand delegates in each of
the conventions.
Informal Discussion Follows.
Late in the afternoon, when the bust
ness of the committee had been COM
pleted, oil motion of F. A. Day, of Fair
mont, ]. G. Pyle, editor of T h G o b e,
was invited to address the committee.
Mr.. Pyle made a brief informal talk,
giving his view Of the political situa-
ton in tie East as he had found 1t on a
recent visit. His remarks were follow
ed by q general discussion of Demo-
cratic principles. Brief addresses were
made by c. D. O'Brien, of ST. Paul, and
Charles F.. Vasaly, of Little Falls. L. A.
Rosing, of Cannon Falls, said he
thought Democratic opinion in the
West differed in some respects from
that in the East. He took the position
that Democrats who had stood the
fighting since 1886 should now control;
that 1t was time for live issues and
not dead ones; that the people demand
men who are true to the principles of
the party. Mr.. Rosing spoke in favor
Of Canadian reciprocity and dwelt on
transportation problems as part of
the platform of the party in the flu
ture.
f. D. Larrabee, of Minneapolis, who
is credited with an ambition to be the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate,
denounced the reciprocity idea as fall
lacy, and declared in favor Of free trade
and direct taxation. Principles were
were more than politics, he said, and
he questioned whether or not success
would be the best thing for the party.
Democratic sentiment in the masses
was not yet properly crystalliZed.
G. d. O'Brien complimented Mr.. Ros-
ing on the Soundness of his reciprocity
ideas, and said that personally he would
like to support ex-President Cleveland
for the presidency. D. H. Evans, of
Tracy, seconded Mr.. Larrabee's posi-

1t is new in America, and millions
