est breweries in this city, the John
Kress Co, has been placed in a re-
ceiver's hands, with estimated liabili-
ties of $4,000 and assets of about
100000. 1t was stated by the petit
TONERS that the company is short of
ready money and cannot meet its OBJ
LEGATIONS, owing to general dullness of
business and inability to make collec-

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Great Interest in Boston Hearst Fol.
lovers Claim Much.

Boston, April 26.-On account Of the
opposing claims as to the probable re-
suit, there was great interest through
out the state to-day In the outcome of
the democratic conventions to be held
in the fourteen congressional districts
of the commonwealth, each to elect
two delegates to the democratic nation
al convention. Ten Of these conven-
lions were to be called to order in the
afternoon, while the remainder, those
in the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh
districts the so-called Boston districts,
were arranged for the evening. The
friends of Richard Olney of Boston,
who were in control at the democratic
state convention here last week, claim
that whatever the outcome of the dis
trict convention might be, the dele
gates chosen must vote for Mr. Olney
at st Louis for the presidential nomina-
ton, inasmuch as the state convention
passed resolutions making this -obliga-
tory
On the other hand the advocates of
William r. Hearst, led by George Fred
Williams of Dedham, claim that the
action Of the state convention is bind
ing in no way upon the district con-
ventions. The Hearst men have pre-
dicted that majority of their dele
gates will be elected to-day. The
friends of Mr. Olney make similar
claim.

This habit is universal and chronic and

RAILROADS.
TO CUT INTO G. N. FIELD
CANADIAN PACIFIC UNDERSTOOD
TO HAVE IT'S EYES ON EAST
ERN WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

The Great Northern system is to
have new rival in it's washington
state territory, and it's presence there
would seem to indicate that the Cana
dian Pacific means to wage sharper
fight than heretofore in competition
with James j. Hills road.
D. G. Corbin, the man who built the
Spokane & Northern, which the Great
Northern subsequently bought, has
been in Montreal in conference with
the Canadian Pacific officials, 1t seems.
with regard to building rival for the
Spokane & Northern 1t Is under
stood that the Central Pacific railroad
intends commencing operations to
build a line from Yahk on the Crows
Nest line and running in a southwest
erly direction thru the corner of Idaho
into the state of Washington. In this
way the new line would be brought
into direct competition with the old
Spokane & Northern now operated by
the Great Northern and in addition it
would tap large and rich country.
Senator Turner, who will be re-
membered as jurist Of repute for the
United States in the Alaskan boun-
dairy arbitration, will be the general
counsel for the road. Mr.. Corbin will
be the prime mover in the matter.
He will obtain the charter from the
state of Washington and the road will
be constructed by him. The idea SO
far as it is completed points to Mr.
Corbin building the line from Yahk to
Spokane, and then turning it over to
the Canadian Pacific railway. Mr..
Corbin does not deny 1t.

ITS OWN AGENCY
Lackawanna Road Opens Separate office
In MINNEAPOLIS,

The Lackawanna railroad, which has
heretofore been represented in Minneap-
oils only thru the agency Of the fast
freight lines, has established commercial
freight agency Of it's own. Offices have
been taken at 924 Guaranty building and
Edward H. Eden. commercial agent and
D. A. Kyle, contracting agent, are in
charge. This means that the Lackawanna
will become more Of factor in the local
freight situation and that greater va
riety of lines will be used in the inter
change of business. In announcing its
new plan for Minneapolis, the Lackawan-
ma lists fast freight arrangements with
these connecting lines: Nickel Plate
Grand Trunk, Wabash & Lackawanna
Dispatch, Lake Shore. Michigan Central
Pere Marquette, Ann Arbor, Grand Trunk
Crosby line. Lake and rail connections are
the Lackawanna Transportation company,
Iackawanna Green Bay line, Mutual
Transit company and the 500 line.
Arrangements for Minneapolis were
made by w. N. Babcock, Of Chicago gem
eral western freight agent, who was in
the city yesterday. W. Fl. Truesdale, presf-
dent Of the Lackawanna and a former
resident of Minneapolis, was instrumental

LAKE TARIFFS CANCELLED
Eastern Roads Take Radical Step in
Self-PrOtectiOn,

New York, May 6.-Owing to the
inability Of the freight-carrying lines
on the Great Lakes to reach an agree
ment with their masters and pilots,
the New York Central, Pennsylvania,
Erie, Baltimore & Ohio and Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad
companies have announced they will
no longer accept rail and lake freight
at eastern points and have cancelled all
tariffs in this section.
This action was the result Of a
meeting of the representatives Of those
roads to consider the best method of
protecting their interests. The agree
ment was not limited to any definite
period, but it Is understood will be
effective until conditions on the lakes
warrant a change.

before, deputation from the board

concern, was not patriotic nor for the
