Storage Rate War.

NEW YORK, March S.-The west
bound steerage rate war, predicted re-
Gently because of the establishment by
a German company of new line be-
tween New York and Scandinavian
ports, is now practically in effect, and
a minimum rate of SIS has been an
nounced by the German company. A
further reduction of 81 can be obtained
by passengers willing to take passage
by way of Hamburg. Thus far the rate
maintained by the English companies
has been $27.50. Four companies are
directly interested in the matter, and
sharp retaliation is looked for. Inau-
guration of a steamer service between
New York and Mediterranean ports by
an English company was the original
cause of the trouble.

CRISIS IS REACHED
IN GRAIN RATE VAR
's--.ss4zz4azsps
NORTHWESTERN issues New Tar.
lffand No Settlement Is
Effected.

CHICAGO, March 8.@The Western
grain rate war reached crisis today
when the North Western issued a new
tariff making reductions from Ne
braska points TO Chicago and provid-
ing that the grain may stop in Omaha
or Council Bluffs and be milled in
transit or be handled through the ele-
vators there.
This comedies a grain market to
Omaha, but insures that grain origi-
stopping in Omaha will if it comes
East be carried ,,to.7 Chicago by the
same line. This is necessarily so, as
the new tariff practically leaves the
Great Western nothing for the haul
from Omaha to Chicago. The official
statement of the North Western re-
garding the new tariff is as follows:
1.-The Chicago & North Western has
1eissued- it's tariff applying on grain
from Nebraska, taking effect on March
IL, making its rates to Chicago 3 cents
per 100 pounds above the rates to st.
Louis and to other Mississippi river
points. The minjmum<H rates in its Me-
braska tariff to Chicago are IL cents
on wheat ahdf9 cents on corn.
1.-The tariff provides that the grain
from ali Nebraska stations can be
shipped through Omaha and Council
Bluffs to mill in transit or be handled
through elevators at-the direct rate"
Representatives of the Transmits
souri, lines met here today for the pur-
pose of discussing the gain rate situa-
ton. Nothing resulted from the meet
ing, and it is said that unless some of
the roads make overtures the prevail
ing rate war will be carried on for an
indefinite period.

SLASHING OF SUGAR
RATES CONTINUES
Missouri Pacific Makes Reduction and
Illinois Central Falls in Line.

Slashing Of sugar rates still contin-
ues, the latest reduction having been
made by the Missouri Pacific, which
announces further cut of cents per
100 pounds from New Orleans to Mis-
souri, river points. This makes the rate
20 cents. 1t further announced that on
shipments of $4,000 pounds minimum
weight, when coming from the East,
the rate from the Mississippi river to
Missouri river points will be cents,
where it was formerly % cents. The
rate from ST Louis to Kansas points
will be II cents less than the regular
fifth-class rate, except where lower
tariff is already in effect.
The Illinois Central has followed by
announcing 26-cent rate on sugar from
New Orleans to All Missouri river
points. This is a reduction Of from Z
cents to 10 cents ZOE pounds.
No further reductions have been
made into this territory, the rate now
being cents to ST. Paul.

SALE OF TICKETS FOR
ST. LOUIS FAIR BEGINS
Every Season Billet Must Have Photo

Hospital Cars for Wrecks.

Officials of the railroads having head
quarters in st. Paul are interested in
the announcement that the Pennsylva-
MIA has authorized the construction of
four hospital cars, to be used in cases
of wrecks. The hospital cars will be
stationed at the division terminals and
will be equipped with beds, instru
ments and medical supplies, ready for
use day and night.
"The idea has been talked over in
railroad circles for some time" said an
official yesterday, and it has been gen
orally regarded with approval. With
such cars stationed at division points,
quick relief might be given to injured,
and the expedients ordinarily resorted
to by passengers and physicians who
arrive from the neighboring country,
the only ones possible under the cir
cumstances, and often producing great
hardship and suffering, might be done
away with. Though the cars might not
be used once in a year, they would un-
doubtedly be a valuable addition to the
equipment of every railroad"

Object to Switching Charges.

The Minneapolis millers have re-
quested the railroads handling con-
signments of flour to abolish switching
charges which now mean a revenue
of $15O,O00 a year to the roads. A
conference will be held this week at
which a hearing will be had on the pc
tition of the millers. The switching
charges now made by the roads
amount to $1.50 on each car, and re-
turns of recent years show that an
average of 100000 cars have been NOV
ed to and from the mills. The millers
assert in their petition that the imposi-
ton of the switching charges is I'M
just and ask that that the railroads
handling the flour abolish them.

PART OF ROADBED
TO BE ABANDONED
Great Northern viii Handle
Traffic Over New Mon
tana Cutoff.

AS soon as the Great Northern COM
pletes the construction of its CUTOFF
from Columbia Falls, on the main line
east of Kalispell, to a point on the
Fernie branch north of Jennings, the
present roadbed between Kalispell and
Jennings will be abandoned and the
tracks will probably be. torn up. This
announcement was made yesterday, but
it was said that the change will not be
made till the Industries on the old line
have been taken care of.
The cutoff, though seventeen miles
longer than the present line, will elm
mate many heavy grades and curves
which render the operation of trains
difficult The new line will tap rich
country, which will be, it is believed,
DEVELOPED into a f1ourishing farming
and grazing section. The old line, for
a large part of the way, traverses
rough, mountainous country, and little
of it is inhabited.
The cutoff leaves the main line at
Columbia Falls and will extend across
the country to point on the branch
running from Jennings to Gateway,
which was completed a year and half
ago. That line will be used to carry
the trains to the present main line.
The new line is seventy miles long.
There are no towns on the old line,
but there are a few small logging ana
lumber camps. They have been notified
that the line will be abandoned, and
have prepared to move to another part
of the state. Kalispell will not be af-
fected by the abandonment of the old
line, for a branch from Columbia Falls
will be maintained.
The Great Northern gains by the new
route d richly productive country, and
avoids about 1000 feet of grade. In
addition, the maximum curves will be a
per cent on the new road. This will
enable the heavier trains to make bet
ter time than the trains operated over
the old system.
The new cutoff has been completed
to Whitef1sh lake, and trains are run
ming to that point. The entire line, it is
expected, will be completed to Rexford
by September. Whitefish lake promises
to be the most important point on the
new line. The lake is ten miles in
length and two or three miles in width.
It affords a beautiful summer outing
place, and will probably become a tour
list resort
There is a large amount of govern
ment land that will be tapped by the
new line, and valuable tract of timber
that will be made available.

GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC
COAST LINE FAVORED
Shareholders Ratify Agreement With
Canadian Government.

LONDON, March 8.-The Grand
Trunk railroad shareholders, at meet
ing today, ratified the agreement with
the Canadian government for the con-
struction of the Grand Trunk line to
the Pacific.
The decision was reached only after
a prolonged discussion. The meeting
was packed, and at one stage of the
proceedings the tone was unmistaka-
bly, hostile to embarking in so huge an
enterprise. General Manager Hays,
who had come from Canada specially to
attend the meeting, saved the situa-
ton, and when the final vote was taken
there were only a few oppoents to the
Grand Trunk railroad undertaking to
build a transcontinental road.

Commission Hears Complaints.

The railroad and warehouse commits
sion yesterday heard complaints from
residents of Hamel, on the 500 line, and
Dresbach, on the Milwaukee, who want
better service at those stations. The
agents have been withdrawn at both
points, and custodians take care of the
business. Counsel A. H. Bright, of the
$780, commended that the legislature had
fixed the size of communities which
could demand agents, and that the vol
ume of business transacted through
the station at Hamel was not large
enough to require an agent. E. D.
Sewall, assistant general superintend-
ent-ef the Milwaukee, who appeared in
the Dresbach case, said that the service
demanded for that point was not nec-
essary, in view of the number of in

Canadian Pacific to Build.

MONTREAL, March S.-The Cana
dian Pacific has decided to build nearly
400 miles of track during the coming
summer in the Northwest Territory.
The Pheasant Hill branch will be ex-
tended for 200 miles. Branches each
twenty five miles long will be built
from the Calgary and Edmonton line,
one starting from Wetaskiwin and the
other from La Combe. In addition, the
Arcola branch will be extended to Re-

"Then," said Senator Hoar, "the
voice of the people is of more author
ity than the mandate of the Lord?"
1.-THE mandate of the Lord is what is
done by common consent"
"Then the Lord submits to the PEG
pie whatever He desires to have done,
and if. the people like it they give. their
consent. That is your belief, is it %

ness. "The Lord can't make the peo-

gard to religion business and politics.

obtained from the witness that he
thought Senator Smoot was acquainted
with the general reputation and ac-
copied the report that Mr.. Lyman was
living in polygamous cohabitation with
his plural wives.
Chairman Burrows asked Mr.. Ly-
man in regard to the reorganized
Church of Latter Day Saints at La
moni, Iowa, of which son of Joseph
Smith, the prophet, is the head, and
Mr.. Lyman gave his ideas of the diff
ference between the two organizations.
Denounces 1t Hard.
He was asked If the reorganized
church did not denounce polygamy, and
answered.:
.They denounce 1t so hard that it
almost provokes US to defend it,
Senator Dubois asked if the reorgan-
lied church teaches absolute obedi-
ence to it's leaders, and was informed
by Mr.. Lyman that he understood the
church was not very strenuous in that
regard.
"Now, in regard to consent given
Senator Smoot to become candidate
for senator-suppose President Smith
had refused to give his consent and
smoot had insisted on becoming a
candidate, what would have happened
to him?" asked Senator Dubois.
Mr.. Lyman said Senator Smoot
would have been considered inSubord1-
nate and probably would have been
disciplined, taken to task, reproved or
corrected.
Mr.. Taylor said it had been shown
that one of the religions was composed
of peaceful law abiding citizens, while
the other is a menace to society and
good government and that "in the lat
ter Senator Smoot is so woven into the
organization that we hold he cannot
be extricated without cutting himself
off entirely.
Mr.. Worthington inquired of Mr.. Ly-
man whether Senator Smoot could not
resign his apostleship If he wanted to
do anything which the church forbids
and still remain a Mormon in good
standing.
The witness answered affirmatively.
Mr.. Lyman told the story of an eff
fort on the part of Prophet Joseph
Smith to get rid of one of his high
counselors, who had been chosen by
revelation and the refusal of the peo-
pie to submit to the change. This was
for the purpose of showing that the
will of the people is stronger than the
wish or command of the president of
the church

APOSTLE LYMAN
BLUNT OF SPEECH
=
Next Mormon President Is q
Most Candid Witness In the
smoot Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March, B.
The senate committee today in the
Investigation of the protests against
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, brought
out variety of testimony, of which
the most sensational was that given
by Francis M. Lyman, president of the
twelve apostles of the Mormon church
and the man chosen to be the success
sor of President Smith. His admis-g
sions were similar to those previously
made by Mr.. Smith pertaining to the
church government.
He. is freer of speech than the presi-
dent Of the church and his testimony,
though not materially differing, caused
several of the apostles present to shake
their heads at the witness for the pur :
pose of compelling more discretion in
answering questions. Mr.. Lyman is
angularly built, his face is covered
with bushy red Whiskers and his
speech is blunt. Four witnesses were
on the stand today-Mrs. Kennedy,
her mother, Mrs Matthew's; Charles
Merrill, son of Apostle Merrill, and
Mr. LYMAN

Human or Inspired?
Senator Hoar asked the witness if he
had received a revelation concerning
what he was to testify to on the stand
and whether such a revelation could be
responsible for his change of mind in
regard to the questions asked.
Are your answers here by order Of
the Lord? Are they given in your hui
man or inspired capacity?" the senator
asked.
