WISCONSIN CENTRAL

Chicago, Aug. 14.-By the recent
purchase of large blocks of Wisconsin
Central stock it is now said the owners
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads now own a majority of
the securities, and that important
changes in management will result.
The motive for the purchase is said to
lie in the fact that since the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific pur.
chased the Burlington the volume of
through traffic has increased to such
an extent that it cannot be handled
without other outlets.

that Colfsx coal trade, after the way
the Northern Pacific is treating us on
the Sound?" continued Mr.. Stubbs.
"Do you know that the Northern Pa
cific won't join with us in billing COM
petitive freight for Seattle or Tacoma

RrvISeS philippine TARIFF.
Opinions of congressman changed
BY Visit to Islands.

Manila, Aug. 15.-Sinoe the Taft
party arrived in the Philippines week
ago, the opinions Of the majority of its
members have Undergone a complete
change with regard to the wisdom Of
admitting products of the islands into
the markets Of the United States. 1t
can be stated without fear Of CONTRA
diction that former leaders Of the op-
position to the policy Of reducing the
Dingley tariff on sugar and tobacco
from the Philippines now favor such
reduction.
Representative E. j. Sill, of Con.
necticut, one of the leaders of the
house in opposition to the further re-
duction Of the tariff on tobacco, de-
clares himself in favor Of the free ad'
mission OF cigars and tobacco from the
islands into the United States. Sena.
tor F. T. Dubois, leader Of the opposi-
tion to the Cooper bill in the senate,
has also stated that he will not oppose
free trade, while other members, erst.
while Of the opposition, have con.
WINGED themselves that sugar and to-
bacco from the Philippines will in no
wise menace the like products Of the
United States.
Representative Shirley, of Kentucky,
an American tobacco growing district,
says he will favor the free admission
of island tobacco, being convinced that
cigars from there will not compete to
any appreoia BILE extent with those man.
ufactured in America.
1t can be stated upon no less author
ity than G. h. Grosvenor, Of Ohio,
that the Cooper bill, which was favor.
ably reported upon by the house COM
mittee at the last session Of congress,
will now be amended, providing for
free trade instead of the proposed re-
duction of 25 per cent on the prevailing
Dingley rates.

WASHINGTON BIBLE SOCIETY.
nth Anniversary Of Organization
Celebrated Last Night.

Members and friends of the Washington
Bible Society met In Hamlne NJ. E. Church
last evening to observe the seventy-seventh
anniversary of the organizations estab-
lishment Rev. DIR. Carl G. Doney, pastor
of Hamline, welcomed the assembly in
brief address, in which he said he was
gratified to have such a large non-sectarian
body meet in his church.
The president of the society, Rev. Dr. A
W. Pitzer made an address. He said
the society had greatly honored him in
keeping him its presiding officer for the
past thirty years. His heart has always
been in the work. he said, and he has
missed only two meetings, and then on ac-
count of illness. He emphasized two phases
of the society's work-the translation of the
Bible into foreign tongues and the circula-
ton of 1t.
The main address of the evening was de-
iivered by Rev. DR.. S. T. Phillips of Rich

UNABLE TO CONVICT.
Sergeant Dunnigan Runs Across AL
legged Speakeasy.

Through the sudden appearance on the
scene of Sergeant Dunnigan o. the fourth
precinct station, William Lewis, the ser
geant says, was deprived of 10 cents for
a drink which he passed over to Clarence
Robinson. Both of the parties were locked
up by the sergeant. and a charge of dis
orderly conduct was placed against them,
and they came in the Police Court this
morning to answer to the charge.
Owing to the large number of people
desiring to take steamer rides yesterday
Sergeant Dunnigan started for the water
front in company with officer Cooper. The
sergeant was stopped by resident on
Water street and Officer Cooper went on
down the street. William Lewis had seen
Officer Cooper pass, and thinking that the
coast was clear, he. the police allege,
started a speakeasy with a goodly supply
of whisky in the rear of the American Ice
Company'S wharf. Sergeant Dunnigan fin
ished his business and started down the
street. Before he realized it he saw Lewis
back of what appeared as an improvised
bar. Just as Sergeant Dunnigan approached
Clarence Robinson was receiving drink
of whisky and was holding out a dime for
the owner of the whisky.
The simple addition of Sergeant Dunnigan
to the scene changed the owners desire
for the 10 cents, and he suddenly became
generous with his liquor. The purchaser
had not seen the officer and kept insisting
on paying the money, and being dunn
founded at the sudden show of generosity
of the other. He suddenly locked up and
saw the officer. At once the dime sought
the mans pocket, and several colors ap-
peared on his face.
II guess l will take the money and whis-
ky" said the sergeant, and he took charge
of the establishment. Through the failure
of Lewis to take the money the charge Of
keeping a speakeasy could not be made.
and a charge of disorderly conduct was
placed against both of them.
AS it was not shown that the sergeant
r.
no cursing, Judge Kimball dismissed the
charge Of disorderly conduct.
