CLASH ON RATE REDUCTION.
Winchen Wonders Why Commission
Did Not Make Rates Nothing.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Members of the
Chicago Commercial association and the
railroads may clash on the subject of
freight rates as result of the state
railroad commissions order for a hori-
zontal reduction of twenty per cent in
the distance tariffs.
Apprehending that the roads would
not assume their losses tamely the as
ISOLATION instructed H c. Barlow to
make an investigation with a view to
ascertaining what action the railroads
purpOsed taking. Mr. Barlow has visit
ed several traffic officials, and they all
told him they were in favor of abolish
ing commodity rates in Illinois,
Whether such action would be taken
they were unable to say, as that will
depend on the outcome of a general
meeting to be held soon.
To the traffic men who said they
We're in favor of taking out all COM
modify rates Mr.. BalFlopS said that if
this were done the Chicago Commercial
association might see fit to start a. move
ment for increased taxation of railway
property in Illinois. Railroad men,
however, say they do not fear such an
outcome.
1T seems to me to be sound logic
that in a state where there is a commits
sion clOther with the power to fix maxi
mum rates the railroads should not
charge dIly less L1kdI the maximum SO
fixed" said G. J. Grammer, vice presi-
dent of the New York Central lines
west OF Buffalo. "A large number of
traffic men are in favor of pursuing this
policy, but whether it will be done is
another question
Il don't see why the commission did
not make the rates nothing" declared
B. L. Winchen, president of the Rock
Island. There would have been about
equal sense and justice in their so do
ing
George H. Crosby. freight traffic man
ager of the Burlington, said: The or
der of the commission will fall very
heavily on the Burlington which is a
strong Illinois road. It will cut at least
81 ,00O, 900 annually from our revenues.
The company will. therefore, be obliged
either to cut wages, recOUp by charging
only the commissions tariffs or quit
the dividends. 7 don't think we viii
quit paying dividends if we feel as we
do now about the matter.

THOUGHT TT MEANT A DEAL.
Fight Fans Excited by seeing Fftz and
O'Brfen Eating Together.


San Francisco, Dec. 1.-THE spectacle
of FitsimmOns and O'Brien eating at
the same table in a popular restaurant
the other evening caused eyes to bulge
and tongues to wag. O'Brien subse-
quently explained the incident without
embarrassment, however.
It appears that C'Brien, who is still
suffering from a sore chin, came into
town to see his doctor. Fitz came across
the bay to attend the performance of
THE College Widow at the Columbia
theater, and the rival fighters met in
the grub emporium. O'Brien, who was
seated when F'itz entered, beckoned the
Cornishman to his table, and there
they sat and piled their knives and
forks and tried to refrain from talking
shop. By the time Fitz was ready to
go to the theater several reporters had
gathered around.
Nothing to it but a casual meeting
and a little sizing up said O'Brien,
when Fitz had departed.
What were the results of your cOgt-
tations?' Jack was asked.
THE more I see of him the more con-
fident I am that I can defeat him..
When asked for his side of it, Fitz
said: Il Just thought I'd be nice to
Jack while have the chance. III have
to treat him pretty roughly when 1 get
him into the ring.

of a pugilistic engagement is looming

San Francisco, Cal. Dec 12.-That Bob

yesterday by the fact that Bob raised the

that he did not believe them, he raised

John L. said the other day:
My greatest fight, Ell? Well, to n
man that has been through as many
battles under as many different con-
ditions as I have, that is rather hard
thing to decide. I have knocked out
143 ones. Some wore down and beat
until their seconds threw up the
sponge. some stood it well enough and
gave back enough to get draw, and
one man only beat me. He beat me
because was not in condition and he
would not stand up to me.
But my greatest fight-Mitchell
fought me a great fight to a draw.
My fight with Paddy Ryan was a great
one while it lasted and Corbett beat
me, wore me down, though he did not
hurt me.
but I think the greatest fight of
my ring career was that fight in Rich
burg, Miss. when 1 beat Jake Kilrain
in IS rounds. The battle was fought
on July 8, 1889.
"Kilrain did not stand up and fight
like Mitchell and Ryan, but the length
of the fight and the constant wrestling
made it a hard, hard battle. So I will
take that up as the greatest fight of
my career for those reasons and be-
cause L Won out in the end.
after the match with Kilrafn was
made and some weeks ahead of the
date set I went into training at Bel

Old Time Training.
ABOUT 1890 o'clock I took the road
under heavy sweaters and did. six
miles out and six miles back, walk and
run. There is the thing to get man

muscles. Run about hundred yards
and walk about a hundred or vary the
distances. When I got back to the

blankets until the perspiration began
to flow freely again. Then another

thing I wanted, of course barring

the backbone of the American turf.
He stood side by side with August
Belmont, D. D. Withers Pierre and
George Lorillard, the elder Morris
and several more of that well known
calibre and fought for the future Of
the turf. Captain Brown went to the

to keep horsemen who were in need

time should come when they could
race their horses without any viola
