BOW TO RAILROAD LAW.
Lawyers and Officials of Eastern and
Southern Roads End Technical
Study of Measure.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. J., Aug. 90
The conference of the lawyers and Off
Gals representing railroads east of the
Mississippi and south of the New Eng
land states, which has been in session
here five days studying the provisions of
the railroad rate bill, which goes into eff
feet August 20. has adjourned. One of
the points which failed of an agreement
concerned the rating of freight by the
interstate commerce commission in favor
of the shipper. The general difference of
opinion IN this matter left it open, and
the courts probably will be called upon to
settle both the constitutionality of this
section and that relating to placing of
damages for injury to freight on the ini-
t,laI shipper. The anti-pass section of the
law was also left open for settlement by
the railroads individually. There is II
disposition to generally observe the law.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 20.-The lack
of wind is the only condition that now
prevents possible reign of terror from
forest fires on the Mesaba and Vermii-
lion ranges.
The Mesaba is a vertable furnace as
result of the fires that are still spread
ing over the parched surface of ground
and swamps. Millions of dollars worth
of property, towns and mines are in
peril, aud the danger hangs solely upon
the direction and force of the wind
People at various points are "backhr-
ing to prevent the encroachmeut of the
fires upon towns or mining properties,
towns or those about which the brush
and forest still stand in close proximity.
Fear is also felt for many homestead
ers north of the Mesaba range. There
are hundreds of these The Mesaba and

AGED WOMAN Is SLAIN 2
Late Miss Harriet Blinn, Prosperous
Octogenarian, Is Subject for Sensa-
tional Rumor in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. al
Marks of a hypodermic syringe upon the
arms of Miss Harriet Blinn, prosperous
octogenarian, whose disappearance on
July II was mystery, may lead TO the
arrest of two persons, according to the
coroner.
Cab rides with strangers, secret inter-
views with persons whom her relatives
never had seen before, and the peculiar
reticence of the aged woman just prior
to her disappearance have added mys-
tory. 1t was discovered Monday that
the body of Miss Blinn lay in an under
takers for nearly Il month before it was
taken in charge by one of her relatives
and sent to Great Darlington for burial.
Tie coroner has learned that within
few weeks of her death the woman was
to receive a big portion of the money
left by Alonzo Hamlin of Chicago.
A woman is known to have taken Miss
Blinn from the house of relatives and
placed her in the Camden hospital. Lat
er the octogenaran was discharged and
then admitted to st. Mary's hospital in
this city. She was taken to Il local hos
pital in Il closed carriage.
Detectives also have learned that when
Miss Blinn disappeared she had just
made her will, making Il Camden min
lister her executor and her nephew her
principal legatee. Five days after her
disappearance this will was offered for
probate
n cousin and another relative an
nounced their intention of fighting the
will in court They say they will make
sensati onal disclosures when the case
comes to trial.
STERLING, ILL.,, Aug. 21.-The coro-
ner of Stephenson county has refused to
give a verdict as to the cause of the
death of Mrs Jacob Furst. who was found
burnel to crisp in her homn. 1t is
now the belief of the officers that the
woman was murdered and robbed. She
was known to have had large amounts in
her cabin, in which she lived the life
of a recluse. A carriage was seen in
front of her home the evening before her
body was found.

SUGAR WAR CUTS PRICE
EFFORT TO CoI,TRoL THE PACIFIC
COAST TRADE THE CAUSE.
Figures Now so Low That Southerners
Refuse to Sell in the San Fran
cisco Market.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 21.-
After five months competition between
the western sugar refinery and the Cali
fornia and Hawaiian sugar refining COM
pany, the price of sugar has dropped
from $5.15 to $3.50. In New York the
price is $3.50, while at the Missouri riv-
er it is So.
The $4.30 price in the local market
means the ruling figure for all the Pa
cific coast states. This figure is so low
that southern and other coast beet sugar
makers refuse to sell here and are ship
ping all their output to the Missouri
river. Both the local refneries are also
shipping to the Missouri river. Their
fight, however, is to control the Pacific
coast field.
1t is estimated the S5-cent reduction
will affect 150,000,000 pounds and that
there will be a reduction from p to ~
cents per 100 pounds on 35O,OOO,0OO
