RATE WAR Is ON.
Cheap Freights and Passage for a
Time

BERLIN, August pa rate war involy-
ing cabin passages has broken out between
the Cunard and the German lines in the
North Atlantic service. The Cunard Line
having offered a minimum first cabin pas
sage from Hamburg to New York for
$3.50, including free ticket to Liverpool
and expenses there, the Hamburg-American
Line announces a reduction of the rates
from $3.50 to $l0I.5O and the North German
Lloyd Line reduction from $3.50 to S117.5O
This was brought about after prolonged
negotiations on the part of the German
lines with the Cunard Line for the purpose
of reaching an agreement to maintain COM
mon rates.
The German lines are becoming involved
In rate wars In various directions. The
Hamburg American Lines new connection
between New York and Baltic ports is
blow at the Russian lines, which have an
swered with a further reduction of the
steerage rate to New YORK.
The German Lines found it impossible to
continue to draw Russian emigrants by the
rail route from the Russian frontier to
Hamburg and Bremen, because they pre-
ferred embarking at home ports, Riga and
Libau This necessitated bidding for emf
grants at Baltic ports. The view prevails
at Hamburg and Bremen that the Russian
lines Will prove unable to keep up the fight
for any length of time and will offer to
compromise before many months have
elapsed
Decentralization also prevails in the freight
business to Brazil and other parts of South
America, caused by a cut from 1878 to 49, IS
per ton by the English shipping firm Of
Lamport & Holt. The latter went into the
transatlantic business owing to the en-
trance of the Hamburg-South American
Steamship Company and the Hamburg
American Line into the trade between Bra
I'll and New York, competing with Lamport
& Holt and the Brazilian Lloyd. The Ger
man lines have been hard hit by the big
reduction made by the Lamport & Holt
Line. They say single cargo of coffee
must now be carried $4,000 cheaper.

Robert E. Bundy has begun a quo war
ranto action In the circuit court Of Pepin
county to remove Frank L. Taylor sheriff
Of the county, from office.

again in 1863. The complaint states that
the defendant was a soldier in the Goth

that the standing of the deserter has never
