NEW RATE WAR IN PROSPECT
wisconsin Central Demands DITeren-
tiaI Between Chicago and
Twin cities.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-(Specialr-As a re-
suit Of the demand OF the Wisconsin Cen
trail for a differential between Chicago and
the Twin Cities there is danger of rate
war. After several meetings OF the Chi
cago-St Paul lines, the question was left
to a committee, which will make its re-
port September Is, and II is understood to
be adverse to the request.
In that case. it is said, the Wisconsin
Central will make q differential of at least
81, and possibly 81, This view of the case
is taken because w. A. Bradford Jr., presi-
dent, took dlfferential on business be-
tweeH Chicago and Cincinnati when he
completed his new line between these two
cities
1t is understood that the Chicago Great
Western will sell at the same rate as the
Wisconsin Central, although not seeking a
differential. The position Of the so-called
"strong lines in the controversy has not
been stated, but it is likely that they will
meet whatever rate the Wisconsin Central
sees fit to put in.

dressed stranger had a letter Of introduc-

supposed to be president of the Western
Emigrant association. The stranger was

few moments explained why Mr.. Keller
was singled out as the one man of Bone
steel with whom the Western Emigrant
association wished to do business. The
stranger then explained the effect of the
new railroad laws, explained how the anti
pass laws had curtailed the emigration
business, explained why the railroads were
forced to organize emigrant associations,
such as he represented, in order to stimu-
late the emigration business. He then
entered into a contract with Mr. Keller,
making him a salaried employe of the
Western Emigrant association, and then ex-
planned that the said association was simply
the railroad company The object of maxi
ing Mr. Keller an employe Of the associa-
tion was to 'evade the law so that such
wide-awake real estate hustlers as he
(Keller) could be given transportation
without laying the railroad company open
to heavy fines under the anti-pass laws
The stranger then turned over to Mr.. Kel-
Ter 5000 miles Of transportation in the shape
of mileage books; these books were to be
stamped by an official of the company who
the stranger said, would call in a few
days for that purpose. Before closing up
the DEAL however the stranger explained
that 1t was necessary for him to collect
$50 from each of their agents, said $50 to
be paid back to them at the rate of so

signed a receipt for the mileage, but as
