MAY DELAY CONSTRUCTION
But Extension Of st. Paul Road Will
Not Be Abandoned,

New York, April Plat a meeting
Of the directors of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul the question of
the company's Pacific coast extension
was discussed. According to an in
terest identified with the road the
opinion was about unanimous that the
work of carrying the St. Paul line to
Seattle should not be Abandoned One
of the largest stockholders said, how
ever, that the construction of the road
would be delayed until q reduction in
the cost of material and labor had
been made
When recently seen the president of
the st. Paul company said chances ia

islation.
The Pacific extension from the COM
pany's Western terminus at Glenham,

new MINNESOTA FARE LAW

New York, April 30.-The Tribune
says certain stockholders Of the North
ern Pacific Railway company will, it is
understood, bring a friendly suit
against the officers of the company for
an injunction to restrain them from
accepting for the company the two
cent fare law in Minnesota. AS they
could not bring legal action against
the sovereign state their only alterna-
tive was to bring it against the OFF,
Gals of the company. The latter are
compelled unless restrained by the
courts to comply with the provisions
of the law. Those who are familiar
with this proposed legal action attach
great Importance to it, as if the in
junction is granted it will serve as a
stay to the enforcement of the law as
far as the Northern Pacific is con
cerned for perhaps two years.
The Great Northern company doubt
less will become a party to the pro.
posed suit of the Northern Pacific
stockholders.

CUMMINS FOR ROOSEVELT

cept Another nomination..
Des Moines, Ia, April 26.-In a let
ter addressed to George E. Bowers of
Orange, a., a prominent Republican
editor, Governor Cummins declared
that President Roosevelt should with
draw his statement that he will not
accept denomination. The letter
was written in response to an inquiry
concerning presidential politics and
its important statements follow:
There is great deal being said
and great deal being written with
regard to the candidate for president,
but it is vastly more important that
we succeed in announcing a platform
that will be expressive of our pur-
poses than it is now to determine who
the candidate shall be. Personally,
believe that President Roosevelt's
plain duty is to withdraw his former
statement and to say that under the
demand now made and the evident
state of the public mind he will accept
another nomination if it is rendered to
him with practical unanimity"
