Brings About Reduction In
Sleeping Car Charges.

Chicago. Dec. 2.-General reduction
of the rates for upper Pullman berths

cases before the commission was
taken.
The reduction in upper berth rates
offered is 20 per cent where the lower
berth rate exceeds $3.50. Various re-
auctions are announced for the rates
on lower berths in specific instances.
The hearing, at which the promise
of reduction was made, was a rehear-
ing of the petition of George 8. LOT
tus of st. Paul against the Pullman
company, the point at issue being the
upper berth rates between Chicago
and the Pacific coast. Last March the
interstate commerce commission or.
dered a reduction In the rates for both

proving satisfactory to the PLAINTIFF
before the commission no testimony
in the rehearing was heard.
Minimum Rate Is $1.25.
Hereafter the minimum rate for up
per berths will be SLIPS, instead of
$780," said Mr.. Fernald, who is assist.
ant general solicitor of the Pullman
company.
"We have not prepared all our ia
bles establishing the new rates." ex-
planned Mr.. Fernald, but we are work
ing on them as fast as possible.
1--WE decided that although the up
per berths cost more to build, furnish
and maintain than the lower public
discrimination against the uppers re-
CURED a reduction in their price.
Where the lower berth is rated at
$1.50 the upper berth will be SIPS,
and in all instances other than this
the upper berths will cost 80 per cent
of the lower.
mot a rate has been raised by this
new schedule, but We are e~ndeavoring
to adjust all charges to correspond
with the Eastern standard of 6 mills
a mile.
Lower berths from st. Paul and
Minneapolis to Seattle and intermedi
ate Pacific coast points are reduced
from $12 to $11. The rate on upper
berths was made $3.50"

"
Muskrat trapping is assuming an
interesting feature here. There are a
dozen trappers to one rat. and as a
result their interests clash. 1t is a plain
case, in this trapping, of the Survival
of the ~fittest.' The trappers do not
seem to respect the rights of each other.
Some of the boys have rented the sloughs
where the rats hav their houses. out
the other fellows do not regard these
as valid and they trap on the rented
ground. Also several traps have been
stolen Of destroyed. As may be expected
bad feeling is aroused and threats Of
shooting have been freely INDUCED in.
The fact is, that he who traps must
fight for every inch Of his ground.
Meanwhile the rats look on and eniov
the sensation Of being in the limelipht.

previous season of which there is any
record. The loss of life in 1909 was
eighty-seven. in 1898 ~ffty-seven, in
1907 eighty and in 1906 seventy-four.
The number of injured this season,
however. is less than a year ago; only
eighty-one have been hurt this year,
against 104 for the season Of 1909.
1t Is likely the death list this year
will be considerably increased later by
reason of fatal termination in the
cases of many of the injured.

BLOODY BATTLE IN SYRIA
Seven Hundred Druses Reported
Slain by Turks.

Constantinople, Dec. 3.-Seven hun
dred Druses have been slain in battle
with Turkish troops at Hauran, Syria,
south of Damascus, according to dis
patches received here.
Despite the heavy slaughter the
main body of the Druses, estimated to
number 10000, is still holding out and
another fierce encounter is expected.
The present conflict is believed to
be another long chapter of outrages
growing out of religious hatred, that
the Turks have perpetrated on the
Druses, who withdrew from the Mo-
hammedan faith centuries ago.
The Druses are reported %entrenched
In a mountain f~astness that will make
