THE MANITOBA'S DEAL.
Why It Advanced Its Rates Without
Telling The Northwestern Traffic
Association. ■
Commissioner Carman of the Pool Lines
Issues a Circular Withdrawing the
Canadian Bates.
Transcontinental Pool Prolonged and
a Resolution Passed for
Settlement.
President "Wright of the Freeport &
St. Paul Says There is Room for
Another Line.
Tlie New Combination.
The announcement yesterday morning of
the differences between the Northwestern
Traffic association lines and the Manitoba
road for the latter forming an alliance with
the Canadian Pacific caused considerable !
talk in railway circles. Before the Cana
dian Pacific was able to do through business j
from Montreal and Toronto and other j
Eastern Canadian cities to Manitoba busi
ness destined to the latter point passed
through the United States, and fur- I
nished a large traffic to the j
American lines. But when the Canadian
Pacific opened up its line, doing business '
by the lakes to Port Author, and via rail
from there to Winnipeg and other Manitoba i
points, most of the Canadian business
went that way, and it then became a war
between the Canadian Pacific and the
Grand Trunk and the American lines.
Hates at different times were cut to un
profitable figures, but as the Canadian Pa
cific had only itself to divide the revenue
for the haul of the traffic, it could, there
fore, compete successfully against its con
temporaries.
As soon as certain American lines found
out that they could not do any of the Cana
dian business without carrying at an actual
loss they refused to join in the competi
tion, or rather refused to cany business be
low a certain figure. The Manitoba road
was at all times anxious to meet the rates
quoted by the Canadian Pacific, but when j
the lines in the Northwestern Traffic asso- j
ciation would only carry traffic at a figure
from Chicago to St. Paul which was little
loss than that charged by the Canadian
Pacific for its total haul, the
Manitoba and Grand trunk roads
could not carry their part of the way i
without some remuneration, and the busi- i
(ness was allowed to
sill' THROUGH THEIR ITAXD.
The Northern Traffic association lines had
agents tit different points to secure the busi
ness for the transit, and they withdrew
them, claiming to the Manitoba road that it
did not pay. Since that time very little
business has come this way which was des
tined to Manitoba. What did was machin
ery and agricultural implements which j
could not be shipped any other way than by I
all rail.
On Oct. 1 the Cauadian Pacific will
open its all rail route for business, and
even this agricultural business will find its
j way over the Canadian Pacific. In view of
this fact and the fact that the Northwestern
Traffic association lines declared at differ
. ent times that the business was not worth
fighting for the Manitoba road took means
to secure a more intimate connection with
the Canadian Pacific so that at least rates
would be maintained. The Canadian Pa
cific and Manitoba roads quoted their
rates the same from Port Arthur to
Winnipeg as from St. Paul to Winnipeg,
but when the American lines were crowding
the Canadian Pacific in their competition
the latter line
CUT ITS TARIFF RATES
from Port Arthur to Winnipeg. The Man
itoba and Canadian Pacific road have now
agreed to maintain rates between these
points, and moreover the rate from Duluth
to Winnipeg will be the same. Considerable
business destined to Winnipeg origin
ates at Chicago, and the Cana
dian Pacific has agents stationed
there who secure practically all
of the business and send it by boat to Port
Arthur. The boat lines, so to speak, stand
in with tlie Canadian Pacific, and the bus
iness is transported at a comparatively low
rate. The Northwestern traffic lines have
never tumbled to this, and have all along
allowed business to slip right from under
their nose at Chicago. By having the same
rate from Duluth and Port Arthur to Win
nipeg, the route via Duluth will stand as
fair a show as the route via Port Arthur
will of securing a part of the traffic.
The position the Manitoba takes is that
the Northwestern Traffic association lines
did not stand by it, and did not make any
efforts to secure any of the business. The
Manitoba was pat to considerable incon
venience, too, on account of the Canadian I
Pacific refusing to accept any business from
it hour the breaking of bulk near the
boundary line, which entailed considerable
expense and a delay in the delivery of
freight which was annoying to the shippers
and receivers.
THIS TROUBLE WAS REMOVED
when these two companies made the
agreement which goes into effect Sep.
15, and which agreement the Northwestern
traffic lines are so incensed over. To re
taliate in a measure, or so far as they can,
the association lines instructed the com
missioner, Geo. L. Carman, to issue the
following circular:
Taking effect Sept. 15, 1885, the rates
named in tariff In. W. No. 7, April 1, 1885, and
in special billing rates NO9. N. W. 85, April
2, 132, April 6, 151, Juno 20, ami 176 Sept.
8, quoting rates on freight destined to or
Doming from points in Manitoba
Btid Northwest territories; also Canadian
classification dated 1 April 1, 1885; also ar
rangement lor paying bonding charges, will
bo canceled, Until further advised from
this office, all business carried by lines in this
association on and alter Sept 15, 1885, will be
pubjoct to rates and regulations named in
tariff No. N. W. 10, in effect April 13, 1885.
This circular will have no evil effect,
however, as the rates in effect are practi
cally a discrimination against Winnipeg
and in favor of St. Paul. By the present j
tariff rates are much lower to Winnipeg
from Chicago than they are the other way.
For instance, if the rate on a certain ar
ticle from Chicago to Winnipeg was 15
rents the rate from Winnipeg to Chicago
would be is cents. Therefore, with the
withdrawal of the rates and classifications
of the association on Canadian business the
Manitoba road is really favored and the
traffic lines are not hurt.
managers' Meeting Ended.
The last meeting of the general mana
gers of the Transcontinental lines was held
in the Evan yesterday. The subject of a
settlement for the first six months of the
year on a basis of the old award was re
sumed. A motion was made to refer the
question at issue to the presidents, but was
Defeated. Another motion was then made
to have a balance sheet made which
would show the amount of business
done by each line for the six months from
Jan. d, but this was opposed and defeated
by a majority vote. A motion then pre
vailed that each line should make a state
ment of the amount due it from the Southern
Pacific for the six months named, and draw
r>n that road for such amount. Immediately '
on the adoption of this resolution Mr. Stubbs
notified the representatives of each
line not to make such drafts.
Baying they would not be honored
A settlement was made for the bnsiness of
the months of July, August and Septem
ber, the roads agreeing that the settlement
for those months should be based on the
earnings of the three preceding months. it
was also agreed that the pool be continued '
after Sept SO, and that to withdraw from
the association thirty days' notice would
have to be given", Mr. Si abbs, traffic man- i
ager of the Central Pacific, was asked what
his road Intended doing in the matter.
but he would not give any
definite answer. He said his road had as
yet no intention of giving notice of with-1
drawal from the pool, as the only trouble
was the settlement of the business for the
first -ix months of this year under the old
pool agreement. The general freight agents
held a session in the afternoon, but noth
ing more than a modification of the tariff
and a few changes in classification was
effected. The general passenger agents will !
meet at 9 o'clock this morning:
PASSENGER AFFAIRS.
There is some talk now that at the meet-1
ing of the general passenger agents of the j
Transcontinental lines, there will be some
more difficult matters to settle than the un
air use of emigrant tickets. It is claimed
that the Southern Pacific by its Sunset
route, has been making extremely low rates
on first-class passenger business. The rate
on the agreed tariff is 896.65 from New
Yerk to San Francisco, and it is
claimed that the Southern Pacific has been
allowing itself a differential because of its
port water route and selling at times as ldw
as $75. This is very unfair to the other se
ries, which have been adhering to the
tariff, and they have thereby lost a large
amount of legitimate business. An effort
will be made by several agents to reduce
the first-class rate, and this will form a
great part of to-day's proceedings.
Freeport A. St. rani.
W. O. Wright, president of the Chicago,
Freeport & St. Paul road, has addressed the
following letter to the Boston Transcript, in
reply to some criticisms recently appearing
in its financial columns:
Our attention has been called to an article
which appeared in a recent number of your
paper relative to the line of railway pro
posed to be built by this company, in which
i you ask: "Is there not danger, that the
: troubles which have destroyed such a vast
j amount of railway property east of Chicago
i will be transferred to the great railway sys
j terns of Chicago?"
Replying thereto for ourselves, we wish
to say that the situation as far as the Chi
j cago, Freeport & St. Paul is concerned is
not at all identical with the situation at the
i East. Thorethe Nickel-Plate and West
I Shore roads paralleled lines which were in
j sight of them almost their entire length,
• through a country'which had its resources
fully developed; and had an abundance of
railway facilities. * With us things are re
versed. By looking at a map of western
Wisconsin you will find that between the
Chicago & North western's St. Paul line and
the Mississippi river is a vast terri
tory which, owing to Its al
most entire lack of railway trans
portation, is comparatively undeveloped,—
a territory rich in all which tends toward
prosperity, but lacking the facilities for
marketing the product of toil; a territory
where, in certain sections, §20 per acre Is
paid for clearing off the timber and burning
j it, because of the enormous expense of
marketing it. Our line cuts this territory
in twain, and keeps about the same dis
j tance from the river for nearly three hun
dred miles. We conservatively estimate
that the local traffic alone of our line from
Freeport, 111., to St. Paul, which will be
long to us and will legitimately come to us,
will be the surplus product from over ten
thousand square miles of territory. Add
j to this our proportion of the through traffic,
and it does seem that a line of road, many
of whose stations will be twenty miles re
moved from the nearest railway, and built
when the price of everything which enters
into the construction of a railway is lower
than ever before known in the history of
railway building, should be a paying invest
ment to its projectors, and of substantial
benefit to the communities which it aims to
serve. We can not see where the construc
| tion of a.line of railway along the east bank
of the river can in the least affect us, as
such a line, with the river on one side of it
and mountain bluffs on the other, must of
necessity do little else than through ttailic.
Tho Wisconsin Central.
Special to the Globe.
Milwaukee, Sept. 11.— is understood
that the Wisconsin Central is engaged in
securing the right of way from this city to
Waukesha for a spur to their main line.
This rumor is, however, denied at the gen
eral office of the road. Immediately after
the announcement that the Central would
build from Schliessingerville to Chicago ap
plication was made to the St. Paul road
for back facilities from Schleisingerville
to Milwaukee for St. Paul and other busi
ness. The present contract is held by St.
Paul people to not cover through business,
hence the necessity for a new contract. A
reply was made to the applications asking
for a specific statement of track facilities
required. At a later conference it was un
derstood that such a statement would be
forthcoming. To the present time, how
ever, nothing has been received, and it is
doubtful if a satisfactory arrangement can
be made. • '

The Yackee Yacht Ahead.
New York, Sept. 11.—To-day's yacht
race has proved another flat failure for lack
of wind and the delay in getting the yachts
started. A large number of steamboats,
steam yachts and sailing craft accompanied
the contestants over the course to the outer
mark, where the Puritan arrived at 5:37,
the Genesta being then nearly two miles to
the leeward of it.
"Where is the Jonah, here or on the
Genesta?" asked Mr. Tain of the regatta
committee of Sir Richard Sutton at 9 o'clock
to-night, after letting go the Genesta
to tow line in the Horseshoe.
She had been rowed in from
sea after the third unsuccessful attempt to
sail the first race in the series for the Amer
ica's cup. '-I am sure I don't know," re
plied Sir Richard, despondently. "I sup
pose we must try again." If not for the
delay in putting the crews and officers on
the yachts from the judges' boat, many
think the race might have been sailed to
day, within the time limit of seveu hours.
The early morning sky gave every promise
of a good breeze for the contest and a superb
yachting day for all. Hundreds of
people were early astir and flocking to the
steamboat docks, each with high hopes for
the success of their favorite boat. A larger
number of yachtsmen and their friends than
usual left Pier 3, East river, on the com
mittee boat Luckenbach, and
ALL WERE CERTAIN
that the race would be made in seven hours.
Many wagers were made on the result of
the contest on the way down the bay. The
Puritan was standing out through "the nar
rows under mainsail and jib -at
9 o'clock, when the judges' boat,
having on board Messrs. Tarns, Schuyler
and Stebbins arrived at Tomkinville, Staten
Island. The Genesta also was under
weight heading for the narrows tinder jib.
Her white-jacketed crew were soon aloft in
the rigging, and the cutter's main sail was
hoisted in a few minutes.
The easterly winds which prevailed yes
terday left a heavy ground swell, which
rolled in on the bur and the west bank,
making itself felt as the yachts under sail
made their way through the chauuel to the
Scotland light ship, the starting point.
The Geuesta's new bowsprit was ad
mired by the yachtinen, while Puritan's
mainsail, which had been cleverly patched,
6ho\ved no difference in its setting. By
10:30 the steamers Grand Republic, Colum
bia, Cytoius and the Empire State, Elm City,
and steam yachts Electra, Wanda and over
a score of sailing yachts, Including Ben
Butler America, was assembled near the
light. The wind was blowing a fresh
breeze from the eastward and the tide was
■about one-quarter ebb, when the prepara
tory
SIGNAL WAS GIVES
at 11:30, followed by the one to start at
11:35. Tho judges' boat Jay with her head
to the northward, one-eighth of a mile
from the Scotland lightships, and the course
was east by north, twenty miles to the
windward and return. The Puritan lay
hove when the signal was given, while the
Geuesta lay near the imaginary line ready
to slip over in a moment by excellent man
agement. Capt. Crocker sent the Puritan
across the line first m handsome shape
forty-one seconds after the whistle was
blown, the Genesta following five seconds
later and to the leeward about 200 yards.
The sea was quite heavy during the first
hour of the race, and the Genesta showed
her good weatheriy qualities to advantage
by running away from t lje white sloop. Vt
Her first tack was made at 12:51, when
she was apparently one-half mile ahead of
the Puritan and heading northeast by east
fpr Rockaway beach. She only crossed the
Puritan's bow by about three lengths, and
immediately went about again at 12:44.
The Puritan kept on the starboard tack un
til 1:10, when she came about with the
Genesta under her lee. The wind falling
light soon alter, she began to steadily
increase her lead on the Genesta, and
when at 11:18 she set her" sprit topsail and
the Genesta set her clew topsail the Boston
boat had a good lead. After a long stretch
to the starboard the Puritan tacked again
at 3:10, r Genesta following suit live minutes
later. The boats carried the same sail,
mainsail, club topsail, forestay sail and jib.
Geuesta took in her bottom forestay sail
and set a smaller one while on this tack.
Puritan made
A SnORT STRETCH
on the port tack at 4:10, going about again
at 4:20. At this time the stake boat was
three miles to windward and was just visible,
but the wind being light and the swells still
quite heavy, there was but little chance for
the yachts to finish. As the Genesta, her
big club topsail at 4:50 and went about to
port, the Puritan had been slowly but
surely 'eating" her way to the windward
of her antagonist, and was now a good mile
ahead of her. At 5:15 both went about
again, while over one hundred crafts of all
sizes patiently awaited the coming of the
racers at the outermark. Puritan tacked
for it at 5:23, when Genesta was yet nearly
two miles to the leeward, with not wind
enough to fill her sails. The Boston
boat rounded the mark at 5:37:50, while a
chorus of steam whistles from the
flotilla of steamers greeted her. A moment
later her spinnaker was broken out to part
making a beautiful picture a.>> .she slipped
away over the now almost glossy surface
of the undulating swells toward the bril
liant sunset sky in the west. The commit
tee finding that it was impossible to sail the
race in seven hours took the Genesta in i
tow while the tug Scandinavian was sent i
to bring the pirate into the Horseshoe. The I
yachts are to be started at 10:30 to-morrow
morning. The indications to-night are that
the weather will continue light to-morrow.
Pnddr Ryan Disgusted.
Special to the Globe.
. New York, Sept. 11.—Paddy Ryan re
turned from Reading to-day. He was
wrath when he learned that Sulli
van would not fight him on the 2Gth. "It's
only an excuse and he don't want to fight,"
Paddy said about Sullivan's contract with a
minstrel company. A friend of Sullivan
said: "Sullivan is bound by a contract
which he will not break, even to accommo
date Ryan. Sullivan never promised to
meet him on that date. Jere Dann an
nounced it. supposing Sullivan could be on
hand at that time." Ryan says he is very
anxious to meet' Sullivan, as per agree
ment, to spar on their merits to !
a finish. "Sullivan," said Ryan, "has
never wanted to give me another chance >
after our tight in Mississippi City. 1 was I
in no condition to fieht that day, and never ''■
ought to have entered the ring. Sick as I
was, yet it took him nine rounds, with bare
knuckles, to whip me. and he in . the best
condition,' better than ever before or since. i
When we met again at Madison Square*
garden he had to have assurance
from. his friends that he would
have the best of it. Of course the I
public looked upon him as invincible, and
anything I might say would be considered
mere brag. Having confidence in myself I i
awaited anxiously the hour when I. could
convince the world without a word. Every
body saw that 1 bested him from the start
and would have beaten him then and there
had we been allowed to continue. Of '
course we all know that he is a fast and
FURIOUS FIGHTER
when he has the best of it. Sullivan would
not stand the "'gaff."; He has never been
stung and his heart will fail him if he does
not rush his opponent in the firsc three
rounds, for if he does not succeed in that
time he will not at all and will not continue
the battle on even terms. He knows this
as well as you or I do, and when he wanted
the time extended from the 15th to tiia
26th he well knew that the minstrel
party would enjoin him through the courts.
There Is no reason yet why ho does not
consent to meet me on the l»th and avoid
an injunction. He Is as unprincipled and
as untruthful as he Is cowardly. Ho al
lowed me to go In training at great expense
and loss of time and allowed
Mr. Dunn to expend a large sum
of money In preliminary preparations for
this meeting, when from the first he never
intended to moot mo. He sworo that he
would not disappoint Mr. Dunn and he has
broken his word. I can whip him to a
moral certainty, and will fight him any day.
Our meeting at Hoboken was to have been
a sparring match, with gloves, and he is
afraid to meet mo, even at that, for he knows
1 can best him. He is afraid to follow his
calling of pugilist, and wants to live by
exhibiting himselWn a negro minstrel show
or dime museum. I shall give him a rea
sonable time to reconsider his conduct, and
if he falls to come to time 1 shall declare
myself champion of America, and bo pre
pared to defend the title against all comers.'

Up Anionsr the Clouds.
The Providence Bulletin tells how a
daring man is trying to take down the
weather-vane of a church in that city and
regild the ball: "Two ladders were lashed
together, which reached from the roof of
the church to the small windows above the
belfry. The painter, with a rope around
his waist, mounted the ladder and soon
gained a foothold upon the belfry tower.
A lightning rod runs to the end of the
steeple aud is fastened at intervals of about
three feet. The man grasped the rope and
began to climb up the steeple, step by step,
the rope dangling behind him. The steeple
narrows toward the top, and near the sum
mit the lightning rod is so close that it is of
little use. to the climber, The painter had
with him a large screw eye, and reaching
up as far as he could, screwed it into the
steeple, and drawing himself up by its aid
fastened and rigged his rope. He after
ward, sitting astride the gilt ball, lashed a
stud with a block and rope on the end of the
steeple, so that it towered several feet above
the vane.
"He has been up every day this week,
attempting to get the vane out, but the
wind seems to blow a gale up there and the
work is abandoned for the present. It Is
the intention to rig up a chair, and, com
mencing at the top.paint around the steeple,
lowering and turning himself as he goes.
He does not seem to think he is doing an
extraordinary thing, and from his seat l'Jl
feet above the ground, probably takes an
artist's delight in the scene beneath him,
and looks down with scorn supreme upon
the timid creatures below who have
watched his ascent • and labors on his perch
with bated breath and fast-beating hearts."
What Kudo Her Weary.
"What nonsense it is for novelists or
anybody else to describe the 'American
girl' as though she were a distinct, invari
able person," writes a correspondent of the
Chicago Herald. ' "There were hundreds of
American girls at this ball, very bright and
lovely in the aggregate, but no two alike in
body or mind. The similarity began and
ended with certain current usages of de
portment. The individuality was far more
notable. Frivolous? Generally. Slangy?
Frequently. Vulgar? Rarely. Beauti
ful? Yes, to a remarkable degree. Com
ical? Very often, indeed. For instance,
the weary look in the face of one belle
struck me as pitiful. She sat so pensively
distraught, so sweetly weak, that I asked a
mutual friend what was the matter with
her.
"She has just become affianced," was
the reply.
"And is that so exhausting?" I inquired.
"Yes. under some circumstances," ex
plained my expert informant. "You see,
she is not rich, and it was essential that she
Should get a wealthy husband. The right
man. fell in her way six mouths ago. Now,
you are a fisherman, I believe: you appre
ciate the metal and physical strain incident
to landing a twenty-pound fish with twenty
ounce tackle, and if you will try to ! imag
ine the excitement — doubts, fears,
hopes and other emotions —of six minutes
of fishing for a valued salmon prolonged
into six months of delicate angling for a
millionaire, then you can possibly appre
ciate the collapse of this girl after landing
her prize. She has come to the Branch to
recuperate."
It must Have Been Very Funny.
Kansas City Times. ,
The Rev. J. Hyatt Smith knows more
stories about more people than ten average
citizens. Among them he relates, this:
When I was living with my brother in Buf
falo. Mark Twain occupied a cottage across
the street. We didn't see very much of
him, but one morning as we were enjoying
our cigars on the veranda after breakfast
we saw Mark come in his door in his dress
ing-gown and slippers and look over at us.
He stood at his door and smoked for a
minute, as if making up his mind about
something, and at last opened his gate and
came lounging across the street. There
was an unoccupied rocking chair on the
veranda, and when my brother offered It to
him he dropped ilito it with a sigh of re
lief. He smoked for a few moments and
said:
"Nice morning."
"Yes, very pleasant."
"Shouldn't wonder if we had rain by and
by."
"Well, we could stand a little."
"This is ?. nice house you have here?"
"Yes, we rather like it." ■•• ':"-'■>■: j
"How's your family?"
"Quite well—and yours?"
"Oh. we're all comfortable."
There was another impressive silence,
and finally Mark Twain crossed his legs,
blew a puff of smoke into the air, and in his
lazy drawl remarked: "I suppose you're a
little surprised to see me over here .so early.
Fact is, 1 haven't been so neighborly, per
haps, as 1 ought to be. We must mend i
that state of things. But this morning I
came over because I thought you might be
interested in knowing that your roof is on
lire. It struck me that it would be a good |
idea if—"
But at the mention of fire the whole fam
ily dusted up stairs, trailing language all
the way up. When we had mit th; fire
out and had returned to the veranda, Mark
wasn't there.

"Did you know Miss Birdie Mcllenipen,
who was in Austin last winter, and the
guest of Col. Boomerang?" asked one Aus
tin society youth of another.
"I've seen her, but was not personally
acquainted with her."
"Well, she was a curious kind of a fe- !
male. She had such peculiar ideas. For
instance, she seemed to think that balls
and parties were given in order that ladies I
might exhibit their shoulders to the pub
lic."
"Did she say that?"
"No, she didn't say that precisely, but
one evening she appeared at a party and I
she kept her shawl on in the room, although I
it was very warm. I offered to remove her
shawl, but she blushed, and said she
couldn't think of it for a moment, because
she didn't have a low-necked dress on. It
hadn't come back from the wash, so she
had to wear a high-necked dress that came
up to her throat."

It takes all kinds of men to make up the world, and ali
kinds of boys, too, for that matter. The illustration de
picts an every day occurrence at any clothing store. The
matured judgment of the parent is ignored, and the self
willed boy remains obstinate. Nine dollars isn't very mud
to pay for an All-Wool Winter Suit for a manjet THE BOS'
TON, St Paul, can show several lines of neat all-wool
suits for men at that price, and large numbers of men's
all-wool winter suits for ten dollars; not ugly patterns
and poorly-made suits, either, but just as pretty and gen
teel a looking suit, and just as well made a suit as any
man need wear. Now, when a man can buy as good a suit
at THE BOSTON, St. Paul, for nine or ten dollars, what
reason is there in paying twelve or fifteen dollars for the
same kind of a suit elsewhere ? Strangers in the city who
go home without looking at THE BOSTON'S, St. Paul,
stock of fine ready-made Winter Clothing are working
against their own interest. Out-of-town cusi omers unable
to come to St. Paul can have Suits or Overcoats sent them
on approval, and if not satisfactory the garments can be
returned at our expense.
