CHICAGO , Oct. 25. [ Special Telegram
to Tun Br.n.J The situation of the Union
Pacific under Its now traffic arrangement
with the Northwestern will not bo a bed of
roses.
Realty thorn Is a tacit if not a written
agreement on the part of the Rock Island ,
Burlington nnd St. Paul roads to fight the
Union Pacific at every possible point
To understand the situation thoroughly It
Is necessary to go back to 18S3 , when the
famous tripartite agreement was formed be
tween the Union Pacific , Rock island and St.
Paul. A cast-iron contract was at that time
entered Into by the three roads wfilch stipu
lated that each should help the other
in every possible way. The agreement
was for twenty years and could bo termi
nated only on a'year's notice. Up to data no
notice has been given by either of the lines
interested. Soon after the agreement was
formed the Burlington learned of its exist
ence nnd commenced a vigorous warfare
ngalnst the three roads , and after a uiomor-
nblo struggle the Union Pucillo capitulated
nnd granted the sumo terms to it which the
Rock Island and St. Paul oujoyoJ. The rec
ords show that neither ot the thrcohns turned
over as much trufllo to the Union Pacillo as
has tlio Northwestern.
Although prominent officials of the Rock
1 Island , Burlington and St. Paul wcro per *
fectly free to-day in expressing their opinion
of tbo now agreement , iho nature uf the case
compelled all of them to refuse
the use of their names. The ears
of Charles Francis Adams must have bim.cd ,
however , to-day , as the ofllcials of the three
rends expressed their opinion of him to your
representative in the most vigorous kind of
English.
Not a shadow ot doubt was expressed by
any of them that they would bo enabled to
break the agreement between the Union Pa
cific and Northwestern.
"If the Burlington was Dlcr enough In 1SS3
to break the tripartite agreement , " said
Paul Morton , of the Burlington , "it strikes
mo that the Burlington , Rock Island and St.
Paul nro big enough in SSO to break the
present agreement. "
All of tbo ofllcmls spoken to agree that the
deal might be a good ono for tlio North
western but a very bad ono for the Union
Pacific.
"Railroad wars make strnngo bedfellows.
Ttio Santa Fo having been guaranteed a largo
share of the trans-Missouri through tralllc. "
said R. R. Cable , of the Rock Island , "tho
deal in ono senna follows out a set.policy of
the Union Pacific , that of ignoring Cnicatro
as much us possible. The dcul the Union
Pacific mndo with the Northern Pacific about
rates from Duluth and Omaha to common
points was u body blow to Chicago. The
rates to Duluth and Chicago are the same
from the cast. Then to common points on
tlio Union nnd Northern Poclllc , traffic via
Chicago must stand the local rote between
Chicago and Omaha over what the same
trndlo via Duluth must stand. Under
the provisions of the Intor-statu coiumcrc.0 act
tha effect of the lower rates via Duluth must
extend to Intermediate points , the consequence
quence being the rapid upbuilding of Duluth
at the expense of'Chicaco. There is no ques
tion that the rates ought to bo less from
Omaha thun from Duluth. The present deal
Is but-a continuation ot the old policy , tbo
Northwoitern being the only Chicago line
having a Lake Superior outlet. It will bo
no change of policy on the part of the North
western either , ns it Is notoriously partial to
Duluth on tralllc originating on Its Elkhorn ,
Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis and Omaha
branches. I don't suppose the now deal can
bo brolce.n without a struirglu , but , It will
surely come when the present rush of freight
slackens. I do not know whether It will
coino to u rate war or not , but I know wo
will break up the deal if possible. "
Uialn Rate to Ho Restored.
CHICAGO , Oct. 23. [ Special Telegram to
THE BEE. | A Grand Trunk ofllclal to-day
received word from Now York that there
was ovary assurance of the raising of the
grain rate to the old 23-cont basis. A bint
had been received from tbo Inter-stato com
merce commission that it would no longer
sttind the open opposition the present separ
ation of rates offered to repeated decisions
of the commission. It will bo remembered
that six months ago the Baltimore & Ohio
reduced the corn rate to 20 cents. The move
created a panlo among tno eastern roads ,
but after u lomt contest tbo matter wan ar
ranged by all lines except the Grand Trunk
company quoting a QU-cont corn rate and 25
cents on nil other grain. The Grand Trunk
refused to oppose the mtor-etato commerce
commission and returned to the 25-ccnt
basis on all grain. The other lines had
heard nothing of the rumored ralao , but all
expressed eagerness to have It como. The
Grand Trunk ofllclal declared that rales
would bo'restored November 10 or 15.
Dakota Demands Fair Rates.
CHICAGO , Oct. 25. [ Special Telegram to
THE BuiJ.J Senator Frank Pettlgrow , of
South Daiiotn , Is in this city to-day. Ho is
lie re to have righted numerous alleged dis
criminations against the merchants of Ins
state , and while holding out the olive branch
of peace In ono hand , says that the railroad
laws of Iowa will bo as poaches and cream
In comparison to these which will bo enacted
by the legislature of South Dakota. Among
other things tbo senator said :
"Wo wont to establish * a commercial cen
ter in the interior of our state and propose
to have equitable rates to permit H , Wo are
now being discriminated against on all
hands. ITor Instance , the sugar rate and
others are made up by taking the rate from
San Francisco to St. Paul , adding to u the
locals buck to Sioux Fulls , uud then to iho
interior point. Than the local rates from
Aberdeen , Watortown and Sioux Falls
to tributary points are fur higher nor mlle
than the rates on the same goods from St.
Paul. This is a plain discrimination in favor
of St. Paul and against us. "
The belllcosq senator added that If the
railroads did not do the rlgbt thing the leg
islature of South Dakota would. Ho left for
Milwaukee to-night to confer with the
olUolals of the St. Paul roads. Chairman

"I am going to carefully examine every
pension corttllcato before I attach my natno
to it , " said Commissioner of Pensions Raum
to-day as ho drew up before him a huge pile
of certificates ,
"I cannot , bo too careful till I learn
thoroughly the routine of affairs hero. It has
been customary for the commissioner to
sign his naino or have n clerk do It by the
use of a rubber stamp , but t think that is a
delegation of too much power , and it should
bo attended to personally by the coraum-
sloner. If I can intrust n clerk to sign my
nnmo to pension certificates by the use of a
rubber stump I cannot see why I should
nlono bo empowered to do this work and beheld
hold exclusively responsible for it. "
The commissioner bad four or five hun
dred certificates presented to him for his sig
nature during the day. Among the cases ho
made special was that of a lady who was
born during Washington's administration.
She Is ninety-throe yours old unrt Is the

is the following , which will bo relished by
the mnnv BEE readers who personally know
Captain John Bourlco , who is a member of
the special partv and represents the presi
dent of the United States on the trip :
"Captain Boiirkc sat down to breakfast
this morn In ? and discovered after ho had
succeeded in corraling something to cat that
he was without the implement with which
to convoy the provender to his mouth. At
two previous meals this same thing had
haupcncd , uad on these occasions the captain
hud insisted on his rights wittt some vigor.
'Ihls morning ho just smiled apologetically
at the waiter and meekly said , 'Waiter , in
New York and Washington , where I
have frequently eaten as many as three
meals in a day , I have become accustomed to
using a knife and fork. Now if it is not n ill-
tect violation of the rules of the house-1
wish you would get 1110 these articles. '
There was a smile visible on the countenance
of the waiter as ho moved away , but ho got
oven with the sarcastic captain , it took him
ton minutes to find them , and the captain
was not doing so much smiling cither. "
I'ALMUH AND TUB PllKSSMEN'S UNION.
Public Printer Palmer had a dose of
the power of the pressmen's union a
day or two ago. No man can bo
n pressman In the Government print
ing ofllco unless ho belongs to this union or
can show a curd that ho is a journeyman In
good standing In some other similar organi
zation. If the public printer should insist
upon the appointment of a man , however
competent , who was not a member of ttio
union , every prossman.omploycdi'i the print
ing ofilco would stop work at oncp , and refuse -
fuse to resume until ttio appointee was
cither admitted to the union or discharged.
A few days ago tlio publlo printer np-
polntcd two men who made application for
admission into tbo union. Their applications
were rejected on the ground that they wore
uot competent journeymen pressmen. The
public printer made an Investigation into the
matter , and it so happened that ho ascer
tain that the union was right , and that the
men were not fit to act In iho capacities for
which they had been appointed. It was a
narrow escape on Mr. Palmer's part from
what might have been a very embarrassing
situation , for had the mnn been nblo to prou-
orlv perform their duties , anil tha union re
fused to have admitted them tbo result
would huva been a strike.

ST. LODIS , Oct. 25. In the preliminary ex
amination of Chambers for the killing of

Ho said when Bowman and Gnrrott first

him ( Chambers ) that ho must have $1,300.
' But I haven't 51,300 , , " responded Cham
bers.
"Then I must levy on everything in sight , "
said Bowman.
Chambers said if Bowman once entered
the house bo would gut It without regard to
the rights or feelings of anybody. Ho ,
Chambers , then brought out a gun with the
intention of frightening thorn off the plnco.

man ho would give him three minutes to get
off , but bo didn't move.
"Ho never moved a muscle , " said Cham
bers.
"Then t saw him make a motion with his
hand , and it occurred to mo if I did not shoot

I pulltd It , and Bowman fell. "

Taking of Rvldonco Resumed In tlio
Criminal Court.
Cittcioo , Oct. 23. Taking of cvldoneo In
the Cronln case was resumed In tbo criminal
court this morning. The prosecution con
tinued the presentation of witnesses , whoso
only testimony was as to tha Identification
of the body found in tbo catch basin ns that
of Dr. Cronln.
The Idontlllcatlon was very perfect and
very positive. *
The next matter taken up was the finding
of the body In tbo catch basin by the two
sewer cleaners , who notified the police of the
fact , nnd the policemen who wcro sent out
nnd assisted in removing the bodv were
sworn ns to this point and described the pro
ceeding. Lawyer Forrest for the defense ,
who made the cross-examination on this
bead , was very searching and rigid. The
taking of idontillcatlon evidence was then
resumed and after the examination of sev
eral witnesses the court took a recess.
At the afternoon session Dr. Egbert stated
the facts revealed by the autopsy , describing
the wounds at great length and giving It us
his opinion that death bud resulted from
thorn. All the wounds were on the head ,
but the skull was not broken except that a
small piece of bone was chipped oft at the
corner of the loft eye. Tno stomach and
sotno of Its contents were exhibited ,
and Dr. . Egbert said that Dr. Cro
nln was killed within three hours after
ho had oaten. The cross-examination ef
Dr. Egbert developed the fact that none
of the wounds were sucb as would
necessarily causa douth. It was Im
possible , ho admitted , to say whether
the wounds wcro Inflicted before or after
death. If death had resulted fiom the skull
wounds , It would , in nil probability , huvo
been caused t > y concussion of the brain. The
question was put to the doctor :
"Is It not sclcntlllcally true that the physi
cians found no evidences in that body that
wore certain nnd conclusive of the form of
death } " Dr. Egbert replied :
' 'That Is true. "
He was of the opinion that death hud oc
curred through tha excessive loss of blood ,
but there was no certainty of it , ho said.
Dr. Perltins , who assisted nt the postmortem
tem , thought death resulted from concussion
of the brain.
MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
A Supposed Dead Alan TiiniH Up Alive
and Well.
ST. PAUL , Minn. , Oct. 23. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Bui : . | That "truth is stranger
than fiction" has Just been exemlllied ; hero
in a most startling way. Last Monday
morning about 10 o'clock a young man , ap
parently about twenty-four years of age ,
while walking along the beams in the Endl-
cott building , missed his footing and plunged
headlong six flights to the basement. When
picked up bo was found to bo dead. Ho was
taken to an imdei taker's room and Identified
by Thomas Mahono.v and James' Mahoney as
tnelr brother , Patrick. Later ho was iden
tified by a dozen other acquaintances.
After lying In the morgue a day his body
was placed in a codln , taken to a train and
berne to Huylowood , Rico countv. young Ma-
hoiu-y's former homo. Whoa tbo collln was
opened at St. Patrick's church , m Hazlo-
wood , the body was recogni/ed by u hundred
people as that of Patrick Mahonoy.
Now comes the strange part of the storv.
Thomas Mahoney returned to St. Paul to se
cure the effects of his brother. On arriving
hero , however , ho found that Patrick had
boarded In Minneapolis. Repairing to the
latter city , ho .went to No. " 1718 ,
Hawthorne avenue nnd Inqulrcd""if bis
brother , bad anv olTocU thoro. Mrs.
Aorngan , the landlady , replied that ho hadv ,
but when Mahoncy asked that they bo de
livered to him she laughed and said :
"If you will wait hero until noon Patrick
will show up hero and take dinner with you. "
The brother was first incredulous and then
overjoyed. To make a long story short , Pat
rick Mahoney did turn up as much alive as
any man in Minneapolis. He had been at
work all week in Minneapolis , and not hav
ing received the papers , had not ho.ml of the
funeral. The case is the most remarkable
in Minnesota , and suggested that the body
found In tbo Chicago catch basin may not
have been that of Dr. Cronln aftur all.
