Onnnrnl r/innniiRor Agent I.Ttmr In Doubt
HH to tlio Action ofo tprn llnniln.
The Union P.icitlo occupies the coign of
vantage in the triangular light now being
waged over tlio resumption of tbo old rates
that existed prior to the opening of the
World's ' talr , and unless the roads indicated
raise their rates enatof the Missouri river on
November 10 , as they have agreed , the live-
Heat war that has ever occurred In railroad
circles will bo inaugurated in transconti
nental History.
Mr. Lomax , who has evidently aimed at
being conservative In the question of a re
sumption of the old rates , desired to restore
the nitcs November 1 , but the Great North
ern found that it would bo Impossible to ac
complish the restoration before the 5th.
The Canudian Pacific also objected on the
fraund that it. could not got out notices on
time to Us connections , and so Mr. Lomax ,
as a compromise , stated the Union 1'aciflc
would restore the rates November 5 , allow
ing the burden of failure to raise rate to rest
with tno nortnern lines should they fail to
line up to their agreement.
November 10 is now the date sot for the
restoration and should the Great Northern
and Canadian Pacific refuse to put in the
rates undoubtedly the Union Pacific means
to Inaugurate a war of retaliation which ill
probably extend into the winter.
Mr. Lomax. talking to a reporter yesterday
morning , said that lie would not restore rates
until the other lines wcro in position ,
and ho would not posume to guess
whether rates would bo restored 01
not. "Thcso rates , " said Mr. Lomax ,
are World's fair excursion rates and
ceased on November 1 , but 1 think the north
ern lines have not accepted my proposition
to raise the rates to their former basis , on
technical grounds , so 1 cannot Sell what wil
bo done. These rates do not affect in any
way the rates now In use to north Pacific
coast points , but as a principle should have
Deon raised with the close of the fair. The
whole business is decidedly mixed and the
outcome is decidedly uncertain. "

CHICAGO , Nov. 4. Chairman Caldwell o
the Western Passenger association returnee
today after trying in Omaha and St. Paul to
remedy the existing condition of affairs In
passenger circles. His efforts were
entirely fruitless. The Western Passen
ger association committee appointed
to deal with the Union Pacltit on
Immigrant business was in session the
greater portion of the afternoon. Nothing
definite was arranged and the matter will
probably go ever to the regular association
meeting of Thursday next week. It
will probably bo referted to the gen
eral managers for settlement. As tlio
tVilng now stands the association is In
danger. With the Union Pacific making
war the Atchison was compelled to look
after its heavy interests In transmlssouri
territory. With the Atchison out the Alton
will go , and there Is no telling \ > here the
exodus would end.

The ofllco of the Milwaukee company In

by the Dime Savings bank , Just across the

will bo In every way superior to the old
quarters which the road has occu
pied since the erection of the
Uank of Commerce building. The rooms
to bo occupied are considerably larger than
those at present used by the Milwaukee people -
plo and when finally arranged will undoubt
edly bo u great improvement over the old
unices of the company. Monday morning
the new ofllco of tlio Milwaukee company
will bo open for business , directly opposite
the Uank of Commerce and adjoining the
Merchants hotel.

W. W. Marsh , representing Stnphen Un
derbill of Now York , was In the city the
other day ,
The Minneapolis Bulletin says that the
question of organfolng n branch of the Na
tional Lsnguo of Commission Merchants will
bo agitated in that city.
F. W. Lcavltt of the Dally Produce Bulle
tin of Minneapolis spent a day in the city
the past week. The Bulletin Is the only
ilailv produce Journal In the country.
J. C. Blsbco of Auburn. Cal. , called on E.
B. Branch on his way homo from tno cast.
Ho reports that the past season was a fairly
satisfactory one for the fruit shippers of his
section of the state. The growers found
some fault with prices at times , but the
average for the whole season was not s
bad as it might have been.
Thus fur Omaha has been soared from the
auction nuisance. Just what is to be gained
by the selling of fruits at 'Auction , especially
at the smaller markets of 2o country , is not
apparent at this distance. Where the auc
lion plan is being tried there appears to bo a
very wide difference of opinion us to whether
the rosultb arc satisfactory.
Mr. Betnis of the firm of Bemis & Clark
says that prices on all kinds of country pro
duce , excepting wheat , are too high , und
that wo will see lower prices before higher.
Ho bases his opinion on the fact that the la
boring men of the country are not in a condi
tion to buy und that the lack of a demand
from that source must carry prices lower.
It Is estimated that , fully one-third of the
entire crop Of Capo Cod cranberries has
been held back by growers ou account of
poor prices. It is thought that the crop will
foot up nearly 173.000 barrels , the largest on
record. The highest price received has been
$ -1.75 for the choicest berries , and ? 3 ! 2f > for
low grades. The growers claim that they
cannot pav the prices demanded by the
Pickers and sell their fruit at a profit.
Large beds of oysters have been discov
ered in tlio Pacific waters off Alaska , says
the West Coast Trade. It ha'l been thought
that the water was too cold , but there are
places where it is warmed by the Jap in cur
rent , which modules the temperature of the
Pacific coast more than the Gulf stream
does that of thn Atlantic co ist. The Alaska
oysters are pronounced a very superior va
riety , much better than the small oysters
grown near tlio coast of California.
M. C. Mason of San Dieco is represented
by the Mlitneapolls'Bullotln ab saying : "Tho
orange crop this year in San Dio/o / county
will by far exceed any former production of
that fruit and is much in excess of the ex
pectation of the growers , it is simply mar
velous und as the farmers are hardly prepared -
pared to handle the extraordinary yield I
fear there will be considerable confusion
when the season bogius. The rains seem to
have como Just at the right time , und the
usual frosts , which hnve heretofore worked
considerable damage to the now buds , have
been very slight , doing no damage worth
mentioning. Ab regards the raisin indus
try , thcio is no doubt but that there will
also be nn unusual crop. The warm summer
vc have had has somewhat hastened the
ciison , and already there have been largo
hlpments east. "
In these times w hen there is so much talk
ibout overproduction , especially of farm
reps , it seems u little strange to hoar deal
ers in the oust talklnir about the neccs-
itv of importing potatoes in order to
iclp out the short crop in this coun-
ry. It 1 oks now , however , us If
t would become necessary to full back on
ho supplies in foreii ? * countries , as has been
done several times before in tlio past few
'ears. ' The acreage of potatoes in tlio
Jnlted States wiis us largo as usual , but
owing to the unfavonhlo conditions the
yield was small. In some parts of the coun-
, ry the dry weather anil the potato bectlo cut
the crop down to u very low point , while in
other sections a superabundance of inolsturo
wns equally destructive. British potatoes
are already on the wny to New York , and
shipments bid fair to bo quite heavy during
, hu next two mouths.

FROM THE EMERALD ISLE.
1'iUlior JlcG ulo of County Tyrone U Visit
ing Out ilin.
Hov. J. McGlado of Omagh , County Tyrone ,
Ireland , is among the guests at the Mlllard.
Father McGludo Is spending a few days In
the city renewing the acquaintance of old
friends and will leave during the week for
the cast. His purpose In visiting this coun
try Is to obtain aid for a doscrvijig church In
his parish anil Incidentally to gather mater
ial for a book which will recount his exper
ience and observations on this sldo of the
water.
Father MiGlado ; Is nn Interesting conver
sationalist and is remarkably well informed
on all matters of Irish interest. Like nil
rue Irishmen , ho believes that the homo
ulo cause * * \ > ill ultimately triumph , but is
nclincd to criticise the policy of the Par-
nelllto faction in threatening to withdraw
heir support from Gladstone unless ho ro
uses to entertain any other legislation until
ho homo rule bill Is favorably considered.
"Tho result of such a policy , " said he ,
'would ' bo to cstraneo u largo portion of the
bllowlug , which the Irish now have in Kng-
und. to say nothing of the manifest injustice
to Mr. Gladstone , who has kepi the homo
rule Dill under consideration for nearly six
nonths. There are a largo number of the
English members ivho have Riven their SUD-
> ort to tno home rule bill with the under
standing that the Irish should assist them in
return to pass various measures for the ro-
ief of the working classes of England and
Wales. It now seems evident that
.ho House of Lords will not declare In
'uvor of homo rule at this time and
Mr. Gladstone's policy of waiting for another
ippeal to the country before aguln pressing
the measure is well founded In wisdom. The
excuse elven by many members for not vot-
IIR for the bill was that It hud not yet been
before the country In dotuil and they had
no means of knowing whether the people
wcro in favor of it or not. The same excuse
will not answer anothbr time and when the
country bus had a chunco to declare itself on
, he issue I believe that the lords will meet
the trend of public sentiment and a majority
can be procured in favor of the bill. "
In reply to u query us to his Impressions of
America , Father MeGlado expressed both
surprise and admiration at the possibilities
which the now world offered. Ho had met
many of his old Irish friends during his
lournoy and was much gratified to observe
; hat their condition had much Improved
since they loft the o'd ' country. Many of
them hud been very poor in Ireland and
were in continual danger of eviction , since
their arrival in this country they had be
come well-to-do and most of them wore com
paratively wealthy.
Among the most pleasant memories of his
would bo thosu connected with the
World's fair and the Catholic congress at
which ho was un attendant. The fair was
something more stupendous and magnificent
than any ono hud dreamed of nnd such as no
city but Chicago and no country but the
United States could have successfully curried
out.

OM uu , Nov. a. To the Kdltor of TUB HKB :
In answer to tlio article publuhod In yester
day's Western Laborer which speaks of ono ,
Robert Holmes , In a way very much un
becoming a labor organization.
Mr. Kobcrt Holmes , wo all know to be one
of the best union men In the city for tlio past
ten yours , and has always been Identified In
the Hrlrklavurn' union as a member , who
alw.ivs hhla nathlnc except contempt for n
scab or nonunion man.
Therefore It docs not become any organ-
Ircd bo ly to condemn a man like Mr.
Holmes and make such a statement.
Uoborl Holmes was president of the
brlcklnjers union In 188.1 and 1830. and at the
present tltno holds that prominent chair
( touniuiil It docs not look reasonable that
ho would bo unfair to his own people , niul
further it does not look quite right that
this man coulil possibly bo elected to this
Important position and ha\o been \\l\i\\
knights of labor assert that ho U.
All wo v lsh to do Is to deny these accusa
tions most emphatically , ami say to the
voteisth.it Robert Holmes , to our knowl
edge. Is an upright man of good principle ,
and , when elected to become a city council
man , will endeavor to use his best Judgment
for the host Interest of tno taxpayer ! , busl
ness men nnd the wonting community.
These are n few reasons why we wish to
support this man , who has been regularly
nomitiatck and endorsed by the people's
party. Whrn ho sits in the council he will
not forgot the interests of the people. Vouri
respectfully , Lnr. HAIITLKV ,
