Union fnollln Tritnu tlio Cnnndlnn Mne with Hilrnt Contempt. That nllcn corporation north of the states known as the Canadian Pacific Is ongngod In the pleasant pastime of making monkey * of the Union Pacific nml Southern Pnclflc.to say nothing of the trouble It Is causing other Denver lines , Itm "Canuck" road with n BUhllmo dlsrpgard of'tho c < iultles has cut caslbound rates frightfully from Sun FranCisco - Cisco to SU Paul nnd Mlnnou : > ells , and Ijy adding the locals Is landing passengers In Chicago cheaper by flB than nny of Its com petitors. Hy the tiso of the Pacific Steamship - ship compnny'8 boats It hauls passengers from "Frisco to Vnncouvrr nnd Puget Sound points , thciiL-o cast over Its own Una to St. I'aul , malting rate of KW flrst-clnss and ( 'JO seconddimsvnlcli , added tu the Chicago rnto of HUM ) , hinds n passenger In the World's fair city for HUM ) tint-class and fai.M ) second-class.

N ) second end class , n differential In favor of the Canadian Pacific of JI5.M ) on lint-class bust- lies * , nnd (31 ot , second class. Although this cut rate has been In effect for upward ot a fortnight , both the Union Paulllcnml Southern Pacific have seemingly KOIIO on the theory that the roundabout nn- tuioof the huul would drive business nwav , from the alien rival on the north. The facts In the case imi that the Pnclllo Steamship company's boat hut Saturday was loaded to the guards with passengers for the east via the Canadian Pad lie. Through lliirlliictiin Mr. Francis ot the Burlington. In dis cussing the Hltimtion , said that It vrould seem its If the Union Pacific ought to pro tect Its Interests oven If It was found neces sary to use Its own boats from San Fran cisco to sound points.The Union Pacillo has the largest Interest of nny line cast of Omton , nnd good Judgment , irrespective of every other cot'slderntlon , seems to warrant some action on the part of Mr. Lomax to protect his own. I think I understand the position taken by Mr. Txmmx that the boat line could hover bo popular , and Hither than cut rates ho would lose n passenger or two to the Canadian Pacific. But the situation is growing serious. business Is being lost , and. If my Information Is true , kregardlng the condition of affairs on the coast I really cannot see why the Union Pacific , oven If it Is under aomo agreement with the Southern Pacific , cannot nominitc tlio situation and force tliu Canadian Pa- cillo to terms , it's all very well for a lawyer to say you cannot put a nmn In jail for n mis demeanor , but what uro you going to say when holi in Jail ? Certainly the louto Is a very circuitous ono and naturally would not command nny attention whatever , all thlugH being equal. Tim Ctn.idlnn Pacific has a differential in Its favor and it's play- itic n part In the transportation of passen ger * . " V\ hen Mr. Lomnx w.is scon , ho had to sa.vaboutthomattcr.althouKli ho intimated that'tho weather would soon put a su > n to the Canadian Paclllo's hauUng passciisors for the rates now In effect. "Goinp from San Francisco to ( Jhlcapo via the Canadian Pacific , " said Mr. Lomax , "Is like coins vl.i Duluth and the lakes to Now York , coustd- crobloof a way round. The domorallzatlon is not far-reaching and will expend itself very teen , " _ _ _ _ _ _ _ RKMJ ii > THIS K.VTK. AlfrcluiiitH Allry ! ut tlio .Action nf Tuo Miuthern ItonrtM. AnaosTA , Ga. , Nov. 14.

( latocandidate for mayor ) , ns a loader of nn anti-vino crus.ide , held the boards at the city council last night. Ills nppournuco In .such n role was si general sur prise. The listeners In the council nnd lobby wcro compelled to rub their eyes nnd stick largo sired pins Into their anatomies to con vince themselves that tlioy wcro not in the land of dreams. Mr. Unscall had an elongated resolution , brimming ever with whorcasfi * and re solves , In which ho citc.l that the statutes of Nebraska nnd ordinances ot the city pro hibited gambling and make of tlio same high olTenso."Therefore It was resolved that the council call on , direct and rcquiro the mayor nnd Hoard of Fire and Pollco Commissioners to enforce the laws and ordi nances to thaslilct loiter. " In support of his resolution Mr. Hascall said , that the laws should bo enforced to the lottor. Ho was Informed that the chief of police had taken stop * to enforce the Slocumblaw.

Mr. liowoll considered that the action would bo n llttlo hasty and ho thought the resolution should go to a committee. Ho favored regulating the evil in the bust manner possible and had supuouled the po sition of Mayor Bum Is In the vast on the question. Mr. Pilnco beltnvod the present system of regulation \va.s the best and pointed out what ho considered Its advantages. Ho thought Mr. Hascall had more sense than to father such a resolution , and was surprised at him. Mr. Munro smote Mr. Hasc.itl hip nnd thigh. Ho alleged that it wnu an after- oleotlon reform of the gentleman from the FlrsOUiii wns ' 'soro. ' " He reiterated state ments of Air. Hascall that the city should bo fenced , up and turned into a country village , If it was proposed to do such things. Ho moved to lay the resolution on the table.

Mr , Wheeler wus In favor of the adoption of the resolution. Ho said that it wus n dis grace to permit the gambling houses to run onenly , and thought each member of the council who Had voted for the license or dinance would bonsUiimod to show his face in decent society. Ho threatened that If the resolution was tabled one would bo ure- sented similar In character every Tuesday night until the council did tulcc action. Ho said that "if the mayor and Board of Fira and Police Commissioners dirt not en force the laws , I , as a cltlrcn nnd member of this council , would favor Impeaching those onleiuls. " Mr. Klsnsscr holiovpd < that the present sjstom wus 'the best and compared the former ono with it , pointing out what ho .considered tiio advantages of the one now in "vogue. Mr. Munro contended that it was wrong to introduce such a resolution at this tlmo. Ho said that Mayor Bomls' position had been endorsed ou this < | uestlon , and that on that Issue ho had been overwhelmingly re-elected over Mr. Hascall and another citizen of Omaha , with that ns ono of the issues. In this way ho bcfiovcd that the mayor had been sustained by the best people of the city. The motion to iay on the table was lost by a vote of ! ) to 7.
