His supporters say he will have a plural- ity over the next highest candidate of not less thun 5,000. The latest reports show he now has a lead of about 3,000, which doubtless cannot be overcome. Egan surprised both the stalwarts and | progressives by the manner his vote kept |up throughout the state. Instead of .run- ning strong only in the part of the state where he lives he secured a heavy vote in the most remote precincts and in territory where it was believed he would receive only A scattering vote he secured as heavy a proportionate vote as in the territory which was regarded safe for him, The outcome of the primaries on n: gressmen is yet in doubt. The reports on this are too meager to form an opinion on who has won out.

Rallroads Cancel Rates. In consonance with the verbal arrange- ment with President Taft the companies included in the western trunk lines have begun the filing of tariffs with the Inter- state Commerce commission in cancellation of the tariffs which they filed to be effec- tive on June 1. i Although the injunction which the gov- ernment obtained applies only to the rates made by the Western Trunk Line associa- tion, under the agreement made with the president it will be incumbent on the east- ern- lines to cuncel the advances which they made to be effective about July 1. Mr. Hosmer of Chicago, as agent of the Western Trunk Line association, today filed with the commission a tariff cancel- I'ng the advance In rates on wool from St. | Paul and Minneapolls to New York and Boston. The advance was 10 gents per 100 pounds, to be effective July 1. These rates were not affected by the Injunction ob- talned by the government.
