CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—At the mass-mest- | ing of general passenger agents of West- ern nd transcontinental roads in the Western Passenger Assoclation rooms it is said a snag was struck that threatens to delay the abolishing of commission payments and the restoring of passenger rates to a normal tariff. President J, J. Hill of the Great Northern and the man- agers of the Canadian Pacific are said to | stand In the way of the consummation of | the big pooling plan of the Eastern road magnates. | General Passenger Agent Whitney of the Great Northern reported that his road was not prepared to withdraw the $25 tourist rate from St. Paul to Seattle, but would consent in the interest of harmony to make the minimum rate to all points in the Northwest $2%. The reason as- signed was that the Great Northern could not afford to abandon the fleld to the Canadian Pacific, which contlnued to make the low rates. This was not satis- factory to the Union Pacific and the Ore. gon Railroad and Navigation Company, which refused to honor rebate tickets sn long as tickets at flat rates were sold | from St. Paul. . Efforts are now being made to har- monize the conflicting iInterests of the l';nadm.n Pacific and the Northern Pa- cific. DR. HOWARD A.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—The House Committee on Public Land has deter- mired that whatever measure pass Con- gress to lease grazing lands, the Federal Government will have charge of the leas- ing and the actual owners of herds will have their interests well guarded. No subletting and speculation in leaseholds will be permitted, and syndicates which | own no stock will not_be allowed to With the feasin policy will go that of renewing natural forege on cxhausted ranges, which the Agricultural Department will aid the leaseholder in carrying out. It is felt keenly in Congress that the beef food supply of the country will soon meet great disaster if the ranges are not protected from exhaustion by giving to leaseholders a motive for their welfare. Whatever the measure that becomes a law, the Interests of the homesteaders on agricuitural lands and those of the miner on mineral lands will be entirely preserved. Colonel John . Irish of San Francisco was among those who appeared before the committee and its action was In thorough accord ‘with his argument. ‘The SeLrLtury of the Treasury to-day submitted to Congress estimates for de- fraying expenses of the Government for the fiscal year 1901 in collecting revenues at Pacific Coast ports as follows: California, San Francisco—Collector's office, 35 Naval otflo [ SR; Hurreyces offioa 11,725, Total, $3:1,135.
