CHARLIE ROSS.
From the Ne,u York 77zbuhs, De. Is.
Every man in tho Police Department has bo-
come interested in the recovery of Charlie
Ross. and the forco has been 1ndefatigablo in it's
efforts. Early yesterday dispatch was received
by Superintendent Wal1ing that induced him to
eet out at once and to follow the trail personally.
Ho went away with strong hopes that ho would
either return witt. the child receive information
that wonld lead lin, to discover its fste. He
returned at about 1890 p, H., and went at once
to his homo. evidently worn out with lis sixteen
hours journey, He telegraphed to the Central
Office that he had returned viii, no news. i
very keen disappointment prevailed among oil ill.,
terested in the case at tho failure OF this lates:
clow, the general impression being, as
the Superintendent had devoted himself
to its unrayement that j: vas tho
strongest and surost hope Of recovering
the lost Charlie Ross. There arc still several
other clews remaining. and three detectives from
the Central Office are still absent attempting. to
nnra:cl them, but tho strong hope Of finding
the abducted boy, which animated Ill of them
earlier, is becoming more aud moro faint. It in
claimed by snrewd mon in tho detective force
that the death of the child could alono have con-
coalcd him from the vieilaut thoroughncss with
which the various searches for him within the
las. three days hayo been conducted.

The CoNTRAcrTo PUSH THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC RAILROAD. MIR. Bowen ac-
knowledges, in this weeks Independent,
that there was personal contract"
between himself and Mr.. Cooke with
regard to the Northern Pacific Railroad
He says this contract "was for labor,
and for the personal aid and services of
several other business men associated
with Mr.. Bowen and not connected with
any newspapers" This is not denial
of our charges, but it is an evasion of
them. We have hitherto said no more
about the contract than was pecessary
to furnish text for some observations
about newspaper ethics" We will
now further explain in self justification,
that the contract il question is in the
hands of Mr.. E. 3. Robinson, the ,oun-
sci for the trustee in bankruptcy in this
city, who, we are informed, has been
instructed to sue Mr.. Bowen on it, on
the ground assigned by US, namely, that
it is contru bonus mores, and the reason
why it is contro bonus mores is that il
stipulates that Mr.. Bowen shall give to
the sale of the Northern Pacific bonds
"the exclusive interest and influence Of
his money and editorial columns" The
several other business men who were
associated with him. who were tc
have the benefits of the arrangement
are his nephew, who is in his office, and
o Mr.. Kibbey, who is also in his Office,
