Mr.. Mu,ray's Tersion of the Matter.

Mr.. Nurray's Tersion of the Natter.
Upon receiving the above in the N. Y. Sun a
GLOBE reporter was detailed to wait upon Mr..
Murray and ask him for his version of the af-
fair. Mr.. Murray read the article in question,
and when he had concluded, the reporter asked
What was the basis for the claim which you
represented?
Mr.. Murray.-It was claim of Col. Mobiles, OF
this city, against the Venezuelan government fol
violation of contract made with Mobiles
Beals and Garrison, for the running of line OF
ocean steamers from New York to Laguira.
Rep.-Was the claim ever paid?
Mr.. M.-The Venezuelan government has
paid about $500, 900 into the Treasury of the
United States: but it has not been divided
among the claimants because that government
is now seeking to invalidate the award.
Rep.-Then you have never received your
claim?
Mr.. M.-Not at all. They only allowed
$3.50, 900 of the claim represented, while we
asked for over 5000, 900, and now they want to
cheat us out of that.
Rep.-How about that letter which Pile pur-
ports to certify?
Mr.. M.-That letter is an entire fabrication,
suppose, of this man Pile. He is an agent of
the Venezuelan government and is employed by
them to break up the award and enable them
to escape payment.
nep.-Dld you ever meeJ F1le!
Mr.. M.-Yes he was here last fall, and
reatened to publish a letter of mine if l did
not help him to break up the award, though he
offered to pay in full if I would aid him in
breaking up the commission. If the committee
on foreign affairs wish to investigate it, they
will see that these charges and this letter are
all fabrication.
Hep.-Have you any statement, further that
you wish to make to the public on this matter?
Mr.. Nj don't know that I have. All I
want is to have this matter settled. do not

terday|Spirited Bidding.
On Tuesday evening last, number Of gen
tlemen representing the rival steamboat in
terests of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
arrived in the city. The cause of this influx
of river men was the opening of bids yester-
day at the Office of Chief Quartermaster Temp
kins, of the Department. of Dakota, for the
transportation of government supplies on the
Missouri, Yellowstone and Big Horn rivers next
spring and summer. From the nature of the
case, it was impossible yesterday to bring the
matter to any conclusion as to
the successful competitor and SO
little was done beyond the opening of the
bids. The bidding, it is understood, was very
spirited and prices reduced materially from the
prevailing rates of last year.
In a day or two the bids will be classified and
analysed SO that the awards can be properly as
certained. The opening of these bids was the
occasion of attracting to the city large numbers
of persons captains, clerks, pilots, engineers
and others-who in the event of the success OF
their respective interests expect to be employed
for the summer in navigating the streams
above mentioned.

sureties are not therefore liable for the
amounts lost by the failure of any banks in
which the funds were deposited. Also that the

A Party From the Canada Pacific Survey

A Party From the Canada Pacific Survey
in minneapolis.
Messrs. John A. Mckinley, w. R. Mcleod
and John D. Fortier, formerly of Orillia, Onta-
rio, but for the past five years connected with
the Canada Pacific surveys way out west, ar
rived in this city last Saturday and remained
of a return to civilization.
Five years ago these young men accompanied
the surveying party to Winnipeg, and since
that time have been constantly employed in
that wild region. About the middle of Deem
Der the three, having determined to sever their
connection with the survey, babe adieu to their
comrades, at that time encamped one hundred
and fifty or two hundred miles west of the
head waters of the Saskatchewan, and started
for Fort Garry by dog express, the entire dis
lance to Fort Garry being more than seven
hundred miles. They made the trip to the Red
River settlements in about twenty days, suffer
ing considerably from cold and storms on
the way. portion of the distance there
was not sufficient snow to make sleighing even
passable, but most of the time the cold was
intense-being in striking contrast to the soft
latitude.
The boys" brought with them handsome
supply of beaver and otter skins and extra fine
buffalo robes. The country where they have
been prosecuting their surveys recently, is
almost a terra incognitio, having been partially
explored by but few white men, and entirely
explored by none. They report that the
mineral resources promise to be abundant
when once the country is carefully surveyed.
Hard coal, iron, copper and silver were dis
covered, and evidences of the richest deposits
of gold in certain localities.
The work on the survey is progressing very
slowly, and its present rate of movement will
take nearly a century to reach the Pacific coast.
Wild game and Indians are abundant the lat
ter all peaceably inclined.
The young men bear the marks of their five
years of rough frontier life, still dress in the
raw buckskin garments of the camp and ex-
press themselves sufficiently amused with
their experience. They left last night for their
homes in Ontario, and will not return to the
surveying party.

just at this time our granger friends who
have built up one of the strongest and most
complete insurance associations ever attemp-
ted in the West, are all torn up over the
management of the corporation. This COM
pany came into existence about a dozen
years ago, being the offspring of the fertile
insurance brain of one w. A. Nimmocks,
young man from Michigan.
Through earnest and untiring labor, Mr..
Nimmocks as secretary of the corporation,

Vulnerable prophecies of failure

MES no less than republics seem to be un-
| grateful, and this year number of honest
grangers came to the meeting determined to
burst the Nimmock's administration or per

members OF the association, he gave
as reason for desiring to see
the tawny scalp of w. A. n
elevated; that the man had got too big fol
his breeches; had been drawing $500 salary
out of the concern for years; had made it q
roosting place for the entire Nimmocks fam

good thing somebody else ought to have q

An Incident at an Evening party in! which
Two City Gents Miss a Good Time and
Mourn therefor.
An incident occurred an evening or two ago
at the residence in this city of a well-known
and very popular gentleman of the legal pro
fession which yesterday came to the ears of a
GLOBE reporter, and being too good to be lost is
herewith laid before the thousands of readers
of The GLOBE this morning. The gentleman
aforesaid, while serving his constituency in
the upper branch of the Minnesota Legislature.
formed, of course, intimate friendship with
two or three fellow members of that body, and
although the official relation which bound them
has been severed, he is nevertheless fond of
keeping up old associations.
With this view an invitation was extended to
four of the official dignitaries above alluded to,
to meet at his house two nights ago. Arriving
there, the four were soon absorbed in the
mysteries of certain style of recreation, the
necessary implements of which, it is said were
invented for the amusement of certain young
French Prince. Now two of the party were
moral roosters," popularity known as grass
hoppers," the others being city gents; and
when, late in the evening, the celebrating
beverage known as eggnog was handed around,
they each took glass, the others firmly declin.
ing and the waiter passing on. This latter fact
somewhat astonished the two one of whom re-
marked: "Why, didn't know you were Good
Templars, and couldn't drink eggnog. y
What, cried out the abstemious twain, " that
eggnog? My God, we thought it was custard.' .
This remark fully explained the reason of thei,
refusal, and led to a good many jokes at the
expense of the gentlemen who were SO in the
habit of taking theirs straight that they didn't
know eggnOg when they saw it.

Last night about eight o'clock gentleman
entered the store of Mr.. George Haas, As East

have showcase outside the door. Mr.. Haas
replied that he did. The gentleman then re-
marked that two men were carrying it away.
The alarm was given to the police, and officers
Murphy and Baer started in pursuit, following
the robbers to the rear of Presleys fruit store
on Second street where they caught them in
the act of filling their pockets with the
contents of the case. A third man re-
manned on the walk and attempted to alarm
his companions, but the officers were too quick
for them and all three were captured. In
searching them at police headquarters the Off
GERS found one small revolver, two pistols, four
pocket knives, three pair Of wristlets one pair
Of child's leggins, besides other articles of
small value. They gave their names as
Charles Bush, Ellwood Kay and Harry Howard.
They are strangers in the city. Mr.. Haas re-
covered his showcase with the glass all
smashed and the goods that the case contained.
