mo, not q bit of it."


again, Mr.. Merrill, the complaint is made
that you have been running your 6 O'clock A.
NJ. train into the city ahead of time to
the great Inconvenience of the public. In fact
| it Is said this has been done twice, and that
your rs o'clock P. M. train has INDUCED in
like cratic movements, to the great confusion
| of everybody"
"Prior! Priorr' called Mr.. Merrill.
MIR. Prior responded, and Mr.. Merrill, with
out repeating it here, told him all the GLOBE
had said.
Mr.. Prior said it wasn't So,
Then MIR. Merrill said it wasn't SO?
Both gentlemen went into an elaborate ex-
PLANTATION to show that it wasn't and couldn't
be so, and backed up their assertions by refer
ring to the astronomical Nurthfield time. The
GLOBE thought it time to leave and did so.
THE WEST WISCONSIN.
Diagonally opposite from where all the above
talk happened, Mr.. Frank B. Clark. general
traffic manager of the Chicago, St. Paul 4
Minneapolis Railroad company, is located. Mr..
Clark had visit from the GLOBE, during
which the following conversation ensued:
MIR. Clark, what do you know about the
outrage perpetrated by the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul Railroad company not
stopping its tran here Saturday.
Il know what everybody else does, that it
passed by without stopping"
for the action, said, as far as he knew, the
SUNDAY GLOBES account gave all the explana.
ton he'd beer able to obtain.
As a further explanation of the cause of "the
outrage" the GLOBE gave in detail ''the agree
ment," stated above, which Mr.. Gault had as
serted existed between his (Gault's) and Clark's
road about transporting troops.
That's not So" said Mr.. Clark. ''Or at
least SO much of it as refers to- transport
ing troops beyond st. Paul. We
have no such agreement. We did understand
that We had an agreement with the Chicago,
Milwaukee st. Paul road to put the carrying
Of troops business p in the pool and they have
Then Mr.. Clark showed letter of June oath
ult., which he had addressed to the Chicago,
Milwaukee st. Paul people, calling their at
tention to this matter. He explained by say
ing that the company had carried troops
right along to Fort Smelling and else
where, and never put EN- in the pool.
The April pool being settled and no mention
of troops made, Mr.. Clark addressed the letter
of June 9th to them.
" never have received any reply to it. I
have supplemented it with kilograms, to which
NO attention has been paid. And feeling that
they were not going to stand to their pool
them. The first lot we haa to take
up by 'busses from here because
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul train got in
ahead Of time. This second lot of troops we
got in ahead of time and they passed us by.
That's all there is to it."
Mr.. Clark concluded by renarking that his
road could fight it out on that line, etc.
SUPPLEMENTARY EXPLANATION.
Subsequent to the above explanation, say
about nightfall. Mr.. J. G. Gault sought out
the GLOBE interviewer to add 10 his remarks Of
the forenoon.
He began by declaring that he and MIR. F. B.
Clark had had a talk over the business.
And it is all mista ke," said Mr.. Gault,
arising from misunderstanding between
the two railroad companies
Mr.. Nault then went on to explain that his
company had in some way left out the trans
portation of soldiers in the pool settlement.
The understanding to pool the
between both companies, but his
company had been guilty of an error of omis.
sion. How this had come about MIR. Gault
was at loss to understand, but presumed it
happened because of change at the official
headquarters, where a MIR. Hoppy had gone out
and Mr.. Merrill had taken his place, the lat
ter not being fully up to the business in this
particular agreement.
MIR. Gault admitted Mr.. Clark had done all
had failed to get his letter
(the one Of June oath referred to above) be-
cause he was out ON the frontier at the time.
MIR. Gault declares that he was under the i'm
preston 'the poor' was as tranquil as agree
ment could make it, and isn't surprised at Mr..
Carpenters indignation at the pool distur-
bance, aud his attempt to thwart it.
Both Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Carpenter acted in
the supposition that each company was violat-
ing the arrangement.
1t was misunderstanding which has been
amicably arranged
This last named statement of the business,
Mr.. Gault was particularly DESTROYS of having
understood. 1t was q misunderstanding which
has been amiCably arranged.
And so arranged, the inference is that the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul trains will
stop regularly at st. Paul, unless another dis
arrangement sets in.
