SECRETARY RAMSEY has evidently deter
mined that the wants of this military de-
partment shall not suffer if he can prevent
it. In communication to the Senate he
has called attention to extracts from the last
annual reports of Gems. Terry and Sherman.
recommending an appropriation of 100000
to complete Fort Assinaboine, Montana
Territory, and also an appropriation of
100000 to construct new post near West
Mountain, Montana, or in that vicinity, and
adding that "the necessity for these two
posts is fully shown in the remarks quoted,
and an early appropriation for the objects
named is earnestly recommended, in order
that material may be forwarded Immediately
upon the opening of navigation on the Mis-
souri, river.'' The recommendations of the
secretary ought to be adopted with very lit
tie hesitation.

A MINED MIDDLE,

Il difference in the Cabinet Deer Post
Tradershfps Controlled By st. Paul
Firm.
Washington Special to Chicago Times.
There is chance for decided difference
in the cabinet, the parties concerned being
the attorney general, backed by the secretary
of war and the secretary of the interior,
against the secretary of the treasury. 1t is
all about post trader. About year ago
the commissioner of Indian affairs decided
the sutler at Fort Custer, which is on the
Crow reservation, could not trade with In
dams without license. 1t appearing that
he had no license, and was nevertheless
trading largely with the Indians, the mar
shall of Montana went to Fort Custer and
was about to seize his stock when the war
department interfered and forbade seizure.
This was in March or April last. The fact
was reported to the attorney general, and
there the matter rested. After six Or eight
months of dellberation that officer de-
cided that the trading acts were
clearly in violation of the Indian intercourse
laws, and ordered the marshal to seize his
goods as forfeited to the United States.
This was done accordingly, the military
making no resistance. The name of the
trader is Theodore Borup, but the party
principally concerned is A. Fl. Wilder, a
wealthy citizen of ST. Paul. Wilder is large
Iy interested in government contracts, trader
ships, and the like, aud owns, with other
personal property, dozen or more Con-
gressmen, who control a cabinet officer or
two. As soon as the seizure was made
Wilder set his men at work. Gen. Devens
proved to be very traotable. Two months
after he decided that the goods were clearly
subject to condemnation, and with no new
facts except such as were damaging to the
trader, he made an order that the suit
be discontinued. Il is said Secretary
Schurz and Secretary Ramsey concurred in
this order, but Secretary Sherman was not
consulted, and as secretary of the treasury, is
the only officer authorized by law to remit a
forfeiture, he could scarcely be expected to
relish this trespass upon his prerogative.
The surprising feature of the case is that
Secretary Schurz should have succumbed so
easily to the Establishments of Wilder and
his men. No one knows better than he the
objections to allowing suffers to trade with
the Indians; that it leads to their being en-
ticed to military posts for the purpose of
securing heir trade, and that when they are
there soldiers convey whisky to them, and
drunkenness, debauchery, disease and de-
ensue. In this case all of these
evils are said to have existed to shameful
extent, and violation of law fragrant. Blu.
the outcome is another blow square in the
face of the feeble, lettering notion that law
can be enforced against man worth 5,000,-

The Government Asked TO Right an In
justice.
Readers of the GLOBE will recall the sad
misfortune which befell Mr.. H. G. Stor-
dock during the great snow storm and &C.
we're cold weather in December last. Mr..
Stordock, as will be remembered, was lost
near Mansion on the st. Paul & Manitoba
road, remaining exposed to the terrible
weather some forty eight hours, freezing bis
feet and hands solid and badly frosting other
portions of his person. Since he has been
obliged to submit to the amputation of both
feet and hands. misfortune never comes
singly" is an old saying, and it now trans
pires that Mr.. Stordock, who had
been receiving a pension from the
general government, as slight
compensation for five years of faithful ser
vice IN the late war, during which his health
was greatly impaired, has had his pension
discontinued. Believing this action un-
just, and an especial hardship in connection
with his terrible misfortune, the leading cit
liens of Fergus Falls have united in a let
ter to Mr.. Washburn, the sitting Congress-
man from this district, urging him to use
his efforts to have Mr.. Stordock restored to
the pension roll. This letter was yesterday
supplemented by petition to the Minnesota
Senator's and Representatives in Congress,
generally signed by the State officials and
leading citizens of ST. Paul acquainted with
Mr.. Stordock, calling bis case to their atten.
ton and requesting them to use all honor
able means to secure the restoration of Mr.,
Stordock's name to the pension rolls as
matter of simple right and Justice.

ANOTHER RAILROAD GOBBLED.

The Chicago, Mii,caukee g. st. PauI Sc
cures Control of the Chicago d. Pacific
Road.
fChicago Tribune.
The latest railroad sensation is report
that the Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad COM
pany has scared control of the Chicago &
Pacific railroad. Although nothing definite
about the transaction has come to light, yet
everything indicates thst the report is true.
It is well-k1own fact that the st. Paul COM
pany was one of the bidders for this proper
ty, through Mr.. Edwin Walker, at the fore
closure sale last spring. Mr.. Walker bid as
high as 100000 for the property, but allow
ed Mr.. John K. Wrcnn, the representative
of John |. Blair, to take it fer $4,000. The
bonded debt of the road is %2,O00,OOO of
which amount MIR. Blair is said to hold ST.
100000. Since the time of sale the Mil
waukee & St. Paul has opened negotiations
with the bondholders, and it is understood
that it has secured all but the amount held
by Mr.. Blair. Whether MIR. Blair means to
sell out to the st. Paul company is not
known, but it is believed that negotiations
to this effect are going on, as Mr.. s. S. Mer-
riil, general manager of. the st. Paul COM
pany, went to New York two days ago for
the evident purpose of having a consultation
with Mr.. Blair. If The latter should remain
stubborn, the Milwaukee & st. Paul, it is
claimed, will make or has already made an
arrangement with the old stockholders to
redeem the property, as the time for re-
demption does not expire until May. In the
latter event the st. Paul company would
simply become responsible for the interest
ba do hoIl Nv Mr. lair Tn
event, the Milwaukee & st. Paul, it is claim
ed, is sure to get possession of the road. The
Chicago & Pacific railroad runs from this
city to Byron, ILL.,, distance of eighty light
miles. 1t was chartered February 16, 1865,
under the name of Atlantic & Pacific, and
was recognized under its present title April
30, 1872. 1t reached Byron in 1864, when
work was stopped for lack of funds In May,
1876, it was placed in the hands of a
receiver, and remained so until sold under
foreclosure May l, 1879. The purchase of
this road by the Milwaukee & st. Paul COM
pany will be of considerable interest to Chi
cago, as it will give this city another through
line to the Mississippi river, in connection
with the Western Union, or, as it is now
known, the Racine & Southwestern Division
of the Milwaukee & st. Paul. To make the
connection between the two lines the Mil
wankee & st. Paul will have to construct
thirty-four miles of new road from Byron to
Lanark. BY this new route the distance
from Chicago to Book Island will be 1875
miles, against 1S1 by the Chicago, Rock Isl
and & Pacifc-a difference of only fourteen
miles. The value of the Chicago & Pacific
to the Western Union cannot be sveresti-
mated, as it secures thereby a direct outlet
to Chicago, while at present it has its ter
minus st Racine, a point without any termi-
nal facilities

Freight Cars Smashed.

Yesterday morning at O'Clock q wild
freight, consisting of twenty-five cars, on
the Chicago, st. Paul & Minneapolis road.
met with an accident at Post Siding, about
two miles from this city.
The train, in charge of Conductor Finne-
gan, was coming down the grade, which at
that point is very heavy, when the coupling
of the third and eighth cars broke. Those
in charge instantly saw that unless some
thing was done bad smash up would re-
suit. Accordingly the engine was reversed
and the detached part of the train allowed to
collide. The collision threw five cars from
the track and completely wrecked them. A
force of men were at once put to work and
by o'clock the wreck had been cleared
away and the road opened for travel.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE AND THE
INTEROCEANIC CANAL.


The special committee of the House on
interoceanic canals has been holding meet
ing for the purpose of considering the appli-
cation of the Monroe doctrine to the pending
scheme for the construction of canal across
the continent by M. Ferdinand de Lesseps
under the patronage of several European
governments. There was q general inter-
change of sentiment between the members,
and it was found that they were unit in
the determination that the doctrine of nom
interference by foreign governments on
American soil must be maintained by the
United States, and some went so far as to
insist upon defending the principle at the
cost of war. 1t was also reported that the
state department was in receipt of advices
which prove that some time ago secret al
lance was entered into between Great Brit
ain, Germany and France, having for its
purpose the construction of the De Lesseps
canal without regard to the wishes
