Eastern Road the Bangor train. due at $3.50
o'clock last evening, did not arrive until 3
o'clock this morning. The train from Boston,
which was due in Portsmouth at 8 O'Clock,
did not arrive until s $50, and that due at $50

three in number. are stuck in the drift be-
tween that city and Greenland, and Large

An Estimate Prepared Of the Cost OF

Special Dtspatch to The Chicago Tribune.
New Yonk. Jan 29.-The HeraM's Wash
lngton correspondent says:
Commodore Je1ers has prepared a careful
estImuto of the cost Of equipping vessel to
'search for tho Jeannctte, which awaits the sig
nature Of Secretary Gof. He thinks the
Tinted Statos steamer Wachusett just the
vessel needed for the search. The cost Of fitting
her out will be 100000. The Commodore says;
I presume the President will send special mes
sage to both Houses Of Congress setting forth
substantially what Justice Daily has embodied In
his letter. The estimates and the viows Of the
Nnyy Department will accompany such
a message, so that there will be no
reason for misunderstanding the object OF
the appeal. Commodore Jeffers said: ave ex-
neoted to have to 70 In senrch Of the Jeanette

THE SAFE ROBBERY.

Recovery Of More OF the Money-Four
q: OF the Thieves Held to Bail.
Supt. McGarigle yesterday morning an
nounced the recovery Of $1, 1,049 more OF the
Union Iron & Steel Company's money, and late
in the afternoon he turned over to Mr. ]. B.
Stubbs, VIce-Presidant of the Company, ST.

last package WAS recovered through the pris-
oner, Thomas Finucape, and in precisely the

Gerry on Archer avenue. 1t was with consldera-
bic difficulty that FIuucane was induced to give
up this last parcel, for 1t was bis share Of the
plumber, and he hoped to deceive the police into
believing that the $4237 first recovered
by them was all he had. It
Is quite likely that the money first
recovered was the Cavanauxh brothers share,
and out Ut which they were to pay all the Incl
dental expenses. such As bush money to the
Hopkins brothers and others, who may have

IMMIGRANT RATES.

TIE CENTRAL AND ERIE FORCED 70 MEET
THE PENSsYLvANA's CUT.
Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29,-The result Of the
conference yesterday between the represent
atiyes of the New York lines and the Etnl-
grafton Commissioners with regard. to the
through travel for immigrants to. the west
has been to cause the officials Of the New
York, Lake Erie Il Western and the New
York Central Railways to demand that tue
Pennsylvania Road shall furnish schedule
Of its rates to all points in the West. aud have
ordered the agents for the New York lines to
sell Immigrants tickets at exactly the same
rate Of charges-naInely: on the basis OF Sooo
toChicago. 1thaving been found Impossible 10
stop the cut-throat business on the part OF
the Pennsylvania Road, the New York lines
have to meet it.
THE GREAT TROUBLE
Is that, while this reduction is hurting the
two lines above named, the Pennsylvania
Road can obtain the full rate of SIS from inl-
migrants arriving at Philadelphia BY the line
of steamers sailing to and from that port
should they desire to 20 to Chicago, with
corresponding rate to other places. new
feature is, however, likely to spring up from
this conflict which will be very damaging tc
the interests of all the lines involved. Ihe
profit Of immigrant travel is not worth much
consideration, although at full rates 1t helps
to pay expenses. But it, as is rumored on thu
street, the war should be carried into the
first class passenger business. the Pennsyl'
vania Road will suffer to a far greater exten
than they do now in regard to the innigran
business Should the rates for first class pas
sengers be
REDUCED TO TIE SAME EXTENT

bill will soon become law. Among the
many Au4tI%tA4CAh9 "1Ae~'A A&>~'

foreign vessels to be subject to the Inspection
laws Of the United States. When the bill
was first brought before the House itcreated
an unusual excitement in the shipping

foreign steamship agents, rs far as referred
to foreign vessels, was at once promulgated
in downtown circles. and the petition, aftel

New YORK, jan 29.-On Thursday and
Friday reports were current downtown that
the great importing and exporting firm of
Mayer Brothers, No. 10 Wall street. had sps-
pended. This the members of the firm en1-
phatically denied, saying that their only
trouble was a misunderstanding with their
specla! partners in Germany, and that nego-
tiations were IN progress which promised a
speedy Termination Of this difficulty In
any event, the firm would continue
as usual. On Thursday afternoon A1r.
Moses G. Hanauer, the junior partner, went
before Judge Donohue and asked for the ao-
pointment Of Receiver His application
was granted, and Dir. Henry D. Babcock was
appointed. To-day Mr.. Babcock qualified by
furnishing bonds in 100000. This firm did a
large business in iron, coffee, spices, grain,
and general merchandise. The failure was
owing chiefly to the sllrinkage in values OF
coffee and iron. No one IN this country Is
affected by the failure.
