WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE foreign affairs
committee referred to the subcommittee
the joint resolutions of Representative
Newberry, providing for joint committee Of
the Senate and House, to investigate the al
legged false and fraudulent proof and statistics
used before the Halifax fishery commission,
and providing for joint commission by the
United States and Great Britain.
The House committee on appropriations
agreed to report favorably the bill making an
appropriation to prosecute the search for the
steamer Jeannette.
The committee on Territories authorized
Senator Saunders to report with a recommen-
dation for passage of the bill creating the Ter
rltory of Pemblna, to consist of the northern
half of Dakota.
The Senate confirmed John F. Hartranft as
collector of customs, Philadelphia, and
Charles H. Langley postmaster at Upton,
Iowa.
A prominent Democratic member of the
Senate privileges and election committee
thinks investigation ought to be made Of Gen.
Arthur's birth place. If after consultation
with Chairman Salisbury the latter agrees
with him as to its importance, he will intro
duce resolution in the Senate to order an in
vestieation.

The slight difference in the charges by
the two roads is explained by the fact
that the Chicago & Northwestern
has not as many miles Of feeders or
branch lines in that State as the Chicago,
Milwaukee 81 st. Paul. The same de-
crease is probably shown in this State.
The policy element is shown through dis
elimination, the great bugbear to anti
railroadists. That the State is benefited
when this element is brought into action
requires but single illustration: A
manufacturing interest is starting in
new territory. Labor of all kinds, espe-
cially skilled, is higher than in the local
ity of. other factories. The investment
in measure is an experiment. Conse-
quently capital is worth more per annum,
and the commodity produced has to COM
pete in open market with the products of
an established institution The interest
of the railroad company is to favor and
foster the enterprise in its infancy, look
ing forward to the increase of business
through it's works and the increase of
population that it brings with it, for the
pay. The failure of all legislation in
attempting to regulate freight
rates is due to the signal fact
that those who do the regulating cannot,
through very force of facts, act knowing
ly or even blindly wise. They are not
willing to seek information from those
who do know, nor will they acknowledge
their ignorance. The same men, how
ever, when sick send for physician, and
employ lawyer to attend to their bust
ness in court. Why won't they advise
with railroad men about the railroad
business of their constituency! **

George Hazard, referring to the NJ. &
ST. L. road, hung out placard yesterday,
reading: "We are wide open; leave this
afternoon on time" The NJ & st. L.
road has been blockaded nine days. Its
opening will relieve the scarcity of coal
for railway use on the st. p. &. NJ. line
The l. 6 M. division of the NJ. & St. P
road was in full operation yesterday.
The H. & D. division was opened yes
terday to Brownton, the next station be-
yond Glencoe.
Mr. Boyden, the NJ. 6 P. general freight
agent, who was ordered out west the very
day the blizzard opened, has been snow
bound now for ten days.
Mr.. George K Barnes, the lately ap-
pointed general passenger agent sof the
Northern Pacific, is to leave Chicago flor
ST. Paul Monday next, and will probably
enter upon his duties the following day
The eastern divisions of the ST. Paul &
Omaha line, including the branch lines,
are again in good working order through
out. On the western divisions the
blockade was strengthened by high wind
and light snow Thursday At II A. NJ.
yesterday the ST. Paul division was open
ed to St. James, and last evening it was
reported that passenger train from
Sioux City had reached St. James. The
Blue Earth branch and the Sioux Falls
branch will probably be opened to-day,
though work on both was necessarily sus-
pended during the young blizzard of
Thursday.

Freight Rates.
To the Editor of the Globe.

10 the Editor OF the GlODe.
Railroad freight rates embrace larger
number of factors than probably enter
into the solution of any other BUSINESS
problem, consequently every rate is
affected by circumstances which cannot
be governed by any fixed rule or law
The elements that enter into the ques-
ton of rates are, mileage, bulk of traffic,
gradient, cost of permanent work, prox-
unity or remoteness of fuel, traffic eX-
penses as compared with value, the
necessity of hauling empty cars, facility
for handling commodities, terminal ia
cilities, certainty of traffic, condition OF
the market at home and abroad, and
many more that none but an experienced
and intelligent railroad man can be IA
miliar with
A line of thousand miles in length
should not give to mileage the same
importance that must be given to it by a
road which has length of but twenty
miles, and thus the value of each item
which enters into the charge must vary
according to the circumstances of the
case. Justice and diplomacy also con-
stitute an element. That true sense of
the former is felt and understood by rail
road men cannot be better illustrated than
bv the statement of the State railroad
commissioner of Wisconsin, showing, as
follows, the gradual decrease, from year
to year, of the charge made per ton per
mile for moving through and local freights
by the two great roads of the West:

BULLDOZING.
A Strange Case, According to the Com

A Strange Case, According to the Com
plant, Pending in the District Court
The case of James Perry against W. J.
Mcmahon, action for $4,000 dana ages,
was called for trial in the district court
yesterday afternoon. According to the
testimony this was the boss instance of
bulldozlng of the season. The parties
Defendant is land owner, and in 1880 he
farming purposes.
With marked and curious cunning de-
fendant was at first satisfied with a yer-
bal contract, but after Perry had taken
possession of the farm he was induced to
sign an instrument, the conditions of
which entirely nullified the verbal agree
ment Perry, who is an ignorant man
with large family, signed the papers,
supposing the terms were the same as
previously agreed upon. By dint of
hard work he and his family raised fair
harvest of wheat and oats, all they had
to depend on for subsistence.
One day in November, 1880, before the
crop had been sold, McMahon broke into
their barn and carried away the entire re-
suits Of the harvest, which consisted of
wheat and oats valued at $4,000. This
left the family without the means of SUBJ
sistence on the threshold of weary win
ter. Not content with this, he stopped
one of the lads while on the way to town
with load of wheat, threw him from the
cart and appropriated the produce. He
also had couple of the family .incarcer-
ated on the charge of larceny. After
languishing in Jail for several weeks they
were discharged by the grand jury. Mr..
G. D. O'Brien appears for the plaintiff
and Judge Flandrau for defendant The
defense set up an entirely different state

Sneak Thief Trapped by Lady.

Yesterday afternoon Miss Hand, prin-
cipal of the Adams school, detected a
dapper- looking young fellow prowling
around in the toilet room of the school.
The courageous little lady locked the
wretch in and sent for an officer. Bailiff
Dowlan escorted him to the court, where
he gave the name of q. Ward, and he was
sent up for thirty days on the charge of
vagrancy. During: the past few weeks
several hats and coats have been stolen
from the cloak room of the school, and it
is thought they caught the right party
Capt. Clark held seance with Ward,
the result of which was that he became
convinced that some of the goods stolen
had been pawned at the second hand
store, seventh and Cedar streets. Officer
Rouleau visited the store, and succeeded
in recovering three of the coats. Some
action should be taken with regard to
the custom, which has grown to such
proportions recently, of permitting deal
ers in second hand goods to receive stolen
property. AS rule, ignorance is no ex-
cuse, as the dealers are cunning enough
to know the nature of their customers.

THE OIL MILL FIRE.
The Debris Still neutrality-suspicious.
from Friends of the Killed.


1t almost invariably happens that in a
calamity such as resulted from the explo-
sion of the oil mill last Thursday, several
days follow prolific in incident and inter-
esting detail. In this instance the de-
struct1on was instantaneous and complete.
There was neither anti-climax or finale
simply an awful flash, as though the por
tails of perdition had yawned, anG then
horrid memory. Yesterday the fire
continued to rage in the debris, and
some than ever.
A stream of water was conveyed from
a spring on the summit of the hill to the
ruins with great difficulty. 1t was en-
ployed with great success in subduing
the flames, which by night had subsidized
in intensity 1t is still hoped that the
remains of the unfortunate men, John
Muey and John Pietri, may be recovered
intact From practical view, however,
it is more probable that the remains of
the poor fellows have been absolutely
cremated.
If the men were in the rear part OF the
building at the time of the explosion, it
is possible that the bodies have not been
reached by fire; in this event they will be
recovered within day OF two. Mr..
Schurmeier put a force of men at work
Yesterday, and as soon as the ruins cool
off the work will be proceeded with.
Yesterday kilograms were received by
