JOHN 7. GAIaE RGMlNATEp FOR DELEGATE
TO CONGRESS.
SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

tSftNlAL IL 1hE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Mr. Armstrong,
Com missioner of Railways in the Interior
Department. who has just returned from
8 trip over the Pacific roads, found in
San francisco a good deal Of complaint
against the charges of the Union and Cen
trail Pacific roads, and more particularly
against the so-called Boycotting contracts,
which are intended to compel all mer-
to ship exclusively by railroad, and
so drive the competing ship lines out OF
business. The Pacific Mail is subsidized
by the railroad companies to prevent Its
competition, in order 10 drive sailing YES
sells out of the business. The roads charge
much higher rates TO merchants who send
heav w freights by sea than they do to mer-
chants who send only by rail. The special
contracts for 1881 went a step beyond
those of 1880, and prohibited the beneticl-
aries of them even from selling to those
who did not enter into the special con-
tracts. Armstrong thinks the complaints
of local points Of the Union and Central
Pacific roads, that they are
against, are Of a piece with the complaints
Of all local points, because they do not get
so good rates as the terminal points, and IL
inclined to think that the Objectionable
special contract system is the lhevltaoie
part of the competition. On these points
he expresses himself with reserve, and
seems impressed with the magnitude OF
the questions involved in the freight
rates and Determinations, and especially
with the vulnerable points of all the
,.La,oo, 80 y,vo~nrpapta TpunIatfDn.
Whether he will make any recommends
ton in his annual report is doubtful,
but he has made some effort to collect
information on the subject, and Is likely
to present the facts in his report, ana
give the public q chance TO draw their
differences.
Foster and Ex-Governor Young.
NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE Times Column
bus special says: There has been for
several years a GOODNESS between Governor
Foster and Ex-Governor Young, at present
a member of Congress from Cincinnati.
Young predicted the defeat of the Repub-
lican party directly after the Legislature
passed the Sunday law. He has of late
been very loud in his denunciation OF
IbSleI, VI dtCDuub VI HlS hohV a6aiho9 eHS
liquor traffic as now conducted. Yester-
day Foster received the very remarkable,
if not insulting, telegram from his prede-
cessor:
C~1NcINNATI-To Charles Foster, Gov
ern0r: Congratulations on your only VIC
tory in any rebellion. What do you think
Of your achievement The Grand Army
Of the Republic recognize your efforts IN
behalf of the soldier element of our party,
and the Germans in this and other cities
in Ohio will ever appreciate your services
in their behalf. (Signed)
THOMAS L. YOUNG.
Foster replied as follows:
Columns tO)-To Hon. Thomas l..
Young: Your telegram is received. Your
irony is excruciating, but a brave soldier,
when sober. is not apt to insinuate cow
ardice in others. I am happy over the
fact that I made a square, honest fight for
the taxation Of the liquor traffic and the
Sunday closing of saloons. Upon these
questions l shall not take a backward step,
and will fight it on this line. l deny your
right to speak for the Grand Army or the
Germans upon this subject. (Signed)
CHARLES FOSTER.
1t is believed that these kilograms will
be instrumental in stirring mp a bitter
strife between the Garfield Republicans
and the stalwarts, and that this is but the
beginning Of d stalwart war on Foster, in
order to kill him az a candidate for the
Senate a year hence, shonld the Repnbli-
cans gain control of the Legislature next
Fall.
Capt. Webb's ~Sens"tiOnaI Feat.
Boston, Oct. 14.-Capt. Webb has per-
formed the sensational feat Of remaining
100 hours in a tank of fresh water at a
temperature of eighty-fve degrees. He
lost twenty-six pounds during the
time. He was allowed only fifteen min
utes in twenty-four hours in an ante
room, eating, drinking, sleeping and
smoking in the bath. He made a bet at
the conclusion of the performance last
night that he could stay another twenty
four hours. His time will be up at 7:45
tonight. He is immersed to the neck.
Brady Sells the Capital"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Brady's sale of
the Sunday Capital indicates the expert
ment Of using ins~trumentalities of that
sort to assail those who have opposed the
Star Route methods has not proved salts
factory, successful or profitable. At the
time the Star Route trials began he owned
control of three newspapers here, the Re
publican, Critic and sunday Capital, and
he rests under the suspicion of having paid
considerable subsidies to one or two other
newspapers in consideration OF an agree
ment that he should not be attacked by
them.
