The Northern Pacific.

ST. PAUL, August 24.-The North
ern Pacific track was completed yes
terday at three o'clock, the ends of
the track east and west being brought
together as close as desired for the
formal exercise of laying the last
rail. Back from each end a few rods
spurs were put in and the connection
made by a switch running around
the remaining gap. At the hour
mentioned the first train went over,
one of the construction trains, fol-
lowed almost Immediately by a train
which had been running west to the
end of track from Helena. The last
fifty miles have been put down in
less than twenty days, beating the
time set by the engineer, which was
Saturday at 3 o'clock. Telegraph
particulars received this morning are
That nine miles and 800 feet of track
were laid yesterday to finish at 8
o'clock. or, at the rate of IL or Is
miles for a full day. With the OPEN
ing of the road a large amount of
freight is expected to be handl. d.
Already several through shipments
have been arranged. The first being

A BRIGHT

The New York Tribune recently
published the opinions of a large
number of representative men on the
present business. They all agree that
@he outlook for the fall is exceedingly
bright. Purchases are, as a rule,
heavy, and collections prompt. ANY,
thing like a panic is out of the qus<
ton. Even the gentlemen promi-
nent in Wall street who have been
interviewed on the subject declare
that the recent fuzzy in stocks had
no influence whatever on the general
course of trade, and that nothing
likely to occur there will disturb the
almost universal prosperity. The
rumors about failures in the dry
goods trade happily prove to be with
out the slightest foundation in fact.
The Boston failures in the leather
business were the result solely of over
speculation. All the great banks are
sound, the crops are excellent, and
the foreign demand for our products
ia likely so be heavy. The Tribune's
review ofthe situation cannot fail to
allay whatever apprehensions may
exist as to the immediate future. It
was the right thing done at the right
time

great National Park-at least the
impression prevails that he ''took it

the magnificent hotel at Mammoth
Hot Springs, and when informed
that he could not see all the wonder
full geysers and return to the hotel
each night, and that it would be
quite as impossible to take the hotel
along with him. he Immediately left
for his home in New York. But he
said some good things about the
country even if he did not remain in
it long. TO a Fargo reporter he I'M
bosomed himself of the following:
Il should be willing to record my
self with some pretty specific predic-
tons about what the future of this
great empire will be. The trail of

tersheds of the continent run north

where he pleases, to run east and

great Northern Pacific. Those who
live a short time will live to see this

In commenting upon this policy thu
Omaha Herald very sensibly OBJ
serves: OF course the effect of the
adoption of this policy would be to
transfer control of Indian affairs
from the Interior to the War Depart
ment. So far as concerns that single
purpose, it would meet with almost
universal approval. The people of
the country are tired of a policy
which has made the frontier a battle
line tor fifty years, and has cost thou
sands of lives and many millions of
treasure. Of the details of the plan
it will be time enough to speak when
they are better known, and when the
fact is established that any such prop
osition has been made to the Indians
by authority Of the President or oil

former as a friend and supporter OF
Stanley Matthews, asks If there IS
any truth in the charge that Geuio
agreed to subscribe a large sum TO the
Garfield campaign fund upon the
condition of Stanley Matthews, APP
pointment to the Supreme Bench.
Gould replied denouncing the story q
mere fabrication and asserts he had
ne bargain of any sort, directly or m
directly with General Garheid.
Gould concludes the letter TINS: NY

Business Outlook.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Dun's Mer-
camille Agency report that nothing
has occurred during the week to al
ter the generally favorable conditions
which exist for autumn business.
Business throughout the country Is
well maintained, bank exchanges in
dicating considerable increase over
the corresponding week of last year,
and there are certainly indications
of increased activity at many leading
centers. The condition of the money
market seems favorable and the year
is certainly likely to be one of vast
production. The grain market has
been irregular, but at times giving
some evidence of strength, but all ad-
vances in price have been subse-
quently lost. Provisions are also
irregular with considerable fluc.ua-
lions, but closing weaker. The wool
trade is dull. Failures e orted in
the last seven DAYS, l65, against 10
last week: New England, %; Mid
die, 20; Southern, 80; Western, 4S;;
Pacific and Territories, 81; New York
City 4; Canada, 10.

Fe3eratiOu Of Labor Unions.

New YORK, Aug. 2l-The Foder-
alton Of Trades and Labor Unions
held their last session this morning..
It was resolved that the Federation
of organ lied trades and labor unions
considers the question of shortening
labor paramount to all questions, ana
demands the enforcement OF hours
on general and State Government
works. H. HI. Michigan, OF Chicago
was elected President of the Fedora
ton. A letter was received from
John Jarrett. President Of the Anal.
gamated Association OF Iron ana
Steel Workers, stating that the Penn
sylvania Association wonld not con-
meet itself with the Federation on
account of the position of the latter
on the tariff question. The 0 ana
steel workers favored the high tariff
It was resolved to answer the letter,
stating that the tariff question should
be igno ed entirely on account OF the
diversity of opinion on the subject
amOng the different trades unions.
The Federation then Adjourned.

It is stated that since the news has
spread abroad that Michigan Pro-
hibitionists have resolved to raise
500, 900 for campaign purposes, Re-
publican leaders throughout that
State are beginning to take each 9TH
er by the arm and talk confidentially
over the situation. Their general
tone of sentiment is that they always
did like the Prohibitionists, and they
are afraid that the money will be
wasted unless some practical and ex-
%perienced men-good men, of course
show them how to use it. The eff
feet of a 500, 900 campaign fund on a
Republican camp is very much like
the effect OF a circus near a darkey

The Drowning Accident.

WELLS, Me-, August 24.-Further
details of the drowning accident
shows that a party of fifteen or TWEEN
ty left the Bald Head Cliff House
Yesterday at 8 a. m. and drove to
Oqumquil beach. where they arrived
about IL a.. M, and entered the surf.
The undertow and surf were running
strong and a heavy sea prevailed.
Although warned of the danger in
venturing too far nearly the whole
party were swept out by the under
tow, and four drowned. Four others
were rescued in a critical condition,
but at last accounts were doing well.
The rest of the party reached the
shore safely. Rev. MI. Lutte, OF
Washington, D. c., succeeded in res
his wife and n child, but his
son Eddie was drowned. The full
list of victims is: Grseuough Thayer,
of Ncrth Cambridge, Mass; Miss
Emma Gould, Anaover, Mass; Miss
Stafford and Eddie Little,
Washington, d. C. Search is being
made for the bodies but without sue

The Eoening Post ~says:-Seyeral
important facts as well as rumors of
others, that may be more definite
soon, must soon have an effect not
only upon the stocks to which thew
refer, but to the whole market. The
first Of these is the movement of the
competition of the Northern Pacific
r. r. and the fact that a train Of cars
loaded with Oregon wheat, will at
once leave the Pacific end of the line
for the Atlantic states. The final
completion of the great enterprise
begun 20 years ago is of itself a fact
OF great importance, but the move
ment Of grain from Oregon to the At
lantic by the Northern Pacific and
from southern Colorado to New Or
leans indicates an era not only in
railroad business but in the shipping
interest.
There are also, and have been for
some time, rumOrs of an alliance of
some sort between Vanderbilt's and
GOuld's interests in the southwest.
Whatever foundation there may be
for these rumOrs, 1t is plain it would
be for the general profit Of all con-
cerned. Some recent rumnrs in re-
gard to the Denver and Rio Grande
probably originated in the diff :ulty
the Denver and Rio Grande Western
company finds in raising funds to
pay the September semi-innlal in
t-rest on its $6,157.OOO first nor gage
bonds. The Denver and Rio Il ande
Western is leased to the Denver and
Rio Grande 1T a rental OF 40 per cent.
of Its gross receipts, but it that is in
sufficient to pay interest Oh its bonds
the Denver and Rio Grande guaran-
tees the d. ticiency, whatever that
may be, made up so as to pay the Sep
TENDER interest. 1t seems not i'm
probable that these features may lead
to the transfer of the control OF the
Denver to either the Burlington and
Quincy or the Union Pacific.
