morning, having Just returned from an ex-
tended trip. When questioned in regard
to the rumors OF Mr.. Wizards i'll health,
he said they were in great measure true,
for Mr.. Willard was far from being well.
When asked what truth there was in the
assertions that Mr.. Willard would resign
the presidency of the Northern Pacific
at the meeting OF the company on
next Friday, he declined to confess
that he knew anything. 1t is an open
secret, however, that the resignation is ex.
pected, and one gentleman said his physi-
clans had peremptorily advised il. Mr..
OakeS was asked if he should make re.
pert at the III Getting OF the company, and
said; "Ges, it is very possible | will, and
it ill be an interesting one; so much so
that it would not do al all 10 anticipate 1t
Oy any statements as to my trip through

Mr.. Horace White was called upon by the
reporter, and when asked to speak on the
subject of the above rumors declined to be

however, he finally said: Yes. the state.

He RENTED to him thirty days only, which
he thought be had earned by good conduct.

AFLoAT IN ROTTEN SHIPS.
The Canadian AuthOritics Denounced
for Negligent Inspection of Lake Ves-

TORONTO, CAN, December 3D.-The great
increase in the number of wrecks this sea
son on the Canadian lakes over other years
has called forth many unfavorsble COM
ments on the Canadian government. J. T..
Carey, president OF the local seamen's
union, addressed the trades congress, now
in SESSION here, on the subject and said
there were vessels now ahoat on Canadian
lakes SO rotten as 10 be unfit to cross a bay
in bad weather. Men were frequently
found during storms hanging to the rig
girg OF vessels on the lakes for sey
ergi days without assistance, there
beng no life saving stations along
the lakes. Tie bad condition of many
lake VC:sels was owing 10 the incompetenCy
Of the government inspectors, or their
neg gene. Insurance companies often
toHh risks on rotten old bulks, which were
sent out on Canadian lakes and frequently
wrecked. He complained, also, OF the
sani!ary condition OF the lake boats, anu
thought they should be regularly inspected,
as many a sailor has lost his life by fever
ontIaC,ed in unhealthy ships.
Resolutions were adopted by the Con-
gress Condemniug the holding OF lar.,e
trscks Of land by companies ard individ-
usl spectators: calling Upon the working
classes 10 organize and form trades councils;
affirming that stipendiary magistrates have
summary jurisdiction in all cases OF non
payment of wages, and expressing the
opinion that the working classes would
best obtain parliamentary representation
by constituencies being grouped with
cumulative votes.

renewed their dispute. Higgins pulled

that ws, aid be but an act of ordinary
courtesy, TO say nothing Of political equity.
Back of this intimation, moreover, is
sentiment among them in favor of taking
the candidate for the vice presidency from
the same section, and this is sentiment
that promises to gather force as time wears
on.
Messrs. Bsyard, Carlisle, Reagan and at
least half dozen other statesmen, would
probably see to it that some one would
probably be named for that position OF
whose national reputation there could be
no doubt, but the question is, could this
programme be adopted without affording
the Republicans plausible opportunity to
revive the damaging if not the fatal appar-
itiou of "Solid South?'
The subject is giving the leaders OF the
party here no little concern, and IL involves
so many delicate considerations, that as
vet they hardly know how to deal with il.
Mr.. Tilden and others, OF the more wary
politicians, are reported TO be struggling
with the question. Thel feeling is that rs
the Republicans have selected Chicago,
wise expediency on the part of the Demo
Crsts should dictate the choice OF West
trn city also. Especially as it is OF the ut.

ANOTHER STRIKE PROBABLE
Among the Table Glass Ware Workers
of Pittsburgh.

PirrspuRGH, december 3O.--The work
men employed in the glass factories in this
vicinity where table ware is manufactured
exclusively, have been notified of reduc-
ton of l2lI per cent. in their wages, to go
into effect next Tuesday. There are twelve
factories in this city, employing one
thousand men and about five hundred
girls. and as many mole in other parts of
tie West. The trade has been very
dull Tor long time, and manufacturers
ssv that unless the cost OF production is
reduced they will have to suspend opera
tiors. The workmen met to. day to decide
what to do. They have strong organiza-
ton, and the probabilities are that they
will strike. The last strike in this line of
trade was inaugurated in 1877 and lasted
two wears.

HOW sAN6ERsoN ESCAPED.
A Carefully Concealed SECTION Of the
Star Route Story Brought TO Light.


WASHINGTON, December 3O.-S. L. San
derson, one of the heaviest contractors in
the Star Route service during the period OF
the alleged frauds perpetrated upon the
Post Otice Department was indicted with
Dorsey, Brady snd others. The first in
dictment s.ninst him was imperfect In
the reindiCtmeut of the defendants all were
gathered in except Sanderson. Why he
was excepted has always been mystery.
He visited Washington soon after the first
indictment snd had a conference with
George Bliss, who then had full charge OF
the prosecution. From the date OF that
visit he was never moleSted. Not long ago
he was asked the reason for the mysterious
immunity shown bim. Sanderson answered
that his escape cost him exactly 100000.
He did no, go into any further details, nor
did he say to whom the money was paid,
thin king probably that his friend under
stood all that was necessary to know alter
his statement OF how much his immunity
had cost him.
A prominent lawer in this city, in COM
mentiDg upon the strange manner en-
plOyed in dropping Sanderson, called at
tentiOn to the fact that in the first batch all
o! the defendants were indicted by their
full names except Rerdell and Sanderson,
whose initials only were given, thus max
il g the preSentment against them void.
THIS lawyer said The error in drawing
the two indictments was one of such an
elementary character that | could only &C.
count for it on the ground OF unheard of
ignorance or corruption. My impresSlonls
that there was an evident intent to warn
Ssrderson of what be should expect. 1t
would have been too marked to have had
h,u stard alone, and so Rerdell was put in
with him to save appearances. 1ou will
notice that in the second batch Of names
the biunier Is corrected so far as Rerdell is
concerned, cut Sanderson drops mysteri.
ou>,y out OF sight, never again to appear to
the vision Of the prosecution
THIS stats ment by SsndersOn OF the
mount of money paid by him to secnre
immunity csn be testified TO by two good
WITNESSES if Sanderson himself should be
T, luctant 10 give evidence when the Con-
gressional Committee gets to work.
