The Northern Pacific at the San Francisco
Conference-A Mistaken Frisco Idea of
IFS Strength

The Northern Pacific at the San Francisco
Conference-A Mistaken Frisco Idea OF
It's Strength.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 21.-At the open
ing of the second meeting this morning
of the railroad managers, W. J. Potter, of
the Burlington & Missouri road, offered
the following resolution, which was adopt
ed: sit is the sense of this meeting that
the several roads now concerned in the
traffic between the Eastern states and the
Pacific coast should be worked in harmony
and upon equal rates." This. resulted in
the formation of committee composed of
several of the freight managers, with in
structions TO devise plan whereby the
earnings might be pooled and
distributed among them in such proper
ton as would be equable to all. They
then adjourned to Monday next. Among
outsiders the feeling gains ground that the
Northern Pacific will continue to maintain
the Independent position attributed to its
relying upon the good offices of the Union
Pacific to sustain it in its demands, al
though more than can be expected from
the Central Pacific, against whom the fight
is chiefly made for those two particular
roads. Besides this the Northern Pacific
representatives know they have better
chance to make good bargain now than
they would have after disastrous winter.

IT is reported that there is an internal
warfare in progress in the Minneapolis
Journal Office between the editor, Mr.. Geo.
K. Shaw, and the business department in
charge of Mr.. Nimmocks. Shaw, by his
violence and Incorporate abuse of st. Paul
has utterly ruined the Journals business
in this city. Shaw wishes to support
Washburn while Nimmock favors Fletcher.
Washburn has always been violent OPP
porent of this city, while Fletcher is in
clined to bill and COO with st. Paul like
a turtle dove-at least until the next re-
publican convention is held in this con-
gressionaI district. Shaw has pursued
such policy that the Journal can give no
aid to Fletcher in st. Paul as no one here
will accept copy of the paper as gift.
The Nimmocks brothers are practical and
hence they propose to bounce Shaw. 1t is
further reported that Shaw and David
Blaksly are endevoriug to induce Mime
apolis capitalists to raise purse to en-
able them to star. another paper.

THE GLADIITOR.
The r -ldition of the Character of Sparta

The f. rdition of the Character of Sparta
Gus ), John Mccullough Last Evening
The acre mention of that great and
singu-.r play, 'The Gladiator" calls to
mind the rugged and massive strength of
its gifted exponent, the lamented Forrest,
and the allusion is not intended to be in
vidious, as no achievement of the present
day ia this particular, can dim the lustre
of that fame with which this piece was so
heroically identified.
The mention is therefore not inappro-
pirate, when it is considered that McCul-
Gus last night, was pupil and a disciple
of Forrest, and upon his shoulders it has
been said, had fallen the
manila OF the departed actor.
The character OF the gladiator is cast in
heroic mould, in an era of the worlds his
tory when barbarian Rome was ruled by
savage tyrant5 more brutal in their in
stincts than the vandals whose incursions
made the empire but little better than
scene for the shedding of blood at the ex-
ercise of the worst passions of man.
The Opera house contained an immense
audience last night to witness Mr.. McCul-
lough's portrayal of the character and the
imper>onation was more suggestive of the
tragic power and grandeur which have
been associated with his name,
than anything presented dur
ing the present engagement
The eEsellenca YVES not, however, uniform,
and or'y at times did he seem to merge
his ide ltity into the character and become
the strrag and daGntless freeman, smart
ing unU-r the scourge of hatred and ty-
ranny. ne scene in the arena was mag
nlfcent its force and grandeur, and the
subseq,r { tent scene and the parting
with P...sarius were marked by great
beauty.
The character Of Phasarius was taken by
Mr.. Collier, gentleman who is admirably
adapted the role in paint of physical and
his impersonation was very enjoyable.
Aside from slight tendency to rant in
the hurried passages, this 'gentleman's
work during the engage
ment has been very fine.
The character OF Sonora was given in a
graceful and artistic manner by Mrs. Eos.
ter and the Julia of Mrs. Allen was &C
ceptable. Mr.. Price made splendid part
of Crassus, while the support was very
good throughout. The engagement closes
with the matinee performance to-day, when
"Julius Caesar" will be given with, a
strong cast.

back at me just as the
engine whirls past, and my heart is in my

out their administrations of the smallest
emotions of common humanity. When
these gentlemen held executive power they
had their opportunity to obliterate in their
own way the Tewksbury crime and they
were appealed to take the case in hand.
Mr.. Wendell Phillips, among others, asked,
in the name Of humanity, that the Marshes
be removed, but no heed was paid. This
true son of the common
wealth denounced the Tewks-
bury bEutalities with the force of his mas
terly eloquence, but he might as we'll have
spoken to ears of stone. Ex-Governor
Talbot was recently urged to accept
nomination. So was Hon. Henry L.
Pierce, but both declined to stand as can
didates against Butler. Talbot, because
he did not dare face his record with the
Marshes. Pierce, because he would not
undertake to defend the Republican rot
tenness in that connection, as he would
not vote in congress to steal the presidency
for R. B, Hayes. But the Republican con-
vention found a man in the person of Geo.
d. Robinson who was willing to run on the
Tewksbury issue, for that is all the issue
there is.

The Dickey County Bank Failure.

telegram from Fargo to yesterday 3
GLOBE announced the suspension of the
Dickey county bank, at Glendale, D. T.,
and an attachment for $1,000 issued by
the capital bank of st. Paul. The Dickey
county bank was private bank with
about $4,000 capital, of which W. r..
Becker is the president and A. A. Handy
cashier. A call at the Capital bank yester-
day elisted the fact that they are amply Sc
cured and will not loose a dollar. They
re-discounted some $4,000 of we'll secured
paper, and the attachment gives 50 much
additional security that there is a hand
some margin to come and go on. The
depositors in the Dickey county bank are
pretty likely to lose in the neighberhood
of 100 cents on the dollar. In fact the
failure might be styled par for the depos-
itor.

JUDGE EDGERToN evidently does not
care to force the Bismarck music since his
decision against the capitol commission.
He accordingly abandoned the Willard ex-
cursion train on its return before it
reached Bismarck, and will probably come
through that city on foot in the night and
take the train at some way station between
that point and Fargo. He need not have
been alarmed. The people of Bismarck
do not attach any importance either-to
him or his decision.
