believe that stock would thrive in that
great western country. They lost sight

interests of the Dominion, in reply to q

that the successful handling of stock in
the Northwest territories was impractl-

knowledge of the country west OF Man

who had been over the territory, n

Everybody is saying that everybody is
moving from the east to the west. A
constant stream of emigrants is passing
through the Union depot bound for the
northwest. or for the Pacific coast. Moth
ing like it has ever been seen before. 1t
is not here and there heavy train load
Of people, but good many such train
loads everv day in the week. Many of
these emigrants are from Canada and go
straight to Manitoba by the St. Paul &
Manitoba road. Some are from all the
states in the north, east and south that
are going to the Pacific slope. A large
portion, however, of this vast throng of
people are going up into northern Min
nesota, the Red River valley and north
ern Dakota, where they will take up
lands and become tillers of the soil.
The roads running to the Pacific and to
the northwest Northern Pacific and

out every night immense trains loaded
with people. 1t is not unusual to see
these trains composed of fifteen coaches.
every one of which being crowded. On
Thursday night these trains for the north
west and the Pacific slope went out as
full as the cars could hold, and even then
some were left behind. Yesterday morn
ing the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
train consisted Of sixteen coaches, while
the Albert Lea train brought in two hun
dred more emigrants. The afternoon
train on the Milwaukee road, due in St.
Paul at 2:25, was six hours late. Had it
not been for this delay, there would have
been another overflow of emigrants that
would have caused the roads to do some
hurrying up to accommodate them.
Those who came up on the Albert Lea
route were mostly Canadians who left on
the St. Paul & Manitoba train for Winni-
peg, carly in the day. The speedy trans
ferring Of these people helped to relieve
the rush and crowd that came with the
trains from the east later on in the day.
A considerable number of Montreal gen.
tlemen, who are going out into the north
west to look over the country for them
selves with view of going up there with
a lot of emigrants, leftge>terday morning
on special train on the St. Paul & Man.
itoba road. To accommodate the crowd
of emigrants the Northern Pacific road
was compelled to borrow a number of
coaches from some of the other roads.
The royal route yesterday morning
brought in special train from Chicago.
The party consisted Of ITO, with,nine cars
of movables. These went right through
to Manitoba. The Royal Route is bring

the southwestern part of its line in and

of emigration to the points named is very
great indeed, and promises to be good
deal more extensive than it is at present.

WAITS OF WICKEDNESS.

Stephen Dunn, the American citizen
charged with the murder of Fletcher, a
Snowman, some three years ago, was
tried at the Ottawa, Ont, assizes yester-
day. Several witnesses were examined
by the prosecution, but their evidence
was either of such worthless or contra
dictory character that the crown prosecu-
tor, in the light Of the testimony, could
not think of proceeding with the case;
therefore Dunn was liberated.

Fftz John Porter.

The impression prevail in congressional
circles that the Fitz John Porter bill, now
lying on the speakers table, amended by
the senate, will not be acted upon until
after the presidential nominations are
made. The question whether the pres
ident will approve the bill largely de-
pends in the opinion OF democratic con-
gressmen upon his nomination at Chica-
go. If nominated he will not approve
the bill; if defeated he will approve it,
therefore the friends OF Porter believe it
better to let the bill rest until these
events are decided. If nominated and
elected and the bill passes next session,
there is little fear of presidential disap-
prOyal

well not to forget that the approaching
campaign for the presidency opens with
the advantages largely ON the democratic
side Republicans should not deceive
themselves by looking to the South for a
single electoral vote. With a fair elect
ion and an honest count, several South
ern states would vote for the Republican
candidate, but taking counsel from ex-
perience, no dependence is to be placed
upon either fairness in the vote or hon
esty in the count. Therefore republicans
must look to the North for the votes nee
essary to elect, and in considering can
didates this is not to be lost sight of.
