LATE MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.

The peoples caucus in the Fourth ward
failed to make any nomination for alderman
last night. 1t was decided that no decisive
action should be taken until the Democratic
causus had placed some candidate in the
field, and should the Democrats conclude
to run ]. G. Mcfarland for alderman they
proposed to endorse his candidacy. The
Democrats meet on Tuesday evening and
the question will be virtually settled at that
time. The Republican scallawags who open
ly boast that they carry the vote Of the city in
their vest pocket, it is said prevailed upon
Mr.. j. T. Wyman to withdraw from the may
orality contest last night, and cards to that
effect will appear in the Tribune and
Pioneer Press this morning. That Mr.. Wyman
should have been thus easily bulldozed from
the track is at least a matter of more than
ordinary surprise TO his friends, who had
placed implicit confidence in his integrity
and sincerity. He accepted the proposition of
the people apparently offered in sincerity and
declared himself candidate for the mayor
atty and that he would now be be influenced
to Withdrew upon the arguments OF few
cranky Republican ultras is really more than
his most intimate friends can comprehend.
He last night declared himself in terms en-
phatic as against the candidacy of the traitor,
Geo. A. Pillsbury.

Manager Scott Talks.

"The newspapers may talk about the at
fractions of other seasons as much as they
like" said Manager Scott one day last week,
"but when you come to look at it you will
find that the list of good cards has been as
great at the Grand this year as ever before, if
not better. When it comes to comparisons,
you will find that we have had plenty of
frst-class attractions this season.
Of course we did not have such high figured
people as Patti, Gerster or Nilsson, and /
doubt very much if they would have played
to paying business if we had secured them.
Look at the dzzle in Minneapolis when the
Grand Opera fell flat
Compare, for instance, the cards we have
had so far this season with
the attractions of any other year.
We have played Cullough, Modjeska, Rhea,
Clara Morris, O'Neil, Margaret Mather, the
Boston Ideals, Emma Abbott several of the
best society dramas and spectacular pieces
besides two or three short seasons of comic
opera. Take this list of attractions and they
will hold their own with any other season.
1t is easy enough to talk and find fault but
quite another when it comes to proving wild
assertions

CHICAGO, March 8.-The situation among
northwestern lines has little of encourage
ment for lovers of peace and prosperity, and
calm survey of the excitement attend
ing fridays meeting has in a manner died
away, adds to the blackness of the prospect.
There is little or no prospect that the general
managers can be got together before next
Saturday, and if something is not done prior
to that time everybody will be freed from all
restraint to maintain rates. The Northwest
ern Traffic association will on that day begin
its final rest, and the war which must ensue
If nc association is formed to take its place
will begin. President Cable left to-day
for Colorado with the avoW ed purpose of re-
naming away until March 18th, two days
after his notice of Withdrawal expires. Gen
eral Manager Hughitt will return on the 18th
but will leave at once for New
York where he will remain about
ten days. Without the presence
of these gentlemen in Chicago some
time before the 18th there can be no posi-
bility Of arresting the progress of the de-
moralization which threatens. 1t is not pro-
bable that rates will be cut before the
dissolution of the association, but unless THE
UNEXPECTED should happen in the meantime
a lively engagement will begin at that time.

Mr.. ]. NJ. Hannaford, of the Northern
Pacific road, left Portland yesterday for St.
Paul.
The Chicago, st. Paul and Omaha road
has issued circular announcing the
appointment of G. J. Fowler as
agent of that road at Ashland Junction.
The car load of contributions from Walla
Walla to the Ohio river sufferers, left at s
O'Clock yesterday morning, and may be ex-
pected to arrive here about the middle of this
week.
The 'Royal Route' is circulating on small
slips the complimentary remarks made BY
the newspapers in regard to that road bring
ing the Mapleson troupe up here in four
teen hours from Chicago.
Mr.. Howard E. LANG, late general agent
of the passenger department of the Wabash,
has been appointed special agent of the pas
senger department of the Chicago Il Alton
railroad, with headquarters at Chicago.
Gen. Washburn says active work will be be-
gun within ten days on the first sixty miles
of the Sault Ste. Marie road. Steel has been
purchased for 100 miles of track, and it Is
thought the road will be carried TO the Wis
consin river this year.
The inquiries at the st. Paul Il Manitoba
road for emigrant rates are largely in excess
Of those of last year, and from the number
of acceptances it is evident that there is q
very large emigration in prospect. The peo-
pie are coming mostly from Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, New York and Missouri
Another reducti on in lumber rates to Dem
yer has been made to apply only from Mis-
sissippi river points. The new rate from
such points will be 80 cents instead of 81
cents, as announced few days ago. This
makes the same differential on lumber rates
to Denver as is now in force to Missouri
river points The rate from Chicago to Den
yer remains at 81 cents per 100 pounds.
General Manager S. 5. Merrill, Of the Mil
Waukee IL st. Paul, has issued q circular an

Artaxerxes, the king Of Persia, had given

forsake him." so he was ashamed to ask him
for 90 band of soldiers and horsemen

DISASTERS AT SEA,
A Bark Wrecked by IcebergS-Perils
of Winter Navigation.
ICDacio1 Talau-,r, 70 ~. rloI.

New YORK, March S.-The steamer Glou-
cester, which arrived at this port to-day after
passage of twenty-eight days from Bristol
reports exceptionally stormy weather all the
way over. On Feb. %, just off the banks Of
Newfoundland, the vessel was completely
surrounded by field ice, in which were
an immense number of icebergs, and
some of them as much as a mile long and
near 100 feet high were seen to the north
west. At O'Clock p. m. the captain finding
himself in clear water, the vessel was hove
to and so remained till daylight. The steam
er continued to the sonth until O'Clock
when she cleared the field ice and laid her
coure for New York. At 9 o'clocA
p. IN. on the 25th bark was seen
on the starboard bow with distress
signal flying. She proved to be the
Nova Scotia bark George Peabody,
bound from New York to Dunlark
with oil in barrels. The captain and twelve
men boarded the steamer in a small boat
The captain Of the bark said that on Satur-
day morning, the 23rd, they ran into ice be-
fore daylight. They succeeded in clearing
it on the 25th, but both bows
had been crushed in, and the rudder was
badly damaged. The vessel was kept afoat
by throwing over the anchors and chains,
and 500 barrels of the oil forwards, so as
to bring the injured parts out of the water
Captain Peters is of the opinion
that the burning vessel seen
by the officers of the Servia Tuesday
the Goth was this bark. Having been left
without any control, she probably rolled
about in the trough of the sea till fire from
the galley or cabin stove set the deck on fire.
The bark was seventeen years old and she
measured 500 tons. She was owned by

PHILADELPHIA does not intend that New
York shall be very much ahead Of it, at all
events, it proposes to keep up with the pro-
cession. The Bar Association of the Quaker
city have adopted resolutions requesting the
Justices of the Supreme Court to wear robes
while upon the bench, as they now do in New
York, and the members were unanimous in
approving the proposition. The Philadelphia
folks might dot point ahead of New York,
by adopting the old Knickerbocker costume,
tie wigs, knee-breeches, cooked hats and sill
yer shoe buckles. Why not let the common
people in for a share of dignity as well as the
''big Wigs'' of the Bench.

NEW YORK, March S.-A report was circu-
lated this afternoon that Mr.. Lewis Leland,
one of the proprietors of the Sturtevant, had
been confined in an insane asylum. The re-
port further read that in a paro1ism of
dementia he had recently attempted his own
life. Mr.. Leland was seen at his hotel to-
night by the GLOBE correspondent. He denies
that he is insane fact that his converse
ton and appearance fully substantiated. He
also denies that he was ever insane, was ever
confined in an insane asylum or had ever at
tempted his life. Moreover Mr.. Leland de-
clares he has no intention even in the most
remote future of ever becoming insane.

Tie Alson,s Erplnnation.

CHICAGO, March SIN reply to the notice
from the chairman of the st. Louis local pas
senger committee, complaining that the Chi
cage & Alton was charging the same passen
ger rate from St. Louis to New York, via
Chicago that the eastern roads out OF St.
Louis were quoting, and demanding that the
Alton should increase its rate 81, General
Passenger Agent Charlton, of the latter road,
has prepared an answer, in which
he denies the jurisdiction of
the st. Louis passenger agents. He
saws, we are not aware of any just ground
on which any one of our competitors, or any
combination of any number of them, are
entitled to ask higher rates than they charge
The reply also declares willingness on the
part of the Alton, to limit these tickets in any
wav necessary to avoid misuse. The com
plant made against the Alton grew out of
an arrangement it has with the West Shore
road, for booking through passengers.

THE doctrine is generally inculcated that the
Divine Being is no respecter of persons, but that
all who believe and do deeds meet for repentance
shall receive mercy and appreciation, which in
cludes salvation. But this idea is not accepted
by the reviyalist Harrison, who is conducting the
work of salvation and protesting to preach free
gospel at st. Louis. His meetings are held in the
Centenary church, and in the gallery and upon
the back seats the colored people who attend are

The condition of Mr.. Merrill, manager of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road, who
has been confined to his house for the past
three weeks, is causing a good deal of inter
est among those employed on the road, as
well as among the stockholders and patrons
of the road. There is no doubt that his ill
ness is somewhat serious, and many believe
that the worst has not been told the public.
He will leave tomorrow on trip to milder
climate. He will be accompanied by his
wife, his daughter Miss Marian, his youngest
son, his physician, and one or two others.
He viii take his special car and follow the

AMUSEM EN- rs.

The past week, has not been prolific in
producing anything of great or novel inter-
est in dramatic way, and the retrospect re-
calls nothing more enjoyable than the per-
Torrance of the ssPirates of Penzance," by
the Saltwater Choral union. This really ex-
cellent musical organization gave one of
the most delightful amateur performances
that we have ever witnessed and
the rendition was great success
from whatever standpoint considered.
The engagement of Frank and Henrietta
Chanfrau came to close at the Grand last
night, the play being the familiar and pleas
ing drama 'sThe Arkansaw Traveller" The
audience was by all odds the largest of the
engagement, and the performance was en-
Enthusiastically received and heartily applauded.
Mr.. Chanfrau has lost none of his old time
magnetism, aud he impersonates the gener-
Gus, brave and gallant southern gentleman
in a manner but little short of perfection.
The characters Of the judge and the major
fairly divided the honors last night, and the
famous duels with the Arkansaw toothpicks
was just as thrilling and realistic as ever.
The engagement was not the success an
ticipated, in point of attendance, for some
reason Mr.. Chanfrau not meeting with the
liberal reception usually accorded him.
At the matinee performance yesterday,
Mrs. Chanfrau gave the new
version of East Lynne" there be-
ing only fair audience. In speaking of
the play, it may be said that it has under
gone number of notable alterations at the
hands of the playwright, who has succeeded
in making much more interesting presen-
tation, the improvement in some instances
being pronounced. Mrs. Chanfrau ap-
peared as Isabel Vane, and her support was
acceptable.
The character of Isabel Vane demonstrate
ed more than all else the capacity of this
lady for finished, easy and graceful acting.
There was nothing forced in the impersona-
ton and the trying scenes were given with
remarkable tenderness and emotion.
1t was an artistic performance, and one
that was favorably received.

If this show, which opens an engagement
at the Grand tomorrow night, is
half as big thing as the
grandiloquent adjectives used to herald its
advent, and there is reason to believe that it
is, then it will lay over anything ever seen in
the minstrel line in this city. The play bills
say that it is colossal, cosmographic cyclic
pean confederation of minstrel talent. This
is laying it on thick, but to use popular
phrase, it goes. After the above we will not
be surprised to see even Haverly out do him
self.
After abiding to the attractions the bill goes
on to say that it is leviathian collection of
