the prominent candidates aspiring to sue
coed Senator Angus Cameron, the GLOBE
correspondent made some inquiries Of him

gresham Price, who recently charged Mr..
spooner with being put forward BY the North

child as the representative Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad, Mr.. Spooner
said:
Mr. Prices horror and detestation OF CO.

He was not always as particular in that re-
gard AS for myself was for a number Of
years attorney for the West Wisconsin, and

nor are they or the corporation pushing my

between rival corporations is stuff aud non

the charge that Gov. Fairchild Is backed by

The WISCONSIN, CentraI.

lSpeclh lGieEfAln 10 the GlCDc.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE approaching CON-
pletion of the Wisconsin Central 10 St. Paul.
and its probable attitude toward the PROPOSE
ton to become a member Of the Northwest
ern Traffic association, furnish food for a
vast amount Of speculation and comment in
railway circles. II their contract with the
Milwaukee 81 st. Paul for an
entrance into Chicago is suf-
ficiently strong TO be unaffected
by the extension TO ST. Paul, it is safe TO say
that the new line win not join the associa-
ton until it has thoroughly advertised itself,
by precipitating war Of rates. The st.
Paul people say that the contract docs not
provide for an extension TO st. Paul. The
Wisconsin officials say that they are not en-
barrassed for want of a connection with Mil
waukee and Chicago. as 10 Milwaukee
business they say that their contract is valid
for twenty-five years TO come, no matter
what construction may be attempted to be
put upon its provisions. AS 10 Chi
cago business the question under
consideration by them is whether Il would be
profitable TO build their own line or arrange
with some other road for the use Of its track
into Chicago. Regarding the contract with
st. Paul, General Manager Finney says:
at certainly covers traffic between Mil
waukee and st. Paul, but perhaps not between
Chicago aud st. Paul Our request for q
clearly defined arrangement TO cover the
latter named business is now under consid-
Grafton by the st. Paul people"

Especial Telegram 10 the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Word comes from
New Orleans that the once famous steamer
Great Eastern, is on the way there with a
load of articles from England to be exhibited
at the exposition. 1t had been the hope OF
the exposition people TO get the foreign ex-
hibits transported by some naval vessels free
of cost, but, as this proved impracticablc,
they engaged the steamer for this purpose,
and win probably keep her at New
Orleans during part of the
exposition. 1t is even suggested that she be
made part of the diplay OF the exposition.
Her fame and attractions may not be as
great as when she came TO New York in the
closing year of the last Democratic presi-
dent, but good many people, it is believed.
would be glad of the opportunity 70 visit so
famous vessel. 1t is also suggested, and
this seems quite a practicable scheme. that
she be utilized as a floating hotel, as the ho-
tel accommodations OF the city viii, OF course,
be greatly crowded.
