The Tripartite Contract.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-The officers of the various
western roads are beginning to arrive here to
attend the meetings of the Tripartite Trans
Continental, Utah, Colorado and Southwestern
association in the city this week. Vice Presi-
dent Galloway, of the Union Pacific, arrived Fri
day. The Santa Fe he said, will enter into no
new agreements SO long as the tri-
partite roads will insist upon carrying
out those provisions of the tripartite
contract which require the eastern allies of the
Union Pacific to give the latter all their through
business, and allow the former to make rates
over the Union Pacific on such business The
Santa Fe claims to be entitled to share of that
business from the tripartite roads in Atchison
and Kansas City, and says it is bound to have II.
To accede to this demand Of the Santa Fe would
virtually abrogate the tripartite contract and the
Union Pacific, and its allies say they
cannot afford to do this. Mr.. Galloway,
of the Union Pacific, says that he is willing to do
anything in his power to aid in restoring
peaceful relations between the various lines, yet
his company cannot afford to violate the tripar-
tte contract and means faithfully to carry it out
as regards the withdrawal Of its Sioux City and
Pacific business from the tripartite association
by the Northwestern, and the contemplated ex-
tension OF that line Of it is the opinion that the
Northwestern can be prevailed upon to re-enter
the combination by securing desired concessions.
The principal difficulty therefore to be overcome
will be the settlement OF the tripartite complica-
tions, and those complications are of such a
serious nature that but little hope is entertained
that harmony can be restored.

ARTHUR'S CABINET.
Already Beginning to Speculate on
Their Probable Futures-The
Full Roster.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The members OF
President Arthur's cabinet have already began
making arrangements for the care Of their re-
spective futures after the 4th Of March next.
Secretary Frelinghuy sen is perhaps the only cab

his political future. Living in the Democratic

either Blaine or Cleveland, he will be compelled,
therefore, to gracefully retire TO private life
Secretary Chandler, Secretary Teller, Secre-
tary Lincoln and Postmaster General
Gresham are accredited with senatorial
aspirations. Chandler, who tried for
Rollins place and was defeated, intends to take
a turn for Blairs-that is, il Blaine declines to
retain him in the cabinet. His first fight will,
therefore. be to retain his present position.
Chandler is the craftiest man in the cabinet. He
firmly believes that the Republicans will control
the next house ard senate, and that Blaine will
be elected. He just as firmly believes that
Blaines foreign policy will scare the Legislative
DEPARTMENT. Of the government into the building
Of a large navy. He ha. had three years ex.
perience as secretary, and has had a chance to
make some valuable acquaintance in the line
of handing out contracts and other minor details

otherwise he desires to be elected to succeed
Senator Blair. Gresham is said to be looking
with longing eyes on Senator Voorhees, seat
but he labors under the disadvantage Of the en-

Governor Porter his colleague, should the Re
publicans gain possession Of the Indiana legisla

A POOR SHOW FOR RAYMOND.
Especial Telegram TO the Globe.

FARGO, D. T., Sept. II. Some sixty dele
gates and proxies left on the Fargo Southern
for Pierre tonight, representing most of the
counties of north Dakota. The fare of many
of the Raymond men was paid by his friends.
One OF them was heard to ask another:
''Who are we for, for second choicea''
The reply was: ''You blamed fool, don't
talk about second choice until they give you
your ticket"
Interviews with many of them show that
most Of them have no hope of the nomina-
ton of Raymond, and will only give him a
complimentary vote. 1t is conceded by all
who understand the situation and influences
at work that there is hardly a possibility of
Raymond's success. Very few of his friends
in Cass will go to Pierre. His workers are
chiefly postmasters and officeholders.

The Damage Not so Great as reported.


EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Sept. 14.-The city is
recovering its wonted serenity, and except
for the absence of the bridges across the
Chippewa and the few dilapidated buildings
in the low lying districts Of the city, there
are few indications Of the great flood. Every
body now realizes that the losses have been
overestimated, and especially by special cor
respondents sent here by newspapers Of
other cities. The heaviest loss is by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway,
which will fall under S150,000. In the city
aside from the loss of that corporation and
the city's bridges, s1OO, 600 will replace the
damage. At public meeting held to-day it
was voted as the sentiment of the citizens
that no aid from outside sources are needed.
The authorities and public spirited citizens
are amply able and willing to relieve every
case of distress by reason of the flood. The
steam ferry, provided by the city, will be
running Monday.

ROBERT HOE.

Biographical Sketch of

Specia! Telegram to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Sept, 14.-Mr. Robert Hoe, of
r. Hoe 81 Co., died yesterday at his summer
residence in Tarrytown, on the Hudson.
Mr. Hoe was born seventy years ago in
New York, and was the son of Robert Hoe,
an Englishman, who came to the United
States in 1903 from Hose, in Leicestershire,
and founded the business house of r. Hoe 81
Co., the well known manufacturers of print
ing presses. When quite young man Rob
ert Hoe, with his brother, Richard NJ, sue
ceeded to the business estab-
llshed by their father. He was
always public spirited, liberal
minded citizen, identifying himself with all
that was for the best interests Of his native
city and country. While an active member
Of a number of business corporations, he
also gave much of his time and means to in
dividual charities. 1t is doubtful whether
one of the more than a thousand hands in
the employ of his firm can recall harsh or
unkiud work spoken by Robert Hoe. Mr..
Hoe was of a quiet and retiring disposition,
and although taking much interest in politi-
cal matters, never sought any prominent
public position, although he served
as a member of the committee of
seventy organized In 1881 to reform the city
government. He was a member Of the Fifth
avenue Presbyterian church, and leaves a
widow, one daughter and one son. Mr.. Hoe
lived in Tarrytown during the summer for
the past sixteen years. For the last year OF
two he lad not been very strong. Two weeks
ago he was attacked with malarial fever and
never rallied. Mr.. Hoe was fond OF art, and
gathered fine collection of paintings. He
was every ready to help on young artists, and
was one of the early promoters Of the Ma
tional Academy Of Designs.

PIERRE CONVENTION.

The Chances Said to be dead Against Ray

Hard.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l

PIERRE, OAK, Sept 14.-The forerunuers
nominate a delegate to congress, began to
arrive tonight. The convention does not
convene, however, until Wednesday the 18th,
yet the leading politicians of the territory are
upon the ground and have already COM
menced active service. They are Hon.
Alex McKinzie, of Bismarck; Judge Moody,
of Deadwood; R. s. Pettigrew, of Sioux
Falls; Sam McMasters with his barrel of
the homestead mine of Deadwood; :;
Maj. A. W. Edwards, of Fargo, and w. Nc
Intyre, Of Watertown. This bids fair to be
by all odds the greatest convention ever held
IN the territory. Every available room in
the different hotels and all the outside rooms
are already engaged. Combinations of every
character are being formed and John B.
Raymond, the present delegate to congress,
from the present observation stands a very
small chance of being renominated. The
candidates mostly talked of tonight are A.
G. Msllette, OF Watertown, Sam McMasters,
of Deadwood, j. W. Shannon, of Huron,
and Gen. Allen,s of North Dako a.
1t is conceded that one of
the strong Raymond men, and
by all odds his great support, has figured
in this convention for him. John King, of
Chamberlain, has been severely set down
upon by his own party so that he is not dele
gate to the Pierre convention, and will not
visit here to work for Raymond. All the
old heads, both in north and south Dakota,
are plotting against Raymond, and it is re-
ported so desperate became his chief worker,
Capt. Gray, that in the Huron county con-
vention yesterday Gray manipulated proxy
into the convention who introduced a reso-
luton supporting Raymond. 1t did moi
work, however, and the gentleman was given
a chance to withdraw his mo-
| ton, which he did. Raymond's
friends are working zealously, however,
and by tomorrow may change the out
look materially in his favor. The entire
north Dakota delegation will arrive to-
morrow by special train from Fargo and al
the delegates are expectep from the south.
The gathering of the delegates are thirty-siz
hours earlier than ever before in any Dakots
| convention.

He may become ayalicious and then

deteriorated in much greater degree
than would have bsea the case if they
had not been exposed to the action of

period of life when the young mind is
expanding most rapidly; the time when
they are most susceptible to impress
sions, whether fer good or evil; the
time when there is the greatest relative
proportion Of living matter, compared
with formed material, and hence the
time when the greatest number of
drunkards are made; the time when the
precepts of parents and Others are mere
powerful for good or evil; the time
when sickness most abounds; and the
time when alcohol in all lis upas-like

serpent-like fanss, coil their shiny folds
