To the Collector OF Customs.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2S.-Sscretary Gresham
has written letter to the collector of Gus
toms in New York in regard to transporta-
ton without examination by bonded express
companies of passengers baggage, in which
he says:
The act of June 10, 1880, was clearly in
tended 10 give to specified ports of destina-
ton privileges accorded to ports on the sea-
board. Constituting the act Of 1899 in con-
nection with the act of 1880, and in harmony
with its spirit, am of the opinion that the
phrase, with the collector of the district in
which the articles are intended to be landed
by the owner thereof" may be interpreted
to mean, the collector of the district to which
the passenger and his baggage are destined.
Baggage passengers destined for ports speci-
fed in the seventh section of the act of
1880, may, Therefore, be forwarded
without examination under locks and seals
by the express companies bonded for trans
portation, unappraised merchandise upon
entry based upon the sworn declaration OF
the owner or his agent, and you are instructed
to take action accordingly. This interpreta-
ton will greatly oblige large portion of the
travelling public BY exempting them from
vezatious delays at sea ports. tits clearly in
harmony with the spirit of the statutes, and
does not endanger the revenues. IL it be
found the contents of packages do not agree
with the sworn declaration, the penalties can
and will be enforced at interior ports of des-
tination, as well as at the seaboard.

trip'to Chicago.

a,meeting Yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of coming to an understanding in re-
gard to passenger rates between st. Paul and
Chicago, and perfecting the stipulations un-
der the managers agreement recently deter
mined upon in Milwaukee. They came to
no definite conclusion and will have another
meeting to-day.
1t is rumored among railway men that
there will be some important changes in the
Union Pacific railway management Nov. 1.
1t is understood that S. V. Smith, now gem
eral superintendent of the Kansas division
will be transferred to Omaha, with enlarged
powers also that Col. j. NJ. Eddy, late of the
Texas Pacific, viii be appointed to the next
position under Mr.. Smith, with headquarters

Duluth so far this season no, 600 barrels of
-four, and by the time of the close of naviga-
ton will handle 125, 900 barrels in addition
to the above. making S35, 900 barrels for the
season. Most Of this goes to foreign ports.
Besides this -four the same road has received
$500, 900 bushels of wheat and shipped 81,
100000, leaving 100000 at Duluth in
elevators. A considerable portion of this
goes to foreign ports. This is independent
of the -four and wheat handled by the North
ern Pacific road.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Burr and a
jury in the police court took up the case of
G. NJ. Baker, charged with resisting special
officer Mike Ryan, in the Union depot
yards, on the night of the 18th inst. 1t will
terrible beating TO young Baker, the latter
having been laid up from the result of the
treatment ever since. On the night named,
Baker and several young men were return

reached the depot Baker remained
in the car, having fallen asleep. He was
discovered in the car after the train had been
switched into the yard, and Ryan was called

to the attack made by Baker on him.
The testimony Of the accused was mega
tive in character. He testified that he re-
membered nothing of what had taken place
in the car; his first recollection was finding

ing attended the accused aud he described
the wounds as very serious and calculated
to make the recipient insensible. Several

ST. PAUL NEWS.
THE POLICE COURT.
The Poor Wretches Prefer the Work
house Rather Than Honest
Work.

Martin Cans is what may be called swift
youth; he is so swift, indeed, that couple
of more bad breaks will probably end his
brilliant career in the penitentiary. AS a
boy he was unruly, impatient of parental or
other restraint and incorrigible: as young
man he looks upon the wine when it is red,
goes home drunk and abuses his aged pa
rents, who are in all respects worthy people.
He was before the court yesterday on COM
plant of his father, and the hearing was
continued until to-day. He was committed
in default OF $3.50 bail
In the small hours of yesterday morning,
Mrs. Cleat, residing on East Sixth street,
heard some one enter her room. The next
moment, Harry Clark, colored man, who
roomed in the house, approached her couch
and attempted to caress her. She screamed,
and ne went away, and shortly afterwards he
was arrested by Officer Daily. Clark WAS ar
raigned yesterday on the charge OF attempted
rape, but the count was changed 70 assault,
and the examination was put off uat:l to-day.
The accused, who has been on the spree for
some time past, and who has been regarded
hitherto as decent fellow, was released on
bail of $500.
James Scanlon went to party in the Sixth
ward the other night and there was great
doings. BE danced with the girls and guz-
zled beer with the boys and enjoyed himself
hugely He is said to have also combined
business with pleasure for when he departed
the sum of $42 skipped too, and he was ar
rested for the theft. The case was called
to-day.
Tom Laherty was charged with doing the
begging act; he is chronic yag and the
copper stated that when he couldn't work
the free lunch counters, he went into the
streets and held out an itching palm for aims.
He is one Of the seeds from which no good
fruit can grow and he was sent to the quay
for thirty days just to keep him out OF mis-
chief.
Allen DeCaster, another seeGy vag, was
found prowling around half-fnished build
ing at a. m. Yesterday.
The police think that he is one of the gen.
tIcmen of the shade who work the tool steal
ing act and he went up for thirty stretche
on general principles.
George Todd was charged with the larcen Y
Of u door frame and some lumber from Pat
Mcdonald. The case Was continued until
to-day.
Hannah Beuteen, the venerable ruin, had
been parly2ed on the old stuff again and she
went to the joint for sixty days.
young man of good connections stood
before the court with bloodshot eyes and g
frame palsied from drink. He was up only
week ago and promised to brace up if re-
leased but the temptation was too much for
him and he was arraigned again yesterday.
He was sent out for twenty days in order 10
get the bulge soaked out of him.

A Granger Roped In at the Union
DEPOT to the Extent of $3.50.

A sad eyed granger from the billowy prair
les of Dakota quaffed glass of lager at one
of the down town shrines OF Bacchus last
night, and related to gaping crowd how be
had been biIked out of $50 on the ole, old
confidence racket The sad eyed man
woukn't give his name for he said he didn't
care about his folks knowing Of it and besides
the boys would have the laugh on him.
He was en- route home from the east aud
while sitting in the Union depot yesterday
afternoon he was approached by couple Of
nice Young men who got him to engage in
conversation and then asked him to take a
walk. They. walked around town, bad sew
eral bowls and then it transpired that one Of
the young fellows had just bought farm
near the residence Of the granger aud was
shipping q lot Of machinery out
After awhile they became confidential and
the fellow who had bought the farm requested
the hurry handed son of the turf to cash a
check for him and the old man parted with
his wealth and received in return bit of
hco-doo paper. He reported the affair to
the police and last night snoozer named
Matt Walker was run in on suspicion OF be-
ing one of the ''con'' men.

souri, Rirer.
Passenger rates between Chicago and Mis-
souri, river points having reached rock bot
tom more than week ago, and none of the
roads being willing to make a less rate
through to Missouri river points, there was
no chance in making any new moves as re-
CARDS rates. There being fears that if mat
tiers were allowed to remain in this eondi-
ton, and new steps being taken to force the
war to a final issue, a movement is now said
to be on foot which will force the fight into
fresh channels. It is stated that the Bur-
lington is now preparing time tables to run
extra fast trains between Chicago and Kan
sas City, and also TO establish a new pas
senger route between Chicago and
ST. Louis via Rockford, Rock Isl
and st. Louis line. The Burlington has
been in the freight business between Chica-
go and St. Louis for some years past but
has run no through passenger trains between
the two points. 1t is the opinion of the Bur-
lington people that by making extra good
time they can successfully compete for the
st. Louis passenger traffic. The putting on
of fast trains between Chicago and Missouri
river points by the Burlington will compel
competing lines to take the same action and
subject some of them to great inconvenience.
1t is the opinion that this new movement
will force speedy settlement of the St.
Louis and Kansas City passenger wars.

The Baltimore d Ohio and the Illinois Gen.
fIdI Road

Mr.. Samuel Spencer, second vice presi-
dent, ana Mr.. Orland Smith, third vice
president, of the Baltimore & Ohio, have
just arrived in Chicago to have
a conference with the officers of the Illinois
Central regarding the renewal of the lease
for using the Illinois Central tracks and
grounds between Grand Crossing and the
Central depot. AS already stated there is
dispute between the Illinois Central and the
Baltimore d. OHIO regarding the life of the
lease. The Illinois Central claims that the
lease, which was made Nov. 1, 1879, was for
five years, and consequently terminates Nov.
l next. The Illinois Central, therefore, in
accordance with the stipulations of the lease,
notified the Baltimore 81 Ohio that unless a
renewal of the lease was made by Nov. it
would no longer be permitted to use the Hi
nos Central tracks and terminal facilities.
On the contrary the Baltimore g. Ohio
claimed that the lease is perpetual one and
consequently took no action in the matter
up to the present time; but the Illinois Cen
trial being determined to GUST the Baltimore
d Ohio, these gentlemen came on to Chi
cago 10 consult. 1t is the opinion that the
matter viii be amicably adjusted.
