The Minnesota & Northwestern to-day

will leave West st. PHul and is for various
points on the line. The whole will amount
10 about eight or ten car loads and is mostly
goods sent by jObberS. Though the com

shape yet for handling traffic, it will con-
tinue to receive freight from now on at

terday General Freight and Passenger Agent
Littell of the line received a proof sheet of
the first flyer of the line. 1t is a very hand
some one. At the head in large letters is
the Waterloo Route" and Just below is
the drive wheel of an engine which looks
like the rising sun on a steel track, down
grade, bound for Chicago. On the wheels
are the initials of the Minnesota * North
western, Illinois Central, Chicago. Burlington
x Quincy and the Chicago and Iowa roads.
The flyer gives the information that two
trains will run each way daily between ST.
Paul and Chicago, and that the line, after
Aug. /. will have direct connection for any
point in the United States or Canada. Fol
a while, at first the trains viii run only in
twenty hours from St. Paul TO Chicago, this
continuing until the track is in sufficiently
good order To allow faster time TO be made.
Those wishing to see the country along its
route, though. should go over the line while
the slow time is being made, for when the
fast schedule Is inaugurated telegraph poles
will be made to appear like one continuous
picket fence.

THE sIrRRATr NIovENJFNT

The movement set on foot by BRICK
PoMERoY to erect a monument over the re-
mains of Mrs. SURRATT at Washington
suggests the singular coincidence that
LOUIS j. WEICHMAN received his appoint
ment as civil service examiner in the Phila-
delphia custom house just twenty years to
the day from the date of Mrs. SURRATr's
execution. WEICHMAN was the principal
witness against her, and chiefly upon his
testimony the unfortunate woman was sent
TO the scaffold. The statement made by
PoMERoY that ''all the members of the
military commission that condemned Mrs.
SURRATT are dead except Judge Advocate
General HOLT, and that majority of those
who are dead committed suicide" has
started an investigation from which it is
shown that majority of the members of
the military court are still alive. and those
who have passed over TO the other shore
died natural deaths. Gen. LEW WALLACE,
late minister TO Turkey, was a member
of the court, and is one of the nOisest
living men in the country. JOHN A. BING-
ham, late minister TO Japan, and whom
Gen. BUTLER used TO taunt in congress as
icing VI INNOCENT
woman" was assistant prosecutor i'm the
case Among the other noted characters
in the famous trial were REvERDY JoHN-
son, Col. FRED AIKEN and JOHN l..
CLAMPITT, who were counsel for Mrs.
SURRATT. REvERDY JOHNSON was after
wards senator, attorney general and minister
to England, and died full of honors. Col.
AIKEN became noted Washington Jour-
nalist, but how sleeps in lakewood cemetery.
Mr.. CLAMPITT still survives. Gen. Tom
EWING and WALTER SOCK, both of whom
are still living, were counsel for the other
conspirators. Gen. Ewing became promi-
nent in Ohio politics, while Mr.. Cox mounted
the supreme bench in the District of Column
bia in time to preside over the trial of the
assassin GUITEAU. A singular incident in
connection with the matter is that DR..

MILWAUKEE, July 1s.=-C. 3. geyht,
president Of the Illinois Millerss association,
was in the city to-day. He has just re-
turned from = trip TO the British Isles and
saws that the stocks of flour i'm
Europe are less than generally supposed.
Spectators, however, had become fright

failure of the crop i'm this country. When
the present crop is harvested and threShed,
Mr.. Feyhtis of the opinion that.the English
spectators will find the damage had not been
over estimated. and the demand will advance
prices considerably. The present year has
been a bad one for European mills. On the

through bankruptcy and other causes.

THERIvER CONVENTION CALLED

One of the first acts of Gov. HUBBARD
upon his return from the North was to is
sue the proposed call for convention of
the states and territories interested in the
upper Mississippi and Missouri and tribu-
tary river region, as suggested by the
chamber of commerce and the state COM
mission on river improvements. This
action is timely and to the point. As had
been pointed out by the GLOBE, the upper
river region has been subordinated to the
lover until the former seemed to have no
rights which the latter was bound to re-
spect. OF the S150, GOO. 900 expended for
the improvement of rivers and harbors but
1.-THE has been applied to the great produce
ing region of the Northwest. On this point
the governor makes a strong statement of
the situation, as follows:
The people of the upper Mississippi and
Missouri valleys, comprising the states of
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas Nebraska Iovva
Wisconsin, Minnesota and the territories of
Dakota and Montana. stand pre-eminentlv in
need of immediate relief from exorbitant
transportation charges, which render produc-
ton Improbable and the fruits of industry
expensive to the Eastern and foreign com
merce. III Is therefore deemed wise and
proper at this time that the people of the
Northwest, now producing the bulk of the
nations food, as well as its exports, should
formulate most earnest demand upon con-
gress for such appropriations of money as
may be required to insure, at the earliest day
practicable, the opening of our rivers 10 an
untrammeled commerce to tide water.
The GLOBE cordially indorses this terse
statement of the case. The states and ter
ritories enumerated have been all but ig-
nored by legislators in congress. despite the

A young man named Frank Madden was
badly stabbed ON Rice street bridge about IL
o'clock last night. a little before that time
he was in Mrs. PeterSon's saloon and got
in a row with some of the Rice street

Madden left the saloon the men followed
him and one of them treacher-
Ously stabbed him in the back.
But one cut was inflicted,
the knife entering the small of the back,
Just over the right kidney. \ doctor was
Immediately summoned, who dressed the
wound, after which Madden was taken TO

took up the Harp of Life one day
And swept my fingers over the strings,
And the sound. as the music died away.
Still through my heart at intervals rings.
One chord that touched was loud and bold,
Like strong mans voice in cheerful lay.
But Death came by with his hand so cold
And the sound of music passed away.
Next came the treble notes of pain
Like far-of call OF one distressed;
And it seemed to sob again and again,
And then it died away to rest.
Then came the warm, rich, loving note
That told me of something more than pain,
Ard round me while il seemed TO float;
But the string l was pressing snapt in twain
heard the discord harsh and loud
OF malice, hatred. envy and strife,
And wept to think that some fearful cloud
Was settling down on the Harp Of Life
L stopt. But the strings still hold that sound
For those who wish on that harp TO play;
The music is still as easily found
As IL was when / tried that harp one day.

IThe Pail Mall Gazette,s Editor.

From the Toronto World.
William T Stead, the editor of the Pail
Mall Gazette, is central figure in English
journalism to-day. He has dictated English
foreign policy of late more than any other
man. He is of the ''slasher'' type, full of
earnestnesS. He met Chinese Gordon at
Dover, talked over the then situation in
Egypt, returned to London and wrote the
article which compelled the government to
send Wolseley to GOrdon's rescue. He got
up great scare recently as to the condition
of the English navy, he is strongly for Rus
STA, and is supposed to be powerful factor
in that section OF the Liberals opposed to
war with Russia. Mr.. Stead is about 40
years of age, slim, wiry, nervous man,
with push and energy stamped upon his
brow. The son of a Congregational min
lister, who was born at Howden-on-Ty
aud at first toated on the world as junior
clerk in shipping office. AS he matured
from youth to manhood his literary talents
developed and were admired and appreciated
outside of his local circle, so much so that
he was offered and accepted a position on
the Northern Echo, a daily published at
Newcastle. From junior reporter he rose
to the position of editor, and during the last
general election he rendered valuable as
sistance to Mr.. GladstOnes cause by his
vigorous and pointed articles against the
DISraelian administration. His articles in
the Echo stirred up all the border burghs in
favor of the grand old man. and after the
vigorous campaign Mr.. Gladstone expressed
his appreciation of Mr.. Steads assistance in
a kindly-wOrded note. This was the turn
ing point of Steads career When John
Morley accepted the editorship of the Pail
Mall Gazette he chose Mr. Stead as his first
lieutenant, and so faithfully and success
fully did Mr.. Stead fulfill his duties that

A student at Harrow one day politely
went TO the assistance Of stout farmer on
horseback in difficulties with gate lock-
Thank you, my boy" said the farmer who
was one of the wealthy AIiddleSeX graZiers.
"What may your name be-" MY name
is Green" returned the boy. 'And what
is your father?" ''Oh. my fathers a cheese
mOnger." said the smart scholar, chuckling
internally at his ready wit; land he lives
in London in the Theobalds Road" I'm

name of Green was advertised for. whose
father kept a eheesemOnger's shop in the
Theobalds Road, and who, in return for
politely opening a gate at Harlow, was left
a large legacy by the wealthy farmer, re-
Gently deceased. So ran the advertisement,
but the student, now youthful profess
siOnal and greatly in need Of money, could
not answer it. nor prove his right to the
legacy. For neither was his name Green
nor anything approaching it. nor had his
father, a quiet country gentleman. ever,
even in tie remotest fashion, been inter-
ested in cheese. The young barrister now

had been less witty and more truthful

CHICAGO, July 1s.-The freight tonnage
report to the East for the past week marks
a decrease of 1,6O1 tons, and total of 49,
391 tons. There is nothing in this to show
what effect the new tariff may have had, or
will have, on freight, except that the pros
pect of an advance does not stimulate ship
ments. The following is the tabulated re-
port from the Office of the joint agent, and
includes the tonnage of the articles named,

Pool Matter requiring Settlement

The Colorado tab association west of
the Missouri river, which was to have met
with the Colorado Utah association east of
the river at Commissioner Midgley's Office
at Chicago next Tuesday. will not meet.
owing TO the inability of General Traffic
Manager Stubs of the Southern Pacific
company to be present. The roads east of
the river will meet. however, and make eff
forts to settle their difficulties. The trouble
is caused by the notice of withdrawal given
some time ago by the Milwaukee IL St
Paul, which road is dissatisfied with
the percentages awarded by the arbitrator.
This notice OF withdrawal expired July l,
but the Milwaukee * st. Paul has agreed
to a continuance of the pool until Aug. 1.
If by that time the difficulty is not settled
the pool will cease to exist. As there is an
agreement that in case the pool east of the
river is broken up the pool west of the river
shall also cease to exist, both pools will
have to stand or fall together. 1t has been
the impression lately that the Milwaukee Il
St. Paul is inclined to make such cOnees-
sions as to make the further continuance of
the pools possible, but owing TO the cOmpli-
cations that have lately arisen between the
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the Northwest
ern regarding the st. Paul business to
Duluth and Washbun, it is likely that one
OF the other of these roads will refuse TO
settle the ColOradO-Utah matter unless the
