A PROMINENT COLORE D MAN.
-------Ss--
MORRISON WANTS HELP.
The President Will Not Give the
Great Free Trader Any Aid.

opecldl 10 the tlODe.
WASHINGTON, April H.-COngressman
Morrison of Illinois, the DemOcratic-caucus
nominee for the United States senatorshIp
from Illinois, is expected here in day or
two. He is anxious TO interpOSe the power
of executive patronage TO enable him 10
COMPASS his election. Vigorously put, Mr.
Morrison wants the president to provide
offices for certain Democratic members Of
the legislature as an inducement for them
to vote for him. 1t can safely
be discounted in advance that the president
will not engage in any such traffic. He is
quite anxious that a Democratic senator
shall be elected by the Illinois legislature,
but to have such selection brought about
he does not propose to set aside a number
Of offices as rewards Of merit. The undi-
yided opinion here is that if Mr.. Morrison
would withdraw from the senatorial
race a Democrat could be elected
in forty-eight hours. Such is the
opinion expressed to-day by an Illinois con-
gresham whose judgment is sound. 1t ap-
pears that there are a number Of Democrats
in the Illinois legislature who will not vote
for Morrison because Of his pronounced free
trade views. With Morrison out Of the way
il Is believed that Gen. Black, commissioner
Of pensions, could secure an election.
Upon one thing the president Is
fixed, and that is not to
distribute the patronage Of Illinois in way
which will ever give rise to the suspicion
that he seeks to affect the senatorial strug-
gle. Hence Mr.. Morrison will meet with
no encouragement when he comes here if
he seeks TO draw the president into cornpli
cations now existing in Illinois and which
make it appear ON the face Of things i'm
possible to send the great free trader to the
United States senate.

The ScaIpers, SauabbIe.

The first pitched battle among the scalp
ers occurred Yesterday. Although war was
not formally declared, the rival forces met
and contested their rights in the vacant yard
adjoining P. II. Kelly's wholesale grocery
store. By the reports that were current it
appears that on Thursday night Dave Grau-
man, the well-known scalper, put ON his
pleasantest oily smile, and after talking to
Mr. Kelly on the business outlook asked
him what he proposed to do with the vacant
spot between his store and Riley's cigar
stand. The answer being simply ''Noth-
ing" he was offered $1,000 by Dave to
lease it to him for year to do scalping
business on. This proposition MI. Kelly
readily accepted, and the money was paid
down.. The transaction was soon nOised
about, and committee from
the Omaha and Milwaukee roads
called Oh Mr.. Kelly and informed
him that Scalper Grammar intended to work
lu favor OF the Albert Lea route, and that
leasing the ground to him was discrimina-
ting against the companies they repre-
senUed. OF course Mr.. Kelly had not
thought Of this, and wanting to be on the
good side of all the roads, told Dave it was
mo CO." and protested strongly against any
such action. Dave said he was working for
David Grammar, ESQ.," only, and could
prove it by papers. Yesterday morning
Mr.. Grammar had out a force of carpenters
to erect building, and Mr.. Kelly got out
an injunction restraining operations. About
an hour later Scalper Grammar appeared on
the scene with another contractor and more
men and set them at work. posting Maurice
Heffey, the heavyweight champion, at a
corner as protector. Meanwhile Mr.. Kelly
organized team of men from his store and
got Officer Cook from the union depot to
head his force. They marched out of a
back door in military STYLE and as the word
was given charged the enemy and in few
minutes landed them in the middle of the
street. Grammar went to his lawyer about
the affair and will undoubtedly shove the
case. The fight, it would appear, is not
among the scalpers but in reality among the
eastern-bound lines, which are backing
their favorite broker at distance. The
fight is not over yet and some racy develop
mentS will be made.

WHERE UNCLE SAM STANDS.
If England or Russia Wants Ships,
What Are We Going to Do
About 1t!

Specldl 10 JDe GlODc.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-State depart
ment officials have recently inquired care
fully into the responsibilities and obliga-
tons of this government under the neutral
ity law. and under the treaty requirements
in the event of war between England and
Russia. The department would not inter-
feTe at present with any purchase in this
country of army explosives or ships for
either country, or with the fitting out Of
war vessels for either at American ports.
1t is extremely doubtful, however, whether
either England or Russia could purchase or
fit out war vessel at any ship yard in the
United States and succeed in clearing for
foreign waters. Under the neutrality law
this government is required to prevent the
departure from an American port of a yes
sci unfriendly to nation with which the
United States is at peace, after an actual
outbreak of hostilitieS. 1t is also respon-
sible for the departure Of such vessel
pending any effort, in time of peace or war,
to detain her by legal process under the
neutrality law. Under the construction of
the law. it is stated in official circles that if
either England or Russia now purchased a
war vessel at an American port, a
representative of the opposing country
could appeal TO the courts to prevent her
departure. The United States would then
be responsible for her detention pending a
decision. a delay of several weeks would
result disastrOusly. The prospect Of
such a delay at critical time necessarily
forms a strong argument against the pur-
chase of American ships. If declaration
of war was made before the case was de-
cided in the courts it would then be out Of
the question to permit the departure of the
vessel, no matter what the decision might

THE English diplomats have made the start

sadly in need of Russian discipline. The
ameer, after the Cossacks had given these
rebellious subjects touch of the treatment
they may expect from the Russians thinks,
too that their stubborn spirits might the more
easily be subdued by the iron rule OF the
MuscOvite authority. And the ameer and
the English regard the country at best as not
worth fighting for. So it seems that there is
not much likelihood of war. Later on the

oN1MET ON THE INDIAN WAL

ONIMET ON THE INDIAN WAR.
From Col. ONnET of the SiXty-tifth
Montreal volunteers, who stopped in st.
Paul for short time on yesterday, the
GLOBE is gratified to receive a denial of the
press report sent out from Montreal that his
regiment had refused to proceed against
REL. Col. ONIMET states that his regi
ment is loyal to the government, and is
ready to move at any time and will perform
its part in crushing out the half-breed re-
bellion. He, however, admits that blood
being thicker than water his men would
prefer to fight against full blood Indians
than those who have French blood in their
veins: but, Notwithstanding the sympathy
they have in this direction, ne claims that
the soldiers of the Sixty-fifth will recognize
their loyalty to the government they serve
and in obedience to the commands of that
government would move against their own
brothers if called upon to do so.
Col. ONIMET is member of the Cana
dian parliament, and is now on his return to
Ottawa to confer with Sir JOHN MACDoN-
AID about Northwestern affairs. AS soon
as his mission is accomplished he will re-
turn to Calgary to take command of his
regiment. Col. ONIMET's opinion is that
the government will crush the rebellion and
that the true policy is to throw sufficient
force into the Saskatchewan country to
crush it out at once. Owing to the natural
difficulties presented by the roughness of
the country and its remOteness from lines
of travel and communication the half-breed
Indians have it in their power to annoy the
government with a guerrilla sort of warfare
for long time unless there is force large
enough thrown into the territory to- crush
them in the beginning. In order to save
bloodshed the colonel will advise the Cana
dian government to offer terms to the half
breeds and induce them to lay down their
arms and abandon their rebellion. Then,
he says. the policy for the government to
pursue will be to negotiate a treaty with the
Indians, in which their rights shall be clearly
defined and set forth, and then to keep a
| force of regulars in the territory, just as the
United States does, to compel the Indians
| to live up to their part of the contract. His
opinion is that in keeping the Indians in
subsection a small army of regulars is
worth more than the whole dominion full of
volunteers.

The Milwaukee Decentralization.

The Rock Island road. has joined in the
cut in grain rates from Chicago to Omaha,
with the Milwaukee & st. Paul, and now
announces a rate of 80 per cent. below tar
if which is 80 cents per 100 pounds first
class. The second class tariff is cut from
10 cents to 40 cents, and the lower grades
in the same proportion. The cut grows
out of lively competition with the North
western and the Burlington, which began
some months ago. The claim was
made by the Burlington and also by the
Northwestern that the Rock Island and
Milwaukee were cutting rates on the quiet
and they retaliated in the same way. Mat
tiers went rapidly to the bad and resulted
in an open declaration Of war. Railway
men predict long and bitter struggle, as
both the Northwestern and Burlington viii
use the present opportunity to renew their
fight in the Western Trunk Line assOcia-
ton. The cut thus far is only on west

CHICAGO, April IA meeting of tn e
general managers and freights agents of
lines interested in Council Bluffs and
Omaha traffic was held to-day, haying been
called to consider the present demoralized
condition of local rates ON freight from and
east of the Mississippi river and those
points The business was formerly pooled,
but the agreement expired Dec. 81, 1888,
and was not renewed. When they
meeting opened everything moved along
most tremendously. The provisions and
governing rules had been agreed upon, and
the association was looked upon as fixed
fact, so much so that the question of COM
missionership was under discussion when
adjournment for lunch was had. Upon
reassembling however, there was new
development. Mr.. Marvin Hughitt of the
Northwestern appeared upon the scene and
negatived, on the part of his road, all that
had been done. He would agree to no pool
that only included local business up to the
Missouri river Of course this was a fire
brand. 1t was treading on Western Trunk
Line associations ground, and harmony and
pools became a thing OF the past
Mr.. Hughitt's position, as it is
understood, is that his road
will not enter into any agreement until
some conclusions are reached upon the TIL
partite troubles and the justice of the
Northwestern's attitude conceded. AS a
consequence to-day'S efforts came to naught
and freight rates between points east of the
Mississippi and Council Bluffs and Omaha
will remain in ratified condition.
