The Difference Between Two
TranscOntinentaI Lines.
In addition to the S120 booked ticket, in
Guiding all expenses, west of st. Paul by
the Northern Pacific to the Yellowstone
for parties, including rail and steerage
transportation only. These are the same
as are announced in the Union Pacific cir
cular. but the contingent expenses are $50
less via st. Paul than via Omaha and the
Union Pacific. The actual expenses by the
Union Pacific from Omaha are S157 for the
round trip, via st. Paul $13S. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that from Chicago
and points east to Lower or Fire Hole
Basin and central points in the park, the
distance by st. Paul and the Northern Pa
cific railway is 381 miles less than via the
Union Pacific, and the time required for the
round trip is four days less than via Omaha.
Not only this, but by the Northern Pacific
line ia miles less of stopping is necessary
to complete the trip, with saving Of $27.
The principal hotel at the park
is only seven miles from the
terminus of the Northern Pacific.
In circular just issued by the Union Pa
cific is a paragraph which reads as follows:
lone or the most remarkable and 1mpoS-
ing features by our line is the delightful
prelude of ninety-nine mile stage ride
from Beaver canyon, which in itself is
nearly as enjoyable to the tourist as the
park is But by the route of our northern
competitor after arriving at your destina-
ton by ran, your journey has only eNn
menced. You have long and tedious
stage ride of fiSsy miles or more, SHOULD be
forty-twO mies which, when ended, the
tourist is done out" The circular has
caused considerable amusement wherever it
has been read, as it cannot be seen why a
stage ride of forty-two miles is more tedious
than stage ride double that distance. The
Northern Pacific though in referring to the
Union Pacific's delightful prelude has con-
cluded that when the Park branch is COM
pleted it can dispense with its prelude and
put passengers down at Fire Hole basin
with fifty-seven miles less stage haul. The
roads from this end of the park are better
than ever before. The Northern Pacific
passenger department has been assured by
Lieut.. Kingman that the roads from the
Northern Pacific are much superior to
the roads from Beaver canyon.

Manitoba Railway Country.

c. III. Warren, general passenger agent
for the Manitoba road, returned yesterday
from Northern Minnesota and Dakota. Mr..
Warren's trip was one of business, though
any work he had to accomplish became quite
enjoyable to him when he noted the pros
perity of the farmer. These worthy people
are engaged breaking the land for seeding.
The acreage to be sown this year in the
Northwest will show slight decrease over
that sown last year, though the general
condition of the ground. which at present is
better than at this time last year, gives
promise. with the aid of favorable weather
from now on, of producing much larger
yield to the acre than there was last year.
The amount of wheat sown by the farmer,
though. exceeds what they intended
last fall. the principal reason being the adj
vance in price. Mr.. Warren met gentle
man who had just returned from a
tour around the Turtle mountains for
the express purpose OF finding
out what the attitude of the Indians and
half-breeds is ON the Canadian uprising,
and whether any intended joining their
brothers across the border in their struggle
for liberty He found them all peaceable
and friendly, and far from any intention OF
joining the hostile party in Canada Mr.
Warren visited over twenty farms In the
North and was agTeeably surprised TO no

stock was IN. The cattle have been out OF

THE MARKETS.

The stock market was dull yesterday. There
was some activity in New York Central and
in view of reports of a settlement with the
West Shore it advanced per cent. Durin
the early part of the day Northwestern sold
at &C. and st. Paul at 71H, while Omaha pre-
ferred advanced to Il. These advances were
afterwards lost, Northwestern closing 4
lower, st. Paul unchanged and Omaha pre-
ferred still up 4. The Chicago wheat market
was steady, opening at SS14c for May, and 9O1ac
for June. During the forenoon it advanced
to S9lc for May and 91Tc for June, and
finally closed re higher than the opening. In
St Paul it was quiet and unchanged. AT
Minneapolis, though a shade higher, sales
were slow.

The Rates From st. Paul.

The rates of freight yesterday from Chi
cago to st. Paul and Minneapolis by all the
lines was 10 cents per 100 pounds, regard
less of classification. Though rates are so
low there is no appreciate difference in the
tonnage west-bound, but there will be most
likely by tomorrow OF Thursday. 1t is
certainly improbable now that the east
bound rates will be reduced. The Omaha
road makes all east-bound freight rates on
its line to Chicago over the Northwestern,
while the latter makes the rates on west
bound business from Chicago to ST. Paul
and Minneapolis over the Omaha. The
Minneapolis &c st. Louis and the Rock
Island road does the same. The Milwaukee
is the only line which has its own line to
Chicago, therefore while the other lines adj
here strictly to the tariff, the Milwaukee
road would be doing itself great injustice
to cut rates simply to demoralize and have

justice, be ever observed. Now what are
the Republicans going to do about it?
WAR.

The action Of the British parliament on
yesterday voting the 955, 900, 600 loan with
out discussion leaves no doubt as to the at
titude of England in the controversy with
Russia. 1t means war and war to the
knife. The only possible way now to avoid
a conflict is by Russia making square
back down, an event not likely to occur.
In fact both nations have gone too far to
recede, and have possibly passed the line
where an honorable settlement could be of
fected by arbitration. In reply of the
English prime minister to the question pro-
pounded to him yesterday in parliament
whether he would be willing to submit the
questions in controversy with Russia to the
United States as an arbiter is significant
that GLADSTONE has no intention of doing
anything except to fight And it seems to
have been so construed by the parlia-
ment and met with an approving cry
from the members, which clearly indicates
the English sentiment on the situation. 1t
is hard to conjecture what the result of the
contest will be. 1t will be a mighty strug
gle between two of the greatest nations of
the earth, and its consequences are far
reaching. The situation is one of intense
interest to all of the European powers and
full of peril to some of them. From this
side of the water we can watch the conflict
with more complacency, particularly in view
of the prospective business boom it will give
us. Still we cannot be totally Indifferent to
the result of the issue. One of the contest
ants is a power that has always been friendly
to lis, while the other is our mother country,
whose language is our own. Under these
circumstances our sympathies must be more
or less enlisted. and whichever fares badly
will receive our cOmmiseration. In the
meantime we advise our Northwestern far
mers to dry their tears until good big
wheat crop is put in and harvested. By
that time we can tell better where the bulk
of our sympathy should drop.

Our Garter Sues the Inter-ocean.

CHICAGO, April PA. S. Trude, acting
for Mayor Carter Harrison, to-day entered
three heavy damage suits in the circuit

900 against Edward Lee Brown and one for
$500, 900 against the Inter-Ocean and Ed

upon fourteen libelous articles, in
which Mayor Harrison's private character

Ex-Gov. ZrEBACH of Dakota in an interview

Ex-Gov. ZIEBACH of Dakota in an interview
in the GLOBE this morning sheds a ray of
light on the Winnebago and Crow Creek res
ervation troubles, and suggests solution of
the vexing problem. If as he suggests, the
presidents proclamation could be held mop
erative until congress meets the DAWES bill
may be passed and settle the whole business.
AT least something could be done to protect
the rights of the settlers as well as of the In
dams. Time would thus be given for the set
tiers to harvest their crops and in a measure
provide for the exigencies of the coming
winter. Mr.. ZIEBACH also makes another
good suggestion, and that is that in case it
should be necessary for the government to
exercise its authority that the troops rather
than the Indian police be employed as the
agency. The department is pledged to
this policy. Should these police be sent to
evict settlers the soil of South Dakota would
blossom with "good Indians

New YORK, April 27.-Rumors have
been afloat for some days of a plan ON foot
for the consolidation of the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas with the Missouri Pacific. The
plan is not for consolidation though, but
for such an arrangement between Missouri
Pacific and Kansas & Texas as exists be-
tween the Missouri Pacific and Iron Noun
tain. The plan understood is to make the
present capital stock of the Missouri Pacific
preferred stock and there is to be issued
about SIS, 600, 900 of new Missouri Pacific
common stock to be offered to holders Of
Kansas & Texas stock in the proportion of
one share of Missouri Pacific common for
three shares of Kansas & Texas. 1t is pro-
posed that the Missouri Pacific preferred
shall receive 10 per cent, after which the
Missouri Pacific common shall receive per
cent, but any surplus in excess of 8 per
cent. on the common stock goes to the Pa
cifc preferred.

incentive in this campaign than to elect MER-
RAM as means to recover the city printing,

lating that matter were passed by the state

A STRONG INDORsEMENT

Fearful that Mr.. MERRIAM. who has
failed in his negotiations with the Herald,
may run short of campaign literature the
GLOBE reproduceS on its second page this
morning some editorial comments from the
Pioneer Press relating to the business quail
ifcations of MeSSrs. RICE and Roche tn
which we earnestly invite the attention of
our readers And we also ask MeSSrs.
MERRIAM and MCCARDY to study these
deserving testimonials which the Third
street organ has given to the Democratic
candidates concerning their business ouali-
hcatonS, rs from them they NAV gather
some ideas of a business character which
have never occurred to them. There can
be no objection on their part to the author
hy we quote, for Mr.. MERRIAM and Mr.
MCCARDY have tied themselves To the
apron strings of the Pioneer Press, and in
their estimation at least the testimonials
must be regarded as firSt-elasS.
Ii is true that the editorial Endorsement
by our contemporary of the thorough b,si-
ness qualifications of our candidates Uas
given at time when it didn't anticinata
that they would rise up as a bar to the con-
summation Of certain jobs in the Interest OF
a ring of which our neighbor was TO be the
organ. But that makes the testimonial nj,
the more valuable. Recently our neighbor
has been intoxicated with the glitterine
prospects spread cut before it, There mas
been such dazzling light reflected from the
brilliant expectations of the rich jobs which
the bosses have been displaying that the
vision OF our contemporary has been ob-
Scured and its reason impaired. Appealing

CHICAGO, April 27.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul opened the ball this
morning by giving the Burlington a Roland
for it's Oliver This return of compliments
came in the shape of an open 10c rate, with
out commissions, ON all classes of freight to
Council Bluffs and Omaha. This is the
lowest step in the round, unless
the others conclude to haul for nothing,
as the bridge charge at the Missouri
river is cents, just half of the present
rate. The other roads did not respond very
promptly. The Rock Island accepted the
reduction, although making no open rates,
the Burlington is simply taking care of the
shippers and is not soliciting business, while
the Northwestern has assumed the conserv
alive role, and, while not turning custom
ers away, prefers not to meet the cut. There
was no change in the situation on ST. Paul
traffic. The Saturdays rate of 10 cents on
all classes still prevails, with likelihood
of continuing an indefinite period. The
game of retaliation has reached its limits as
