ANOTHER GRANT SCHEME.
Wealthy CalifOrnians TO Buy Him Vineyard
in the Golden State.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.-Gen. Grants
illness has brought to light project which
has been under consideration here for sew
eral months. 1t is to bring the general and
all his family to California to live. The idea
was conceived by Gen. Francis Darr,
formerly of New York, a new resident of this
city. Darr served during the war on the
staff of D. c. Buell.. The scheme,
in which several of our most
prominent citizens heartily cooperate, is to
buy large bearing vineyard, having resi-
dence and other necessary buildings, and
tender the entire property to Grant as a
loan. 1t would be decided to Mrs. Grant
The vineyard will be under the direction of
skilled viticulturist. After deducting from
the product sum sufficient to cover all the
expenses of Grants household the balance
would be applied in the liquidation of the
mortgage. Several large properties have
been visited so as to select the most suitable.
The Central Pacific railroad has rendered
special cars to 60 to New York to bring the
general with his family and physicians All
the expenses of the party would be paid.
Col. jackson, proprietor of the Evening Post.
has placed his residence ut Napa Soda
springs at the disposal OF Grant and party
while tine necessary formalIties in respect to
the selection and transfer of the vineyard
were being ompleted. Grant was made
acquainted with the scheme about three
months ago and requested to come and see
before deciding. A dispatch was, however.
received from Grant last week stating 1t
would be impossible to make the trip at
present.

ST. PAUL EAsT-BoUND RATES.
Hoac Cutting is Done in ST. PGut By agents
To Meet Scdlpcrs' Rates.

To Meet Scdlpcrs' Rates.
For some time past passenger rates to
railroad men and other interested parties
have been considered rather loose to Chicago
and points South and Southwest on the
trunk lines. No special open cut has been
made that could in any way inculpate the
agents, but deviations from the tariff rates
have nevertheless been INDUCED in for some
time and of recent date nearly every ticket
sold in st. Paul to Chicago has been dis
posed of at rate from so cents to 81 below
the schedule price. The rates to Chicago
we're put at SS second class BY
the st. Paul and Minneapolis Passenger
association, with a commission of so cents
to be allowed to scalpers. For some time :,
OF course, after the agreement, the travelling
public were not aware that they could pur-
chase from broker u ticket for So. so, where
as if they went to the agents they would have
to pay SO. Then the agents found that the
brokers could do as much, if not more, busi-
ness than they themselves could, aud now
the agents find it quite difficult to make a
sale at the 50 rate. Ii the agent can not sell
at 50 he sends for his favorite scalper and
tells the purchaser to buy from the scalper,
who gives them rate of $3.50 to Chicago,
signs the voucher, and turns the money
over to the agent, receiving for his
work so cents, and gives the purchaser a
benefit of the same amount. The scalper
always signs voucher, for an agent of one
of the other lines has noticed the buyer of
the ticket going into the office, and as soon
as he is outside he will inquire what the
ticket was sold for and as soon as he finds
out that it was bought for $3.50 he makes
further investigation to see how the trans
action was done. If the ticket had not been
purchased from the scalper fine of $500
could be imposed on the guilty agent. On
this new way of doing business the scalper
sells at $l2 to Kansas City; the rate quoted
being S14.75; and to st. Louis at S1l, a cut
of 1915. 1t is therefore quite plain that the
scalper has great advantage over the agent.
The scalper can make lower rate than the
company itself, and the latter has to resort
to some means to get on an even basis.

The Cabinet Generally Popular.

Sp ecial TO the Globe.
New YORK, March 2.-Cabinet talk to-day
has not been fruitful. The list published on
saturday is everywhere accepted as correct,
aud the confirmation Of its accuracy pours in
from Washington and Albany. The main
question has been whether the selections are
the best that can be made. The Eastis salts
fed, so is the South. Both, in fact, are more
than satisfied. but representative Western
men in New York. while unwilling to 90 into
print in opposition to the president-elect, are
doing 4 heap Of growing. There are
q number of silver men here from the terri
tories who help to foment this feeling Of dis
satisfaction. On the whole, the personal
makeup Of the cabinet gives satisfaction.
There is some criticism of each of the ap-
poiutmeuts, but really nothing that IS worthy
Of consideration. It is already the gossip of
the day that some Of the men honored viii
take their places only as stepping stones to
future preferment. Garland and Erdieo.t
are said to have their eyes on the supreme
bench. Villas has aspirations for the senate
chamber. and so. too, has Whitney.

BosToN, March 2.-The Tran script SAYS
that the annual report of the Chicago, Bur-
lington q Quincy Railroad company for 1884
will issue this month. The greatest change
in the figures as compared with 1883 will be
in the net earnings, which have decreased
S915, 900, upon loss of 1928, 900 in the
gross traffic. The gross earnings for January
will probably show an increase equal to one
half the gross loss in 1884. There was no
change in the amount paid in dividends in
1884, the disbursements on this account be-
ing as in 1888, $3.50, 600, There
is an increase of about $500. 600
in fixed charges. The net land receipts are
understood to have been about as in 1888, or
81, 100000. The report for 1883 showed a
surplus of the land receipts and SO, 4s7, 900
from operating, therefore the railroad sur
plus to be shown for 1884 will be about one
half the operating surplus of 1888, or 81, ,3OO,-
600. But it is understood that the Hannibal

cago, Burlington & Quincy, earned, as in

Cannot Vote.

ST. LOUIS, March 2.-An Injunction was
taken out in the circuit court, St. Louis, to-
day. to restrain Jay Gould from voting at the
annual election of the Iron Mountain rail-
road on the Goth, as he holds 500, 600, 900 of
stock of the road as trustee. 1t is said the
stock was obtained by conspiracy to give the
Missouri Pacific road control over the Iron
Mountain. In pursuance of the con nspiracy
they increased Missouri Pacific thirty mil
lions, and usel this increase to buy up stock
of the Iron Mountain, which was much less
valuable, paying three shares of Missouri
Pacific for four of Iron Mountain !;
thatinasmuch as he clearly represents the Mis-
souri, Pacific Gould has no right to vote these
S22, 100000 because the Missouri Pacific
operates the Missouri, Kansas Il Texas rail
road, which is in fact parallel line, and be-
cause the state constitution prohibits two
parallel lines from being operated by the
same management. The alternative writ of
injunction is issued returnable next Thurs
day. If the court sustains the injunction
only 900 shares of Iron Mountain stock will
be left free to vote at the annual meeting.

Marietta and North Georgia Matter
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 6.-Both branches
OF the General Assembly passed to-day
trausacting petty local legislation, which
if ofinterest at all, is only of interest in
the small limits to which the legislation
refers.
The Senate passed two local bills Of an
unimportant character, read a number of
House bills the second time, killed two
measures because they had been covered
by previous legislation, and received the
report of the committee on adjournment,
which reported favorably on the resolu-
tiOn of the House fixing Oct. 10 as the day
tor final adjournment. The resolution was
not acted upon.
The House this morning refused to re-
consider the action of yesterday in pass
ing the resolution providing for a settle
ment of the CLAIMS Of the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad against the
State.
Mr.. Harrell, of Webster county, sent to
the desk his protest against the action Of
the House, which he said he desired to
have made a matter OF record.
The bill to provide for the better as
seasment Of property for taxation came
up as the special order. A motion was
made to Indefinitely postpone action on
the bill.
Mr.. ArnheIm, OF Albany, opposed the
motion, and had the floor until the hour of
adjournment. The bill will come up as
the unfinished business tomorrow.
