War on Manitoba Freight.

There is likely to be no little disturbance
in Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk mat
tiers i'm a very short time. Through private
information it is learned that Sir Henry
Tyler, president of the latter, and Mr..
George Stephens, president of the former
company, had a private consultation in
Montreal recently, and it was agreed be-
tween the two that rates should be re-
stored July /, and more friendly and in
innate relation should thereafter exist be-
tween the two. With this understanding
Sir Henry left for the West to look over the
Canadian Pacific property and Mr.. Steph-
ems within day or two ago proceeded to
England via New York to float, it is said,
fifteen millions of debentures which the
government of Canada agreed to the COM
pany's using. Since the departure of Mr..
Stephens the war on freight rates has been
renewed to Manitoba points. When the
time arrived for restoration it was found
that the rate by the Canadian Pacific road
from points East to Manitoba were lower
than the rates by the Grand Trunk via Chi
cagO. This diverted the business from the
Grand Trunk and gave the Canadian Pacific
an advantage. The Grand Trunk has in
formed the lines in the Northwestern Traffic
association that it cannot reduce its
rates, and if they mean to meet the eompe-
titiOn of the Canadian Pacific they must
make a reduction themselves. The West
ern trunk lines claim that the Manitoba
road gets all this business and therefore
suffers the most, and it ought to stand the
greater part of the reduction necessary to
meet the rates made by the Canadian Pa
ci6e. The Manitoba is, however, disin-
clined to do this, and to induce it was part

Carman to st. Paul yesterday, but as Traffic
Manager Alexander of the road is up the
line, nothing could be done and he returned
TO Chicago last night. But the continuing
of the rate war after it was implicitly I'M
derstOOd by Sir Henry Tyler and George
Stephens, must be rather embarrassing to
those gentlemen, for there is no doubt that
they both really desired the rate war to
cease.

states be invited to join in the movement.
Now. IL this action were taken what would
it avail the Northwest to hold any conven-
ton? The lower states would pack the
convention and dominate its proceedings
and it would be abortive. The lower river
has always secured the lions share of
the appropriations and they will
continue to do so unless the up
per river states and territories inaugurate
an independent and aggressive line of ac-
ton. The states and territories which
should participate in the proceedings of the
projected convention are Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Dakota and Montana. Their repre-
sentative business men ought TO lose no
time i'm having some concert of action on
the great commercial issues at stake in the
matter. These, by united action, can bring
the question of their rights before congress
and the country with such force as will
have most desirable effect. For fifteen
years the lower Mississippi river and gulf
states have controlled legislation, with the
help of the coast states, and secured APP
proximately about all of the appropriations
that have been made. And unless some
thing is done independently by the upper
Mississippi states they will be taxed to re-
deem the lOwlands below by a system of
levees in the name of the navigation of the
lower river. The time to inaugurate this
movement is now, and no tritling should be
tolerated.

Condition of the Invalid.

Statements made in Boston and Chicago
papers that Mrs. Grant was sharing with
Mark Twain in the proceeds of bust of
Gen. Grant have panied the generals family.
They are, however, fatty contradicted by
Karl Gerhardt, the sculptor, who this morn
ing was caller at the Grant cottage.
Col. Grant yesterday received a telegram
from eX-Confederate Gen. S. B. Buckner
asking if, in the event of his visiting Nc
GregOr, he would be permitted to see Gen.
Grant. He was informed that if he would
call this morning he would be re-
ceived. Accordingly, at 11:40 Gen.
Buckner and his wife alighted at
the little station on the top of the noun
tain. They were met at the station by u.
S. Grant, Jr., who conducted Gen. Buck
ner to the Grant cottage. Col. Grant and
his wife and Mrs. Sartoris were absent at
tending reunion at Round Lake. When
Gen. Buckner had greeted Mrs. Grant and
others on the cottage veranda he was con-
Quoted to the generals room, where the sick
man was awaiting his visitors. Gen. Grant
| and Buckner were fellow students at West
| Point and when Fort Donelson fell, Gen.
! Buckner was the first Confederate general
| CAPTURED by Gen. Grant. The meeting was
| affecting. and the interview lasted an hour.
| Gen. Grant afterward showed considerable
| fatigue as result of the interview. but
aside from that his condition is not changed
from that of this morning.
As the afternoon wore on. after Gen.
Buckner's departure, the pleasure felt by
| Gen. Grant at having met his old acquaint-
ance seemed to have balanced any tendency
to depression which might have resulted.
He retired at s o'clock, with prospects for
good night, and at midnight the house
was quiet and dark.

The Advance ON Grain and Flour

There is considerable talk in railroad cir
cles about the advance in rates ON grain
and flour from Chicago to the seabOard from
Is TO a accent basis. There are fears
entertained that the advance will not be
made, and If it is, that 1t will not be upheld,
but will put things in a worse condition
than they were previous TO the advance TO
10 cents to New York from 13-cent basis,
Affairs are running very smoothly at pres
ent, and il is the opinion of railroad men
that in letting the rate remain as it is at
present the companies would be doing q
wise thing. This is of course the sentiment
of the western trunk lines, though it is
hardly the case with the lines to Duluth.
The latter do not care continental to what
figure the rates are advanced, as they feel
assured they will retain what business they
are now getting, and, if an advance Is made,
probably little more. There Is very little
flour moving from Minneapolis and st. Paul
at present, as there is no foreign demand
for it. and the shippers would prefer having
the flour remain at home rather than pay
storage charge at some port where q ship
ment could be made on the first prospect or
indication of a demand in the Eastern mar
ket or an advance in prices. This Is the
general feeling, and it is believed that
should the rates be advanced on Monday to
90 cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to
New York and % cents to Boston, the re-
suit will be that there will be a general
decrease in the shipments, and not only
this but the roads will again commence
their deadly fight to secure what business
they can TO help out their earnings to pay
operating expenses. Reports from Chi
cago yesterday were that the Eastern trunk
lines were contracting freely for business at
IS cents, and it is hard TO see how they will
maintain q 20-cent rate when they re-
fuse to live up to the 15-cent agreement.

BUcKNER,s VISIT TO GRANT.

Gen. BUCKNER's visit TO Gen. GRANT
at Mt McGregor yesterday must have been
the occasion of recalling many war Temin-
iscences to the minds of the two soldiers.
Gen. BUCKNER was in command of the
Confederate forces who surrendered TO Gen.
GRANT at Fort Donelson. The victory at
Fort Donelson was the beginning of
GRANTS fame, and he cannot fail to look
back with pleasure to an event which was
the foundation of career that has made
him one of the illustrious heroes of military
history. Old soldiers-though they be Of
opposite sides-always find pleasure in
talking over old battles in which they were
participants. The two men who met yes
terday, after a separation of nearly twenty
four years, were heroes-each the hero OF
his respective side-in memorable contest
and we can well imagine the feelings which
filed the breasts of the veterans as they
clasped hands, and the past with all its
memories rose wildly to view. BUCKSER's
visit TO the dying captor of Donelson is an
event which deserves to be perpetuated in
history. 1t is a symbol of a complete res
toration of fraternal feeling between the
lately-separated sections of the Union.

JOAN OF ARC.

Whatever criticisms may be offered re-
specting Miss CLEvELAND's book, or her
merit as literary composer, it must be
admitted that English literature presents no
prettier gem than her fascinating little pen
sketch of JOAN OF ARC. Here it is:
A little peasant maiden, doing lowly service
in the cottage home ut DOmremy; a mail-clad
maiden leading forth her soldiers from the
gates of Orleans; two faithful feet on fagots
at Rouen; a radiant face uplifJed TO the beck
oning skies; a cruciix upheld i'm shriveling
fiame-kissed hands; wreath of smoke for
shroud, wrack of smoke for pail; heap of
ashes, and-a franchised soull
1t is the panorama of historic life. AS
pen sketch it is notable for its brevity
and simplicity. Yet, in itself, it is a gal
lery of as lovely pen pictures as eve
adorned the pages of literature.

WHY GEN. GRANT WRITES.

The publishers of Gen. GRANTS forth
coming book have courteously given to the
press the authors preface, which is dated
at Mt. McGregor July 1. Gen. GRANT
explains how it was that he was induced to
write his memoirs. We give the full text
Of the preface:
"Man proposes and God disposes" There
are but few important events in the affairs
of men brought about by their own choice
Although frequently urged by friends to
write my memoirs, had determined never TO
do so, nor TO write anything for publication.
AT the age of nearly 81 received an injury
from a fall, which confined me closely to the
house while it did not apparently affect my
general health. This made study a pleasant
pastime. Shortly after the rascality of a bust
ness partner developed itself by the an
nouncement of a failure. This was followed
soon after by universal depression of all Sc
curities, which seemed to threaten the eXtine-
ton of good part of the income still re-
tanned, and for which am indebted TO the
kindly acts of friends. AT this juncture the
editor of the Century Magazine asked me to
write few articles for him. / consented
for the money it gave me, for at that
moment j was living upon borrowed money
to continue ii. The event is an important one
for me, for good or evil; Ihope for the former.
In preparing these volumes for the public
have entered upon the task with the sincere
desire TO avoid doing injustice 10 any one,
whether on the National or Confederate side,
other than the unavoidable injustice of not
making mention often where special mention
is due. There must be many errors of omis-
sion in this work, because the subject is too
large 10 be treated of in two volumes in such
way as to do justice TO all the officers and men
engaged. There were thousands of instances
during the rebellion of individual, company,
regimental and brigade deeds of heroism
which deserve special mention and are not
here alluded to. The troops engaged in them

Nothing Left OF Six Hundred.

Zalic Lambarski, the man who has been
running the furniture repair shop in the lit
tie old building ON the corner of Sixth, Mar
ket and st. Peter streets, skipped out yes
teTday, taking with him the sum of 5000
which belonged to his wife. The latter, a
German woman, made complaint about
the matter at the city hall last night. She
said that six years ago, and while widow
with four children, she and LambarSki
were married. They have been living conf
paratively smoothly together up to the pres
ent time. Yesterday morning he induced
her to take the children and visit friends.
When she returned last night she found
that trunk in the house had been broken
open and nice roll of money, amounting
to $500, gone. Lambarski was gone also,
so they probably went together. Mrs.
LambarSki had no idea which way he had
flown, but believed that he was already on
journey to Germany. as he has been re-
ceiving numerous letters from there within
the last few weeks.
