New YORK, Feb. 24.-Except to persons
in daily contact with the money market, the
abundance of unemployed capital at present

4 certain general freight agent in the city
is having the laugh on railroad reporters. He
saws that he was at Chicago recently and he
was informed that the railroad reporters of
the Tribune and Times were after him. He
did not think anything of it, being perfectly
willing that they should meet him. He was
taking dinner at the Grand Pacific when he
heard his name mentioned at the same
table he was at. and he then knew by the
talk that it was these two re-

stOOp-shouldered and had big nose, and he
was talking the other one blind. Shaking

KreidIer's Case1Very Doubtful Western
Base Ball League-Hennepin Canal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The Kreidler case
was laid over again tonight. Kreidler
was telling mis- friends to-day that he
was very hopeful of confirmation
this afternoon. Along in the afternoon,
however, Maginnis went over to the senate
and laid the case before every Democratic
senator, advising them to vote with Sawyer,
Cameron and Cullom when the senate went
into executive session. 1t sailed along
quietly on other cases, and when
Kreidler's was reached Cameron moved to
adjourn, and his motion was carried by 20 TO
-. OF course it is liable to come again at
each executive session, but its chances of
success grow weaker every day.
Mr.. T. P. Sullivan, manager of the Kansas
City club, is in the city, the guest of Senator
Alison's private secretary, and will remain
until March 4. He has made contract with
A. j. Reach Il Co. of Philadelphia to furnish
balls for the Western league and has also re-
ceived recognition for the Western league as
parties to the National agreement. He is

league. He thinks Milwaukee, indianapolis
and Kansas City have very strong mines.
and thinks Milwaukee will take first place in
the race. The Hennepin canal was killed
to-day so far as relates to this session. The
ruling Of Chairman Hammond, By which it
goes ont of the river and harbor bill, was sus-
tanned by vote of 109 to 80. This is recog-
nized as the death knell of the Hennepin
canal this session. Stephenson's three
daughters and his niece, who reside at
Marneite, Wis, arrived this evening to
spend the remainder Of the session.

Noisy Time in the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The usual confic;
between the appropriation and the river and
harbor committees took place, and resulted
in victory for the latter. The Hennepin
canal clause was ruled out of the river bill.
Every section was discussed and amend
ments offered by the opponents of the bill.
Tine discussion was unintelligible and noisy,
and interrupted every few minutes by points
of order. There were usually a dozen
members addressing the chair at
the same time and cries of ''vote,'' ''vote. y

Der of minor amendments were adopted and

Mr. Holman offered an amendment pro-
viding that the money appropriated for the

souri, rivers shall be extended under The
direction of the secretary of war, and in ac-
cordance with the plans approved by him.
After a short and very noisy discussion the
amendment was adopted.

be continued after a short pause, shave you
given any thought to the number of railroads
which are to pass through the East side the

''Yes, two" was the answer.
''More than that, my boy" resumed the
attorney mplacently. "There is the Free
port, the Saltwater and Duluth, the Wiscon-
sin Central and the st. Paul IL Northern
Pacific-Yes, and the Sault Ste. Marie. The
St. Paul 4 Northern Pacific company is tax
ing the lead in securing a right of way. The
company has already purchased a strip 200
feet wide, for an independent traffic line
between the twin cities. 1t passes
through the Knapp tract of 100 acres,
the Henry Gurney tract, and the eighty acres
owned by James w. Lawrence, as well as
through the property owned by the Garfield
heirs of Chicago. Then it continues to run
northwest diagonaIly through six lots on the
north side of the Elwood addition. / have a
strong suspicion that by combination of
circumstances the Sault Ste Marie people
will pool with the Northern Pacific folks, and
use the same right of way between the two
cities. That is, the Sault Ste. Marie will
build to st. Paul, and from that point
to the terminus pass over the Northern
Pacific road. This is only my own
conviction. / deduce the conclusion from
the fact that the agent Of the Northern Pacific
road, who purchased portion if notlall the
right Of way | have just told you about has
made oyerturns to the owners Of lands ad-
iacent to the site already determined upon
for the terminal of the Sault Ste. Marie. The
az ent explained to the owners Of the prop
erty that the company considered it
profitable investment for money which had
for a time lain idle, and that the company
could afford to hold the property for an ad-
vance in price. OF the other roads have
no particular information, but from close

he was director in the Geneva National

was entirely unfounded. Tue statute

FreIinghuysen on Foreign Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Secretary Freling-
huysen, in long letter to Senator Miller,
chairman of the senate committee on foreign
relations, fakes the ground that we must
look to nations inferior to US in wealth and
population for any marked enlargement Of
our export trade, and that the reciprocity
treaties are only profitable with such
nations. In proof of this asser-
ton, he submits trade statistics,
already familiar to the public, Of South Ameri-
can states, West Indies and Mexico. He be-
lieves the Inauguration Of a system Of treaties
with inferior nations worthy of immediate
consideration by congress, and says that for
every dollar OF the revenues surrendered by
such a system, and for every dollars worth
Of home trade displaced, we will receive an
equivalent in our enlarged exports and the
impetus given our various industries, from
field 10 factory and from foundry to ship
yard.
