building up the West.

A gentleman in from Victoria, B. c.,
yesterday stated that construction OH the
western end of the Canadian Parific pro-
ceeds apace. The weather during the win
ter was exceptionally heavy; most of the
mountain roads are entirely blOckaded with
snow yet. Indeed, in some cases the SNOW
from the slides is 200 feet in
depth. Incredible as this may seem
in St. Paul, the gentleman said,
it is nothing unusual among
the wild Rockies, and Selkirk, the region of
SNOW and precipiteus heights. With such
distractions to overcome, the work is an
exceedingly laborious one, and it seems
very doubtful that the last spike can be
driven by the end of August, the time stipu-
lated. Several towns are springing up
along the route already, and, like most ad-
vanced posts ON railroad works, the princi-
pal trade of the places is whisky. There are
about thirty saloons to fifty houses,
and the former all appear to be doing a
good business, By the law Of the dominion
the sale of intoxicating liquors is forbidden
within radius of twenty miles OF the of
construction, but in spite of this enactment
the whisky is sold openly. Up to a week
or two since, all saloonkeepers did business
without licenses. One man. wishing to
conform with the law, went into one town
armed with license, but he lived to regret
it, for his brethren Of the opposite way OF
acting met together in solemn cOnclave, and
forbid him carrying out his intentions. A
word to the wise was sufficient. Since
then, however, the authorities have issued
licenses, apparently upon the principal of
''what can't be cured must be ended"

The Award Of Percentages.

The award Of percentages announced by
Arbitrator Bogue, in Fridays GLOBE, to
the lines in the Northwestern association
has not given entire satisfaction, but Mr..
BOgue has done as well as could be ex-
peccted, for there is only 100 per cent to
divide, and if each road received what it
called for it would require $50 per cent. to
make the division. The award is for one
year from April 1, 1885, but any road being
dissatisfied has the right to appeal
ten DAYS after the award was made. If
such an appeal is made, two more arbitra-
tors will be appointed to join Mr.. Bogue in
making another award. From the latter
decision no appeal can be made, and it will
have to stand until the agreement expires
by limitation The meeting which General
Freight Agent J. B. Clarke of the Omaha
went to Chicago to attend yesterday,
has been postponed, and will probably
be held the latter part of this week.
The principal questions to be considered
will be the disposition to be made OF the
business going from st. Paul to Washburn.
The Omaha has thus far refused to report
this business to the pool, which If not done
will cause serious trouble. The Omaha is
understood to take the ground that the per-
centages awarded it for the Washburn
business would compensate for the business
that line is doing, and it would like the
association TO take some steps to prevent
the st. Paul & Duluth from destroying that
business.

THE SENGERBUND.

The great Overpowering characteristic OF
the German nature is the love for song
which is deeply implanted in the nature of
every scion of that fatherland. The true
German inherits this passion from his
father, and imbibes it from the maternal
font. The first sound he listens to is his
mothers lullaby. His older brothers and
sisters sing over in his ear snatches from
the great choruses as he grows older, and his
musical education keeps pace with the ac-
uuirements of the rudiments of mathematics
and literature. When he grows to mans
estate he wooes his lover with song, and
his dissipation is the singing society. In
the war he inspires his martial heart with
music, celebrates his victory with song, and
dies with one of the old voIklieder ON his
lips. Into whatever cline the German is
transplanted he takes with him his singing
book, in default of which whenever two OF
three of them are gathered together they
are never at a loss for songs common to all
with which to revive the memories of the
old home.
The Germans in Minnesota, as elsewhere,
have always kept up their musical festivi-
ties, and there is NO village in which any
considerable number of them dwell that
has not one or more singing societies. Six
teen of these are banded together in a
sengerbund, whose silver jubilee celebrat-
ing the fifteenth anniversary of its exist
ence, will take place in ST. Paul this week.
The GLOBE joins with our citizens in ex-
tending cordial welcome to our German
musical friends, and we express our appre-
citation of both the honor they do us and
the pleasure they will afford us by selecting
our city as the place of holding their festi-
val.

AWKWARD DENIES.

The story sent out by the London Press
association that Capt. AWKWARD was the
originator of the RIEL rebellion is denied
by that gentleman. In an interview pub
lished in the New York Times of Thursday
Capt. AWKWARD says that he has not been
in London for four years, that he has been
in New York ever since last January, that
he never met Gen. MULTEN, that he was
never in ST. Paul, that he never owned a
mule, and that the nearest relation he ever
had with the RIEL rebellion was proposal
from New York paper to go to the North
west as war correspondent, and that he
was making preparations to go when the
GLOBE published an account of R1EL's
capture. The denial is full and explicit
enough to satisfy the most credulous. II
looks, as the GLOBE stated on yesterday,
as if the English people saw French or an
Irish ghost in every shadow.

The Corn Crop.

CHICAGO, May 30.-The Times this
morning prints an extensive report of the
prospects for the corn crop of 1856 through
out the Northwest. In Illinois the area of
corn will be larger than last season, owing
to the large extent of wheat that was win
ter killed. There is much complaint that
the seed planted does not terminate and
various causes are assigned Some attribute
the poor stand of corn to the cold weather
during the past winter. which is believed
to have destroyed the life Of the germ. The
season since planting began has been cold
and unfavorable for the growth of corn,
and the majority of farmers have been
compelled to replant two or three times. A
new insect enemy has done great damage
to corn this season in portions of Central
Illinois, Prof. Forbes, state entomologist,
reported to the state department of agricul-
ture to-day that he had just examined a
field of 100 acres of corn that had been
completely destroyed by this insect, Of
which comparatively
LITTLE IS KNOWN.
The supply Of old corn in the farmers
hands is quite limited, owing to the long,
cold weather, which necessitated the feed
ing OF nearly one-third more than the aver
age seasons. There is still much inquiry
for seed corn in central Illinois, and the
planting season will extend to the middle
of June.
The spring season opened rather late in
Nebraska, but corn planting was little if
any later than usual. The early spring days
were not growing, but suitable for blowing,
and the corn was planted in time. In Ian
caster and DeYoung counties the area
of corn planted exceeds that of last year by
at least Is per cent. The season has been
favorable as rule, although frequent rains
intefered somewhat. Now nearly all the
corn is up and looking well. The stand is
better than usual and low seed cuts no
figure. Very little replanting has been
done or will be done. The above state
ments in regard to corn will be found true
throughout the state. In the southern por-
lions the plant is further advanced than
elsewhere, and will escape the weeds better
than in the western portion. The acreage is
MUCH IN EXCESS
of previous years, since many new settlers
have come in and more land is under cult
walton in these new portions of the state
Very little of last years crop remains in
the hands of the farmers. For the past
week the weather has been SO wet as to be
discouraging, In some places west the rain
fall was so heavy as to wash out some por-
lions of the corn planted.
In Missouri the prospect is also very
favorable. A much larger acreage has been
put into corn than last season because of
the failure of the wheat fields, many of
which were plowed up. Corn is mostly up
and growing finely. There is considerable
old corn in the country, at least 25 per cent
Of last years crop. With favorable season
the new crop will be so per cent. greater
than last year. Iowa promises about an
average yield, while in Kansas and Wis
consin bad weather has delayed the corn,
although both states report a slightly larger
acreage.

SILVER CITY, N. NJ, May 30.-The
bodies of Col. Phillips family, murdered
by the Apaches, have been brought in, all
horribly mutilated. The daughter had been

Zig Decrease in Tonnage.

Special to the GLOBE.
CHICAGO. May -East-bound tonnage
makes poor showing for the past week.
There has been decrease of 9,593 tons
from the previous week and falling off in
the past three weeks of SO, 101 tons, OF nearly
one-half. The question is purely one of
supply and demand and there being none,
or very little of the latter: the movement
is reduced to small proportions.
There is no indueement even at low rates
to cause transfer of grain, as it would be
only taking it from one point to store it in
another, and the movement is likely to COLI
tinue light unless some unexpected happen
ing should create market. The market
for the past week aggregated 4G,399 tons,
distributed as follows: Flour, $3.50
tons; grain, 27,424 tons; provisions,
6, 1915 tons; OF which the Vanderbilt
roads took out 1873 per cent, or almost
one-half, and the Pennsylvania 24.S, leav-
ing to the three other lines trlfie more
than one-fourth the tonnage. For the previ-
Gus week the movement was flour, 9,163
tons; grain, SO, 691 tons; provisions, 7.l65
tons, total, 40, 992 tons, a decrease for the
the past week of 1888 tons.

From 1870 to 1880 the increase was nearly $50
