Didn't know there was freight war, {"
replied that gentleman, cycling the reporter
askance. Hadn't heard ANYTHING about
it,"
Didn't you read the GLOBE this morn
ing, iii which it was stated that the Mime
sofa ~ Northwestern had issued Instructions
to all agents to make any rate necessary in
order To secure business between Austin
and other points common to both their line
and yOuTs?''
Don't read the papers," was the not
very cheering reply.
Then we must assume that the war is
on in dead earnest and that you have moth
ing to say about it?'
well, hardly. The fact is" continued
this gentleman, assuming a more cheerful
expression, ''Our road made great mistake
In not notifying the Minnesota DO North
western that we had made a special rate on
certain articles of merchandise from Chi
cagO TO Austin. Whenever change from
schedule rates Is contemplated it is custom
AIRY to notify the officials of competing lines.
In this instance such notification was not
made and the Minnesota IL Northwestern
people concluded we were cutting rates and
acted accordingly. Had we been in their
place we could have come to no other con-
cluSiOn and should have acted just as they
did"
Have you notified them that it was sim
ply an oversight and not an Intentional cut
ting OF rates?'
IS, sir; they were so notified to-day,
and presume the matter has been AMIGA
bly, adjusted and rates restored"

What about your sweeping circular of
Instructions to agents 10 take freight at any

''Ol. that's been cOunteTmanded and

The explanation was perfectly satisfactory,
and there was nothing more to disturb our
equanimity. Good day"

DETROIT, Aug. 1S.-Two weeks ago the
Michigan bolt and nut works announced a
10 per cent. reduction of wages, to take
effect Aug. Is. The notice was received
with CONSERVATION by the employees the
most skillful of whom got only S1.75 per
day, and the majority less than 81 per
day. There being no organization among
them protests were slow in being acted
upon. Last Friday night a meeting was
held and committee appointed to carry
their case to the superintendent. The com
mittee stated their case and were promptly
discharged Thereupon men and boys, $50
in number, quit work, demanding the re-
instatement of their committee and the pay

Another Indian Order Likely.
Special to the Globe.


LANDER, w. T., Aug. 1S.-The officials
of the ShOshOne agency, it seems, would
not be surprised at an order from the Indian
department enforcing the departure of all
whites from the reservation with
the exception of government employees
Indeed, they expect such instructions.
Nothing could be drawn from the mischiev-
Gus depths of philanthropic ingenuity that
would better break the friendly relations
between the settlers and Indians than an
order of this character Direct commune
cation with the central and north
western portions of the territory would be
cut Off. To go around the reservation
a circuit of 200 or 300 miles would be re-
quired. The adjacent cattle ranches would
find it an impossibility to keep their stock
from the Indian grounds, while the demand
would soon be voiced that the Indians be
kept entirely on their own land.

THE UNIVERSITY wHANGLE.

The conclusion arrived at by the univer-
sity regents in regard to the Injunction pro-
ceedings. now pending in court against
the St. Paul ~ Northern Pacific railroad.
viii cause profound regret among our peo-
pie, rs it will provoke more or less criticism.
There was an earnest desire among the citi-
zenS of st. Paul and Minneapolis that the
regents would see the matter in a light
different from what they had heretofore
viewed it, and would come to the conclu-
sion that the commercial interests of the
two cities could be promoted and at the
same time no serious harm be done to the
university. The matter was presented
TO the regents fairly clearly and
forcibly in the resolution of the Min
neapolis board of trade and by Mr.. CoCU-
RAN. the representative of the st. Paul
chamber of commerce. il was certainly ex-
pected, after the clear calculation of the
subject made by Mr.. COCHRAN. that the
regents would Withdraw all objections and
allow the Northern Pacific to build its road
without further delay or ANNOYANCE. In
this the people of the two cities have been
disappointed, and there is no alternative
left but TO fight it out in the courts
In view of our critical railroad relations
at this time-with Chicago on one side and
Duluth on the other seeking to draw com
merce away from ST. Paul and Minneapolis
1T is peculiarly unfortunate that any rail-
road line seeking entrance to our cities
should be compelled to abandon the idea
altogether, or, in order TO get here, be
compelled to fight Its way through the
courts. Such condition is naturally
discouraging to other projected enterprises,
