Situation at Chicago.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, April 29.-There was an armed
truce to-day, lull in the conflict, and all
of the roads engaged in the Western freight
war paused to take breath. As a conse-
quence, the situation remained the same as
yesterday. There was any quantity Of ru-
mors af1oat, one of which was that ten
cent cut rate to st. Paul was being used
to bill freight through to Portland,
Oregon, and the Union Pacific people put ON
foot an investigation to ascertain its truth
OF falSity, and became convinced that no
road has as yet taken any such step. The
Chicago, Milwaukee u st. Paul made the
latest aggressive move and seems to be di-
recting its fight at the Rock Island road,
having singled out Clinton, Fulton and
Lyons Iowa junction points with that road
for ) cent open rate. Cedar Rapids is also
included while Desss Moines and OF
tumwa take Council Bluffs 10 cent rate.
Neither the Northwestern nor Burlington
are meeting these rates, but are merely tax
ing care of their friends and accepting no
new business. The Rock Island meets the
situation and takes all that comes 1t is
freely predicted that retaliatory blow will
be struck before the week closes. This will
fall on Minnesota local business and
AFFECT THE CANNON VALLEY POINTS
in Minnesota. The 10 cent local rate now
prevailing has demoralZed it somewhat, as
it is now possible to use the through rate TO
st. Paul, and ship back at local tariff, and
effect a saving of from ) to 10 cents On
some classes. When The cut comes it will
be in the shape of a 10 cent fat rate of all
Minnesota junction points. Considerable
uneasiness still exists regarding Col
orado, Utah and California freights,
and the opinion prevails that the
reduction cannot be kept out very long.
Eastern officials and directors are doing
some vigorous telegraphing, insisting that
the business referred to shall not be com
plicated with Missouri trunk line com
batants, and it is understood that the
managers of the Union Pacific, Atchison Il
Topeka and the managers of the Wabash
have agreed to prevent the intrusion Of the
disturbance into their territory west of the
Missouri river, for time at least.

VIII Redeem Outstanding Tickets

Special to the GLOBE.
CHICAGO. April ga meeting of the
passenger agents of the East Bound Traffic
association was held at Joint A gent Moore's
office to-day. After All all-day session it
was found to be impossible to come to any
agreement until the Chicago g. Atlantic gen
eral passenger agent could consult with the
general manager as to the redemption Of
tickets bought for the purpose of testing
rates. that seeming to be the only method
by which the rates could be fully MAIN
tanned. All lines, except the Chicago q
Atlantic, have agreed to redeem all tickets
bought for this purpose, at tariff. and if the
Chicago IL Atlantic can be got to agree. an
agreement for the full maintenance Of rates
will be put in effect beginning May i. There
was a hot discussion over various points,
and much wOrdy warfare INDUCED in, yet
agents manifested a spirit to enforce
restored tariff. II has been demon
strated that $3.50 tariff cannot be
carried out. The tariff to Buffalo is
S14, and from thence TO New York from 80
to $3.50. which gives the broker chance to
make cut Of from 81 to S1.50. For this
reason it was understood that in case the
Chicago q Atlantic gave in its adherence, a
reduction Of through tariff would be made
to either ST or $3.50. according to the
rates at which brokers can procure tickets
over the West Shore and New York Cen
trial roads. Mr. Snow will probably inform
the other roads tomorrow whether his road
will consent to enter into the compact. and
if it agrees the rates viii take effect TO
morrow. All Of the lines were represented
at the meeting.

wished to issue tariff in connection with
that company to all points On the Missis-

it desired making its rates according to the
differentials agreed to between the all-rail
and rail-and-river routes. The position
taken by the Illinois Central was acquiesced
in by all the representatives of the roads
present.

THE Charleston News and Courier gives the
following explanation of the recent Confeder-
ate bond craze: JUDAH P. BENJAMIN, sec
rotary OF state of the Confederacy from 1852
until its collapse, was the originator OF the
plan by which demand was created for the
bonds. At different times the Confederate
congress voted large sums for secret service,
the principal deposits being in London and
Paris banks. The funds were placed to the
credit of citizens of Great Britain and France
who were friendly to the South. AT the close
OF the war there was an unexpected balance
of S5,0S0,000. Mr.. BENJAMIN consulted with
these agents as to the disposition of the
money, and it was agreed that it should not
be surrendered. The question was then how
to disburse the money so as to benefit those
entitled to it. 1t was concluded that the peo-
pie who had given their names to the Confed-
eracy for its bonds were entitled to the
money, and the bonds were advertised for,
and to cover the real object of the movement
it was limited that the bonds were to be held
by spectators, and that suit was to be insti-
tuted against the United States for their pay
ment."

naturalized, are in question, there will be
Jacksonian promptness in applying a forcible

Yesterday the Appointed Time. but
the Date is Changed.


BosToN, April 29.-Not since the sacrifi-
cial tragedy at Pocahontas in 1879 has IA
naticism reached such a height in New
England as indicated in a story from back
woods region in Maine. A dispatch from
Corinne, Me-, says that forty or fifty people
of that town expect to go to heaven to-day.
During the last two or three months there
has been a revival of the Millerite excite
ment in Corinne, Newport, OningtOn and
other towns. A prophet named John Nick
ersOn has been laboring there and has made
many converts to his eccentric theories.
Nickerson and his disciples made the vision
related in the seventh chapter of Daniel
the basis of their belief. They declare that
the things which Daniel saw i'll lis dream
HAVE COME TO PASS,
except that described in the 18th verse, the
coming of the Son of Man. He, they
solemnly aver, is due to-day, and they are
making preparations accordingly. As for
the four great beasts which came up from
the sea. the lion with eagles wings, the
bear with three ribs in his teeth. the four
headed and four-winged leopard, and the
fourth the most terrible beast with iron
teeth and ten horns with eyes in them, all
these preliminaries III Daniels vision, they
say, have been strictly fulfilled and are clear
to the eyes of the faithful who look over
the worlds history. One of the brethren
recently said that Napoleon was undoubt-
edly
ONE OF THESE BEASTS,
but he was not clear as TO which one. 4
reporter asked him if he did not think
O'Donovan Rosa was the beast with the
iron teeth and ten horns. He thought the
suggestion was worthy OF consideration.
Female members Of the congregation have
been busy making ascension robes for sew
eraI days. One and the same kind Of robes
will be put on by men, women and children
to-day. 1t is a flowing garment of bleached
cotton cloth, which looks something like
priests surplice or butchers frOck. but
most like nightgown. There are no but
tons on it. but it is gathered in at the neck
with tape. The only decoration is mar
row. white sash. which will be loosely
gathered at the waist. The believers did
not sleep last night but passed the time III
contemplation at home. This morning at
o'clock they assembled at their tabernacle,
put ON their white robes and are waiting

THE Minneapolis Journal expresses hope
that MERRIAM the Minneapolis candidate for
mayor Of St. Paul, may be elected, yet from
the way it complains of the management, or
rather mismanagement, of the Republican
campaign committee, and the rebuke it adj
ministers to the MERRIAM organs in this city,
it is fair to infer that the Minneapolis paper
sees no foundation for the hope it expresses.

the Jurors had been asleep part Of the
time. The court took the motion under adj
visement
While all the probabilities are that the
verdict of the jury was righteous one and
that the criminal has been properly con-
victed, still there is something so absurd in
the idea of a mans life being at the mercy of
system by which verdict of guilty can
be reached by the decision of a juror who
has not heard the testimony is calculated to
bring the system into disrepute. 1t is taken
for granted that the court will award new
hearing. But here is the extraordinary ex-
pense of another trial the state is put to,
besides the delay in the administration OF
justice. Because juror falls asleep in his
box now and then is not sufficient ground
to condemn the whole system of jury trials,
but it might be well enough for the laws to
provide an officer whose duty it shall be
to go around at stated times to nudge
the jurymen and see that they are kept
awake
