THE ST. PAUf,s ANNUAL REPORT.

Il Decline in the Earnings and an In
crease in Expenses.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 9.-The Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway complny's an
nual report for 1884 was given to the public
to-day. By it it is shown that the gross
earnings were s23, 3,47O, ,99S1s, gross
expenses including taxes, S13,S59,-
62S.33; decrease of gross earnings,
as compared with 1888, s1SS, $3.50. The
operating expenses were increased $s1 $50.
Average miles of road operated during the
year, 4, 7S0, which is an increase of 231 over
the previous year. The total bonded debt Of
the road. is 500, 1854, 600, which is an in
crease of nearly four million during
the year. Total stock, $47, AS, ,244, of which
SIG, $40, 9S3 is preferred. The roads capitali-
Zation, stock and bonds, is at the rate of $780,
745 per mile. The company now having
4,804 miles in operation additions to the roll
ing stock was made to the cost of $40, 900.
In the purchase of real estate, depot grounds,
ETC., over 1896, 900 were expended, of which
amount S226,500 was in Chicago. The
total extraordinary expenses were
81, ,457, ,631.99. But forty-four miles of new
road were constructed during the year, forty
in Iowa and four in Wisconsin. No part of
the company's mileage is held upon leases,
while rents are reserved and the property is
only encumbered by the bonded debt above
mentioned. Since the last report 270 miles
of new steel rail have been laid. The re-
port says: sThe great depression
in commercial affairs during the past year
has prevented the increase of earnings which
was expected. A return of general pros
perity will bring largely increased earnings,
and an increase may also be expected from
the new lines of the company in Dakota as a
result of the natural improvement of the
country tributary to those lines.'

ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND
Presented to the United States Suprem
Court-Brewster's Farewell

Presented to the United States Supreme
Court-Brewster's Farewell.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-When the su
preme court met Today there was large
crowd in attendance to witness the presenta-
tion to the court of the new attorney general
by the retiring head of the department of
justice. Attorney General Garland and ex-
Attorney General Brewster sat together at the
bar of the court, and the inclosed part OF the
room reserved for attorneys in practice be-
fore the court was crowded with lawyers of
prominence. When the justices had taken
their seats Mr.. Brewster asked permission of
the court to present his successor, Hon. A.
Il. Garland. Brewster then said he desired
to make grateful acknowledgment of the
courts unceasing kindness to him. Attor-
ney General Garland acknowledged the
kindness Of Brewster in presenting him and,
addressing the members Of the court, said:
Il shall attempt, with every possible exer-
ton in my power in the discharge of my
duties before this court, to so demean myself
as to merit your respect and entire confid-
ence." The chief justice then directed the
clerk OF the court to enter the commission
of the attorney general upon the record and
turning to Brewster, said: ''The court will
be glad to see the ex-attorney general before
its bar" This ended the ceremony and the
court proceeded to routine business.

this week, the Wabash having appealed
from Mr.. Bogue's decision. When the
award was made Arbitrator Bogue gave
the Wabash all it demanded "a per cent. of
the Des Moines business) and the Wabash
officials were understood to be entirely sat-
isfed. Since the award was made, however.
the Wabash, it appears, has carried much
more than its allotted percentage and for this
reason it now demands that its percentage be
increased. 1t is claimed by the other roads
interested in the Des Moines business
that while it is true that the
Wabash has carried more than
its allotted percentage it has
gained that advantage by giving special rates
to certain merchants and shippers, and that
under ordinary circumstances it could not
secure the percentage awarded it by Arbitra-
tor Bogue. The Wabash, it is claimed, in
tends to withdraw from the pool if its per-
centage is not increased, and as the other
roads seem to be determined not to give it
any more than Mr. Bogue's award allows
it, the indications are that the pool will go to
pieces

MONTANA STOCK MATTERS.
Il Large Traffic Bmstness in Store for the
Noreher,s Pacific THIS Season.

Il Large Traffic Bmsipess in Store for the
Northern Pacific THIS Season.
MILES CITY, Mont, March 9-The pros
pect for heavy live stock business for the
Northern Pacific road this season is most fa-
vorable. The cattle men are gaining more
confidence, and will soon bring out their
young cattle from the East to fatten. Stock
owners are now very cheerful. Wiutry
weather will soon be over, and even now the
chinook breezes murmur the music of COM
ing spring.
Throughout Montana live stock Is in con-
dition quite as favorable as usual at this time
of the year. Few aside from those who have
seen the ''Bad Lands" can realize how diff
fcult 1t is to calculate winters loss (before
the spring round-up) in district that pre-
serts such disrupted, broken surface, but
from careful observations In the range and
from conversations with many stock growers
and cowboys from all parts of the territory,
| am convinced that the average loss on all
kinds of stock is but little, if any, over per
cent. this winter. Unfayorable spring
weather may increase the loss, but the present
outlook Is good. Stockmen generally
are surprised to find so few dead cattle, not
withstanding the extreme cold that paid the
Northwest such long visit. The snow falls
have been light and stock has been able to
Craze with but little intermission. Animals
that went into the winter fat have maintained
good condition and are all looking first-rate.
The greater proportion Of loss has fallen upon
those that reached the range late last fall, and
that were unfamiliar with 'rustling.n
The record of temperature for February at
Fort Keough shows that on only six days the
average was below zero, and that only on
nine days did the mercury 60 below the
cypher at all, the coldest day being the 9th,
when - below was reached.

Mysterious Disappearance Of Young and
Handsome Lady.
Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, March 9.-The mysterious
disappearance Of young woman living on
the West side has created sensation
in the circle in which she moved.
Miss Annie Gleason, the lady
in question, came to this city with her family
about two years ago. They have lately lived
ON Sycamore street, between Fourth and
Fifth. While visiting in Detroit last fall
Miss Gleason, who is handsome brunette,
met Mr.. Davidson, who is in the prime Of
life. After Miss Gleason's return home
she kept up q correspondence with
her new admirer, which resulted
in his visiting Milwaukee shortly
after Christmas. When he returned home
it was as the lady's affianced. A month later
he returned, and during this visit he made
himself so odious to his betrothed that she
broke off the engagement. Davidson con-
tinued his visits, however, and,
backed by the influence OF Miss Glea-
sons relatives, endeavored to have the former

became so annoyed by the unremitting
pleadings that she is said to have threatened
suicide. About the middle of last week she
suddenly left the house, since which time
nothing has been seen or heard Of her. In
quiry at the bank where she had on deposit
between eight thousand and nine thousand
dollars, her share of the fortune left by her
father, disclosed the fact that Miss
Gleason had drawn out all ber money.
It's supposed she took passage for New
York, where she has friends. 1t was rumored
at first she had eloped with the son of rail-
road official The latter, however, denies
that such is the case, claiming to have knowl
edge of his sons movements up TO Friday
night, when he went to Chicago on busi-
ness. Miss Gleason had left her
home once or twice before, in one instance
being found on the South side. As she has
now attained her majority the family will
make no effort to trace her. The Detroit
man, on finding his love had escaped, left
for his home wearing the willow.

Disastrous Fire In Ohin.

sTEUBENvILLE, o., March at half
past this evening fire was discovered issu-
ing from the roof of Mossgrove's United
States hotel. The wind was blowing gale
and as great difficulty was experienced in
getting water it was feared for time that
half the city would be destroyed. By
almost superhuman efforts OF the iremen,
however, the flames were confined
to the hotel and adjoining block, including
Cochrans dry goods store, Moffat's dry goods
store and May Bros clothing house. These
were entirely destroyed. During the fire
there were many exciting incidents. When
the flames were raging the fiercest the east
walls of the hotel fell with
terrible crash, killing Andrew
Bickerstaff, fireman, and endangering sew
eral others. Mrs. Mossgrove, wife of the pro-
prietor of the hotel, was lying i'll when the
fire broke out, and she was carried from the
burning building insensible. The loss will
reach S135,000 on which the insurance ia

Ersenssom of the Northern Pacific.

The jamestown and northern branch Of
the Northern Pacific railroad viii be pushed
forward and completed to Mlnnewaukan on
DEVILS Lake just as soon as spring opens.
The work was abandoned in the fall. The
branch is now completed and in operation as
far as New Rockford, point sixteen miles
beyond CarriDgton. The grade is already
completed TO MinnevsuksD, and few
months work win make it ready for the iron,
which has been obtained from the Mis-
souri, division Of the main line. The
bri1ge work is practically done
as far as the Cheyenne river at the Southern
boundary Of the Fort Totten Indian rescrya-
ton. The time set for the completion of the
track to DEVILS lake is set for July /. The
jamestown & Northern is being extended as
a competing line TO the Manitoba for the
Mouse river and Turtle mountain countries.
The terminus Of the Manitoba road is now at
Devil's lake on the North shore, 409 miles
from St. Paul. The entrance Of the James
town 81 Northern branch into Minnevaukan
will shorten the distance Of settlers On
DEVILS lake from railroad communication
By 90 miles.

obedient secretary of the navy to audit his
bills and accept whatever work he may see
fit to offer. Great hopes are entertained here
that not only will the navy be rebuilt under
Mr.. Whitney, but that the American-carry-
ing trade will be restored. Capt. John Cod
man, the old shipmaster, said to-day: "Ihe
rebuilding of the American-carrying trade

AMERICAN FLAGS ON MANY FLEETS.
The present Republican senate is dead
against American shipwing. Last session
Mr.. Cox got through the house an amend
ment to the Dingley bill, admitting free
ships of 4, 900 tons, of foreign build, for for
eign trade The senate struck out the amend
ment by party vote. 1t was small thing,
butt showed the Republican sentiment. Frye
of Maine leads the ship-building interest in
the senate as opposed to the ship-owning in
terest According to bis excited Imagination
Englishmen are so anxious to have Ameri-
cans buy ships where they can get them
cheapest, and go into competition with them,
and that they spend
UNTOLD SUMS OF BRITISH GOLD
annually in Washington to get free ship laws
enacted. Frye's specific is subsidy. With
subsidies he would regulate our shipping.
His reasoning is as cogeDt here as in the
other case. He would give John Roach
a subsidy, so he can run his steamers to
Brazil cheaper than anybody else. and half a
dozen Brazilian lines will at once spring
into existence. Ordinary men with ideas of
that kind are put in straight jackets, but
Frye's logic is accepted by great many
sensible men, who think because they are
Republicans they must support John Roach,
the great contributor to their campaign
funds, along with party principles.

NO CHANCE FOR sPOILS.

An Ultra Conservative Policy That Will
Disappoint Many of the Faithful.
Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The hungry
patriots eager to be attached to the public
payroll felt somewhat disguised when it was
found that the president had sent but two
nominations to the senate to-day. Both had
been discounted. One was Gen. Black to
be commissioner of pensions, and the
other Gen. Falrchild to be assistant
secretary of the treasury. It is beginning to
dawn upon those here that the offices are to
be given out with sparing hand. The
president is inclined to make haste slowly,
and the members Of the cabinet have caught
inspiration. The corridors of all the de-
partments are crowded during the day, and
at night the hotels are packed with crowds who
are beginning to show evidence of despond-
ency. 1t can almost be set down as fixed fact
that there will be no immediate changes in
the offices, except to fill vacancies. The pre-
sentation of any claims for mere party SER
vices does not weigh a feather. When the
vacancies occur the president will fill them
with Democrats, but until then his policy will
be to let the incumbents nowin hang on, ,un-
less there are other than partisan charges
brought against them. His policy will bring
a wall throughout the land, and
the president will no doubt be
subjected to criticism. This he
expects, but he thinks in the end he will be
sustained. 1t ought to be comforting to
those at home to realize that their chances
for obtaining Offices are Just as good as those
on the ground, under heavy hotel expenses.
The con gressional delegations have under
taken te simplify Office troubles by farming
them out. The president receives all such
delegations with much courtesy, and then
refers those seeking places to the depart
ments respectively having the matter in
charge.

THE IOWA FLOODS.
The Ice Gorge in the Des Noines River Still.
Solid.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe
KEoKUK, Ia, March 9.-The ice gorge at
the mouth of the Des Moines river still re-
mains firm and now extends to one
mile above Sand Prairie,
distance of sixteen miles, in
which the ice is piled high and scattered over
the surrounding country. From Point
Prairie to Eddyville, distance of seventy
five miles, the river is entirely clear OF ice,
but it is badly gorged just above the latter
place, and the wagon bridge at that
town was damaged to-day By having
one pier torn away, letting two spans
drop into the river. The water has been
falling and no new damage is reported, but
among the farmers on the Missouri side con-
siderable suffering is being experienced
owing 10 the great difficulty in procuring
provisions. The farming country on that
side is covered from 81. FrancisviIle to
Gregory landing on the Mississippi, dis
tance of seven miles, and the inundated dis
trict has much the appearance Of
lake. Many farmers had taken the pre-
caution to build their houses above the high
water mark Of 1851, and owing to this many of
them, as yet, are above the waters reach,
but they are completely surrounded and cut
OF from outside communication, except By
means Of skifs, and such means are
scarce, owing 10 the heavy ice on both sides
Of the flooded country. The railroads
are getting into shape again. The Rock Is
land has succeeded in repairing all breaks,
and ran trains as usual to-day. The Wa
bash company IS still shut out, but expects to
be able 70 get trains through in day or tEo.

Public Printer Likely to Stay.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March Out of the push
and scramble for place comes the report that
President Cleveland is averse to making any
change in the Office of public printer. The
office is in splendid condition. Never within
the history of that department has
the printing of the congressional record and
other public documents been so promptly
and well executed. There are aspirants for
the position by the score, but the probabilities
are that Rounds excellent management of
the institution will carry more weight with
the average congressman than mere partisan
considerations, and that he will be allowed to
remain as long as he chooses.
