Another Disturbamce,

The Northwestern Traffic association is
again in trouble, and unless wise counsels
prevail another war on rates may result.
The trouble is regarding the business going
east from ST. Paul and Minneapolis via the
Washburn route of the Omaha line. The
Milwaukee & st. Paul claims that the
Omaha isl diverting much of the business
that would go east into the North
western Traffic association to Washburn,
from which point it is taken by steamer to
Buffalo, where the business is given to the
New York Central. Under the old pool
ing agreement the Washburn route and the
st. Paul & Duluth have been given a GER
tain percentage for their business to Wash
burn and Duluth. Efforts have been made,
since the reorganization of the Northwestern
Traffic association, to agree upon percent
age to be given to stop it from cutting the
rates, but nothing could be done, as the
Omaha demanded more than the Milwaukee
& ST. Paul and Minneapolis & st. Louis
roads were willing to pay. The routes to
Washburn and Duluth are short, and better
through rates to the East can be made than
via Milwaukee and Chicago

A BAD BREAK.
The Canadian Pacific Changes Time
and FOrgets st. Paul.

The Canadian Pacific Changes Time
and Forgets st. Paul.
Owing to change of time on the part of
the Canadian Pacific railway, passengers
taking the $3.50 p. M, train from st. Paul
for Winnipeg will be obliged to change cars
at Gretna. The trains to and from Winni-
peg leaving St. Paul in the morning run as
usual, via ST. Vincent without change. The
sos a. IN. train from st. Paul leaves Elmer
son at $40 a. m. and arrives at Winnipeg at
1880 a.. IN. Under the new time trains will
leave St. Paul at sos a. m. and arrive al
Emerson at $3.50 a. m. and Winnipeg al
11:15 a. M, three and half hours longer
than the present time. Coming south, the
train which leaves Winnipeg at sos p. m.
and arrives at Emerson at 1850 p. M, will,
after the new time takes effect, leave Winni-
peg at $3.50 D. m. and arrive at Emerson al
D. IN. The st. Paul & Manitoba train
does not leave Emerson until 1850 p. M, a
difference of four and half hours.
Going north by way of Gretna no change
i'm time will be made. Instead of arriving
at Winnipeg at 6:15 and taking two and
three-fourth hours for the trip, the Canadian
Pacific train will leave Gretna at 1926 p. m.
and arrive at $3.50 p. m. The $40 a. m.
train will arrive at Gretna at 11:40 p. M,
taking three hours longer. Under the new
time the train will leave Winnipeg at 10
a. m, taking five hours to arrive at Gretna,
at 3 p. m. The Manitoba train leaves at
1915. thus missing connection. This
change is made through sheer independence
on the part of the Canadian Pacific road,
now that it has it's line between Winnipeg
and Montreal completed, and it is not at all
unlikely that it will advertise the delay at
Emerson to increase the travel over it's own
line. Manitoba officials feel quite indignant
at the change, and will perhaps hit back
in way that the Canadian Pacific has not
thought of,

rhe Trunk Line Situation.

New YORK, May 27.-The market is
unquestionably in the control of the bulls.
and the bears are conseq lently unwilling to
increase their short sales for fear of
squeeze; but the affairs of the trunk lines
east of Chicago are in such middle that
the bulls hesitate to make use of their posi-
ton in the market prices. AS intimated
yesterday there is very little prospect of a
restoration of rates east of Chicago. The
West Shore is doubtless near the point of
exhaustion and would be glad to restore
rates, but the New York Central
people can see that to restore rates
just now would only prolong the fight
with that road, and that it is better to pur-
sue the fight until the West Shore is COM
pletely exhausted. Then after reorgani-
cation of the West Shore, which is an alb
solutely indispensable prerequisite, some
lasting peace may be agreed upon between
these roads. The Pennsylvania, however,
has another similar and possibly more diff
cult case to deal with in the South Penn
sylvania, in the building of which Mr. Van
derbilt has copied the tactics of the builders
of the Nickel Plate and the West Shore,
and the Pennsylvania in turn is copying his
tactics with the West Shore, though it is
likely to have a more difficult problem to
deal with

PRESIDENT CABLE ARRIVES
And COnsuIts Manitoba official
Regarding the MI. & st. l..

And COnSultS Manitoba Officials
Regarding the Nj. & st. l..
President Gable of the Rock Island road
arrived in ST. Paul yesterday afternoon
from Chicago, and soon after repaired to the
Manitoba general Office, where he met in
consultation with General Manager Marvel
of that line. The talk did not last long,
but it is stated that in that short time ar
rangements were made for a continuation
of the present relations existing between
the Manitoba and the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis. 1t was also stated that the point at
issue was that the Manitoba wanted to
make a contract with the Minneapolis &
st. Louis for no less time than year, and
the relations should be the same as they
were before the latter company ran its en-
gines into ST. Paul. Mr.. Gable left last
evening over the Manitoba road for Winni-
peg. An official of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis road, in an interview said:
81 do not think there will be war in
passenger rates, for it is necessary as much
to the Manitoba as to the Minneapolis u
st. Louis that the difficulty should be
patched up in some way. The Manitoba
would not be directly interested in an
Eastern rate war, but the Milwaukee
would, and that company. before it would
see rates denloralized, would let us run in
over it's line. If we were shut out through
pure stubbornness on the part of some of the
officials of the Manitoba road President
Cable is just the man who would retaliate
by making junction points on the Manitoba
line. Should both these lines refuse to al
low the Minneapolis & st. Louis to enter
st. Paul war would be brought about, and
the Milwaukee & ST. Paul would be re-
sponsible. The Milwaukee & ST. Paul can
better afford to haul Minneapolis q ST..
Louis trains between the two cities than
have decentralization of rates. 1t would
not lose perhaps 81, 900 or 500, 900, but it
might amount to half million or million,
for warsssometimes spreads badly.
President Gable was interviewed before
leaving st. Paul, and said that no arrange
ment could be made with the Manitoba, and
for time, until the Northern Pacific short
line is completed, passenger trains between
Minneapolis and st. Paul will be aban-
doned. The freight business between the
two cities will be done through the medium
of the Minnesota Transfer.

Philadelphia Bellies.

PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-Margaret
Brooks was convicted to-day of being a
common scold and was sentenced to four
months imprisonment. After her sentence
her eighteen year-old daughter jumped to
her feet and struck one of the
witnesses, an aged lady, in the
face with her fist. The mother
and daughter then became intensely ex-
cited, crying, screaming and shrieking right
and left. After the mother had been re-
moved to the prison van, the judge SEN
fenced the daughter also to four months
Imprisonment for contempt of court.
At this announcement the girl
became frantic, began screaming at
the top of he voice and resisted, desper-
ately, the officers who took hold of her to
remove her to the van. She fought with all
her strength and being a strong, robust
young woman it took all the strength of
two Of the strongest officers Of the court to
remove her from the room.

sCOOPED AGAIN.

We know that it is not the proper thing
to laugh at man when he is down, or to
make merry over neighbor when in ILL
luck, and if it had not been for the ludi-
crous horn blowing of the Pioneer Press in
its attempt to pose as an enterprising news
paper in connection with the Northwestern
war, we would not say word about the
clumsy way it has of stumping its toe and
tripping itself in every single effort at ell
terprise it has made. 1t claims to be the
only American newspaper that has war
correspondent in the field in the Northwest,
and yet it seems to be about the only Amer
lean newspaper that never has any reliable
news from the seat of war. RIEI was
captured, the rebellion was broken, and the
first information our neighbor had of it was
from the news columns of the GLOBE.
While its war correspondent was puff
ing himself on the capture of few
old COWS that probably had strayed into
MIDDLEToN's camp, the GLOBE was pub
fishing the news of RIEL's capture twenty
four hours in advance of any other Amer
lean newspaper. Then came the POUND
MAKER break two weeks ago, in which our
drowsy contemporary endeavored to wake
up to the fact that war had been going on
in the Saskatchewan country, and imposed
upon its readers dispatch dated at Winni-
peg when nobody at Winnipeg had even
heard rumor such as the Pioneer Press
published for fact. Then, while its war
correspondent was sending narrowing ac-
count of junction of PoUNDMAKER's
force with BIG BEAR, and what fearful
war the two leaders were going to wage
against the Canadian government, the
GLOBE was publishing the news of POUND
MAKERS surrender-again twenty-four
hours in advance of other American morning
dailies. The leopard cannot change his
spots, neither can an sold Hundred sort
of a newspaper like our Third street con-
temporary inject enterprise into its ancient
hulk. 1t has had its day and will be COM
PEELED to stand aside for its younger and
more enterprising contemporaries.

THE GLoBE,s ENTERpRIsE

Yesterday mornings GLOBE was the only
paper in the United States to give the news
of PoUNDMAKER's surrender. Taking this
in connection with the fact that the GLOBE
was twenty-four hours in advance of all the
American morning newspapers announcing
the news of RIEL's capture, we think we
are not liable to censure if we do have
slight attack of the big head. To be able to
eclipse the entire American press in our
news department is something that any
journal can afford to be proud of, and if we
do crow little over it we feel that our
patrons will not only indulge us, but will
join with us in the exultation, for in doing
ourselves credit we are also fulfilling our
obligation to them when we promised to
give our readers all the news and the very
latest. The GLOBES ambition under
its present management is to excel
as newspaper, and in order to
attain that purpose will use every
available means without regard to pains or
expense, to gather all the latest and most
authentic news from all quarters of the
world in which events are Transporting that
the public will be interested in. We know
that the best newspapers are sometimes
liable to be mistaken in the sources from
which information is derived, but to illus
trate tie reliability of the GLOBES agencies
for collecting authentic news, we ask par
don for citing few cases of recent oc-
currence. We begin with the capture of
REL, to which we have already referred.
and in which We ':scoopedn the entire
American press. In the next place all of
our contemporaries insisted that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. BAssFoRD as supervising
architect had been revoked. The GLOBE
singly and alone asserted the contrary.
Further developments confirmed the GLOBE.
Next came the Pioneer Press with a fam
ing announcement of PoUNDMAKER's sur
render. Readers of the GLOBE wondered
for awhile ilcv it was that we had been

THE Pioneer Press continues to force on a
patient public letters from the Saskatchewan
region, which are now as much ancient his
tory as the story of DORR's Rebellion in
Rhode Island. 1t printed on Sunday an ac-
count of the skrmish at Batoche, which took
place twelve days before. Details of the great
battles in the Franco-German war were pub
lished in this country the day after each con-
flict, while the events Of the Russo-Turkish
war were reported in detail with equal rapid
ity. In this day. when news is flashed from
India and Egypt and is read throughout this
country before it has been circulated in Eng
land, the course of the Pioneer Press is pos
itively appalling. For the credit of American
journalism it should desist.

The Antiq ne Waist.
From the Magazine of Art.

From the Magazine of Art.
I believe it is said that the corset was not
known to Rome; but it is clear that the
Greek and Roman women, as whole,
were quite convinced that the human form
was itself beautiful, so that they made no
attempt to dis6gure it by compression.
or addition. Young girls were dressed
simply, chastely, and yet elegantly, in the
flowing stola, slightly open at the
throat and occasionally falling in two sets
of folds. On the eve of marriage they
were clad in white robe called the regilla.
After that event they wore the girdle.
which the Roman matrons generally placed
Immediately beneath the bosom. Some
times it was band, and at other times
cord tied in bow, over which the folds of
the upper part of the dress fell gracefully.
Among the Greeks. though not infrequently
worn as just described, it was often placed
lower down; occasionally the stola was
bound about the bosom by a band passing
over the right shoulder and under the left
breast. This gave the right arm liberty for
action, and it was only for this object, or
for speedy motion, that the waist cord ever
seems to have been drawn very tight. so
little did the Greek and Roman women
think OF the waist that in great numbers of
draped statues their mantles are so arranged
as to hide it altogether.

THE ANGLo-IRIsH CONFLICT.

The determined effort which the Irish
party in the British parliament have re-
solved to make against the renewal of the
crimes act may cause Mr.. GLADSTONE Sc
rious trouble. if it does not actually lead to
the downfall of his ministry. Mr.. PAR
NELL and his followers have refrained to a
large extent from obstruction this session,
but in trials of party strength they have
dealt blows under which the GLADSTONE
ministry still reels.
The crimes act is odious to the Irish peo-
pie because it renders the lord lieutenant
almost an irresponsible ruler. 1t abridges
freedom of the press, limits the right of the
people to hold public meetings, impairs the
right of trial by jury and estab-
fishes many vexatious restrictions. The
act is freely condemned by English Radicals
and is so indefensible and unwarTantable
at this moment when Ireland is tranquil
that Mr.. GLADSTONE has offered to mod
ify considerably it's provisions.
Mr.. PARNELL is, however, determined
to accept no compromise measure. By the
aid of Conservative and Radical votes his
party may compel Mr.. GLADSTONE to re-
lent, especially as the premier and other
Liberals do not wish to incur the implaca-
BILE hostility of the Irish vote in the English
cities at the coming general election In
this instance, once more, England's diff
Guilty is likely to be Ireland's opportunity.
