MONOPOLY OF PACIFIC BUSINESS.
The Settlement of TranscontinentaI Pool
Afairs Atcaitin0 tts Action of
the Central Pacific.


Afairs Atcaiting tbs Action of
the Central Pacific.
The Transcontinental Pool association is
in peculiar situation, and unless the Cen
tral Pacific consents to retract its declaration
not to reduce rates, it is impossible TO say
what will become of the pool. The Central
Pacific has the entire monopoly of California
business. The Union Pacific connects with
it at Ogden, and the Texas Pacific near Ell
Paso. Some time ago the Central Pacific
agreed not to interfere with Portland, Or,
business, if the Northern Pacific would keep
out of San Francisco, and thus it has the
whole western slope at its mercy, and can
dictate terms to all Pacific lines excepting
the Northern Pacific. 1t also has an arrange
ment with the New Orleans Pacific, whereby
il can freight between New York and San
Francisco at lower rate than the other lines
aud at the same time get longer haul over
its own lines. This condition of things has
been endured as long as possible by the
Transcontinental pool lines, and they
made a lower rate from Chicago to
the Pacific to meet that Of the
Southern route. The Central Pacific refused
to accept business at the reduced rate, but
insists on the full tariff rate upon through
freight carried over its lines. The lines
which give this business to the Central Pa
cific are therefore at great disadvantage, as
they have to do their share of the business at
an exceedingly low rate, or in other words,
give their profit to the Central Pacific. For
the present the freight will mostly go by the
Santa Fe and Atlantic 81 Pacific system. The
contest, until another line reaches the Pa
cifc, will be an interesting one as the Cen
tral is great monopoly and will exert itself
to shut out all competitors.

WASHINGTON, March 13-Among those
conversant with all the facts in regard to the
speck OF war which has arisen in Central
America, the matter is con sdered of far
graver Importance than the size of the coun-
tries directly involved would make it seem.
The fact is, if Barrios persists in his assump-
ton OF dictatorship, not only will Mexico
take lively hand in the fight, as indicated
by President Diazs energetic pronouncia-
mento, but the United States can scarcely
avoid taking hand in it, with by no
means remote probability of Euro
pean Intervention, at least diplomat
ically, and bringing up of
the Monroe doctrine again for adjudication,
possibly of arms between the United States
and one or more European powers. In that
event the little troubles now going on in
Madagascar, Egypt and China, and threat
ened in Afghanistan, would cut very small
figure, indeed. The understanding in diplo-
matte circles here is that Barrios is inspired
by France and possibly also by England, in
order to render a completion of the Mica
raguan canal impossible, and it is readily
understood how casus belli is liable to
arise any day if Barrios's troops go
charging through Nicaragua, which would
compel armed intervention by the United
States A thing which adds to the probabil-
ity of British influence at work there, is the
fact that Honduras has conceded Barrios'
pretens sions. Diaz's readiness to throw down
the glove to Barrios is also attributed to
American influence. Jay Gould has a scheme
on foot to build railroad right through these
troubled states and into South America. The
money king has been wise enough
to secure Diaz's influence, and
diplomats here see Gould back
OF Diaz's fierce proclamation in this
connection. President Cleveland's action
yesterday in sending message to the senate
for the purpose of Withdrawing the Spanish
and Nicaraguan treaties has deep signif-
canoe. Barrios' proclamation has led the
friends of the Ncaraguan treaty to urge it's
immediate ratification by the senate,
and President Cleveland evidently doesn't
want this done just now, and to
provide against all contingencies proposes
to get it into his own hands as soon
as possible. Whether it is for the purpose
of negotiating for more favorable terms from
Nicaragua or with view of suppressing the
matter entirely till congress convenes next
December, and so doing whatever he can to
keep out of bad mess altogether, remains
to be seen. The belief is expressed in
diplomatic circles that neither of these
treaties will again be seen by the senators
during the existing extra session.

stfraud roll" This action reduces the num-
Der of agents to twenty-five inspectors and
the fraud pol of employees to fifteen. 1t was
stated at the department that these changes
are made solely in the interests OF economy,
and that there will be new appointments to
fill the vacancies created. Secretary Manning
has also decided that hereafter appropriations
for the prevention and detection of frauds
upon the customs revenue shall not be used
for the purpose of making permanent ap-
pointments, but shall be confined strictly to
paying for information received concerning
revenue frauds, and to enable the depart

A CRANKY PEDAGOGUE.
Boy Expelled from School Because He
Couldn't Sing and was Catholic

Couldn't Sing and was Catholic.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March 13.-The religious war at
Rogers park over the alleged exclusion Of
Stephen F. Ennis, the fourteen-year-old or
phan, from the public school on account of
his being Roman Catholic and refusing to
participate in religious exercises of the
school, instituted and conducted by the
teacher, Philip Recher, has broken cut again
in greater violence than ever. Ennis applied
lately to Judge Tuley for an injunction
restraining Recher and the school directors
from excluding him from school for religious
reasons, and that Judge Tuley deferred his
decision and required Ennis to return to
school and see If he was interfered with
again, and promised that if he should be the
desired injunction would be granted. 1t
seems that Ennis returned TO school and that
all went well for while, but few days ago
Recher found fault with him because he
would not sing. Mr.. Ennis says that Stephen
can't sing and that no member of his family
ever could sing. Nevertheless, as Stephen
would not sing, Recher for the second
time told him to take his books and go
home and not return until ne could sing.
The next day he returned and told Recher
that his brother had instructed him to return
to school and stay there whether he sang or
not. This led to difficulty between him
and Recher, which resulted, it is alleged, in
Recher giving him an old-fashioned fogging,
dragging him down stairs and throwing in
few kicks for good measure. Stephen has
three grown brothers and two of them set
out to thrash the school teacher, but were
intercepted by Mr.. Lawrence NJ Ennis ana
persuaded to forego this pleasure, on the
score that Recher was club-footed
man and sort of cripple.
To complicate things still further,
Recher has also dismissed Stephens sister
from school for some frivolous reason. Mr..
Ennis has served written notice on the di
rectors of the conduct of the teacher, and to-
day sent Stephen back to school to try Recher
once more. If all his wrongs are not speed
lily righted he will begin three courses of ac
ton. He will apply to Judge Tuley for the
iujun ctions, he will sue Recher and the di-
rectors for damages, and he viii arrest and
prosecute Recher for assault and battery.

A Feeling of Relief.

LONDON, March 13.-Members of the COM
mons heard Gladstone's announcement Of
an agreement between England and Russia
with almost general sense of relief. The
agreement affords reason to hope that war
will yet be averted by diplomatic means. It
is believed that Sir Peter Lumsden has the
Afghans sufficiently under control to prevent
collision between the Afghan and Russian
outposts, pending pacific settlement Of the
frontier dispute. Some prominent Conser-
vatives, however, point out the agreement
will not prevent Russia from massing troops
on the border of the debatable territory, and
they object to the Russians being allowed to
remain, even Temporarily, on territory
claimed as belonging to Afghanistan.

Local Yte,. of the Strike.

The opinion in railroad circles in St. Paul
is that the strike on the Gould system will
not be felt seriously in the Northwest, nor
will it have any influence on the employees
of northwestern roads. The Missouri Pacific
had been doing paying business, which the
employees were aware of, and when road is
doing paying business it must
have capable men to operate it. The Oregon
Navigation might, but it is hardly probable
that it will be effected, for when the wages
of the employees on it were reduced, the road
was not doing sufficient business to pay ex-
penses, and this the employees knew, and con-
sdered it only fair that they should have part
of their earnings to help the company in its
financial difficulties. The Union Pacific, it
is thought, will escape any trouble from en-
ployes as wages were not reduced on that
line,

CHICAGO, March 13.-The celerity with
which Jack Burke, the Irish lad, covered
Paddy Ryan's forfeit, rather surprised the
latter pugilist and at the same time set him
to thinking. Many persons were of the
opinion that there would be no set-to be-
tween the experts, that Ryan never intended
to meet the Irish lad in the ring, much less
fight to a finish, and it begins to look
as though those prophecies would come
true. '.Parson" Davies, in behalf of Burke,

others to agree upon place of meeting. AS

Probability of on Ansicable Settlement by
Tomorrow.
Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, March 13.-R. s. Hayes, first
vice president, and Col. Hoxie, third vice
president, of the Missouri Pacific road were
closeted nearly all day yesterday in Capt.
Hayes private Office with ex-Goy. Brown of
Tennessee, the general solicitor
of the road. While the gentle
men were closeted together a telegram
was received from Gov Martin of Kansas,
saying that he would be here on Sunday to
meet them, accompanied by the railroad
com missioners of his state. Gov. Martin
was wired to come. At the same time
telegram was sent to Gov. Marmaduke invit-
ing him to attend Sundays meeting here when
plan of future action will be arranged.
Col. Hoxie then telegraphed to the general
superintendent at Sedalia to take what steps
he could quietly tomorrow to move trains,
but to avoid all trouble, and if necessary to
let matters remain in statu quo until after
the Sunday conference. 1t is expected that
the railroad will agree to restore the old wages
after the strikers cease interfering with
the running of trains, but will refuse to
make any promises or treat with them until
they do. Gov. Marmaduke still holds the
troops at Centertown. The strikers claim
that in requesting the engineers not
to run out trains they use no violence
or threats, and that what they do is
perfectly lawful, and they are backed up ia
this view of the matter by the citizens of
Sedalia. The railroad company, on the other
hand, claims that in requesting engin GERS rot
to run the strikers are really intimidat-
ing them. The governor would have
the strikers arrested or dispersed if he could
make up his mind that they were intimidat-
ing the engineers, but be has not settled
that point yet, and until he does he will hold
the troops where they are, neither ordering
them forward nor to return home to st. Louis.

the prosecution rested the case. The de-
fense had not concluded the examination of
