A NIOrnlOn,s Gall.

SALT LAKE, May 11.-When Angus
Cannon, president of ''this stake" was
called up for sentence yesterday he said he
was conscious of having violated no law
His conscience was serene. He had obeyed
the Edmunds law as he understood it.
That is, while living in the same house
with his wives, he had intercourse with
but one. He loved his children and was
gratified to hear the court say the law has
made all his children equal heirs. His
record was before the country and his heart
and conscience were visible to God who
created him. The record of his life in
contact with this people here he turned
and waved his hand to the crowd)
bore him up to receive such sentence as the
court should impose. He felt pleased also
that the court had stated his conduct toward
his respective wives since the passage of
the Edmunds' bill should be taken into con-
sideration when the sentence of the court
should be passed. He would try to bear up
under any sentence it might intiict and in
such manner as to show he had not lost his
manhood. Cannon's speech was received
with great applause, which the marshals
had to check. When the court asked Can
non if he declined to make any promise in
regard to the future, he replied: 81 have
never been in the habit of making to chill
dren promises lest they should fail"

A Bad Selection.

Special 10 the GlODe.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The appoint
ment of E. o. Graves to be chief of the
bureau Of engraving and printing is the
subject of much adverse criticism. Graves
is now the assistant treasurer of the United
States, and has doubtless been transferred
to his new place in order to give United
States Treasurer Jordan an assistant of his
own selection. Graves has had his hat out
for every Office which has become vacant
around the treasury for years. He
was never known to be Democrat until
after Cleveland was elected, and there is no
evidence of it save his own statement. He
is a civil service reformer, and was a MEM
Der of the civil service treasury board. The
Office he is now given has 1900 places to
fill outside of the civil service law. 1t is
urged, for such valuable place as this, a
Democrat should have been appointed
whose Democracy was unquestioned, and
not of such kind as has to be accepted
merely upon a profession of faith.

The Railroad Strike.

DENVER, Col, May 11.-Contrary to
general expectation, the official of the Den
yer 6 Rio Grande did not reopen the shops
to-day. At 6 o'clock this morning 1000
strikers and employees of the Burlington
and Union Pacific roads congregated op-
posite the Denver & Rio Grande shops. A
declaration of independence was read and
Knights of Labor songs sung. The
presence of the large crowd deferred
the weakened strikers and others from
going to work. The officials say the shops
will surely be reopened in few days. Yes
terday afternoon large mass meeting was
held at the rink and was addressed by ex-
Congressman Belford, who severely criti-
cised Judge Hallet of the United States
court for sending several strikers to jail for
sixty days for contempt in interfering with
workmen in the early days of last week.
The cause of the strike was not touched
upon by any of the speakers,

AN ELECTRICAL MALADY.
A Notable Case Washington Doctors
are Studying.

are St1ea ing
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-Some Washing
ton doctors are watching with interest
the development, or rather the course,
of peculiar ailment which has come
upon Chief Cronin of the district fire de-
partment. The malady is an unusual one,
but with the adoption of electricity to
manifold uses it may, in the view of medi-
cal men, become quite common or at least
soon cease to possess novelty. Several
weeks ago the chief was on the top of
high building directing the brigade's work
upon fire. 1t was in the night and he
carried his lantern swinging in one hand.
In moving about he stepped behind an cleo
tric wire, the insulation of which had be-
come damaged Suddenly the lantern was
wrenched out of his hand. From the
effects of the shock he reeled and staggered
and would have fallen over the edge of the
roof had not two of his men grasped him.
In short time the numbneSs passed off and
the chief continued to attend to
his duties. He supposed that the injury
was only temporary, but the weeks of
misery which have passed since have shown
otherwise. There is nervous disorder
which puzzles the physicians. In the
morning, upon awakening, the chief is af-
fected with dizziness to the extent that,
strong a man as he is, he has repeatedly
tainted away. During the day he suffers
from feeling of depression and
restlessness, except when some
thing occurs to engross his mind.
He Graves excitement continually, and the
only hours of restfulness and mental salts
faction he experiences are when he has
fire on hand. The changing of the bells he
halls as most welcome of sounds. The
doctors have prescribed one thing and
another without favorable result. They are
now talking Of trying seton in the back OF
the neck. just below the base of the
brain. Chief Cronin has not been
confined to his room, but under the
influence of this wretched wearing nervous
ness he is beginning to grow haggard. The
treatment thus far has necessarily been ex-
perinental, and doctors admit that they
have not found the remedy.

THE CRIME RECORD.
a NHurderer,s Leap for Life.

WAsHINGToN, May 11.-Langster, the
murderer of Police Officer Fowler, who is
to be hanged in this city ON Friday next,
made q desperate attempt to escape to-day.
He was taking exercise in the inclosure set
apart for that purpose, which is separated
from tile central court Of the jail by an iron
lattice-work fence, and when the officer in
charge for the day opened a gate in the
fence to pass through to the court, he sud-
denly attacked and Overpowered the guard
on the inside and then struck Woodward,
the officer who was passing through the
gate, and made his way into the central
court. He was quickly secured, however,
before he got any further, and was hustled
back into his cell. Several parties who
have interested themselves to secure re-
prieve for Langster went to the attorney
generals Office to urge the matter upon his
attention, but learning that the president
had looked into the case and received the
report of medical expert as to the sanity
of the prisoner, and was satisfied that
Langster knew right from wrong, they did
not proceed any further

ConsuI TayIor,s Renort.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-United States
Consul Taylor, at Winnipeg, has telegraphed
the secretary of state, relative to the
fight Saturday between Riel and Middleton.
He says: ''Gen. Middleton reconnoitered
the position of Rel's force at Batoche's, Sat
urday, with loss of one killed and seven
wounded. The guns of the two batteries
would have been captured by separate
rally of the insurgents except for the exc
cution Of a Gatling gun served by the agent
of Connecticut manufacturers. The enemy
was strongly intrenched Saturday night
against surprise. The battle began by
sharp firing on the steamer Northcote,
which passed down stream three miles
quite disabled"

sexes who cheered and waved their handker-
chiefs. The Royal SCOTS, another we'll
disciplined regiment, is under orders to
leave and may 60 at any moment.

AGREED TO DISAGREE.
The ST. Louis Road Notified to Find
Some other Quarters.

Late yesterday afternoon the report
gained currency that the Manitoba Railroad
company had notified the Minneapolis &
st. Louis Railroad company that after
June 1 they could neither use the union
station at Minneapolis nor run their trains
over the Manitoba road to st. Paul. A
GLOBE reporter called on Vice President
Truesdale of the Minneapolis e St. Louis
and from him learned the following:
The Minneapolis & St. Louis road never
had any contract with the Manitoba. A
memorandum of agreement had been
drawn, the terms of which were, in sub
stance, that the Minneapolis & st. Louis
should have the use of the union depot and
tracks on the same terms as were given the
Omaha and Northern Pacific companies
'Last fall, said Mr.. Truesdale, ''the con-
tract itself was presented to us and its terms
were so widely different from the agreement
that we refused to accept them. The time
at which the contract was to go in effect
was June 1, and this time we endeavored
to have extended but Mr.. Hill, in the
presence of Mr.. Marvel, declined to extend,
consequently on the 1st of June our rela-
tions terminate. There was no notification
by the Manitoba company"
Mr.. Truesdale said he was not prepared
to say by what means his company would
obtain immediate connection with st. Paul,
but, in the absence of any other plan, the
presumtion is an endeavOr will be made to
secure terms with the Milwaukee road.
The Northern Pacific Short line will be in
operation within year, and the Minneapo-
lis & St. Louis will come into joint own
ership. At present the Northern Pacific
uses city tracks belonging to the Minneapo-
lis & st. LOUIS The latter has already be-
gun condemnation proceedings to cross
the Manitoba track ON First street,
and also proceedings to strengthen
its title to right of way in the
city. The company is now en-
gagged in refitting its depot on Fourth ave-
nue. south, between Washington avenue
and Third street, and will spend 50, 500 in
putting up new buildings The matter of
future passenger facilities is not yet def
nitely settled, but should the St. Paul &5
Duluth and the Northern Pacific join issues
with the Minneapolis & St. Louis, another
union depot may be convenient.
General Manager Marvel of the Mani
toba road said the Minneapolis & st. Louis
road was notified because it had not signed
the contract and because they could not
agree with it on terms. 1t is understood
that the trouble which eliminated yester-
day has been brewing for some time. The

To Aid the Settlers.

OTTAWA, May lin the house of COM
mons to-day Sir John Macdonald said an
incomplete account of the fight at Duck
Lake had been received, but further par
ticulars had been asked for. He also said
that the government was considering the
question Of asking vote for the relief Of
the settlers of the northwest, who have
been driven from their homes and their
property destroyed by the rebels. The
house again went into committee of the
whole on the franchise bill.

COIN IN THE TREASURY.
Mine Millions OF silver i'm Bags--
Twelve Tons of Gold.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-An official who
is engaged in counting the cash in the
treasury vault furnishes some interesting
information about the amount and weight
thereof. There is $9,000,0 600 of silver in
bags, each containing $1,000, weighing
fifty-nine pounds and three ounces. So
S1GO, 900 in silver would pull down the bal
ance at about three tons, and 81, ,000,00
would be nearly sixty thousand pounds.
The entire amount Of coined silver now in
the treasury vaults, it is estimated, will
weigh 534, roo pounds. A pound OF gold
coin is worth $40, and $3.50, 900 OF it
weighs ton. There are nearly twelve tons
of gold fives, tens and twenties in the
country's strong box at the treasury. Of
paper money, too, there is an enormous
amount. One hundred and fifty millions of
dollars are in five, two and One-dOllar bills.
About seven of these bills measure yard
in length. so a greenback belt that would
reach around the world almost twenty times
could be made in the United States notes
now in the vaults and in circulation. The
money, of course, is not counted coin by
coin. The gold and silver is weighed very
carefully on the finest and most accu-
rately fitted scales that were ever made.
Though 1000 pounds can be weighed
at time. pin placed on the balance will
tip it. The hardest worked men of all who
are employed in this count are those who
handle money. The place in which their
work has to be done is very close, and after
a forenoon down there they come up to the
outer world completely exhausted. II
have handled Goals in the engine room at
the bottom of an ocean steamer in the
tropics said one of them the other day,
'swhen it was as hot as perdition, but moth
ing has ever so exhausted me as does this
money carrying. There is fine.
impalpable dust which the displacing of
bags sets afloat. The throat and lungs be-
come nearly filled with it in an hour or two
and the sensation is terrible" Even with
the modern plan of weighing the coin, the
entire count will not be completed much
before June 1, and it usually takes
months hard work to close up the business
and make detailed report to the secretary.

FROM ACROSS THE OCEAN.
The Outlook for Immigration From
Europe This Season.

George V. Shines, general European
agent for the Northern Pacific road, sta
toned at Liverpool, Eng, is in the city,
and in regard to the emigration outlook
yesterday said to GLOBE reporter: ''The
general expectation was that there would
be big falling off in immigration this sea-
son over that of 1884, but so far it has
turned out much better than expected, eS-
pecially from Germany. The principal
reasons for this were the fear of war, the
complications, and then the low rates rul-
ling. Only for these reasons very few
would have left Europe this season, as
crops were first-class over there last year,
and the price Of wheat was never lower,
which two facts put the class of peO-
pie who generally emigrate, in
a position OF easy maintenance.
1t is felt though that prosperity in England
only comes through prosperity in America.
The rates for emigrant passage by nearly all
the steamers is "a, this being an increase Of
81 from the rate in effect last season,
brought about by a conference of the steam
ship lines.
COMPETITION AMONG THE STEAMSHIP
LINES

At that time there were only few crossing
and each company would make strong efforts
to secure what there was, which resulted in
the decentralization of rates. The Cunard
line is doing big saloon business, while
the German, Lloyd and the Hamburg line
of steamers are bringing load every trip.
The Thingwalla can hardly find room in its
ships to store the number who wish to
cross. A large number of tourists will
arrive this season from London, and
other European cities, and visit the Yellow
stone park and Puget Sound. The bulk of
the English who came out this season will
60 to Washington Territory and British
Columbia and make their homes there.
THE CANADIAN PACIFIC
has been doing great deal of advertising
over in Europe, at a cost of about $3,000,-
900, to induce emigration to points on it's
line, bnt since the rebellion many of those
who intended settling in Manitoba have de
cided to go farther west to British Columbia,
and then by judicious advertising on the
part of the Northern Pacific road, those who
would have gone over the Canadian Pacific
line will now go over the Northern Pacific
road. A number of English capitalists are
looking to the cattle interests in Montana
instead Of Texas. The Northern Pacific
road has nearly 5000 agents throughout
Europe working up business at no cost to
the company. These agents get 6 shillings
commission from the steamship companies
for each passenger they book, and as the
Northern Pacific country is the most popu-
lar, the agents book to points out west.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Among the ar
ticles received at the dead letter office yes-
terday was an oblong pasteboard box that
had been forwarded from Springfield, Ill.
A sudden explosion followed the removal of
the lid and at the same time bullet went
whizzing across the room and buried itself in
the wainscotting directly opposite. Had
the position of the box been reversed, the
person opening it would have received the
bullet in his body. An examination
of the box showed wicked-looking reyol-
yer of the Bulldog" make, which was so
connected with the lid as to explode in
stantly when the latter was touched. The
box is believed to have been sent from Bos-
ton. Mass. 1t was addressed to young
lady of Springfield to whom, in some way,
it failed to be delivered; and after having
been held the required number of weeks it
was sent to the dead letter Office here. The
postal authorities will endeavor to discover
the identity of the sender.
