WASHINGTON, April 23.-Since the re-
appointment of Postmaster Pearson of New
York the friends of the postmaster of Bal
timOre have gone to work to secure his re-
appointment if possible. They say he has
made as efficient an officer as Pearson.
Moreover, the latter found the New York
Office in splendid working order when he
entered upon his duties, while Col Adrean.
the Baltimore postmaster, found the office
in the lowest condition of efficiency and has
brought ii TO the highest. They say also
that Col. Adrean served calamity in the
army during the war. and the fact of his
being soldier had great weight with the
late PresidentGarfeld in making the appoint
ment originally. President Cleveland. they
say could hardly afford to turn his back on
the soldiers after reappointing civilians.
They say further that Col Adrean has
obeyed the civil service law to the letter.
He resigned from the state central commit
tee at the beginning of the campaign and
never allowed politics to interfere with the
business of the Office, and altogether has
proved a model officer. A large number of
business men Of Baltimore. without regard
to politics. have interested themselves in
the matter and great many requests have
gone from them to the postmaster general
To continue Col. Adrean for another term.
But there is little expectation here that the
Pearson case viii be more than an exeep-
tion TO the general rule that Republicans
will go when their terms expire.

QU'APPELLE, April 23.-J. Davis, store
keeper at Prince Albert, arrived last night
and reports things well there, except that
flour is short. He also says that Charles
Hewitt, reported killed, is not killed, but is
well and doing well. He was shot in the
calf of the leg and was supposed to be dead,
but an Indian coming up and finding him
not dead, attempted to kill him by striking
him on the head with his gun. He averted
the fatal blow with his hand, but had three
fingers broken in doing so. He, as well as
the rest of the wounded are doing well and
are walking around in the barracks. The
report of Hewitts
KILLING AN INDIAN BY BAYONETING HIM
is true. Nolan, one of Riel's councillors, is
now prisoner in Prince Albert. Volun-
teers and English half-breeds were anxious
to go out and fight Riel, but Col Irvine
would not let them on account of the In
dians who are gathered to the north of them.
Davis arrived by the Carrot river district
and evaded the rebels. A telegram from
the captain of the steamer Northcote to-day
states that the vessel left the Saskatchewan
landing and was pushing on to meet Gen.
Middleton with all possible speed. The
vessel was detained at the landing.
A CALGARY DISPATCH SAYS:
Ingram, chief constable, returned from

They will make forced march to Lone
Pine, sixty-fve miles distant, reaching Red
Deer ON Friday evening. Lieut.. Coryel of
Capt Steeles advance scouts reports that
two of his scouts were fired at by Indians,
who are believed to be Crees. Lieut. Co
ryell and his scouts have taken possession
of settlers house at the crossing of the
Red Deer, and will await the arrival of Gen.
Strange and the First division. The In
dams who raided the stores and settlers
houses at Red Deer are said to be the

CHICAGO, April f23.-Ten cents is the
rate on lumber to CouncilB and Omaha,
in place of 12 cents, the old tariff. This is
not much of cut, but enough to demon
strate that the fight isastill ON. The other
rates were left undiSturbed, but there is a
general opinion expressed thatit'is only a
temporary calm, that will be recon-
menced with renewed vigor before many
days. The stOppage in cuts is
as much of surprise to agents as to out,
siders, and why the rates should fall off 60
per cent. and then remain fixed at that
point is something that they can't explain,
possibly the directors and general managers
do not care to enlighten them. If they did,
it might be demonstrated that there were
strings pulled at the New York end, that
they had more to do with it than any ope-
rating troubles On line of the road. Advant-
age of the Council Bluffs rates has already
been taken. One car load of California
freight was shipped to-day, consigned to
Omaha parties, where it will be reshipped
to the Pacific coast, and more will follow to-
morrow. Some surprise is manifested over
the attitude of the st. Paul road. 1t has
generally been credited with being the ag
gresSor, SO far as making the first
open rate, but at that point it was
conservative, and simply met the North
Westerns under-cut ON ST. Paul traffic, and
in the Northwestern territory it remains
firm, sticking to tariff and refusing to come
down to twenty-per-cent. reduction insti-
tuted by the Northwestern. No explana-
ton is offered at the Office, but elsewhere it
is claimed that the st. Paul road is very
anxious to avoid a fight between Chicago
and st. Paul, and will do the utmost to
prevent it.

The New U. S. Treasurer.

Speclal 10 Jne OlODe-
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The appoint
ment of Conrad n. Jordan of New York to
be treasurer of the United States is worthy
Of more than passing notice. The Office is
worth Sc, 900 year, and next to a cabinet
Office is the most desirable in Washington.
No good Democrat can object to Mr.. Jor-
dan on party grounds or upon
any other. He is Democrat
of the Tilden school and warm friend of
exciting political struggle between the par
ties about the presidential election, Mr..
Jordan was cashier of the Third National
bank in New York. When money was
needed to defBay the expenses in the Ore
gon meeting of the electoral col
lege of that state it was Mr..
Jordan who transferred it by tele-
graph to Portland. He figures
in mysterious cipher kilograms which were
used by Uncle Sammy" in that contest
because of his distrust of both mails and
telegraph. Soon after Manning became
secretary of the treasury he designated Mr..
Jordan to inquire into the system of treas
ury bookkeeping. The result of his
work thus far has been to
present new form, showing
the debt statement in way it could be un-
derStood He is a man of fine appearance,
tall and broad-shouldered, with gray hair
and mustache and an erect, military bear
ing. Mr. Jordan announced this evening
that he would not make any removals on
assuming control of the treasurer's office.
This was done to quiet apprehenSions of
SubordnateS.

Could Not Agree.

At the meeting Of the Chicago, st. Louis
& Missouri River Passenger association in
Arbitrator Hiland's Office at Chicago last
Tuesday evening, there was an animated
about the practice of detaching
that part of tickets between New York and
Chicago from the portion between Chicago
and Missouri river points on through busi-
ness from New York to Missouri river
points, and selling the coupons between
Chicago and the Missouri river through
scalpers at cut rates. A motion was made
that in order to prevent the abuse of
through tickets from the East, the Missouri
river roads should charge full proportions
from their Eastern connections. One or
two general passenger agents bitterly op
posed the proposition that the cross lines
around Chicago could not be con-
'trolled, and that they could not be induced
to join in such an agreement. The propo-
sition, it was argued, was calculated to in
jure the Chicago lines and benefit the lines
running around Chicago. No action was
taken on the proposition.

Central Passenger Meeting.

CINCINNATI, o., April 2S.-The Central
passenger committee has been in session for
dle past three days perfecting details of its
,lans. There was large representation,
and it is understood that the Chicago lines,
except the New York. Chicago q st. Louis
load, are to come in if their competitors do.
Among a long series of resolutions
adopted were the following:
Resolved, That the operation of the penal
rule regarding rate-cutting be suspended at
points where il is impracticable to enforce it
on account of the non-concurrence of any
line and that parties interested notify the
chairman about such points without delay
for the information of the committee.
Resolved, That the right to make
through rates between common
points shall be accorded to
the company or companies having the short
est line between said points
Resolved. That one-way second-class rates
may be made 10 per cent. less than frst-class
rates. and round-trip rates shall not be made
lower than 20 per cent. less than double first
class provided that should the minimum,
herein agreed upon, seriously disturb exist
ing second-class local rates, the roads therein
interested shall agree upon basis and sub
NIT it to this committee for approval.

The War ON Through Business.

A meeting of the general freight agents
of the lines interested in the Iowa, Mime
sofa and Dakota business was held at Mil
waukee Wednesday. There were present
Bird and Keyes of the Milwaukee s. ST.
Paul, Mccullough and HOllenbeck of the
Northwestern, Sage and johnson of the
Rock Island, Block, Diagonal, and Ross of
the Burlington, Wellington of the Wabash,
and Utt of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
& Northern. 1t was decided to firmly hold
the tariff rates in the local territory and the
states named, but no action was taken in
regard to the through business between
Northwestern Traffic association points.
The war on through business cannot be
settled except by the general managers of
therOads themselves, and there are no indi-
cations that they will soonmeet. There is
not likely to be a meeting of the general
managers until the difficulties be-
tween the tripartite cOmbina-
tion and the Northwestern have
been adjusted. The latter is evidently hold
ing off to see what the tripartite roads will
do after the thirty days notice by the afbi-
traitors, in which it is to report its Sioux
City & Pacific and Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley business to the association, expires.
The thirty days will expire the first week in
May, and the Northwestern has no idea of
complying with the arbitrators. the other
roads will no doubt declare the Northwestern
to be no longer member. The indications
are that the Northwestern will have to make
single-handed fight against all other COM
petitOrS, as the Burlington is likely to
MAKE COMMON CAUSE
with the tripartite roads and the Union Pa
cific, as it will be almost as seriously affected
by the Northwestern's new competing line
through Nebraska as the Union Pacific. A
special to the GLOBE from Milwaukee
Wednesday evening stated that
the meeting of general freight
agents was the meeting of the
Iowa lines for the transaction of routine
business, but it has leaked out that upon
the result of the event depended the main
tenance or complete decentralization of grain
rates in Iowa, and that the former condi-
ton has undoubtedly been assured. 1t APP
pears that General Freight Agent Block of
the Diagonal had prepared letter, set
ting forth that the Rock Island had broken
what is known as the Fourth of July agree
ment for the maintenance OF rates to COM
mon points in Iowa; and that unless there
be change in the condition of affairs,
Block would resort to a wholesale cut,
which could not terminate otherwise than
disastrously to the several lines. The gen.
tlemen present took this view of the mat
ter, as the Rock Island was induced to
form grain pool with the Diagonal on
most satisfactory terms with the latter,
covering territory east from Des Moines,
including all points within distance of
thirty miles on either side of the two roads.
The pool went into effect yesterday and
details will be arranged by the contracting
parties at Chicago to-day.
