What il Proposed TO DO with the
Railroad Questions.

CITY OF MEXICO. Aug. IA rumor
being prevalent that the government was
likely TO make some arrangement with the
national bank, whereby the banks subsidy
might be renewed. n reporter called on Min
lister Of Finance Dublin for information. The
minister said that an agent of the bank
was here from Paris discussing the matter,
but the government before renewing sub
sidy payments must first restore the national
finances TO a sound and healthy condition.
lie said that railroad Representatives had
called upon him 10 see if arrangements
could not be made FOR the speedy renewal
of their subsidies. but he had told them il
could not be done. Then they had 10 go TO the
president. but the president was even sitter
than himself. The minister said that the
policy of the government was first to re-
store its credit abroad, and 10 that end
every endeavor would be made After
making certain payment of the debt and
interest, if there was anything left the rail-
roads would be considered; but it was not
at all probable there would be a
surplus. When asked if the rail-
roads would be paid anything this
year, the minister replied. Not a dollar.
il is not possible" The future course of the
government, he said, would depend on
what resources it possessed over and above
what was necessary 10 paw the interest on
its debts. The entire cabinet was in accord
on this matter. He intimated that the gov
eminent was considering how to arrange
with the national banks for the payment of
$4,000, 600 borrowed under previous ad-
miniStration.

A EOrger EOiled.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, Aug. 17.-About
two weeks ago man who represented HIM
self to be James w. Conklin, large dealer
i'm Canada horses, opened an account with
the Commercial bank of this city, deposit
ing several hundred dollars in currency.
TO which he added and checked
against from day to day in a regular
business way. Last Friday afternoon he
deposited TO his credit draft on the Banque
du Peuple of Montreal, on the Bank of the
Republic, New York. for So, 900. On Sat-
urday morning his clerk presented check
for 50, 500. The Commercial bank declined to
pay the check until satisfied of the genuine
ness of the draft, which had been forwarded
to New FORK for collection. On telegraphing
to New York it was learned that the Bank
OF the Republic had already dispatched the
cash on payment of it. AS COnklin made
no inquiries about how his check was dis
honored, the Commercial bank for further
security telegraphed the Montreal bank
and received answer that no such
draft had been drawn by that insti-
tuition. The money arrived from
New York and is still held by the
Commercial bank. COnklin has disappeared.
The Commercial bank has received tele-
gram requesting it to hold the $500 and
take all possible steps to arrest the alleged
forger. A man giving the name of Thomas
Edwards ON Friday afternoon last depos-
tied a draft for So, 900, drawn by the
Banque du Peuple of Montreal on the Bank
of the Republic, New York,
for collection at the German-Ameri-
can bank of Rochester. Next day he
checked against it for ST. 800. The check
was not paid, and to-day the draft was pro-
tested as a forgery. On the same day Ed
wards deposited a draft for the same
amount as the other two by the same bank
on the Bank of the Republic in the Flour
City National bank of Rochester. In
this instance a check for $1,000
was paid, and to-day the draft
was protested as a forgery in New York.
A Canadian to-day offered TO deposit a GER
titled check of an 1ngersoll, Canada. bank,
for S2,7O0 in the bank of Monroe, desiring
to check for portion of the amount The
bank declined the business. So far as can

Peoria, Ill, Aug. l5.-Joseph s. Miller
Commissioner Internal Revenue, Washington,
D. c.: I'VE learn that some of our ship
ments of spirits have been detained at Phila-
delphia. This action is an injury to ourselves
and our trade, for il ties up large amounts of
money, and will bring about great loss in con-
sequence or the declining market. We would
prefer, and respectfully ask YOU TO
send Special Agent Summerville to
our diStilery and examine barrels
by weight and measure before they
leave our premises, ard if found wrong you
have the remedy in your own hands, ana we
are willing to stand the full extent of the
law. If. however. your agents viii find them
right (which we are confident they will,) we
don't want to be disturbed in our business
and suffer losses by any further detention
We are not running now, and the goods on
hand are in the same packages as those de-
tained at Philadelphia.

In reply TO this, Commissioner Miller
telegraphed the Woolners that he would
order Summeryille TO report at their distil-
lery, and to-day that gentleman arrived and
assisted in the weighing and guaging of
eighty-six barrels of spirits. No discrep-
ancies were found, and packages agreed by

Our South American Commerce

apparent. Twenty-One lines of steamships

The War Be1u.l.

The statement published exclusively in
the SUNDAY GLOBE that the Minnesota IL
Northwestern charged the Milwaukee Sc
St Paul road with cutting freight rates
from Chicago to Austin. Minn., and threat
ened retaliation, was pretty freely discussed
in railroad circles yesterday. Local officials
of the Milwaukee road still claim to know
nothing in regard TO the matter. But that
the officials of the Minnesota S North
western believe they have good ground for
their belief that rates are being cut as
alleged is shown by the fact that yesterday
General Freight Agent Littell of that line
issued instructions 10 all AGENTS Ito receive
freight ut any price necessary to secure it, 5"
If II had TO be taken az cents or less per
hundred. 1t is understood that this applies
to freight shipped both from Chicago and
st. Paul to Austin. and to all classes, and
throws down the gauntlet for a rate war
What the result will be can only be con-
jectured. for, if continued, il will no doubt
involve other lines and lead to general
decentralization OF rates to the Northwest.
Further than the issuance of instructions
above mentioned, nothing could be learned,
Mr.. Littel waiting to see what the next
move Of his rival will be. Whether the
Milwaukee road made further cut than
the % per cent. first mentioned was not
stated. but the latitude given agents of the
Minnesota IL Northwestern would indicate
that second cut had been made by the
Milwaukee, to meet which il was deemed
eXpedient by the former road TO issue in
structiOns which should meet every contin-
CeucV.

ties. The Argentine government was will

congress would do something at once so as
to make the markets OF the United States
