AN Old TRICK.
1t Was Practiced Years Ago when
Connection Was Less Lively.

Com petition was Less Lively.
The little scheme alleged to have been
played by the Burlington road in securing the
twenty students from Faribault was the sub
ject of general conversation in railroad cir
ces yesterday, and the officials of those lines
which do not touch that point were inclined
to praise the Burlington officials FOR the little
trick. but the Milwaukee and Minneapolis
St. Louis roads would not take pleasant
view of the affair. General Passenger Agent
Kenyon, of the Burlington road. said that he
had investigated the matter and found that
no representative of his road had taken tickets
to Faribault and secured the students, nor
had any passes been issued to three young
ladies' He stated, not necessarily for publl-
cation but as guarantee OF good faith. that
the son of an attorney Ii e at Faribault
and he could get pass Whenever he wanted
it, and he had probably talked up the Bur-
lington route and the students had naturally
enough taken it, especially as the points to
which they went were local points on that
line. This instance recalls one almost similar
that occurred years ago, when competition
was not as sharp between Northwestern rail-
roads us it is now. At that time w. H. Dixon
was connected with the old Sioux City road,
which was fighting the Milwaukee line, as
passenger and ticket agent, and one day get
ting pointer that there was party of peo-
pie in Prescott Wis.,, that wanted to go to
California, he put batch OF tickets in his
grip and, boarding the train, went down to
Hastings. 1t was winter and the river was
frozen. Dixon walked across to Prescott with
his tickets and captured the entire party.
The Milwaukee road drew them to st. Paul,
and the Sioux City line handled them from
there on. When the Burlington road gave
the complimentary trip to railroad men and
members of the press last fall, Dixon was
telling this story to the boys. and Kenyon
listened toIit. If the trick was played with the
students, as rumor SAYS it was, perhaps the
pointer came with the story that Dixon told.

Indignant tgilwaukee Brewers.

MILWAUKEE. Dec. 30.-The members of the
Milwaukee Brewers association deny that
any financial or other aid has been sent by
any of them to aid in the defense of Arens-
dorf, charged with the Haddock murder. In
a card, the Best Brewing company says:
"Our influence and sympathy are on the
side of law and order under all circumstances,
and no one can deplore more than the officials
of this company do any attempt in any sec
ton of the country to create or influence
public sentiment by resort to violence or
crime. We have no sympathy whatever with
the wicked and blind policy of those who seek
to oppose the enforcement Of temperance or
any other laws by terrorism or violence. We
speak for ourselves only, but are fully salts
fed that the suspicion alluded TO is equally
false as regards any other Milwaukee
brewers"

SOCIALIST FOX REVENUE.
An Imported AgitatOr "Does Ups
His American Brethren.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-The socialists will
never more import a professional agitator
from the effete monarchies of Europe The
recent experiment with DR.. Edward Aveling
and Mrs. Eleanor Marx Aveling had most
disastrous effect upon the exchequer of the
national executive board. Strenuous efforts
are made among the more prudent members
of the tribe TO avoid publicity of the scandal,
as they claim it would hurt the "cause."
UNPAID labor is the greatest curse
of modern eivilization-that' the whole
problem in nutshell" proclaimed
DR.. Aveling, the axiom of his system of polit-
ical economy on all the platforms through his
lecturng tour. As the result Of this idea the
executive committee was compelled TO honor
his drafts, amounting to S1.3O0 for thirteen
weeks work, without demurring, though the
price was considered rather stiff for social
Ist who professed to nave only the welfare of
the poor and disinherited at heart. But the
patience of the board, with Herr Herman
Walter as spokesman. broke down when the
couple returned last week to the city from
their Western tour and presented supple
mentary bill of 5000. do you con-
slider these items legitimate expen-
ses?" gueried Herr Walter in a
rage, as he pointed to charge of SIS for cor
sage bouquets required to enhance the beauty
of Mrs. Aveling. Other Objectionable items
were overhauled in the same fashion. The
extraordinary bill had a round sum of $50 for
cigars TO the doctor, and cigarettes to his
emancipated lady. Their official cOrrespon-
dence during period of three months had
involved al expense of $40 for postage
stamps. Theater tickets were summarized
at 500, though it is notorious fact that the
great disciple of Karl Marx showed himself
an expert a dead-heading il at all the thea
tiers, on the plea of being a dramatic critic for
the Saturday Review and other English pub
LEGATIONS. At Baltimore his wine bill was SAG
for two days. Aveling finally compromised
for 500.

case pending in this court as to any parties

linquishment of any jurisdiction which is now
vested in this court. The burden of the court
obligations, including receivers certificates,
will be apportioned to the many different
branches and the master will report the earn
ings and expenses of all lines and branches
separately and the time of their operation by
the receivers. Such report to be carried up

Eighth-Ahd this refers to the require
mehts of the court in respect to the purchas-
ing committee We are not satisfied with the
suggestions they have made to us in their
petition or order presented. 1t appears from
the statement that has been furnished to us
that there are now due, or will become due
by the close of February, about $150.000 OF
receivers certificates. Therefore, the pur-
chasing com mittee should be directed to pay
within sixty days into the registry of the

Gates, and to give bond in the sum of $1,000

subject to the rights of the court to retake
possession on Noncompliance with further
orders, and also subject TO all the terms and

THE COAL MEN.
An Attempt to Secure the Adoption
of General scale Of Wages.


PITTsBURG. Dec. 3O.--Another effort is
to be made to have the coal operators and
miners of the United States adopt general
scale of wages and prices. In an interview
to-day, W. p. Rend, the Chicago operator.
said:
We intend to hold convention at Columbus
next February TO discuss the question. 1t
promises to be a great success. We expect
the Pittsburg operators to be fully repre-
scented. and have every confidence that the
miners will do their duty. The principle on
which we build our hopes for better indus
trial future has been practically tried during
the last twelve months. We adopted it about
year ago at Columbus. We
then formulated a scale of relative
prices ard wages fixed on just basis. Wher-
ever that principle has had fair play there
has been no strike. Of course the Pittsburg
operators would have hone of it, and they
have reaped no advantage as result. / am
sorry that it was not adopted here, and / fail
to see why it was not
Speaking Of the report to the effect that
the coal operators of the United States in
tend to organize combination, he said
The report is not only false. but absurd. 1t
cannot be dole. The interests of the Eastern
and Western operators are too diverse and
the business too immense. 1t can be done in
the anthracite coal trade because it is not
extensive

An Opinion Refused.

SPECIAL TO the OiObe
WASHINGTON. Dec. 80. Acting Secretary
Hawkins has written letter to 7. Greene,
of Mandan, Oak, which is of some interest to
q good many Western settlers. Greene wrote
asking Judge Hawkins opinion in regard to
the matter of settlers on government land
abandoning their claims temporarily for wip-
ter in order to earn a livelihood. He added as
a reason for making this request, that owing
to the almost complete failure of the crops in
his sect on the past season large proportion
of the people will be unable to maintain
themselves and families through the winter.
Judge Hawkins says: 1T would be I'M
proper for this department to express any
opinion or make any suggestions in regard to
the question concerning which you wrote,
other than is required in cases coming before
it from the general land office. as it could
have but limited knowledge at best Of the cir
cumstances surrounding cases to be affected.
The same law which governs the department
in its supervision of all matters pertaining
to public lands controls settlers upon such
lands, determines their rights, liabilities and
privileges and must be the rule to guide
them in all their actions in connection there
with. The fact that the secretary of the in
terror in cases coming before him on appeal
is the final judge in the department of the
facts and good faith of settlers seeking to ae-
quire title TO public lands under the laws of
congress. affords another reason why he
should not give an opinion such as you de-
sire. In the regular course OF business of
the department the case of man who would
be Influenced or controlled by such opinion
might come before him for decision and final
determination. All l can DO in answer to
your letter is to refer you to the decisions of
the &c partmert rendered and published from
time TO time, in which the principle involved
in the request you make may be directly or
indirectly passed upon.
