NO AGREEMENT REACHED,
And Wheat for the Mills Stili Goes
Through the Elevators.

Through the Elevators.
The railroads. grain commission men and
chamber of commerce committee had a
heated session in conference yesterday,
behind closed doors, but without result.
The wheat receivers made complaint to the
chamber against the railroad custom OF
sending through elevators wheat sold to the
mills direct and imposing an expense,
needlessly, of the elevator charges OF II
cents buShel. The chamber appointed
conference committee of three, OF whom
two were elevator men, to meet the rail-
road officials and see what could be done.
The mill-OwnerS sent a committee to state
their case. and behind the closed doors
warm session was held, but without reach
ing an agreement. The railroad men said
the great rush of the wheat crop had begun
and it was absolutely necessary to have cars
quickly unloaded by the elevator process to
prevent general blockade, while the mill
owners objected to the payment OF eleya-
tor tolls that were absolutely unnecessary.
A year ago the Manitoba road had an
agreement by which association millers re-
ceived wheat direct to the mills. The non
association millers complained to the COM
mission of the evident discrimination, and
the result was to have all wheat go through
the elevators, much to the benefit OF the
latter. In all purchases Of grain from ter
ritory in which Minneapolis and Duluth
compete the millers lose the amount they
are compelled to pay the elevators, as the
growers will send to Duluth rather than to
lose it. But in territory tributary to Min
neapolis only, the mills deduct the cost
from the purchase price, so the horny
handed granger is the loser.

A SODA MOTOR TEST.
The New Principle Successfully APP
piled TO a Submarine Monitor.

The caustic soda motive power. soon to
20 into use on the motor line at Minneap-
lis, is attracting general attention all over
the country and is producing profound
sensation. 1t is to be used in some new
government torpedo boats and tie expert
ments to that end are attracting the curious
public gaze. One of the submarine mont
tors, the Peacemaker was given trial trip
at New York the other day, on the Hudson
river, near Riverside park. It was cast off
from its moorings like a lot of old iron,
which had some mysterious floating pow
ers. It drifted rapidly up the river for a
few hundred yards and then suddenly dis
appeared beneath the waves. The specta-
tors quickly lost all traces of the Peace
makers whereabouts, and looked all over
She river expecting to see the vessel bob up
in almost any quarter. 1t was fully thirty
minutes before there was any sign of the
little terror. 1t then showed up like life
less horse floating in the water mile away
Then the queer-looking object battled
against the tide and came down the river
TO the dock. The trap-door was opened
md the three men stepped out and aired
themselves. They had demonstrated the
vessel can do the work which it is calculated
10 perform. 1t can move about

A y""ng fellow giving his name as Carter

was made against him. 1t seems that the
young man had gone into a
clothing store and purchased a
So hat, offering in payment check for SO,
purporting to be signed by G. w. Foster.
He got his change, went out, entered a
saloon near by and passed check for a
similar amount. The saloonkeeper became
suspicious and called the officer. The
young man begged to be released, saying he
would return all the money he had secured.
At the station he refused to tell anything

A suit Againstthe auditor.

a few days ago Mr.. Thomas w. Wilson
through his attorney, c. G. Van Vert, APP
piled to the county auditor for statement
to redeem taxes of 1875. He was refused,
the auditor being i'll doubt whether those
taxes were yet redeemable and whether he
had the right to make such statement, as
the decision of the supreme court touching
the redemption of taxes refers back to 1886.
A suit was brought by Wilson in the
district court yesterday, praying for writ of
mandamus requiring the auditor to make
this statement. The suit is brought simply
to get a judicial opinion in doubtful

Thursday evening from Friendship, where
he went for the purpose oflooking for some
of the freight lost by his company in the
wreck of the Cambridge. Mr. Weeks found
the eompany's trunk containing twenty-six
small packages in the possession of Capt.
VIM. Condor of the schooner Electric Light
of Friendship. He was unable to make any
fair trade with Capt. Condor as regards sal
wage, and therefore left the trunk to be re-
covered by the regular process of law. Mr.,
Weeks was unable to find any other articles
belonging to the company. Their safe is, of
course, at the bottom of the sea, but all the
yaluables were taken from it on the night of
the disaster. The saloon piano of the Cam

I. L. Elder for plaintiff
W. X. Neal for defendant
John L. Winship VS.. the Portland League Base
Ball and Athletic Association. This is an action
to recover damages for an alleged breach of con-
tract. The writ alleges that on the Goth of Jan
uary, 1885, the defendants entered into written
contract with the plaintiff in which the plaintiff
agreed to manage base ball commencing on the
fifteenth day of April, 1885, and ending on the
fifteenth of October, 1885, for which the defend
ants agreed to pay him the sum of $3.50. That
the plaintiff entered into the service OF the de-
PENDANT corporation as a manager OF their base
ball club, and managed it in successful and lal-
dable manner, but the defendant corporation in
violation of their contract, without any just cause,
discharged the plaintiff from their employ in an
unreasonable and wanton manner on the 30th day
of July, 1885; that the plaintiff not only de-
prived of the salary which would have accrued
from his services, but was prevented from being
otherwise employed because the season was TOO
far advanced for him to pursue his usual and ac-
customed occupation and fer this he claims dam
ages in the sum OF $1,000. The defendants claim
that under the contract they had right to dis
thepaintiff was not managing the club in manner
satisfactory to them and that they the defend
ants by the terms of the contract are the sole
judges to the suficiency of the reasons for dis
charge
The case was assigned for trial Saturday after
noon, but by the agreement of counsel it is to be
reported to the law court for construction of the
contract and the damages are to be assessed by
Judge Bonney unless they shall be agreed upon
by the parties.
