without Arthun's Sanction.

CHICAGO, March 17.-Chief Arthur de-
clared that the strike on the Santa Fe
had been undertaken without his knowl-
edge OF sanction, and vehemently insisted
that in the present condition, he would
resign before he would sanction a strike
on this, or any other road. The action Of
the Santa Fe men, he said, increased the
responsibility Of the order, placed it in a
bad position, and indicated, moreover, an
apparent disposition on the part Of the
men to ignore his authority. Mr..
Arthur's chief henchmen also expressed
surprise and regret at the developments
in the southwest, while Chief Sargent, OF
the firemen, was compelled to. admit that
he had not been consulted prior to the
Santa Fe strike, and that, in his opinion,
the move was unwise. 1t was stated at
Mr Arthur's headquarters that although
q score of kilograms summoning the lead
ing members of the Santa Fe grievance
committee to Chicago, had been filed, not
q single reply had been received, and it
was not known whether the men ad-
dressed intended to respond o. not.

the present system OF operations at Buff
falo elevators especially, the hard wheat
of the northwest aud the soft grains OF
Kansas are mixed, and then exported as
Minnesota and Dakota No. ! hard. AS a
result, the grades are reduced at the
English warehouses, with a corresponding
reduction in prices, at the expenSs Of the
producers of the northwest. The new
elevator combination intends to send the
hard wheat through to the eastern, or
European markets, without adultera-
ton, and thus maintain the high
standard of the grain. 1t is claimed
that the farmers are backing the new
scheme to the extent of their ability, and
branch companies are now being formed
in Dakota. A new line of thirty-one ele-
yators will be in operation during the
present season, and large transfer ele-
vators will be built in this city and Du-
luth. With the backing and influence of
the Farmers Alliance, this novel COM
petitor for the grain trade of the north
west threatens to create a lively interest
in more than n quarter before the next

WEEKLY TRADE BULLETIN.
A PERIOD WITH WHICH STATISTICAL
COMPARISONS ARE MEANINGLESS.

The Stoppage of Communication and Traf-
fc in the East by Unprecedented Storms
Covering -Four Days Out of six-The Iron
Trade Depressed.
NEW YORK, March 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review will say: The
paralysis of business here, the stoppage
OF communication and mail throughout
the eastern states, and the costly condi-
tions under which the scant business of
the past two days has been transacted,
makes statistical comparisons for the mo-
ment of no value. 1t would not be far
from right to reckon on the entire weeks
business as loss throughout the region
most affected by the unprecedented
storm. Under the circumstances, 1t is of
no service as an indication of the future
to Know that exchanges are small,
railroad traffic light, exports be-
low those of the corresponding week
last year, and local prices rising because
OF the temporary scarcity of certain arti-
Giles. business at the various exchanges
has not been SO far resumed that quota
lions have much value. The statement
of iron furnaces, however, is of especial
significance. The weekly output of
anthracite and bituminous iron was
S7,94O tons, against 103, 901 in February,
and 130,487 tons in November. Clearly,
the furnaces which were forced to stop
by the strikes in the coal regions, have
not found 1T expedient to resume since
the strikes terminated. Other furnaces
have blown out, and the report as to
charcoal iron, though incomplete, shows
there has been some s%hrinkage in
that branch, A decrease of 151S per cent.
in one month, and q decrease of 25% per
cent. since November in the quantity of
iron product, implies q change of large

His Pacific Coast Race Knocked Out by
His wife,s Revelations.

His Wife's Revelations.
IAN FRANCISCO, March ia woman,
named Ida Baird, has made out a war
rant for Harry Bethune, who claims
to be the champion sprinkler of the world.
She tells a curious story of her relations
with the Splinter, which began in Mon
treal, where she alleges Bethune mar
ried her. He left her in Kansas City,
when he came out to this coast to arrange
for a big foot-race. He took her bag
gage with him, and hearing he was lay
ishfng her goods IN other women, she came
west. She found another woman wear
ing one of her best bonnets, and her,hus-
band making violent love to another,
whom he called the Idaho Cattle Queen.
She wanted money to return east, but
Bethune refused, so she determined to
aus his arrest.
More important than her story are the
letters from Bethune which she possesses,
and which clearly prove mis- swindles in
Montreal and other places. They give
all the details of the throwing of the race
in Montreal, by which Bethune and two
pals divided SID, 900. Bethune was com
PEELED to fly from Montreal to save his
life. This exposure of his record will end
his sporting career on this coast, He
would probably have cleaned up many
thousands or the race which was to have
come Oft next month.

WINNIPEG Man, March 17-Few par.
ticulars of the recent cases of cannibal-
ism In the Peace river district are obtain
able. They occurred in the far north
western portion CT the territories, 200 or
800 miles beyond Edmonton. The Peace
river country is inhabited by Cree In.
dams and half breeds. Most of them
are pagans, and still cling closely
to the traditions of the Cree nation.
They believe that at times evil spirits
enter the bodies of members of the tribe,
turning them into the wehtigos, who kill
and deyonr their families. 1t is usual
when any member of the tribe shows
signs of becoming n wehtigo for the mem
bers of his or hersfamily to kill the per-
son SO afflicted. Last fall II half-breed
named Comfortable, assisted by his son,
killed his wife because 1t was believed
she was turning wehtigo. The Dominion
government sent a detachment of police
ibbV pHc sdSG AfIVSl ufSti1CL hDu
arrested them, and they are noly
serving a term for manslaughter,
] n the Stony mountain penitentiary.
Their punishment caused much disaffec-
ton among the members OF the tribe,
who commended that II they had not put
the woman to death She would have
killed her children and eaten them. The
woman who is the cause of all the pres
emit cases of cannibalism, turned wehtigo
some years ago, and killed and ate one of
her children before she was suspected,
Having once tasted human blood she is
supposed by the Indians to be en-
doWed with ~superhuman powers,
and they are IN such terror Of
her that no attempts have been
made to kill her. At intervals Of four or
five mouths her craving for human blood
returns, and while in these fits, 1t is re.
ported, she assails the first person she
meets, Most of her children have fallen
victims, having been slain with an ak.
The half-brceds and Indians are in terror,
and 1t is probable that o police force will
be semitic Peace River to arrest the man
eater.

A CASE OF SELF MURDER.

Thomas Houska, n baskerville stone
Elason,iTakes his OWN Eife.
During yesterday forenoon Coroner
McGlumphy received q telegram from
baskerville asking him to come at once
TO investigate the sudden death of a man
who had been found with a bullet hole, or
bullet holes, in his head. The coroner
made haste to respond and with Sheriff
Kineei he repaired to baskerville yester.
day afternoon. He found the town
somewhat excited over the discovery of
the body OF Thomas Houska, a stone
mason. at the corner Of an old barn, in
the village. The body was stretched at
full length on It's back. and lying partly
across 1t WAS a sixteen bore shot gun.
The mans left hand held the gun near
the muzzle and the right occupied a
place very near the trigger. In the
neck, below the chm there was q ragged
and blaokened hole-and back of the
left ear another. The coroner concluded
that the dead man had taken his own
life. The charge from the gun severed
the wind pipe and several arteries and
passing through the base OF the brain
produced instant death.
The causes assigned for the suicide are
that Houska, having an insatiate thirst
for whisky, had become Disguised with
himself and ended his misery. He had
recently worked long enough to earn
$75. ali of which had gone for drink, and
upon the strength OF having spent his
substance he ran his face for more liquor.
In q small book found upon his person
was written in Bohemian, a sentence
which translated read, II must throw
off this old body" and having made this
resolve he proceeded to destroy himself.
He is ssid to have been an eplleptio sub.
lecs and it is presumed that his mind
might have been affected by the disease.
Houska was about 25 years OF age, un-
married, bnt possessing qualities which
made for him many friends. The funer-
! al occurred at baskerville to-day.
The coroner held no inquest, the cauee
OF death being 30 apparent.
