AN important engineering enter
prise now in progress is railroad In
the Arctic circle. The Swedish and
Norwegian railroad now building
from Lulea, on the Gulf of Bothnia,
to Luffoden, in the North sea, IS par
TALLY situated within the Arctic cir
Gle, and is some 1000 miles further
north than any railroad in Canada
An interesting meteorological fact
stated in relation to this work is that
the snowfall is found to be actually
less than in some more southern latl
tudes. while the darkness of the long
winter nights has been partly com
pensated by the light of the aurora
The object in view in constructing
this line is to tap the enormous de
posits of iron ore in the Gellivarf
mountains, the approximate exhaus'
tion of the ore in the Bilbao district
rendering very desirable a new field
of non-phosphoric ore suitable fol
steel rail making.

IT would be a fine thing says, the
Oregonian, the owners and lessees OF
the O. r. & N. could see their way to
adoption of policy that would satisfy
all reasonable demands as to delivery
of the products of the country at the
seaboard. Ultimately the o. r. & N.
will find it necessary to deliver these
products at Astoria at as low rates as
other railroads on the Puget sound
and we think the o. r. & n. could
not serve itself SO well in any othel
way as by starting in to do this right
now. In order to hold the busines:
it will be forced to do this at last, and
the better way would be to adopt
policy that would prevent loss OF busi
ness, rather than pursue a course tina
will compel struggle to win bacl
business that has been lost.

The question of the reduction of
rates of letter postage is just at pres
ent attracting attention in Canada.
The subject is being referred to in the
Canadian press, and the postoffice de-
partment of the dominion is collect
ing information bearing upon it. The
reduction suggested is from three to
two cents. The proposition would
seem to be a good one for several rea-
sons. A reduction to the extent pro-
posed would, it is reasonable to pre-
sumo, result almost Immediately in a
considerably extended use of the pos
tai service by the people, and the ef.
fects of this extended use would make
themselves felt in the commerce and
industry of the dominion. At the
same time the change would bring
the dominion in line with the United
States, which has adopted two-cent
letter rate, and would do away with
the anomalous condition of things un-
der which Canadians corresponding
with residents of the United States
have to pay 80 per cent. more postage
on the letters sent by them than is
paid on the letters which they receive
From what can be learned the prin-
cipal objection to the reduction is on
the score of its effect upon the reve
nue., the fear being entertained that ii
will occasion loss. Such a loss, il
one should occur, would probably be
only temporary, the experience of the
past going to show that considerable
reductions in postal rates are followed
by increases in the postal revenues
arising from an extended employment
of the system, sufficient generally t.
make up or more than make up IL
no long space of time for the reduc
ton in rates. 1t is worthy of motto,
as bearing on the effects OF such re
duction as that proposed in Canada
that the postmaster general of th
United States declared in his last an
nual report, after an experience o
four years under the reduced rate
that the postal service was substanti
ally self-sustaining, and if no furthe
change were made in the revenues
surplus might be expected for th
NEXT fiscal wear.

THE STREET CAR STRIKE.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-The strike of
the street car men in the north and
west divisions, continues with no
indications of speedy settlement.
During the night some of the tracks
in the sympathetic districts of the
north division were obstructed by
being filled with all sorts of house
hold refuse and such other moveable
things as came to hand. A few cars
were run out in this division, to the
usual accompaniment of ieers. No
attempt has been made as yet to run
cars in the west division. The ap-
pearances indicate that the company
will not make any general effort for
the resumption of traffic until matters
are quieted down somewhat. The
strikers in this division who have
been through two or three successful
strikes, exhibit an uglier disposition
than those of the north side. They
declare that cars will not be permit
ted to run, and, that if an attempt is
made, they will be tumbled into
the ditch. Tracks on center
streets in the north division
presented a peculiar sight this morn
ing. For mile or more they were
covered with paving stones and every
other kind of debris obtainable
This was done during the night. Thi.
morning men and boys were again al
work on Center street, near Orchard
under the very noses of the police
and curbing stones were piled on the
tracks. The officers merely laughed
at;the work of barricading. At Hal
stead and Center street four rails
were torn up and laid crosswise oil
the track.
The same thing was done at Cen
ter and Sedgwick streets. The com
pany put force of fifty laborers OF
the street and cleared away the de
bris and relaid the track. Cars wert
run out and made the trip down
town without interference but on tht
return trip the Center street line was
found so obstructed that it was de
cided to go up Clay ybourn ayenue. Ii
anticipation of a renewal of tht
trouble a large force OF new mel
were sworn in this morning as spe
cial officers. The first trouble of the
day on the west side occurred TIM
afternoon, when a man named Cub
bins, who drove one of the cars yes
terday, drove out OF the Western
avenue barns. The strikers stopped
him, but a shot from his reyolve
scattered them. Three times he wa
stopped and only succeeded in get
ting by in indulging in timel.
fnsiIade. Nobody hurt.

DACEY KNOCKED OUT.
| DOVER, n. J., Oct. 10.-The light
weight championship battle between
Jack McAuliffe and Billy Dacey, for
the Police Gazette diamond belt,
took place this morning in barn,
after eleven fierce and desperate
rounds, lasting AZ minutes and AZ
| seconds, McAuliffe knocked his man
out by terrific left-handed blow on
the stomach, ending the battle. Da.
cey was completely overmatched
Z, from the start, but made fair show
ing. McAuliffe gained first blood il
the second round by one of his left
handed blows on Dacey's- nose. He
did most of the leading and his re
peated rushes were too much for
Dacey to stop. He repeatedly sent
{ his left at Dacey's face with terrific
force, the latter ducking in vain at
tempts to get away. McAul,f1e wonlt
: then upper cut him numerically
3 Dacey landed some savage right
handed wingers on McAuliffe's jaw
and in the sixth round the crimson
' was trickling from McAullffe's nos'
3 from visitation of Daceys left.
: Not more than fifty of the most Sc
a lect sporting men witnessed the con
test.

lect His wages with Clubs
 PLAINFIELD, N. J., Feb. 1S.-Adolph Miller, after a few days in the Moffet Silver and Brass Rolling mill here, found that the work did not suit him and decided to leave. When he went to the office to collect his money il was refused him on the ground that he had failed to notify them of his departure. He left the mill in an angry mood and muttered something about ''telling his wife,"
 Mrs. Miller went into the woods behind her house the next morning and cut hickory club. She then started for the mill with her husband. MT. James Moffet was at his desk when the couple entered. Miller asked for hi: money, and was again refused, when the woman drew the club from under her shawl and struck MT. Moffet several blows over the head and body with it. His cries for help brought several mill hands to his assistance who, after fierce struggle, succeeded in get ting Mrs Miller out of the building.
 They locked the door, but she smashed it off its hinges with big stone and made an other dash at Mir. Moffett A policeman had been summoned from the village. He came to find her struggling in the hands of several men and making desperate efforts to get at MT. Moffett. The glass in the windows was broken and the office wrecked. Ar raigned before Justice Hill, the woman pleaded guilty and was bailed for examina-

After the meal had been eaten William Wirt, the old man's son, started for a neighbor's house, leaving his wife and the two children in the house. He had scarcely passed out of sight when the old man armed himself with corn knife. Entering the kitchen where Mrs. Wirt was washing dishes he crept up to the woman and, selzing her by the hair, attempted to cut her throat.
 She screamed and struggled so violently that, after being slightly wounded, she es- capped, and went to the house where her hus- band was at work and gave the alarm. Sev- eral armed men, under the command of young Wirt, started to rescue the children, but before they could reach the house flames were seen bursting from every winuow. Fac ing the rescuers Was old man Writ He laughed, and pointed to the fire When young Wirt had gone into the burning building, in search of his children, his father drew the blade of the knife acrOoS his throat and fell dead. Repeated efforts were made to rescue the children, but the smoke and flames drove the searchers back Young Wirt has been driven crazy by the tragedy, and his wife, who is at neighbours house, is lying at the point Of death

Another Trust Announced.

BOSTON, Feb. 1S.-The Boston Commercial Bulletin today says that a close combination of the twenty-five nail manufacturers en- ploying 1900 machines, ill New England New York, New Jersey, eastern Pennsyl- vania, Maryland and Virginia, has been formed. At private meeting, held in New York on Thul'sia lay, thirteen of the manu facturels signed agreement to cut down production about 40 per cent, and the re- maining twelve are expected to sign to-day. Each concern will pay into the pool 55,OO0, to be forfeited in case it exceeds its restricted production. Prices have already been slightly advanced. It is claimed that the trade has suffered from overproduction for some years. The members of the pool expect the western manufacturers t. follow their example.

 Runaway Wife.

Runaway Wife.
 RUTHERFORD, N. J., Feb. 1S-This little town was scandalized last August by the dis appearance of the wife of J. H. Baldwin, a brush manufacturer of New York She was traced to New York. and circumstantial evi- dence seemed to prove that she had run of been connected for some time. Mir Baldwin was left alone with his three children, the eldest being [. He endeavored to persuade his wife to return to him, end failing in this he paid her board in her New York home and all her dressmaking bills, being resolved that she should not have to go astray to obtain living. Mrs Baldwin studied telegraphy in New York, as she was anxious to earn her own living, and at the private boarding house where she lived she was known as Miss Ella Baldwin, no one there supposing she was married. She was taken ill with brain fever last Saturday, and died on Monday. Her husband, on learning of her death, made arrangements for burial. Her body was taken to her former home at Rutherford, where a quiet funeral service was held last Wednesday by the Rev. Mir. Ostrander, of Passaic. The interment was in Orange cemetery.
 Harry Force, who is said to have been the cause of the breaking up of the home, was sent out to Chicago last autumn to get him away from Mrs Baldwin. He returned about month ago, and the first thing he did, ac- cording to the police, was to steal a clarinet belonging to one of the town band He has been held for the grand jury in Hackensack.

MT. Pratt Fined $15O.

ARLINGTON, N. J., Feb. 1s.-An explosion occurred last summer in the works of the Arlington Celluloid Manufacturing company. They were demolished, and several workmen were killed and several others were seriously injured. The Hudson county grand jury found an indictment for criminal tarelessness against J. R. Pratt, the president of the com pany. Yesterday MT. Pratt was in the Jersey City court of sessions, and through his coun. sel, ex-Governor Joseph D. Bedle, he pleaded non vult to the indictment. He said the com. pany had suffered great loss by the explosion. and asked the court to he lenient with him. Judge Lippencott imposed a fine of S15O. which Mir. Pratt paid.
