ARTHUR's VIEWS.
The Strike Outlook from the Engineers

The Strike Outlook from the Engineers
Side.
CHICAGO, March 22.-What purported
to be an interview with Chief Arthur ap
peared in morning paper to-day, in which
Mr.. Arthur is reported as stating positive.
ly that there would te no strike on the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul or the
Northwestern roads; that the strike was
practically dead, and that he was now only
waiting till the men got tired of hoping
against hope, and he was preparing TO start
for home.
Part of that article" said Mr.. Ar,
thur, sis true and part Of it Is
false. 1t is incorrect to say that
the strikers are dead cocks in the
pit, or that there is no use in their holding
out any longer. hold different views.
It is also untrue to state that Hoge played
us a mean, contemplate trick. There has
been no trick played. II Q fact that we
have no strike on any Of the other roads.
1t was always our policy 10 keep the strike
from spreading, but that policy has been
maintained without any fight between con-
servative and radical elements. As stated,
l am not going to say anything now as TO
how our prospects look. Time alone will
decide how we will come out"
An evening paper Bays: 1t is quite
probable that by tomorrow the %"
strike will have taken new phase. Just
what the departure will be it is at present
impossible to state authoIitatiyely. The
indications, however, point to the consum-
nation of the combination of the Brother
hoods and the %" switchmen and brake
men. Both sides admit the potency Of
such move, and the brakemen, though
reluctant to break through their custom
of years standing. are becomiugawa that
in the union lies the only probability OF a
victory.

LUMBER FRAUDS.

How Canadian shippers EVade the Tariff
Duty.
AUGUSTA, Me, March 22.-GigantiC
frauds perpstrated upon the Government
by certain lumbermen doing business
along the New Brunswick border, by
evsding the duty on manufactured pro-
duce shipped into the United States, have
become known to lumbermen of the Ken
nebec Valley and of the State, and at the
recent meeting of the Kennebec Log Driv-
ing Company, energetic measures to pre-
vent any further frauds were determined
upon.
A prominent lumberman says: "This
fraud upon the Government is perpetrated
under the law of the United States which
gives an operator the privilege of cutting
logs in Maine forests, driving them into
New Brunswick waters, saving them in
New Brunswick mills, and reshipping
them into the State free of duty. The
lumbermen will cut small portion, say
a tenth Of their logs, in Maine and a large
bulk in New Brunswick forests, then
manufacture them in provincial mills and
ship the whole through to the States free
of duty

FLOODS AND STORMS.

BREAKING UP.
The Great Flood Not Abadng-Tbs LOwlands Gov
cred and Insstmabls Damage Done
Floods IN New England
Notes Of the Storm.

CHICAGO, March pa special from
Poplar river, Mont says: The great food
on the Upper Missouri does not abate. The
water is the highest seen for many years,
and the water is still rising rapidly. The
ice has broken at Galpin and is running
fast There is big gorge at Culbanks,
about ten miles above here, and another
at Frenchman's Point, seven miles below.
There is six feet of water on the railroad
track at Wolf Point, and the bridges are
all washed out. All trains are delayed.
The Milk river is also commencing tC
break up, and the country is flooded fol
forty miles around. Hundreds of cords oi
wood, cut for river steamers, have floated
away. The cattlemen and Indians will
lose large quantities OF hay. The red meu
have all left the bottom and are camped
on the hills and high grounds. Then
farms are under four feet of water and
their fences swept away. There is some
loss of stock, and if the river gorges at Ihi'
place the loss will be immense.
ALARM ALONG THE MISSOURI.
A special from Bismarck, DLkots, Gays:
The reported floods in the Upper Missouri
Valley have given the alarm to the people
along the stream and preparations 10 move
out Of the low lands are being made by
the settlers At present this section is
having cold wave, which has frozen the
ice solidly to the banks. This fact does
not increase the prospect for a flood, as
the river is low and the ice az solid as
iron. The breakup Of the Yellowstone,
which has already occurred, and the flood
of water from the mountains have already
formed gorges in the upper country, while
for nearly one thousand miles below the
ice is firm and has not been moved.

NEW YORK, March pa press repre-

ment respecting his claim for compensation

ceeded, but laughing where sharp charge
was made against himself.
At the close of the reading, in response
to the query, What do you desire to say
in reply to this statement, ColonelE" he
said:

As a whole il is untrue. do not care for
the attacks Badeau NAV make on me, they
hurt no one, but we are all defending my
father from the insinuations and ref1ec-
tions of this man. We have the truth on
our side aud victory will rest with us
whether the matter is ended in the courts
or in the newspapers.

"will you let me look at it, that may
have positive assurance that your father
composed it?"
Colonel Grant retired, and after lapse
Of several minutes returned with q docu-
ment several pages in length. The sheets
were of yellow paper, evidently portion
of pad, each one having seemingly been
torn of as they we're filled with writing.
The chirogrsphy, all in pencil, shows some
little firmness at first, and then gradually
gives evidence of weakness, in the tremu-
lousness of the lines, until in the postscript
il almost becomes an irregular and painful
scrawl without any attention to the lines
across the page. There could be no doubt
of the authenticity Of the document, which
starts off as follows:
GNEERAL: Since pOndering over the
contents of your letter, and more particu-
larly over the conclusions have drawn
from il, and reflections based upon what
you say, and my knowledge of your tenn
per and disposition, understand the let
ter better than you do. have concluded
that you and mnst give up all associa.

work goes which is to bear my signature"
and so on al! through that scathing reply
TO Badeau's assumptions
Here and there were few interlinea-
tions-very few-and one OF two erasures
Of word or syllable, but generally it was
clear, as If the writer knew what he was
gciDg to say and just how he was going to
say it,
When the sheets were handed back TO
Colonel Grant he said: THAT ia the letter
Badeau gives me the credit Of writing, and
after he says ] was too big fool to writs
word for my fathers book. / wish l
could write such letter. You can now
say truly that General Grant did not die
tate line, or even word. He handed it
to me to copy, signed the copy and the
copy WAS forwarded to General Badsau?"
