CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.

Yesterday aftSrnOon and talked enIhu-
siastically of the present and future.
1.-TWO years ago." said he, 1--WE had a
few plows in working order in the far
West, and last winter few roads heard
of the success which the rotary pillow
met with. and we had about eleven of
them in service. This season, though,
we have more applications than we can
fill, and many railway companies who
wish to use our plow will be unable to
do so, as the notice is too brief for us to
fill their orders.
1--WE shall have about forty plows in
service in the Northwest this winter.
The Northern Pacific. 500 line, Mani
teba, Omaha, c. 81 n. W., Rock Island,
Union Pacific, Denver IL Rio Grande,
Southern Pacific, Oregon Railway &c
Navigation company, Denver, South
Park IL Pacific, Colorado Midland, c., M:
q ST. p. Duluth 81 South Shore, and
Canadian Pacific will all use our plOws.
"The Canadian Pacific gave us trial
last week, and we cleared the snow
away on the summit of the Selkirlls so
rapidly that the overland express fol-
lowed without losing any time.
s'The rotary goes right through snow
bank. and does not have to take it at
sixty miles an hour at the imminent
risk of the lives of the entire train crew.
It can be taken off and on very readily,
and is uncoupled from an engine as
easily as a car. Under the old SYSTEM,
the plow, being unWleldy ana neaVy,
caused infinite trouble III unfastenlhg
it from the engine. so that the locomo-
tive was practically useless for any
purpose but for snow. The. rotary
cleans off the snow from the rail cleanly
and evenly and Scrapes away the SNOW
two inches below the fiange. We can
take the most stubborn bank with ease
at fifteen miles an hour, and the manner
in which the general managers are Or
dering our blows shows how successful
the rotary has proven wherever tried.
Last season we were only introducing
them, but now we have remedled all
incidental faults in the mechanism OF
the pillow and will give good service to
all roads using them"

William A. Pinkerton. of Chicago,
and Robert Pinkerton, OF New YORK,
registered at the Ryan yesterday after
noon. 1--WE are simply swinging around
the circle,'' said the former, land our
visit is fraught with no significance
whatever. We make it practice to
visit all Cf our agencies atintervalS, and
shall go as fdr west as San francisco.
Criminal circles are. very quiet just at
present, the only ripple Oh the surface
being the remarkably deceptive IS silver
certificates which have been recently
placed upon the market, and which are
calculated to deceive the most expert
bank cashier in the country. Speaking
of cornterfeiting reminds me OF coun-
terfeiters, and while in New Orleans
recently | saw Pete Mccartney, the
king of them all. He had just finished
serving twelve years, sentence when
he was rearrested. The authorities
were not quite certain of their man, and
asked me to come in and take look at
him. | did so, and readily identified
him. but Pete refused to acknowledge
nav salutation, although he said after
wards that he would have done so, but
was fearful of more trouble"

1.-The excitement incidental to the
political campaign has Quoted down i'll
the East" said Robert Pinkerton, land
all of us are busy with our everyday
affairs. | think that | shall go on to
Washington to attend the Inauguration
Of Harrison, and have no doubt that the
next chief executive will be accorded a
reception commensurate to his ability
and integrity on March 4. Chancey De-
pew is a deservedly popular man, and
will possibly be the next presidential
candidate on the Republican ticket.
His popularity with his own men rs in
dicative of the estimation in which he
is held, and he would make one of the
strongest candidates whom the party
could nominate"
d. H. Dorsett, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Electrical Subway
company, was at the Ryan for few
hours yesterday. 1--WE shall complete
our stipulated amount OF work within
the given time" said he, land will be
prepared in the near future to give the
people of the Twin Cities good service,
and will put the unsightly wires under
ground and do away with all incidental
dangers"
Hon. Martin Maginnis, the well known
politician of Helena, Mont, reached the
city yesterday morning and will remain
in this vicinity for several days. 81 am
somewhat surprised" said he, ''to see
that the Democratic papers claim that
the admission of the territories desiring
statehood is already fOregOne conclu-
sion. The present congress, being Dem
ocratic, can exercise its own Judgment
in the matter, while the Fifty-first con-
gress will yield too small a Republican
majority 10 give the Republicans an OBJ
portunity to do Just as they please on
all matters Of legislation. They
will not have good work
ing majority, and as they
man knows who has had any experience
in national affairs, what with abSentees,
from sickness or incliL alton, it is impos-
sible to do aught with small majority
if the opposition shows fight | am in
favor of the admission of all the terri
tories. However, think Montana will
go Democratic if admitted. 1t went
Republican for the first time in twenty
five years this fall. Of course the other
territories are too strong for us to
expect anything for some time to come,
but while we are about it, we might as
we'll turn the entire government over to
the Republicans and see what they will
do with it.
81 would rather see the opposition have
majority of fifty in the next house,
than outnumber us by few votes. If
they have very decided majority there
will be no danger of shifting the respon-
SlbiIity, and we could easily rest on our
oars, and criticiSe their mistakes. The
tariff bill is of course one of the impor-
tant measures which will confront the
next congress. l am inclined to think
that the senate will formulate bill
similar to the one which they drew up
last winter, and pass it,"
