A Strange Story.

CHICAGO, H., April 12-Michael
Sullivan left his home in Ore Hill, Con-
nectieut about four years ago to seek his
fortune In California. He left behind
wife and one child, girl 10 years Of age.
Sullivan made money rapidly in the
Golden State and sent frequent remit
tances to his family. About two years af-
ter leaving home he sent his wife $500 and
told her to come to him, and she went to
California In company with male relative
by the name Of Kelly.
When she arrived in San Francisco no
husband was at the station to welcome her
She went to the address given her by Sulli-
van and learned that he had suddenly left
two weeks before and nothing had been
heard from him since. Mrs. Sullivan, as
sisted by Kelly, instituted a thorough
search for the missing husband and adver-
tised literally, but no tidings Of the lost
one came. Finally, after months of vain
search, Mrs. Sullivan determined to return
home.
She purchased ticket to Chicago, and
on the train between this city and Omaha
was robbed of all her money save a small
amount in change. On her arrival here she
secured shelter after many priyations, and
since then has worked very bard 10 main
tain herself and child. Nothing has baen
heard Of ner husband until yesterday morn
ing, when she received call from detec
tive, who questioned her closely. He left the
house, but shortly afterwaId returned with
a swarthy-bearded man, and the husband,
wife and child were again reunited.
1t appears that Immediately after writing
his wife to join him, Sullivan determined
to make trip to Arizona to inspect some
mining properly in which he was inter-
ested, Intending to return to San Francisco
in time to meet his wife. At Ahandlas he
met with serious accident and few days
afteIward brain-fever set in, AMI he was
confined to his bed for over three months,
but when he became convalescent he found
that his mine had developed wealth and
that lie was o rich man.
As room as he was able he returned to
San Francisco. only to find tha, his wife
had been there, but had not been seen Tor
several weeks, and from that day until yes
terday constant search has been kept up
for the missing ones. Mr.. and Mrs SulIi-
van, accompanied by their daughter, de-
parted at once for their old home in the

Low Frei2bts for Colorado.

GALVESTON, April 9.-The failure to
induce the Fort Worth, Denver, Texas &
Gulf to form part and parcel OF the Colo
rade association means practically a big
Tate war on Color ado and Utah business,
demonstrating the very important position
occupied by the new route just opened from
Denver to the Gulf General Dodge, who
constructed The new Colorado division Of
The Denver Texas and Gulf, said in his
sIeech at the driving Of the last spike that
1t was the most important railroad connec-
ton In the United States since the compile
ton OF the Union Pacific and his prediction
Is being verified IN the revolution OF rates
west Of The Missouri river, which is the
Panhandle route. General Manager Meek,
OK the came road, when his line was opened
from the gulf to Denver. announced a
freight tari1 between New York and other
seaot ard points TO Colorado points via the
Morgan steamship line and the Texas Cen
trhl railway line from Galveston, which
averaged about a IS per cent reduction on
all classes o. freight as compared with over
land rates 10 Colorado and Utah. This re-
durIion on frst-clsss freight WAS just q
per cent.
What worried the Colorado Pool Asso-
hence their effort at the present meeting to
induce the Denver, Texas & Calf road to
conform TO pool rates by raising its own to
the pool sch edule. This effort has proved
n signal failure.

ground as aIgutd by him, that overland
rates are too high, and they discriminate

The Mills Bill-Free Trade.

It is evident from the events of the
past few weeks that the progress to-
wards free trade in the United States
has been much greater than was gen
orally expected. However much the
manufacturing interests may deny it,
the fact is patent that great progress
has been made on the road towards
absolute free trade, and particularly
has this been the case since the date
of the delivery Of the Presidents mes
sage. Our iron and steel manufac-
turers look with very much interest
on the movement which is now going
on con the other side, for trade
there so ultimately influences our
own.-London Iron and Coal Trades
Revieac, July 81, 1888.
The president feels compelled to
characterize the attempt to brand him
as free trader as deception, but for
all that the electoral conflict now in
progress is conflict between free
trade and protection and nothing else.
London Neavs, July 6, 1888.
The Mills bill puts on the free list
articles which last year paid duties
amounting to nearly 100000. 1t
is therefore plain that it declares for :
Free trade in lumber, which we
produce to the value of $500, 100000
annually.
Free trade in wool, of which we
produce over 800, 100000 pounds an.
nually.
Free trade in salt, of which we pro-
duce nearly 4O,OO0,O00 bushels annu
ally.
Free trade in hemp, flax. jute ant
other fibres.
Free trade in potash, lime ant
brick.
Free trade in meats, game ant
poultry.
Free trade in vegetables, peas ant
beans.
: Free trade in marble and stone.
Free trade in at least hundre
other articles produced in this coun
try, most of which would be produc
ed in sufficient quantities for HON
consumption if properly protected
