Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, May 4.-Some one started
the story yesterday afternoon that
Mayor Sutphin had determined upon
resigning his position, and that, too, at
an early date. Little credence was
given the report at the time. nor IS it
yet in any degree assured, but it is a
well known fact that the mayors large
by reason of the almost undivided at
tention he has been compelled to give
his Office, while the worry and vexa-
ton have severely strained even his
robust constitution. These facts will
not be without their determin-
ing influence. though when
called upon by the GLOBE cor
respondent this morning, the mayor
could only say that whatever his future
action in this regard might be, he could
not as yet furnish anything for publ
cation. He has most ably filled the ex
ecutiye chair during the severest test of
Duluth's development, and if he should
conclude to relinquish the reinS of gov
eminent he could do so with the full
consciousness of having safely guided
her to the high seas OF commercial,
moral and social importance.
BETTER TRAIN SERVICE.
1t is finally definitely assured that
Duluth will have increased and better
train service with the Twin Cities. The
Eastern Minnesota has so far completed
its plans that the announcement can be
authoritatively made that within the
next thirty days Duluth will have six
daily trains to and from st. Paul and
Minneapolis. The arrangement of the
schedule is yet to be made, but it is said
in railroad circles here that the Eastern
folks will compete for passenger traffic
by running all early limited train, as
Paul & Duluth. The new arrangement
will be hailed with satisfaction by all
having occasion to visit this section of
the state, as it will have the effect also
of forcing other lines to shorten their
running time.
THE STRIKERS.
There was little excitement at the
Pioneer dock early this morning. when
the eighteen or twenty men at work
were visited by about 15U strikers and
their friends and persuaded to quit
work. A West Superior contingent
was expected to arrive to aid the Strik-
ers, but failed to materlaliZe. There
was no disturbance. though there was
considerable loud talk. The company
had all the men it wanted. and was in
different about keeping even this small
force at work, except as matter of ac-
commodation to the three or four vessels
anxious to unload and get away. A
squad of police was on hand, but its
services were not needed.
THINKS HE HAS GOLD.
Adolph Carlson, of Grand Marais, has
discovered a piece of quartz rich in
gold short distance behind that town.
He has been in Duluth, and has re-
turned to his property with the ex-
plorer, z. D. Goodell. He and the
others who are interested with him are
firm in the belief that they have
bonanza. The specimen was seen by
several Duluthians and pronounced a
rare one.
OF SMALLER MOMENT.

Grafton before Duluth's G. A. r. post on
