Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, June 15.-President Minot,
of the Eastern Minnesota, gave his
road an impetus in the excursion to-
day which places it on an assured busi-
ness at his disposal. Leaving st. Paul
this morning the run was one of con-
tinued good cheer over the excellent
road bed to this city, which was reached
at 7:10 this evening. The train was
composed of two buffet cars, Pokegama
and AllOuez, and E. w. Winters private
car, and instead of using the Northern
Pacific track from West Superior
was brought in on the elevated
road to Eighth avenue west,
where the party was met by a
delegation of citizens in carriages
composed of committee and given a
drive about the city for an hour, when
return was made to the Spalding
and an elegant supper served to which
all did full justice. After supper a
number of citizens entertained the visi-
tors in pointing out the beauties of Du-
luth by electric light until an excursion
about the bay was announced, when
the guests repaired to the dock and were
given Jaunt about the bay and an OPP
portunity afforded to view the bluff
city and her massive coal sheds, eleva-
tors and commercial docks. Another
party returned to the train and started
on the homeward journey. TO many of
the party Duluth was revelation, and
expressions of wonder were heard on
every hand. President MinOt feels
highly gratified at the feeling of good
will toward his road, and if this party
is to serve as an index, these great
commercial cities of the Northwest will
not be slow to show their appreciation
of his magnificent enterprise. Follow
ing is list of those in attendance:

D. STRIKING TRANSFERS.
/ Duluth teamsters want 81 per day
hereafter, and are just now enjoying
the expensive luxury of strike to gain
their point. Contractors have been
paying so per day, but men owning
teams can not afford to work for this
sum any longer, and do not intend to
unless compelled to give in. This
morning, headed by band, about 800 of
the strikers paraded the streets with
their teams and succeeded in bringing
several who had heretofore held aloot
from the union. The contractors say
simply that they can not afford to pay
more than $3.50 per day, while the
teamsters maintain they can not and
