& Northern Pacific, while gradually
rising are those of the Manitoba. The
new tracks Of the st. Paul & North
ern Pacific are On the same level
as those of the Manitoba for the greater
part of their distance, but the latter
continues to rise after turning to the
west. just before going under the West
minister street bridge, while those of
the former keep on the same level. The
Omaha tracks, which cross the tunnel
almost at right angles to join those of
the Manitoba over by Mississippi street,
are on higher level. coming in from
the Omaha yards. The whole system
has, however, fairly steep grade, and
Is a magnificent piece of railroad engi-
neerlng. Here in this narrow gorge
space is utilized by calculations of
mathematical precision, it being too valu-
able to waste, and the number of lines
that have to cross and recross each other
necessitate much bridging. Over the
tracks of the st. Paul & Northern Pa
cific came the trains of the Minneapolis
& st. Louis, $780," Milwaukee, Mime
apolis & Pacific, Wisconsin Central and
other lines which have leases. After
reaching the middle of Third street all
lines make use of the tracks of the
Union Depot company. If
ANY NEW LINES
desired to gain access to the city it will
be seen that they would find it abso-
lutely impossible to get room for a sin
gle track on any Of the levels of the
present tracks. They could not get
down low enough to tunnel the whole
system. and trestle bridge several
miles long would be an expensive lux
ury, because they would never be per-
mitted to cross any of the streets which
bridge this maze of tracks on a level,
and the elevation necessary to rise above
these streets would make fearfully
expensive job of it, besides making the
grade into the union depot too steep for
any train to climb. Their only other
alternative would be the leasing of right
of way. Though not shown on the
map, it must be borne in mind that the
bluffs come down to the edge of the
tracks on both sides, and have been cut
down so as to be now almost perpen-
dicular, rendering any widening of the
space available an absolute impossible
ity. Therefore the conclusion must be
reached that, failing any arrangements
with the two roads which own the prop
erty, any new road desiring to enter st.
Paul from the north or east would have
a difficult job on its hands. Alb.

PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED.

tie All the Important Tarify
Questions.
WASHINGTON, June p. Secretary
Window has determined to settle as
soon as possible all the important tariff
questions which have been raised since
his incumbency. and to that end he had
a long conference to-day with Assistant
Secretary Tichenor, who has direct
supervision over this branch of the
treasury business. The principal ques-
tions considered to-day related to the
classification of lead ores containing
silver, drawback ON jute bagging and
the classification of Canadian-built cars
used on American railroads. In regard
to the former question, it is learned that
the department has received reports
from special agents sent to the Mexican
border for the purpose of investigating
the subject Of importation of lead ores
from Mexico; that extensive frauds
have been practiced, and that the pay
ment OF the proper amount of duties on
this commodity has been Systematically
evaded. These reports will have great
weight in the settlement of the question
at issue, and it is believed that the de-
partment will hold that the dutiable
value of imported ores. containing lead
and silver, hereafter must be deter.
mined by the relative weight of the two
metals instead of their relative value, as
under the present practice. Secretary
Window said this afternoon in speaking
of the conference that they had reached
conclusions in several of the questions
under consideration, but that they
would not be In shape for public aD
before next week.

HATED BY THE RED MEN.
Serious Charges Against Indiap
AGENT Monfeith.

oSCut MOut CItns
WASHINGTON, June 21.-James Reub
ems, Nez Perces, from Idaho, called on
Secretary Noble and Acting Indian
Commissioner Belt, to-day, and warmly
protested, in the name of his tribe.
against the retention in Office of Charles
E. Monteith as agent for his people.
Mr.. Monteith was the agent for the Nez
Perces during tine four years imme-
diateiy prior to 1886, when he was sue
ceeded BY George W. Norris. His pres
ent appointment was made since the in.
coming of thepresent administration.
Reubens represented that during None
teith's former term he had forfeited
the respect and goodwill of the tribe
by repeated acts of clueity. and on
many occasions he had demonstrated
the fact that he had no interest what
ever in the welfare of the Indians. He
said that he was man totally untitled
by nature to occupy the position he
held. 1t was demonstrated by the fact
that during his former term he had
gained the ill-will and enmity of nearly
every member of the tribe. He said.
further. that his people would persist
emily oppose the allotment of their
lands in severalty now being made by
Miss Fletcher, unless Monteith were re-
called, and another and better
man sent to them in his place. Secre.
tary Noble, at the end of Reubens'
statement, assured him that his charges
against Mr.. MOnteith would receive his
careful attention, and if it were found
that Mr.. MOnteith was unftted for the
position to which he bad been appointed,
he would not be permitted to continue
in it. The secretary, however. said thai
while he was disposed to give them, as
the agent, the very best man obtainable,
yet he fully expected the Indians to
abandon any purpose they
might have of retaliating against Mr..
take their lands in severalty.

street bridge "a on the map, the Mani
tOba tracks are seen to turn to the
northwest, passing over the tunnel. and
can just be seen disappearing under the
Mississippi street bridge, with the Rice
street and Como avenue bridges away
in the distance. At this point the
Omaha tracks join those of the Mani
tOba, coming i'm from the east and pass
ing under the Westminster street
bridge at E. from which point they fol-
low along between the piers OF the
bridge until they join the tracks of the
Manitoba, over which they run into the
depot. Beyond the bridge
ANOTHER SHORT TUNNEL
is reached, GO, under which the newly
laid tracks of the St. Paul s. Northern
this the tunnel is seen to be composed
of two arches, the second being the
northern end of the long tunnel. Thus
there is double tunnel, the first being
LOCO feet long, from A to B, and the
second only about 15O feet, the entrance
to which is shown at G. Over this tun-
mel at the northern end the Omaha
tracks are again seen crossing from east
to west to join those of the Manitoba,
near the Mississippi street bridge. The
new and old tracks of the st. Paul &
NorthernP Pacific are seen to unite up near
the further Mississippi street, bridge and
those of the Wisconsin Central are seen
curving around the bluffs to the left.
This is very complicated labyrinth,
and can not be properly understood with
out the direction of guide thoroughly
familiar with the position. The GLOBE
is indebted to Maj. A. G. Postlethwaite,
general land commissioner of the North
ern Pacific and st. Paul & Northern Pa
cific roads. for an explanation and clew
to the labyrinth. The amount tOf engi-
neering work that has been necessary to
get all these tracks into so narrow
space is something vast. The long tun-
mel is a fine brick and stone structure,
and has a curious feature right in its
midst. This is bridge over Trout
creek, which flows under it almost at
right angles. The different levels of
the roads are also remarkable, and the
steepness of the grade can be best seen
by watching a heavily-laden train toll
ing up the Manitoba tracks between
Seventh street and the Mississippi
street bridge. The lowest level is that
