A NEW WHITE HOUSE.

What they want at Washington most
of all is new executive mansion. All
the repairing and patchwork they can
give it will never make the historic old
White house a fit tenement for the
presidents family. 1t is an unhealthy
old rattletrap that ought to be aban-
doned, for it is hardly a fit habitation for
the rats that have taken possession
of it. 1t is constantly filled with
sewer gas. and for the last twenty-five
years has not been inhabited 10y presi-
dents family who did not suffer from
malarial troubles. Notwithstanding
President HARRIsoN's family came
from section where they lived in a
miasmatic atmosphere and were sup
posed to be proof against poisonous
vapors, nearly all of them have sue
cumbed to the unWholesome condition
of the White house. More than that,
the old structure, if it were even pro-
yIded with the most perfect sanitary ar
engagements, is not such mansion
as a great nation of $4,000, 900
souls should provide for its chief
magistrate. There isD't dime
museum or cheap theater in the
country but has a more decent vesti-
bule arrangement than the White
house. The entrance room Isl rickety-
looking old affair, that would do dis
credit to lager beer saloon, and, even
with all their elegant furniture, the four
parlors impress the visitor with a sort
of backwoodS appearance.
The truth is, the building is out of
date. 1t was doubtless considered q
fine establishment in log cabin and hard
cider days, but in the light of modern
architecture it has sadly rusted APP
pearance. There are to-day plenty of

PUGET SOUND BUSINESS.
Chairman Leeds Thinks the Union
Pacific and Northern Pacific
Will Settle Their Disnute.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 11.-Chairman
Leeds, of the Transcontinental associa-
ton, has not called meeting to con-
slider the Northern Pacifc-Union Pacific
dispute with regard to Puget Sound
passenger business. To an Associated
Press reporter Mr.. Leeds said to-day:
IL shall not call meeting for consid-
Grafton of this matter unless [ am
desired to do so by the interstate lines.
| do not anticipate that the trouble will
have such disturbing effect OH trans
continental business as some of the Chi
cago people seem to think. 1t is con-
fined to Northern Pacific territory and
will not affect California business at all.

been no violation Of the agreement. but

the two companies will spdeeily adjust
their differences and there will be no
necessity for called meeting of the

DIFFERENTIAL RATES.

Consideration of the Wabash's De-
mand on Account of Fast Trains.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE board of
managers of the Interstate Commerce
Railway association to-day resumed the
consideration of the Wabash railways
demand for differential rate on ac-
count of fast trains on other lines. Vice
President McMullen, of the Chicago &
Alton, introduced a resolution to the
effect that the speed at which any rail-
way might run its passenger or freight
trains did not entltle its competitor
to a differential rate. The resolu-
ton was defeated, and the Chicago
Il Alton appealed to the eXecu-
tive board. This action shut
off further discussion of the subject.
The proposition of the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road to
make the same rates between Northern
Nebraska points and Duluth that are
now in effect between those points and
Chicago was taken up and referred to a
committee of three to report at a
special meeting of the board to be held
April %. The demand of the Burling-
ton and Chicago g. Alton, that rates on
lumber between Chicago and South
western Missouri river points be re-
duced to ten cents hundred pounds
was rejected, and the managers of
those two roads took an appeal to the
executive board

ALLEGAN, Mich, April 11.-An Incl
dent has just become known which
gives very general satisfaction. A man
named Hurlburt, an employee at the
paper mill, was taken from his house
Monday night by half dozen women
and thrashed numerically with hickory
switches. HurIburt has been in
the habit of beating his wife
upon the slightest proEocation.
He had living with him a
young woman from Kalamazoo, and the
actions of the two had been disgrace
and scandal to the community. Mon
day evening delegation of angry
women, who made no attempt at dis
guise, headed by man wearing a mask,
marched into his house. The man
grabbed Hurlburt, and in twinkling
be was outdoors and the women were
belaboring him. The culprit begged
and prayed for release. but not until
tie women were tired out was he al
lowed to go. His mistress was then in
formed that unless she left the town
she would receive similar treatment,
and she left,

every one personally interested in the

the eX-gOvernor's arrival, because of the
announcement that he is candidate

night he says that he regrets to find an
inclination on the part of some to sink
all the great interests in personal fight
over the offices. AS for himself, he only
hopes to aid the people in taking
advantage of the opportunity offered by
statehood to invite capital to North
Dakota and advance the material inter-
ests of the state. He has many friends
in this section of the territory who are
pleased to see him return.

TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
President Lowry's Circular, and
How His St. Paul Employees Sc
cured Notice of the Proposed


IL
Cut.
The following circular, issued yester-
day morning. explains itself:
To the EMPLOYEES of the st. Paul Street Rail
way Company:
Owing to skrinkage in the receipts and in
creased outlay, we are compelled to reduce
expenses in all departments.
From and after April IA the following will
be the scale of wages:
! Drivers, Is cents per hour.
Stable men and changers, 9 cents per hour.
Conductors, IL cents per hour.
] Gripmen and brakemen, 20 cents per hour.
! THOMAS LOWRY. President.
The circular is almost the same as the
one issued to the employees in Mime
apollS. 1t took the men by surprise, as
they had not looked for such change.
Col. Barr, the superintendent, said
that nearly 5000 was the loss for last
years business. This seriously ham
pered the company in negotiating their
bonas, and it became necessary
to put the system on paying basis.
Extensive improvements and eX-
tensions were contemplated and in
course of construction, and money was
needed. The rate of wages paid was
higher than in most other cities. Mr..
Barr did not expect any trouble, as the
men were too sensible to attempt tie
UP. Some of them who could get bet
ter wages might quit, but there we're
plenty of men who wonld take their
places.
Col. Barr said the company expected
the new Seventh street cable line to pay,
but it would have to make up for heavy
losses on the other branches. For in
stance. the Oakland avenue branch has
been losing from S240 to $500 month.
The new schedule will save the COM
pany, which employs 400 men, from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year. The losses APP
ply to Minneapolis as we'll as to ST.
Paul, and according to Thomas Lowry's
statement. they have been paying high
er wages than the business they were
doing warranted.

were not buying any legislatures this
