Special to the Globe
OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. 5.-There is good
reason to believe that strong effort is
being made by the Ames faction of the
Union Pacific railroad to secure the
support of Sidney Dillon for the Outh-
waith bill. The price of his fealty is
said to be nothing less than the retire
ment of Charles Francis Adams from
the presidency of the Union Pacific
road. When this is accomplished it is
proposed to fill the position with man
who will be acceptable to both AmeS
and Dillon. While in New York re-
Gently S. FL. III. Clark, formerly general
manager Of the Union Pacific and now
holding the same position with the Mis-
souri, Pacific, had conversation with
Frederick Ames in which the latter
talked quite freely about the affairs of
the former road. He spoke of the Outh-
waith bill and the probability of its
going through at the next session of
congress. Sidney Dillon, he said. while
favorably inclined to the measure was
very hostile to Charles Adams and
wished to get rid of him. He even went
so far as to make the deposition of MIR.
Adams from the presidency an essential
condition of his support of the bill. Mr..
Adams said to Mr.. Clark that he hesi-
tated about taking so grave step, but
might find Unnecessary to do so in order
to secure the passage of the bill.

ment of rates can be made for the next year's
traffic. At the present time it does not seem
possible to make any other award than the
authorization of the rate from Rawlins, as
proposed by the Union Pacific, at the same
sum as the Fort Casper rate. This award,
however, is limited in effect to the present
season."
The next decision is in regard to an
application of certain lines to make re-
duced rates on lumber to be used in the
construction of cribs for corn at stations
on their respective roads. Mr.. Walker
decided, however, that reduction not
exceeding so per cent of may be made
on lumber between points within any
single state where the lumber is to be
used solely for the construction Of cribs
for corn. Concerning the proposition
of the st. Joseph Il Grand Island road
to apply differential rate ON wheat
from points on its line to Duluth, Chair
man Walker, after reciting in detail
the situation, says:
Under the circumstances, at the present
time it would hardly be fair TO extend the
operation of tariff, the validity or propriety
Of which Is seriously challenged, to another
commodity, until this question can be prop
erly settled. This appeal, therefore, must be
dismissed, but without prejudice to Its re-
newal in case the existing tariff on corn shall
not be modified within reasonable time.
The question of grain rates from
points in Kansas to st. Paul or Mime
apOliS is disposed of as follows:
ut appearing that at present no rates on
grain from points in Kansas to st. Paul and
Minneapolis are in existence, other than the
sum of the locals by the various lines, after
hearing other members of the trans Missouri
association, who make no objection, rate is
authorized two and one half cents higher
than the rates in effect from the same points
to Chicago. This award is made OH the ap-
plication of the Union Pacific Railway COM.
pany from the disagreement of the managers
of the trans-Missouri association, the appli-
cation being based on the existing differen-
tials between Chicago and st. Paul from

state of Nebraska for uniformed bands

Foreign Capitalists Figuring to
- Control the Cotton Industry of
America.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 3.--The
Fab River News publishes this after
noon a circular letter which is to be
mailed in New York to-day, addressed
to the president and board of directors
of every cotton mill in Fall River. The
letter says:
Gentlemen: 1t is our desire to secure con-
troll OF the entire cotton manufacturing of Fail
River and elsewhere, and We address you for
the purpose Of obtaining Your views as to
the probability of your shareholders or
a majority, being willing to sell or pool their
stock upon basis of mutual advantage. 1t
is, of course, useless for. us at this time to
set forth our plans in detail We are pleased
to inform you that the Central Trust Com
pany of New York has consented to act as
trustee in behalf of both parties. Should the
matter meet with your favorable consdera-
ton, we would thank you to advise us at an
early date, and we will then confer with you
personally in regard to details.
Signed by George F. Mellen, Emerson c.
Mcmillan, II. B Wilson, committee.
Mr.. Mellen says the syndicate which
has been formed represents principally
foreign capital, and that already the
amount subscribed is more than Sutfl-
cient to buy the cotton industry of
America. This really is what is aimed
at, and operations will not be confined
to Fall River, but extended to l. )well,
Lawrence, New Bedford and the best
mills in the country. The Fall
River mills have capital exceed
ing S20,000,000, and an invest
ment probably of thirty millions or
more. Just how negotiations will be
instituted will interest outsiders, as
these mills are owned by thousands of
stockholders. Directors have no power
to sell the mills, and beyond a few hun
bred shares, probably little stock could
be bought at anything like prevailing
prices. Mellen is at Alexandria Bay in
consultation with parties interested in
the syndicate, and in September goes
abroad to complete arrangements.

THE IRON CAR.
A Scheme for Its Manufacture in
West Duluth.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Aug. 3.-The head OF Lake
Superior was to-day assured of an in
dustry which stamps indelibly the seal
of manufacturing supremacy as her lot.
For some months past General Manager
Ettenger, of the Iron Car Company of
New York, has been engaged in cor
respondence with, and personal visits
to and from managers of the Minnesota
Car company with view of forming
business union. resulting in the reor-
ganiZatiOn of the latter company by the
admission of these powerful New
York allies as stockholders. A short
time ago Mr.. Ettenger came again
and the res Blt is that satisfactory ar
rangementS have been made, and the
two corporations have entered into
agreement whereby the latter assumes
the construction of all lrOu cars for the
West, Northwest and Southwest, and
President j. +. L. Anderson and Gen
eral Manager William E. Tanner, of the
Minnesota Car company, and MIR. Ell
details complete. The definite aSsur-
ance of this consolidation means much
to Duluth, but it means infinitely more
to the Northwest. The iron car is the
car OF the future. In point of carrying
capacity, durability, lightness and
strength it has been demonstrated
the superior of the wooden car, and
though its cost is nominally more, its
superior service renders it in the end
by far the cheaper. SO much for the
car itself. To Duluth the location OF
the manufacturing plant means the en-
ployment of several thousand skilled
and unSkilled Workmen and the dlStrl-
button monthly of tens of thousands OF
dollars: it means an addition to her pop
ulation of thousands. and an advertise
ment throughout the breadth of the
United States that cannot be estimated.
Immediately it means the expenditure,
under terms of the contract, Of $150,000
or S175,O00 in dwelling houses alone Tor
workmen. The consolidated company
will spend 100000 in new buildings and
necessary machinery needed at once,
swelling the total capital invested by
the dual company to the magnificent
sum of S750,000.
As to details of the industry, several
erroneous statements have been given
out by both local and outside papers. 1t
was stated that the Iron car company
asked bonus of 200 lots at West Du-
luth, wnen, as matter OF fact. the CON-
pany agreed as to terms with the Min
nes0ta Car company purely upon pri-
vate business basis, and without asking
or receiving gratUitous consideration.
The malIeable iron works and the spe
cial mill for rolling the iron tubes, i'm
portant adiunctS but entirely independ-
ent establishments, asked and received
the 200 lots upon a bonded guarantee
that from $50 to-200 houses should at
once be erected at an average. cost APP

A WISE AND JUST JUDGE.
Charges of Discrimination Held
to Be Not Proven,

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 3.-The Hot
Springs, or as it is more popularity
known "The Diamond 10 road,' had
been discriminating in favor of the st.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern road
by selling through tickets over that
road in preference to the Little Rock &
Memphis road. A short time ago the
Little Rock Il Memphis road brought
suit in the federal court, alleging unjust
and illegal discrimination on the part of
the Iron Mountain q Hot Springs
road, and asked that action be
taken to compel the defendant
roads to recognize through tickets
sold over the plaintiffs road from Mem
phis to Hot Springs, or vice versa.
To-day in the United States court,
Judge Caldwell rendered decision iu''
favor of the defendant roads. The
judge held that there was no power ins
the laws of the United States. either in
the interstate commerce commission or
in the United States courts, compelling.
one railroad to enter into a convention
as to rates with competing lines.

W. c. Casey, of Augusta, knows more
about fish and snake stories than any
man in Georgia.

that the only reason for doubling the
Scriptures,is that so many of the apos-
ties were fishermen"
Catfish, when frightened, always run
down stream. On this he builds mar
rative, and swearS to it.
A negro, fishing in the Savannah, he
says, hooked huge catfish which ran
down stream at a rapid rate, the boat
and darkey following, the cat not stop
ping till exhausted.
1t was then captured, but placed in
the water. The next day the negro tied
rope to it, attached the line to his boat
and turned the fish in the river. Down
stream the boat went, faster than oars
could carry it or wind propel it.
The fish is fed and petted with care.
A set of harness has been made for it.
The negro is now trying to educate it to
60 up stream.

ST. PAUL, May 22.-The Pioneer Press
says: 1t has been rumored for several
weeks past that there was a scheme
brewing fer the purchase of the milling
interests at Minneapolis by a syndicate.
These rumors have been denied by prom
lnent millers. Now, however, they have
been confirmed by a telegram from Lon
don to the effect that a movement is on
foot among English capitalists to secure
control of the some Of the largest flour
ing interests in the United States. among
them being the Pillsburg property

far as to say that negotiations have been
under way for some time, but without
any conclusion having been reached.
The plan is believed to be an attempt to
syndicate, or form a stock company to
control large and valuable milling and
elevator property.
This report, local millers were willing
to acknowledge, was not a mere canard.
Of course. all the mill property. like any
other property. could be purchased pro-
