senator Cullom's Committee.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
WASHINGTON, May 14.-Senator Cullom,
of Illinois, was in town yesterday to look
after some matters connected with the in
yestigation of the committee of commerce
into the competition between American and
Canadian railroads, in which he is espec-
tally intesested. The committee will give
a hearing in Boston at the Vendome July
5, and for one or two days thereafter 1t
will then go to Montreal and make some
inquiries regarding the alleged disclimi-
nations against our people or the canals.
The committee is finding it pretty
serious problem, and one which it has not
yet solved, to devise way for our railroads
to the Pacific to successfully compete with
the Canadian roads without violating the
interstate commerce laws. Various meas
ures for restricting and mountaineering
the Canadian roads have been sugge Sled
but are not likely TO find special favor.

The trouble over the Guild was the out
come of the grandmotherss dislike of its
mother, and the grandmother wished to
take it out of the mothers control and
make it her heir, with it's father as guard
ian. This Eileen and her family would not,
permit. On the death of the widow, in her
will, she disinherited her grandchild be-

member of the administration who is popu-

raj vote of the state. Secretary Tracy
replied jocusely that if that were the case
he might be considered the first candidate
in the field for 1892.

and Dakota give accounts of heavy rain

New YORK, May 1.-The elimination
of the Leonard Casserly affair was his ex-
pulsion from the Manhattan club last
Thursday evening. AS already telegraphed
to the Examiner, he was charged with hay
ing forged the ballots that caused so much
trouble and raised such row at the clubs
annual election. The subcommittee ap-
pointed to discover the culprit found such
convincing evidence that Casserly was
guilty that formal charges were preferred.
Casserly was given an opportunity to de-
fend himself, but instead he sent in his
resignation.
At the meeting of the board of managers
Thursday, the case came up for final dispo
sition. The board unanimously refused to
accept his resignation then without an OPP
posing voice, and proceeded to expell him.
Casserly was at one time emigration com
missioner. He is a brother of eX-United

remains that Spokane has given Knott

Poles and Bohemians Must Go.

ST. PAUL, May IA determined effort
is to be made in a few days to evict the
Polish and Bohemian squatters on what
are known as the Upper Flats" Papers
are now being prepared and 1000
people will be evicted. This will sweep the
''flats" of squatters and they will be then
used for manufacturing and warehouse
purposes, for which uses they are very val
liable Some of the squatters have asserted
squatters' rights, which gives them title
after twenty years of residence and it is
probable there will be trouble if an attempt
to eVict them be made.
