A Canadian Pacific Scheme.

CHICAGO. Special Telegram, May 9.-The
Canadian Pacific is preparing to make a
strong BID for the business Of Chicago and
the Northwest. Arrangements have already
been made for the opening of a new through
route from Chicago TO the seaboard, which
viii be entirely without the jurisdiction OF
the in erstate commission. and
will therefore not be subject to any of the
provisions of the interstate commerce law.
The new route will DO made up of a propeller
line from Chicago to Saulu See. Marie, and
thence via the Canadian Pacific to Montreal.
Inasmuch as the interstate law
does not attempt to control water lines con-
Meeting with foreign roads, it is plain that
the new line of the Canadian Pacific can
come to Chicago anG make rates sufficiently
low to get the bulk of the export traffic. and
at the same time hold local rates away above
Though rates. The Chicago easr-bound
roads are greetly exercised over the outlook,
as they are subject to the interstate law and
cannot reduce through rates without drop
ping locals to a corresponding extent.
Tlaffic Manager Odds, of the Comedian Pa
cihc, arrived in Chicago to-day, and, In re-
ponse to inquiries, he stated that the new
route from Chicago to Montreal would GER
tainlv be opened for business about June /.
MI. Odds, however, di>ciaimed, on behalf Of
the Canadian Pacific, any intention of vio-
lating the intent of the American Interstate
commerce law. He admitted that the new
route would not be subject to the same reg
ulations al American roads, but stated that
no advantage would be taken of this condi-
ton. I . ~ '%T&+ *E1 - j.

accused Of having wine theories not in ac.

work by the manner In which he proclaimed
his views against prohibition. The reverend
gentleman admits having iuduIged in q

AXE good beer for failing health. He claims
to be a temperance man aud denies the i'm

investigation and in the meantime sus-
pended Mclean from his pastorate until
after the trial, which will occur at Grafton.

All About q Postage Stamp.

A most unheard of act, which by
many is considered disrespectful in
the highest, or even disloyal, is re-
ported to have been committed by
the postal authorities of New South
Wales. 1t consists in the removal oil
the vignette of her majesty from the
postage stamps of that colony, and
the substitution therefor of the like
ness of an emu. It is gravely an
nounced that this actioni is 'sthe cloud
no bigger than a mans hand, which
will rapidly increase until a food will
come which will sweep the colonial
possessions of Great Britain from
their mornings" And all this dire
foreboding on account of a postage
stamp!-San Francisco Chronicle.

commission would be settled when the COM
mission organized, and he did not know
whether he would be honored with he place
or not Mr.. Thompson is in the city and
ready to go to work as soon as be receives
his commission. He said he believed in civil
service reform, and in his first inaugural ad-
dress as governor Of South Carolina in 1882
he so expressed himself. He claims to have
been the first to use the words "a pubic
office is q public trust" in that address. 1t
was his record as a civil service reformer
he thought that led Cleveland to appoint him
assistant secretary Of the treasury. In u New

p%ointment, he could not say whether he
would accept or not He had heard some

~LOngshoremen Strike.

coal HEAVIER in Ashland is on O strike, the

so cents an hour for unloading vessels. This
price prevailed last year. and when the

to-day the union decided to order a strike
until tue amount was paid. The coal COM
panles argue that the men at Duluth aud
Superior receive only 40 cents. and rave an

ana will permit 10 one to go to work If they
can prevent il. There are three vessels in

two at the Columbus and Hooking docks.
Mayor Reaser was called upon by the coal
companies for police protection wnen new

may be trouble before thu strike Is settled. It
was learned tonight that one hundred Ital-
ian miners will be imported from the Goge-
bic range to-day to take the place of the
strikers. Should this be done there will
surely be trouble at the docks tomorrow.
