PERSONAL POINTS.

1t is rumored that Tanner will join
BOulanger on the Isle of Jersey.
Susan B. Anthony has sued glucose
company. This will surely make the
great American Photographer jocose.
Wasban Effendi is not a persona
grata to The Italian government. 1t is
too bad that Washan is not more pop
ular in Europe.
Chief Justice Fuller says that he is
not candidate for the presidency. This
is the more remarkable as he is from
Chicago.
King Kalakany, of the Sandwich Is
lands, is writing an epic poem on Ha-
waiian legends. HAWAIIAN goes up
from the reading public.
Another astonishing story regarding
Amelie Rives-Chanler comes from Eu-
rope. 1t is said that she has become de-
voted to the violin and often rises at
night to play upon it.
Justice Stephen J. Field looks none
the worse for his exciting experience in
California. 1t troubles him. however.
and he discourages all illusions to it.
His friends understand that he is to
speak of 1t first.
1t has come to light that the death Of
the late Amy Levy, the young London
novelist, was Intentional and was caused
by the fumes of charcoal. She was dis
gusted with the heartlessness Of the
world at large.

dissatisfied with the situation. With
fine crops and all the general influences
conducive to the prosperity of the
towns, they are not moving ahead as
they should. With few exceptions,
their growth is hampered from some
cause. Then it is palpable to the in
telligent and observing tnat the con-
sumption of liquor has not been mate

dergone some change, but the evils at
tendant upon the traffic have been
augmented. a large revenue has been
lost, with no compensation in public
sObriety. An increase of taxation is
requisite. and the pocket lies very near
the political conscience with large

incident if the Democrats elect their
governor in Iowa, put it may be well to
wait for the November shower before
looking for the rainbow.

They came, they saw, but we con-

preston of opinion among the distln-
guiShcd Pan-Americans who visited our
city yesterday. Not only were they
charmed by the unbounded hospitality
of our citizens, but they were surprised
beyond all measure to witness the evil

Of which they had never so much as

This visit of the Pan-American dele
CATION is historic event which will be
perpetuated in the annals of ST. Paul.
We have contributed our share toward
enlightening our neighbors to the south
of US concerning the vastness of this
country and its resources. We have
helped to convince them of the neces-
sity for establishing closer commercial
relations with the United States, and of
the Importance Of joining their des-
TIMES with ours. More that that, and
better than all. we have added our mite
toward establishing the peace of the
world, and securing that brotherhood
Of nations which precede the millen-
mum.
1t is safe to assert that the results of
this six weeks tour Of our Pan-AmC r
can friends will be Of more benefit to
mankind in general and to the people
of the Western hemisphere in particu-
lar than all the wars that have delugPd
Europe in blood within the last hum-
dred years. The victories Of peace are
more renowned than war, and in that
happy, golden time ahead of us when
nations shall learn war no more the
faithful historian will surely make the
Pan-American congress as an epoch in
the effort to establish universal peace
upon earth. And whatever good,

1t was happy thought that suggested
this journey, and if all the cities in
their route are as active and as hOspita-

no question of the good impression that
will be made upon the minds of the
delegates.

A SIMMER ENGAGEMENT.

1t was only a summer arrangement
ITO die when the flowers die"
We carelessly said, when the parting comes
No one will cry"
So we danced and talked or rowed the
streams
By the light OF the midnight moon.
We laughed in the sun-but the autumn
frosts
Came all too soon.
.sSuch summer time" he dreamily said,
fought to last whole life through"
Then he softly sighed, when the winds
blow cold
I'll think Of YOU"
s.It was only summer engagement,
To die when the flowers die
We thoughtlessly thought when the parting
came
No one would cry.
The parting came with laugh and jest
A backward glance and sigh.
But he held my hands to-day till said
1Some one did cry"

chase of large tract of land in Lower
California: "The MormOns will go

The Difficulty Denied.

Referring to the dispatch published
in yesterdays papers about the alleged
difficulty between the Northern Pacific
and Canadian Pacific over hauling ties
at Winnipeg, s. L. Moore. general
freight agent of the Northern Pacific,
says that there was no difficulty at all.
The ties were sold and the contract to
deliver them was made, with the under
standing that they were to be trans
ferred from Northern Pacific to Cana
dian Pacific cars. The price at which
they were sold covered the expense of
this transfer. The rate made by the
Northern Pacific was a fair one but at
much lower figure than this road could
have hauled them for, had it not been
that they were sending empties to Man
it0ba to return with wheat. Had it not
been for this the ties would have been
shipped over some other road. The re-
port that the Canadian Pacific refused
to haul it on Northern Pacific cars is
entirely false. as this transfer was ex-
pressly stipulated in the contract.

The proce ssiOn was once more got

were at once ushered into the mayors
rooms, which were decorated in an eX-

committee awaited their arrival. headed
by Gov. Merriam and ex-Govs. Ramsey,
Hubbard and Sibley. The delegates
were drawn up on one side of the APP

Paulites on the other. Col. MonfOrt adj
dressed the delegates, welcoming them
to the city and explaining briefly the
progress and resources of Minnesota,
and the relative importance of st. Paul.
Following is
MI MoNFoRTs SPEECH.
In welcoming you to the state Of Minnesota
and the city of st. Paul have the honor Of
conveying TO you an expression OF the pleas
ure your visit causes our citizens, and the
qualification they experience in thus having
an opportunity afforded them Of meeting so
many distinguished representatives of our
sister states and also OF manifesting their
appreciation of the importance Of the SUBJ

Before proceeding to more particular intro
auctions it may not be inappropriate for me
to say that among those gathered here for the
purpose Of welcoming and greeting you, and
whom you see before you there are some who
are among our most honored citizens. III addi-
ton to being the verv earliest pioneers OF
civilization in this entire region, and who,
within the period Of their own lives, have
seen it's marvellous transformation from an I'M
broken wilderness occupied only by wild
beasts and warlike sayages into the fruitful

are at least some among them who. almost on

knives of savage and yindictiYe foes. The
record of the early lives OF these men
would be reflection of forms and cond;-

FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
Full Meaning of the Union Pa
cific Traffic Agreement.

cific Traffic agreement.
BosToN, Oct. 24.-The report of a
traffic agreement between the Union
Pacific and Chicago q Northwestern
railways was confirmed at the Union
Pacific Office here to-day. The agree
ments. which are for ten years. cover
about thirty closely printed pages. The
long agreement is between the Omaha
d Republican Valley and the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis q Omaha. The
Joint line, via Sioux City, Iowa, is to be
known as the Lake Superior, st. Paul
a. Union Pacific line. The agree
ment between the Northwestern
and Union Pacific establishes a
line via Council Bluffs. to be known as
ern line. The entire systems are par
ties to the contract, except in the case
of the Kansas division of the Union Pa
cific, which at no point connects with
the Northwestern. The agreement pro-
vides for Joint tariffs and trains; settle
ment of disputes: divisions of earnings
from through trains: proportions OF
equipment; rates under competition,
and that no competitors shall have ad-
vantage over the parties to this agree
ment, which goes into effect Nov. l.
The agreement goes nowhere east OF
Chicago, but it is thought here it can
mean nothing less than a through line
from ocean to ocean by way of the Bos-
ton Il Albany and Vanderbilt lines.
LEARNED IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The traffic
agreement with the Northwestern and
Union Pacific has created great deal
of discussion among the railroad Of
ficials in this city. Vice President
Sykes, of the Northwestern road, said
tonight that the contract with the
Union Pacific had been formally exc
cuted and approved by the board OF di-
rectors of both roads. 1t runs
for ten years, but is not
an exclusive arrangement between
both roads in the sense of
either road refusing to handle the bust
ness of the other competitors. The
Rock Island and Burlington have west
ern connections of their own and Chi
cago connections, so that the alliance
between Northwest and Union Pacific
is simply in the line OF similar arrange
ments already made by other systems.
The arrangement does not go east of
Chicago, aDd Vice President Sykes said
that he had no knowledge that the allied
lines intended to make an eastern con-
nection. Vice President Bond, of the
ST. Paul ROAD, said in reference to the
agreement that if it is an exclusive con-
tract it will hurt other roads.

HEAVY SALE OF c., 3. & Q.
But Officials of the Road Don't
Consider it OminOuS.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4.-Regarding
the published statement in connection
with the reported consolidation Of West
ern railroads, that 'heavy transfers of
Chicago. Burlington & Quincy stock to
the names of capitalists identified with
the Pennsylvania railroad have recently
been made," high officials of the latter
company said to-day that they knew
absolutely nothing about any such
transfer; that so far as the Pennsyl-
vania Railway company or its officials
were concerned, no purchase of Chi
cago. Burlington 81 Quincy stock had
been made. nor any deal between the
two companies contemplated. Pur-
chases OF Chicago, Burlington q Quincy
stock may have been made, they say, by
persons who are also stockholders of the
Pennsylvania railroad. but if so it has
been business affair of the purchasers
alone. MANY inducements" said one
of the officials, "have been offered the
Pennsylvania Railroad company to be-
come interested in railroads in the West
and Northwest, but it has been, and is
still, the policy of the company to have
its system end in the West at Chicago
and st. Louis, as at present.

ABOUT THE CITY.
A Drive Which Included a Fire
Department Display.

After re-embarking, the procession
wendell its way to the corner of Uni
versity and Summit avenues, where
halt was called by the spectacle of four
fire engines and the accompanying
lingerie, which came tearing along Sum-
nit at just such a gait as the horses
can go when they know there's some
one keeping tab on their work. Engine
companies Nos. l, 2, 3 and turned
out, and laid 500 feet of hose in
less time than it takes to write
the story. after which the water tower
was shown off for the benefit of the Wis
itors, who were more than delighted
with the exhibition. COntinuing,a drive
was taken about the residence portion
of the city, causing fresh EXPLANATIONS
of wonder from the delegates at the
beauty of the hill palaces and business
buildings. Owing to the chilliness of
the afternoon the drive was somewhat
curtaled from the original intention,
and the party returned to the Ryal hotel
at 4:30. after a day spent in manner
which could scarcely have been other
than pleasing.
