, RnIEF VICTORY FOR THE CANADIAN PACIFIC


Chicago, Aug speciaD.-The Transcontinental AS
ISOLATION has disposed of of its hardest problems
nv the agreement over the Canadian Pacific diher
entails The agreement is to be in force for three
months and to that extent alone can be called
victory for the Southern Pacific. The demand OF that
road was for a complete adjustment of dlferentials,
whereas there was reduction amounting TO less than
o. ner cent Except in the time limit, the result
is a victory for the Canadian Pacific, the reduction
In diGerentials being only fraction less than the
concession offered by that company the second day
Of the meeting 1t definitely settled this morn
ing that diHerentials must go I'm the future. Tho
demand OF the Denver and Rio Grande Western for
diferentials was unanimously refused, many OF the
members taking the strongest possible ground against
difcrentials TO any road for any cause. There is
distinct threat conveyed in the limitation OF the agree
ment in allowing the dferentals 20 the Canadian
Pacific At the expiration Of that time Congress
will be on the eve of convenng, and disturbance
among railroads which is apparently brought about
by foreign competition will have far greater weight
than at present 1t IS understood distinctly that the
Southern Pacinc's notice OF withdrawal continues
without prejudice, in spite OF the agreement Only
two persons outside of the association knew Of
plan that would have been perfected to-day had not
an agreement been reached yesterday. IL was lhat
all the American roads should resign In a body from
the association. A now association under new
name, but with the same aims and the same member
shin except the Canadian Pacific, would then have
been formed Immediately. The prciminaries had all
been arranged and. only the temporary agreement
prevented its completion

SMUGGLING CASE.

A Fine Art House Imports in = reeulIar
Way.
NEW YORK, April 6.-Allard & Sons, a
large Partisan firm dealing in antiques,
art furniture rare tapestries and bric-a-
brac, have a branch establishment at 80
Fifth avenue. For seven years this hous
has engaged in the most bare-faced SNUG
Cling.
For several years the agent for Allard q
Sons here was a man named Blossaire.
Three years ago he was superseded by
their present agent, Paul Rouiez. Under
Roulez's management Blossaire was stead,
lily degraded until last February he waa
discharged. In revenge Blossaire soma
weeks ago impaired to Special Treasury
Agent George 81. Simmons information
that led to an immediate investigation of
the firm.
Simmons soon found that smuggled
goods had been purchased unexpectedly
from this firm by some OF the wealthfest
residents and most liberal art collectors in
this city, including William K Wander
bilt H Mckay Twombly and Orme Will
son; also by Robert Garrett, of Baltimore;
William B. Borden, Of Chicago, and many
others.
The scheme pursued by the firm was to
| consign to their New York house cabinet
furniture in which were concealed under
meath the marble tops and in the false
PdnciluS, COSbiy pOItAcTc CuI t6iuS anu AASA
gobelin tapestries. Customs duties, OF
course, would be paid only on the furniture.
In the Fifth avenue store the smuggled
goods would be removed.
Purchasers were invariably charged ex-
travagant prices for the articles, with the
| duties out of which the Government had
| been swindled added thereto. Thus q
double fraud was perpetrated. 1t is not
suspected that any one Of the purchasers
had the remotest idea that the goods were
smuggled.
At seven O'Clock Tuesday morning Sim
mons, with four other officers, went to
Allards' store, made a raid ON the stock
and captured a large number of chairs
with upholstered seats that were found
stuffed with rich laces, tapestries, silks,
| bronzes, portieres and curtains. These
chairs were a recent invoice and had not
been unpacked. Yesterday Roulez made
a full confession.

STATE OF TRADE.

Dun's Weekly Review of the Country's
Trade-Increase In Railroad Earnings
But Trade Generally Rather Dull.
NEW YORK, April 6.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: Railroad
earning show an increase of about Is per
cent. over last year for March, so far as
reports have been received, and yet stocks
are lower, though at later quotations partial
recovery is seen. Trade at interior points
is dull or quiet in nearly all cases, though
at Cleveland it is fairly satisfactory; at At
lanta it is satisfactory with spring busi-
ness we'll sustained; at Omaha it is con-
sidered good; at Kansas City improving.
and at st. Paul trade in dry goods and
clothing is very active. There is improve
ment at Detroit, particularly, and lumber
is firmer.
Wool has declined for nearly all quali-
ties except New Mexican and Texas. The
average Of 104 quotations is 34S cents.
The outlook is favorable for a good de-
mand when the new clip appears. De-
pressing influences are felt in the several
branches of the dry goods and clothing
trade. not the least being the accumula.
tion of stocks which the even winter left
unsold. Raw cotton is &c stronger. In
the market more pressure torealize il seen
here and at Philadelphia. and Southern
iron is offered at soc to 81 below the cor.
respon ding Northern grades. Bar iron
remains very dull, and rails have sold
moderately without lifting Of prices. The
allotment for the year has been increased
200. 600 tons. In the coal market no inn
provement appears. The sales of copper
abroad at about f41 per ton, with no news
of settlement between the syndicate and
producers, causes stagnation here, and
while lake is sold at 15kc for April, the
quotation for e. m b. July is only 1Oxc.
Oil has been a shade higher, but pork is
Soc lower.
Pressure to sell abroad and fear of
monetary troubles growing out OF the
Paris difficulty, have reduced the price of
coffee &c. The average price of all COM
modities has again declined over Is of !
per cent for the week.

The fence referred to was to be not less than

also to be no open bitches, but underground

Philip told them to come on as it was a

As the strikers went up Indian street, to
the most di>cordant music imaginable,
they were followed by a motley crowd,
mostly composed of colored people.
