Him els, 900 But, He Had Already
Been Negotiating for the
Bigger Place.

CH1cAeo, Ill, October 3.--An specula-
ton concerning the future plans of J. f.
Goddard, late chairman of the Western Pas
senger association, is brought to an end. It
was given out officially that he is to be COM
missioner of the Trunk Line association, the
place so long held Oy Albert Fink, who re-
signed on account of failing health over a
year ago. Mr.. Goddard, when spoken to on
the subject, unsealed his lips for the first
time and acknowledged that any further at
tempt at concealment would be useless since
the story has been given out by those who
were authorized to speak. He admitted that
he had been offered and had accepted the
commissionership of the Trunk Line associa-
ton, and that after November his head
quarters will be in New York. Mr.. Goddard
gets better position than even the most i'm
aglnative guesser had picked out for him.
His salary as trunk line commissioner Will
be $4,000, if it is the same that was allowed
his predecessor, which is more than double
the amount he received as chairman of the
Western Passenger association. Mr.. God
dard was offered SIS, 900 a year to preside
over the Southern Railway and Steamship
association, but he had already been ap-
preached by the trunk line presidents.

CHICAGO, October S.-Dispatches from q
score of points in the west and northwest,
say that the German citizens celebrated Ger
man day in commemoration of the anniYer-
sary of the landing of the first German set
tiers in America with interesting and, IN
many instances, elaborate ceremonies.
At Milwaukee the celebration took the
form of a parade and demonstration, in
which all the German societies of the city par
ticipated. In the parade there were numer-
Gus categorical and historical floats, includ-
ing the landing of the Concord with the
German pioneers, the settling of German
town, printing the first Bible. Washington e
German body-guard, organizing the first
Turn Verein in Cincinnati, leave taking of
the first Turner regiment at st. Louis, and
the German soldier in the civil war. Be
tween these groups were representations
OF German industries.
At st. Joseph, No., a grand demonstra-
ton; participated in by 1000 members of the
local German societies.
At Evansville, Ind, the celebration covers
two days
At Quincy, Ill, high holiday and mon
ster parade of floats is IN progress.
At Springfield, H.; Burlington, Ia; Madi-
son. Wis, and other points there were big
demonstrations and celebrations.
In this city. however, the day was not OBJ
served in the slightest manner. This is
owing to the Discrimination of the German
element to countenance what they call q
German st. PatrIck's day.

wanamaksr,s Telegraph Plans.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October S.-Postmas-
ter General Wanamaker closes long letter
to the chairman of the congressional COM
mittee on postofices as follows:
The limited postal telegraph bill is not a
proposition to take money from the treasury
or to employ additional civil servants; it is
not a proposition to put any power whatever
In the hands of gentlemen which Is not at
present greater and more dangerous where it
is. 1t is proposition to simply dOvetail to-
gether two great machines so that one shall
do business equitably. and by that means
make more money (which shall be willingly
accorded to it by the people,; the other to
utilize its present skilled and faithful energy
to help supply the people with still better
means of communication, furnished still
more cheaply. It is proposition incident
ally to quicken the telegraph service by en-
couraging all the members of the operators
craft to realize that they are the better of
the more they devote themselves to one thing
and are permitted TO see some results from
their inventive genius. 1t is not proDosi-
ton to buy the railroads or the coal mines,
the saw mills or bake shops of the country.
1t is not confession that American inge-
nuity is incapable of keeping up with the
march of mercantile and industrial progress.
If others speak out for the telegraph share
holders someone must stand for the people
in the interest of the cheaper telegraph that
they want. / believe that it belongs to this
department to take this stand, and l propose
intelligently and persistently to keep this
subject before you in strong confidence that
it will not be long before your committee
will take steps to give the people the relief
prayed for.

Ths Ensct Of the Tarifr IN C.uaas.

BzILEvnLx, orr, October 6.-The effect
OF the passage of the Mckinley bill has been
to hurry forward shipments of barley, of
which the elevators and warehouses have
been cleared. Fully half the crop. which is
light one, has already been moved. A very
large export of peas and apples has been
made. All the eggs in store have also been
shipped. The prospective effect of the meas
ure will be to stop the expert of barley and
peas unless the United States prices advance
to such an extent that about present prices
can be paid. The export of eggs will also
be stopped.
SARNIA, OxT.-The fact that the Mckinley
bill! win come into force on October has
had the effect of materially lowering the
price. of barley. A high price was paid for
several days by those buying for shipment
to the United States before the bill came
into effect. 1t is likely that the effect of the
bill in the future will be to lower the price of
barley in the district, and the United States
as market for Canadian eggs is considered
practically closed.
CAPE VINCENT, n. Y.-The seed houses
here are working full force night and day
and emptying as many schooners az possible
in order to get their Canadian grown peas
and beans into the country before the Mo
K1nley bill goes into effect.

Train Rnhhnd In Ohin

TIFFIN, O., October "A bold express
robbery was committed on a Cincinnati,
Sandusky d Cleveland train south of here,
near Urbana. The Adams express messen-
ger was held up by masked men armed with
reVolvers. The safe was ransacked, the loss
supposed to be several thousand dollars.
Immediately after the train left Urbana,
800 a. m, two masked men with cooked re-
volvers entered the express car and COM
PEELED the Adams express messenger to throw
up his hands.
They tied him securely, robbed the safe of
packages containing several thousand dol
lars and other valuables.
Messenger Scudder was bound in his chair
with a clothes line the robbers brought with
them. One of them whom the other called
Jack" tired to xiii Scudder.
Placing the revolver at his head he pulled
the trigger, but the cartridge failed to ex-
plode. The other robber then prevented
him from trying again.
While they were at work brakeman at
tempted to enter the car and was shot at by
one of the robbers. He gave the alarm and
the train was slowed up to give an oppor-
tunity to capture the robbers, but they
jumped from the train just as it was entering
West Liberty and disappeared in the dark
ness, it then being about O'Clock.
When the tain pulled out of West Liberty
the two scoundrels again got aboard, holding
the entire crew at bay.
Scudder, who had been released, opened
fire on them with pistol from his car door
but was compelled to retreat. The robbers
kept on board until Bellefontaine was
reached, when they again jumped off and dis
appeared.

NEW YoRK.-The most intense excitement
prevailed in and about the custom house.
Whole troops of importers and brokers kept
coming and going. As 3 o'clock approached
the numbers increased until finally the TO
tunda of the custom house was filed with a
solid mass of humanity. All carried large
sums of money.
They were on hand to enter goods that
were expected to arrive late. They wished
to get their entries in under the old law, and
stood ready to make their entries the moment
the vessels were sighted at Fire Island.
The custom house was to have closed on the
strike of O'Clock. Al goods arriving after
that hour we're to come in under the new
law and duty to be charged accordingly.
The mass of importers and brokers in the
custom house was so great at O'Clock that
Collector ErhardJ doerled it inadvisable to
close at that hour. He announced that the
time would be extended until O'Clock. Each
moment after three O'Clock the excitement
became greater. Those IN the rotunda ap-
peared to be going crazy. They shouted,
yelled and made futile efforts to move about.
Every few minutes whole delegations of i'm
porters and brokers invaded the collectors
Office and importuned him tc keep the custom
house open until midnight. The collector
was In quandary. His Office was damned
full OF importers who waved rolls of bills in

the custom house. The pressure on the co..
lector became so great that he finally sent
telegram to Washington. 1t was directed to
Secretary Window, and requested advice as
to what the collector should do under the
circumstances. In little time there came
an answer from the secretary of the treasury
and informed the collector that he could use
his own discretion in the matter. Upon re-
ceipt of Secretary WINDOWS telegram Col
lector Erhardt and his seven deputies held a
consultation. They decided to keep the Gus
tom house open until II O'Clock. The i'm
porters cheered.
At the custom house at $50 p. m. the City
OF chicago was entered, and great part of
the waiting crowd was relieved. At sos p.
m. the steamer Regulus, with cargo of
laces, silks and velvets, was entered. There
was still due the Etruria, the Thingvala and
the Zaandam, and news of them was anx-
lousy awaited. At 1870 p. m. it became
known that the Etruria had been sighted OF
the outer bar at 9:34 D. m. At 11:59 the cap
tain of the Etruria had not arrived. Ten
seconds later, when half the lights we're out,
carnage came on rush to the door and a
great shout went up. From it jumped Cap
tam Haines, who was Immediately behind
the counter and entered the vessel just be-
fore the clock struck midnight. Three
cneers and tiger were given for the captain.

Not Borne Ont by Evidence.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 4.-Judge
Sawyer, of New York, on behalf of the ma
iority of the committee that had been inves-
tigating the administration of affairs in the
pension Office under the Cooper resolution,
stated to an Associated Press reporter that
he learned with surprise that the minority
report of the result of the investigation had
been given out. He was surprised, because
it was well understood by the committee that
the evidence was not all in and the investl-
CATION was not closed. Taking up the ale
cations in the minority report one by one,
Judge Sawyer said there was not one of the
statements that he believed was borne out by
the evidence now in.
