Winnipeg special says: A telegram
from Ottawa stating that II Senator
Halc's bill affecting the Canadian Pacific

as would prevent tho Northern Pacific

An article which appears In the

attacking bismarck, has raised n crop OF
concurrent rumor-, which are absorbing
interes, here Tho Freisinnige affirmed
that tho chancellor, unable TO sup-
port three weeks OF political abstinence,
summoned Editor hamburger. Of tho
Nachrichtcn, who dined at frledrichs-
rhue, Tuesday, aud that, coached by
Bismarck, hamburger made a series 81
attacks upon chancellor Won Caprivi,
sneering at hls speech IN the
landiag. and advising tho deputies
to maintain loyal adherenca
to the ex.chnnceilors's policy. Thu
Freisinnige inferred that what bismarck
meant was through the press and pariin-
ment 10 act against General Won Capriyi.
Thereupon, the Post tconservntive) de-
nouncel the article as insulting TO tho
prince, denies that the Nachrichtan is
inspired, and expresses regret that that
journals sympathy with Dismarck's pol
Icy leads Il 10 play into the hands OF his
enemies.
The truth Is that bismarck summoned
the editor Of the Nachrichtcn to consult
In regard 10 the getting of capable lit
erary man and reliable coin
fident to assist him In arranging
and compiling his memoirs. Tho day
after the Interview DIR. Lucanus was sent

Pill Armour is an epigrammatic
talker, fall of quaint illustrations and
SMILES. He likes to speak sef-de-
precatingly, calling himself "a butch
err His laugh is strong and hearty,
and he is the cause Of laughter in 9TH
ers. Armour abhors man who
speaks in his throat and doesn't know
how to "spt it out"
He is not hungry for money. He
goes working along simply because
work is his delight. He gives away
IN year more money than any other
man in America. He is, too, content
with small profits on his business. The
net returns do not exceed three mill
ions, or less than six per cent.
Armour has a striking, a unique in
dividuality, but Is TO all who know him
well one of the most lovable of men.
Though carrying on a business great
er than that OF any railway corpora
ton in America. and though at times
he makes a great deal of money in
speculative deals-he never vet lost a
fight in that lield-he is singuIarly irri-

sausage, and the chief was not APP

instruction on the heavenly joys Of
another life had vacation. Why not
