Minnesota Business.

Minnesota Business.
CHICAGO, March 31.--At a meeting of
the Northwestern committee of the
Western Passenger association to-day a
telegram was sent to the chairman of
the Trunk line passenger committee,
requesting him to make the same rates
on foreign emigrant business for the
season of 1891 to all points in Northern
Michigan and Northern Wisconsin, by
way of Chicago, that are made by the
Canadian Pacific and South Shore lines.
This business amounts to several thou
sand tickets year, and the Northwest
ern lines are determined to have their
share of it. 1t is claimed that the Can
adian Pacific is cutting rates on this
business to Minnesota, Dakota, Mon
tana, Puget sound and Utah, and even
to points as far south as Trinidad, Col,
but 1t was decided that the question of
meeting this competition should be
brought before the whole association at
its meeting next Tuesday.

this certain member could not speak he

vote was valuable.
Accordingly two other trusty mem
bers were deputized to hunt up the
recreant. They went to his house and
were informed that he was "some-

A POSSIBLE BLUFF"
But England Succeeded in
Creating a Big Scare.

LONDON, Sept. ld-The new Turkish
minister Of the interior telegraphed to the
British ambassador vt Constantinople, Sir
William White, asking the latter to ex-
plains the reports as to the landing of a
British force on Turkish territory. Sir
William In reply said that he was entirely
ignorant of the whole affair, but added
that 1t was probable that the crews of
some British warships may have landed
on the Island OF Mitylene In the course Of
the regular boat drills and landing exer-
cises. The British ambassador assured
the Turkish minister that no forti6cati6ps
had been constructed on the island by
British troops.
This view Of tho case was confirmed By
dispatches received here, Which stated
that the force which had landed from the
British warships had re-embarked and
that the men-of.war had left the Island OF
Mitylene for Marmorito
Sir William White made tho same ex-
plantations to the other embassies. The a.
fair caused great excitement in diplomatic
circles for short time, and 10 Is still az
serted that these same "maneuvers" had
at least the purpose of showing the sultan
and his advisers how easily England could
change her boat drills and lapding exer-
cises off the island of Misylene into q
dangerous reality. .

the dreamy blue line of the Brookline hills.
He does his work largely in the mornings,
and in the afternoons and evenings during
the season he is apt to be somewhat en-
evidence at receptions and dinners or in
his walks and drives.
Mr.. Howells is most interesting in con-
versation, and he replies simply and freely
to all questions regarding his literary aims
and convictions. He is intensely modern;
he is a very earnest student of conditions
and their tendencies; he looks into life on
every side, and his novels are thus forming
a gallery of portraiture which will, if we
mistake not, embody the comedie humane
of America.
The genius of Mr.. Howells is as sympa-
thetically comprehensive as it is versatile,
and whether he writes poems or romance,
it is always with the soul of the poet and
with the heart of a philanthropist. He
unites the critical student of human
nature and the polished grace Of society
and the world. Lillian WHITING.
