the sub-treasury in New York, says he has no
desire TO reIeat the experiences of the trip,
and he Is of the opinion that the government
will not try it again soon.
The publication of the fact that the train
had started increased the danger that robbers
might attack or attempt to wreck tee train.

The result was the less of many hours of
sleep. The gusr1s were in the front car, so
situated that they could see without being
seen, and at the same time cover ana pro-
tect the engineer and fireman with their
Winchesters.
The party had two or three bad scares on
the trip. At one point in the mountains

CattIe Moving From the strIp.

Captain N1ichler asked Foreman Brum in
charge of the Tuttle herd when he was
going to take his stock out of the strip.
The reply WIS in the nature of prayer to
the captain beseechlng for time until cars

the move at once, either in cars or on the
trail.

from other roads to meet the demand. Tut

MONTREAL, August 16.-The most impor-
liant meeting of the Dominion cabinet waa
held in Montreal, which was the first tirns
that the cabinet has met outside of Ottawa
for many years, and the reason it was held
IN Montreal was that Premier John Abbott
- in poor health and wishes TO avoid the
fatigue of journey to Ottawa.
Sir John Abbott presided and all the min
listers, with tn exception of Secretary of
State Patterson, were present. Nearly the
whole of the session was occupied with the
consideration Of the matter of canal tolls
and what action should be taken by the
Canadian government to avoid retaliation
by the United States. The whole subject
was fully discussed and a decision was
reached before the conference closed.
The Associated Press representative
learned, however, on the best authority that
the government decided to make PROPOSE
ton to the United States government assur-
ing it that Canada was DESTROYS of having
most friendly relations and that in order to
avoid all difficulties, that the rebates on
grain passing through the st. Lawrence
canals would be Withdrawn at the end of the
present season of navigation. An effort Will
then be made to have conference between
the two governments so that ali differences
may be adjusted. The government Is anx-
ious to appease the United States govern
ment, and at the same time to act justly
toward the grain men who have made large
contracts for the present season on the basis
of present rebatrs.

Gresham vim Not Make speeches.

Judge Walter Q. Gresham and wife are at
Thompson, Conn Judge Gresham made a
statement to a reporter that he would deliver
no speeches during the campaign. He was
questioned concerning the statements given
the press recently by Chairman Taubeneck,
of the peoples party, at st. Louis TO the
effect that he had concluded to take the
stump in the interest of the third party, and
would make an opening speech at Indianapo-
lis the latter part of this month. The judge
said the statement was made without author
ity; that he should make no political speeches
during the campaign. The judge was asked
to give his views on the political situation,
but answered that he did not wish to discuss
the subject. When asked concerning the
truth of the statement in which Chairman
stoll claimed the Judge would take the stump,
Judge Gresham replied he had not known
MIR. Stoll and had no communication with
him. And that his first answer covered his
reply as to the contents of the Indianapolis
dispatch. He declined to discuss the plat
folm and principles of the peoples party.

made that unnecessary. Here the managers
are able to obtain close communication with
National headquarters, too, and that d a
thing of Importance.
The athletes of the city now see their way
clear to making ST. Louis a great athletic
center. The Pastimes will begin soon to lay
out their new grounds near the electric car
lines in the western part of the city, and
Chris Won der Abe, the baseball manager,
announces that his plans are ready for his
big ball park and athletic field, which he in
tends to have In condition for use next sea
son. Mr.. Won der Abe will try to have all
the games of the clubs which are not uuder
the Pastime management, held on has
grounds, and the result Will be livelier
competition IN matters athletic than the city
has seen for some time. The Pastimes have
no Sunday games, and that Is the point of
difference between them and the other athlet-
&c organizations of the city. MIR. Won der
Abe will open his grounds with a series OF
ball games early next season, and the Past
times will receive the public on their field
with contest that will bring athletes from
all over the country to St. Louis.
The admirers of Frank Z. Blair are anxi-
Gus that the ladies having charge OF the
woman's exhibit for Missouri at the Worlds
Fair shall make the statue they are to erect
| at the entrance of the State pavilion one OF
| that great MissOurian. The ladies have not
decided whose statue they will have there,
/ and they want to find out first what the peO-
pie of the State think about it. The statue
| will be of heroic size, and will be made by a
! St. Louis sculptor, either Robert Brlnghurst
or Fred Ruckstohl, probably. If the statue
! is to be Blair the sculptor will take him IN a
! pose different from the one in which he is
shown by the statue out at the entrance of
/ Forest Park.
The postal clerks of the United States
| seem to be fond of st. Louis. They are
! going to hold another convention here soon,
| and finish the work they began here two
years ago. They are trying to eliminate
/ politics entirely from the postal service, and
make the civil service rules apply to 1t from
/ top to bottom. The thing they are after
now Is to get all the clerks graded, so that
| those who are most efficient may get the best
| pay, without regard to their influence or
| party leaning. There will be about three
| hundred delegates at the convention.

Enrineers 1ndebted to swItchmen.

BUFFALO, N. Y, August 19.-That a strike
among the locomotive firemen is imminent
there is no doubt. The fremen are known to
be in hearty sympathy with the switchmen.
Should they strike it would have the imme-
diate effect of tying up any line on which the
strike was ordered. The engineers are also
in most hearty accord with the switchmen.
The brotherhood of locomotive engineers Is
under great obligations to the switchmen for
the position taken by them during the strike
on the Chicago, Burlington d Quincy, and ii
is possible that they would be willing to pay
the debt by assisting them at this crisis.
This thing is morally certain: If the fire
men strike the engineers will refuse to go
out with green fremen. Chief Arthur has
been sent for.

Breadstufrs, Except Wheat, Advanced
Pork and Coffee also.-ExpOrts Of Pro-
duce Lower, and If Prices Advance

NEW York, August 15.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Crop reports are not quite up to expecta-
tons, and are construed as Indicating def
cheney in the supply of corn and oats. while
any possible deficiency in wheat and cotton
will be more than met by the surplus stock
But prices are unchanged The great indus
tries are all doing well, excepting the iron
manufacturing industries. The iron output
TO August was 155, 136 tons weekly, against
169. 151 to July l, but the stocks unsold, new
ertheless, increased 16G00 tons during July,
and on August 1 exceeded million tons.
The southern pig iron is pressed for sale
and some quotations are lower than ever.
But the resumption of manufacture by the
Western Iron works, which settled their con-
troversies with the men, Will make a great
change in the situation, at once increasing
the output of pig iron, but probably demand
still more. Manufactured iron and steel
have been in active demand, nearly all the
works in operation being crowded with or
ders- But steel rails are dull as ever, while
only 70,OO9 tons have boon sold for the year
this far. Orders on hand will hardly carry
the eastern mills beyond September Is.
There Is no market worth mentioning for
coal. But IN the textile industry the utmost
activity prevails. Manufacturers are buying
wool freely. Boot and shoe men are still
ture of the week has been the rising of bread
stuffs, 2 cents on corn and g of cent on
oats, while wheat has declined g of a cent,
with sales of only $4,000, 900 bushels. The
western receipts were 4,930,0OO bushels IN
four days, and the Atlantic exports 2, sos, OOO
bushels. Pork advanced 70 cents per barrel
and coffee Il, but cotton fell Is, though the
exports are larger than year ago, the
crop reports grow more favorable. 1t should
not be forgotten that if the exports of pro-
ducts, which for two weeks have been 7.5t
per cent. lower at New York than last year,
should be restricted by the advances in prices
the overflow of gold would be likely to con-
tinue and before long to affect the specula-
tive market.
Imports continue extraordinarily large at
New York. For five weeks they have been
80 per cent. greater than last year.
The business failures the past week were
1S9 compared with 1S4 the previous week
For the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 227.

Lots of Cattle stili in the Strip.

GUTHRIE, o. IT,; August 18.-E. E. Starr,
treasurer Cherokee nation, has just returned
from an extensive tour over the strip in an
attempt to collect ''gEass money" from the
cattlemen. He submitted a written report
to Chief Harris, in which he names forty cat
tlemen who have cattle on the strip. The
total number of cattle grazing on the lands
he gives at $1,000. He gives the number of
sheep at 5000. Only three of the cattlemen
paid the grass tax, and they had very small
herds. The soldiers, he said, who had been
ordered to remove the intruding cattle from
the strip, are making no real enort to carry
out their instructions.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, August 1s.-The West
Shore men are out The Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg men have gone out, despite
the fact that their terms are acceded to.
The fremen are housing engines in the
roundhouses and all hands are idle in the
yards. There is no disturbance, but every
trainman seems determined on his course of
action. The strikers say this does not
measure the possible extent of the strike.
A police escort was sent out to bring in the
Lake Shore train. The switch tenders in
the Central passenger yard and the train
men are included in the strike. This means
that not a man in the Central employ as
switchman is at work.

nIassine Troops at BuffaIo.

BUFFALO, N. Y, August 19.-There is an
apparent desire upCn the part of the strikers
and their sympathizers to create trouble.
They appear to be doing everything in their
power to bring about a collision between
their forces and a part of the militia, and
are leading up to it gradually, in order to
throw the blame for the first outbreak upon
the militia.
Sentries are patrolling the yards on beats
eight to twelve feet apart; tents have been
ordered to the camp from Albany, and
everything indicates that the stay of the
soldiers will be long one.
