Yesterday morning all the Twin City
papers published an Associated Press
dispatch from San Francisco saving
that Elisha Moore had been seen: that
he had repudiated the notes bearing
his name and now afloat in Minneapolis,
and that he had said his son. George II.
Morse, must suffer the penalty of the
forgerics.
The authenticity of TINS information
is doubted in MINNEAPOLIS. Disinter-
ested persons still insist that misun-
derStanding exists somewhere, and that
when that misunderstanding is cleared
away, George A. Morse Will be vindi-
Gated. The assertion, often repeated,
that George A. Morse had for a long
time the authority to sign his fathers
name. is the basis of this claim. People
who know the young man best insist
that he is not the sort of man to COM
ciaily, as shown by his assignment to
George Dale, but he is not en-
barrassed to the extent of $4,000.
He has never had bad habits. He
has never gamDled, so far as can be
learned. What could he have done
with the money realized on this alleged
forged paper? The follo~ing from
Henry Hill expresses the views of a
large number of people:
Il desire to say that a great injustice
is being done to George A. Morse by
some OF our ell ZFnS and some of our
daily papers. / t;.y.- Enown George A.
Morse well aud i"N,Eaplv for some
years, have had large financial lransac-
tons with him, and, from my 81, ripnce
with him and from my know, of his
character, am firmly of the opinion
that he is not guilty of forgery or any
other dishonesty. | might further state
that L am an entirely disinterested
party, as neither myself nor the bank
of Hill, Sons d Co. hold any paper made
or Endorsed by either George A. Morse
or his father. | know of at least
one piece of paper regarding which
Elisha Morse has made contradicting
statements. the first by telegram ana the
second by letter. In view of this fact,
and III view Of my knowledge of the
character Of George A. Morse, l cannot
refrain from stating my firm conviction
OF his innocence of all dishonesty, and
suggesting that it is but common fair
ness to presume him not guilty until the
contrary is proved. | understand that
Elisha Morse is and for some time past
has been unwell; he is at present alb
sent from Minneapolis, and in view of
this fact and of the contradictory state
mentS which he has apparently made, it
seems to me that George A. Morse
should certainly have the benefit of the
reasonable doubt"
The most suspicious fact in connec-
ton with the case is this: That some
of the paper now questioned was
offered at such a big discount as 10 or 20
per cent.

GRAIN MEN MAD.
They say the Milwaukee Road L

They Say the Milwaukee Road Is
Trying to "Do Up" minneapolis.
The Minneapolis chamber of COM
MERGE may bring another dScrmina-
zion case to The attention of the inter
state commerce commission. The Mil
waukee road is the offender. Il is
claimed that the Milwaukee is dlscrim-
mating against Minneapolis IN the mat
ter of cars for wheat shipments, while
shippers desiring cars for wheat destined
for Milwaukee, Chicago or Duluth are
getting all the cars they want. The
Milwaukee is SAID to have begun this
discrimination all along its branches
southwest of Minneapolis some
time ago. For a few days there
was let-up but the trouble again be-
gan ten days ago and has been harder
ever since. On Nov. % dispatch was
sent from Sioux City addressed to ''alI
agents." which said:
Stop shipments OF wheat to Mime
apolis until further notice. Explain to
shippers that it is coming into Mime
apoliS so fast that we can not handle it,"
&.
Nearly all the firms in the chamber
of commerce say that they have letters
from scores of correspondents complain
ing OF the shortage of cars for wheat
shipments to Minneapolis, and stating
that they can get all the cars they want
for Chicago, Milwaukee or Duluth.
These letters come from points which
are from 100 to 300 miles nearer to Min
neapOlis than to either of the other
cities. The Milwaukee's claim that
wheat is coming to Minneapolis too fast
10 be handled does not appear to be very
sound. The officials of the Terminal
Dispatch association say that they are
having no difficulty In unloading all the
wheat coming to the city.
The Milwaukee has several large ele-
vatorS on its own lines here in the city.
Not more than Une-halt of the Mil
waukee's storage capacity in Minneapo-
lis has yet been exhausted, so lack of
facilities for unloading cannot be the
real reason for the shortage in cars for
Minneapolis wheat along the line of the
Milwaukee. The country shippers say
that they can get all the Milwaukee cars
they want to snip oats or corn to Min
neapoliS, but they cannot get cars for
wheat.
One reason alleged is that the Mil
waukee wants to compel shippers TO
send their wheat farther than to Mime
apOlis. the road thereby getting the
benefit of the rate for the longer haul.
The elevator companies, it is said. are
getting all the Milwaukee cars they
need.and this leads some to say that the
Milwaukee is trying to freeze out the
dependent buyers in favor of the ele-
vator companies. Still another reason
advanced is that the Milwaukee road is
really trying to injure Minneapolis. TO
support this theory q milwaukee road
official is quoted as saying that he
would six Minneapolis take from
her her wheat market.
The gram men are also complaining
against one Of the practices of the Great
Northern. This road has made it rule
to take only limited number of cars
daily for the elevators on its tracks. If
a car is ordered to the Great Northern
line little late it lays over one day, and
The owner of the wheat is charged 50
demurrage.

FOREIGN MAILS.
Their Extent and Cost During the
Last Fiscal Year.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The annual
report of Capt. N. NJ. Brooks. the super
intendent of foreign mails. shows that
during the fiscal year ended june 80,
1892, there were dispatched by
sea to foreign countries $685.
Ais pounds of mail matter, of
which S12,62S pounds were letters and
postal cards; 1852 per cent of the let
tiers and postal cards and 1856 per cent
of other articles were for transatlantic
destinations. OF the letters and postal
cards, Great Britain received 3S.54 per
cent OF the other classes of
mails, Great Britain received 4S. Is
per cent of the whole: Germany 20:79
per cent and France S1:3l per cent. In
the transatlantic outgoing service the
increase for the year was 4.525 pounds
of letters and postal cards, and of other
articles 254, 433 pounds.
The actual net cost of our foreign
service is shown to have been $500, l45.
The aggregate amount estimated as
necessary for the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1893, is given as Sl,S75.000. The
number of articles sent to foreign coun-
tries during the year is shown to have
exceeded the number received during

ject of sea postOffices Supt. Brooks says
In part:
During the 127 trips from New York
7,133, 452 letters and post cards were dis
tributed during 9,S16 working hours, an
average of 81, 1859 articles per average
trip of n hours, and during the 226 trips
from Germany IL, 19S, 534 letters and post
cards were distributed, IAN average of &c.
79Sarticles per average trip ofS915 hours.
In addition the contents of 6,795 sacks
of printed matter were distributed on
the trips from New York. an average
of 81 sacks per trip; and the contents
of 1896 sacks OH the trip from Ger
many, all average of 81 sacks per trip;
but no record is made of articles
other than letters and post cards,
and consequently the number of
articles contained in these 1860 sacks
cannot be stated. After an experience
of fifteen months. it may safely be SAID
that the sea postottice service has real
lied all legitimate expectations respect
ing the advantage, in point of expedi-
ton of delivery of articles, to be secured
by the distribution of the mails in sea

The Union Depot Damage.

The work of repairing the damage
done by fire to the roof and ceilings of
the union depot has already begun. 1t
was estimated yesterday that the actual
loss would not be over $4,000, though it
would cost the company considerable
more to make the repairs. The fire was
due to defective wiring. Had the depot
electrician possessed a wlre-testing
machine the blaze would have been
averted from the fact that he could
then have ascertained were the wires
had become grounded. The city cleo
trician, Mir. Deming, notified the depot
superintendent several months ago to
secure testing machine, but it appears
he neglected to do so.

not only sacks, barrels and even flour,
but costly appliances used in the manu-
facture of the life-giving material. Sew.
eral days ago six copper wheat steamers,
valued at $50 each were stolen from the
warehouse of the Consolidated Milling
company. Yesterday one of the mill
watchmen caught young fellow max
ing off with two of the steamers in a

turned him over to the officers who ac-
companied the central station patrol
wagon. When the young fellow was

ing steamers were found, and the police
are looking for young MOTIFS accom-
plices.
