STURGESS-.FARWELL.
Spirited Spatting Between Attorney Nc
Carthy and the Merchant Prince.

CHICAGO, April 17-Tbe hearing in the
case of Sturgess VS. Farwell & Co.. was re-
sumed today with J. V. Farwell still on
the witness stand.
The mention of the supposed disappear
ance of s51, 900 bonds Of the first one hun
dred of debentures in letter from MT.
Sturgess, WAS the basis of query q by At
torney Mccarthy in which he asked
whether these bonds were got out of the
way by Farwel company.
THE question is ridiculous, for it infers
that we had stolen the bonds" answered.
Mr.. Tarwell. eff we had stolen any OF the
bonds we should have been arrested before

II hardly think So" Mr.. Mccarthy re-
torted, .'you seem to have been pretty fer
tuna;e thus far"
To finish the cross-examinat;on OF Mr..
Farwell required the time of the entire
afternoon session. The inquiry became a
little breezy when Attorney Mccarthy
asked about the suits which Sturgess in
stituted aud received an answer not 10 his
liking
How many suits had Sturges COM
menced in 1872"

then admitted that be could not. They

planned.

LIVELY RATE WAR.
Prospects for Control TO Extend Across
the Continent.

CHICAGO, April 17.-Every indicate on
points to a lively war in west bound rates
within a week, The row will start over
The emigrant question and can hardly be
prevented from involving regular rates as
we'll. The Western Passenger association
lines have made up their minds that moth
ing can be obtained from the Union Pa
:ifc without fight and they are now pre-
pairing to go in for ii. There is a proba-
bility that emigrant rates will be cut
within day or two and cut deeply. The
Burlington, Rock Island and Atchison
will besr the brunt of the fight against
he Union Pacific.
NEW YORK, April 17-If the Union Pa.
.iic remains firm in its refusal TO accept
he divisions of the western pool a war of
rates is expected that will involve all class
IS of traffic on the continent. The West
srn Passenger association people say that
Tor several months they have been endeav-
oring to place the passenger bushes. on a
firm basis, but the Union Pacific
has stood out because it could
not bsve major part of the
California emigrant business. Just now
Things are quiet bur a fierce rate war is
looked for. The presidents of the Trunk
Line association are much disturbed, and
meeting has been called for next week.

THE CALF ROPE.
Managers of the Great Northern Call for
a Conference With Labor Leaders.

ST PAUL, April 17-The end of the
fourth day since the American Railway
union declared a strike on the Great
Northern finds the strike extended all
over the line of the company except short
distance from this city, and of the 4, 495
miles of the system not to exceed 200
miles are in operation tonight. This has
been accomplished thus far without any
thing threatening bloodshed and the men
say there is no danger OF any trouble.
They are determined, however. and will
allow no trains to be made up or to be
moved.
The situation in this city tonight is I'M
changed. Neither the company nor the
men admit having made any overUures
looking towards settlement and no one
knows which will ask for a conference. A
report is current that the company
has asked one tonight, but it cannot he
verified. One of the officials of the COM
pany said they had offers of more men
than they needed, many times over, but
they were in no hurry to fill the strikers
pisces. He added: 1.-The men think they
can strike back and we think we can do
the same thing ourselves"
Arthur Morrissey and several chairmen
of the brother hood commissioners today
decided not to recognize the A. X. L. in
Hny way. The brotherhood men who are
cut with the new organization are receiv-
ing sdvices from the various divisions that
the strike has not been sentenced by the
lodges.
A Helena special says: A telegram from
General Manager Case of the Great North
srn asks the men to send representatives to
St. Paul with full authority to settle mat
tars under the laws of the American Rail-
way union. The men replied this morning
that Eugene Debs and George Howard,
now in St. Paul, are authorized to act for
the union.

Sir CORVALLIS Harris. an English
hunter in South Africa, saws tnat the
zebra is much fieeter of foot than the
antelope. Seeking the widest and
most sequestered spots in troops. the
animals are under the special charge
of sentinel, so posted on an adjacent
crag as to command view of every
avenue OF approach. No sooner has
the note OF alarm been sounded by the
sentinel, than the whole flock hurry
forward to ascertain the nature of the
danger, and, having gazed moment
at the advancing hunter, away they
thunder down craggy precipices and
over yawning ravines, where no hu-
man foot could dare follow them. To
creep near enough to shoot even the
sentinel requires hours OF careful ap-
proach, and 1t is only by hunting in
numbers and driving the zebras down
on tie plains that they are ever slain
or captured For domestic purposes
they are useless, as no zebra has We,
been tamed.-Golden DAYS

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, April 17.-EXcitement
is growing rapidly as also is the American
Railway union membership. Contrary TO
expectation the train from the west at S:oO
o'clock this afternoon was cut by the
strikers, but under protection the brake
men promptly recoupled the cars and the
train went through the yards without
further disturbance. This experience,
however, made the strikers very
bitter and they decided not to
let it occur again, so when the
Willmar train arrived from st. Paul at
$40 tonight the strikers made no attempt
10 touch it at the depot, but after 1t start
ed a switch was turned and the train run
on siding already occupied by some box
cars, narrowly escaping a collision. The
strikers then broke up the train and scat
tered the cars around the yards, the pas
sengers being returned to the station. The
mail and baggage cars were untouched.
The dispatcbers in the Office here have

WASHINGTON. April 17.-Auother inter-
national monetary conference this time,
perhaps to be held in the City of Mexico.
is among the probabilities. The Mexican
government, through its diplomatic repre-
sentaiives, is quietly pressing upon the
attention of the powers the feasibility OF
again undertaking adjustment of the
monetary question, and the time is be-
lieved ripe for further effort IN that direc-
ton.
Minister Romero has already suggested
the matter to our government in a way
that does not at this moment require "a
direct response and the president is con-
sidering it carefully for undoubtedly the
success of the undertaking will depend in
large measure upon the support of the
United State The adhesion of Great
Britain too is of the first Importance, and
the report that she will limit her co-opera-
ton To the representation of India hardly
realizes the hopes of projectors of the con-
ference, though 1t may not operate TO de-
feat the meeting.
