CHICAGO special: It il estimated
that the combined loss OF the various
roads centorinR In the city, caused by
the strike will amount to over %, OOO,-
coo. This loss, It il claimed, Is caused
by decrease in earnings from traffic
alone and does not include the loss
caused by destruction Of property,
which will foot up about 1900, OOO
more. Some OF the loss, however, Is
Offset by large saving In expenses, yet
the loss to the roads, both on account
Of loss OF traffic aud destruction OF
property by the Chicago roads alone,
It ~ believed, will not be less than
100000. Railroad managers all
agree, however, that the object
gained vas we'll worth the investment.
As . thunderstorm clears the at
mOsphere 20 the strike, they think,
ri the final convulsiOn that will
bring about . better condition In bust
ess Afairs and end the stagnati0n
that has existed for more than q year
past. All the railroads look for q re-
yival Of business in the near future
snd expect = large traffic movement
In the fall. The uncertainty Ms re-
CARDS the outcome Of the labor agita-
ton that has been going ON for some
time past, railroad officials think, has
nov been removed, and strikes are
not likely to be inaugurated again for
SOME time to come. The trouble has
also had the effect Of uniting the rail-
roads closely, and 1t Is believed
thst owing to their desire to repair
the losses caused by the strike, rates
will be mcr firmly maintained than
heretofore.
MINNEAPOLIS special: The recruit
ing station for the department Of Da-
kotA has been doing very little bust
ness OF late. the desire to be q soldier
and march to glory seeming to have
grextly subsided since the strike was
inaugurated. The number OF applica-
tions received each month ranges all
the way from thirty to forty up to
seventy and sometimes over 100,
while thus far In July only eleven ap-
plicatiOns have been received from
candidates who would shoulder q
musket for the next five yeara None
Of these, however, we're able to pass
the physical examination, which is de-
cidedly strict. Capt. Pierce states
the business is rather dull, but the
army is so nearly full that men are
hot In very great demand. In the
month OF May twenty men were &C.
cepted, and In June thirteen, nearly
three times that number being ex-
amined. Men are discharged II the
slightest defect is found in their ply
steal makeup, bunions, bad teeth and
defective vision being three bad
stumbling blocks. Recruits are sent
from Minneapolis to the station in st.
Paul, where they are provided with
transportation and shipped to points
In the west for training and active
service.

Hennepin Canal Is progressing rapidly
