Who Says the Understanding
is Correct.

MERCHANTS HOTEL, ST.. PAUL, April
l6.--To {. w. Case, Esq, general man
ager of Great Northern railway, st. Paul,
Minn.-Dear sir: We willingly comply
with your suggestion that we make our
understanding Of the relations between
our organizations and your company
matter of record. 1t has been customary
to arrange schedules Of rules and rates
of pay in conferences between represent
atives of the men and of the company.
In March the company inV Vited such con
ference and proposed IA new schedule
carrying with it reductions in pay. The
representatives of the men did not feel
justified in accepting the same and left
the conference with the understanding
that the PROPOSITION as modified would
be submittci To the men. they by their
votes to decide the question of its ac
ceptance or rejection. The officers Of the
company were assured that they would
be advised Of the result of the vote. 1t
was mutually agreed that whatever
might b. agreed upon AS new schedule
should be effective April lst under this
agreement We understood that until
some agreement was reached or some
new schedule was inaugurated on ac-
count of the rejection of the company's
proposition by the men the proposed
schedule would not be operative but the
old one would continue until new one
was decided upon which would be effect
i've April lst. That this was the under
standing had 10y Mr. Case is evidenced
by our interview this morning. The
vote Of the men in accordance with the
laws of our organizations and the clear
agreement between the legal represent
atives of the men and the general man
ager had not been completed when every
thing was interrupted by the present
trouble in which our organizations have
no part, we repeat that it will receive no
recognition or support whatever from us
or from the organizations we represent.

"Men try in every way possible" said
a prominent bank president, ito obtain
the signatures of New York bankers.
Their object is evidently to use them
in committing forgeries. At least we
suspect so, and for that reason try to be
as careful as possible in signing letters.
I'm this bank we have many letters
from the west of such trivial nature
that we suspect an ulterior motive upon
the part of the writers, and if we answer
them at all do so by typewriter, even to
the signature.
"One forger or counterfeiter i'll lndi-
ana is exceedingly systematic and per
sistent in his efforts to obtain the sigma
lures of our officers. AS regularly as
the year comes around he writes, Inclos-
ing so bill, and requests us to send
him one Of our new $40 bank notes in
exchange.
"He always gives the same reason for
the request-that he wants it for his col
lection Of course that is nonsense. We
believe that he wants new bill 50 that
he may discover if we have changed our
officers and get their signatures.
"He never does get them though. We
always return his bill with a typewrit-
ten letter on paper containing no names,
excusing ourselves on the ground that
we have no circulation outstanding" y

two promises by Downing to pay 500
and 500 subscriptions to the fund for

Falls. Downing admitted signing the
subscription list, but claimed that be-
fore any corporation was formed or any
liability incurred on account of the
opera house, he revoked and rescnded
his subscription; and that prior to sign.

house and his subscription WAS for such
building but that without his knowl-

in the character of the company and

there was no evidence to prove that
Downing revoked his subscription be-

Due Ia Exorbitant Charges.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-United States
Consul James Tremske, at Callao. Peru
says the small amount Of trade between
the United States and the west coast OF
South America is due to inadequate
means of transportation. A young
American travelling from Valparaiso,
Chill, to New York via the Isthmus, said
he could have gone from Valparaiso to
Buenos Ayres. thence to Europe and
then to the United States for Sl5 more.
That is, he could travel 1900 miles on
the Atlantic against 4,6Oe on the Pacific
for SO more. The consul shows that
this is brought about by bad connections
and exorbitant charges and suggests the
establishment Of fast lines from New
Orleans and New York to Colon, and
also to the west coast Of South America
which would secure the larger trade tC
the United States merchants.

Watching the Strike.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE postofiice
officials are watching with great interest
the strike on the Great Northern rail
way, owing to its serious effect on the
Transmission of mails. There are few
connections from other lines to points on
the Great Northern, and efforts are
being made by the department to carry
mails to and from these places. The
establishment of temporary mail service
etween such of these points as are ac-
cesslble has been ordered, The exten-
sion of the strike to Seattle has resulted
in a temporary steamboat service be-
tween New Whatcom and Seattle.
