Everything Opening Up in
the n. p. Yards at
Little Falls.
Switch Engine Comes Down
From Brainerd 49, L.
F. sd. Running.

The railroad strike at Little Falls
is practically thing of the past and
the yards around the depot have be-
gun to assume a much livelier ap-
pearance than for some days.
The switchmen reported for work
yesterday and as soon as the engine
arrived from Brainerd this morning
: they went to work. James Gimblet
reported for work at his old job
with the switching crew but was in
formed that the company no longer
desired his services as he had been a
labor agitator ard would therefore
not he allowed to resume his Old
position. No one has been put in his
place yet and he hopes that the su-
perintendent may yet change his
mind He has been quiet and or
derly as far as the writer knows, but
the company seems to be in possess
sion of some information that war
rants the statement that Mr.. Gimblet
has beeh an agitatOr.
Engineer Otes brought down the
switch engine this morning and it is
said with ''scah" fireman. The re-
gular switch engineer took the L. F.
& D. out yesterday and took his en-
CINE here this afternoon. The re-
gular fireman has not been in his old
place vet, but it is hoped he will get
it soon.
Considerable freight was brought
down from Brainerd this morning
for the east and was transferred by
Mr.. Victor, who is again at his post.
Night Baggageman Guin went TO
work last night, and it is said
another of the freight men will re-
turn to work as soon as the freight
trains begin running.
Agent Mann, who has worked
hard during the strike, in handling
baggage, selling tickets, ETC., said
to-day when the switch engine COM
menced running, that he felt AS if he
had been away from home for two
weeks and had Just returned.
The planning mill started up this
morningas the company now feel
that there is some show OF their
making shipments soon. Theswitch-
ing crew set in cars for them and the
loading crews also went to work.
1t will not be necessary now for
the HennepiE Paper company to
haul their paper to the depot as cars
were set in today and it looks as ii
the war is over.
Messrs. Caw]ey and Hyde OF the
Interstate Milling company are feel
ing unusually gay over the prospect
now that the switching crew are
back at work and the l.. F. & D.
trains are running. No more haul.
ing -four to Brainerd by team.
No attempt has been made as yet
to run freight train over the line,
but the railroad official feel certain
that it will he only a few days before
regular traffic will be resumed. The
sending of the switch engine down
from Brainerd would certainly indi.
cate that regular freights will be
running within day or two.

Kendrick of the N. p. Says
the Road Will Not
Retain Labor Agi-
tatOrs.
The Men Who Have Been
Active in Urging the
Strike Will Lose
Their Places.

ager Kendrick, of the Northern Pacif-
ic,. made a statement to Hon. H. G..
StiverS, of the Brainerd Journal, re-
garding the strike and it's results.
The statement is very interesting
one. and we publish part Of it. Mr..
Kenlrick said:
1.-The N. z. company owns half
interest in the Pullman sleeping cars
run ON it's road. and the other half,
owned by the Pullman company, is
covered by contract entered into
by the N. P. company to run these
cars on it's line. The demand was
made upon the N. p. company that
it boycott this portion of it's own
rolling stock, and annul a contract
which it had no power to annul.
This demand was entirely unreasOn-
able, and compliance with it was i'm
possible; yet the strike was based
upon it, and the employees went out
and caused tremendous losses to
this company. We found also that
the policy that had been uniformly
followed by the company of granting
all possible concessions to it's en-
plOyes, recognizing and even encour-
aging their labor unions, resulted in
conditions of especial hardship being
placed upon us. The roads that had
fought the unions, and had in their
employ nOn-union men. were able
when the strike was at it's worst to
do some business, because the non
union men remained 1T work, while
the Northern Pacific and two or
three other companies that had been
foremost in trying to keep the men
satisfied were completely tied up and
suffered the consequences of an entire
business prostratiOn. Our kindness
was thus rewarded with extraordi-
nary persecution, and you may rest
assured that we realize these unjust
conditions fully. You may also de-
pend upon it that henceforth the
Northern Pacific road will be oper-
ated by the Northern Pacific railroad
company. or by men lawfully author
lied to act for it, and not by any
grievance committee without a. grew
lance. There will be no concession
granted in this matter, no matter
how long the strike lasts, or what
the consequences are. The men who
without just cause are disposed to
destroy the business Of this company
and to smother the honest sen timent
of the communities on our line OF
road by means of the boycott. art
not wanted, and hereafter we will
not have them in our employ. I an
also glad to know that a large ma
jority of our employees at Brainerf
and elsewhere do not belong to that
class. Very many of them have gone
into this strike against their OWL
will and without the approval o
their own Judgment, because sur
rounded by such influences and con
ditions that they could not see thei
way clear to do, anything else. Many
others have done SO on the impuls

for consideration. We have nothin:

Armstrong the names of all of the mec
connected with the outrage committed
in Colorado Springs few weeks ago.
Wilson was brought back to Denver
by Officer Cross and placed In the city
jail. On the train going to Colorado
Springs he told everything he knew Of
the affair. In his story of the expert
ences of the eventful night the names
OF Sheriff Bowers, Deputy Sheriff Bob
Mullins, and Can't. SaxtoR, of the
Colorado Springs military company,
were often mentioned. He confirmed
the story that murderer out OF the

radios Adjutant G neral Every detail
of the tar and feathers affair is now in
possession of the Denver officers, and
however high a position the offender
may hold they will ultimately be
brought to Justice. Wilson's confes-
SIGN clearly illustrates that the crime
was committed by the political enemies
of Gen. Tarsney and that the criminals
were not the outcasts of the Bull Hill
army, but men of higher standing in
the community.

NOTES MAY BE TAXED
UNITED STATES LEGAL TEN
DERS NO LONGER EXEMPT.
Grecnbacks and National Bank Issues
Subjected to Taxation by State Oni-
cials-siver Certificates Included In the
Bill.


The only financial legislation accom-
plished by this Congress, except the
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act and the passage OF the
seigniorage bill, which received the
Presidential veto, is the bill to subject
to State taxation national bank notes
and United States treasury notes,
which has passed the House with Sem
ate amendments.
Attempts have been made in nearly
every Congress since the war to sub
ject these forms of money to taxation.
The bill provides that circulating
notes of national banking associations
and United States legal-tender notes,
and other notes and certificates OF the
United States payable on demand and
circulating or intended to circulate as
currency, shall not be exempt from
taxation under the laws of any State
or Territory, provided that taxation
is exc. cised at the same rate and in
the same manner as upon other prop
erty or money.
The thr5e o acts authorizing the issu-
ance of greenbacks each put in circu-
lation $4,000 900, but the total amount
was afterward reduc ed to $3l6, 100, U0J-
a figure that has rem iined permar eut,
although much of the money has been
lost or destroyed. Each issuing act
declared the greenback, exempt from
taxation by State or municipal authori-
ties, as we'll as all other obligations OF
the United States, and under this law
are the Sherman nstes fer the pur-
chase of bullion of Slt0, 900, which
were issued under the act of 1880
There are in round numbers $500 000,-
900 OF United States notes exempt from
taxation.
Against the bill it was argued that
it was an infringement nron the SOW
ereignty OF the General Government
to permit State and municipal authori-
ties to tax its monetary issues, but, on
the other hand, it was pointed out that
the States Were not permitted to dis
criminate against any forms of money,
and that these greenbacks should be
placed on the same basis as gold and
silver.

CHARLES DENNY JR sos "a one of the
brightest. best-natured students in
college. In 1885 when the elder DENLY
received his appointment as Minister
to China the young man was Just out
of college and expected to follow his
fathers career and become a lawyer.
The chance to go to China as Secretary
of the Legation proved too great a
temptation. Young DENLY went into
voluntary exile and has not been home
once in the nine years of his service.
Friends who have visited the lega-
tion at fekin say that the sudden re-
sronsibility thrust upon the United
State, legation will be in good hands.
They say that the present charge
d'affaires has learned to speak the
Chinese language fuently, is on par
ticularly good terms with Ii Hung
Chang, and that his long experience at
the post qualifie5 him for almost any
diplomatic emergency that may arise.
A touch of romance has been added
to the situation by the recent an
nouncement of the secretary's engage
ment to Miss Martha Orr OF Evans
vile, Ind, the former home OF the
Denbys. Although they had k own
each other for years, the young peo-
pc had seen very little OF each
other until this summer, when Miss
Orr visited Pekin as one of party
trave ling with the Hon. John w.

Orr is beautiful, has Travelled great
deal and IS wealthy. The wedding
was to have taken place this fall, but

difficulty continues much longer.

Corn Sixty Cents.


There was almost q panic on the
Chicago Board Of Trade on Tuesday
morning, as corn and wheat went soar
ing. At last, says a Chicago corre-
spondent, the profe ssional traders have
come to the conclusion that the faym-
ers know at least little something re-
garding the condition of their crops,
and they are climbing over each other
in their eagerness to get in line in the
procession
When the trading closed Monday
night, September corn stood at 53s
cents and May closed ct 40 cents. Rain
was predicted for the corn bet, and
the traders went hcme feeling that the
worst was over and that there would
soon be a collapse. The feeling disap-
peared in the morning, Wen T. was
found that no rain had fallen, and that
all appearances pointed to a continu-
ance OF the DIR, ught.
No sooner had the trading opened,
therefore, than the corn pit became a
scene rivaling Bedlam. So eager were
the brokers to he in the hunt that
offers ra lging all tho way from 54s to
90 Genus lOr otptcuDcr were IndQ6 du
the anne time. Within five minutes the
price had been pushed to 81 cents, and
Still the demand from the shorts ap-
peared unsatisfied. Hundreds of thou
sands OF bu hels were sold at the top
figure and at the different notches
down to So. So rapid was the 1 ise
that, one broker said, one OF his GUS
toners, with only a small line of corn
sold at over 90 cent?, had lost cool
$4,000 in the first five minutes of the
market.
Either corn is too high or wheat is
too low Is the propo sition which is be
ing laid down In all quarters, and the
course OF the market Monday con-
vinced the people who teel that the
cereals are at prese 1t on an abnormal

OF No. white oats at prices which

A Kansas City firm reports having
sold No. hard winter at 52ic at the
Mississippi, with corresponding grade
of corn at sic. If all grain is to get
down to a feeding basis the extra 4
pounds in wheat bushel will cut no
inconsiderable figure. Corn, cats, and
wheat are all now selling on the
market at prices which represent
about $1S ton. To sell on exactly
this basis the respective quotations
would stand 5l.2c, 28.8c, and sac re-
spectively. Wheat to-day is consider
ably cheaper per ton than the coarse
grains. Just whore the disparity
between the corn and wheat prices lie
is, Of course, where the difference OF
opinion comes in. There are any
amount OF people who still in
sist that good rain would break
the back OF the corn market, who think
that the weather noted is not essenti-
ally different from year ago, and who
look for good average crop in face Of
past reports. Those who assume that
serious corn damage has been done and
can scarcely give Il gical reason why
wheat should be going at the lowest
prices ever known. Any general use

will introduce an element which will
upset all previous calculations as to de-
mand and supply. Wheat feeding has
passed out OF the experimental stages
in many sections. A corn famine and
consequent consumption of lower
grades of wheat might temporarily
take the United States out of the list
of wheat exporting countries.
Little Old Corn on Hand.
The poor crops OF the last two years
have reduced the amount of old corn

has led many board members to sell
wheat and to invest in May corn, an
almost unprecedented proceeding. The

grain now compared with those OF a
year ago. The closing prices of ca h

York, Chicago, and st Louis were:
