DIR. DEPEw CATCHES THE PARIS.
He Arrived on the Run and Bounded
Aboard with Two Nieces in Tow.

He Arrived on the Run and Bounded
Aboard with Two Nieces in Tow.
From the New York Sun.
The man who looks like Dr. Chauncey
NJ Depew was down at the American
lines pier, at the foot of Fulton street,
yesterday morning half an hour earlier
than the doctor himself, presumably to
study the attitudes and mannersms of the
great post-prandial orator. The man APP
peared to enjoy the sensation of being
mistaken for the doctor. He beamed on
several persons who greeted him as MIR.
Depew" and said he was really not going
to sail on the Paris, but the St. Louis,
which will leave this port on next We'd
nesday. The rumor spread over the ship
that DR.. Depew wasn't going to sail, as
he preferred to go on an outgoing Yankee
vessel rather than naturalized one.
The rumor was dispelled about five min
utes before the Paris got under way by
the sudden appearance of the only gen
uine DIR. Depew. He had a valise in one
hand and a steamer chair, which he had
bought at the head of the pier, in the
other. He sprinted down the pier like
belated express on the New York Central
waving valise and steamer chair and shout
ing: Hold the ship" or words to that
effect. His colored servant, who followed
him and also had a valise and steamer
chair, initiated with the faithfulness of a
shadow his masters gestures. Several of
the doctors nieces were waiting for him at
the gang plank. He kissed them on the
fly. AS he bounded up the plank one of
them grabbed his coat tails another one
grabbed the first, and he towed them all
aboard amid the plaudits of hundreds on
the pier and ship. The man who looked
like the doctor saw it all and doubtless
thought it would be pretty hard to dupli-
| cate.
Just before the Paris started the doctor
made a few comments on things political
He advised Mayor Strong to stop drinking
tea, and said he thought the next presi-
dent would be a republican from this
state. The doctor is going to see the
/ Prince of Wales and other distinguished
I Englishmen during his trip abroad, which.
he thinks, will not last more than three
| or four weeks.

TROUBLE BHEwISG


Over tho ono Fare Rato AIade by tho 500
TO New York.
Chicago, August 1.-The trouble over
tho one fare rate made by the 500 line
Tor the Total Abstinence meeting in
New York, has broken out in a new
place and the chances are now bright
Tor all sorts Of .roabIe. Yesterday the
western lines asked their eastern con
nections to assist them in making ono
faro rate TO meet the tariff put In by the
500, but they wero refused. To-day tho
Wisconsin Central announced that it
would make one fare rate anyhow. and
in short time aitOr 1t had declared
itself the Grand Trunk said it would
stand its share OF the reduction and the
two roads together will meet tho QUO
faro made by the 500.
Its difficult to SEQ how the lines in
the Central Traffic Association can now
avoid taking action similar to that OF
tho Grand Trunk. No action was taken
to-day, but something is looked for by
Tomorrow. 1t is a foregone conclusion
that the balance OF the ST. PAul.MinnO.
apoliI and Chicago lines will meet the
cut made by the Wisconsin Central.
