Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-S. F.
.Snively, of Duluth, arrived today to
help push the Altamonte bill. Maj.

York for a day or two. He will pay
his respects to the president tomor-
row morning Melvin Grigsby, Sioux
Falls, is here on his way to New

Maj. Baldwin scored a great VIC
tory in the house today in passing
the bill pensioning Gen. Harrison G..
Hobart. This bill was severely
fought in committee and in the
house, but the major made a strong
speech, on which he carried a sus-
pension of the rules and passed the
bill. Gen. Hobart was a pension
comrade of the major.

1T is HIS OWN CHOICE.
Gen. Bishop VIII Not be Requested
to Resign as Trust Manager.

In the article in yesterday morn
ing's GLOBE with reference to the
retirement of Gen. j. W. Bishop from
the management of the ST. Paul Trust
company, it was stated that Gen.
Bishop would be requested to resign
This was an error, as it has been
learned since on good authority that
Gen. Bishop is to retire as a matter OF
choice. The GLOBE, therefore, was
evidently misinformed in the first in
stance. There was no intention to do
Gen. Bishop any injustice, however,
or to publish anything other than the
truth. The following letter from D.
R. Noyes explains the matter more
fully:
To the Editor of the Globe.
My attention has been called to an
article in your paper of this date re-
garding the st. Paul Trust company,
and an expression is desired of me re-
garding it's correctness. I should have
preferred to have said to you direct
what 1 have to say. Still, very will
ingly say it to you and all, that l
think your article somewhat unfair to
Gen. Bishop and the mana cement of
the company. 1 know of no "com>
of no such matter coming before 1.-The
board" [ do know that Gen. Bishop
has been speaking of resigning for
more than year past, and that it is
no secret that he has advised the
board that he will not be a candidate
for reelection at the annual meeting.
That there have been attacks upon
the company and it's management
every one knows, but they have been
attributed to malice, ignorance and in
terest, and rightly so, 1 think. Any
trust company which can show such
q a hn Do
pany, or which during the recent panic
could pay out on demand between
100000 and 100000 in partial settles
ment OF an estate, is entitled not only
to confidence, but commentator.
Gen. Bishops connection with the
company has been long and honorable,
and no more honest management will
ever be secured for the trust. 1t win
be hard to IND one as competent. I am
sure that you would not willingly do
him or the company any wrong.
GEN. BISHOP TALKS.
Gen. Bishop said to a GLOBE re-
porter last night that he had intended
to retire at the end of his term of
office in May, and to give the board
of directors a chance to select with due
care some one to take his place, he
notified the executive committee about
a month ago. AS for the man who
is to be selected, no one has any as
aurance, as yet, and nobody has any
authority to say that the position has
been offered to any one. Gen. Bishop
intends to retain his interest in the
company and will take hand in the
selection himself. AS for the state
ment that the depositors were dissat-
fsfied, he said the company has no de-
1nand depositors. All its deposits are
accepted only on condition that they
remain at least year, and none of
this class even has been accepted for
some time past,as the company could
not use the money SO as to make the
four per cent interest.

the Canadian differentials. An effort
is being made to have representatives

If the railroad lobby is as cum
ming as it is credited with being, it
will at once proceed to call off the
pestiferous journalistic leeches and
tainted professional lobbyists who
are making the silly plea that the
passage of the Anderson taxation
bill will abolish the gross earnings
tax. If the people need anything to
convince them Of the righteousness
of the bill it is the opposition of
such mOnopoly-fed barnicles, such
hungry blackmailers and political
Hessians as the half-doZen heelers
and the two or three imitation news
papers engaged III the attempt to
defeat the bill. The bill itself pro-
VideS that ii shall not be of force
or effect if it is construed to inter
fere with the gross earnings tax. If
the railroads expect to defeat the
bill they had better take the few
dollars they are throwing into
worthless and irresponsible news
papers and invest it in a straight
purchase of votes, as they did two
years ago.

Uuless something can be done to

freight rates from Chicago were badly

The trouble originated because of the
report that freight was going East to
points competitive to Chicago at fig
ures that made it necessary for the
Chicago lines to come down if they
wanted any of the business, and they
evidently wanted it badly, judging by
the manner in which the traffic tariff
was cut.

reasonable as to ask the same body

The custom of paying the expense

In a spirit of reckless disregard OF
