Reminiscence of an Old Mineral Pointer.

The following, floating through the
press Of the country will be OF inter-
est to many TRIBUNE readers. Bill
Gidley was raised in Mineral Point,
and is remembered as one Of the jol-
liest boys of the city twenty-five
years ago. He is n brother Of Mrs.
Geo. Masten, who is still resident
here. The "Reminiscences says:
70 the pioneers OF North Dakota,
particularly that class who had oc-
casion to "stage IT. back In the days
when the snort Of the iron horse had
mot been heard on the then sparsely
settled prairies, the name OF "BilT
Gidley was familiar as that of Col.
John ii. Stevens Is to the Minnea-
politan.
Bill was Il stage driver--one of
those great, big, good-natnred souls,
whose face dilated between d broad
grin and a hearty guifaw. His ar
rival at the stage station was the sig
nal for merriment from the Office To
the kitchen, from cellar TO garnet.
Bill Gidley, Notwithstanding his
rough, unpublished manner, was al
ways the gentleman, and had as ten
der heart as ever beat IN human
breast. Gidley's friends little
thought that cloud would sweep
across the life of tho big stage driver
which would forever hide from view
the smile which hld been for many
years Il light along the route.
Thirteen years ago, on Thanksgiy-
Ing day, there was turkey shooting
match at Bismarck. Bill was there,
he went 20 see the sport, and while
not an expert shot, allowed he'd just
kill of what few turkeys these ERE
fellows have got
After o. number OF unsuccessful
shots Bill's friends began 10 make
sport 81 his Workmanship. One Of
them, pointing to u little outbullding
standing some thirty yards distant,

sBiIl, you can't hit that sllack over
there Gidley clapped his rifle to his
shoulder, pulled the trigger, the door
Of the shack swung open and Bills
best friend fell ut the entrance--shot
through the heart. That was thir-
teen years ago. Gidley Ii still stag
ing IL In the Black Hills country,
but his old-time friends would hard
ly recognize him. The face once
wTeathed In smiles IL picture Of
sadness; no more are heard the jol-
ly stories and pleasantrhs that used
to lend Il light TO the station. A
heart-broken man, he passes his
leisure time In comparative solitude.

Deceased was about 75 years old.
For long time he had been singu-

sCHOMBURG's BAD SURVEY.
New Evidence Coming to Light
Every Day.

WASHINGTON, jan "a search is
being made for quarters for the Ven
ezuelan commission, and it is proba BILE
that in the end it will be located in
the building at the corner of Pennsyl-
Vania avenue and Madison place, now
occupied by the bureau of American re-
publics. Almost daily facts are com
Ing to light,in the shape of ancient let
tiers and reports, throwing light on the
boundary controversy, all of which
doubtless will be laid before the COM
mission if it desires. Some of this mat
ter, it is said, impeaches the accuracy
of the celebrated Schomburg line in
important essentials and thus tends to
strengthen the Venezuelan case. In
one case, the documents appear to es-
tablish the fact that Schomberg never
really made survey, but used charts
and maps that were ancient, even in
his time, and since have been shown
to be erroneous, to make a compila-
ton upon which he traced his line.
The statement cabled from Rome to
the effect that evidence had been dis
covered in the archives of the Vatican
tending to establish the title of Vene-
zuela to the disputed tract before the
Dutch cession to Great Britain has
been received here with interest and
attention, for it is we'll known that
the Spanish priests were thoroughly
familiar with the Orinoco basin at a
very early period in the history of the
country and their reports would have
much weight with geographers.

GREAT NORTHERN OBJECTS.
N. p. and c. p. Paying High Commis-
sions for Ocean business.


CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Trouble has
broken out among the transcontinentaI
lines over the east-hound steamship
business, and the chances are that there
Will be serious trouble before the mat
ter is adjusted The Great Northern
has complained to Chairman Caldwell
that the Canadian Pacific is paying ex-
cessive commissions on the business
The chairman has ruled that all the
traff1c on which the Canadian Pacific is
paying such commissions is trans-At-
lantlc business, and he has no power to
grant the Great Northern any relief.
The Great Northern also claims that the
Northern Pacific is paying excessive
commissions on the same class of BUSH
ness. On this the chairman declares
that the mere announcement that such
is the case is not enough to enable him
to extend any help to the Great North
eIn- II the commissions paid by the
Northern Pacific are on trans-oceanic
business, in either direction, the Great
northern must find its own relief. for
the agreement of the transcontinental
roads does not cover this kind of traffic
ana any road taking measures for the
protection of its traffic in this regard
must see that it does not demoralise
business in other directions. There is
httie doubt that the Great Northern
VIII take such action as it deems neces-
sary for the preservation of it's bust
ness, and trouble is liable to extend to
transcontinental business proper

FoRTIFyING THE COAST.
Ordnance Board Urges Congress to
Hasten the Work.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The secre-
tary of war sent to the house today the
fifth annual report of the board of ord
nance and Notifications for the year
ending Oct. 81, 1885, The estimate OF
funds required for the ensuing fiscal
year is $245000. This is to be expended
for experiments and expenses of the
board. The work of providing a proper
armament for our harbors, says the re-
port, is progressing steadily and on a
sound basis, but so slowly that at the
rate appropriations have been made
during the past ten years it would take
at least fifty years to place our seacoast
in proper condition of defense. 1t is Of
national Importance and an imperative
necessity that the work of fertilization
should be pressed with vigor. Such,
says the report, would be a wise as
surance against the sacrifice of many
of our most important cities, which
would reasonably occur within ten days
time Of actual war in our present condi-
ton. In closing, the board urges that
definite appropriation for seacoast
Notifications and armament be made,
and to that end earnestly recommends
that $2.00O,0 900 be appropriated for engi-
neer work in the construction of neces-
sary works; also that $4,000, 900 be APP
propriated for the construction of guns,
mortars. gun carriages, seacoast arma-
ment and ammunition.

There would be fully as many men

BOUNDARY OF ALASKA.
Little Chance for Britain to Make
n Grab Now.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Gen. Du-
field, chief of the coast and geodetic
survey, today presented to the secre-
tary of state the joint report on the
Alaskan boundary which was agreed
upon by him and the Canadian repre-
sentative, Mr.. King, at their meeting
at Albany this week. The report prob
ably will not be made public until it is
transmitted to congress, but it shows a
practical agreement between the sur
Veys of the two governments and may
have the effect of partially quieting
the apprehensions of trouble over the
boundary. The greatest difference be-
tween the lines run by the engineers
of the two governments is but six feet
and seven inches, or fifteen. seconds of
longitude. In view of the results of
the two surveys Gen. Dufield does not
hesitate to express the opinion that
there can be no serious dispute be-
tween the United States and Canada
over the boundary. He said: "The
line is as plain from the treaty as
though it had been recorded by deed
and map"

William Henry Eustis is not alone
among the titled aristocracy Of Min
neapolis. He has a formidable rival
in the person of Arthur M. Diggles,
captain of Company B, the crack local
military organization which is prepar-
ing to attend to Mardi Gras festivi-
ties in New Orleans next month.
The king of the carnival has COM
! missioned Capt. Diggles with the opu-
lent title of Duke of Minneapolis"
and yesterday the duke returned his
formal acceptance of the title with all
that it implies.
Capt. Diggles takes his new honors
very modestly. He will not assume
any of the airs of nobility while
among his Minneapolis subjects, and
wishes it expressly understood that he
is not seeking heiresses. Minneapolis
people need have no fear on that score,
as the captain is married. While he
appreciates the dignity, it will sit
lightly on his shoulders till the COM
pany makes the visit to New Orleans,
when the duke will have to officate
as one of the princely retinue of the
king.
Capt. Diggles has enrolled as loyal
subjects of the King of the Carnival
fifty of the rank and file of Company
B, and they will make an eight days
trip together on a special car, leaving

NEW YORK, Jan. A World spe-

Carlisle will at once issue a statement
to the public on the bond question. 1t
will almost undoubtedly announce that
the president will order a public loan.
This information comes from a source
which makes it impossible to question
it's truth. The exact terms of the state
ment are still unsettled, but the chances
are 10 to that the loan will be offered
to the public first. If that call fails, the
government will fall back on the syndi-
cate. The bond call had been arranged
for Monday"
