TOUGH TIME ON A TRAIN.

While the blockade of the N. P. by
water was in effect here, Great North
ern trains near Minot were stuck in the
snow and for four days not a whee
on one of the trains was turned. The
record of those four days will not be
soon frgotten. 1t included q. mutiny
among the passengers in the tourist
cars, at attempt at suicide by pro-
fessor of philosophy, and another man
brought to the verge of insanity. In
addition to these things the passengers
suffered no little from cold and con-
finement. and would have suffered
keenly from lack of food had not the
train finally been released. AS it was
meals in the dining car were restricted
to two day.
After twenty-four hours of delay the
passengers in the tourist cars, who were
rather rough lot of people, began to
clamor for food. There, were one OF
two alleged lawyers among them who
declared that after the train had been
blockaded for twenty-four hours the
railroad company was obliged to fur
nish food free of cost To this the
dining car conductor replied that he
had never received such instructions
although he was sorry to see anyone
suffering from hunger.
Saturday night the people in the
tourist cars appointed committee OF
seven men to settle the question by
heroic measures. The men were told
to go back to the dining cars and in
form those in charge that the people in
the colonist cars would have to be fed.
and that, too, without cost to them
selves. They also declared that until
the tourist car passengers were fed.
no one else on the train should eat a
bite. At that the committee took pos
session of the diner.

had charge of the Great Northern
sengers. and it was agreed that as a
matter of common fairness the people
in the forward cars should be fed This
was done, and not sleeping car pas

through. The next day provisions ran
short, and cases of canned salmon and
other express matter from the forward
express cars were confiscated. In adj
dition passengers in the sleeping cars

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, April There was
not much news this morning and the
trade in consequence very narrow.
Gables were but shade off, but there
were good rains reported at Fort
Worth, and in Oklahoma.
Receipts are not improving any and
at the same time the cash business is
very satisfactory. The trade is in.
clined to feel bearish and were offer
ing more freely than usual, as soon
as weakness was displayed after touch
ing 20 CENTS. Harris Gates as well as
z Cudahy were credited with letting go
quite a lot on the bulge, but on the
decline there was some very good in
vestment buying. The bears are ar
guing that the winter wheat acreage is
this year unusually large, which will
make up the efficiency in poor condi-
ton. We hardly believe that they
have made sufficient allowance for that
Nv
either corn or oats. We may have but
a scalping market for few more
days, but it seems consistent to state
that the purchasers on dips will prove
most profitable at least for reasonable
scalps.
- Corn opened quite firm this morning
and was inclined to show improve
ment but influential houses identi-
fed with this article were offering
more freely than usual, which found
few wanting any. It will require
quite a little juggling to get the
bull" idea out of the head Of the
average trader, but when this is once
accomplished they will then find easy
sailing and offerings will be less DIFF
icl1lt to obtain.
Oats were rather inclined to be list
less and the trade waiting to see how
other grains will act.
There is we'll founded talk that Pat
ten has the May option still in hand,
/. but he perhaps is waiting for more
favorable time to bull them, which
can easily be done.
Provisions were at THE best but
steady The run Of hog was quite
small with better prices, but the
weakness in corn discouraged many
holders who unloaded freely. We're 1t
not for the support given by the pack
ing interst based on cash demand we
would expect to see quite a little set
back, but this is the interest which
has placed them on this level and they
do not have to sell their holdings at
loss.

! MONEY IN MILK.

Wilton News: Many Of the older
settlers who have devoted their time
principally to beef raising, and who
are antagonizing the creamery pro-
ject will be interested to learn what
a COW can really do by way Of making
a mans fortune. On the w. ID. Wash
burn farm, there are twenty-three
cows being milked, and some of them
are a long way from being. blooded
Jerseys too. From these twenty three
cows the farm sold during March and
no one will deny that March is the
poorest month in the year for dairy
stock 351 pounds of separator butter
at 25 cents per pound, or $S7.75 worth.
The mine received $27.1 worth OF
milk. In short, the cows produced for
i their owner, $114.s5 in cash, to say
nothing OF the twenty y-two fine, frisky
calves they are raising besides.
Taking the above figures as an aver
age, II will readily be seen that the
cash produce of these 3 twenty three
cows for one year would be $1,37S.2O
on an original investment Of $500. for
the cows, figuring them at ss:35 each.

MENT OF THE LINE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
sir. In YOUR issue OF May you say that the
Rev Josiah Strong when he arrived from the
Celtic cruise) two weeks ago. said that he and
several other passengers dissatisfied with the
vav that the excursion had been managed. and
that the most blame should be put on Captain
Lindsay"
Permit me 10 correct your reporter I offered no
criticism whatever on the management Of the eX-
cursion on the contrary. I congratulate Mr.. Clark

conducted il. Ny criticism was confined wholly 10
Captain Lindsay You quote him saying: The
whole trouble was caused by what We seamen term
a lot Of landlubbers or. 10 use a more polite term
people who had never been TO sea before and were
entirely ignorant of what should be done with the
ship" Allow me 10 inform YOU that the criticisms
which I offered Captain Lindsay were based on
expert opinion. On a question of seamanshp Cap
tain Lindsay's opinion worth than that
of his eight hundred passengers. But it was not
worth than that Of the British admiral at
Malta who moved his vessels that the Celtic might
enter the harbor, and who is stated TO have been
surprised At her not entering that he sent his
secretary TO inquire the reason why
Captain Lindsays opinion 10 the harbor al
Malta is not worth more than that Of the harbor
master who. knowing the dimensions of the Celtic
as well Captain Lindsay and knowing the har-
Dor much better offered TO bring her in and be per-
sonallv responsible for any damages that might
accrue Nor is Captain Lindsay's opinion more
weighty than that of the captain OF a British war
vessel then lying in the harbor who stated that
his vessel drew 3S feet of water. while the Celtic
was drawing only 80, and who also stated that if
the Celtic had come in she would not any time
have had less than eight fathoms of water under
her keel.
These experts are not landlubbers and their tudg
nent leaves Captain Lindsay utterly without ex-
cuse for his obstinate refusal TO take his vessel
into port which resulted in endangering the lives

who has much knowledge OF The sea wrote 10 one

Struggling for their lives in the water and gave
order whatever throw life preservers for their
