ABBOTT IN TOLLS
Alleged Kansas City Swindle1
Caught at Duluth.

~ : ..
Duluth, Mimi, June 5.-R..- S. Abbott.
charged with swindling Kansas City grain
dealers out of 81, 200, on May is, was arrested
here by Detective Matthew Kenney, of that
city, and Chief of Police Troyer, as he stepped
from the steamer Monarch, which had JUS.
arrived from Canadian ports. This was the
cul1n nation of three weeks chase after
Abbott by Pinkerton men, during which they
followed him to Canada and then Swallowed
him until he again set foot on American
soil. Abbott at first stenuously denied, his
identity, but when the officers discovered in
his baggage underwear marked with his
name, and found rating book of a Kansas
City commercial agency, in which the name
had been written but afterward partially
erased, he weakened and admitted that he was
the man. He denies that he is implicated tr
the fraud with which he is charged, and will
leave fer Kansas City tomorrow with the
officers without requsition papers. 1t is
claimed that Abbott, possibly assisted by ac-
completes, followed two cars of grain from
Rock, Mo-, and sold it to Kansas City grain
men on the claim that it was his own. The
same game was worked about year ago
quite extensively, and the detectives believe
that Abbott may be part Of the same gang
that turned the trick at that time.

THE ANTI-MORGAN LINE
Both Mail and Passenger Steamers
With Government Subsidy.

London, June 5.-The negotiations Of
the British and the Canadian governments
and some of the other colonial govern
ments with the Cunard line and other
lines comprising what is now termed the
Liverpool syndicate, which is opposing
the Morgan shipping combine, contem-
plate, according to the Westminster Ga
zette, both a fast service of mail and pas
senger steamers, in conjunction with the
Canadian Pacific railroad and fleet Of
fast freight steamers. The mail steam
ers which it is proposed to build will be-
of enormous size, capable Of steaming
twenty-five knots an hour and will be
fully equipped for use as armed cruisers.
carrying eight quick-f firing six-inch guns,
forward and at, and broadsides of three
Al inch guns. The freight steamers will
be 16-knot vessels, carrying 5000 to 1000
tons, dead weight. The Westminster Ga
zette thinks it probable that Milford
Haven will be the port of departure Of
the fleet. The scheme contemplates a line
of steamers running to China Japan and
Australia from Vancouver, B. G. Canada
and Australia are expected to join in
paying the subsidies. The draft of the
scheme involves the home government
guaranteeing a small interest of the cap
ital involved. This would have to be rat
flied by the house of commons, where"
says the Westminster Gazette, sit will
probably meet with opposition"
