ATTITUDE OF THE c. p. II.
May Not Be So Friendly as Eastern
Reports Intimate.


The report emanating from New York
that James J. Hill has a thorough under
standing with the Canadian Pacific which
Is to have an immediate effect upon the
policy of the 500 road is not generally
credited by prominent northwestern rail-
way men. The report says that Lord
Strathcona and Lord Mount Stephen, who
nave been associated with Mr.. Hill in
most of his big deals, are largely inter-
ested in the Canadian Pacific railroad,
and that through them Mr.. Hill is to eX-
ert some influence in Canadian Pacific
affairs; enough, at least, to assure him
the cooperation rather than the antagon-
ism Of that system.
The recent article of Henry CleWs, the
New York banker, on the Northern Sc
curities company, is considered partly re-
sponsble for this report. Mr.. CleWs says
that before Mr.. Hill began work on his
plans Of consolidation, he practically had
the assurance, because of his friendship
with Strathcona and Mount Stephen, Of
the moral support of the Canadian Pacific
railroad or a practical working com
munity of interest" with that road. If
this were the case. the effect would not
be long in permeating the policy Of the
500. .....
Several men conversant with the affairs
of the Canadian Pacific have recently said
that although Strathcona and Mount
Stephen are friendly with Mr.. HILL the
friendship does not extend to eXerting
In his behalf any influence they may have
with the Canadian road. Strathcona holds
a large block of Canadian Pacific stock,
but he has never shown any disposition
to interfere in the management Of the
property, and it is freely asserted that
he never will as long as results are sat
isfactory. Lord Mount Stephen Is cred
tied with the direct statement made re-
Gently that his holdings in the Canadian
Pacific railroad are insignificant. The
Canadian Pacific is said to favor Hills
plan as 1t makes that road and the 500
the only competitors Of the Hill system
in the northwest.

TRICKS IN ALL TRADES"
Sales of Unredeemed Pledges Tempt
PaSsersby.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Recently there have been added to the
city's Heterogeneous commerce several lit
tie shops which offer for sale, mostly at
auction to. the highest bidder, and to the
only bidder. too, if his bid be high
enough, jewelry and other articles that
go under the name of unredeemed pledges.
There are tricks in all trades, but this
particular trade is the sublimation Of all
tricks.
In the first place, there is something
alluring in the term 'unredeened
pledges"
All such stores employ men with phe-
nomenal lungs, who cry their wares IN
basso protundo. In one of them there is
fellow with voice that would be con-
spicuous in a den of roaring lions. He is
always coherent, and the volume of
| breathy sound that comes from his
| mouth seems to be reverberated from
every surface in the establishment. Gen
orally he is telling the merits Of certain
| watch or the price he has just been Of
fered for the t1mekeeper, and as passing
| pedestrian reaches the doorways he raises
| his voice a little, which secures an in
voluntary turn Of the head. Often curl
osity is aroused and the passerby goes in
| to Investigate.
When one enters the shop the auction
eer'' is probably announcing he has just
| been offered a ridiculously low price for
| fine pair of earrings.
| Gentlemen, are you going to let this
elegant pair, of earrings go at that price? p
| he asks, and there seems to be genuine
! distress in his voice.
Perhaps the next article offered is a
watch.
"Ah! What have we here? A watch
Well, so it is, and beauty, too" >
And then he goes on to tell how the
! owner of the watch was forced to part
| with it. It is always a pathetic tale.
Young man, health falling for long time !;
no money saved; mother dies suddenly;
| the watch is pawned to pay for the funer-
al of the dear old lady.
He signs deeply, but stiles his emotion,
and proceeds with the sale.
"Look at this watch and tell me what
you think of it, he says to tall indi-
yidual standing near the showcase.
II have no need of watch, replies the
man.
But look at it, You don't need to buy
| it,
IA critical examination Of the watch
| follows and then the man who had no
| need of it, offers perhaps SIS. The bid is
at first scorned but after much talk Is
reluctantly accepted.
II any one bids 25 cents more the watch
| is Immediately sold.
The man whosoffers the SIS is a tout"
| He goes from shop to shop. Three or
| four are employed, and they go from shop
to shop, making the first bid on every
| piece of gold plated jewelry that is Of
fered for sale.
There is one tall stout" who weares
glasses and who has been employed so
long that even the most unwary look at
him askancely Often he is forced to
make bluff at buying the brass. 1t is
safe to estimate that he has bought" at
least 1000 watches during the past two
| years. .
