torius Won Walstershausen, professor OF
political economy at Strausburg university,
and one Of the leading German authorities
on American subjects, wi contribute q
striking article to a for L.. 'ng number
OF the zeitschrift fur, soO ThpL hschaft
on the URited States OF Gem. ~ =. a,
The writer will argue that th IA
European states will sooner or latS
compelled to erect a common tariff BARR,
against the aims of the United States to
economic ascendancy or against those OF
Great Britain with greatly moderated tar
IFS and perhaps free trade between them
selves.
Baron Won Walstersnausen believes that
eventually a complete political union between
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and
Holland is probable and that this union
will give these countries an impregnable
economic position. The baron will argue
also that great states like the United States
and Russia possess reouperative powers su-
perior to those OF the isolated and small
countries Of western Europe.
In support Of this statement he instances
the fact that the United States issued loans
at per cent at the close OF the civil war
and refunded these loans at per cent In

Entertained.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 17.-what the
police believe to be a murder was discov-
cred today, when a man with bloody hand
kerchief tagged q Milwaukee train near
the fsh hatchery, and informed the train
men that a man had been killed there.
The man who stopped the train disappeared
at once, and no trace of him has been
found.
The train crew made an investigation, and
found the remains Of a man scattered along
the track for more than mile. The cloth
ing found was such as is worn by men in
prosperous circumstances, but neither
money nor jewels was found. There was
nothing by which the dead man could be
identified.
People in the vicinity where the remains
were found state they heard men engaged
in a row last night, and the theory of the
police is that the unidentified man was
murdered and robbed and his remains placed
on the track. where they would be mangled
by passing trains.

Union PACIFIC IS HAVING TROUBLE
Says Militia f. Necessary in order
to Protect Property of Road at
This Point, but Citizens
Say Not.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Aug 17-(spe-
cisl Telegram lowing to a small demon
stration which strikers made at the train
Friday evening when a gang Of imported
labor passed through the city on their way
to Cheyenne, railroad authorities we're in
strumental in having Governor Savage in
the city today.
This morning the governor met Messrs.
Dickinson, Baxter, Buckingham and Attor-
ney Baldwin in the private car Of Mr.. Dick
inson, and held a consultation Of over an
hour. The railroad officials tried to i'm
press upon the governor the necessity OF
calling out the state militia at this point,
claiming that their property was not being
protected, and the right Of running their
business was being interfered with.
In the afternoon the governor met a
committee Of strikers, and several promi-
nent business men In the Commercial club
rooms, and listened to their side Of the
question.
At this meeting It was clearly demon
strated that there was not any necessity
of calling out the militia. The governor
stated that he didn't see the necessity OF
a militia, and would not call It out unless
the mayor or sheriff requested It. and then
he would heed their request and act
promptly.
When the governor arrived in town and
his mission became known 1t was a CUR
prise to the citizens in general. The situa-
tion here was not considered serious by
the citizens, as a great majority of the
strikers are good citizens and property
owners. The acts of few are condemned,
not only by citizens, but by the strikers
themselves Last night, owing TO the re-
mark made by one Of the officials to use
your clubs on the strikers" he was hung
in efIigy by some hoodlums Of the town.
From a reliable source, It is known that
the strikers had nothing to do with the
matter, and severely condemn the act.
The striking employees Of the Union Pa
cinc railroad held a picnic at picket sta
tion No. /, at the corner of Seventh and
Davenport streets. Sunday. There are
about 400 pickets on guard, serving in
equads of twenty men each. Preparations
were made Saturday for a picnic dinner
at the station and by noon the lieutenants
in charge had brought together a large
number of their men. Secretary Grace and
other officers of the organization were
invited and at 1880 the feast was spread
The bill Of fare was varied and extensive,
and about 100 men partook of the feast.
After the dinner tho men stood around
and talked over the situation.
The guard line Of the company is not
far from the station Of the strikers picket
and during the dinner the guards were
apparently interested spectators, but there
was no attention paid to them by the
strikers. Secretary Grace professed to be
perfectly satisfied with the existing con-
dition.
