Goes to New York. Ik? IIalMIr«e<lfl Vote
to Support Cornell and Dep«w, and Later
l»!<lial«li«"s No.' so Favorable to ttoacoe.
New Yobk, June 2. Conkling left AL
bony to-night for New York, called away by
legal business. He will return to Albany as
soon as the business is completed.
The Graphic's Albaiiy'speeial says: There
is trouble In the camp of ad in ration men,
growing out of the multitude of candidates:
The difficulty is to stale who can break the
Conkling column. The Dcpew men want
Cornell.i Others, want Crowley or Lapham
There h Intriguing in i . eh direction; Friends
of Conkling are bolder this morning than at
any time during the contest The Stalwart
organ calls upon Republicans to return Conk
ing as the lcader'bf the pasty, and ;>sks his
opponents to name their man who is to t.ike
his place as leader. It is
in the failure of the half-breeds
to unite upon a candidate that the stalwarts
see their opportunity. It is suspected Conk
ling has had several members acting with the
half-breeds, who are kepi there for the express
purpose of preventing an agreement on candi
dates.
A special to the Express [Democratic) says:
The half-breed Republicans are in a terrible
quandary. In the beginning of this tight Sen
ator Robertson and his staff mapped out a pro
gramme, which was not to be extended and
which provided for the defeat of Conkllng.
That, of course, would also shelve Phut as
well. Day and hour rolled around, when the
most sanguine of Roscoe's friends were forced
to acknowledge their leader was defeated. The
admission induced the half-breeds to not only
abuse the ex-boss, but armed their first pro
gramme by attempting to replace Conkling
and Platt with two pronounced enemies of
stalwart ism. It is this amendment that has
exhibit! their rir.-t mistake and forced a bolt,
which may inflict irreparable injury. It is to
get out of this unfortunate quandary that a
secret meeting was held last night. One
thing is certain, if the determination
to land two half-breeds as winners la the pro
gramme ii will be futile, and for this reason
Conkling has thirty-five members who will
cling to him until be retires from the race,
:ind after thai to any two men who are in
sympathy with him. Besides these there are
thirteen member* who arc anxious to cast
their ballots for Conkling, but dare not do so
und accept the sentence of their indignant con
stituent?. This, then, makes a total of forty
eight votes for the stalwarts, which is twen-'
ty-two more tliaii is required for a deadlock.
Should Robertson ad Woodin, to break that
deadlock, extend the olive branch, and accord
the two, or even one of the vacancies to Conk
ling's friends, it would be regarded as a virtual
backdown and weakness, which would tend
to rebuild the waning power of the opposition.
The Telegram's special says: The balloting
bo far leaves the situation as great a puzzle as
fiver. Should the stalwarts, acting like the
306 at Chicago, keep up an unbroken front
from day to clay, there is no chance whatever
of administration candidates be
in^ elected. Silas B. Dutcher,
about the prospect for Conkling and Platt,
.-aid: "It is satisfactory enough to us as it
-tin.! We have sufficient votes to command
the situation, and developments expected to
day and to-morrow will give us increased
strength. The votes for Cornell and Crowley
will not stay with them, but will come back
to Conkling and Platt, for the ri-st
break. The prospect Is more hopeful
for the stalwart side than It baa appeared since
the beginning of the canvass." Senator Foster,
speaking on behalf of the administration side,
said: "It is impossible to tell at this moment
who will be the choice of the convention for
our side. [should no£ be surprised if ■de
velopments were such that the stalwarts and
half-breeds would consolidate. Vet it may be
Cornell ami Depew, which would attract sup
port from both wings. I don't think the
stalwarts are so mad with Cornell as they pre
tend. They would certainly rather have him
than a half-breed, and the half-breeds are favor
i',1 '. disposed to him.' 1

Albany, Jane 2.— The- half-breeds met in
caucus to-night ami decided to make a strenu
ous effort in the Senate to defeat the concur
rent resolution, already adopted by the House,
to adjourn to-morrow until Tuesday. They
also decided to concentrate on Cornell and De
pew, each of whom is said to be- ft the race
by Ills own consent. They also warned gen
ii men against pairing oil", advising against it.
THE VERT LATEST GUESS.
New Yoke, June 3. — The Tribune has an
Albany special to the effect that as soon as it
was known Conkling had left for New
fork, it had a demoralizing effect
on his followers and the most luke
warm ore believed to have at once entered into
negotiations with friends'. It looks, says the
dispatch, as though a combination will be
made to secure the election of Cornell and De
pew.
iown Greenback Convention and Nomina
tions.
MabshaxltowNi la., June 2.— lii the Green
back State convention a resolution passed that
the roll be called for the purpose of appointing
a volunteer worker in each town
ship and county for dissemination of
greenback doctrines by pamphlets,
etc. Hen. Weaver greatly aroused
the delegates by an earnest and eloquent appeal
in a two hours speech. 'l'he State ticket,
framed to-day, is as follows: For governor,
Hon. D. M Clark, of Wayne county; for lieu
tenant governor, Hon. Jas. M. Holland, of
Henry county; for supreme judge, Hon. A. D.
Dobney, of Madison county; for superintend
ent (it public instruction, Mrs. Mary E.
Nash, of DesMoinea. A spirited protest went
up from the minority on the
last nomination, and the convention
was admonished by legal delegates present
that the lady, if electen, would be prevented,
under the State law, iroin fulfilling the duties
of that office. The majority, however, de
clared that they would nominate her if all the
laws in Christendom prevented her.

ilarfflij'v .'rlanlo.lons.
The i Ipera house was crowded to iU utmost
capacity last cveri&g to witness the perform
ance of Haverly's European Mastodon mm.
Btrels. Tho performance was unexceptionally
good from first to last. The vocalization iv
the first part was very Buperior, and ihe jokes
wcru decidedly original. The banjo features
by Sam Do vo re were excellent aud entertain
ing. The transformation and 6tatue clog was
highly artistic; McAntlrews' darkey delinea
tions were excellent, and Billy Rice's oration
was excruciatingly funuy. Tn fact, the whole
programme' was a composition of fun <uui
nonsense that proved highly entertaining.
This evening the company will bid adieu to
Hip city for a year. A full house i.-s asrored
H<>nriii)i.
The music loving people of St. Paul will be
glad to welcome to the city the greatest vio
linist ;if the age, Eduard Remenyi, who is an
nounced for a concert on Saturday evening.
The sale of seats will begin at the Opera house
this morning. Of Mr. Remenyi the N«w
York Tribune says:
The Hungarian violinist. Ednard Remenyi,
who ir ade his first appearance at Stein way ball,
is one of those phenomenal artists who can be
measured by the standard of no other men.
Comparison, in most cases, is but a pinchbeck
criticism, and with such an exceptional and
original performer as this it 19 entirely use
less. All nil work bears the mark of his own
strong character, and in everything that he
does, whether we consider the intellectual
conception of the piece or the technical exe
cution of it, the differences which separate
him from other violinists are differences not
so much in the degree of merit as in the kind.
* + * The elegance, precision ami neat
ness of Remenyi'a work is not less notable
than its brilliancy.
Organ Recital,
The third organ recital by Mr. S. A. I'.iMu iv
will be given at the House of Hope church

The entertainment will, without' question, be
a great artistic success.

COMMENCEMENT DAY.
Th« Graduating Exerciser of the Class or
'81 at tlio University or Minnesota— A
Largo Crowd In Attendance— Essays and
Orations by the Graduates— The Confer
ring tit Degrees.
The commencement exercises of the class
of '81 of the University of Minnesota took
place yesterday. The exercises were announced
to commence at D o'clock, but owing to the
continuous inflow of visitors it was found im
possible to begin before nearly 10 o'clock.
The platform of the chapel, where the exer
cises were held, was occupied by the board of
regents, the faculty and a number of distin
guished citizens of the State, together with
their wives and daughters. Gen. Sibley, the
president of the board of regents, occupied the
central chair, President Folweil the chair to
the extreme, right, and Senator Edgerton that
to the left. The hall was packed to its utmost
capacity long before the hour for the opening
of the exercises, the wealth; beauty and fash
ion of Minneapolis being largely represented
in the gathering. A fresh current of air per
meated the chapel, so that, large as the] com
pany was, the atmosphere was pure and
cooL
Till: ORATIONS.
Danz'a band opened the exercises by the
march from Boccacio. which was rendered in
a highly artistic manner. The Rev. David
Brooks followed with a brief prayer, after
which the Spring Quartette was' rendered
excellently. Miss Margaret Agnes Campbell,
by virtue "of an election by the class, read the
salutatory address and essay, » entitled "The
Merchant of Venice." It was read in a clear
voice and with excellent rhetorical effect.
The subject matter was fresh and original, the
diction elegant, and the composition as a whole
worthy of the highest praise. The succeeding
oration by Mr. Anderson on "Character"* was a
production that reflected the highest credit
upon his mental training. Mr. Baldwin fol
lowed with a semi-historical oration on "The
Suspension of the Habeas Corpus," which was
rendered in good styie. "The Decay of Na
tions" was the subject of Mr. Bardwell a
production mainly historical, and displaying
considerable research iv both ancient and
modern history. Mr. H. H. Botfniwell fol
lowed with an oration on "The Duty of Edu
cated men," a literary composition of unusual
merit which indicated the possession of mental
faculties of a high order and a broad compre
hension of the duties of citizenship.
A waltz; by the band afforded a change of
the programme,when Mr. Broughton discussed
the question or "Why Burke was
not in the Whig Cabinet" in
a manner that showed his famil
iarity with the events of English history con
temporaneous with the career of the great
Irish statesman. Mr. Bryant treated of "Lit
tleness in Large Affairs" in an entertaining
and original manner, displaying at the same
time an excellent comprehension of rhetorical
effects. The essay on Nathaniel Hawthorne
which followed was a discriminating analysis
of the poet's methods, and did great credit to
its author, Miss Diana Barnes. "The French
Revolution" was treated of in j. learned man
ner by Mr. Chowen, who was followed by
Miss Crafts with an essay on Lessing, which
was jn every way worthy of commendation.
The band varied the monotony with the rec
itation of Yon Suppe's "Poet and Peasant,"
when Miss Grimes took up the discourse with
an essay on "True Greatness," which proved
to be both edifying and entertaining. Mr.
Grimes followed with a brief dissertation otl
"Institutions," various and sundry, the result
of all being that American institutions, espe
cially of the collegiate order, an of the first
class. Mr. Harrington followed in an oration
oq the necessity of organization in
corporate o. # incorporate bodies. Miss Hough
followed with an analysis of the character
of Rienzi, ..the great Roman patriot,
who was ii characterized as essentially
selfish. The succeeding oration by Mr. Kent
on Hannibal was chiefly historical, but the
manner of its delivery won for it hearty ap
plause.
A brief interval of music, during which the
audience rested by standing, was succeeded by
an oration on "The Greek Revolution" by
Mr. King, In which he pointed out the repub
lican tendencies of the j>cople of Greece. Mr.
D. A. Locke discussed "The Indian Question"
at considerable length, pointing out some- of
the inconsistencies in the treatment of the
savages by the government of the United
Sbtes. The essay of Miss Miies on "Ambition
in Lady Macbeth" was one of the most dis
criminating of the day. It was a close
analytical discussion on the character of Lady
Macbeth as displayed in Shakspenre's delinea
tion of the character, and was worthy of a
more pretentious occasion. Miss Palmer's
oration, 'The House that Jack Built," was a
unique treatment of an original subject, and
well deserved the commendations that
it received on all hands. Miss Palmer - has
shown herself to be possessed of a fertile im
agination and a ready style of expression that
will place her in a prominent rank in intellect
ual pursuits daring her future caieer. Mr.
Phillips' oration on "American Character,"
though somewhat erode in delivery was ex
cellent in matter, and won universal com
mendation both from {he faculty and the au
dience.
Though the hour of noon had arrived, the
awliencestill remained to hear the last orations
of the class of 'SI. The band discoursed v
choice selection, after which Mr. Rowley de
livered his oration en "The Worthiness of
Wealth." The pursuit of wealth was treated
as a worthy impulse when kept within proper
bounds, and the delivery of the oration was
praiseworthy. Mr.Savtdge followed with un
oration un "Freedom and Shivery in America,"
treating <>l i vente that arc familiar to all news
paper readers. Hl* delivery eras unexeeption
ably good, and the subject matter of the address
was au that could be required. He was frequent
ly interrupted hy applause 1 . Mr. Bnyder suc
ceeded with a semi-historical orttion on "The
Fall of theßaatile " Mr. Snyder's stjle was
in many respects superior* in an oratorical
sense to any of his predecessors. Miss Wil
liams gave a very ple.ising oration on "The
Ministry of Nature," :.flcr which the validie
tory address was delivered by 'Sir. Aiton. It
was an exceedingly scholarly oration, and Well
merited th? commendation? bestowed upon it.
Alter the literary part of the address had been
concluded, Mr." Aiton turned to the regents
and expressed, on behalf of the class, sincere
thanks for the privileges extended to them. He
next addressed the faculty through President
Folweli, thanking them for the courtesies of
thecourse. To the schoolmut< = .if the class
lie expressed thanks for favors extended, and
to the members of the class of 'SI he bid an
affecting farewell.
CONFERRING the DEGREE.--.
After a selection of music, President F<>l.
well arose, and addressing Gen: SiU<-y, presi
dent of the board of regent?, he presented
him with the record of the class
for the past Tear, commending them not only
as scholars but as ladies and gentlemen. Gen.
Sibley responded, expressing his gratification
at the evidences of a high grade' of scholar
ship that had been shown in the exercises of
the day. He was pleased to know that the
State of Minnesota could support an institu
tion such as the University of Minnesota has
proved to be.
The graduates were then called up in sec
tions and diplomas delivered to them as fol

London, June 2.— Dispatches from Clon

number of . soldiers from injuries received in
the riot there Tuesday, was exaggerated.. No
policemen or soldiers received dangerous in
juries, although several were knocked down. •

an Alien bishop's adwress.
Cork, June !J.— Dublin dispatch: Arch
bishop Croke concluded at Thurles y-csterday,
one of the most extraordinary campaigns ever
known in Irish ecclesiastical history. Ilis
grace brought his labors to a close with two
speeches containing several passages of the
highest importance at the present moment.
In the forenoon he made a remarkable appeal
to Gladstone to stop evictions. His grace
eaid: "I appeal to that great statesman
solemnly, as an Irish bishop, In the name of
Tipperary and in the name of Ireland, to let his
fiat go out that there is to be no more
evictions during the present time. (Great
cheering.) It is a curious fact that the word
eviction, in the sense in which it i 3 used here,
is scarcely knowu in any other country in the
world. There is no such thing elsewhere.
It is a word of evil omen. It js a word that im
parts dispopulation'of our country; that im
parts degradation. of our people; that imparts
the flying of them beyond the waters to for
eign lands in search of means of livelihood,
carrying with them a spirit of
vengeance against what is certainly
the greatest empire iv the world, but which
is no less certainly the empire which has treat
ed Ireland worse than ever empire treated a de
pendency. (Loud cheers.) Therefore I
would say to that great statesman, if you
value the friendship of Ireland, if you
value the good name of England, iC^you value
the lives of our people, if you do not wish to
perpetuate the national feud and sanguinary
traditions that have ruled in this country for
ages — blot out from the statute book the name
of eviction and let no man hence
forth be turned out of- his land unless it
is quite clear that the money which
should have met his engagement was waste
fully and foolishly dissipated. (Loud cheers.)
It was only the other day that the venerable
parish priest of Maycorkey told me that when
he became priest of that parish it contained
one thousand two hundred families. There
are at present only four hundred. Let me ask
Mr. Gladstone what has become of the eight
hundred families, once so happy in their hum
ble homes, who have disappeared from the par
ish? Many of them have gone into grave?,
many into the workhouse, and many to the
great republic of the west, bearing with them
undying 1 hatred to the country that banished
them froiii their native land. (Great
cheering.) At the same time, if the evictions
/ire to go on, I would advise you how to act.
Do not bring yourselves into collision with
the authorities. They arc too strong for 3'ou.
Even for conscience sake, even for our own
preservation, for the eakp of expediency if not
principle, we must act on Un iWtfonfil 1 1 We
must oiler passive resistance to those opposed
to us; and in that way they will get tired of
the contest, because a whole united people
have never yet been defeated.
His grace concluded with the following re
markable declaration: "I have to sny that
this movement is not a revolutionary move
ment in the strict sense of the word. It is a
constitutional movement. It Is a lawful
movement. It is a movement which we in
tend to push forward by moral force alone.
(Cheers.) We don't intend to violate any laws.
We intend to exhaust all constitutional reme
dies. We are perfectly certain that the elas
ticity of the constitution will allow
us ihe means of working faithfully to
the last, finally achieving the result
we aim at. We wish to produce au effect on
England, not by physical force or by any
manifestations of physical force, but by moral
means. We want to make our grievances
known to the entire world — to tell trance and
Spain and Italy and the United States and the
great colonies that we acknowledge the sway
of Great Britain, that in this country we have
been kept down by bayonets to the present
time; and, as by bayonets we are
kept down at present, please God,
we are now fully determined,
bayonets or no bayonets, (great cheering) to
proclaim at all events our wants, and to pro
claim that we will not be satisfied until
we get our rights, and that we will enlist on
our behalf, not the swords, nor guns, nor
cannons of France, or of Spain, or Italy or of
the United States, but the intelligent opinion
of all intelligent nations of the world. There
fore this is not a revolutionary movement,
but because it is couducted by the most relig
ious people In the world and backed up by the
best, most holy, most self-sacrindug, most
faithful and most uncompromising priesthood
in the world, (great cheering.) It is not an
unjust movement, calculated or designed to
ilo injury to anybody. We repudiate that
charge. We say we do not intend to do injury
to any mortal man. We recognize the rights
of owners of the soil, and we recognize our
own rights at tho same time; and while we
give to C&sar the things that are Ca^ar's, we
will assert for ourselves the things that are
ours. (Loud cheers.) What we want is a
chance for our lives in our own country, and
we will forget the past. We will forget the
nuiTiberlc3s tyrannies of England; we will for
get all tbn tears we have shed; we will forget
the massacres that have been com
milted, the extermination of our
race, and the downfall, so far
as possible for them to accomplish, of our
dear country, ninl we will begin a n»w score
with the dominant country. We will let
them see wo are not only able to flourish a
brand, but that in our land we cannot be sup
pressed. (Cheers.) I hear of disagreement
among the leaders of the people, but these
I things are exaggerated. Our phalanx ia un
broken; our spirit la unsubdued, and the re
sult is therefore as clear as day. We must

The Virginia lte:i<lj listers in Convention—
Speeches by tho Chairman and itMMiono
tolling the Party and Millions — Trou
bled With Too Many Candidates. t -j ' \.
Richmond, Va., June 2.— The Readjuster
State convention was called to order by Gen.
Boiling in the absence of Malioue, chairman
of the State Central committee. Hon. J. Paul
-was.appointed temporary chairman. He made
a brief but stirring address, and committees
on credentials aud permanent organization
wer« nppointeJ. There are over seven hun
dred delegates present, including seventy-five
oolo'.'cd men.
Mr. Paul, in his speech, congratulated the
delegates upon the proud position their party
holds to-day in the parties of this country.
They were no longer held up to the world us
a pitiful party of repudiation, bnt were rec
ognized everywhere as the honest and only
debt paying party in the State. They had es
tablished their repntation as a party of men
who are jealous of the honor of their native
State, and who were ever ready to protect
her glory from stain or tarnish. You
have ahown to the world when
you say you are goiug to pay
you mean to do it, and that you intend to pay
the last dollar you honestly owe. After fifteen
years it has remained for the Readjuster party
to come to the front and break down the bar
riers of prejudice by proclaiming a liberal and
progressive policy. The Readjuster party of
Virginia was the only independent organiza
tion that had made itself felt in the politics of
the country. The remarks of Mr. Paul were
received with great applause.
After recess Mr. Paul was made permanent
chairman, and a committee on resolutions and
platform was appointed.
General Mahone was recognized ou the stage
and Was most enthusiastically called upon for
a speech. He said as follows: I greet you,
my friends, fellow citizenf, with my earnest
compliments, and I beg to assure you of the
supreme gratification which I have at this as
semblage of my fellow citizens. It fills my
measure of loyal ambition for this people and
to this State. It testifies to me in words the
wariath which I will never forget, your ap
proval of my public conduct. It doubly as
sures me there exists in the bosoms
of this people true devotion
to the Jettersoniau principles of government.
It assurer me the people of this State in their
might aud sovereign power are here to say to
the States of this Union, that Virginia i 9 to be
put in cordial relations with the government.
It assures me that in the future her fate and
that of her people, are to be for freedom and
progress In this land. It assures me that free
dom of opinion is to rule in all matters which
relate to men. You sent me to the national
capital as your representative, chosen
without solicitation or pledge on my
part, except the personal responsi
bility of earnest devotion to serve
this peoplu wherever they saw fit to put me.
No sooner was I called to the capital to answer
for you than the policy of terrorism was put
iv practice to silence your representative. I
would be recreant to manhood did I not main
lain that 1 Wiis there to voice the manhood of
this people — there to oppose D-mocratic Bour
boriism, which attempted to dictate to the Re
adjiJMw party of this State — and was not there
to do the bidding uf ineu claiming to be -the
Democratic party, but who would throttle free
opinions and free ballot. I want no more of
that Democracy. You are here to give effect
to equal rights, free ballot and honest count,
maintain economy is the State government
and support the present system of education.
You are here to say to your representatives in
Congress they must represent the true interests
of the. people of this State, and not represent a
Denioeratle-Bourbon caucus. You are here to
free these people from Bourbon domina
tion, and lift the blight of
Bourbon Democracy which has set
upon us. You are to restore the old State
and her people to the most cor
dial relaliouswith all the people of our com
raon country and put an end to sectional con
tests, and obliterate race distinctions. Gen
Mahone concluded by urging harmony, and
that to whomsoever they gave their banner
they should stand to him lo a man in the
great light which Virginia is to make for
freedom and the freedom of their posterity.
There was great applause during its' de
livery, and at the close of the speech resolu
tions approving Qen. Mahone's course in the
United States Senate were adopted unnnl
inously.
A platform of principles was adopted, aud
the convention proceeded to the nomination of
candidates for State officers.
The following were nominated for governor?
J. E. Massey, Albemarle, the present State
advocate; Col. W. E. Cameron, mayor of
Petersburg; Gen. Y. D. Greener, Norfolk, and

Permanent Improvements and Shop Jinild
• •_ ings. .
The new roadway upon which the Chicago,
St. Paul & Omaha company ia engaged this
year is limited to • completion of its •• North
Wisconsin and Nebraska divisions, on each of
which a large force is at work and will be em
ployed throughout the roadmaking season.
These will make a large addition to the mile
age of the company . but will hardly cost so
much as the permanent improvements the
company is , making along its main
lines. These include relaying of the
road with steel.and replacing wooden bridges,
etc., with permanent structures of iron and
stone. Among the most important bridges is
the one just finished over the Chippewa river
at Eau. Claire — a handsome and strong iron
bridge, 880 feet long, resting on stone piers
and abutments eighty-four feet above the
river. This takes the place of the wooden
bridge which withstood the great flood of last
June, but was at one time thought to be in
danger from the . log jams. Another, being
built over the Eau Claire river, will be 474 feet
long. A .new iron drawbridge, 320
feet long, has been placed in the bridge
over Lake St. Croix at Hudson, and the eleven
other spans of that crossing are to be replaced
this year with . iron superstructure on stone
piers. This will complete the permanent re
construction of important bridges of the East
ern division. The relaying of this division
with steel rails is nearly done; the St. Paul
division is wholly relaid, and the Sioux City
I division will be all I relaid before fall," so that
I by the opening of the fall movement of coun
try products the main tracK will be all steel
from Elroy to Sioux City.
Building operations on the new shop
grounds in the Fourth -ward, this city, ' have j
been resumed, under immediate direction of
Chief Engineer C. W. Johnson and will be
prosecuted this year "to ; completion of the
buildings for which the foundations are laid.
These are, the machine shop, 250 by 120 feet,
the blacksmith shop, 60 by 120 feet, and : the
boiler and tin shop, 60 by 120 feet. The offi
ces of the master mechanic and assistants will
be in one end of the machine shop building. A
transfer table and tracks necessary for use of
the shops will be put in this year and 'at an
early time, but probably notiill next spring,
the twenty-stall engine house" will be doubled
in size and capacity. ~
The Little Falls & Dakota Railroad.
The Tribune of Sauk Center, in its issue of
this week, in a double-leaded article, under a
displayed caption, recites the facts of the visit
of Director Oakes, General Manager Haupt
and Chief Engineer Anderson, of the Northern
Pacific, and CoU. J. B. Fish and Wm. Crooks,
St. Paul, to Little Falls and Sank Center, and
their projected further journeying across the
country through Glenwood to Morris and
Ortouville, and reasonably enough
connects this trip with negotiations for build
ing the road. It is natural enough, also, that
the people of Sauk Centre should take the
hopeful view of the situation, and that the
editor should "confidently look forsubstaue
tial results," but we think the general tenor
of the article places too much stress upon this
sentence: "Col. Crooks is authority for the
statement that the immediate construction of
the road is a certainty." Col. Crooks is right
ly confident that a railroad project backed
by lands and local bonds to the extent of
nearly $7,000 a mile and fairly promising to
have, when the road is built, a large local and
through traffic, cannot long go begging for
builders in this era of liberal railroad invest
ment. But it is a question whether the
Northern Pacific or any other company at
present interested in that part of the State can
untertake to build it. Other companies
could interfere to make the project less prom
ising, and at least one other company inter
ested has officially declared that it will make
poor property of any railroad which invades
its proper territory. In view of this a
premature announcement of purpose to build
such a rond is likely to injure the project. The
Globe Is authorized to say that no arrange
ment for building the Little Fdls & Dakota
road or for transfer of the project to the North
ern Pacific, has been made nor arc negotiations
to that end pending. Mr. Oakes simply viewed
the proposed line on invitation of a personal
friend interested in the project.

The elevator people will be all ready
to load the Victory's Oarges for New Orleans,
whenever they are at hand. This venture at
tracts the attention of shippers all along the
upper river and is telegraphed through the
country as a matter of importance to all ship
ping interests. Railroad men are waiting the
result with interest, knowing that if this grain
shipment by water from St. Paul to Glasgow
is successful they must further reduce their
freight rates or cease to carry all the grain of
the Mississippi valley.

?■'■,■,.; r ■ orations.
St. Louis. Juuo I.— John S. Fitz.&trlckaiid E.
V. King, i lie supposed robbers of Qeo. Grant* bag
gage, were brought bete this morning by Detectives
Byers and Stewart. King was arrested last night at
Sedills. Ho wa«< a brakoman instead of ft baggage
man, aud says he obtained the medals and badges
from a colored porter on tho sleeping . oar of the
special train that took Gen. Grant from here, and bo
gave him $20 for them. This story is not believed
by the detectives." Titzpatrick says he Uco noth
ing about the. rubi;ei y, had nothing to do with It and
that when he first saw the badges la the possession
of King ho advised him to either send them to Gen*
Grant or to notify that gentleman that he (King) had
thorn and state how they could be recovered.
It is very difficult to get a connected and coherent
account of this affair according to the statement of
W. H. Bjrers, detective of the Iron Mountain rail
road. Kins: win brakeman on the Tear end of tbe
train to which the car conaalolog the (*. nut party
was attached, and had access to tho (pedal car.
Kttzpatrlck was not on the tram at all. Dyera taluks
Kiug robbed Grant's baggage at night when the
i arty was asleep, and when he wet Fitzpatrick, v. ho
i) an old friend, they went on a spre •, ami while
drunk produced the decorations a: d huog them on
his and Fitzpatrlclt'n clothes. He don't think Fitz
patrlck had anything to do with ttie rubbery. Fitz
patiick was found at work In tbe Adams express of
nee at Kansas City, and from him It was learned
th it King was going dow/i as express messenger
from Sedalia, Mo , to Dentson, Taxas, on the Mis
son'), Kansas & Texas lallway. Byers and btewdrt
at once started for gedalia, taking Fitzpatrick along,
and found King at the Adams express otHco He
offered no objection, simply asking the privilege of
getting his valUe. King destines to say anything
farther than that he bought the badges from tbe
porter of a sleeping car, th it he intended to keep
them until (*eu. Grant returned from Mexico, and
then get a reward Fitzpatrlck says bo and King
got on a big drank, and when In woke up ha found
the breast of his coat covered with a Maltese cross,
Russian bear and other costly decorations. As soon
Mhe discovered what they were he took thfiu off
and begged King for God's sake to tend them
to Washington to be held until Grant return
ed there - He does not know,ho says, what King did
with them, but he and King came north, -and went to
work at Kansas City. He further says he and King
have known e:ch other all their lives, that i hey were
brought up together In Louisville, Ky., and that
King's reputation is good. .and that he is well con
nected In Louisville. Neither the police nor the rail
road men have obtained all the decorations seen la
the possession of tha3o men, bat It is believed that
they and still others will bo secured, for It is
thought toat perhaps ', all the presents
that -Gen.' Grant -■•' had, inapttding
gold snuff boxes and jewelry of various kinds, were
plundered. Of this, however, nothing definite can
be known until Gen. Giant arrives from New Orleans
and furnishes a list and description of the articles be
had with him. A very singular part of the affair is
lint, if Gen. Grant was really robbed, nothing
thould have been heard of it, for it Is hardly pos
sible that he should not have discovered his loss,
sod having discovered it, should not have made
at known, and taien measures to recover his
prooerty. ; „ ■ . ' ' -

Special Counsel Employed to Prosecute

Not Likely to be Begun Before Septem
ber.
Washington, June 2.— C01. W. A. Crook,
special counsel secured by tlie government to
prosecute those implicated in the star route
fraud, to-day took the oath of office, aud went
into au examination of the evidence so far
gathered by the Investigation under Postmas
ter General James. He will prepare
the cases for the ■ grand Jury,"
and have their entire management,
under supervision and direction of Attorney
General MacVeagh. The attorney general,
to-day, said to a correspondent of the Western
Associated Press, that there was no hurry in
bringing the matter before the grand jury of
the district, but that the fact that a special
counsel had been employed to aid indicated
that the government was nearly ready to com
mence the prosecution. He thought, he said;
and would certainly be pretty confident
that such was - the .. case before'
any move was made. . The cases to be
presented by the government would be sus
tained before a jury of twelve men. .There had
been some difficulty, he contended, in procur
ing testimony on some important points, but'
the investigation of James was very rapidly
supplying that deficiency. It Is not consider
ed at all likely the cases will be presented to
the grand jury at the present term. The next,
which is called the June term, will commence
the 20th inst. The con# usually takes a re
cess to September so the presentation of the
matter to the grand jury may be delayed until
then. The attorney general and all connected
with the matter officially refuses to say any
thing concerning who will be brought before
the grand jury for indictment. - There is an t
uncertain feeling among mail contractors and -
officials who i are • reported involved in the
frauds. The contractors are either here them
selves or have their interests looked after by
special counsel. . . . - ". •
