BLISS BLISTERED.
The Interview That Le«l to the Removal
of Marshal Henry—A Caustic Estimate
or the Charao'ee of Bliss.
Cleveland, Nov. —The interview re
ferred to in the letters of Attorney Gen
eral Brewster and District Attorney Bliss
as " sufficient cause for tHe removal of
Marshal C. 5. Henry, first appeared in the
Youngßtown Jieirs-Register, Jane 3, is .as
follows:
'•What is there in the statement made by
Bliss, that you had been subjected to the
influence of J»hn W. Dorsey, and had
made promises not to push vigorously the
star route cases against him
Marshal Henry answered: '-Not even
the substance of a shadow. I understand
that Bliss says that while the jury was being
drawn in the star route ~'. cases, * Dorsey
called at my office and remained several
hoars, and that while there he extracted
from me a promise that I would favor
him and not use active measures in assist-'
ing the prosecution. -The' only time Dor
sey was ever in my office was one day
when he called and asked me for a match
to light a cigar. The deputy \in the
room, that Dorsey entered arose, and
securing a box of matches, tore off the
stamp and handed the box to him. Dor
sey said: ';I guess I'll take three or four."
The deputy replied: "You can have as
many as you want." Dorsey placed sev
eral in his pocket, and handed the box
back to the deputy. Doreey then passed
out.
I was in an adjoining room and recogniz
ed Dorsey's voice talking to the deputy, but
he did not come into my room, neither
saw nor heard me, nor made any inquiry
after me. That is all there is to this sen
sation that Bliss is try in to make. He
don't amount to much. He i; too full of
downright meanness to amount to any
thing. He 13 a fellow whom Horace Gree
-17 suggested should be branded "Decoy
Bliss," and the appellation suits him. His
efforts to override the most commen
laws of decency have been met by a storm
of rebuke by Judge Wyley, each time he
attempted to carry on his bravado :'n
court. Judge Wjley is a stern old Vir
ginian, incorruptible sip justice, and hews
to the lin no matter where the chips fall.
When Bliss in '.i mated that the" defendants
in the star route cases were in court,
through the convenience of their attorney,
Bob Ingersoll. one of the counsel arose
and pointing his finger at
Bliss, while his eyes sparkled with
suppressed passion thundered out,
"That's a lie and you are a liar." Bli«s
cowered like a dog, and had still further
cause to regret his insinuations when
Judge Wyley gave him a most . stinging
reprimand. Any . person whom Bliss dis
trust.- —and I have failed to find whom he
does not—he is liable to at any moment
feel the venom of his treacherous tongue
coming from some unexpected quarter.
It is probable that he even suspects him
self at times, as when he carries his pocket
book in his left . pocket, his eyes are con
;inu;diy wandering toward . his left hand,
through fear that it mny give him the s>lip
auii get hold of the moaey without his be
ing awate of the fact. Bliss is continually
trying to hedge and throw distrust on the
■administration of President Gartield, and
.those who know Bliss be.*t, pay bat little
attention to the pompous fellow."

More Cutting. ..-.'•>-'
The Royal Route announces a cut-rat*
from Valley Junction and Camp Douglas
jnnction points with the Chicago, Milwau
kee & St. Paul road to St. Paul and Minne
apolis of $2, being a reduction of $5.60 om
regular rates. Last night the Royal Route
started their traveling man to* post the
Milwaukee road from La Crosne to Water
town, and from Tomah to Wausau, and
there is no doubt but that this ; cut-rate
will draw a large travel over the Royal
Route. The Royal Route also announces a
$3 rate to Chicago via St. Paul from Wood
stock. This rate will draw a large travel
from Pipestone, Fulda, Edgerton and
other points on the Milwaukee road that
has heretofore gone through La Crosse.
All the cuts of J the Royal Route in Minne
sota helps St. Paul, as their travel all goes
through St. Paul.
Th* Latest Freight Cuts.
[Special Telegram to the Globe. 1
Chicago, Nor. Contrary to expec
tations, the Milwaukee & St. Paul did not
take any further retaliatory measures on
passenger business yesterday. It still
maintains its cut on Rock Island & Daven
port business, and last night brought five
coaches of passengers from Rock Island.
The Rock Island announced a few new
northwestern points at which cut rates
would apply, but in the afternoon this
road withdrew its fifty cent rate to Cedar
Rapids, and substituted schedule rates.
Though the Milwaukee & St. Paul mad*
no move on passenger business yesterday,
it took a position on freight that is of
more importance than anything an
nounced. Mr. C. J. Eddy, commercial
agent of that road, last, night
announced a ten cent rate
on all classes of freight from Chicago to
Sioux City, Sioux Fall; Sheldon, Winne
bago, Mankato and Faribault. This sweep
ing reduction would be important even if
it affected only the points mentioned, but
it goes much further, and aff«cts all busi
ness designed for ; St. Paul ior Omaha.
Freight can be sent to Sioux City at ten
cants and re-billed from that point to
Omaha at local rates, the distance being
only 188 miles, leaving a margin of from
twenty to fifty cents, and really cutting
the Omaha rate to that extent. - Moreover,
the Illinois Central, which is the main line
to Sioux City, hns announced that any rate
■':;;",;- ■>;<•■■ >-..•«-■ »p»r* u.^-.t
will duplicate on Oinaha. This makes a ten
c«aii raw tioiii Oausugu to Omaha
via the Illinois Central. The Northwest
ern announces that it will take freight to
Sioux City and the competitive points at
as low rates as any rival lines. The te*
cent rate to Faribault is as clear a case of
cut rate to St. Paul as the Rock Island's
fifty-cent passenger rate to Chaska is.
Faribault is within sixty-two miles of St.
•Paul, and freight can pay ten cents to that
point and the local rate from there to St.
Paul, and thus cut the through rate. to S».
Paul very considerably. Pool regulations
impose a fine on any direct cut of rates to
St. Paul, and this method avoids breaking
the contract. The Rock Island, however,
cannot complain, as it first set the example
by cutting passenger business to Albert
Lea and Chaska. It is considered that
these cuts will injure the Milwaukee & St.
Paul's earnings more than those of th*
Rock Island. which is the indirect route
to these points, and consequently carries
little of the business at fall rates.
Hvery move of the warring roads seems
to be to carry the war further north amd
northwest, where the Rock Island has little
to lose and the Milwaukee & St. Paul and
the Northwestern everything. The fight is
a little hard on the Chicago, St. Paul, Min
neapolis «k Omaha, but the Bock Island ia
little affected except by the cut on
local business to und from R»ck
Island and Davenport, For boh*
unknown reason the Milwaukee * St
Panl seems to b« afraid to carry the war
to points where it could absolutely annihi
late the Rock Island's earnings, and more
than comipeunate tht cut on northwestern
busicess. The Milwaukee & St. Paul is
not included in the Council Blufffc pool,
and if it would make a sweeping cut on
that point and Dcs Moines, it is consid
ered that the first measures for peact
would have been taken. The Milwaukee
<fc St. Paul has nothing to fear from the
Burlington or any of the southwestern
roads. These lines would really be the
allies of the Milwaukee & St. Paul, for
while they could not retaliate
on the Milwaukee A St. Paul,
or Northwestern, they could rake the Rock
Island at a very important point. Of
course the Rock Island would in that case
turn its guns on Kansas and the South
west, but between the Northwestern and
the Milwaukee & St. Paul on the north,
and the Burlington, Alton «fc Wabash on
the south, the Rock Island would be kept
in a frame of mind which it is thought
would not be conducive to peaceful med
itations. The first step in bringing about
this state of things is to involve the Coun
cil Bluffs business, and careful observers
of the war express wonder that this course
has not been pursued before by the Mil
waukee <fc St. Paul. It is intimated that
the Milwaukee &. St. Paul is afraid of the
Northwestern, but as against the Rock Is
land their interests are identical. These two
roads have pooled their issues aerainst the
| Rock Island on all other points, and the
i Northwestern even contemplated at one
j time aiding the St. Paul road by making a
j cut on Davenport, and running trains to
I Fulton and then to Rock Island over the
J tracks of the Milwaukee & St. Panl.
It was intimated last night that the Mil
i waukee & St. Paul management had deter
| mined to rest its case over Sunday, and on
j Monday morning to move on the Council
; Bluffs passenger business,and to cut freight
1 rates to local points so near to Council
Bluffs tk at it will virtually make a cnt
freight rate to that point.
The present campaign seems te have been
one of errors. The Milwaukee & St. Paul
began by making a cut passenger rate to
Sionx City and withdrawing it on the fol
lowing day. It was credited with having
made a flat rate from Albert Lea to St.
Paul which allowed all its local business be- i
tweeen Albert Lee and St. Paul to be cut. j
The Rock Island cut Moline and Rock Is
land but withdrew the order the next day,
and carried the cut to Cedar Rapids, thus
j brilliantly transferring all the cut rate
; through business to Cedar Rapids, where
it was turned over to the Northwestern or
Milwaukee <fe St. Paul, whereas, had the
Cedar Rapids cut not been made, this
bnsiness would have gone to Rock Island,
and from there been taken west by the
Rock Island road at local rates ,and would
not have gone into the
pool. The Rock Island yesterday
withdrew the Cedar Rapids cut, aud now
it will carry the cut rate business from
Davenport, while it is thought the Milwau
kee & St. Paul will not be to injure
the local business of the Rock Island to
any great extent.
Railroad men say that there is no indi
cation ml an immediate cessation of hos
tilities. Each of the roads stand firmly
by the position it took some months ago,
and the impression prevails that on Mon
day further aggressive steps will be taken.

Chicago, Nov. 26. —It was expected that
a meeting of the Southwestern ro:icl? to ad
just passenger matters would be held on
Tuesday, but the meeting has been indefi
nitely postponed. The object of this meet
ing will be the consideration ©f methods
to prevent scalpers under-selling the regu
lar rate to Kansas City and St. Louis. It
is estimated that the recent increase cf
rates to Kansas City and St. Louis wiii be
withdrawn.

traffic manager, A. V. H. Carpenter, gen
passenger agent, and J. T. Clark, general
superintendent ot the Milwaukee & St.
Paul, have started for California. It
seems that the heads of the traffic and
passenger department of that road have
become disgusted because not allowed to
carry on the tight with the Hock Island as
they wish, and don't care how the tight is
conducted, and are willing to leave it in
the hands of subordinates.

| Special Telegram to the Globe. |
Omaha, Neb., Nov. L'C—The Chicago,
Minneapolis, St. Paul & Omaha line, which
announced a freight cut yesterday of 25
cents per hundred pounds from Omaha to
Chicago via its line to Sioux City and
thence over the Illinois Central, makes
another freight cut, reducing its rate of
yesterday to 15 cents, with an intimation
that rates may go still lower. The Omaha
pool claim that they are capturing consid
erable freight business.
llisci'Hanron.s.
The special cut rate ticket office of the
Royal Route, on Sibley street, is in full
bloom and is covered with red flags and
streamers, and is full of business.
The new ticket office of the Chicago,
Milwaukee «5b St. Paul road, on Sibley
street, is completed, and it is a very neat
affair. It is expected that it will be*in full
operation to-day, prepared to furnish tick
ets to all. It stands in a very favorable
location.
Matters in railroad circles were rather
quiet in St. Paul yesterdy, and everybody
was resting. As Judge Chandler remarked,
it was a day of rest. Travel, of course,
was limited, as but few trains compara
tively, were leaving. At night, however,
when the east bound trains left they were
all crowded,
Messrs. Brown and Kneble, the ticket
agents at the union depot, heartily wish
this "cruel war" was over. It imposes a
good deaLmore than double duty upon them
in the ordinary way of selling tickets, be
sides which they have to meet and pay the
rebates on all the travel coming into the
city over the roads on which there have
been cuts. These rebates run $700 or §800
per day, and have run as high as $1,300.
They ftnd considerable difficulty in procur
ing change, and have posted a notice on
the counter for all persons to leave their
silver dollars. Theyifind these indispensa

Washington, Nov. 26.— In an interview
George C. Gorham says:
; "I cannot conceive of any excuse 'the
President could make for not convening
the senate in extra session. - Should he fail
to do so there would be nobody between
him and anarchy. >: There will be no presi
dent pro tern., no speaker, no anybody. If
it were a Democratip senate I should favor,
under the present circumstances, an extra,
session." :v^\V- ■':;'■"'■'"■';.V-;-'v..L >.. ,'^^i'., \:";v : r.,
.Speaking of his candidacy for the sec
retaryship of;the senate, Mr. Gbrham said:
"Some of the .. newspaper correspondents
here and editors of some of the leading
newspapers of the country'; basing their
judgment upon the matter furnished by
their correspondents, have said" that there
were no Republican members of the senate
who would vote for me, when the fact .was
I had been nominated in caucus. I think
I know my relations with the Republican
senators better than anyone else, and I am
satisfied that if I receive the caucus nomi
nation I will "be eleted. To bent me my
enemies, if I have my party, must do it hi
caucus. If they beat me there lam con
tent. If they fail in the caucus, they will
fail in the senate."
"•Mr. Gorham does not believe that the
half breed senators will continue with the
Democrats for the pnrpose of defeating
him. . -. ' H
There has been a common feeling that
the president was not 'wholly in earnest in
his support of the prosecution in the star
route crass not that he sympathized with
the guilty persons, but that his regard for
Dor*ey as a man and a politician preju
diced him so thoroughly in favor of * Dor
se\'s innocence that he decide lyp eferred
an acquittal to a conviction." in « remov
als of yesterday and other evidence that
now comes to light show that this feeling
did the president an injary. Whatever re
gard he may have had for Mr. Doraey, lie
is and has been determined that the gov
ernment should hare every opportunity of
procuring a conviction if possible. Mr. K. J.
Mogrick says that the president desired
from the beginning that no stone be left
unturned to convict the guilty whoever
they might be. The removal of live offi
cials for obstructing the prosecution of
the star route gang is a fair notice to all
concerned that a man must not draw a
salary from the government and devote
his energies to obstructing the govern
ment in its prosecution of its offenders.
The five decapitations do not exhaust the
black list. Those who,ire spared this time
may secure immunity by ' a prompt and
radical reform, but this is doubtful. The

Air. S. P. Rounds, the public printer, holds
■his office by a very slender tenure.
It is another case of the "?/icked
partner.':! Nobody thiuka Mr. Rounds
would do anything out of the way. but iti*
assumed that when he came here to gel
bis place ho was captured by the Evening
Critic gang. Mr. Bounds' amiability
makes him an easy man to work and the
Critic crowd is a hard one. It became r.p
parent to his friends that the gang would
get him into trouble if he didn't get rid of
them. A warning to that effect seemed
at first to have some effect, but when he
came back here, after getting his appoint
ment, Helm and Childs and other?, known
generally as the Critic crowd, got around
him and engratiated themselves with him,
and the result became immediately, appa
rent after he took hold of the office, Childs
had been chief clerk and been dismissed.
He wanted to get the place again merely
to get the other fellow discharged and get
his revenge. Mr. Rounds accommodated
him. The chief clerk was removed. Childs
went in and then resigned, and let Cadet
Taylor, of Wenona, 111., in. linger is re
moved ostensibly for expressing his sym
pathies with the defense and attacking the .
prosecution in a paper in Michigan owned
by him, but there are other reasons. Ain
ger, and Parker, his assistant, were in the
the department at the time the: star route
gang were rioting around in expeditions,
and are believed to have not only known of
the pig stealing, but to have some of the
. pork. Furthermore, railroad companies
I that deliver to the office here have in
[ curred penalties, but have not been re
i ported' as delinquent. This may get these
gentlemen into more trouble than removal. ;
The reasons for Spencers removal are
known to everybody. ■ ■ "
