The First Session.
It was 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon be
fore tho representatives of the transconti
nental lines got together, the call being for
11 o'clock in the forenoon, at the Ryan?
The meeting was called to order by Gen
eral Agent Cannon, and the first thing in j
order of affairs was the electing of a chair
man. T. F. Oakes, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Northern Pacific road,
who served in this position at the former
meetings, was unanimously selected as the
most fitted for the chair, and ho he took it.
W.S.Jordan took his place as secretary
and the association organized. Then com
menced a discussion on matters of general
policy and matters of freight and passen
ger business, which departments hold sepa
rate meetings. These will convene again
at an early day, as soon as several matters
under the executive committee, general
managers, are arranged. The Central
Pacific representatives, freight, gave
his views on tho : percentages
that were awarded last spring, and
thought they were not properly divided.
Ho did not complain on the part of his com
pany but on general principles, and said
that if they were readjusted it would be
more satisfactory to all. The Southern
Pacific did not take thearbitory position,
that was supposed it would, but of course
asked for a reaward of percentages, but in a
wilder tone than it did at previous meet
ings.
Tho report that it carried To per cent, of
the Transcontinental business during the
six months previous to the award of per
centages has been misunderstood. It carried
this per cent, of New York business alone,
and business from other points was prettly
evenly distributed among the other lines.
Nothing much of any importance was done
nt yesterday's meeting, unless it was that
tin lines understood each other much better
than nt any other time, and if this was ac
tion them Juts was accomplished.
They were harmonious in every sense of
the word, and the prospects are bright for
an adjustment of matters and a, perpetuity
at the pool, It is generally the case when
bo many roads are associated in a pool that
four or live of them which are the strongest
competitors over each other wrangle among
themselves and cause strife to the annoy
ance of the whole outfit. These linos caus
ing the trouble are generally the weaker
lines, and are always dissatisfied unless
they receive the same per cent, as the
stronger lines receive. The meeting will
be called at 9 o'clock this forenoon, and the
different agent 3 will propose and submit
schemes for the adjustment and continu
ance of the pool.
MAY BE STRIFE.
A representative said last night that while
nil was harmony to-day if is not likely to be
bo all the week. The Central Pacific lias
not showed its hand yet. It has been in
clined for some time to make trouble, but !
has had an object in going about it in a
quiet way. It has thrown obstacles in the
way of competing and connecting
roads whenever opportunity offered.
Its groat object has been and is to capture
the business of the Southern Pacific by
systematically cutting the rates and at the I
same time embarass the California fast
freight line, which was recently organized,
by preventing as far as possible, freight
going via the overland routes. It has also
asked Commissioner Cannon not to make
any settlements under the award which was
made by Arbitrators Bogue, Gray and
Ford.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
Atlantic & Pacific have representatives
present They will not compete much for
California business until they have com
pleted their new road to San Diego, which
will give thorn an independent outlet to San
Francisco This line will be completed by
November, and ii Is barely possible that these
two lines will not accept an award until
they show what they can carry over this
new route.
General Manager Potter of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy is present and it is ex
pected that the Burlington and Denver &
Rio Grande will join issues and work in
unity. If there should be an outbreak the
Central Pacific will doubtless stand aloof
from the Union Pacific as these two com
panies have not been friendly since
the latter company secured its Port
land outlet. The Burlington & Quincy and
Denver & Rio Grande roads will then
come along and be to the Central what the
Union Pacific has been. The Burlington
and Kio Grande are, perhaps, if anything,
less friendly with the Union Pacific than
the latter is with the Central, and they
may (ivlii each other unsparingly. The
Central will in any case have business, as
it is the only outlet to California.

TKKMINAL FACILITIES.
The policy of the company in ■ acquiring
ample terminal facilities at all important
points and providing convenient freight and
transfer yards has been continued. Par
ticular attention is called to the fact that
our yard, passing and side tracks, now
amount to SOS miles, enabling us to handle
our traffic with economy and promptness.
The movement of traffic between points
upon the lines of this company and tlio
head of Lake Superior under the traffic
contract with the St. Paul «$: Duluth rail
way between llickley and Duluth has
shown each year a marked increase, and
the feet that Dulutli furnishes a higher
market for the spring wheat raised in the
Northwest than either Chicago or Milwau
kee has made it necessary for us to own and
control sufficient terminals to accommodate
our business at that point. For this pur
pose we have purchased at West Superior a
large tract of land conveniently situated for
the location of elevators, roundhouses,
warehouses, coal and other docks and the
necessary room for freight yards, etc. This
laud is well located, adjoining the tracks of
the Lake Superior Terminal and Transfer
company, in which this company owns an
interest; also the tracks of the Northern Pa
cific and Omaha railways, and can be
readily improved at a reasonable cost. The
board of directors recommend the immedi
ate erection of one or more elevators on this
ground, to be either owned or controlled by
the company. J. J. Hill, President.

"Sfno Cents Cliicasro to New York.
Special to the Globe.
Chicago, Sept. B.—East-bound freight
rates to-day still remained at low water
marl: without any prospect of an advance.
In fact the tendency is toward lower lates,
and it was stated that one of the lines made
a nine cen rate on grain to New York. The
open rate was 10 cents, all of the lines tak
ing it at that figure, except the Grand
Trunk, which declares that it is out of the
market. Ten cents was the ruling rate on
provisions, with the same exception, and
the Vanderbilt lines, the latter claiming to
be holding for 13 cents. The Milwaukee
rates, so telegrams state, are 10 cents to
New York on both Hour and provisions,
and other pool points make the Chicago
rates their basis. No movement is being
made for an advance. The agents have
abandoned their tri- weekly .and all other
meetings, and are awaiting the action of
the managers, leaving the trouble to be
regulated or not. as the latter may see lit to
do. Demoralization never reigned more
completely than at present.
The Biirlinsion^ St. Paul Plans.
General Manager Patter of the Burling
ton, who is here attending the Transcon
tinental meeting, when asked by a Globe
reporter about the extension of his lino to
St. Paul, said it had been the intention of
bis company to do that for years, and now
that the plan was perfected the work would
be bushed to the utmost. "Why," said he,
"in ten months we shall have 2,000 men at
work on the line." But when asked as to
the inter change of stock between the Burl
ington & Manitoba, lie naively remarked
that he had never heard of it. He was non
committal on everything, but the plans of
the Burlington to push its lines into St.
Paul and the Northwest with all possible
dispatch.

Ireland's Cause.
Ijtdianai'OLlS, Ind., Sept. B.—A largo
meeting of citizens was held to-night at
Masonic hall to indorse Mr. Parnell In his
present political career respecting Ireland.
Hon. John E. Lamb of Terre Haute, pro
sided, and speeches ■were made by Vice
President Hendricks and by Mayor Mc-
Master of this city, the latter a Republican.
Resolutions were adopted of sympathy
and encouragement with Mr. Parnell and
the Irish party. Mr. Hendricks
spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman and fel
low citizens: Always, whatever may be
her condition, Ireland will lind devoted aud
steadfast friends in the United States.
Some years ago I was called upon to attend
a meeting of another nationality. When the
war >vas pending between France and
Prussia the Germans of this city held a large
and interesting meeeting to express their
sympathy in the course of Germany, In that
controversy. 1 felt it right then to partici
pate in that meeting, because the sous of
Germany were deeply interested in that
contest. This is no contest between navies
or between armies for the establishment of
good government in Ireland, and very
specially do I enjoy participating and join
ing with you Irishmen and Irish women in
expressing the sentiments you express on
this occasion. What shall be the
government of Ireland:' For many years it
lias not been a controverted question that
Ireland has been dealt foully by. It is
known the world over that Ireland, from
the day of Henry I. to this hour, has not
had fair play from Great Britain. On the
contrary, she has been denied the rights of
equal citizenship and been despoiled of
lands. Every Irishman here to-night, every
Irishman in America is a protest against
the
BAD GOVERNMENT OF ENGLAND
towards Ireland. How is it that you are
here? Having left almost the most beauti
ful land in the world? Perhaps no part of
this is more attractive than Ireland, and yet
you left Ireland. You are here because you
could not get good government in Ireland.
Forty-live years ago the population
of the Green Isle was nine
"millions of people, a large
population for a region of only the size of
Indiana. To-day, after the lapse of forty
live years, that population is only 5,000,000,
a loss in less than half a century of 4,000,
--000 people—almost half the entire popula
tion gone from Ireland. I know
the famine of ISI3 iiad much to
do with this, but bad government j
and cruelties by her landlords have done
more than famine and pestilence to de
populate the beautiful isle. It cannot al
ways be that the people of Ireland are to
be oppressed. I think the day of tyranny
in every form is to pass away, and that the
day is soon to come when all men will be
ble3t with good government and equal
laws. It is well enough for you
and me to understand just what the polit
ical contestls in Ireland. I went to pay a
visit to the house of commons a few years
ago and heard this cause. Mr. Parnell
then, as now, was the leader and held that
in respect to her domestic affairs Ireland
should have the right to make her own
laws. There are this fall ioo members of
parliament to be elected from Ireland, and
Mr. Parnell expects that of the number his
cause will carry eighty or eighty-five,
so that when parliament meets there will be
of true, tried and reliable friends of Ireland
at least eighty members. They will go
to parliament for the purpose of asserting
the right of local self-government for Ire
land. What a beautiful system that will
be! They get it from you
IRISHMEN IN AMERICA.
nere, as I said, is Indiana, about the same
size as Ireland, differing not more
in extent than half of Marion
county, with a population not more
than half as large as Ireland. We,
here, would allow no man to speak of tak
ing from us the right and power of local
self government. We recognize the right
aud power of the general government, but
what affects you and me, and the people
of Indiana with us, is that Indiana
makes her own laws. The mission of the
men to be sent from Ireland to parliament
is to have for Ireland what we in Indiana
enjoin to claim the right to make her own
laws, simply because we can regulate
our own affairs better than anyone
else can regulate them for us. So,
Irishmen on their own soil, for that same
reason must be the legislators for Ireland.
That was the great argument first asserted
in this country. One hundred years has
established the fact that local self
government with respect to local
affairs is the true system of govern
ment in this world. The great
trouble in Ireland to-day is the lands.
Where there is trouble with the lands in
any country the trouble is exceedingly
great. Much has been done in Ireland to
make better the condition of the tenant,
but the land trouble still exists and
it must be regulated. It must be
regulated as we regulate such matters
in Indiana, by legislators from the soil. Xo
trouble in Indiana between landlord and
tenant. In Indiana that is regulated by
our legislature. Mr. Parnell is a
VSBT GKEAT LEADEK.
1 believe he is going to lead
his countrymen to triumph and
success. It is proper I should say
to you that the friends of your country in
Ireland rely upon the differences between
the two great English parties. Ireland is
thoroughly united in the struggle between
the two English parties. Ireland
will be placed where she ought to
be in her political relations with
the world. Each party seeking strength
from the Irish vote will help place Ireland
where she has the right to stand. Let us
come back to the great question which lies
at the foundation of government, the ques
tion of the right of the people to
make their own laws and that no
other power has a right to make laws for
them. You remember where we stood two
years back. You remember in the
declaration of independence we asserted
the right of men to govern themselves. That
is the great foundation idea of America and
is nowbeing applied in Ireland and the cause
to which you are to give your sympathy
and support—the right of man to govern
himself and to abolish laws that are inim
ical to his welfare. This principle was as
serted at Bunker Hill and in glorious tri
umph it was proclaimed at Yorktown.
(Great applause). The following cable
gram was forwarded to Mr. Parnell after
the close of the meeting:

Murdered for Love.
Urban a, 111., Sept. B.—Much excite
ment exists at St. Joseph, this county, over
three mysterious deaths which have oc
curred within a short time In one family.
Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Peabody were promi
nent . and honored residents, Miss
Belle Hasty, daughter of Hubert Hasty,
and a young woman of fine charac
ter and pleasing manners, lived with the
Peabody family and was said to be engaged
to young Silas Peabody. Young Peabody's
parents, particularly his mother, were op
posed to this marriage, owing to Miss
Ilasty's health. On Aug. 2 Mrs. Peabody
died very suddenly of what appeared to bo
neuralgia of the stomach. On Aug. 11 Mr.
Peabody died with the same symptoms.
On Sept. 1 Miss Hasty and young Silas
Peabody were taken with the same symp
toms and the young lady died
and tho young man has recov
ered. Since that time suspicion has
been awakened by the alleged discovery of
a package of rat poison pinned to an un
dergarment which Miss Hasty had laid off
just before her death, that tho latter had
poisoned Mr. and Mrs. Peabody with the
hopes of marrying tho son, and then con
cluded to kill him and herself. Sunday a
clergyman refused to preach her funeral
sermon until the matter was cleared up.
An investigation will be made.

A Dangerous Assault.
Dick Wilson, a colored cook in the Bruns
wick cafe, was locked up yesterday for
threatening to take the life of Christeua
Soulter, the pastry cook in the same res
taurant. In the afternoon he got drunk
and had some words with Christena and
drew a butcher knife on her, saying that he
would kill-her and Col. Dowe, the proprie
tor, too. The colonel happened to be at
the counter in the front part of the cafe.
Hearing Wilson he rushed back into the
kitchen and found him with his arm around
her neck and a huge knife in his other
hand. He caught the wild coon by the
coat collar, took the knife from him and
succeeded in tiring him out with consider
able difficulty. He then sent for the police,
and Officers Erickson and Chattuck locked
him up. Col. Dowe says that Wilson has
worked for him thirteen years, and he
never knew him to bo drunk before. He
was released on $300 bail last night.
Notes About Town.
Over 500 scholars are enrolled at the
high school. This is the largest ever kuown.
Prof. V. G. Curtis, the superintendent,
made a neat address of welcome to the
scholars of the high school the day of the
openng. The attendance at the Central
and other public, Catholic, German and
French schools is also larger than ever.
The children in attendance at the schools
here probably dress as well as at any other
place in the country. "Just look at those
children," said an old citizen and a gentle
man of travel and culture to the writer on
Monday, pointing to the Central school
scholars. The enthusiastic admirer con
tinued by saying, "I never saw the like
anywhere." The Still water schools, too,
are certainly not excelled.

physic, sir,in mine. My dad told me to use

PLANNING! ~"
About tills time of the year expect much planning from the head
of the house. Considerable line figuring has to be done by every
thoughtful and prudent man, no matter how wealthy he may be, in
order to make Ms income 2:0 as far as possible. To such prudent
and economical men THE BOSTON, St. Paul, offers its services by
selling them only good, honest, well-made Clotliing at as low or lower
prices than the majority of stores sell trash and shoddy for. No
article leaves our store that we do not guarantee to be just as repre
sented; and should it not prove satisfactory after reasonable wear,
we stand ready to make the purchase j money good to the customer,
and, further,
THE BOSTON, ST. PAUL,
Guarantees that the price the customer pays for an article shall bo as low or
lower than the same quality ot goods can be bousrht for in this country. Just
now our new Fall and Winter Stock for 1885-86 is ready for inspection, con
sisting: of Men's and Boys' Fine Suits, Overcoats, Trousers. Odd Garments,
Buffalo and other For Coats, Underwear and Furnishings of all kinds and
Hats and Caps—in fact there is nothing 1 in the outfitting line (excepting shoes)
that a man or boy wears that cannot be found on our counters. We make
special mention of one line of Men's Single Breasted Wool Sack Suits for
Winter. There are about forty-eigfht of this line of Suits left, and, for the
money we think it is the best suit we ever sold. It sells for $10 (sixteen dol
lars), but is worth twenty. The sizes run from thirty-four to forty-four, so
any man can be sure of a good fit. The color of the suit is black, with a white
silk thread running through it, making this neatest possible effect for a
business suit. The linings and trimmings are up to the high standard we
always maintain in all our suits- The lot ia 2,208- Ask or send for one of
these suits; and you will get the best suit you ever bought or ever will buy for
sixteen dollars.
