Thurber, chairman of the commercial union committee of the chamber of com- nerce, wrote to Edward Atkinson, the well- known political cconomist of Boston, for an expression of his views on the subject of commercial union with Canada. Mr. Atkin- son has replied in a long letter, in which he takes the ground that not only does he favor such union, but also that he can discover no valid argument against it. The novel point, in his letter, however, is contained in_a paragraph referring to Novin Scotia, New Brunswick and Cape Breton, the seat of the Gsheries dispute, and which the late Governor Andrews, of Massa- chusetts, isquoted as considering cqual in Productive e Yoric and. Phila- delphia, exclusive of their fisheries. Atkin- son savs the population of these provinees is sowcthing less thin a million people, These people have received little benefit from the great ts in the f on noney chiefly expended but they share the burden of Mr. Atkinson says: “Suppose the 1d buy them at a price equal to their share of Canada's debt £10.000 to would only cost five months sur- plus revenue. Would it be a good bargain for us and would it not be a good bargain for the rovinees and the Dominion? 1t would enable the Dominion to complete the remain- der of its railway system without incu any further danger of.loss of credit.” WANTED T SURANCE.

Our people are present at the rate meeting being held in St. Louis now, und the matter will probably be arranged there.” ur representative called on Union Pa- cific officials this morning and submitted the followng question: “What are your people poing to do about this rate cut advanced by the Burlington 1" “Well, I haven't heard a word yet and don't know as lln{lhlm{ will be done at all. We have so much to attend to just now that we hardly know which way to turn. The fact is, we are overrun with business. There is one thing, however, that you can say. That is, that our folks can run freight mto Colo- rado just as cheap as any her road, and when it comes to friendship, we have as friendly a fecling for Colorado as any road cntering her confines, " ‘Do you think there is liable to be a rate war!" *‘No, there is no need of it. The railroads don't want it. The most of them have their winter's stock of goods already ordercd over some route 8o there would be no actual bene- fit to be gained at this time.” P e FIXING FREIGHT RATES.

Naturally in so small my advent was noted, and on the second day of my stay a lad came to mo with the strango message thatJim Hag- fm-ly was dying and_wanted to see me. went to the small adobe pointed out, but death had Srm‘odnd me. The dead man was indeed “Old Jim,” as ho was familiarly called. I had known him weil some years before in California, where he was a woted mining rroapputor, but had not met him since. His worn and haggard face ro- called vividly to my mind ‘“‘the great dinmond swindle,” of which he was a projector. I had reported the aflair at the time of its occurrence, but briefly because, great as was its magnitude in the mlght{ flood of speculation which then engulfod’ the Golden State, it was but an episode in the passing show. The story of the swindle has never been ritten in full, I think, and its recount- ing fills one of the most interesting pages in the history of mining barons of California. Among the countless schemes to which the great banker Ralston, who loved to be eallod the “financial king of the Pacific const,” devoted no small share of the California bank, of which he was president. was the exploiting of mines in the Pyramid range of moun- tains close to the™border line which divides Arizona from New Moxico. This was in the ecarly seventies when eculation was rife and the discovery of bonanzas an every-day event. Among the employesof Ralston in the Pyramid mines was one George Arnold, a man of meager education but bright and ambitious. In his shanty on the wild mountain side and over lis bacon and beans, he was cver dreaming of some plan that would bring Dame For- tune at his waiting feet. He saw men making fortunes by a single cast of the die, and losing them by a single throw, While yet droaming his dream of wealth there came to him the bright colored stories of the great diamond discoveries at Cape Colony. His teem- ing brain at once devised a scheme which, in its, way, equaled Low's South Sen Bubble. He had grown unscrup- ulous in his desive and had become to believe that with him, at least, the end justifiod the means. The soil around the Pyramid distri was rich in color and had chars enough to inaugurate any mining scheme, however wild and impractic- able. So, with a comrade, Jim Hag- gerty, with whom he had long been associated, Arnold made long tours over the surrounding country. After weeks of this kind of work he re his place in the mines with the given intention of seeking the fairer fields of Mexico. He next turned up in San Francisco in the fall of 1871. He immec ely found Ralston, and even astonished that bold operator by revealing that he had discovered in “Arizona rich diamond ficlds as extensive as those of Cape Colony. From the gripsack he had brought with him he poured forth a wondrous display of rough diamonds which had been washed from the yield- soil of the new find.

Arnold reluctantly accepted the offer. In due course of time the party of capitalists interested left San Francisco for the promised land. At Camp Ral- ston, the headquarters of the Pyramid mining speculation,the eager capitalists were met by Arnold and Haggerty, the latter being introduced as a sort of a side partner, like the silent mares of the admiral of “*H. M. S. Pinafore.” The two worthies were to conduct Ral- ston and his associates to_the diamond fields.

Chicago Herald: The true inward- ness of the sensational surrender dur- ing the anarchist trial of A. R. Parsons has never been printed. It is an inter- esting story. Parsons, it will be re- membered, was the only one of the an- archists who ran away the night of the massacre on the Haymarket. Schnau- belt, who, it is said, threw the bomb, ran away also, but not until the police had taken him in and dismissed him for some unaccountable reason. Unlike Parsons, he did not return, and his whereabouts has never been discovered. When the anarchist left town he left no trail behind for the astute detectives to follow. It was one of the cloverest escapes that has ever been made by any man. The police, 1o make use of an exagerated expression, “turncd heaven and earth” in their effort to find Parsons. Kirst they gota “tip” that he was in concealment at Waukesha, Wis.,, but investigation proved that he was not. Then came a story that he was on a ranch some- where near Omaha, and Jim Bonfield went west to investigate, but he did not find Parsons. The Iatter has said this ““tip™ was the correct ono. and he asserts thathe frequently passed Jim Bonfield on the street of Omitha, Thereare people, however, who seriously dount the polico ever got on the right trail during their long search, because they believe that Parsons never left the city at all. These people ure probably correct, as the following incident of the groat tragedy will show: The Saturday afternoon before the trial of the anarchists began, Attorneys Foster, Black, Sulomon and Zeisler, of tho defonse, Held o mecting in Silo- mon’'s office on La Selle street to plan a line of action for Monday. Mrs. Par- sons was present, and half a score of sympathizers of the reds were waiting outside ready to offer advice orlend any assistance that might be required. The counference had continued nearly an hour, when a pretty woman, of petite figure, entered the office. Her face was flushed and her eyes shone with sup- pressed excitement as she turned to Mrs. Parsons and beckoned her into a corner. The lawyers ceased talking to look at the pretty intruder, and the as- tonishment her sudden entrance had caused was increased when she drew from her bosom an envelape. This she handed to Mrs. Parsons, who opened it and silently read its contents. “Where did you get this?” Mrs. rsons asked, in shavp tones, holding latter aloof. ¥ “I got it from John ——, who got it from him. It was handed me in the street half an hour ago, and I hurried here as fast as 1 could to give it to you.” This reply, coupled with the few words which ‘the little woman whispered into Mrs. Parsons’ eur, seemed to satis{y the latter, and she turned round and faced the wondering lawyer This letter,” she said, deliberately, was written by my husband, and he has taken this means of sending it to me rather than trust to the mails. He wants to know whether or not, in your opinion, gentlemen, he ought to come and give himself up—whether he ought to stand trial with his comrades.” The announcement caused a sensation among the lawyers. For several min- utes not one of them spoke. Mr. Fostor was the first one to break the silence. “I do not think,” he said, “that it would be advisable under the circum- stances for Parsond to return here now. Public sentiment is all against these men, and it would be ill-advised for him s0 come here and face a community that is ready to put n rope around his neck.” “Well, gentlemen, you have to decide now what ought to be done,” was the cool veply of Mrs. Parsons. “My hus- band is in a safe hiding place, and he L venture, os- sed such daz- at once into a the rapid action peculiar to ¢ the will not come back unless I send him | zig-zag as u snake fence and as rough as word.

On their return to San Francisco the capitalists wished to form a company. In ten days it was accomplished. A nold was paid his $1,000.000 and made superintendent of the new mines. He at once made known tho LOCATION OF TIE DIAMOND FIELD: and they were visited by several stoc holders in the compan Diamonds were found by each and all of them, and all went merry as a marringe bell until a brave man to think of this. What a grand thing it would be for a man in- dicted for his life to come back and vol- untarily face his accusers in open court and say to them: ‘Gentlemen, [ am in- nocent.” Have him come back by all means.” Captain Black's eyes glistened with genuine delight. Mr. Salomon wi oqually enthusiastic, but Mr. Foster in- isted that the step would be unwise, sisler said nothing at all, but listened atlentively to the arguments of his as- sociates, Once Mr. Foster turned to him and asked him what he thought about the matter, and he replied that he did not have an opinion, at least none that he would express. Finally the lawyers' conference was brought to a close, and Mr. Foster was about to leave for his own office when Mrs, Par- sons accosted him with the query: “*Captain, what had I better do—tell my husband to come or to remain where 1 Tell him to remain where he is,” was the prompt reply, and the lawyer | Arnold skipped for the east. | proceeded to give his reasons for the It was then thought best to call in an advice.
