A ENGLAHD THREATENS CHIN Fourteen Warships Will Make a Demonstra- tion Before Nanking Wednesday. MUST DEGRADE THEVICEROY OF SZECHUAN | Falling to Regard the Demands the Admiral Commanding the Fleet Will Occupy the City. SHANGHAT, Sept. 20.—If the Chinese gov- ernment fails in the entire compliance with the Britsh demands It is understood that a fleet of fourteen warships will make a dem- onstration before Nanking Tuesday Wednesday next. The British dzmand is that within fourteen days an edict be issued de- grading the viceroy of Szechtian or otherwise tho British admiral commanding will act. The wife and family and the treasury of the | viceroy of Nanking have becn brought to | Shanghal for safety. Rich Chinese merchants are coming here from evey side seeking shelter. The British warships Rainbow, Spa tan, Plover, Swift and Acolus are at ports The Caroline, Undaunted, Bdgar, Archer and Alacrity are at Woosung. The Daphnea and Firebrand are at Shanghal. The British admiral is on board the Edgar. LONDON, Sept. 20.—The Standard says re- garding the Chinese situation: The position of the Chinese goverument Is extremely peril- ous. It has enough on its hand without a quarrel with England. It is too evident that the fall of the Manchu dynasty is imminent, but the news of the spread of the Mahom- medan Insurrection in the province of Kan-su s alarming. The British demands must be supported by the presence of our fleet in the Yang-ise-Kiang, if not by the occupation of Nanking. We doubt if the Manchu dynasty could survive such a shock. If the Mahommedans of the west find a leader, and if at the same time the imperial government is rash enough to defy the pow- ers, a revolution s inevitable. The Times dwells upon China being a huge inert mass, whose friendship is not worthy the cultivating by feeble concessions to her pretensions and her pride. “‘What we want done,” the Times continues, “we must in- sist upon_having done, not by futile repre- sentations to Peking, but by going to the spot In question and seelng it done our- selves.” PERU or AND BOLIVIA QUARR the Frontier De- twee ir For LIMA, Peru, Sept. ~Conflicts have oc- curred between the Peruvian and Bolivian forces on the frontiers and the officers of the department of Puno have taken measures (o suppress the disturbance. Owing to the re- cent sirained relations between Bolivia and | Peru this frontier outbreak causes small apprehension. The senate has conferred with the Chamber of Deputies in granting a sanction to the Hualgayoe railway project, the charter to run sixty years, and the limit to be fixed by Chola-Huanchace, the Cordillera and the Pacific ocean, There is a guarantee of 20,200 hectares per kilometer and the act allows other railways running north and south the option of building either a standard or nar- row gauge.

She came to arrange for the dispatch of steamers to dis- charge the cargo. Other steamers are ar- ranging to go. The Mariposa went ashore on Tuesday morning, four hours before day- break, with a thick fog prevailing.

If it should be decided by the courts that the Indians have no right to hunt in violation of state laws, then his department is to recommend to congress that an agreement be made with them for a relinquishment of the right guaranteed to them by treaty, which they claim to be still in force. Governor Richards at once agreed to this proposition, and suggested that two test cases be made, one charging an Indian with killing game out of sea%on, another charg- ing an Indian with killing game not for immediate use. McCormick will leave to- morrow for Fort Hall rescrvation, where he will secure two Bannock lIndians and bring them to Evanston, Wyo., for arrest, in ac- cordance with the plan outlined, which was put into the form of a written agreement. Disxappenr: City with Droutl HAMBERLAIN, S. D., Sept. 20.—(Spe- cial)—Uniess considerably more than the usual amount of snow should fall during the coming winter several lakes, which a few years ago were the large:t in the state, will become dry. Notibly among these is Lake Kampeska, heretoforo a tine body of water, near the city of Watertown. A sister lake to Kampe'ka, known as Polican lake, has already become entirely dry, and Kampeska is at a lower stage than ever be- fore. Should this lzke be overtaker by the samo fate which has befallen scores of other lakes in the state the water supply of Water- town would be shut off, and where to find a substitute would be a problem not easily solved. What has been the most beautiful and healthy plessure resort in the state would ba a thing of the past. Commencing (wo or three years after what is known as the “big snow" of the winter of 1880-81 the numerous fine lakes in the state have bzen gradually drying up. This county had a fine body of water known as Red lake, covering between 4,000 and 5,000 acres of land, but this and scores of other lukes in the state are now entirely dry and the beds are being used for agri- culture. A heavy fall of snow the coming winter would restore many of these lakes to their normal stage. Besides snow there is no relief, as rain does not fall in sufficient quan- titles to be of any benefit JUDGE ER-IN-LAW, fer at an Ad- Age at Her Home.

ALL INTERESTS ~ QUITE SATISFIED How Have Plans of a Sim Failed to Work Fre- ntly in the Past to the Cost of Man r Charncter BUFFALO, N. Y. Sept. 20.—The efforts being made by the leading millers of the country and the chief members of the Na- tional Millers' assoclation to bring about an arrangement which will provide set rules reg- ulating the output of flour on the market and fixing a minimum price for flour, appear to be on the point of reaching a successful is- sue. The details of the plan have been worked out and made known to the prin- cipal millers in the country, and the agree- ment of the large millers of winter and spring wheat to abide by the regulations, or, in other words, to enter the combination, is all that is now lacking. Aside from the northwest, Buffalo holds the key to the sit- uation, and vigorous efforts have, it Is said, | been made to bring the Buffalo millers into the movement. The leading millers of this city have been interviewed, and their state- ments will be published in tomorrow morn- | ing's papers. From these it would appear that millers of spring wheat have all along been very anxlous for the consummation of | the deal, but that the winter wheat millers have until very recently held aloof. HOW IT WAS ARRANGED. To fully understand the movement, it may be said that two months ago at a meeting of the National Millers’ association in Minneapo- lis it was suggested that a plan be formulated whereby the brokers and other outsiders could not toy with the market as they saw fit and force the millers to dance to their music, but by which the millers could control the market to an extent to protect themselves, if nothing more. Spring wheat millers produce about two-thirds of the flour of the country. Thelr action was rendered doubly necessary by the fact that the markets are at present flooded by an overproduction of about 12,- 000,000 barrels of flour. After two weeks' more deliberation a plan was worked out and submitted for judgment. This plan proposed to form a combine of millers and fix the min- imum price at which the output of the mills will be sold. No miller may go under this price, and all may sell above it. To solve the overproduction problem it was decided to have all mills reduce their pro- duction 15 per cent, which will make a dif- ference of almost 4,000 barrels in a year. If the market should pick up at any time the per cent of the reduction in production would he proportionately reduced. All mills failing to reduce thelr production when notified shall, according to the agreement, pay to the asso- clation a certain per cent for every barrel of flour in_excess of the agreed rate of produc- tion. The agreement is to hold for a year and fo be renewed thereafter yearly If satis- factory. WINTER MILLERS APPORTIONED. The opposition of the winter wheat mill- ers to entering the combine lay in the fact that they would constitute a considerable mi- nority, having only one-third representation. Tho orders reducing or increasing the output of flour from time to time would be issued | by a_committee, of which the spring wheat { miller would be two-thirds voice, and in agreeing to abide by the decision and direc- tions of that committce the winter wheat millers would be placing themselves at the merey of the spring millers, for during the season of the winter millers business the spring miller conld better afford than at any other time to slow down. Matters thus looked blue for the plan until last week, when an understanding gained solid ground that the winter millers would arrange an assoclation of their own with precisely similar regulations to those pro- posed by the spring millers and would act honorably with the spring millers, aithough without any binding agreement tying them- selves. . This cleared the atmosphere and now the plan is walting only for all the spring mill- ers and ail the winter millers to get into their respective folds and arrange to act together harmonfously. There wiil be no articles of incorporation amd it is alleged that there will be no written agreements, but on the other hand there will be a very plain understanding. The eastern millers {nsist on this. Twice before have combines been formed, both times imperfectly, and at the expense of the eastern men. The market would improve, according to agreement the eastern men would wait to unload, the west- ern men, it is said, would play “’possum’ and the eastern men would awake to find the market flooded and all thelr flour unsold. mselves, | Micient to produce a | D There will be none of that in this instance. Just how it can be avoided without a signed agreement is not stated, but the millers themselves say It has all been arranged. —— STEAMSH JAPANESE P SYNDICATE. Will Put on a Line of Vemsels to Amerien Soon. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 20.—A Japanese syndicate s soon to put on a steamship line between Japan and some port on the North Pecific coast, and Seattle is making a strong effort to have the American ter- mirus of the line located here. In a letter to the secretary of the Seattle Chamber of Comserce, an agent of the syndicate states that the outward transportation and tonnage from Japan will be sufficient to employ all the ships and steamers the company will put on the line, and inquiry is made as to what tonnage fromthe United States may be expected. The Japanese Diet will in October next cousider the subsidy bill, which has for its object the extension of navigation to foreign countries. In case of favorable action on this bill, which is thought to be pretty certain, the company will immediately send an agent to this country to determine which is the best port on the North Pacific for this end of the line. The company asks s to the facilitics here for handling freight and the means for transhipment inland, also as to the number of manufactories here, ete. The principal products of Pacific coast states that can be used by Japan and China are flour and lumber and pig iron and steel billets could also be made a profitable ex- port.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—A young woman calling herself Mrs. Jane Baugh'with lawyers and a policeman called this afternoon at 144 West Thirty-seventh street, where the body of Baugh, who died Thurslay, was Iying, and demanded admittance. They were niet by John Harkins, uncle of the dead man, and to him Lawyer Chadsey said: ““This young woman is my client and the wite of George Baugh, whose body I8 lying inside, and we demand on her behalf that she be admittted and allowed to view the remains of her husband.” This was a surprise, because Baugh was not supposed to have been married. “If you come up the st¢ps and attempt to eftect an entrance,” replled Harkins, *I will throw you out. We don't know who you are and we don't want to know. The young woman eried: “Oh! take a look at my poor, dead husband.” Then she went into hysteries and was carricd away. One of the lawyers gave the follow- ing statement: “This young woman Is the wife of the dead man, and we are prepared to prove It, It is true that she is only the common law wife, but in this state it is equally as bind- ing as if the ceremony was performed by a clergyman. Our client met the young man about a year ago, and he sunsequently iniro- duced her aw his wife to many reputable people whose affidavits to that effect we have. Thursday young Baugh, who was a heavy drinker and was additted to the use of morphine, was removed in an ambulance to Roosevelt hospital, where he died two hours after his arrival, and his body was removed by order of his sister, Mary Baugh, to the residence of his uncle, although his wife vigorously protested against it. Friday Deputy Coroncr Donlin performed an autopsy on the body, which showed that Baugh died of oplum polsoning, and the coroner, al- though it is not generally known, ordered our client placed under police surveillance, on Let me | the clalm of his sister that this young woman had poisoned her husband.

On Saturday her attorneys obtained a tem- porary injunction, restraining the sister from disposing of the remains. Judge McAdam of the superior court signed the order and made it returnable before Judge Dugro Monday. It was served on Miss Baugh Saturday night and at the same time she was also served with papers in a civil action brought by the alleged widow against the sister of the de- ceased to recover $10,000 damages for the detention of the body and for the assault. The relatives of young Baugh will resist the injunction. They claim that the woman who calls herself his common law wife is at- tew pting to get his property. ety SPANISH MARINES AT FLORIDA KEYS Landed to Search for Fillbusters and Their Supplies. KEY WEST, Fla., Sept. 20.—Great excite- ment and indignation prevails, caused by the report that marines from the Spanish Conde de Venedito have landed on the Fiorida Keys, north of here, to search for filibusters. The Conde has been cruising in these waters for some time, looking for filibusters. It is the general opinfon that filibusters have arrived and supplies have been secreted on the keys north of this city, and the Spanish cruiser has evidently been trying to find them. Fish- ermen who came in from the, keys yesterday reported that Spariish Marines have been aking a diligent search and that the Conde de Venedito has landed searching parties on almost every key where 1t wil be possible for filibusters to rendezyous. This is considered an outrage. The keys belong to Florida, apd if Spain has a right to land searching parties on the keys it has also a right to land marines on the mainland. The insult is con- sidered to be as outrageous as if the Conde de Venedito had landed that searching party to search the home of the eitizens of Koy West. The State dépariment at Washing- ton will be asked to investigate and demand an apology from Spain for the indignity. NO CHANGE IN TH CUBAN WAR. Skirmixhes of Minor I the Province of San LONDON, Sept. 30.—A dispatch to Times from Havana, dated September 27, says: The situation here is practically un- altered. There have been several skirmishes in the last few days in the proviace of Santa Clara, both sides losing a considerable num- ber of killed and wounded, but neither gain- ing any substantial advantage. A corre- spondent in Santiago de Cuba writes that the insurgent leader, Jose Maceo, has aban- doned his strong position near Guantanamo and is moving further westward, Several men of the Spanish cruiser Sanchez Barcastegui, who were reported missing after the accident, have since appeared, thus re- ducing the number of the lost to thirty-one.

Lori- mer, D.D., pastor of the Tremont temple, during a sermon in Music hall this morning spoke strongly on the attitude of the United States toward Cuban patriots. He said: “I cannot understand why we are not doing more than expressing sympathy for Cuba, We claim to be a liberty-loving people, and I want the people to do two things. I want them to express their sympathy with Cuba saying: ‘We believe that republican govern- ment is the best government under heaven and while we know it is not perfect, and while we know abuses grow under it, never- theless we bid you godspeed in trying to realize it,' and then I want our government to grant them belligerent rights.” Favor Alding Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—The Department of Agriculture will shortly issue No. 5 of its series of bulletins on the world’s markets for American products. This number treats of the Netherlands, and contains a com- plete statement of the character and extent of that country's trade in import products. The relative rank of each country fn the total import and export trade is fully set forth in this bulletin: In 1803, that year furnishing the latest available data, the total imports amounted to $566,3006,049. Of that sum Great Britain's share was $106,063,672; Ru . $104,041,452; Java's, $77,584,808; Belgium's, $70,603,636, and the United States’, § the last named country thus holding among twenty countries the fifth pl Of wheat, out of $35,000,000 worth United States supplied $14,300,000; of rye, the total fmport was $10,350,000, Russia holding the first place, having supplied $3,800,000; of barley, $10,000,000, Russia suppiying more than one-half; of oats, more than $5,400,000, and of maize, $8,200,000, Roumania supplying $2,300,000 and $4,000,000 respectively. Similar quantities were supplied by Belgium, and the United States. The United States supplied $9,200,000 worth of wheat flour of a total of $13,100,000. Of rice, valued at $18,500,000, the largest portion, §11,700,000, came from British India. The total importation of cereals to the Nether- lands is figured at $109,100,000. Among seeds flaxseed takes first place. Out of $10,900,000 worth almost half came from British India, the United States sup- plying $1,800,000, and Russia $2,400,000. Im- ports of peruvian bark attains the aston- ishing figures of $68,700,000, of which $58,- 000,000 came from the Dutch East Indies and the rest from British East India SHOWING OF THIS COUNTRY. According to this report the United States in 1893 exported merchandise to the Nether- lands to the value of $62, ] and im- ported from that country, $8,745,611. Tables are presented showing the several countries whence the Netherlands import agricultural products. Statements as to raw oleomargarine and butter substitutes are presented. Of the former they took from the United States in 1891, 26,000,000 pounds, in 1892 78,000,000 pounds, and in 18 000,000 pounds. The demand for the edible product has fallen steadily, being in 1891, 8,000,000 pounds; in 1892, 900,000 pounds, and in 1893, 45,000 pounds, This decrease Is due to the decreasc of the manufactured oleomargarine in the Netherlands. The total amount of tobacco imported into the country in 1893 amounted to 38,000,000 pounds, valued at $4.450,000. The United States supplied 9,500,000 pounds, or about 25 per cent. The consumption of tobacco per capita in the Netherlands is far in excess of any other country from which statistics are available.

Special)—The secretary of the interior nas reversed a de- clsion of the commissiouer of the general land office holding for cancellation cash en- try No. 146, made June 19, 1893, by the board of trustees of the city of Butte, Neb., for the southeast quarier of section 16, town- ship 84 north, range 13 west, O'Nelll land district. The appeal to the secretary was taken by the board of trustees, through its chairman, Eugene R. Maxam. It appears that on June 28, 1893, A. R. Humphrey, commissioner of public lands and bulldings for the state, filed a protest against the entry, claiming that tne land involved belongs to the state of Nebraska under its grant for school purposes and is not sub- Ject to disposal by the United States. It was the decision of the land office sustain- ing this protest that has been appealed from. The specifications of error are substantially as follows: 1. In finding that sections 16 and 36 in each township of the lands opencd for settlement were reserved for the use of the public schools; that no grant of school sec- tions was made to the state by the act of March 2, 1889, restoring the reservation to the public domain. 2. In finding that whether surveyed or unsurveyed said sections were not subject to claim, settlement or entry under the act of March 2, 1889, or of the land laws of the United State: The secretary's decision says that the tract in question is within a part of the Great Sioux reservation, added to the state of Ne- braska by the act of congress of March 28, 1882, and that it was restored to the public domain by the act of March 2, 1859. The secretary’s decision says: “The act of 1882 extended the northern boundary of Nebraska ‘80 as to include all that portion of the ter- ritory of Dakota lying south of the forty- third parallel of north latitude and east of the Keya Paha river, and west of the main channel of the Missouri river.' This included the land In question. Subject to certain con- ditions, which were afterwards performed, the jurisdiction over the lands was ceded to the state of Nebraska. The Board of Educaticnal Lands and Funds for the state of Nebraska (under section 1, article viil of the constitution of the state, having general man- agement of all lands and funds set apart for school purposes) admits that the tract in question ‘was claimed by the village of Butte for townsite purposes prior to the survey thereof, and that settlement and improve- ment were made thereon in good faith for the purpose of taking out patent thereon under the townsite laws.' " Such an admission, the secretary says, suf- ficlently settles the question of prior oc- cupancy. The decision also says that the state of Nebraska obtained its grants of the school sections in the reservation from the act of March 28, 1882, adding the reservation to the state, “subject to all the conditions and limitations provided in the act of coi gress admitting Nebraska into the union. Among those conditions and limitations under which it took the grant of the school sec- tions was one which required the state, if it would claim its full quota of school lands, to select licu lands equivalent to those which had been settled upon prior to survey. In deciding in favor of the city of Butte the secretary says: “It having been shown that the land was claimed by the village of Butte prior to the survey, and thai settlement and improvements were made thereon in good faith, for the purpose of taking out a patent under the townsite laws, and it appearing that there was a sufficient number of inhab- ftants, the entry was properly allowed and patent will accordingly issue,” The act under which the decision Is made in favor of Butte is that of 1869, which pro- vided that persons who had made settle- ments “‘prior to survey upon the school sec- tlons with a view of pre-emption,” and ap- propriated to the state a Ilike quantity of other lands for school purposes, the state of Nebraska being entitled thercunder to seleci Heu lands equivalent to those lost to the grant by reason of such settlement. The lands in question were surveyed Sep:ember 6 and 11, 1890, and the survey was approved June 30, 1891 Will Be Christened by Miss Schieren WASHINGTON, Bept. 20.—At the invita- tion of Becretary Herbert, Miss Ida Schileren, daughter of the mayor of Brook- lyn, will christen the new crulser Brook!, whea it " lauhched. i STATE. in mpt from THEORIES IN THE DURRANT CASE. Doth Sidex of the Testimony to He Dellvered This Week. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20.—The last has not been heard of the roll call which was in- troduced in evidence by the attorneys of Theo- dore Durrant on Thursday. The roll call was introduced to show that the accused attended Dr. Cheney's lecture on the fatal afternoon of April 3. The development of the fact in the course of Dr. Gray's testimony that the record for that date was mot in reality the original has given the prosecution an oppor- tunity to follow up the matter and possibly show that a deliberate attempt has been made on the part of somebody to shield Durrant. Dr. Gray acknowledged when questioned by District Attorney Barnes that the record which stands on the book at present under | the date of April 3 was originally entered In the column which should have marked the proceedings of March 81. Subtequently, he said, the latter was erased and the “‘absent” and ‘“present” marks transferred to their proper place in the column of April 8. The page bearing the records for March still clearly shows where the crasures were . and under a strong magnifying glass , though somewhat indistinetly, the en- tries which it was attempted to obliterate. District Attorn'y Barnes and Captain Lees amined the roll call, particularly the and they are inclined to think that the mark opposite Durrant's mark w inally an “A” indicating the accus absent on that day. The argument is put forward that if Dur- rant had been present at the lecture there would have been no mark whatever oppo- site his name, unless he had been examined d was and in that event a cross would have been | there—and this mark was not a_cross. Attorney Deuprey has not yet opened up his batteries upon Rev. J. George Gibson, pastor of the Emanuel Baptist church. The attorney for the defense in his opening state- ment practically asserted that Dr. Gibson ought to be the defendant at the bar in place of Durrant. He has said, however, that as soon as he finishes with his evidence regard- ing the chisel found in the pastor's study, the hammer and the alleged bloody shoe, he will proceed to show that the writing on the copy of the newspaper in which Blanche Lamont’s rings were wrapped bears a strik- ing resemblance to the pastor’s style of chi- rography. In order to do this it will be nec- essary to produce experts on handwriting. So far as is known, no experts of this char- acter have as yet been summoned, —————— AMERICAN LABORER LEATL Compared with Earopenn Artisans They Live Like Kings, NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Samuel Gompers, ex-president, and P. J. McGuire, vice presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, who left here August 14 to attend the Trades Union congress at Cardiff and to make a study of labor questions in Buropean cities, arrived home on the steamer New York. As a result of his observations, Mr. Gompers said: “There s no workman in the world the equal in energy and possessed of the comforts of life of the American workman, He is su- perior to the English, French or German workman. He has longer hours generally, but he g almost universally better paid and spends more in living than the average Bu- ropean laborer earns. He holds a higher soclal position, and the conditions of his life are far more sympathetic with the ideas of manhood.” He said that the British labor movement would achieve greater results if laborers on the continent could be educated up to thé British idea of - the dignity of -labor, and added that Buropean workmen do not under- stand the American workman nor his meth- ods. He continued: The Germans are growing in trades unione, but thirty years of partisan political activity had not brought the results desired. They are beginming to build up their movements on practieal lines, however, and will soon learn more progressive methods." In France organized labor is very ineffect- ive in its movements, and, after seeing the operations of the government clgar factory in Paris, he had concluded that a paternal government was not the best thing in the world. There was no modern machinery there. Both Mr. Gompers and Mr. McGuire denied that they had reflected on Kier Har- die by saying that his mission to this country would not amount to anything. They did s that he had not been invited to this cour by any organized labor party, and had fallen into ihe hands of a few dissentionists in Chicago. * . MOB CHA A BANK PRESIDENT, wnee, Okl, Creates un 1 nse Sensation. PERRY, Okl, Sept. 20.—A messenger from Pawnee, twenty-five miles cast of here, says that President Berry of the Farm- ers and Citizens bank of that town is being pursued by a mob of angry depositors, and will be lynched if caught. It leaked out that the bank would ot open the doors Satur- day, and a bill for a receiver, was being pre- pared. The depositors immediately ran an attachment onl the bank building and assets to the amount of $30,000. C. L. Berry, the cashier, and president of the bank, was fond and tried to explain the failure to the people, but they would not hear him, and had it not been for the officers he would have been mobbed on the spot. Berry left and the crowd became more turious, and when the sheriff opened the bank's safe and found only $30 in cash the mob got beyond the control of the officers and broke for Berry's house. Berry had been notified, however, and had made his escape. A number of men, the messenger says, mounted horses and took after him. If Berry is caught, he will be lynched. g R L1 Fallure at ¥ % the Central Case at Spokane, SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 20.—Before leay- ing for Seattle last night Judge Hanford of the United States district court delivered an oral opinion in the Central Washington case. He removed the Farmers' Loan and Trust company as trustee for the bondholders and substituted In its place the Knlckerbocker Trust company, as asked for by a majority of the stockholders. He also discontinued Everett Miller of St. Paul as one of the two receivers, and made Charles C. Hamberton of Spokane sole recefver, his bonds to be raised from $25,000 to $50,000.

It is the struggle of the heavy creditors of the Union Pacific Rallway company and its thirty-two branches to have the entire business of the great trunk line thrown into a common pool and administered on as a trust fund by the federal courts. The complainants are in part stockholders and creditors of the company.

The American Loan and Trust company holds $4,445,000 of these bonds and several million of similar bonds are held by other plaintifis, Though the capital stock of the Un'on Pacific is alleged to be more than $60,000,000, the plaintiffs aver that its indebtedness is =0 great and its mismanage- ment o apparent that ite affairs ought to be administered by the federal courts. It Is alleged that the government debts alone are sufficient to causc the forfeiture of the fran- chise. The fact is reiterated with emphasis that the falling off of the road's revenue is alarming, reaching as much as $1,400,000 in two months. The complaint recites that the Union Pacifie Raflroad company is not able to earn operat- ing expenses, either upon its main line or branches; that the “company will not at any time have sufficient funds or assets with which to pay its intereit and sinking fund charges matur- ing from month to month, and (hat as a resilt innumerable creditors will have a right to begin a multitude of actions agalnst the company, which, it is alleged, will result in the dirmembérment of tho Union Pac'fic system, 5o that its properties and assets will be dissipated to the manifest und irreparable injury of the public, the government of the United States and . the compan’es, creditors and shareholde NEW YORK Severnl Leaders Working nt to Secure State Harmony.
