The Mayflower was met by a launch containing Mr. Hunt, sécretary of Porto Rico; Colonel Buchanan, the collector of customs; Captain Yates Buirling, captain of the port, and other friends of the governor. When Governor Allen landed, the public square fronting the docks was thronged with thousands of people.

WABASH WAR IS A WORRY Trunk Lines and Central Association Commitiee Spends Whole Day on It, Accomplishing Nothing. CHICAGO, May 23.—The joint committee of the trunk lines and Central Passenger association met in this city today to con- slder ways and means to prevent the east- ern roads from becoming involved in the war between the Wabash and its com- petitors over differential rates, no definite results belng reached. Every prominent eastern road was represented at the meet- ing. The discussion at times hecame ani mated, the standard lines taking issue on the matter with the differential lines. The latter are anxlous to assist the Wabash and help it win the fight, as it will tend to perpetuate the advantage in rates they are now enjoying. Commissioner Farmer of the Truvk Line assoclation took stronk ground In favor of the eastern lines keep- ing out of the fight and that full propor- tions of normal rates be charged from the western roads. Tomorrow the eastern lines will meet with the western and try to bring about an adjustment of the trouble between the ‘Wabash and its competitors. MANITOBA TAKES LINE MAY 31 Miniater of Public Works from Canada | Sets Date for Northern Pacific Tranaf, ST. PAUL, May 23.—"The Manitoba gov- ernment will take over the lines of the Northern Pacific at midnight, May 31," said Mon. Robert Rogers, minister of public works in Mr. Roblin's cabinet to a reporter today. “I saw Mr. Mellen this morning and all the arrangements were eompleted. The rond is to be operated by the Canadian Northern railway and we are ready to let them have it as soon as we get posses- slon.” When shown a press dispateh from Win- nipeg stating that certain parties had com- meneed injunction proceedings to prevent the Northern Pacific from making a trana- fer of the lines to the government, Mr. Rogers safd it was perfectly absurd and that a motion for an injunction would be not worth the breath counsel would expend n moving it. The lease runs for 599 vears and practically amounts to a sale of the property.

WASHINGTON, May 23.—Mr. Rockbill has coufirmed the news from Pekin to the effect that the forelgn ministers have declined | (0 accede to the suggestion of the United ] that the total of the indemuity to be collected from China shall be limited to $200,000,000, It is expected that he will continue his | efforts in the direction of keeping down the maximum of claims, even while aban- doning, for the sake of harmony, the figures named, and it is believéd that the outcome will be a compromise on a figure betweea $200,000,000 and the maximum of §337.000,000 claimed by the powers. In the effort to keep down the total Mr. Rockhill looks for support to the estimates submitted by Sir Ernest Satow, the British minister at Pekin, and Sir Robert Hart, commis- sioner of imperial customs, whose report upon the abllity of the Chinese to pay an indemnity of about $200,000,000 is now be- fore the State department. Until this question of grand total is set- tled the matters of interest to be estab- lished on the loan and the method of guar- anty are expected to remain open. o8 SMALLPOX DELAYS RETURN Ninth Infantry dered by Fresh Dis- coverles on Board the Trans- port Indiana.

PEKIN, May 2 i SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., May ~8ince It has been definitely that former Senator Pettigrew oftered the position of Northern Pacific railroad L self denied the accuracy of the published reports to this effect, intercst centers in what position was really tendered him— for it is considered certain that James J HIll was desirous of providing for his old- time friend. It was stated a few weeks ago that the ex-senator had been offered the general attorneyship of the Northern Pacific rallroad at a salary of $18,000, Statements to this effect were also er- roneous, and doubtless were the founda- tion of the recent reports connecting Petti- grew with the presidency of the road. It 18 learned from a rellable source that the | position actually offered Mr, Pettigrew | was that of manager of the land depart- ments of both the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads. A hitch oceurred to the ameunt of salary to be paid him, and it {s understood that negotiations are oft for the present. An offer of a salary of $15,000 per year was made Mr. Petti- grew, but he wanted $25,000. Those seek- {ng to secure his services finally raised their figures (o $18,000 per year, and there the matter rests.
