THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1895. DIPLOMAS FOR MANY, 4 Stanford’s Last Award to the Class of Pioneers. THEIR WORK HAS ENDED. One Hundred and Sixty-Seven Graduates Receive the De- gree of B. A. TWO ELOQUENT ADDRESSES. Touching Words of President Jor~ dan and Vice-President Stillman at the Parting. STANFORD UNIVRSITY, Car., May | One versity passed into history to-day. hundred and sixty even young men and | women received the degree of A.B.and | thereby severed their connection, as stu- | dents, with the institution. | The commencement exercises were held | m, which was packed to | its uumost capac by visitors, relatives and friends of the graduates. Vice-Presi- dent Stillman delivered the address, “Specialization in Education,” a masterly discourse, followed by President Jordan in one of the ablest utterances ever heard on the campus. Hundreds of people, stand- ing in cramped, uncomfortable positions, served the utmost silence and rapt at- tention during the impressive ceremony. The audience, the music, the decorations, | the sentiment and the wisdom of the speak- ers made the exercises a fitting conclusion | to the programme of this memorable week in the history of the university. Dr. Stillman delivered an address never to be forgotten by those who heard him. | He classed the highest aim of education as ! the fitting of the individual to be of the | greatest possible service to therace. In| general, he said, it is also true that the | man fitted to be of greatest service to the | race is also best fitted to improve his own con n and to increase his own comfort and happiness. A system of education | which should ignore the firstand greater | object wonld contain the seed of itsown | dissolution, for in the long run society is banded together against organized selfish- | ness. I'he speaker traced the advance of edu- | tional facilities from the years when stic teaching was designed only for | sthood down to the present era belief in universal knowledge. | n he declared to be one of the few | which coujd be obtained at ‘Thou hag infinity to learn; O haste! Haste no., haste not. mv soul! Infinity? Thou hast eternity to learn it in. Thy boundless lesson through the endless years Hath boundless leisure. Run not like a slave— Sit like & king and see the ranks of worlds ‘Whee in their cycles onward to thy feet. Thke presentation of prizes followed.

The impulse arising from the study of natural and physical science has played no small part in this stimulation of latent human possibilities. Naturally there have arisen from the changing conditions of life new social, political and industrial problems, msaking necessary more varied and different educational preparation. The great variety of hools for general and special training and the diversity of ideas as to function and methods of education are evidences of the attempt to suit educational methods to the various needs of the time. The century soon to be ushered in will doubtless carry forwerd, perhaps still more rapidly, the inaustrial and material develop- ment of civilization. Its achievements may be greater than those of the nineteenth, but it would be strange if the future century were h difficulties and dangers eom- surate with the magnificence of its mise in other directions. | oblems already face us which tax to the | utmost the knowledge and ability of the best ned experts; problems afecting the | ual relations between nations inter- | national, international commerce or finance; equally difficult gquestions of internal ad- ministration, currency, tariff, taxation, the relation of the Government to the in- dividual, charities and correction; they need not be further enumerated, we all recognize them, Many social questions once simple and easily regulated become more difficult and of | greater import through the growing complexity | of social machinery. Thus the centralization | of capital into mammoth corporations or | trusts, with & power that springs from more than kingly wealth, has given rise to questions | of great public importance; questions which troubled but little when competition was freer | 1the relations of supply and demand less | Westricted. The state has found itself compelled to inter- “ere to protect the public from the abuse of yower by wealthy corporations, and perhaps 1o task before us is of greater 1Mportance than that of protecting the public from such or- ganizations, and at the same time protecting | great business enterprises irom an equally un- | just and tyrannous abuse of the power of legis- | lation. Comcentration of capital has made | possible organizations of labor for its own pro- tection, and here again a giant strength is .roused which public policy must control, that it be not used against the rights of others nor the welfare of the state. How are we to acquire the wisdom and abil- ity to deal with such questions on the basis of equity and honesty and with intelligent un- derstanding of the factors involved in their settlement ? Only, I am convinced, by the gradual elevation of the people toa higher av- erage of honesty and intelligence, and further than that by the thorough special education of @ large number of men to act as leaders of public opinion in their respective branches of knowledge. The greater the number of such leaders the more this training, and the more veried the lines of thought in which such lead- ers exist, the more rapid and free from changes will be the mareh of progress. Dr. Stillman made a brilliant plea for specialization in the institutions of learn- ing—for a system of education that would prepare the student for some special walk | o Jife—give him a profession or a calling, "Alh knowledge of its most intricate de- tail: He defined specialization as an ap- plication of study in some particular branch to identify the student with s cer- tain field of human knowledge. * Dr. Still- man closed with the words of the Califor- poet, Haste, haste!

Said he: To the Class of 1895: To-day we give you the last of your childhood’s toys, the college de- gree. The degree with all its titles and its privileges is yours. But it will not help you much in life. It belongs to the babyhood of culture. It represents hopes and ideals, the promise of youth, but men and women are judged by achievements, not by dreams. You will value your diploma for the growth to which it bears witness. For the warm friend- ships and sweet associations “you will value it again. And still you will prize it as a card of admission to the noblest body of men and women in the world, the band of Collegiate Alumni. All this is now yours. Lay the di- ploma away now with the best of your youtn- ful treasures. To-day you take your place in the world of men. You have reached your ma- jority. One by one, you have passed the goals your teachers have set for you. The goals of the future must be of your own choosing. It is yours now to think, and therefore to act for yourselves. This you can surely do. It will be no new experience. Your training in the past has been such, we trust, that the new free- dom will be new in name only. It will come to you with no shock of surprise, for in free- dom you have been trained for freedom. You of the class of 1895 have occupied a unique position toward this university. You were the first—the band of pioneers. It has been yours to lead, never to follow. Those who in future years are drawn to these halls may weigh and compare, balance privilege with privilege, opportunity with opportunity; their choice will be governed by influences which in part have come out from you. They will measure the future by the past. For you there was no past. You trusted the forces the university seemed to represent. You have given your best years of training to this insti- tution when it had no record of achievement, no wealth of tradition. You have been uni- versity-makers. The highest value of tradition lies in the making of it; the noblest wealth is the wealth of promise. Itis the place of the pioneer to make for the future, not to share in the past. Our university has no history to fall back upon; no memories of great teachers haunt its corridors; in mnone of its rooms appear the traces which show where a great man has ever lived or worked. No tender associations cling, ivy-like, to its fresh new walls. It is hajlowed by no traditions; it is hampered by none. Its finger-post still points forward. Traditions and associations it is ours to make. From our work the future of the university will grow as a splendid lily from a modest bolb. But the future with its glories and responsi- bilities will be in other hands. Itisoursat the beginning to give the university its form, its tendencies, its customs. The power of pre- cedent will cause to be repeated over and over again everything that we do—our errors as well as our wisdom. It becomes us then to begin the work modestly, as under the eye of the coming ages. We must lay the foundation broad and firm,so as to give full support to whatever edifice the future may build. In concluding Dr. Jordan said: To the care and culture of men and women this university has been dedicated. As I said to you when we came together so I say to you again: The golden age of California begins when its gold is used for purposes like this. From such deeds must rise the new California of the com- ing century, no longer the Califorma of the gold-seeker and the adventurer, but the abode of high-minded men and women, trained in the wisdom of the ages and imbued with the love of nature, the love of man and the love of God. And bright indeed will be the future of our State if, in the usefulness of the university, every hope and prayer of the founders shall be realized. TRIAL OF THE ST, LOUIS Just One Knot Below the Speed Required by the Contract. 2 Under a Higher Pressure and With Better Coal the Vessel Wil Be a Flyer. NEW YORK, N.Y., May 29.—The St. Louis, the new steamship of the Inter- national Navigation Company line, com- pleted her trial trip at sea at 4:30 p. ., at which time she was made fast to her pier at the foot of Vesey street, North River. Coming up the bay the St. Louis was the recipient of a splendid ovation, due toa craft of her imposing appearance and mag- nificent proportions. Everything afloat saluted the new com- rade as she passed in. Steam whistles shrieked a welcome, ensigns were dipped and flags were waved in honor of this lat- est addition to the commercial marine of the United States. Her builders, the Cramps, express en- tire satisfaction at the result of the trial. Only once or twice during the trip did any part of her machinery become heated and that was the worst that was developed. By direction, there was no attempt to force the speed for any considerable lencth of time. It had been promised that the St. Louis should develop a speed of 21 knots. This was not fully realized during the trip. For thirty minutes yesterday afternoon the great ship was propelled through the water at the rateof 20 knots an hour, and in order to do that it was found necessary to force the draught. The coal in the bunkers is blamed for mostof the difficulty in that regard. The steam pressure was at no time above 160 pounds, while to produce the stipulated speed 200 pounds may be required. When the fastest time of the trip was being made the engines were making 92 revolutions to the minute, 95 to 100 revolutions being re- quired to bring the speed up to twenty-one knots. ‘With some slight alterations in the fur- naces and with a more careful selection of coal, it is represented that the St. Louis will, on her trans-Atlantic voyage, which begins June 5, develop a well sustained speed of twenty-one knots. Prominent citizens of St. Louis, in recog- nition of the honor shown their city in the selection of a name for the great Amer- ican liner of American build, have pre- sented the company a handsome library, ten ornamental glass-windows for the first cabin library-room, and a full setof cut glass for the steamer. The presentation was made when the steamer docked this afternoon. DESTITUTION IN OKLAHOMA. Unless Aided at Once Many Farmers Will Stavre. ‘WICHITA, Kaxs., May 29.—An appeal for aid for destitute people of part of Grant County, Oklahoma, has been issued by the ‘Women’s Associated Society of the Presby- terian Church of North Pond Creek. The appeal declares there is a strip of country, which includes a portion of Grant County, extending from four miles south of Enid north twenty miles to within four miles of Oxford, and from five miles west of Round Pond east ten miles almost to Lamont, where, on account of the severe drouth last summer and this spring, there is no grain and no vegetables and little grass for cattle and horses. There is great destitution, and unless aid is immediately given many must starve. Focd, clothing and seed are desired. S gty WILL TALK TEN DAYS. Referees Making Arrangements for the Financial Debate. CHICAGO, IrL., May 29.—Hon. Roswell G. Horr to-day asked Lyman J. Gage, pres- ident of the First National Bank, to act as his referee during the debate between him and W. H. Harvey, author of “Coin’s Financial School.” Mr. Gage has accepted, and the Union League Club has tendered its rooms. The debate will probably last ten days. Sten- ographic notes of the entire debate will be tuken and given to the press for publi- cation. The date has not heen decided upon. Howard S. Taylor, Harvey's refe- ree, will meet Mr. Gage to-morrow and de- cide upon the preliminaries. AT GRESHAM'S BIER Touching Tributes Paid the Honored Dead. CAPITOL IN MOURNING. Distinguished Statesmen, Dip- lomats and Soldiers at the Services. ALL REGRET THE NATION'S LOSS Remalnsof the Late Secretary Being Accompanied on the Traln to Chicago. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.—The re- mains of Secretary Gresham, accompanied by President Cleveland and every member of his Cabinet, and the Secretary’s family, left Washington at 12:15 o’clock on a spe- cial train for Chicago, where the final in- terment will take place to-morrow. In life Secretary Gresham had loved most the military career of his ardent youth and of all his titles had been the fondest of that of general, which he had won upon the battlefield. 1In death he was wrapped in the starsand stripes and given a soldier’s funeral. The whole city mourned the Nation's loss. Every department of the Govern- ment was closed; every flag in Washing- ton was at halfmast. All the regular troops in and about Washington, cavalry, artillery and infantry, escorted the re- mains to the railway station. Mrs. Gresham, the stricken widow, was so over- come by her grief that she was unable to attend the services at the White House. The casket was borne to the Executive Mansion through the files of military and deposited in the East room, President Cleveland and his Cabinet, as honurary pall-bearers, accompanying the remains thither. The East room had been draped with a profusion of American flags and decorated with palms and potted flowers. The blaek catafalque and the black seal rug on which it rested were banked with the rarest and most beautiful flowers. The assemblage was of the most distinguished character. All the members of the diplo- matic corps in full court costume, resplen- dent with decorations, and many of them stiff with gold lace and braid, the officers of the army and navy in brilliant uni- forms, and all the high civil officials of the Government, the President and his Cab- inet, the judges of the Supreme Court, Sen- ators, Representatives and other digni- taries and their wives were present to pay their last tribute to the honored dead. All were profoundly moved by the sim- plicity of the service. It consisted merely of the reading of the funeral service of the M. E. Church by Bishop Hurst, a personal friend of the dead Secretary. ‘When the benediction was said, the strains of Cardinal Newman’s beautiful hymn, “Lead, Kindly Light,” trembled on the air and it was over. With bowed heads those present took a long last look at the well-known features and departed. As the fuH cortege emerged from the ‘White House grounds, the long stretch of cayalry with their heavy yellow plumes, the artillery and infantry drawn up along the avenue saluted and the scarlet-coated Marine band played ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The military then took their places under command of Major-General Ruger, and slowly led the way down the avenue to the station, preceded by a band of forty pieces mounted on heavy horses. There were four troops of c¢avalry from Fort Meyer, the marine corps from the Navy-yard, three companies of infantry, four batteries from Washington Barracks and four batteries from Fort Meyer, in all all about 1500 men. As they swung down the avenue to the solemn strains of the funeral dirge, the sidewalks and every available space in the windows overlooking the avenue were lined with people. As they heard the muffled drums and saw the flags, the multitude was awed and rever- ently lifted their hats asthe cortege passed. ‘While the casket was being conveyed to the train the Marine band played ‘Safe in the Arms of Jesus.” As the funeral train left the station the military separated and the city became quiet and its streets almost deserted. Before 8 o’clock this morning floral trib- utes to the late Secretary Gresham.began to arrive at the annex to the Arlington, in which the remains of the Secretary of State lay. Most of the floral pieces, how- ever, were sent to the White House, where the service was to be held. Mrs. Gresham, broken in spirits, exhausted by long vigils and overcome with grief, was in such a nervous state that her dauchter and son prevailed upon her not to undertake the trying ordeal of attending the services at the White House at 8:30 o’clock. There- fore, the doors were all closed and the stricken family left alone with its dead. For almost thirty minutes they remained, taking their last leave. Meantime without the preparations were being made for the military funeral. At9 o’clock the doors of the room where the re- mains lay were opened, and the family re- tired to the rear apartments. Mrs, Gresham, in an agony of grief, was almost carried from the room by her stalwart son Otto, being followed by her daughter, Mrs, Andrews, her sister, Mrs. McGrain, and Captain Fuller. Soon afterward carriages containing the members of the Cabinet began arriving. At 9:15 President Cleveland drove up in the White House carriage, accompanied by Colonel Wilson. The crowd craned their necks, and a few camera enthusiasts, who seemed unconscious of the solemnity of the occasion, attempted to secure snap shots. The President wore a black frock coat. He looked far from well, and as- cended the bLroad stone steps with some difficulty. At 9:30 five red-coated trumpeters marched up Lafayette place and stationed themselves outside the line of mounted police to give the signal when the cortege had departed. Thirty seconds later the hearse, drawn by two coal-black horses, drew up at the door. The President, fol- lowed by the members of the Cabinet in the order of their rauk, acting as honorary pall-bearers, descended the steps and stood with uncovered heads, while eight artil- lerymen carried the casket with slow and solemn tread between them. The casket was shrouded completely in the folds of the American colors. Thestarsand strj however, could hardly be discerned for the flowers banked upon thecasket. The artil- lerymen walked beside the hearse as it drew away, halting at the corner until the President and members of the official fam- ily had taken their positions in the car- riages ahead. The funeral procession moved slowly to the White House, flanked on either side by a line of policemen, behind whom were thousands of people, many with bowed and uncovered heads. The casket, pre- ceded by the President and Cabinet, was borne by the artillerymen to the East room, where the services took place. The great apartment was elaborately festooned for the solemn occasion. Seats were re- served for the immediate kinsfolk of the dead man, for the President and Mrs. Cleveland and for the members of the Cabinet and their wives. ‘Within the solemn, black-robed circle stood the standards for the catafalque, resting on a black seal rug. At the upper end of the vplace where the catafalque was to rest stood a large wreath bearing the cards of the President and Mrs. Cleveland. It was of white roses and white rhododen- drons, tied with whiteribbons. Alongside this was another superb wreath from the State Department of white and red roses and calla, tied with purple ribbon. Conspicuous for its rare beauty was a tloral tribute from the foreign representatives. It was in the form of a large crescent wreath of orchids, lilies of the valley, American beauty roses and carnations, tied with a bow of large ribbon, with the words “Diplomatic Corps’’ in gold letters thereon. A few moments before 10 o’clock the family of the deceased, except Mrs. Gres- bham, were ushered into the green room, whence through an open doorway they had a plain view of the catafalque. Ata sign from Colonel Wilson the crowd in the center divided and the casket, borne by eight stalwart sergeants of the Fourth artillery, under the command of Captain Charles D. Hall of the Nineteenth In- fantry, was borne to the East room and placed upon its supports. The floral trib- utes were gathered by the ushers and heaped in profusion upon the black sur- face of the casket. By 9:45 o’clock the East room®was nearly filled. All the members of the diplomatic body were apparently in attendance, with the exception of Minister Weckerlin of the Netherlands, who is absent from Wash- ington. The members of the Supreme Court came in singly. Mr. Thurber, the President’s private secretary, gave his arm to Justice Field, who was very feeble. In the rear of the diplomatic body were seated the general officers of the army and navy, with their ladies. Again the crowd divided and the Presi- dent and Cabinet entered, President Cleve- land heading the party, with Mrs. Cleve- | land upon his arm. They took their places standing at the head of the casket at the right of the south windows. Bishop Hurst then stepped forward. A hush fell upon the company and the clear voice of the clergyman rang out the words: I am the resurrection and the life.” The service was remarkably simple and free from ostentation. It was the full burial service of the Methodist Episcopal church, practically the same as that of the Church of England. The quartet sang very sweetly Cardinal Newman’s hymn, “Lead, Kindly Light.”” The entire service lasted but fifteen minutes. The Bishop, when it was concluded, stepped to one side, after inviting those who cared to do so to look upon the face of the eminent deceased. Of this invitation every one in the room took advantage. The few Senators who were in Wash- ington were given very prominent places. Senator Stewart wasin the very first row. The State Department sent an imposing delegation, consisting of all the employes, down to the humblest messenger. The personal friends of the late Becretary com- pletely filled that part of the room not oc- cupied by officials. The casket remained open in the East room for an hour. Miss Kate Field was the last person to look at the face of the dead before the casket was sealea and the march taken up to the railroad station. The carriage with Mrs. Gresham and her daughter joined the funeral cortege at the Executive Mansion. The hearse, fol- lowed by a short procession of a dozen carriages, moved from the ‘White House gate and halted in front of the troops, which were drawn up in line. The troops saluted. General Ruger and his aids lifted their hats and the famous Marine band played ‘“Nearer, My God, to Thee.” Tothismusic the military detachments marched past. When the last company had gone by the carriages with the President and Mrs. Cleveland and the members of the official household fell into line. The relatives drove privately to the station. Three bands played dirges along the line of march. The sidewalks and windows were crowded, and the flags on all the buildings were at halfmast. The column reached the station shortly before noon. ‘When the hearse drew up to the sidewalk the Marine band played ‘“Safe in the Arms of Jesus.” The funeral train, made up of five Balti- more and Ohio and Pullman coaches, was ene of unusual magnificence. It started at 12:15 and is scheduled to reach Chicago at 2 P. M. to-morrow. CEREMONIES AT CHICAGO. All the Arrangements Made for the Pre- mier's Funeral, CHICAGO, ILL., May 29.—United States Marshal John W. Arnold has been placed in charge of the local arrangements for the interment of the late Secretary Gresham. Only in a general way has he arranged for the march to the cemetery to-morrow. Colonel Corbin will reach Chicago at 7 A. ., and the Marshal and General Merritt will meet him on arrival and the pro- gramme will then be definitely arranged. As contemplated to-night there will be no attempt at display. It is probable that the only troops participating in the escort will be the cavalry and artillery from Fort Sheridan. The infantry will be brought to the city with the others at 9 o’clock in the morning and their participation will depend upon the wishes of Colonel Corbin. During the afternoon Marshal Arnold ane General Merrtt had a conference with A. A. Sprague, the local representative of the Gresham family. They arranged for the interment at Oakwoods, and for an un- dertaker to meet the funeral train at Sixty- third street with a state hearse drawn by six black horses.

EMBASSADOR BAYARD’S TRIBUTE. Gresham’s Courage Unselfish and His Honor Stainless. LONDON, Exe., May 29.—All the com- ing engagements of the United States Em- bassy, including the state ball, have been canceled on account of the death of Secre- tary Gresham. No member of the em- bassy was present at the Derby to-day. A representative of the Associated Press questioned the Embassador, Mr. Bayard, in regard to the statements from Washing- ton that he would probably succeed Gresham as Secretary of State. Mr. Bayard said: “These are mere speculations and I can- not discuss them.” Mr. Bayard was then asked to send through the Associated Press a message to the American people upon the death of Mr. Gresham, and he said the following might be transmitted: “American history is rich in heroism, and no son of America ever deserved the epithet ‘heroic’ more perfectly than Wal- ter Q. Gresham, for his courage was as unselfish as his honor was stainles.” (MIED BY HER CAIE The Sudden Death of a Rabbi Causes His Wife to Be- come a Maniac. Becoming Violent the Unfortunate Woman Smashes Furniture and Dishes. INDIANAPOLIS, I~p., May 29.—Louis Sherezfski, a Jewish rabbi, in charge of the Sarah Tefilla, was stricken with death this afternoon just after finishing his ser- mon at the synagogue, it being a church holiday. He became very ill during the service, which he managed to finish, and then started for his home. He fell at his door and died in a few minutes. His wife was not at home, but when she returned a reighbor told her the terrible news. With a cry she rushed into the house and threw herself upon the dead body of her husband. In endearing terms she pleaded to him to speak to her, tore the clothing from his body, raised his eye- lids and cbafed his hands. Then ensued a terrible scene. She com- pletely lost her reason and became a rav- ing maniac, broke the chairs, demolished a lot of furniture and smashed the dishes. All the women were frightened and ran from the house. Men entered but could do nothing. The situation was not changed at a late hour to-night, and her reason is probably gone forever. eodns oo Sl SPECTATORS EXCLUDED. Not to Be Permitted on Warships During the Ceremonies at Kiel. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.—Owing to the great number of applications that have been received from persons anxious to visit the American warships at the naval demonstrations at Kiel, Secretary Herbert has been obliged to issue an order to Admiral Kirkland, im command of the fleet, for his guidance in the matter. By its terms he may admit visitors to his ves- sels before and after the ceremonies, but during their progress every civilian will be rigorously excluded from shipboard, save Embassadors and Ministers. This is believed to be necessary to the mainte- nance of a good naval appearance and discipline while the ships are parading or are subject to the inspection of the German Emperor. —_— BRUTALITY OF A HUSBAND.

Peter’'s Hospital suffering from burns and bruises, while her husband John oc- cupiesa cell in the Butler-street police station, charged with inflicting the injuries which will probably cause her death.

Her face and body are in a horrible condition from the burns, Notwithstanding this, however, she would not at first disclose the name of her assail- ant. When told that death was near she gave the evidence against her husband, who was at once arrested. His only state- ment was that he had been too drunk to recollect anything that had occurred.

Struggle of a Trust Company to Control Two Union Pacific Branches. ALL INTEREST MUST BE PAID: There Is Some Doubt as to the Valua of the Recelvers’ Cer= tificates. OMAHA, NeBr., May 29.—Mr. Egan can- not gain possession of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway lines until the American Loan and Trust Com- pany complies with Judge Sanborn’s order, which must be extended by orders yet to be made by Judge Gilbert at Portland at a hearing set for next Monday, and Judge Merritt at Salt Lake at a hearing not yet set. Judge Sanborn’s order extended the other jurisdiction to require the Am. erican Loan and Trust Company to ime mediately pay all defaulted first mortgage interest on the entire system. Interest in defaultis now $1,000,000 in- cluding theinterestof the Utah and North- ern consolidated fives amounting to $46,000. This amount will be reduced by the appli- cation to $580,000, which Judge Sanborn yesterday afternoon, upon further con- sideration, determined it would be safe to direct the present receivers to advance for that purpose. Efforts were made to secure an agreement from the representatives of the American Loan and Trust Company that the interest on the Utah and Northern consolidated bonds will also be paid, but the efforts were fruitless. Judge Sanborn further requires that company to meet all future aceruing first mortgage interest payments, the largest of which falls due in the next two or three months. While the present receivers will make no contest at Portland, the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway Company and many of its bondholders will contest the right to make any order for raising money by receivers’ certificates to pay off the interest which the Ameri- can Loan and Trust Company must pay, and any such order, if made, will be at once appealed from. Senator Thurston said that while the re. ceivers could not claim a complete victory, they were thoroughly satisfiea with the equitable and just order made by Judge Sanborn in the Oregon Short Line case. He said the receivers to the property would take it with many burdens, and he gave forth the impression that the order was simply the opening gun in what promises to be the most exciting campaign in West- ern railroad annals. W. S. Pierce, repre- senting first mortgage interests, thought the value of the receivers’ certificates would be greatly abridged when all the facts be- came known. Looking at it from a busi- ness standpoint he could not see how prospective purchasers of receivers’ certifi- cates could afford to invest money is so much uncertainty. OPPOSED TO EGAN., Employes of One Line Would Not Like to Work for Him. PORTLAND, Or., May 29.—Next Mon- day the matter of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway Company independent receivership will be definitely settled by Judge Gilbert in the United States Circuit Court. The contention of the Union Pacific will be against the ap- pointment of Egan as receiver. John M. Egan was appointed by Judge Gilbert by ex parte order made in chambers and without notice having been given to the defendants in the suit in which the ap- pointment was made—that of the Amer- ican Loan and Trust Company vs. the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway Company. The Evening Telegram says: “The grounds of the proposed attack on Egan can only be surmised at this time, but it is understood that prominent among them will be the fact that as chairman of the Man- agers’ Association in Chicago he directed the railroads’ side of the great strike last summer. On this account, it is argued, the employes of the Short Line will not do faithful work under his management, and with consequent poor service the earning capacity and value of the property will be impaired.” Charities and Corrections.
