President McK'nley has invited Philander C: Kuox of Pittsburg, Pa., to visit him in the White House, and Knox will be here on Thurs- day or Frid: This is regarded as defl- nitely foreshadowing Knox's appointment as Attorney General to succeed Griggs. When Knox arrives, it 1s expected, the of- fice will be offered to him, and it is be- lieved he will accept and enter upon Ris duties very soon. The objections ralsed by certain persons to Knox’s appointment because he had been counsel to Andrew Carnegie have been overruled. The President informed the members of the Cabinet to-day that he had sent for s TO FO UTAH-COLORADO LINES RI1 ONE SYSTEM - Next Big Move in Railroad Circles Will Be Gigantic Incorporation to Be a Part of the Greater Missouri Pacific. SALT LAKE, Utah, March 26—The Tribune to-morrow w'll print the follow- ing: The next big move in railroad cir- cles will be the incorvoration under the laws of Utah of a mommoth Denver and Rio Grande incorporation to cover the Utah-Colorado lines, which are to be formed into one system, which sysiem is to be part of the Greater Missouri Pacific system. At this time it is impossible to glve the capitalization of the new com- any, but the Denver and Rio Grande, Elo Grande Western and the Rio Grande Southern at their present ecapitalization The capitalization -of the Colorado Southern and the Colorado Midland would add $58,000,000, or a total of $142,150,000, pro- viding all shouid be placed in one corpora- tion, as is said_will_be the case.

Whether the Burlir | ton directors will accept the proposal | not cannot be ascertained.

Perkins is still a d | rector-of the company. over which he pre- sided for so many yea and his in- | fluence is still potent with the investors who are so largely represented among the | Burlington shareholders.

From 8 until 11 o'clock balloting was steadily maintained without a romination. There was a falling off in | the vote for Edward Rosewater and a gain. for George Meiklejohn. The o'clock ballot resulted: Rosewater 27, Meiklejohn 20, Currie 7, Baldridge 1. During the balloting a «ommunication was ‘received from the nine men who re- fused to enter the caucus. In effect the bolters agreed to abide by the decision of the caucus if it would undo the work of a week ago and nominate any two men, eliminating the name of D. E. Thompson. There were other propositions, which were not disclosed. The caucus at 11 o’clock took a recess to consider the com- munication. The prospect to-night is regarded as un- favorable to any sort of agreement or the election of either Senator before the e piration of the legislative session @t -ml night Thursday.

PARIS, March 26.—The Chamber of Dep- | A comedy which has been condemned by the censor as immoral will be read in_its hearing. During the last few months the censor has been unusually active. A num- ber of plays have been refused by him and three have very recently been con- demned. This has led to some outcry against the censor. Jean Drault, a playwright and newspa- per man, has been notifled that a comedy which heé recently submitted to the censor has been rejected, and a friendly Soclalist Deputy, Charles Bernard, who has taken the matter up, announces that he will bring the subject before the Chamber, as he understands that the charge of immor- ality is a mere pretext for rejection, the' real reason being that the comedy scath- ingly critigzes the Cabinet. i. Bernard intends to read the play be- fore the Deputies that they may have an opportunity to judge. In this he will be seconded by Joseph Lales, anti-Semite, who will interpellate the Government on the method of choosing censors, whom he intefi-ds to arraign as lacking literary ca- pacity. o CANADIAN GREENBACKS SHOW AMERICAN LOCK Finance Department Gets and Uses ‘Wrong Picture of Structure on the Sault.
