Lord Kitchener wired to-day, he con- tinued. that the cold-blooded murder of natives had become frequent of late, and that two dead natives, their hands tied behind their backs, were found Novem- ber 10 at the bottom of a mine shaft. Later in his speech Brodrick said Great Britain has now 42,000 Boers in custody in the centralizaticn camps and on various islands, and that 11,000 more had been killed or wounded or had left the country on parole. He added that he believed the number of Boers now in the field was about 10,000 “The country has set its teeth and in- ds to go through the process of wear- them down,” he exclaimed. *“We in- to provide Lord Kitchener with fresh troops to replace the tired ones. Only to-day a certain colony made an offer to help.” Brodrick said he was sorry anything had happened to affect the career of Sir Redvers Buller, and_he assured the com- pany that’ the deafness of Sir Evelyn Wood was not a bar to the work that officer had to do as commander of an army corps. BERLIN, Nov. 13—The Frankfurter Zeitung to-day publishes an interview with A, D. Wolmarens, the Boer' repre- sentative, now at Amsterdam, in which the latter is quoted as declaring that the alleged impending peace negotiations be- tween the Boers and British are un- founded. “So long,” said Wolmarens, ‘“as the British Ministry maintains the attitude outlined by Chamberlain's and Lord Salis- | ; the question o§| bury’s last speeches, peace cannot be entertained.

C., Nov. 13.—The Japan Herald says the scheme of the Japanese Government for the acquisition of money from abroad by undertaking the sale of public bonds on the American market has finally ended in a fiasco. As is well known, the Government has been at- tempting the introduction of foreign capi- , with a view of undertaking such pub- lic works as are necessary, and it is a fact that for a time the negotiations with American_ capitalists made a favorable passage, but subsequent to the death of Mr. McKinley the market condition for the sale of Japanese bonds became dis- couraging. Marquis Ito, who is now in America, Gid his best on behalf of the Japanese Government, but, having exact- ing conditions alleged to_have been de- manded by foreign capitalists, he has be- come compelled to recognize the failure of his exertions, and Mr. Takahiri, Japa- | nese Minister in Washington, has like- wise dispatched a telegram to his home government announcing the total collapse of the expected acquisition of foreign cap- ital. In view of the hopelessness on the part of the Government to resume its attemot | the authorities | on advantageous terms, have made up their minds to map out an- other financial programme, but as to the nature of the fresh scheme nothing has vet come to light Work for Stanford Debaters. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Nov. 13.— The Stanford Intersociety Debating League has taken action that may result in the cardinal's debating interests being extended beyond their present narrow limits. Negotiations are being made with the University of Washington with the view of obtaining an oratorical contest between the northern team and the Stan- ford second team. The cardinal first team is scheduled for a_debate with represent- atives from the University of Nebraska, but it seems improbable now that the Nebraskans will come to Stanford. Colo- rado College, located in Colorado Springs, has sent out a challenge for a debate, and it is possible that arrangements will be made for such a contest. The prelimin- aries for the Carnot debate will occur on Friday and Saturday evenings of this week, thirty-two candidates being en- tered in the contes SR Dawson a Railway Center. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 13.—The Colo- nist says editorially this morning: “We have information which leads us to feel warranted in saying that the proposed rallway from Dawson to the Klondike mines will be built next summer. The line will probably extend to Bonanza Creek, with branches up the several gold-pro- ducing creeks, the main line continuing from Bonanza up EI Dorado and across the divide to Indian River. The object of the promoters will be to extend the line at a very early day as far as Stewart River, and ultimately to the mouth of the Pelly, opposite Fort Selkirk. It will in all probability form part of an All-Canadian route to Dawson.” priesd PR Cf Interest to People of the Coast. WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 —Postmasters appointed: Washington—W. E.

Harry Longbaugh and Laura Bullion Indicted on Sev- enteen Counts, ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13.—The November Federal Grand Jury to-day returned in- dictments against Harry Longbaugh, tana train robber suspect, and his com- panion, Laura Bullion. They were In- dicted on seventeen separate counts each. Charles H. Smith and Michael F. O'Neill, express messenger and fireman respectively of the Great Northern fiyer that was held up last July near Wagner, Mont., arrived here this afternoon and identified the suspect under arrest as Harry Longbaugh, the man who held up the train and took the lead in intimidat- ing the train crew and blowing open the express company’s safe, from which nearly $100,000 in unsigned bills of the National Bank of Helena were stolen. O'Nelll says that Longbaugh is the man who climbed over the tender and held up Engineer Josephs and then superin- tended the blowing up of the safe. His recollection of the episode was so vivid that he could describe the two revolvers that the robbers used. The police say they are the same weapons that were found on the prisoner when he was ar- rested. Smith and O’'Neill came to St. Louls ac- companied by C. F. Elliott of the ex- press company from whose safe the bank notes were stolen. Robber Merely Sniffs. Longbaugh never flinched when the identification was made. He merely looked at the men and sniffed contemptu- ously. Chief Desmond asked Longbaugh his real name. “I will talk when the time comes,” was the reply, ard not another word could the chief get out of the stubborn pris- oner. “I first saw this man when we were about 500 yards out of Malta,” said O'Neill. “I was shoveling coal and 1 looked up and saw him coming over the tender. He had a big pistol in his left hand and a smuller one in his right hand ‘When he saw that I had seen him he covered me with his pistol and told me to go on with my work. I complied. Then he came on toward me and the engineer, T. R. Jones. He kept one pistol on me and the other on Jones. ** “What does this mean?’ asked Jones, It means that it is a hold-up and that it is going through,’ the fellow said. as he climbed (n the seat by the engi- neer’s side.” Story of the Robbery. Fireman O'Neill then related in detail the story of the robbery, adding: “‘After looting the safe and getting the money, they had horses standing there and they rode away at a gallop, shooting all the while.” O'Neill said that for eight miles he rode in the same cab with the suspect. | He studied his features carefully. He sald when the robbery occurred Long- baugh had a shogt and stubby mustache. It did not seem So dark then as it does now. Chief Desmond says that he now thinks that the suspecl’s real name is Ben Kil- patrick. ’ “A tall Texan,” answering the suspect’s description, was implicated in several train and bank 1obberies in the West, anl he was known as Kilpatrick. Elliott, O’'Nefll and Smith will remain in St. Louis a_day or two. The men may testify in the United States court if it {s decided to continue the prosecution here. Since this last evidence has turned up it may be deemed best to take him to| Montana for trial, where the offense of | train robbing !s punishable by death, EEAR ADMIRAL EVANS TO GET A NEW BILLET Secretary Long _alecm Him for Second in Command at Asiatic Station. WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Secretary Long intends to send Rear Admiral Rob- ley D. Evans out to the Asiatic station to be second officer in command. Both Admiral Remey, commander in chief of that station, and Admiral Kempft, junior squadron commander, will return soon to the United States, having served out the term allotted for service in Asiatic waters. This will leave Rear Admiral Rodgers, now in senior command of the squadron, in supreme command. Though i* has not vet been decided, it is prob- able that there Wwill not then be three admirals on the Asiatlc station as at present, for men of this rank are needed for service at home, and two rear ad- mirals, it is thought, will suffice. —ge ENTIRE PLANT OF MINE SINKS INTO AN ABYSS JOPLIN, Mo., Nov. 13.—In a cave-in at Oronogi, near here, to-day, the entire plant of the Aurora Mining Company, one of the greatest producers in the dis- trict, was swallowed up. No lives were lost. The plant comprised a hundred-ton mill, office building and engine-house, all of which were engulfed, together with sid{ gravel cars and an immense tailing pile. ‘Workmen heard the timbers cracking and signaled to be drawn up. The last man had reached the surface only a few minutes when the timbers collapsed, the earth yielded, ard with a crash the whole lant sank into the abyss. Further cav- ng is feared and work In that vicinity has been suspended. It is impossible to estimate the damage. EREES Reduced Cable Rates to Philippines. LONDON, Nev. 13—8ir John Woif Berry, chairman of the Eastern and Eastern Extensicn Telegraph Companies, presiding to-day at the Eastern Tele- graph Compary’s semi-annual meet- ing, announced the completion of arrange- ments with the American authorities in the Philippine Islands to reduce the cable rates, beginning November 15. The chaii- man seid he did not fear the projected American and German competition on ac- count of the Eastern Telegraph Com- pany’s concessions in Pacific regions. e o el Boy Accidentally Kills Himself. SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 13.~A special to the Deserct News from Richfield, Utah, says thai Amel Jansen, a 15-year- old boy, while trying to remove a cart- ridge from an cld gun, accidentally dis- charged the weapon, the charge taking effect right over the boy’s heart. Young Jansen walked a short distance to the house, told his mother not to cry and fell dead at her feet. o B Government Will Protect Indians. WASHINGTON, Noy. 13.—The Secre- tary of the Interior has taken cognizance of the situation at the San Carlos Indian reservation, Arizona, to the extent of dfrecting the agent' of the Indians on that reservation to notify Territorial and county officers that the department ex- peets them to fully protect peaceable In- dians while legitimately engaged in work on the roads in that vieinity. - Approves Claim of Great Britain.

Final ratification of this agreement will bring into existence the greatest and most ef- fective example of the community of in- terest idea as applied to the raliroad sys- tem of the country. The first of to-day’s developments was the incorporation at Trenton, N. J., of the Northern Securities Company, with a capital stock of $400,000,000, and the sec- ond was the unanimous adoption by the Northern Pacific directors of a resolu- tion providing for the retirement at par of the company’s preferred stock on Jan- uary 1, 1902, There was a full attendance at the meet- ing at which this action was taken, those present _including George Charles Steele, representing J. P. Morgan & Co., E. H, Harriman of the Harriman syndicate, which is in control of the nion Pacific; J. J. Hill, president of the Great Northern; Samuel Rea, vice presi- dent of the Pennsylvania; James Stillman, of the National ~City Bank; H. cK. Twombley, for the Vanderbilts, and Wil- liam Rockefeller. The directors decided that the funds necessary for the retirement of the pre- ferred stock should be obtained by the sale at not less than par of 75,000,000 four per cent bonds convertible into common stock, each holder of common stock now outstanding being entitled to purchase at par an amount equal to seventy-five eign- tieths of the amount of his special hoid- ings. It was further provided that two dividends of 1 per cent each be paid on the preferred stock before its retirement. No Official Statement Obtainable. Samuel Spencer was elected a member of the board in place of Robert Bacon, resigned, and the board organized by re- electing all of the company’s present offi- cers. No official statement was obtainable this afternoon as to the scope of the newly incorporated Northern Pacific securities, but it was generally understood that the company was formed to take over and control the shares of the Northern Pa- cific and the Great Northern railroads and their leased lines. The Great North- ern’s outstanding capital is $125,000,000 par value, selling at 200 in the market, while the Northern Pacific’s total outstanding stock, after the retirement of the pre- ferred, will be $%0,000,000 par value, mak- ing a total of $205,000,000 par value for the ghares of these iwo companies. At %0 for Great Northern the amount would be ! Increased to $330,000,000 for the shares of the two companies. Burlington shares, it is understood, are not to be turned over to the Northern Se- | curities Company. That stock is now heid as collateral for the outstanding Burling- ton collateral bonds, with voting rights vested in the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern 'railways. It is under- stood that the Union Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern interests agree to the retirement of the Northern Pacific pre- ferred and that Union Pacific will have a heavy interest in the capital of the new company, considerably yond the par value of their present Northern Pa- cific share holdings, which are placed at $78,000,000, par value, just over a ority of the total $155,000, Northern Pacific stock capital. No information was ob- tainable as to what share, if any, the Vanderbilts and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul are to have in the new com- pany, Under the new arrangement the Union Pacific Railway will have voting rights in the Burlington, the directors being about evenly divided between the Union Pacific and the Hill interests. The sug- gestion was made w-dag that the Bur- lington stock may be held in a voting trust under the agreement between the two interests. In this case J. P. Morgan will be a voting trustee. - After the meeting of the Northern Pa- cific directors, J. J. Hill and George I Baker went to Morgan’s office and had a conference with him. Later Jacob Schilf, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and E. H. Harriman called. All declined to be interviewed. ‘A member of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co, said that the Northern Securities Company would be the holding company of the various roads interested, but he de- ciined to say what railroads these were, on the ground that tue detalls are not Jet completed, and premature publication might interfere with their consummation. “You may rest assured,” sald he, “‘that all difficuity over the Northern Pacific matter is now at an end, and this has been accomplished in a manner highly satisfactory to all concerned. Retiring the Preferred Stock. The resolutions adopted by the directors of the Northern Pacific providing for the retiring of the preferred stock set forth the terms of the agreement of July 13, 1896, where J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., acting for the reorganization managers, turned over to the Northern Pacific 1- way Company 750,000 shares of preferred and $00,000 shares of common stock, and that it was expressly provided in the agreement that the preferred stock could be taken up at par on the first day of any ‘anuar: rior to K JThe r{s(’;lulmns show that at a meetin, of the Northern Pacific directors, July 8, 1896, a form of certificate for the preferred stock bearing these conditions was adopt- ed and was duly ratified by the stock- holders. Every certificate of the $75,000,000 referred stock now outstanding therefore geurs this provision. The resolutions cons tinue: ‘hereas, The holders of the majority of the common Siodk of the Northern Pacific Rallway Company have requested the board of directors to take all such action as may be requisite to retire the whole of its preferred stock upon .the first day of January, 1902, and have given satis- factory assurances that the necessary moneys for that purpose will be furnished and that all action requisite for that purpose will be taken by _the holders of the common stock; and ‘Whereas, In the judgment of thé board of directors, it is desirable that this company should now exercise the option to retire the preferred stock, it 8 unanimously Resolved, That the Northern Paclfic Company in the exercise of its right specifically ex- pressed in each and every certificate of stock of this company has determined and hereby does determine to retire the preferred stock of the Northern Pacific Railway Company in whole at par upon the first day of January, 1902. Under the resolutions the transfer books will close for the retirement of the pro- posed issue on December 10. The final dividend of 1 per cent will be payable on and after January 1, 1902. The Herald to-morrow will state that the Northern Pacific stock will go into the “new holding”’ company around 115 and the Great Northern around 180, Wins on the Official Count. PHILADELPHIA, Nov, 13.—The official count of the recent election in Philadel- phia County, which was completed to- day, reveals the fact that J. Harry Davis, Republican, one of the candidates on the Un?on party ticket for Judge of the Com- mon Pleas Court, No. Henry Budd, Democrat, his colleague on the Union ticket. The unofficial Agures last week ap?arently elected Budd by about 40 plurality, but the official count shows Davig to have received 19% votes more than Budd. Three Judges were to be elected for this court, each elector be- ing entitled to vote for two candidates, thus assuring the mlnorl'tlgl party ,-BP“_ sentation in the court. e Republican candidates were elected as the other mem- bers of the court. Hays to Manage Grand Trunk System CHICAGO, Nov. 13.—The Chronicle to- morrow will say: It is reported that C. M. Hays, who recently resigned the pres- idency of the Southern Pacific, is to be elected president and general manager of the Grand Trunk system. Hays was eneral manager of the latter road when fie ‘was made president of the Southern Pacific about a year ago. Hays 1s now in England conferring, it is said, with the owners of the road.
