Its powers do not ude ration of raflway, banking, mining the buying or selling of securities or properties for others on commission. It is purely an investment company and the ob- Ject of its creation was simply to enable those hold its stock to continue their respective interests in_association together and to pre- vent such interests from being scattered by death or otherwise; to provide against such at- tacks as have been made upon the Northern Pacilic by & rival and competing interests whose main investment was hundreds of miles from the Northwest and whose only object in buying control of the Northern Pacific was to benefit their southern properties by restraining the growth of the country between Lake Su- perior and Puget Sound. The foregoing is & brief and absolutely cor- rect statement of the whole subject, and its truth can easily be verified by the State of Minnesota and any other State or person hav- ing sufficlent interest to investigate the facts, which are all matters of record. Hill Asks Some Questions. Now, &s to the effect of what has been done upon the public interests, let me ask a few Qquiestions, which I want every candid and hon- €st man to answer for himself: Did the Union Pacific people with their rail- way lines extending from Omaha and New Orleans to California and Oregon, through the several States in the Middle West and South, purchase a majority of the stock of the North™ ern Pacific Company for the purpose of aiding that company and increasing the growth and prosperity of the morthern country, or was it for the purpose of restricting such growth and alding the development of their enormous in- terests hundreds of miles to the south? In defeating their control of the Northern Pacific and retaining it in the hands of those who had built it up and with it the entire Northwest, did we injure or benefit the peopie of_the Northwest? Did 1, by inducing my friends to hold their Northern Pacific common stock and act jointly With Morgan & Co. when this stock was selling at $500 and $1000 a share, thus preventing the Union Pacific from controlling the Northwest, injure or benefit every interest, agriculture, business and otherwise, of the entire country | between Lake Superior and the Pacific Ocean? Had we sold our 20,000,000 of Northern Pa- cific even at $300 a share. amounting to $60, 000,000, or nearly $40,000,000 more than its present value, and transferred to the Union Pacific_the country between Canada and Mex- ico, what law of Minnesota would we have violated? Could we not legally have put the money in our pockets and let the country learn what it was to be dominated by a parallel and competing railroad? The public is interested in having a raflway service and fair and reasonable rates, The past is gone and speaks for itself; I can speak for the future and have no hesitation whatever in saying that the increased volume of traffic, both through and local, will enable the companies to reduce their rates in propor- tion to the volume of such traffic and that in the near future the public will have a chance to seo for itself this feature of what I have sald. The @evelopment of the country will increase with greater increase in pooulation between Minnesota and the Pacific. No mer- ger or consolidation of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern is contemplated. Each company will be operated separately in the future as in the past Lady Minto, wife of the Dominion’s Governor General, has received nearly | $20,000 for her college hospital fund. WOMAN MIS3ING; | MURDER FEARED Vancouver Police Find No Trace of Mrs. Powell. VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 21.—Mrs. Grace Powell, a young and pretty German woman of this city, has been missing since Thursday afternoon, and it is feared she has been murdered. An hour belore dusk she stepped from her house for a moment and since that time not the slightest trace of her has been found. ‘While no arrests have been made, the po- lice are watching for Oscar Lazgar, a half demented man who for months has been annoying Mrs. Powell with his at- tentions. They suspect that he is guilty of either her abduction or her murder. According to the story told by Mrs. Powell's sister, who was present when the woman left the house, a man had come to the door to sell chickens. She heard Mrs. Powell and the man making a bargain for two fowls and Mrs. Powell came in for her purse, which contained between $50 and $60. With a word of ad- monition to the sister not to allow the fire to slacken Mrs. Powell went out with the man, as he said he had the fowl a short distance up the street. The side- walk outside was narrow for some dis- tance and on both sides were bushes. Mrs. Powell did not return, and although the police and neighbors have searched the district thoroughly no trace of the woman has been found. Lazgar was seen in the vicinity the day before and it was known that Mrs. Powell | was afraid of him. They had been lovers in Germany before Mrs. Powell married. Since his arrival in this country Laz- gar has gpent most of his time in an asy- Jum. He threatened to kill Mayor Town- ley of this city because the latter would not give him money. Recently he de- manded $50 from Mrs. Powell, on condition that he would go away and cease annoy- ing her. The police believe that the mad- man sent the supposed poultry dealer to the house and having enticed Mrs. Powell away either killed her or carried her off. No poultry seller called that day at other houses in the vieitity. Prominent Naval Officer Il WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Word was re- celved at the bureau of navigation just before the office closed for the day that Captain Francis A. Cook was lyiug dan- gerously ill at the Naval Hospital in this city. His condition was considered so critical that the department was asked to order Naval Cadet Harold E. Cook, who is now aboard the battleship Illinois at New Orleans, to come to Washington im- mediately. Another of Captain Cook’s sons, Passed Assistant Surgeon Frank G. Cook, is now at the Naval Hospital in this city in attendance upon his father. At the Naval Hospital it was stated late to-night that Captain Cook’s condition was much improved. His ailment is an affection of the heart. RIOTOUS WORKINGMEN BATTLE WITH POLICE BUDAPEST, Dec. 2L—Serious riots by unemployed workingmen occurred this afternoon, resulting in the arrest of many persons and numerous injuries to both the police and rioters. The demonstration was organized by the Social Democrats. Five thousand unemployed men paraded the streets. ‘The first collision with the police oc- curred in front of the National Club. The police charged with drawn sabers and broke up the procession. Afterward smaller bodles of the demonstrators roamed about the city, plundering a num- ber of shops. They looted one jeweler's establishment, from which they took some gold, and one bank. —_——— Our German-Americans—Ses their plctures in Christmas Wasp. Cosmopolitan California fllustrated.

Company, John Mac- Ginniss and Daniel Lamm with being in a conspiracy, the alleged object of which is to get a receiver appointed for the Par- rot Company through false represgnta- tions in order that they may wreck the property and steal its wealth of ore from the stockholders of the company. The charges are made in an answer filed in court to-day by the Parrot Com- pany to the suit recently brought by Mac- Gunniss and Lamm to have the Amal< gamated Copper Company declared a trust and to have a receiver appointed for the Parrot because its directors and officers turned the company over to the Amalgamated. It was charged by Mac- Ginniss that the Amalgamated was using the earnings of the Parrot to pay divi- dends on the stock of other concerns, and that generally the company was misman- aged. The Parrot Company declares that since the Amalgamated acquired a majority of its stock in 1898 the dividends paid have more than doubled. It is shown that the company paid its first dividend in 1897, when it amounted to $102,857, or about 4% per cent on its caplital of 250,000 shares. In 1898 it pald $413,730, or 18 per cent; In 1899 it paid $896,415, or 39 per cent, and in 1900 it paid $1,379,160, or 60 per cent. The par value of the stock is $10, but in 1898 it sold for $18 and In the present year it sold for $45 and $50. It is charged that the Intention of MacGinniss is to get a recelver who is friendly to the Heinze interests and to work the mines in the interest of Heinze, HARRIMAN WILL COME ON AN INSPECTION TOUR Railroad Fresident Intends to Have a View of the Transconti- nental Lines. make an inspection trip of all the trans- continental railroad properties under his control as soon as possible after January 1.
