ST. I .u-r , Minn. , Sopt. Ul.-rSpocIal Telo-
pram toTnr. Hir. : . ) It U ovldont from the
dovoloptnrr.tr. iioro In the past forty-eight
hours thut th& American association has
given up n'l ' thought of cotnpromlso with the
National louguf , und now i reposes , If possi
ble , to ocllpto the older organization.
A gentleman connected with the game hero
for the ps.st llirco years received a letter
ycstnulay from Baltimore marked "personal
Miid conlidentlal , " in which the schotno of
organization for 18W was unfolded. It stated
that It was proposed to Increase the Associa
tion's momhor.shlp to twelve clubs. Tbo
question was put directly :
"Would St. Paul nml Minneapolis bo will
ing to put In n club under the nnnio of the
'Twin City club I"1
The letter wont on to say that in case of a
favoriiblo answer hero , overtures wpuld bo
mndo in the next fortnight to Omaha nnd
Kansas City to got these two cities In. If
nil went well , the loiter said , the circuit
would bo made up of Boston , Baltimore ,
Philadelphia , Washington , Columbus , Louis
ville , St. Louis , Chicago , Milwaukee , Twin
City , Omaha and Kansas City.
Tbo letter said matters had boon arranged
for a iltib In Chicago , nud that all the clubs
of the prusont association had announced
tholr Intention to stick. There was only one
doubtful club , Columbus , and If that dropped
out the plan was to put a club at either De
troit or Indianapolis.
Tlio proposition 's very favorably received
here nnd if the opportunity Is offered n club
will bo put In. An attempt is bolng tnado to
interest big capitalists and It Is said Calvin
S. Goodrich , manager of the Intor-Urban
street railway lines , Is witling to back the
enterprise heavily. A millionaire Minne
apolis clothier has also expressed a desire to
put 4 5,000 Into the schomo. It Is said It will
not bo difllcult to got pledge. ) oi $100,000 , In
the two cities for a team and grounds.
In case of the deal going through 510,000
cylll bo put Into grounds nt Snolllng avenue ,
which will bo lilted up not only for base ball ,
but for tennis , cricket and lacrosse games ns

Leiffhton , John F. Plumtner , .lesso Spaldlng ,
Utifus H. Bullock and Joseph W. PndJock ,
the government directors of the Union Pa-

secretary of the interior their annual report
as folio Wi :
Kor thu year 1)0 ) , as comparnd with 1830. llio
gross earnings of the I'nlon Piiclllc railroad
Incieased jc.w.r > W , whllo tin ) net earnings de
creased 11,011,1)20. )
For the same period the gross earnings of
all the roads composing the system Increased
iKI.07l,01s } , whilst the net earnings decreased
Tlie causes of this diminution In the net
corning * were mostly of a general Character ,
common to all the railways of the west , and
arose chlolly n-oni the exceedingly low rates
prevailing over llio greater part of the terri
tory covered by the system. The fact that
the liu'rcnsnof nhotitiWiiH.OJQ In gross earn
ings was mreetud nt an increased expense Incest
cost of oDoruting und m ilntenanco of about
$ . " > ,000,000. renders the onnluslou inevitable ,
that , after making full allowance for all loeal
and exceptional requirements for Increased
expenditures , a largo portion of the business
of the year was secured at rates Involving ab
solute loss.
The event of the yen r , to which wo feel culled
upon to direct the attention of-the depart
ment has been the financial embarrassment of
thu company , brought about by conditions
Impairing the ability of the company to carry
Its large ( touting debt.
Tlio gross lloatlng debt of the company on
thoillstof December , iSnl ) . was 42U.IUI.OOO. and
although at limes materially le s during llio
yeaIt reached , on the Hist of December. IfW.
j > JIl'JOiOO. ' ( Of this amount about JI5OI,030 ) )
was tlio result of expenditures and advances
In the construction of branches and tributary
lines , or the purchase of stock In such lines
for the purpose of control , nnd was fully
represented by securities of equivalent or
creator value In the treasury of tlio company ,
lint under the condition of the money market
In the autumn of ISUO. brought about primarily
through the umbarassment of large financial
houses In London , the market for Investment
securities of all kinds , bath In this country
and In Europe , was sorlouslv Impaired and
the company was iinublo to dlspo.su of them.
A lloatlng debt of such mugnlludo. however
well represented or secured , is ulwujs to bo
deplored us subjecting the company to embar
rassment from great monetary disturbances ,
and must bo frequently curried through by
temporary loans ut rates ot interest entirely
Incommensurate with the security offered.
The policy of tlio Union 1'uefflc Kullroad
company in acquiring coittrol of tributary
lines , either through the purcliusoof stock or
advances In aiding construction orolherwl.se ,
has been frequently dlscmsied.
Wo have no hesitation in saying tlujt'such .1
policy Is absolutely necessary to the prosper
ity or the system. It maybe doubted If the
company could huvo'iiiulntalned Its solvency
except through such u polloy , Tlio tlmo wus
when the I'nlon I'ueillo commanded at full
and remunerative rates the whole business of
the country tributary to It. Hut year by
year tlio territory lias been Invaded by other
railroad systems , und.ut tbo present tlmo. not
only trans continental trullic.but that of every
stute and territory through which It runs Is
divided between many competitors. To huvo
maintained a policy of passive submission
would have been equivalent to a voluntary
nsscnt to tl.e bankruptcy of the system. How
ever much the policy of securing unxllluy or
tributary lines has ut times embarrassed the
company , und whilst the terms and conditions
upon which some have been acquired might
bo open to discussion , the policy , as a whole ,
has been and must continue to be an Impera
tive necessity.
Wo believe that as a whole it Is hereto
fore been wisely , eonservatoly and honestly
carried out , with a single and disinterested
purpose , and that tho" Union 1'uelflc railroad
proper , upon which the lien of government
rests has beon.througli that poliey.mude vastly
more valuable und the security of the govern
ment enchanced. Every mile of road con
structed and purchased bus brought addi
tional tribute to the trunk line.
In the year 1MHI about 120 miles of now road ,
exclusive of sidings , had boon added to the
system. In November there was under con
struction In t'tah ubout 120 miles from Mllford
to I'loohc. upon which nourly 8l,00i,000 has
been expended.
In Oregon and Washington about SI.SOO.OCO
lias ueon expended on the I'ortland & I'ugot
Sound road , Including the bridge across the
Columbia river. All this work was Immedi
ately suspended on' thu llrst suggoston of
llnunclul danger , and has not us yet been
resumed.
Every effort was made to retrench expendi
ture In every department , und It wus hoped
thut no extraordinary measures would become
necessary to protect Its credit
A crUls in the financial affairs of the com
pany was , however , reached in August 181)1. )
It became Impracticable , If not Impossible , to
carry the largo lloatlng debt any longer
through the banks and trust companies und
It becumo necessary to fund It. ut least for a
period sulllclont to unable the company to
market Its securities , most of which wore
already hypothocutoJ in the temporary loans.
.Measures were adopted at the meeting held
on August Hi , providing for thu issue of notes
to tlio amount of $2tOOJOi,0 , running for throe
your ? ut O.'iJ per cent , and huvo at this date ,
wo are Informed been taken or agreed to betaken
taken by creditors und others to the
amount of ubout two-thirds. thus
relieving the llnancc.s of the com
pany from any present embarrass
ment. To sooiiro these notes the company
has pledged all Its stocks and bonds In branch
und auxiliary und Its extensive coul and ex
press properties. In fuct every available asset.
Tim deposit of securities has been mads with
Drexel , Morgan & , Co. as trustees , and the
sale or disposition of them and the payment of
notes are to be under the control und direc
tion of a committee of live , to bo composed of
throe creditors und two directors of the com
pany , with power to add to tholr number.
A resolution wus unanimously passed at the
meeting requesting the committee to add one
more director to their number , but wo uro not
advised that any such action has been taken ,
llolli the letter and spirit or section M of tlio
uct of July I , ISC' . ' , \\ould seem to require such
representation upon the committee.
The government directors hnvo , after care
ful consideration , reluctantly concurred In
the course of action adopted us presenting ,
apparently , the only moans of relieving tbo
company , but wu cannot but regret tbo tem
porary character of tlio provision for rulluf ,
and the additional fact that It , hits become
necessary to hypothecate not only the bonds ,

tains the presidency nf the organization ; the

Father U'llilam Tnerbor of SI. Louis , secre

place for holding the next mealing.
A spread , nt which Archbishop Wutsor ,
Bishop Otto Scurdotti , Bishop Wlggor nud
some t00 ! Oonnan priests partlclpntod closed
the congress.
The greatest surprise connected with the
meeting of the ( iormnn-Amorlcan clerical
union In this city came out tonight. The son-
sntlon was caused by thn leaking out of the
fact that Herr CahOnsly's personal repre
sentative hud been present In tlio city Ihrough-
otit the week's deliberations , and was only
trovonled nt tha last moment from making
the opening address of the congress , It hav
ing boon mndo plain to Herr Cnhensly's
envoy the Intolerable portion in which the
clerical union mul the eonirress would bo
placed by him In the event of such n connec
tion between them bolng publicly established.
The full text of the speech that was thus
suppressed was tonight secured by the
Associated prosj. Paul Marie Baumgiirton
Is the full name of the envoy , and the
Callously plan , as far ns known pub
licly , has boon to secure what would
amount to a Cicrman-Amorlcan hierarchy in
AT.orlcu , independent of the present Catho
lic bishops , whoso authority would bo thus
relegated to thu affairs of tne non-Uormnn
spanking Catholics. Failing In this tno va
cancies occurring in the hioarchy of the
United States were to bo tilled to the greatest
extent possible by German ecclesiastics.
It was denied by several priests that Herr
Baumgarton had taken actual participation
In the secret proceedings of the congress.
Herr Ununigarten himself , in an interview
with the Associated , press representative ,
replied that he had corno to America for the
purpose ot" attending the congress , and
denied also that ho was co-operating with
Herr Cahonsly. Ho admitted , howoyer , that
ho was privy chamberlain of his holiness ,
and was in training in the academy of noble
ecclesiastics In Homo.
"Aro you not in sympathy with Cahonsly
or his ideas } " ho wa * askod.
"Not in the least , " ho ropliod. "Why , it
is nonsense to think of such n thing. Vou
niav deny that absolutely. "
Bnumgnrton's suppressed speech was evidently -
dently written under the impression that ho
was to address n lar ro number of the higher
clergy. The speech begins "Most rcvorcud
archbishops nnd .pjshops , highly respected
president nnd ths ) distinguished audionco.
This speech wuj-mly nnd eulogizes Wind
horst. Ho alsoywtuplaiiiod bitterly against
tno Italian state aclfools spoiling the youth
and transformiufrthcm into enemies of the
church. The Ijgli ] father had endorsed

those who will persist In comparing the

there comes now nntl then n nervousness

TOPBK * . Knn. , Sept , 21. Because she
would not marry him Elijah Watts , u
drunken printer , shot and mortally wounded
Mjss Katie Holloran this morning and then
blow out Ins own brains.
Miss Hullorau was a printer at the Capitol
oflleo. She quit work at i ! o'clock this morn
ing and started for her homo at Second and
Quincy streets , accompanied by another
printer. \ \ atts , who had frequently accom
panied her homo , know the route she always
took , and secreted himself behind a barrel at
Second and Quinoy to wait for hor. Just as
she passed ho snot her below the right
shoulder.
Watts mode no outcry , but started to run.
Three shots were hoard and the police found
his body within n block of the rnurdor. Ho
had shot himself just below the oar , the bullet -
lot passing out near tha lolt. Ills body wa *
convoyed to an undertaker's and Miss Ilal-
loran taken to her home. The physicians
summoned aflor the first examination
thought the young woman would recover ,
but later gave up nil hope.
This was the second attempt Watts had
made to kill the girl. About two months
nL'o , whllo on n drunken spree , ho entered
Hall ft O'Donnell's ' printing establishment ,
where she was employed , and tried to shoot
her. Mr. Boan. tlio foreman , knocked him
down. He was then arrested on n charge of
assault with intent to kill. The printers
took an Interest in the case , and upon hU
agreement to leave town MIsu llulloran
agreed not to prosecute and thu caio was
dismissed. Watts remained about town mid
about two weeks ngo was laid off bv Fore
man Bean for drunkenness , Miss llulloran ,
mcnnwhilo , had secured work on tlio Capi
tol.
Yesterday morning Watts armed himself
with n.4l-call'jor ' revolver und announced hU
Intention to kill Beat1. Ho was drunk , and
but little attention was paid to his throat.
Ho was continually talking about Miss
llalloran and declared that If it had not
been for Moan she would have married him.
Wntts and his victim became acquainted
last winter , when both were omplovod ut
Hall & O'Donnell's. ' Miss llalloran was a
comely girl , about 2'i years of ago , and the
support of a widowed mother and two chil
dren. She was a great favorite in the oflleo ,
but was so persecuted by U'atts that shu
sought employment elsowhcro.

Special to Tin : UKK. | I hnvo Invcstlitntoil
tlio case of the mysterious refugees who were
smuggled nboard the flagship Sun Francisco
In the harbor of Valparaiso on September lit ,
the night before the vessel sailed for Cnllno ,
n fnt-t which gave rise to the rumor , gen
erally believed , that ox-Prosidont Dnlmaceda
was ono of thorn , It being argued that such
pains to pnMorvo secrecy would not
hnvo boon taken with any loss Im
portant n personage. I llml that
the refugees were Availo Vicuna ,
the deputy nnd Colonel Vidaurro , the presi
dent of the court that tried the young mm
for conspiracy nt Los dittos on the day before
the biitU'o of Concon. The prisoners , forty-
two In number , who ngcs ranged from 111 to
IS years , were afterward massacred nnd
their dead bodies subjected to frightful Indig
nities. Minister of Justice Krrnguru of the
Chilian provisional government on September
12 I.sstiod nn order to Prosecutor Fiscales
directing him to nrrost , If possible , all these
Bnlumeodlsu who were guilty of nets of
cruelty nnd to innko special efforts to cnpturo
the parties losponsiblo for Iho Los Canes
outrage.
it may bo Imagined what little show of
Justice Senor Vicuna and Colonel NIdaurro
would hnvo had at the hands of tholr revengeful -
vengeful enemies. It will also account for
the cxtromo measures of precaution adopted
In gettlnii them through thoroughfares filled
with their foes and the retlcenco that fol
lowed their arrival on the San Francisco.
There is no doubt that their lives would
have boon sacrificed on the spot by the mob
if the fugitives had been detected In their at
tempt to escape.
There nro now no loss than five Bulinu-
cedlst refugees In this city. Perhaps the
most prominent among them is Clnudis
Vicuna who , under Biilmaceda's gov
ernment , was elected to succeed
him as president of Chill , hut
whoso election has been ignored by the Junla.
Bulmaceda's ministers , Godroy , Bnrrados ,
ICspinosn and Pcro/.mont , uro also here us
well ns Admiral Viel , the governor of Val
paraiso , nml Morngo Fnentis , who com
manded the torpedo cruisers Condill and
Lynch , which sunk the congressional 'war
ship Blanco lincalado in Calder.i bay. I have
talked with all iheso prominent Bulmaccdists
on the stnto of ntTair.1 in Chill nnd they have
fully given their opinions. Kvory ono of
them expresses the strongest doubts ot the
stability of thn present government , in sup
port , of this belief It is .stated that there are too
many parties in Chill and that their Interests
uro radically opposed. The common people ,
it Is urged , are not satisfied with matters as
they stand and nro bound to make them
selves heard in opposition.
The refugees nlso call attention to the nets
of the supporters of tno now government in
destroying the property of senators , depu
ties and oftlcors who were adherents of
Bnliuacodn , and rny that .such spiloftilno.ss is
c'Ttnin to crouto a bad impression on Uo
country nt largo. It is also alleged that nt
the instigation of the so-called rcvoltitloinjry
committee In Santiago , the city was , for n
lima at least , turned over to the mob nnd
that wanton destruction of works
of art followed. \ \ hat made the
pillagu nil the more unpardon
able was the fact that the mob
was unaor the direction of a number of
young men of good families. Furthermore ,
tbo refugees critfcixe mostsovoroly the action
of General Jose Urribum , the minlstir of the
Argentine Republic , In permitting tno sulcldo
of Baltnacoda , for that , is the way thn.v put
It. They say that the nnto-mortom letters
writton.bv the ox-presidont.shoivvory moarly
that the now government did not intend t >
observe the laws of the onu n try. The
Balnmcodlsts also refer bitterly to the hostile
attitude of the ICngllsh toward the estab
lished government all through the struggle
and contrast it most un favorably with what
they style the "correct neutrality" of the
United Slates. They say that this demon
strates the noccHslty for cloaor relations with
the latter government.
The now loaders in Chill , It is furthur
claimed , must build a r.dlroud to IiUhjuo | or
else .suppress tbo navy because so long ns thu
present condition of things exist , the country
will always bo exposed to the danger ot some
political parry coming Into power through a
navy. There Is the | > routes t daniror now
among the largo class of ofllcur.s. The civil
employes were loyal to Balniuccda.
The llnnnulnl situation Is now bad owing to
the Immense rtocro.iso In rovonuu from
nitrates. A government well conducted
should pay olT In two years nil the debt
thus contracted. Such U n resume of the
vlows expressed to mo by the refugees.
Hut everything I * now peaceful throughout
all Chill. The Junta , In keeping with thu
promise made by President _ Moult and Col
onel Canto to the discontented volunteer
troops in Santiago on Tuesday , shipped today
! > ,0i 0holdiors to their homes In the northern
province. * .
Colon l Carvello , who sought refuge on
board of the British naval vessel LI ( Toy nt
Coqulmbo when Hint town w.is surrendered
to the Junla , loft that port subu'iiantlv | for
Cnlluo on tlio British naval boat Arcqulpa.
The vessel stopped at IiMtlquo , and was
promptly visited by an armed foruo of men ,
who arrested Colonel Curvollo on the charge
of appropriating publiu mnnov.
