today between representatives of the Morgan-Hill
people and llsrrlman-Kuhn-Locb
party, with a view to effecting a settlement
of tho Northern Pacific controversy. Krohi
tho rise In Ht. Paul to 170 and Union
Pacific shores to 103, tho stroot Interpreted
the progress of negotiations as favorable,
although many usually well Informed per
sons thought an agreement was a long
way off on both sides. In the meantime
lawyers aro Investigating the situation nnd
pass upon each phnso of the plans pro
posed and their opinions aro divergent,
not only In regard to tho question of retir
ing the preferred Bharcs, but on most
other points raised.
Northern Pacific shares bought In May
by the Kuhn-Loeh Interests aro no longer
held by them In nrgotlsblo form or so
that they can bo readily transferred for
retirement. They have been definitely
turned over to tho Union Paclllc railway
and are now carried In Us treasury, having
been taken up, out of tho proceeds of the
Union Paulflc convertible debenture bonds
sold to Kuhn, Loeb &. Co. All this North
ern Paclllc stock has been deposited with
a Wall 'street trust company, und to com
plete tho legal transfer to tho Unl'i Ta-
clflo tho stock haB been registered ou the
books of the Northorn Pacific In the name
of the trustees, K. II. Ilnrrlmnu being ono of
these, with the bonds Issued by the Union
Pacific, which In part have been converted
Into Its own common shares. Tho question
Is raised how the Union Pacific could sur
render the Northern Pacific stock, which It
took up by the proceeds of thrso securities,
It was stated today as showing how
much has been conceded on both sides
already, that If a division of the Bur
lington wllway between the two Interests
could be made or would settle the dis
pute, that solution would bo accepted.
A prominent banker, who has intimate
relations with both sides nnd who Is Identi
fied with" two of tho railroads mentioned,
said this afternoon that n settlement would
undoubtedly bo reported before long and
that there would be no fight.
Ho adds that such great Interests aro at
stake that neither side can afford n long
contest. At the same tlmo he said he could
not guess at tho moment what the terms
would be. He Intimated that the St. Paul
road would In some way be a party to tho
deal and that the Union Pacific would bo
satisfied.

GREAT NORTHERN REPORTS
Prrxlflcnt Mill Ilovlt'vr the HnrltiiH-
ton Pnrchnsr nnd CirnKrnnhtcat
Posnlhllltlea.
NEW YORK. Oct. 23. (Special Tele
gram.) In the annual report of the Great
Northern railroad for 1901. issued today,
President Hill reviews the Burlington pur
chase and after stating tho well known
terms of purchase suya that becauso tho
transaction was not concluded until after
the close of the fiscal year "neither the
company's Interest in the Burlington stock
acquired nor Its liability on the Joint col
lateral bonds Issued Is taken up In the ac
counts shown In this report."
Mr. Hill reviews the Burllngton'H geo
graphical location. The territory reported
by Its lines, he bayB, "Is of grout extent,
rich in all resources, except timber, al
ready well populated and dovcloped and
containing many large cities." The terri
tory served by the Burlington produces
most of the machinery and implements
used on the farms, in the forests, mines
and mills of the tier of states reached by
the Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
It also produces a large part of the iron
and steel products exported to Asia by way
of the Pacific ocean. Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha and St. Joseph are the largest pro
vision centers In the country. At St. Louis
It connects with the chief cotton-carrying
lines of the south and southwest. On the
other hand, the Burlington territory takes
grain for fattening tho live stock raised
on the northern and western farms and
ranches. It consumes lumber In all shapes
on a large scale.
Hill says that his road hauled 31,863,000
bushels less'of wheat and flax than during
the previous year and the earnings from
theso two commodities were reduced
897,000. The largest part of the increase In
earnings other than traffic from wheat, flax
and iron ore came from business and from
tho Pacific coast. The Immenso timber
tracts in Washington, Mr. Hill says, must
soon supply the demand for lumber In the
prairie states, formerly met by tho cut In
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota. This,
be thinks, will add grently to the tonnage
of both the Orcat Northern and the Bur
lington.
The region of greatest activity In ex
tensions and new road Is In Canada. It Is
very evident that the policy of the Great
Northern Is to secure an American outlet
for the great mineral wealth of British Co
lumbia.

CHICAGO, pet, 23. The Chronicle' tomor

It is the prevailing opinion In local rail
way circles that the Inspection trips of
Cornelius Vandcrbllt and other eastern
financiers over the tlrcfit Western and Rock
Island roads mean moro, than has been
given out by those Interested. That the
Great Western' Is for sale is not doubted
and It Is now believed that the llarrlman
syndicate is preparing to meet Mr. Stick
ney's terms and tako over the strategically
situated system. Jinny are also of the
opinion that the said syndicate has Its eyo
on the great Rock Island property.
On his inspection trip of the Great West
ern yostorday Mr. Vandorbllt wns accom
panied by W. A. Read, the Now York
financial agent of that road. The Great
Western Is practically tho only road la
tho Chlcago-8l. Paul district that has es
caped tho managers of the "communlty-of-Interest"
scheme.
The road Is so situated that It can cause
Its stronger competitors any amount of
rnto trouble. It Is to secure It and clinch
tho combination's fortress In the north
west, It Is believed, that the Harriman
peoplo are planning. It Is said that the
other great combination, the Morgan-Hill
Interest, has been feeling for the Great
Western ond this has stirred the Harri
man people to renewed efforts to obtain
possession of the line.
Today Mr. Vanderbllt, with Ogden Mills,
A. R. Flower, H. H. Golllster, Henry Sel

CHICAGO, Oct. 24. (Special Telegram.)
Jay Gould's dream of an Atlantic seaboard
line with an outlet at New York for his
vast system of railways Is about to bo real
ized by his son, Georgo J. Gould. Tho Van
derbllt, Pennsylvania and Eric systems are
confronted with the early opening of a now
trunk lino road from Chicago and St. Louis
to New York.
As tho tlr3t steps In this move the Wabash
has nrranged to enter Pittsburg from Its
present eastern terminus nt Toledo. This
will give tho Wabash direct lines from' St.
Louis and Chicago to Pittsburg. The object
which the Wabash and other Gould Interests
desire to obtain Is an entrance Into New
York, nnd this Is to be accomplished by an
alliance with the Philadelphia & Reading
and that company's recent purchase, the
Central Rnllroad of Now Jersey.
Behind tho proposed rpute and ready to'
pour their entire eastbound traffic over tho
Wabash-Pittsburg extension and Its, allies
east of Pittsburg are tho Gould lines, ag
gregating 14,745 miles of line, operated as
follows; Missouri Pacific svstom. 5.326

ROUSING REPUBLICAN RALLY
(Continued from First Page.)
as the champion of human rights.. It
stands up, ho said,' to ameliorate t)ie con
dition of tho poor man,,, whatever might be
his color. Tho republican parti-1 U noj
longer mado up exclusively of the poor and
middle classes. It has a good many very
wealthy men In ltd ranks; somo are- mil
lionaires and men who control trusts, but
for all of that Its underlying principles are
for the poor men.
He then called nttentlon to the faot that
the republican party gavo to 'the people the
free homestead law and blazed the path of
empire across tho continent. Mention wns
made of the Pacific railroads and the fact
that tho rails for this road were manufac
tured In this country Instead of being Im
ported. Referring to Importations Mr.
Rbsewater spoke of tho MeKlnley tariff on
tin, n duty having hcen put on tin In or
der to encourage the homo pro'ductlon of
this commodity. Mr. Bryan denounced
this measure, saying that tin could not be
manufactured In this country. "In spite of
Mr. Bryan's prediction," snld the speaker,
"It was only recently that 25,000 men 'cm
ployed In the tin manufactories- were out
on a strike."' '
Career of Itrpubllonn Party.
Mr. Rosewater then spoke of tho mar
velous career of tho republican party, Ho
facetiously admitted that a great deal of
Its success had been due to the stupidity
of the democrats. As to Bryan's attitude
while In congress during tho Northern Pa
cific and the Pullman strikes, the asser
tion waa made that at that perjod of Mr.
Bryan's career he was no particular
friend of the. laboring-mat). Notwithstand
ing Bryan's efforts to have congress, ratify
the Philippine treaty, since: tho treaty was
adopted the leader of the democracy has
talked constantly of Imperialism.
In closing Mr. .Rosewater said that he
could -not go. over the ground already tra
versed by the other speakers. He said;
"You have all seen the candidates present
tontght. Thoy merit your support. Do not
let anyone coerco' you, but do your duty as
citizens and as American citizens exer
cise your own Individual preferences."
At the conclusion of-Mr. Rosewatcr's ad
dress the meeting adjourned.

BUCYRUS, O., Oct. 23.The peculiar sit
uation Is presented In Ohio of "two parties
not only differing on Issues but as to what
nro tho Issues. Al tho republican opening
rtt Delaware last Saturday none of tho flvo
speakers referred to state Issues. At tho
democratic opening of the campalgu hero
today state Issues were pnramount In nil of
the twelve sneeehesof tho afternoon and
'night meetings. Nearly nil tho speakers
denounced whitt they called "flrlug from be
hind the tomb of McKlnley.'
Colonel Ktlbourno compared tho platforms
and discussed both state and national Issues,
is did alto Charles Baker, who Is con
sidered tho democratic Candidate for sen
,atcr. Baker opened, saying tho republicans
layered n canal lu Nicaragua while they
,had allowed tho Ohio canals logo to electric
traction companies without compensation.
He stated that the republican leaders were
seeking' to divert attcntloil from the Ohio
question by discussing foreign' questions.
General Daughcrty, General Flnley, An
.thony'Hqwclls, Congressmen Anderson, Zim
merman and McCarthy vere nil In tune
,with this "keynote, .but, Its most forcible ex
"ponc,nt wns Mayor Thoniss Johnson of
Cleveland, who, blirlcquod republican ora
tors In Ihelr attempt to carry the war Into
the Philippines, Porto Rico nntl t'ub.v and
krep attention from exciting conditions In
Ohio. He also, burleqqued Senator Hniina's
watchword of "Let Well enough alone,"
clnltnlng that the trusts and others "escap
ing their proportion of taxntlon all had a
battle cry."
Then he detailed, the extent of the In
crcaso ot the taxes this year In Cleveland
of Senator Hunnn and said: "If the same
policy were pursued elsewhere' In the stale
the people would, appreciate the dcplre df
some persons In wanting to 'let well
enough nlone,' "
The demonstration of tho day occurred
whllo Johnson, Baker, Norton and others
tua'dn their charges of injustice and neglect
In state affairs. '

This cUy was founded by the grandfather
ot Colonel James Kllhournc. tho democratic"
candldnte for governor, nnd was' selected
for the opening demonstration on that ac
count. It Is the county neat ot ono of tho
strongest democratic couutlcs tn tho stato
and everything Indite city, which was very
profusely decorated, was glvc.il up to the
celebration. Tho speakers Included Colonel
James Ktlbourno, Hon Anthony Howclls,
candlduto for lleutonnnt governor; Mnyor
Tom L. Johnson and Hop. Charles W. Baker,
cnndldalo for United Staten-Bonstor, In ,t)irt

of Colonel Ktlbourno, for the nomlnntlon
for governor lit .the last convention; Con
gressman James A. 'N. -Norton und others.
General E. 'B. Flnley, formerly congressman
from this district, vyas the presiding officer
for both meetings.
The most lively scenes wcre'pn the ar
rival of Colonel Kllhourne, Hon. CbarJeif W.
Baker, Hon, J, L, Zimmerman and- other
leaders of the escorting, clubs, from Colum
bus and Mayor Totn'L.. Johnson and his

Among those on the KIBioiirno excursion
train from 'Columbus was Congressman
John J. Lentz, who opposed .the nomina
tion of Kllhourne. Ix'ntz. was accompanied
by Mayor Htnkle of Columbus nnd mem
bers of bis cabinet. Somo of tljo enthusi
asts charged thit Lcntz hnd boon opposing
Kllbourne and ntttimptcd to put him oft
the train.- Although- the yels, "put him

gressman Lentz remained In line and par
ticipated In tho proreedlngs of the day.
The parade of clubs did not reach the
speakers' stand until 2:45 ;. tn. Tho
speaking Intitod until 5:10, when a recess
was tuken before. the, night meeting. Among
the distinguished guests on the platform
was Congressman Lcutz, who during the
purade rode' In- the sumo carriage, with
Chalrlnnn Daugliorty, Mayor Johnson of
Cleveland nnd Mayor Hlnkle ot Columbus.
Tho unpleasant Incident on the train 'from
Columbus' Was apparently wiped out by the
later TlemonstrntloiiH of harmony:, In-accordance
with the policy o'f-both Governor
Nash nnd Gcncrnl Kllhourne, who- are
neighbors In Columbus, no personalities
have been Indulged In this year.
