. CIIICAOO , Nov. 20. [ Special Telegram to
Tun Bun , ] Before the session of the board
of lady managers of the World's ' fair opened
today the southern members mot In caucus
and decided that of nil their sister managers
Mrs , I'otter I'ahncr of Chicago was , by her
tact , firmness and well known executive
ability , ca5lly chief and , therefore , promi
nently fitted to rule the board. In addition
to this , these ladles ctitno to the conclusion
that It would gracefully round out the elec
tion of Mrs , Palmer if her nnino was put In
nomination by Mrs. John A. Logon , who ,
possibly excepting Mrs. Palmer , was the
highest in the esteem of all the managers.
It was a neat hit of strategy
which these southern ladles accomplished.
Mrs. Palmer is a Kcntuckhiu by birth , nnd
In her election to the high office , her natlvo
state and her adopted city are highly flat
tered ,
After Mrs. Palmer's nomination , Mrs ,
Trautmann of New York said she wanted a
president outside of Chicago ami nominated
Airs. Logan as u woman who was broad lu
every sense of the word and able to judge
women nnd govern them , but Mrs. Logan de
clined to bo a rival of Mrs. Palmer and tbo
latter was unanimously choicd with cheers ,
waving of handkerchiefs and general ap
plause.
As Mrs. Palmer ascended thu platform a
vote of thanks was extended to Mrs , Feltou ,
the retiring temporary chairman. These
formal preliminaries ended , Mrs. Palmer nd-
di'cstcd tlie commission , thanking the mem
bers for the honor conferred upon her am'
asking their indulgence In the future.

CHICAGO , Nov. 20. U'hen the National
commission resumed Its session this morning ,
the trouble between the Kxccutlvo nnd For
eign Affairs wns settled by the adoption
of n resolution setting forth that no disre
spect to the foreign committee was Int'euded ,
but simply an Intimation th'it owing to tlio
state uf funds available , strict economy was
necessary In all committees. The auditing
committee reported the expenses of the com
mission to date to oo $51,000.
The report oC the committee on buildings
and grounds was then taken up. This Is one
of the bombs which was expected to oxplouo
with great violence as it embraced the ques
tion of what proportion of the fair should bo
placed on this' lake front. It recommended
that the flue art and decorative art buildings ,
the music hall , electrical display , water pal
ace and .steel tower , with otner germane ex
hibits to bo placed on the Lnlco Front with
the muin department buildings , government
and state exhibits In Jackson Paris and tbo
overflow in the midway plaisanco and Wash
ington park. Commlssicncr Do Young of
California , who Introduced a resolution sev
eral days ago rescinding the acceptance of
the sites , announced be had not called It up
because ho and all were now satisfied with
tno manner in which the buildliiL's had been
allotted. With all the mala exposition , build
ings grouped together he did not care what
side affairs were put on the lake front. Ho
moved to strike out the words "dcror.itlvo
art bulldlgn , " that the meaning' might bo
clear. Mercer of Wyoming , strongly ob
jected to anything but the art. gallery going
on the Lake Front. Ho also filed a protest
against the double site submitted by thirteen
different associations. ' Sowcll of Maryland ,
Jones of Missouri , nnd other commissioners ,
including President Palmer , spoke la favor of
the report. Do Young and Mercer's amend
ments were voted down and the report of the
committee adopted , finally settling the vex
atious site jiuestion.
Commissioner St. Clalr opened up the seri
ous question of tha relative Jurisdiction of
' ho commission and directory. Ho offered a
osolutlon accusing the commission of delay In
presenting plans und a failure to recognize
properly the director general. The resolu
tion asked the chairman of the standing com
mittees to report on the situation. A dis
cussion arose over the preamble , whicn
criticised the action of the local di
rectorate. Jt was pointed out in
io discussion tnat the appeals as to
i clash between the two bodies could only
DO taken to congress , which would mean a
ratal delny to the fair. A number of amend
ments were offered to the resolution nnd
finally the whole wnttcr of'jurisdiction was
referred to n committee of six. St.-Glair.
DoYoung. Lindsay , Musscr , Waller and

plan of procedure as soon as possible.
After the adjournment of the commission
Vice President Bryan of the local directory

mittee would agree upon a settlement.

Drum , Nov. 20. [ Special Cablegram to
Tun Br.n , J United Ireland says : "Ireland's
character for morality will intensify the
scorn of the j > eoplo for those cnntlnif hypo
crites who thlnlc that publicity Is the essence
of sin. Now , " It says , "Is the tlmo to re
pay Parnell for his public service. In reply
to affected purists and pharlsecs Wo say : Wo
have our leader and IIIC.MI to kcop him. "
The Irish Cotholli says Parnell has sinned
nearly as much ngalnst Ireland as against
morality , but the grave political exigency de
mands that ho continue to bo the leader of
Ins party.
The Freeman's Journal , In Its Issue today ,
states that the government h considering a
surprise to bo sprung upon the people nt the
next general election for members ot the
house of commons.
The Labor World , Mr. Michael Davttt's '
paper , published lu London , sayns "Mr.
Pnniell Is under amoral cloud which ho. 1ms
brought upon himself. The crisis which ho
has caused la the homo rule movement Is the
gravest that 1ms occurred In tun years. There
t _ only ono cour.su for Mr. Piirnoll to pursue
that Is , to efface himself from publle llfo
for tbo brief period which must ensue boioro
ho can legally marry Mrs. O'Shea , " The
Lttbor World asks : "Is the people's support
of the homo rule movement to bo Imperilled
by the refusal of Pornoll to separate his
personality from the interests of bomu ridel'1
Mr. Parnell , the paper says , cannot plead
ignorance of the feeling of the liberal party
regarding hla now position.
The Labor World holds that those who
nrguo that the control of the Irish party Is
the solo affair of the Irish people , nud that
nothing will bo Involved or Jeopardized if they
do not repudiate Parnell's leadership , uncon
sciously piny Into tlio hands of the enemies of
borne rule. Others , with surpassing extraor
dinary Ignorance of the necessities of this
political crisis and with wild extravagance of
blind zeal , say that Parnell , as a protcstant ,
is not morally responsible to Catholics. Those
wno advance the latter argument , says the
Labor World , nro shaking the very founda
tions upon which homo rule stands in En
gland.
The paper adds : "Parnell is asked
to make a small sacrlflc In return for the
sacrifices that the confiding nnd generous
people have made for him. Ho must not
consider his own political future in this
crisis , but what is the best c < m'rso to adopt
in the interest of homo rule in England. He
must remember that ho dolled the Irish pop
ular sentiment when lie rode rough shod over
the feelings und opinions of bis own party
when , In 18SO , in the presence of another st-rl-
ous crisis , be thrust O'Shea upon the electors
of Galwny. The wounds thereby inflicted
upon the minds of bis ablest followers nro
yet unheuled. Loyalty to the union' , fidelity
to the cause , compelled his colleagues to
gulp down their indignation. Will Parnell
now nsk a similar sacrifice from his homo
rule friends in England ! "
Tne Freeman's Journal , commcntlngoa the
attitude of Stead In regard to Pnrnoll , says
that bo Is a raging lion seeking to devour
anyone who disputes his argument that Par
nell ought to bo driven into external dark
ness. Stead , the Journal says , has called a
meeting of vigilance associations to consider
whether Panicll Is a lit leader of the Irish
nationalists. In regard to the Pall Mall
Gazette's scepticism , the Journal's London
correspondent asserts that ho has received
Pnrnell's ' personal declaration that ho docs
not intend to resign his leadership. The
wliolo Irish party , the Journal declares ,
stands in a solid phalanx at Parnell's back.
1'arnnll States Ills Position.
LONDOX , Nov. 20. Pnrnell lias sent to
several of his collcacuos a communication to
the effect that as long as ho is supported by
bis colleagues aud the Irish peoplo'ho will re
main at the helm In politics. He says ho has
never sought the office or reward of any kind
from an } ' English party nnd ho dos not seek
their assistance now. The Irish people , not
English politicians , must decide the question
of tha leadership of tlio national party. At
the present critical juncture ) he would bo
false to his duty to Ireland if > ho should do-
scrt the position because of private' ' matters
with which politics have no concern. When
bis mission Is accomplished and justice been
won for Ireland after her long struggle
ngalnst overwhelming odds < the people may
choose whom they will to conduct their local

Nr.vf Yonre , Nov. 20. fSpoclnl Telegram to
Tin : But : . ] The World says the authoritative
announcement is made that Jay Gould has
again acquired control of the Union Paclllc
railroad. The Union Pacific Is vitally neces
sary to the successful operation of Mr.
Gould's ' southwestern railway system. The
Missouri Pacific and Its subsidiary line *
wcro constructed with u view to the most ad-
vnntageous Interchange of business with the
Union Pacific. When Mr. Gould relin
quished control of the latter road four or five
years ago , his southwestern system was cut
off from many t raffle benefits. Charles
Francis Adams succeeded Sidney Dillon as
president of the Union Pacific , and on taking
possession of his ortlco sot out to establish the
roud ns an Independent lino. The present
pltin Is to roltistnia Sidney Dillon as presi
dent of the coinp.my. . General G. lu.
Dodge , It Is understood , will bo made vice-
president. Ho Is now In Europe but will re
turn soon.
In order to bring the Atchlson Into har
mony with the Union Pnclllc , Mr. Gould lias
taken n large stock Interest in the company.
In addition , the Rockefellers , who have con
trol of the Missouri , Kansas & Texas , will
bring It into line with the other roads.
When questioned concerning the Gould
policy In railroad matters , Gcorgo Gould
said :
"I don't know that wo have any other pol
icy than to protect our own property and to
endeavor to have the railroad business of the
country put on a paying basis. The time has
come when railroad management should beheld
held to n stricter accountability. The stock
holders have n right to expect n return on
their investment , nnd not only do they suffer
whou the railroads do business at tess than
paying rates , but business generally suffers.
The policy of rate cutting and ruinous compe
tition that has prevailed among west
ern railroads would not bo tolerated
erated in mercantile business. The
merchant who follows It would speedily fail
and have to stop business. "
Mr. Gould thought there ought to bo n general
arrangement among the western railroads to
do business on a paying basis and , if need bo ,
too , there should bo a central supervisory or
governing power to hold the several roads to
their agreement. Hojsaid that Mr. J. Pierrc-
uont Morgan still had under advisement a re
quest to call together the 111011 who control
the western railroads for a general confer
ence.

block of stock held by C. B. Wright of Phila
delphia , controlled the property , and as Vil
lard generally voted on the North American
as It was in other years , the Oregon Trans
continental proxies and a largo amount of
proxies from German holders , ho was the most
powerful factor at the annual elections.
It has been stated , however , that Villard was
aided in obtaining control of the Oregon
Transcontinental company by the Standard
Oil party , and that Colgate Iloyt reuresented
the Rockefeller interests in both the North
ern I'aciflc and North American companies.
At the elections of tbo Northern Paclllc for
two yenrs preceding the ono just held Villard
was prominent In all the arrangements. Ho
gave early In formation in regard to the ticket
to bo voted by those in control nnd showed
his interest lu many other ways. Ho was
absent lu Europe on October 10 when the last
meeting was held and no Interest was shown
In the affairs of the company by
his representative here. C. B.
Wright was then the ruling spirit
and was apparently in control Villard
was ro-olectert a director nnd so were all the
members of tbo board who had been working
in harmony with him , What is moro impor
tant is that the board of directors then
elected servo for three yours , the term Imv-
iiiK boon extended to that period at a meeting
held on Juno 10. This leaves the present
board in control until October 10,1893.
None of the Rockefellers could bo seen
today in regard to the reported purchase of
over one hundred thousand shares of North
ern Pacific preferred. President Oakcs
said : "I contidimtly believe that the Koek-
orl'ellcrs und their associates have lately
added largely to their holdings of
stocks nnd bonds of the Northern
Pacific company. ' ! . Ho stated positively
that there was no truth in thu report that
Villard would retire or bo forced out of the
company. Other pasties identified with both
interests say that the 127,000 shares of pro-
furred stocK held by tbo North American
comi > ony were hypothecated to secure loans ,
were sold by the creditors and then bought
in by the Upckfullers. As the Kockfollors
tire said to have been heavily Interested in
North American , tbo control cannot bo sum
to have changed hands. The officers of the
North American company admitted that some
of its securities " * have been sold ,
but they decline to state bow many
have been thrown over or what they con
sisted of. These is1 a possibility that the
Rockefellers may hoyu bccomo hostile to Vil
lard on account of | repent developments in the
market , but they hrfiuthe only ones who can
speait In that matter and they refuse to bo in
terviewed. "J
The regular inoMHry meeting of the North
ern Paciflo was * held today , but nothing
transpired to Indlcute/uny chance. No reslg.
nations were recclypd , nnd the only business
transacted wns the"declaring of the regular
quarterly dividend 1 per cent.

A

Precipitate Trouble.
Nr.w YOIIK , Nov. 20. A dispatch from
'hilndclpbla says the failure of Darker
Jrothcrs ft Co. , has been announced on the
slock exchange , The announcement of the
allure here had the effect of depressing the
uat-kct. The members of the firm refuse to
nuke any statement tvunrdhiK their failure.
The suspension is said to have been brought
itxnit by the shrinkage ; In the value of seour-
tlcs and by banks calling In their loans ,
When the announcement- the suspension
was mndo the stock of the Finance company
of Pennsylvania , of which Wharton linrkor
s president , fell from 1X5 to 00 , but it Is
authomtlvely stated the company is in n po
sition to pay every dollar they owo. The
Inn of Barker Bros. & Co. has been ostab-
Islied for fifty-three years , nnd when their
'allure was nnnouuccd many bankers aiul
others called and tendered their sympathy.
The firm of late has been doing very little
business through the stock exchange.
The assignment bus been made to Edward
Mcllor , son-in-law of Wlmrton llarkor. A
dispatch from Philadelphia says : The sus
pension was not imien of u surprise to the
well Informed , tut the firm's credit hr.s been
> oor the past two months. It Is said the Ha-
) | lltlos nro about 3,000,000 , but creditors are
lot numerous. The firm Is said to have an
ntercst iti the stock market , and failed be
cause of an inability to rrnlizo on outside se
curities.
lYlmiham Barker , the venerable founder of
: ho bank , is the father of Wlmrton Barker.
: ho other member of the firm. Ho scorned
overwhelmed by the catastrophe.
Wlmrton Barker said this afternoon : "Tho
assignment was unavoidable. Wo hoped to
avert It , hut It was Impossible. The people
who owed us money and upon whom wo do-
icndcd did not pay us. Of course the condt-
: lon of the money market bus much to do
with the trouble. "
Abraham Barker In December , 1937 , com
pleted his fiftieth vcar as a successful banker.
A. J. Urexcl said : "This is too had. It could
mvo been avoided. Wo would have helped
them out hud they asked. "
The failure was caused largely by various
unprofitable railroad investments.
