CHICAGO, Oct. 1". (Special Telegram.)
An Iowa corporation, capitalized At $100,
000,000 and organized for tho purposo ot
controlling railroad properties to bo bonded
nt between $700,000,000 nnd $750,000,000
such la tho plan In brief ot tho Morgan
Hill syndlcato as disclosed by tho Incor
poration at nurllngton, la., yesterday ot
tho Chicago, Uurllngton & Qulncy Railroad
company. ,
Details of tho plan, which Is by far tho
most stupendous over conceived In tho
railway world, wcro learned hero today nnd
tlioy havo set tho financial and railway
worlds talking. Nono of tho ofllcors of tbo
Uurllngton would consont to glvo the slight
est information regarding tho organization
of tho new company, but desplto this, facts
ramo (o light which made It certain that
tho Iowa corporation Is tho proprietary
company which la to toko over all tho se
curities ot tho Uurllngton, tho Northern
Pacific nnd tho Oreat Northern rallronds.
This being tho case, tho Morgan coterie,
when, tho plan Is perfected, will bo able, by
tho ownership of a bare majority of tho
$100,000,000 stock of tho uow company, to
control-, absolutely threo big railway sys
tems .aggregating over 18,000 miles,' having
a gross-earning capacity' ot over $100,00,0.000
ycarJyVvarid a present capitalization ot
$1'65, 000,000." Furthermore, If It bo seen fit
to do so, tho qoutrol of thesp properties
can bo obtained' without tho payment of a
single dollar of tbo capital stock repre
sented by tho now company. In the opin
ion of tlnanclers, tho schemo is sufficiently
bold to cause a Napoleon in tho gomo to
pauso before taking tho plunge nnd tho ro
nult will be watched with tho most intonso
Interest.
IIiinIn of KxolmiiKe.
In general, tho plan Is for tho new or
parent company to take tho stock of tho
three companies involved and exchango it
fotr collateral trust bonds on a certain
basis. From all the Information obtalnablo
today ,tho basis of oxchango for the North
ern Pacific preferred is ton collateral trust
bonds for $100 each, bearing 3V4 per cent
Interest for every ten shares of stock, and
In addition twenty-five shares of tho cap
ital stock of tho now company. Tho terms
for tho transfer of tbo Great Northern
wtock are said to bo almost double tho
nmount .offered for tho Northern Pacific.
Tho loffer Is paying 4 per cent, while tho
Great Northern,, which Is all preferred
stock, pays 7 por cent.
It Is said that the Morgan-IIIll peoplo
havo determined t6 permit all stockholders,
or rathor to urge all, to accept tho terms
of tbo transfer. Whether or not this will
bo done makes little difference, ns the
syndlcnto already controls a mnjorlty of
tho stock of all three companies. Tho
transfer of tho Ihirllngton stock has for
some tlmo been In progress, the terms
being' two 4 per cent bonds for every sharo
of stock. If the ontlro Issue of stock Is
thus transferred tho bond issue for this
company will bo $2X0.000,000.
Wnll Street I)Icuhi-h Drill,
NEW YORK, Oct. 17. Tho Journal of
Commerce tomorrow will say:
Incorporation of tho now Chicago, Bur
lington & Qulncy Hallway company In Iowa
excited unusual Intorcst in Wall street, par
ticularly on nccdunt of reports that plans
wero under way for the clearing up of the
northwestern railroad tangle. The state
ment in the charter of the now company
that It would take over tho rturllngtnn sys
tern was unexpected, In that tho nurllngton
stock was recently retired by an Issuo of
bonds recently guaranteed by " tho Oreat
Northern and Northern Pacllle. Tho theory
was ndvanccd that this was only the nu
cleus of tho. company thnt would ncqulro the
latter two systems ns well as tho nurllng
ton. Tho only Information obtained today was
to tho effect (bt the Burlington system
will be ncqulreil and that, tho now com
pany has been organized to gather in some
of tho mtnoi-'dlvlslmia ot thnt system. This
was not generally understood, as It was
dime ult to sen how tho expense ot organiz
ing a $100)00,000 company could be Incurred
simply to further consolidate Uurllngton
properties which aro already. In compact
form.
Tho earnings of tho Uurllngton system for
tho last yeur aro nearly $750,000 less than
tho amount necessary to pay Interest on tht
new bonds. The. guaranteeing roads, of
couree, nro respopslblo fop any deficiency.
Tly Issuing new stock for- thebe bonds this
burden upon tho Northern Pacific nnd Great
Northern would bo. removed and by retain
ing a majority of the stock of tho now com
pany control ol the nurllngton system
could still be held.

NEW .YORK, Oct. 17. The New York
Medical Journal for Saturday, October 19,
will contain the full olllclal report of the
surgeons who attended President McKlnley
In Buffalo. The report contains upward
ot 6,000 words and constitutes the ofllclnl
record 'of tho Case. Tho report Is signed
by Drs. P. M. Rlxcy, M. D.; J. J. Sherman
Mynter, Roswcll Park, Eugene WflBdln,
Charles Mcllurney nnd Charles G. Stock
ton, as members of tho medical staff at
tending tho late president. Tho report of
tho nutopsy Is signed by Dr. Harvey R.
Oaylord, pathologist to the New York Stato
Pathological laboratory, white tho report of
the bacteriological examination bears tho
signature of Dr. Herman G. Matztugor,
bacteriologist to the New York Stnto Bac
teriological laboratory.
Tho important featuro ot the report In
the' Now York Medical Journal is the em
phasis with which Dr. Matthew D. Munn,
speaking for his colleagues, declares that
there "never, under Ilko circumstances, was
a more harmonious and better agreed band
of consultants," thus setting aside the ru
mors ot disagreement among tho attending
physicians and surgeons.
The report describes In detail the events
Immediately following tho shooting, which
aro already familiar to tho public. Then
follows a description ot the operation In
all Its technical minutiae.
Infection (Snnriletl Aunlnftt.
Tho utmost caro was used to prevent In
fection of tho abdominal cavity and of the
wound by tho most approved modern meth
ods of surgical cleanliness. Tho wounds
In tho stomach were sutured with silk,
using double rows of stitches, so arranged
thnt tho greatest posslblo security was
given to tho sutured spots. Tho applica
tion of these stitches' was attended by
great difficulty, especially the suturing
of tho opening In tho posterior wall of tho
stomach. The chief troublo was tbo depth
of tho abdominal cavity, tho lack of In
struments to draw tho edges of the wound
apart during the sowing and tho lack of
good light. In his comments on the re
port ot tho operation Dr. Mnnn particularly
emphasizes tho disadvantages under which
ho labored when suturing tho wounds In
tho stomach, with tho (ailing light of a
September afternoon. Later in tho opera
tion a movablo eloctrlc light was used with
advantage. Speaking of tho search for tho
bullet during tho operntlon the report says:
Tho operation In tho stomach not being
finished, Dr. Mnnn Introduced his nrms
carefully Into all structures behind tho
stomach. No tnwe of tho bullet or tho fur
ther track of tho bullet could be found.
As tho Introduction of tho hand In this
way seemed to have a bad influcnco on the
president's pulse, prolonged search for fur
ther Injury done by tho bullet or for tho
bullet Itself was desisted from."
Further search might have caused the
death of tho patient upon the operating
table. At tho close of the operation tho
surgeons present unanimously assured Dr.
Mann, in answer to his questions, that they
wero perfectly satisfied that everything that
was posslblo had been, done nnd had no
further suggestions to inale.',1lVas agreed
not to Introduce any use of tho tube In tho
abdomen for drainage, ns this was not
necessary, but the wound wnB not sewed up
so tightly that no drnln.igc could take
placo naturally.
Proicrexs nf the IIIiickn,
Tho report continuos in the history of
the caso after tbo operation. The progress
of tho Illness is given day by day and tho
bulletins as given out by the nttondlng
physicians aro Incorporated In the report.
On tho fifth day September iu toon
place tho much discussed removal of
stitches from the wound in the abdominal
cavity. The report says:
In the evening tho dressings wore ex
amined nnd there was considerable staining
from tho discharges; It seemed to be best
to remove four stitches nnd to separate the
edges of the wound. A llttlo slough was
observed near tho bullet track, covering n
spaco nearly an Inch wldo, tho thlckncwi
of tho flaps. Tho separation seemed to ex
tend down to tho muscle, Tho remainder
of tho wound looked healthy, and It wns
thought that tho Infection was duo to tho
bullet or to a piece of clothing which had
been carried Into the wound at the- tlmo of
tho shooting. The wound wnB then dressed
and on tho following day the patient's con
dition wns much Improved."
Tho findings nt tho autopsy ns well ns
the developments of tbo case during tho
last days excludo all possibility of nbtoluto
lnlury to the stomach by preuiaturo giving
of solid food ns was alleged at thl Ulme
when unfavorable symptoms camo oyyaftor
change to solid diet. On the fifth- day tho
president sipped hot water. Doef Juice was
tho first food taken by mouth after tho
operation. In the meantime, nutritive
cnomata wcro continued, but wero not well
retained. At 8:30 In the morning of the I
seventh day ho was allowed chicken broth,
a very small pleco ot toast nnd a small cup
of coffee. Ho did not care for tho toast
and nto scarcely any of It. The wound had
in tho meantime been doing very well and
was dressed dally after the removal of tho
stitches nnd tho sloughing tissue. Tho
president seemed nt his best and n favor
able result was now confidently predicted.
Thero wns no sign of blood poison or of In
flammation of tho peritoneum.
Pulse Given Only Cnune for Alnrm.
The only alarming symptom was his
rapid pulse, but ns tbo president had
naturally u rnthor rapid pulse, and as It
had been- of a fairly good quality right
along, the surgeons did not nttrlbute very
great Importance to this sign. On tho
soventh day, toward noon, the pulso began
to grow weaker and grew rapidly worso.
Stimulants were given nnd the food wns
discontinued, while castor nil and nn enema
of oxgall woro given to move tho bowls. At
midnight there was some Improvement In
tho pulse after an Injection of salt solution
Into the subcutaneous tlesues. On tho
eighth day the condition of the president
was described as very sorious, as ho did
not respond to stimulation. Stimulants and
Injections' of salt solution, coffee and broth
wero given, but without much effect. At
6:30 o'clock tho president was restless, at
10 p. m. he lost consciousness nnd con
tinued to sink until ho died nt 2;15 a. m.
on September 14.
Iu speaking of the criticism that Roent
gen rays should have been used to locai.o
the bullet Dr. Mnnn says In his report:
"Wo weie often asked why, after "the
operation, we did uot use the X-ray to find
the hullct, In the first placo there were
at uo tlmo uny signs that' tho bullet was
doing harm. To heve used tho X-ray
simply to have satltlled our curiosity would
not have been warrantable, as it would
havo gratly disturbed and annoyed the
patient. Had there been abscess formation
then the X-ray could havo been used."
I'fitlitiloiclitt In Harmony.
Dr. Gaylord's part of tho report is
Ungthy 'and detailed. Nothing of Impor
tance was noticed about tho wound on tho
chest caused by the first shot except that
the urea of skin affected was found to be
dlfcolored, greenish yellow and mottled,
and that there was hemorrhage Into tho fat
under the skin and the abdominal wound
showed no evidence of necrosis or slough
ing. No Inflammation of tho peritoneum
was found. Tho wound In the front wall
of the stomach was found "held Intact by
silk sutures," but tho area of stomach
wall around tho wound on tho posterior
wall of tho stomach was also ot a dull gray
color, but tho sutures held the wound In
tact. IJehlnd tho latter wound thero was a
spot of discoloration which showed that
the healing process had gone back. The
gangrenous cavity found behind the stomach
Involved tho pancreas and tho surrounding
looso tissues, tho bottom of the blind pocket
being formed by tho upper end of the loft
kidney, which was found to bo lnceratcd at
that point to the extent of about two cen
timeters. Tho track of the bullet wns then traced
through gangrenous tlssuo In the tat behind
the kidney to the muscle of the back wall
of the abdomen; tho direction of tho bullet,
however, could not bo traced any further.
Why Uullct Wna I,oft.
Tho search for tho .bullet was most thor
ough nnd painstaking, but In snltc of all
efforts It could not be found, nnd tho au
topsy had to bo discontinued because tho
tlmo nllotted to It by tho family of tho lato
president had already been taken up. Dr.
Gaylord said! "As we wcro satisfied that
nothing could bo gained by locating tho bul
let, which had sot up no reaction, search
for It wbb discontinued."
Examination of tho heort showed that It
was nffected, that fatty degeneration and In
some places fibres showed groups of dark
brown granules, demonstrating n diseased
condition. Dr. Gaylord believed that tho
repair to the stomach wounds had been ef
ftctlvo and that tho gangrcno around these
wounds docs not seem to have been the re
sult of any well-denned cause. He attrib
utes tho gangrenous condition of the tissues
solely to lowered vitality In the parts
whero the nppcaranco of tho gangrenous
matter was found,
In speaking of the causation of the cavltv
behind tho stomach ho says that U must
largely bn attributed to tho action of tho
missile. It may havo resulted from the rota
tion of a nearly spent ball or from tho sim
ple concussion of tho bullet as It passed
Into the soft tissues. The Injury to tho
pnncreas, producing a cavity within It. oc
curred during the passing of tho bullet, be
cause tho cavity wns found walled off nv
fibrin In nn advanced stngo of organization.
There was no leakago of pancrcntlc fluid
into tho surrounding tissues. Tho cxtenslvo
gangrcno of tho pancreas seems to havo
been nn Important factor in the rase,
though It had never been shown how much
of this organ must be destroyed to cause
death. The wound In tho kidnev Is of no
Importance, except as showing tho track of
the bullet. The diseased condition nf the
henrt muscles shows why tho pulse was so
frequent and why It did not respond to
stimulation nt tbc critical time.
No I'miKiinl rerm Founil,
Tho report of tho bacteriologist Is largely
what tho doctors call "nogntlve," as It con
cerns rather tho absence of germs than
their presence.
A culturo Inken from tho wound during
Ufo showed several varieties of gorms, but
such a showing Is rather expected In such
cases. There were, present two of the ordi
nary germs of suppuration and one gas
forming germ of unknown identity. As the
retiilt of an examination of various tissues
nnd fluids removed post mortem In verv
small supplies. Dr. Matzlnger concludes
that "tho absence of known pathogenic bac
tirla, particularly In tho gangrenous ent
ity, warrants tho conclusion that bacteria
Infection was not' at factor In the produc
tion nf the condition found In tho autopsy."
An analysis Jjy-.Dr. H)ll of thd remaining
bullct3 nnd of the, contents, of the cartridge
chambers In. tho murdcror'a pistol showed
that there was no poisonous material, thus
disposing of the theory of poisoned bullet.

tions of that stato havo led to much discus
sion and tho feeling has been genornl that
they ought to bo abolished.
Dr. A. S. Twombley read a paper on Ha
waii, in which be sketched the history of
the territory and reported upon Its present
status. Rev. Douglas P. Hlrnlo argued that
annexation Instend nt ending the Hawaiian
question had merely opened it. The con
trol ot affairs in Hnwall was now In tho
bnnilB ot a small minority, which waa In
competent to wield tho power entrusted to
it.
A lottor was read from ex-Senator Dawes
of Massachusetts In regard to tho progress
of the Indian work and outlining what, In
his Judgment, remained to bo done. Tho
letter was referred to tbo business commit
tee. William D. Foulko of Indiana held that
the present was a good tlmo to labor for
tho Indians, since the head of tbo Depart
ment of tho Interior, the commissioner ot
Indian affairs and tbo president ot the United
States could all be counted upon to pro
mote genuine reform. He felt that the
gront obstacle In the way was tbo spoils

Dr. Lyman Ahbott said that before con

would Ilko to havo tbo question' answered:
"What Is .nu Indian to do who doos not de

Major Marshnll Dught answered that slnco
tho matter of leasing was In tho hands of

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17. Tho triennial

convention wilt bo held In Ronton in 1904.
Tho day was a busy ono in both houses,
much of tho time, however, being tnken up
by the discussion of matters which wero not
definitely decided,
It was agreed to mnko Honolulu nnd Cuba
missionary districts nnd to create tho mis

of Kansas. Tho houses failed to concur,
however, on tho proposed setting apart of a
portion ot tho diocese ot Springfield (III.)
as a missionary district. The election of
Rev. Cameron Mnnn ns missionary bishop ot
North Dakota was concurred In by tho houso
of bishops. Uoth houses agreed to the re

.Solemn I'lnnle.
The closing exercises were impressive.
The bishops, attired in their robes of oftlco
nnd preceded by Dr. Samuel Hart, secre
tary of the houso of bishops, nnd Rev. C. L.
Hutchlns, secretary of the house of depu
ties, marched In procession Into the church.
As they walked up tho main aisle the vested
choir of Trinity nnd the congregation Joined
In singing. Tho bishops were scnted on the
platform Ineldo the chancel and prayer
service was conducted by President Lindsay
of tho houso of deputies, lllsbop Doniio of
Albany then called for a contribution to be
applied toward reducing tho deficit In tho
general missionary fund. The amount given
was uot announced, but wns very liberal.
Tho triennial pastoral letter was read by
Dlshop Dudley of Kentucky.
The benediction was pronounced by Ilhhop
Tuttlo of Missouri nnd the convention ad
journed. Many of tho bishops, presbyters
and lay delegates wlil remain In California
for somo tlmo visiting places of Interest,
but the majority will depart at onco for
their homes.
Tho pastoral letter, which Is very long,
begins ns follows:
The Hesslon of tbo great synod Is ended.
e huvo taken counxrl together ot the
things concerning the kingdom of Ood; we
have made more nearly perfect, us wo
trust, tho organization for the accom
plishment of Its work,,
The letter then reviews the missionary
work of the church, nnd continued;
Tmiclic on ANnnaalnntiou.
, We must hid you note nnd strive .against
the last and most evil result of our ago,
the reckless spirit of Individual license, th
caricature nnd contradiction of that Ideal
of personal liberty which llio church him
created nnd perpetuated among men. The
fool who sniih In his heart there li no
Uod la quick to go forwnrd to tho natural
corollary that thero is no human authority
or right dcmumllug his recognition nnd
obedience: Tho mnn who derides the re
vealed foundation of ull ethical obligation
Is '-.the' easy victim pf tho iIpvII'k delusion
thnt self-interest Is tho solo motive of
liumuti action nnd self-advancement, the
only test of moral conduct. And llnnlly the
detlant denial of the God who orilalneth
flndtt culmination In tho assertion that there
Hhnll bo no longer powers of human gov

obedience has been rendered and nn nnnrchy
Is here ns the legitimate offspring of un
bollcf. Tho crime nt Huffalo a month ngo.
In which the head of jour nation wan tnken
away, wns tlm nnturnl fruit of this tree of
Uod-dcnylng denial. The great and good
president wns slain by the nplrlt of our nse.
We must recognize that this awful crime,
thrlco repeated within forty yours, Is tin
offspring of tho spirit of lawlessness, full
grown to maturity of mnlevolence, nnd that
other children of this same evil spirit nre
close nhout us on every hand, themselves
tho strength of tho family of la wleRsnesn,

Is tho earliest nautical manifestation of
this pernicious lire.
