Rathbun told the Lottlsvltio police today that his wife at Uttlo Hock hart known of his plan to defraud the Insurance company, though not of tho murder feature of It. Tho other features of tho rase today were tho decision of tho authorities to htyc-Ujc body of the supposed Goodman removed to Jeffersonvllle from Little Hock for an autopsy and Identification and the refusal of the local authorities to fend Hathhun to I.lltlo Hock to testify at tho coroner's In quest over the corpse that wan thlpped there.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. While the War department has not been advised of the reported step to secure the release of Agulnaldo from captivity through writ of habeas corpus. It was prepared for a move In that direction. A few weckR ago the first application of this kind was made in tho case of a military prisoner and, as there was some Indication of a disposition ou the part of the 1'hlllpplnc commission to uphold the right of habeas corpus in that case, the department was obliged to cable some Instructions, both to the com mission and to General Chaffee, the re sult of which was a practical dental of the writ.

An far as Agulnaldo Is con cerned. It Is said that his captivity Is only nominal. The only evidence of It consists In the appearance by his side of an army officer when he walks about the town, for he Is free to go almost anywhere. More over, It Is said that this escort Is perhaps necessary to protect Agulnaldo from as sault, as he has been threatened by the secret societies.

"Then ho came on toward mo nnd tho engineer, T. R. Jones. He kept one pistol on me and the other on Jones. "'What does this mean?" said Jones. Ilandll la Kipllelt. " it means that this is a holdup, and that it Is going through,' the fellow- said, ns he climbed on tho seat by the engineer's side." Fireman O'Neill then related in detail the story of the robbery, adding: "After tooting the safe and getting the money, they had horses standing tbre and they rode away on a gallop, shooting all tho while."

Nov. 13.--To Important dt velopments In tho railroad situation in th northwest orcuned today, and both tended to confirm tho existing belief that 11 flnnl basis of settlement of the contest for the control of Northern Pacific had been defi nitely agreed to. Flnnl ratifications of this agreement will bring Into existence the. greatest and most effective example ever known of the community of Interest idea as applied to tho railroad system of the country. The first of today's developments was the Incorporation at Trenton, N. J., of the Northern Securities company, with a cap Itnl stock of J100.0rt0.onn. nnd the econd was the unanimous adoption by the North ern Pacific directors nf a resolution provid ing for retirement nt par of the company's preferred stock on January 1. Ki02. Thre wns a full attendance at the Hirel ing at which this action wns taken, thorn prcecnt Including George F. Baker nnd Charlts Steele, lopresentlng J. P.

Samuel Rea, vice presi dent of the Pcnnsjlvanla; James Stlllmau of tho National City b.ink: H. I. McK. Twombley, for tho Vanderbllts, and Wit Mam Rockefeller. .Met hint of ItulaltiK Fund. The meeting decided that tho fuuds necej sary for the retirement of tho prefurrod stock should be provided for hy tho Bate at par of not lcsn than J7.'.00n,000 of 4 per cent bonds converted Into common vtock, each holder of comniou stock now nutHtandlng being entitled to purchase at par an amount equal to seventy-five. eightieths of tho amount of his present holdings. It was further provided that two dividends of I per cent each be paid on tho preferred stock before its retirement. Samuel Spencer was elected a member of thnoboard Inlplacj of Rob.artnaron.rfc signed, aprt'the board orgarilxedjy ' f electing all of the company' present offi cers. No official statement was obtainable this afternoon as to the scope of thu newly in corporated Northern Securities company, but It was generally understood that tho company was formed to tako over nnd con trol the shares of the Northern Pacific and Orcat Northern railways and of their leased lines. Value nf Hie Stock. Great Northern's outstanding capital la $123,000,000 par value, selling at 200 In thn market, while Northern PaclflcV total out standing stock, after the retirement of thn preferred, will hp JSO.000.000 par value, mak ing a totnl par valuo of $20."i,000,000 for thi shares of these two companies. Al 200 for Gloat Northern the amount would be In creased to $330,000,000 for the shares of the two companies. Burlington shares, It In understood, am not to be turned over to tho new Northern Securities compnny. That stock la now held as collateral for the outstanding Burling ton collateral bonds, with voting rights vested In the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways, It Is understood that Union Pacific nnd Northwestern lnteresla agree to tho retirement of tho Northern Pacific preferred and that Union Pacific will havo a heavy Interest In the capital of tho new company, considerably beyond tho par value of their present Northern Pacific sharo holdings, which are placed at $78,000,000 par value, Just over a majority of tho total, $155,000,000 Northern Pnclflo stock capital . No Information was obtainable as to what share, if any. tho Vanderbllts and the Chlcngo, Milwaukee & St. Paul nre to have In tho new company. I'll I on I'liolllc'x .Netv Potters Undor tho now arrangement the Union Pacific railway will have voting rights in the Burlington, the directors being ahout evenly divided between the Union Pacific and the Hill Interests. The suggestion was madn today that tho Burlington stock may be held in a voting trust, undor the agreement between tha two Interests. In thla caso J. P. Morgan will be a voting trustee. As tho control nf the Burlington road by the Great Northern-Northern Pacific In terests followed by the struggle, for North ern Pacific shares, caused tho affair which reached a settlement, today, the disposition of tbe Burllugtoa naturally Is an Interest ing question. In that regard tho Journal of Commerce tomorrow will say that tho Burlington Is to bo restored by the North ern Pacific and Great Northern, who now own it, to a practically Independent basis and enjoy full nnd free traffic privileges with all its connections. This Independ ence Is to be secured by a leat,o by tho present owners to a new company formed for the purpose. This Is the Chicago, Bur lington A- CJulncy "Railway company," in corporated under tho lows of Iowa with a capital of $100,000,000. I.cnse Not let Announced, The lease will be announced after the meeting of tho old Huillngton company to day (Thursday), but It Is supposed tbat It will fully protect tbe Great Northern and Northern Pacific In their guaranty of the bond by which the Burllugton was pur chased. After the meeting of the Northern Pacific directors .1. J. Hill and Gcorga F. IJ&kxr went to Mr Morgan's office and had a con fereuco with him. Uitcr Jacob Schlft of Kuhn. Loeh & Co. and K. H. Hnrrlman called. All docllncd to be Interviewed. A member of the firm of J. P. Morgan I Co. said thn Northern Securities company would ho tho holding company of the vari ous roads Interested, but be declined to say what railroads these were on the ground that details are not completed and prema ture publication might Interfero with their consummation.
