made the following statement relative to
the Northern Pacific Raih Dad to Times
reporter last evening: When I was in
Europe some time since, shortly after
the removal of Gould from the Erie rail
road, good many bankers and extern
sive dealers in American securities came
to me for information respecting the
Northern Pacific Railroad. Desperate
attempts had been made to place the
bonds of this Company in the London
Market also in the German markats.-
At this time several prominent bankers
in Berlin, Frankfort and Amsterdam
subscribed and sent out q commission to
this country comprising railroad men.
engineers and men conversant with f.
nancial matters. They travelled over
the entire route of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, and on their return to Europe
drew up two reports, one on financial
matters and the other on railroad enter
prise. These reports were sent to the
bankers who organized the commission,
and they have never been published.
Large sums of money were expended to
prevent their publication, but succeed
ed in obtaining copies in German and
translated them into English, and they
were without exception the most able
railroad documents ever saw. Every
word in the reports carried weight with
it, and the substance of beth reports
was that the railroad was organized on
wrong basis; that the financial organiza.
ton was entirely inadequate; that the
scheme could never be carried out as
projected, and nothing but disaster could
result to those who had anything to do
with the matter. At the same time
they acknowledged that great deal
could be done by the railroads to devel-
ope that region of the country. All eff
forts 10 get copies of these reports were
unavailing. This was about twelve
months ago. The English people whom
I represent are people of large capital.
anxious to invest money IN legitimate
American enterprises, but with the e1..
ample of the Erie before them they are
desirous of removing all these ''. dead
cats :" out of the American markst, and
in my giving them synopsis Of this re-
port they saw at once that it was not
desirable to invest in the Northern Pa
cific, ana through their influence Eng
lish capitalists were prevented from be-
ing drawn into this matter. The reports
had similar effect on the German mar
kets. and consequently Jay Cooke and
McCulloch were unable, in spite their
great influence, growing out of their
connection with the Government and
their high standing in Europe, to get
these bonds taken up to any large extent.
Here in America they scarcely tried it.
They relied entirely on the English and
German markets. and owing to this
careful report of the German Commits
sion the thing failed. That information
has been in the market for some time,
and pretty vigilant eye has been kept
on the Northern Pacific. Although the
failure of Jay Cooke & Co. may create
temporary feeling of insecurity in Eu-
rope as to American securities, in the
end it will do great good, as it would
have been great deal worse had more
of these bonds been taken in Europe

The foregoing report of the Commit
tee on class No. 8, is most respectfully
submitted, with the suggestion that the
display of vegetables is credit to the
exhibitors and to the country. Thepota
toes were fine in quality as well as quail
ity, and it was difficult to tell which was
the best. as the poorest were well wor-
thy of a premium. The squashes were
very fine but many of them mixed. es-
pecially the Hubbard variety, none Of
which in our opinion, were pure; also
many of the potatoe squash were mixed;
hence your committee would recommend
producers to be very careful not to plant
too close. as the mixing spoils the fine
quality of the varieties. The cabbage,
beets, parsnips, carrots, turnips, cauli-
flowers. etc. were of fine quality but
not so large quantity as might be
wished.
