Nee ting of Northern Pacific BondhoIders
An adjourned meeting of the Northern Pa
cific bondholders was held here to-day. About
$2,000,000 of bonds were represented. The
meeting was large, representing all parts of
the United States. The objections that have
been urged to the provisions of the decree of
for closure were obvated by an agreement be-
tween all the parties, which will be accepted
by the court. The different objections to the
plan of the foreclosure aud sale, known as the
Livingstone plan, were harmonized by the
adoption of series of amendatory resolutions.
The meeting closed in spirit of complete
unanimity and with general feeling that the
investments in the road would be saved and
the road completed.
The Uruguayan Exiles.
The political exiles from Uruguay, who have
arrived in this city on the steamer from Charles
ton, will visit Washington, Baltimore, Phi ia
delphia, and perhaps Niagara Falls. A re-
porter called upon these gentlemen at the Ev-
erett House received a detailed report of the
causes which led to their expulsion from their
native country. On February 49, Of the pres
ent year, a revolution took place in Uruguay,
The government established by this rebellion
caused, under the pretence that there was a
conspiracy against the peace of the country, the
arrest of the fifteen gentlemen above named
and eDdeavored to arrest a number of others.
Those who were arrested, after having been
confined in the public prison for about month
were placed on board an old barque, the Plug,
which was placed in commission as man-of-
war for the purpose, and sail was made for
Havana.
They describe the sufferipgs on board of the
PUG as simply horrible. The vessel was old
and unseaworthy, and their provisions were of
the worst description. The prisoners were
auartered on the ships forecastle, in space
barely sufficient to allow them to move about.
Within very short time after leaving port the
water and provisions became spoiled, and the
danger of perishing from being compelled to
subsist on partly decomposed salt beef and cod
fish was added to the imminent risk of ship
wreck, owing to the unseaworthiness of the
vessel The thirty soldiers who were placed
on beard the PUG as guard over the exiles
were discharged in Charleston by the officer in
command, without being paid, and are now
wandering about that city without money or
friends. The exiles propose to remain in this
country until July %, when they propose to re-
turn to the Rio de la Plata, in order that they
may be, as they say, within speaking distance
of their friends and families.

arrived on this evenings train and are quarter
ed at Congress Hall. In the morning they will
proceed to the lake and take up their quarters
at the Briggs House. They are in charge of

a furore in the town. The Amherst crew and
Brown University and Freshman crews went
to their quarters at the lake yesterday. Only
three crews are now absent, Bowdoin, Dart
mouth and Williams. Every day the crews
may be seen pulling over the course, and al
