NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Special Nspatch to The Chicago Tribune.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-The spirited rise
in Northern Pacific to-day was caused by
the discovery, or supposed discovery, OF a
new pool in Northern Pacific. It is thought
all arrangement will be reached which will
preclude the possibility Of any of the new
shares Of the larger holders being thrown on
the market 10 the near future in any event;
These holders are confident that Il pool can
be formed representing 600 shares
Of stock, which would be con-
trolling interest, except in a very remote
contingency. There arc in existence o., 600
shares Of stock, of which not more than
$4,000 would be entitled to vote at any cleo
tion, as much stock is held i'll small
lots in all parts of the country and
many shares are always lisfranchised. Thus
10000 shares held by one party would be
sufficient to control any election. 1t is ex-
pected that at least 10000 shares for tie pro-
posed pool will come from this city, and the
whole scheme will be put through in twenty
days. Il leading broker said this evening:
If the pool is formed 1t will have the effect
Of making the stock scarce and higher, but
, it. VII bs yery go9d thing for both parties
some kind Of compromise could be effected.

INVESTIGATING ToRNADOEs.

INVESTIGATING TORNADOES.
Mr.. John Il. Merrill, of the United
States Signal Service, stationed ut head
quarters in Washington, ID. c., and who
has been designated by the chief signal
officer To examine into the origin. move
mcnis and effects of the terrible lorna
does that visited sections of our state,
Missouri and Iowa, during the early
part of last month, arrived here Thurs
day, having traced the storm track from
Beloit, in Mitchell county. The first in
disation OF ,tornadie development was
found near that town. Successive for
nations were traced between that point
and Emporia. The scverest damage yet
examined occurred i'll the Solomon val
ley and north of Americas. The origin
of the series of tornadOcs is attributable
to the immense area oflow barometer, in
the centre of which they travel.
On the morning of the day upon which
they occurred, Il triangularly shaped area
OF low air pressure extended from Texas
10 northern Dakota and eastern Ohio.
This condition was caused by the season
OF continued rain and the liberation of
the immense amount of heat required to
convert the moisture of the prevailing
southerly winds from the Gulf of Mexico
into vapOT-cloud. At the same time the
thermometer stood at 30 degrees. This
unusually light atmosphere provoked an
inrushing current of cold, dry and heavy
air of 45 degrees temperature, from the
Rocky Mountain region, and which a
War Department weather map, in the
possession of Mr.. Merrill, shows as
advancing in Western Colorado on the
morning of the 9th ultimo. The north
erly solid current attacked the light at
mOsphere then over our state, fed by the
moist gulf currents, and the contest be-
gan. Within the central path of the
great storm the strife was strongest and
the resistance of the sOutherly to the
heavier inrushing northern wave devel-
Oped the irresistible phenomenon of tor
nadic strength. The numerous water
courses of Kansas greatly aided the pro-
gressiVe formations, and the devaSting
swath turned southeasterly from Beloit
TO Emporia, thence northeasterly, cross
ing northwestern Missouri and entering
southern central Iowa.
The object of the official investi cation
is to obtain reliable data concerning
these phenomena, by which 10 dcduce
some laws governing the formation and
movement by which their effects can be
in some way ameliorated.
The study of tornado development is
comparatively a neglected science, the
secrets of which our Signal Service hopes

An Interesting BID of HIstOry,

WASHINGTON, July 7.-An official to.
day looked up the facts of the case OF
the attempted assassination of President
Andrew Jackson. 1t took place Janu.
airy 80, 1885. President jackson was
passing through the Rotunda of
the Capitol attending the funeral
of a member of congress accom-.
panied by two gentlemen. one on each
side of him. He was walking along and
did not notice the approach of Richard
Lawrenson, an Englishman and house
painter by trade, who drew a pistol
from under his cloak and fired. Being
flint lock the powder did not catch
and no explosion took place. He then
drew a second pistol but that too did
not go off Lawrenson was arrested bat
was never brought to trial. He was sent
to the insane asylum and as far as known
never came from there. It was found
that he was insane and labored under
the impression that Jackson's policy
had brought about the hard times which
then prevailed.
Should the President recover this case
will only be an assault with intent to
kill, the extreme penalty for which is

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL

The comet and Mr. Plat seem to be
vying with each other in the dizzy speed
with which they are rcceding from pub
lie attention.
We infer from the reports of the cool
breeze that is contributing SD much TO
the Presidents comfort that Mr.. Conk-
ling must have arrived at Washington.
The wOOd-cuts of Gulleau which have
been published in the papers tend to
confirm the popular conviction that he
would make the finest corpse in the
country.
Three Presidents died on the 4th OF
July. John Adams and Thomas Jeffer.
son died on the fifteenth anniversary OF
the Declaration of Independence. Mon.
roe died July 4, 1881.
Kansas City Times: If Garfield should
survive, Conkling's chances OF becOm.
ing president in 1894, are something
similar to the possibilities of Plat re.
turning to the senate.
"Platt may cease, Dcpew may fail, and
even Wheeler and Cornell may vanish
away. But 1 am still on the track OF
that spontaneous vindication,' and don't
you forget it."-R. COnkling.
Mr.. Depew has Withdrawn from the
senatorial race at Albany. He has the
consolation of knowing that he could
have done nothing which the Republi
cans of the country could more cheer
fully endorse.
1t appears that Guiteau was in ~
habit of beating his wife long before III
became insane enough to make deadly
assault upon the President. Everything
seems to point to his pre-eminent avail
bility as n firstclass cadaver.
The announcement that Brother Kal
loch, of San Francisco, will have moth
