TIE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Interesting Information from
?, President Harris Obtained
bysa Pioneer Press
Reporter.
From the Pioneer Press. June 23.


Robert Harris, president Of The North
ern Pacific, accompanied BY George
Gray, general counsel, and quite a large
party of personal friends, arrived in St.
Paul yesterday at 2:25 p. m. From the
depot Mr.. Harris went direct to the
general offices Of his company. Until
6 O'Clock he was closetcG with Vice
President and General Manager Oakes,
and President Adams and General
Manager Galloway Of the Union Pacific.
The matter under discussion was the
proposed joint lease of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation to the Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific. Interviewed
last evening, MI. Harris said the lease
had been practically agreed upon, and
would be made as soon as minor details
have BEEN arranged. The matter Of
making the lease was referred to a
committee from the directory of each
road. These committees have met and
agreed upon all essential points Of the
lease. The several directories haye not
had the matter before tht IN since this
agreement has been reached, but their
approval OF the work done BY the several
committees will only be a matter of form.
The laws of Oregon will in no way
interfere with the making Of the lease.
The report that the Oregon Company
was opposed to the lease is without
foundation. That company declined
making lease with the Northern Pacific
alone some time ago, and was the FIRST TO
propose the joint lease, Il has several
reasons for doing this, the most import
ant being the threat of the Oregon
Central cempeny to build its projected
line from Hunnngton, Or. This company
is an Independent concern, organized for
the purpose Of building line which the
projectors hoped would be The Union
Pacife's outlet 10 the Pacific, The new
| line was intended to run from Hunting
ton, the Union Paeitic's extreme western
terminus, and the junction point of the
Oregon Short Line and the Baker City
branch Of the Oregon Navigation, due
west to the Willamette valley, and thence
northward through the valley to
Portland. The building of this line has
beer, a constant menace to the Oregon
Navigation people, and was what forced
them 10 push the completion Of their
Baker City braach to a junction with
1.-The Union Pacific. Now that this
| junction has been made, and the Union
Pacific has an entrance into Portland
there is little Likelihood of the Oregon
ICentral's lins being built. The makins

Senator Evarts Speaks.

Senator Evarts was the guest of the
Middlesex club at Boston Saturday, at
which there was brilliant array of
republicans, including HOar, Dawes,
Robinson, Rice, LOring, and some dis
tinguished men from other states. In
the after-dinner speeches Mr.. Evarts
plunged into politics. He criticised
President Cleveland because of the
geographical distribution of his cabi
net, without denying that the men
composing it are fit and able. He said
concerning the re-appOintment of Post
master Pearson that the president
'dared appoint no other ;" and that
the action of the independent voter in
refusing to support an unworthy can
didate was "a blow at suffrage and free
government that must produce disOr-
der and disaster in this country"
We think the great senator from the
great state of New York has not sized
up the president very closely when he
says he "dare not" and as regards his
opinion and prediction about the indie
pendent voter, Senator Evarts' talk is
truly disappointing to large class
who are looking for craftsmanship in
our leaders rather than parti sanship.

ArbOr Day.
Warmly Welcomed by the State Press.

Landmark 1t is a move in the right
direction. Good taste would dictate
that we repair as quickly as possible
the vandalism of our fathers, who in
their eagerness for few more hills of
corn and potatoes, cut and hacked till
the earth has been denuded of it's prop
er foliage, and the lordly elm, the
graceful maple, the stalwart oak, the
beech and the bass are only seen in
places rare and remote, and their alb
sence has caused the rivers of our boy
hood to dwindle to the rivulets of our
old age.
BrattlebOrO RefOrmer There is a
large practical good to be subserved by
our people coming to realize the value
of trees, and acting in time to save our
forests from the depletion threatened
in the next generation. The increas-
ing value and Importance of the pro-
duct of Vermont naples points out
what should be done. Our sugar can
always be made a great and increasing
source of wealth to the state if we
properly improve the opportunities for
rearing orchards. But if we allow the
forests to be cleared off by lumbermen,
without adequate provision for new
growths, we will find ourselves cut off
from our peculiar and most reliable
source of wealth.
st. Adams Messenger Governor
Pingree went out of the beaten path in
his message to advocate the town sys-
tenn of schools. He has now taken
another departure from the ways of his
predecessors in appointing an Arbor
day. Two sensible things for which
he will receive due credit.
Bellows Falls Times We cordially
second and commend Gov. Pingree's
ArbOr day proclamation. Grounds,
villas and streets may be beautitied,
but even greater than these will be
the replanting, in time, of the waste
and worn out lands of the state.
Woodstock Standard The Govern
or's proclamation is grand step in
practical forestry. He dedicates the
day to a noble purpose.
Montpelier Watchman Gov. Pin
gree is illustrating the truth of Fred
erick Billings remark that the chief
executive of the state "can find many
ways outside of his strictly technical
duties to promote the interests and
good name of the commonwealth"
Tens of thousands of his fellOw-citi-
zens are grateful to Vermont's ArbOr
day governor for his sanction of new
and inspiring state festival. By his
official act he has established a prece-
dent which we predict will be yearly
followed with increasing enthusiasm
and cumulative good, and which the
legislature will make a matter of stat
utOry requirement..
Brattleboro Phoenix Gov. Pingree
has done good thing in issuing his
Arbor day proclamation. His action
shows degree of independence, and
of willingness to assume a responsible
ity, which we like, and at the same
time it indicates a correct appreciation
of what the times demand.

Ex-President Hayes.

People will not soon forget that EX-
President Hayes, although coming into
Office under most trying circumstance
for which he was in no wise response
BILE, yet gave the country so even and
clean an administration as to assure
the triumphant election of Garfield
four years later. They ought not to
forget that Rutherford B. Hayes was
also a Union soldier. In this cOnnec-
ton his remarks to the congress of the
Loyal Legion at Chicago Friday, are
of an interesting character as show
ing that the ex-president does not
share the gloomy views of his secreta-
~ of state (Evarts) and the New York
Tribune, but considers a reunited
country "A result of the war worth keep
ing and fostering. In the address
above alluded to the soldier statesman
is reported as saying '"The vanquish-
ed now admit that in every form they
have gained by this war more than it
can be shown that the victor in any
other war ever gained in any similar
strife. And they now with us are
ready to stand guard around the couch
and the house of the man by whom
they were beaten at Vicksburg, at Mis-
sion Ridge, at DOnelsOn, Mt Richmond,
and at AppomattOx 2, and to say with
us, God bless Grant"

The Nations Patient.

The remarkable improvement in
General Grants condition since the
memorable hour two weeks ago when
his family babe him farewell, and
kneeled around him while Rev. DIR.
Newman prayed that his life might be
spared, continued last week in an in
creased degree.
On Thursday the general surprised
his family by going down stairs unas-
sisted, and into the dining room where
they were at lunch, taking his place at
the table and eating cold mutton and
macaroni-first sending word to DR..
Douglas, with a merry twinkle in his
eye, that the entire family were wait
ing for him. Gen. Grant was reported
to think his disease not cancer, but
an liberated sore throat, and that he
should get well.
The same marked improvement con-
tinued Friday and Saturday. About
noon Saturday, the patient took seat
at the window of the library, and tax
ing up the morning papers sat in the
sunlight reading for more than an hour,
in the full view of passers-by in the
street. The family had a consultation
in the morning and decided that as
soon as the weather would permit, the
general should be taken to the Cats
kills.
The general took 35-minute drive
at 2 p. m. Monday. He wore n high
hat; about his neck was silk scarf,
and closely buttOned about his figure
was a heavy beaver OvercOat. He car
ried a light cane, and unaided, walked
down the steps with a firm step. AS
he crossed the tagging he bowed and
smiled, as hundred hats were lifted
in salute by those who had assembled
on the walk across the street. DR..
Douglas and U. S. Grant, jr., went with
him. On returning, the general left
the carriage first of the party and
walked firmly and unaided up the steps
and into the house.

members of the family, he dragged the
bodies of Mr.. Rudy and the baby to
where the wife and mother lay, made
pile of them, and took a feather and
straw bed and laid them upon the
bodies. He saturated the beds with
kerosene oil and after setting them on
fire, he escaped from the house. No

Apparently confession is sometimes

During the late presidential canvass
many of the jealous friends of the re-

opponent should be elected, all man

They prophesied that something worse
than Egyptian plaques would be visit

who should desert the 'grand old par

There is general satisfaction that
James ID. Fish, ex- president of the Ma
rine bank of New York, which went
down in the Grant and Ward crash,
has been found guilty on ~ out of %
counts of the Indictment, which was
for transportation of funds, false
entries, and abstraction of finds and
credit. No less satisfactory than the
conviction of Fish is the complete ex-
oneratiOn of Gen. Grant developed by
the trial, which has shown how he was
deceived and betrayed by Ward and
Fish. Their stealings amount to about
81, OOO,O 900 in three years. If Fish
should receive the minimum sentence
OH each Indictment he would die in
prison. Application for bail was re-
fused by the court, and the ex-banker
is now in close confinement. He will
have at least month in Jail, as the
