SUCCESSFULLY FLOATED
Henry Willard Floats a Big Batch
of Northern Pacific Securities

New YORK, Aug. 23.-The Northern
Pacific Railroad company has completed
p sale of about s5,C0O,OOO of its securi-
ies. The available balance of the third
mortgage bonds and nearly S3,O00,0OO of
the branch line bonds make the total
sum. The price and the particular
branch line bonds were not made known
by the officers of the road YESTERDAY.
The sale is to a syndicate headed bv
Henry Willard, and the bonds will 90 to
Europe, where the bulk of the third
mortgage is already held. The transac-
ton is said to eXtinguish the floating
debt of the company and to leave some
thing less than 50. 100000 in the treasury
to be expended in improvements. In
addition to the sale of bonds it was
learned that an Independent company
with a capital of S3,OOO.OOO had been
formed for the explicit purpose of sup
plying the railroad company with equip
ment. Over two-thirds of the capital
has been subscribed. The success of
the scheme has been assured so far that
large orders for engines and cars have
been sent out. The equipment com
pany is composed of large stockholders
and directors of the Northern Pacific.
but it is entirely a separate organiZa-
ton and the railroad is not bound for
anything beyond the rental of the equip
ment furnished to it.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-The general man
ayers of the Chicago and st. Paul rail
way lines met here to-day and agreed
upon a restoration of passenger rates,
which were recently cut by the Wiscon-
sin Central and Burlington roads.
Chairman Abbott was instructed to no
tify the general passenger agents OF the
Seaboard lines that any authority which
may heretofore have been given for the
use of net rates on foreign emigrant
business from Chicago to Northwestern
points, or the use of any commission or
charge for So-called terminal expenses
i'll excess of ten per cent. or maximum
of one dollar on each ticket, was can
celed, and to require restoration OF
full second class rates on emigrant bust
ness, to take effect September 2. The
western and southwestern roads were
requested by resolutions to take similar
action.
The Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City
road has added to the complications
already existing in the Northwestern
railroad situation by further reducing
the rates from Chicago to st. Paul and
Minneapolis to a basis of 81 cents per
100 pounds, first class. The officials of
the road claim that the Wisconsin Cen
trail and the Burlington q Northern
have been secretly making these rates
for several days. The tariff rate by
these roads has been 10 cents, and the
larger roads have been trying to prevail
upon the trio to advance to 60-cent
basis. The additional cut, therefore,
caused no little excitement. Late in
the afternoon it was announced that the
three roads had come to an understand
ing and given notice that they would
restore their rates. taking effect Sept. 2.

After the passage of the inter;
state act the company revised
its rates to prevent redu ctions
from interior points. 1t attempted
to meet competition by establishing the
same rates from Duluth as made by
competitors, but after years expert
ence found that the coal moved at the
busy season of the year, when freights
were moving eastwardly; that it could
not supply cars for the Duluth business;
and its patrons were practically shut
out of the market. A careful estimate
shows that for the last year it lost up
wards of 800 carloads. 1t expects heavy
tonnage to Milwaukee with the new
wheat, and it feels that it ought to send
the coal in the direction of empty cars.
He also states that the rates from Glad
stone By the 500 line are the same as
from Duluth"
In commenting upon the above, the
should be selected as the point from
which the reduction should be made, and
says: 1T is hard to see why the Mil
waukee & st. Paul should make the re-
duction from Milwaukee only and not
from Chicago. The same reasons which
lmpel it TO reduce rates from Milwaukee
also apply from Chicago. The opinion
is that in case the st. Paul carries out
the proposed reduction competing lines
will make correspondence low rates
from Chicago. If this is not done all
the hard Local for points in the North
west will be shipped via Milwaukee and
Duluth"

PRACTICALLY CLOSED.

Which Refers to the Deal Between
the Manitoba Government and
the Northern Paciffc---An Edi.
tors Plaint.
Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man. Aug. 23-From all
that can be learned it believed that
the deal between the Northern Pacific
and the local government has been
practically closed. Hon. Mr.. Martin,
railway commissioner, said to-day. that
the government had submitted certain
propositions for amendment, more
of a verbal than any other character.
He believed that the Northern Pacific
officials would accept these proposed
notifications. If they did not, he be-
lieved the contract would not be rati-
fled as the government had yielded
every point it could, or would yield, it
is believed however, that an under
standing has SO far been reached which
will enable the Northern Pacific people
the question of securing aid from the
city of Winnipeg, Solicitor Mcknight,
of the Northern Pacific, said the clti-
zens need have no apprehenson,a they
would ask no bonus or any other con-
sideration. All they would probably
want would be block pavement to their
station. Editor Luxton, who went to
st. Paul a few days ago to get the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba to make
an offer in connection with the railway
matter, publishes an open letter to-day
charging the government with putting
up distardly job on him, by employing
a detective to shadow him in st. Paul.
The letter indicates that the detective
was Mack Haines, an eX-WInnipeger,
who tried to play LuXton for a sucker,
by seeking to get him to telegraph that
the deal was off. Luxton charges that
the whole scheme was put up job to
damage him. The letter has created
much amusement here.

of the company and would hardly be de-
posed now after such excellent service.

DENOUNCED AS A FALSEHOoD.
New BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. o.
General Manager Stone, of the Chicago,
Burlington 81 Quincy road, who is spend

porter to-day, when he said that the
STORY of his deposition was unqualifiedly
false. He had read the dispatch and
pronounced it one of number of like
stories set atloat by his enemies. On
the day of the directors meeting Mr..
Stone was on a fishing trip.

COAL RATES NORTHWEST
Reduced by the Chicago, MiIwau
kee & ST PauI

The Milwaukee & st. Paul has mott
fed Chairman Faithorn that it proposes
to put into effect reduced rates on hard
coal from Milwaukee to Minnesota and
Dakota points, made in conformity with
prevailing rates from Duluth to the
same territory. The Chicago Tribune
says that ''the rates to the principal
points will be as follows: Aberdeen,
1928; Glendale, 1925; Fargo, 1925;
Wahpeton, STD: Graceville, $3.50; Ap-
pleton, $3.50; Warner, $3.50. 1t is not
the present intention of the company to
apply those rates from Chicago. General
Freight Agent Bird says. that prior to
April 5, 1887, his company made the
was i'll competition with Duluth roads.

Special to the Globe
PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 23.-The flood
is falling and it is expected that by
this afternoon the rivers will have re-
coded to their normal height. The
highest flood point reached was twenty
six feet two inches at 2 p. m. yester-
day. A large part of Allegheny and
the low lying district to the south are
still under water, and the people living
there have either retreated to the upper
floors of their houses OF have temper
arily abandoned their houses alto
gether. Business cannot be resumed
for several days as railroad traffic is
demoralized. The Pennsylvania rail-
road washout is the most serious ever
sustained by the company. The amount
OF damage to railway and other
property cannot yet be correctly esti-
mated, but it will not fall below one
million dollars. The damage in West
Moreland county is reported to be
100000 and that in Indiana county
much more. Four people are known
to have persisted in the floods, namely:
The Rev. N. B. G. Coming and N. G.
Orth, an architect, both of Pittsburg,
an unknown German, of McKeesport,
and Moses Calvin, of Monongahela
City. No eastern mails have arrived
here since Tuesday night.
