A Railway Trust.

said to have been sent to railroad managers
generally:
New York, July s.-My Dear Sir: As the inter-
state commerce bill has abolished the pooling
arrangements heretofore existing between the
trunk and other pool lines, the necessity for
some system of regulating and controlling their
traffic seems to be as great, Ii not greater. than
ever befole, and some new plan must at an early
date be devised therefor. Such plan, to be eff
fective, should cover the following points:
First Maintain all the equities not only be-
tween the railway companies themselves, but
also between their respective stockholders in
terests.
Second-Continue the legal and all other rela-
tions of the respective railway companies to the
United States and the several states under
which they are organized as at present
Third-Secure unity Of interest upon an abso-
lutely equitable basis in the ownership, opera
tion and earnings of all the lines.
This being accomplished the weak element 9
of all pooling arrangements and the temptation
to the companies to cut off or destroy the same
will have been removed, and the power of large
shippers to play off one line as against the other
will be reduced to the minimum, if not
destroyed. The above and many other de-
sirable points which will readily occur
readily secured, ard secured only by placing at
least ma ajority of the shares of each of the COM
geting Eastern trunk lines, the coal lines, the
Southwestern and Northwestern lines and the
transcontinental lines and their respective afli-
ated companies, arranged by territOrlal'grOups in
trusts, similar In many respects to the Standard
past have given much thought to the creation
and conduct of such organizations and / am
satisfied that trusts, constituted as above OUT
lined, would enable the business Of the respec-
tive territorial groups to be regulated and con-
trolled in the best interest Of the proprietors
and without arousing any greater restrictive in
teryention on the part Of the national or state
governments than exist at present.

Red Lake Indians All Right.

The labors of the Chippewa commission in
session at the Red Lake Indian reservation
have been crowned with success. as the In
dians have after much vacillation signed the
instrument which cedes to the United States
all their reservation except comparative
ly small portion. The territory retained
by them is adjacent to Red Lake and much
more than sufficient to provide every man
with and child entitle it with an allotment
of 160 acres. At the council held Thursday
it appeared that the Indians supposed
the act under which the commits
sioners proceed to be identical
with the bill introduced in the house of rep
resentatives by Mr.. Nelson 1t was shown,
however, that the original measure had been
many times amended and in fact radically
altered before finally passing congress and
receiving the approval of the President. 1t
has also been necessary to give repeated eX-
plantations OF those parts Ofthe act which pro-
vide that the income from the m oney ccumu-
lated in the United States treasury from the
sale of the ceded lands would be divided
among the Indians occupying reservations
to be ceded. Many alleged grievances Of long
standing were brought to the attention OF
the commissioners in council especially COM
plants OF lum bering operations on the reser-
vation and Understandings between the
surveyors and the Indians as tc the line of
reservation. The late sessions were more
largely attended and it was soon dis
covered that the party in favor of ac-
eepting the terms OF the act were in
the ascendancy, although this did not do
away with the necessity of fu rther explana-
tlons and many assurances by the commits
sioners of the fulflment by the government
of its Obligations under the deed of cessiOn.
Mr.. Rice, with great patience, explained the
provisions of the law. Bishop Marty appeal
ed to the Indians on the ground that it was
plainly their duty to accept the proposals
made by the government, and Col. Whiting
warned them that they had better accede to
terms offered before their pine forests were
further destroyed by fire. When Mr..
Rice finally inquired if there wore
any more explanations needed. and
that if not the signatures would be received,
there was not dissenting voice, so that the
Indians of this reservation may be practical
ly unanimous in support of the at and the
cession under it. The chiefs then signed the
deed in order of rank, after which the Others
readily came forward until enough had signed
to insure the success OF the negotiations, the
number of signers being nearly if not quite
one hundred in excess of the number who as
sented three years ago to the arrangement
made by the Northwest commission.

Wants to Got Ont.

CHICAGO, July ia somewhat sensational
move was made in the Cronin case to-day.
John T. Beggs, the imprisoned senior guard.
ian of Camp 20, Clan-na-G Gael, filed new
petition for writ of habeas corpus, giving
as a reason why he should be set at liberty,
that he has been jailed and indicted solely in
the hope that he would thus be forced TO
turn states evidence. The testimony ex-
pected of him, he says, has no foundation in
fact Beggs, in his petition, further says
that while he was illegally imprisoned and
aecreted from his friends, Immediately pre-
ceding his Indictment, he was taken before
the states attorney, who tried to induce him
to make certain statements, the facts SO de-
sired not being within the knowledge of
Beggs, and that in the conversation,
the states attorney said in substance, "By
the newspapers your are condemned al
ready; the only way, or the best way out of
it for you is to stand with u.s." meaning
thereby to stand with the prosecution. and
further stalng In the conversation: "1f you
will accept employment from US we will pay
you forit" To which BeggS responded in
substance: %It you mean by standing with
you,' that shall give you testimony by
which any person or persons might be con-
vtcted of the murder of DR. Cronin, I cannot
accept your employment for the reason
that have no facts which would tend to
convict or even cast suspicion upon any per-
sons of causing the death of Cronin." The
petition contains a general denial of the
charges made against the prisoner. A hear
ing will be given tomorrow.
WILL BE REARGUED.
WINNIPEG, July 15.-Isaac Campbell, coun-
sci for Burke, says the prisoner will be
brought up one day this week upon a writ Of

Death OF Hon. Edmund Rice.

The death of Hon. Edmund Rice OF st.
Paul which has been mournfully anticipated
for week, occurred on July II at the sum-
mer cottage of his son-in-law, Gen. Sanborn
ut White Bear lake, Mr.. Rice's dying mo-
ments were peaceful and apparently uD'
attended with pain, for to the end he lay IN
that state of Inconsistencies which has
characterized his illness since July 3, when he
was brought from Duluth and placed under
the kindly care of friends at the Sanhorn
cottage. At no time during tie week OF his
fatal illness did he arouse from that con-
dition. He sank gradually, and Tuesday
afternoon he was attended for the last by
physician, who declared then that it would
be useless for him to SEQ his patient again.
Mr. Rice died surrounded by his children ex-
cepting William Stuart and and Philip who
are living at Tacoma Wash, Those present
at the bedside were Mrs Gen. Sanborn, Mrs.
Boardman, Mrs. William Dawson, Jr., Ed
mund Rice, Jr., and Sedgwick Rice. Mr..
RiCe's fatal disease was acute Eoftening OF
the brain This simple announcement will
fill thousands with deep and sorrOwtul
sense OF personal bereavement. Perhaps no
other citizen of st. Paul or of the state was
more widely known in the intimate personal
sense or counted more friends bound to him
by ties of personal attachment He was
public man more by the distinction of his
personal qualities than by any public
functions that he filed. In the early
days of the territory or state he held
no conspicuous Office But he was no
less in the truest sense one of the founders OF
the city and of the commonwealth. His
courtly grace and dignity of manner; his
royal-heartsd, open handed generosity and
kindness, his largeness of soul more than
any remarkable mental endowments, made
him n distinguished presence and distin>
gushed man in every circle of which he
formed a part, and he was q dis
tingushed man in the early days
long before he had earned any other
title to distinction. Beyond serving one
term as a member of the house in the second
territorial legislature and a few terms in the
senate or house in the state legislature he
was never in public life till a comparatively
recent period. He was conspicuousy asso'
ciated with the foundation and evelopment
of the railroad system of the state, and he
helped to plant the seedlings OF the gigan'
tic system which now weaves its
web of intercommunicati0n all over the
state. But without being ambitious of Off
cial honors, and rather disposed to shun
them, he was forced by the popular favorin-
to official positions for which he did not care
His personal popularity far transcribed the
limits of the political party with which he
was connected. His local popularity in St
Paul and i'll its vicinity was unbOunded.
