The Arbitration Contract.

New YORK, Feb. 2l.-The Northern
Pacific board of directors regular meeting
to-day approved what is called the ''arbi-
tration contract" which is an agreement
between the Union Pacific and Northern
Pacific company to place control of all
competitive lines in Eastern Washington
Territory and Oregon in the hands of five
managers TO be appointed by parties to
the agreement. This will secure all the
advantages to both companies that would
have resulted from a Joint lease of the
Oregon Navigation, and at the same time
avert the responsibilities of guaranteeing
dividends on that stock.
The only condition connected with the
contract is the control of the Oregon
Navigation, and this will probably be OBJ
tanned through the sale of the Oregon
Navigation stock now held by the Oregon
Transcontinental company to the syndi-
cate. As the Oregon Transcontinental
owns a majority of the Oregon Naviga
ton stock, andas four out of six members
of the Oregon Navigation the executive
committee represents the Northern Pacific
and the other two the Union Pacific, and
as they are all in favor of this contract no
difficulty is expected. A meeting of the
Oregon Transcontinental company will be
held next week to consider means to
carry out this plan.

In Blizzard Land.

North Dakota, according to the tempera-
ture maps, is the coolest part of the United
States. This Is accounted for by the fact
that there are no mountains @ break the
force of the storms originating in tho arctic
regions. From Manitoba they come rushing
and bowling into our territory with great
force, packing the sand like snow so firmly
that now formed drifts four or five feet high
viii bear the weight of horses.
During one of these billiards it Is impos-
sible to DO comfortable out Of doors, even
when the mercury does not fall below zero.
Tho snow packs into the clothing so that no
shaking will dislodgo it, and the sharp par
ticles cut like glass or steel. 1t is impossible
to face such n storm, and persons and horses
naturally turn their faces from tho blast, and
doing so, even in the slightest degree, causes
them to lose their way on the plains.
Tho snow looks exactly like granulated
sugar.; VIC never sec it fall In large, feathery
fakes, as it does in other parts of the country.
When 1t SHOWS it invariably blows, and every
building, large or small, has its circle Of
drifts.
Occasionally for two or three DAYS Mt a
time the north wind will take the snow flying
past, and apparently not n grain of it touches
tho ground. Straight south it will go in such
masses that you cannot sec an object a few
rods from you; then in a few days the south
win will hurl another mass back to the
north Philadelphia Times.

ORGANIZED.
Meeting of Railroad Presidents
in Chicago.
The Agreement Signed and the
Association Now a Fact.
Name of the Roads Directing
to Join.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2l.-The proposition
to perfect organization of the Interstate
Commerce Railway Association with the
lines that have signed the presidents
agreement, instead of laboring further
with the companies refusing to sign, was
carried to-day and the association is now
a fact The Wisconsin Central, for some
unknown reason, changed front and
signed to dav. The Burlington & North
ern gave its final answer to the effect that
it could not become a member unless its
northern and principal competitors of sea-
port trathc were also taken in. The com
mittee on changes in agreement made no
alterations except to strike out the pro-
vision in regard to the number of sigma
lures necessary, and recommended that
the agreement be adopted as it stood.
An animated discussion followed, in
which President Adams of the Union Pa
cific sharply criticised the Chicago, Mil
waukee q st. Paul, which was holding
back and also the Burlington Il Northern.
He introduced a resolution that the
movement be then and there abandoned
as it had been found impossible to carry
it to a success owing to distractions
placed in the way by the two roads named.
This caused a sensation and President
Miller of the st. Paul sharply retorted.
After further discussion Mr.. Adams with
drew his resolution and a~pologized to Nil
Ter.
At the afternoon session the objections
were finally brought into line and the
agreement signed with the understanding
that it becomes effective Immediately.
The four roads now in the agreement are
the Illinois Central. the Chi ago, Burling
ton & Northern, the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis and the Missouri, Kan
sas x Texas. The details of the agree
ment were not completed this evening. A
committee was appointed to confer with
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Walker and ascertain if he will accept the
craftsmanship.

New YORK, Feb. 2l.-The stock
market was somewhat more active to-day.
but the improvement in the amount of
business done was had at the expense of
values, being weak and declining through
out most of the day. The first prices
were from to ! per cent lower than last
evenings figures. Burlington, Rock
Island, st. Paul, jersey Central and New
England became prominent for the losses
sustained, and the lowest prices were
generally reached toward 2 p. M, after
which there WAS a pronounced rally,
which reached almost everything, and
under the lead of Burlington a fair pro

some Startling Changes.

The LEADER has it on the best au.
thority hat these important changes will
soon be made by the Union Pacific
management.
Patsy Googan, who has for years been
assistant foreman of ash pit No. 10 is ito
be promoted to the SUPPLEMENTARY of
coal chute No. %. This change will go
into effect at high noon March 4.
Anna Maria Therse Gilhooley, torelady
of the grub pile for the Cheyenne &
Northern construction train since last
August has accepted a similar position on
the Northern Pacific.
A. Daniel German, wheeler OF smoke
at the Sherman round house. has been
requested to resign. 1t Is rumored that
he will at once receive a call as sandwich
reloader Tor the Pacific Hotel company.
George Washington Brown, porter for
private ear .0l9, has been offered the
Liberia ambassadorship. and it is feared
that he will accept.
The change which will create more of a
sensation than all others combined is the
proposed transfer of the cashier of the
Iron Mountain sand banks to the Hot
Box department at Sidney.
THE LEADER only asks that the people
will remember these predictions when the
changes are made.

New YORK, Feb. 2I.-George Smith,
aged 60 years, was instantly killed this
morning by an explosion of dynamite.
Smith was foreman of a gang of laborers
engaged in digging Out cellars at Seventy
sixth street and Boulevard. The man
entered the tool box and almost immedi-
ately a terrific explosion took place, and
Smith was literally blown to atoms. In
the tool box had been stored $50 pounds
of dynamite and III some ~unaccountable
way Smiths entry into the box caused
the stuff to explode. The windows Of
houses for a quarter of a mile were shat
tered by the conclusion.

coed 10 committee of the whole to con.
slder the Cowles bill, shall report it to the
house at 4 p. w., and a vote on its pass

lngs. The resolution was referred to the
committee on rules.
Alter several unsuccessful attempts to
get particular measures considered the
hous went into committee of the whole
On the post Office appropriation bill.
After the discussion Of minor amend
ments consideration of the bill was con-
cluded and the committee rose.
Cannon of Illinois moved to recommit
the bill with Instructions to the post office
committee to report back with the ~classif-
cation features eliminated, The post office
bill then passed.
Fornay presented the conference report
of the legislative, executive aud judicial
appropriation bill, and it was agreed to.
The house went into committee of the
whole IN the deficiency appropriation bill.
On motion of Scott of Pennsylvania an
amendment was adopted appropriating
Sc, 900 to nay Daniel Lamont, the presi.
dents private secretary, the difference
between his present salary and the s., 0U0
a year salary which his successor will re.
ceive.
COnger of Iowa moved to increase from
S79,0 600 to Sl2S. 900 the appropriation fol
furnishing public buildings.
In speaking to this amendment Hatch
of Missouri said the parsimonious treat.
ment which the committee on appropria
tons accorded to the public buildings o.
the country was disgraceful. Randall de-
Tended the appropriations committee and
said it had struck against every thing that
looked like an undue expenditure Of
public money, Hatch manfred whether
the Democratic secretary of the treasury
was not as competent to Judge of ap,
preparations which should be made ior
furniture as were the members of the
committee on appropriations Randall
replied hat the committee had examined
into the contracts and the estimates fol-
the new department could be cut down
one-half without inconvenience to the
public service. 1t has been shown that
there had been gross extravaganza in the
expenditures for furniture.
After further debate the amendment
was rejected and without completing the
bill the committee rose and the house ad
iourned.
