THAT BIG RAILWAY DEAL.
The Northern Pacific Believed to Have
Secured the Charter.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2l.-A special dispatch from
Ottawa, Ont, says: There has been considera-
BILE talk about the reported big rail-
way deal out of which the owners
OF the Northwest Central railway
charter are said to have made
&c, ,000, 900 sterling from the sale of their in
terest to an English company. There is said to
be excellent authority here for the statement
that the Northern Pacific is at the bottom
OF the deal; that it is, in fact,
the real purchaser and the English company
referred to has only been used ALL along as a
blind. If it be true that the Northern
Pacific has secured this charter it
viii get control of one OF the finest and richest
regions Of the whole Canadian northwest. as
the Northwest Central follows the line adopted
by Mr.. Kensie when premier for the Canadian
Pacific road.

ROOSEVELT FOR THE SENATE.
He May Be Elected to Represent North
Dakota.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2I.-A Tribune special from
Bismarck, North Dakota, says that Civil Service
Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt is interested
in the politics of the Missouri slope, and that
his friends say that he is the man for the
United States Senate. Mr.. Roosevelt is popu-
lar in that section, is a large taxpayer and as
he resides there good portion of the year has
right to claim a residence in Dakota. His
ranch manager, A. w. Merrifeld has been
nominated by the democrats for the lower
house in the Stark county district, and owing
to split in the republican party of that dis.
trict may be elected. II so, he no doubt could
work up respectable following for his en-
ployer. 1t is thought at Bismarck that Roose-
welt will be found really formidable candidate.

No doubt is felt here by persons who have
been following the pension Office matters that
there is no possibility of Gen. Merrill being
appointed commissioner of pensions. The
idea is that he has not been close -mouthed
enough, and that by appearing too often
in interviews he has lost every chance
of appointment Many of Gen. Warmers friends
believe that the fact of his having left Deer
Park today with the matter of his acceptance still
open is significant of weakening on his part
under the arguments Of the President, and they
will not be surprised to learn of his acceptance
Though before leaving Washington he was pos
tive in his assertion to them that he would not
accept, it was thought possible then by many
that his regard for"the wishes Of the President
would get the better of him. 1t may have been
that there was just the least bit of uncertainty in
his own mind. 1t is understood that the mat
ter is still unsettled.
THE CONFERENCES AT DEER PARK
No decision has been reached after a long
talk between the President, Secretary Noble
and General Warner last night and this morn
ing. After the conference this morning the
general started for Kansas City, and, after
consulting with his business associates, he
viii send his final answer from there.
Before leaving Washington yesterday he told
the thing was finally settled. as he expected it
to be at Deer Park, he would telegraph them
No word has been received from him, and the
conclusion is that he does not feel that the mat
ter is finally settled.
There will be no especial haste in making
the appointment, as Tanner is to be allowed
his full thirty days leave. and the President
insists upon Gen Warmers taking all the time
he wants to consider the matter before he will
accept his declination as final.
IF GEN. WARNER HcLDs FIRM
to his declination it is likely that either ex-
Commander Fairchild, ex-Commander Rea
or Frederick Knefer, the ex-pension
agent at Indianapolis, will be Sc
lected. Little doubt is felt that
the last-named would be appointed but for the
fear OF criticism on account of the appoint
ment going to Indiana.
Secretary Noble returned from Deer Park at
1:55 this afternoon. He said Mai Warner had
gone west He refused to say what conclusion
had been reached about the pension commits

From Wall Street Today.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2.-The dullness in the
stock market continued unrelieved this MORN

the usually active stocks, showed any special
