Front street, where they ran a short
distance before being captured. For

trail Lease Expected To-Day.
New YORK, March 26.-The officers
of the Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany yesterday refused to confirm the
reports from Philadelphia that the
traffic lease of the Wisconsin Central
was practically settled, and would be
approved by the Northern Pacific di-
rectors tomorrow. The lease has been
under consideration for a long time,
and the reIoti0nS now existing between
the two corporations are very close.
Wall street has expected for some time
that these relations would finally be
cemented by formal contract to cover
long period of years, but the methods of
the Northern Pacific directors in conSid-
ering the joint arrangement with the
Union Pacific respecting the Oregon
Railway & Navigation have created
feeling of Skepticism as to the date at
which any decided action will be taken.
At the last regular meeting of the
Northern Pacific directors the cOnSid
Grafton of the lease was referred to
committee. To-day the executive COM
mittee will take up the subject, and to
morrow their report will be submitted
to the full board. President Cakes, of
the Northern Pacific, yesterday said
that he could say nothing about the
lease until after the directors had acted
upon 1t. The general features Of the
proposed agreement as published were
admitted to be correct. Ceairman Har-
ris. of the executive committee, also
declined to anticipate the action of the
directors, and the venerable secretary,

Garrett party is visiting in Thomas

to the fact that the Garrett party was

wealth of the CARROTS, had determined
to capture Mr.. Garrett and party at the
earliest opportunity after their arrival
in Mexico, and hold them for ransom.
