The n. z. & T. Trouble Reviewed BY Well
Informed Railroad Men.

Informed Railroad Men.
NEW, YORK, Feb. Is jay Gould
was in court again yesterday. The Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railway peo-
pie obtained an order last Saturday for
MIR. Gould, til Missouri Pacific Rail-
way company and Nero antile Trust
company to come into the supreme
court chambers and show cause why
their stock should not be turned over
to the officers, as receivers of the Nj =,
K. and L. R. r, Co., so that they may
vote it. A suit to recover this property
is now pending in the supreme court,
but it Is a long way from trial. E.
Ellery Andels son appeared for the
plaintiffs and ex-Judge Dillon for the
defendants. The story of the fight is
given by an eminent railroad authority
as follows: The Missouri Pacific
people began action against Mr.. Gould
last spring and succeeded in getting
hold of a majority of the stock and
busting the Gould clique from power.
This road owns all the stock of the
International an Great Northern
Railroad company. which it operates
and which was also part of the Mis-
souri, Pacific system. This stock was
held by the company'S officers in trust
but just before the election Jay Gould
had it transferred to his own name
and deposited it with the Mercantile
Trust company as collateral security
for $500. 900. AS soon as the new men
came into power they threatned to take
criminal proceedings against Mr..
Gould for the conversion of the stock.
and then that gentlemen made declar-
alton of trust in which he set forth
that he held the stock as a trustee and
not as an individual. Since that time
his clique still controls the Inter
| national Great Northern. He, it is
charged, has diverted the traffic of this
road away from its natural connecting
line, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
to which it belongs, and has sent il
over the st. Louis Iron Mountain and
Northern. which is still part of the
Missouri Pacific system. 1.-THE annual
stockholders election for officers of the
International and Great Northern will
be held April and the stock trans
fer book closes March 2. and as the
stock is all in the name of jay Gould
| the proper stockholders cannot vote il
and Jay Gould can continue his party
in power and go on with his scheme Of
\ injuriDg the Missouri, Kansas anC
| Texas road -

CHICAGO, Feb. l9.-The convention
Of the American Tariff Reform asso-

street theatre at 2 p. m. There was
not a full attendance only 200 Of the

session was simply to make prelimina-

in the evening.
Secretary White read a letter from
President Cleveland in which the presi-
dent reaffirmS his views on the subject
in question as flows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHING
TON. Feb. IA, 1885. TO John z. White,
Esq. Secretary-Dear Sir:-I have re-
ceived the invitation OF the Tariff Re-
form League to be present at the con-
vention of the tariff reformers to be
held in the city of Chicago on the 18th.
10Th and 2lst of February. 1889. ! have
also read the circular of the leagne ac-
campaigning this invitation in which
the objects and purposes of the pro-
posed convention are specifically set
forth. The scheme of practical and eff
f1eient work therein described meets
with my hearty approval and promises,
il honestly adhered to, the most valu-
able aid to the furtherance of
cause which is very near to
the interests, of our people. The dan
ger which We have to guard against is
the misleading of our cnuntrymen by
speciOus theories, cunningly contrived
and falsely Offering to people relief from
the burdens and the legitimate lex
penseS necessary to secure) benefits OF
beneficient rule under the sanction of
free institutions. The declared pur-
pose of your league will not be attained
| until all those interested in the ecOnO-
mic question, which is now pressed
upon their attention are freed from all
sOphistries and clouding fallacies and
until the subject Of tariff reform is
presented to him as a topic involving
of the land in their homes from
useless and unjust expenses.
The question is simple and
plain one, and needs but be fairly pre-
sented to be understood. 1t is the pos
tive duty of your organization to guard
the people against deception. My eX-
| IRENE interest in the work which your
league has undertaken, and in the ex-
pressed objects of the proposed con-
vention, would lead me to accept your
| invitation If it were possible to do so.
but my public duties here positively
prevent such acceptance. Hoping that
the convention will be successful, and
with an earnest wish for the prosper.
ity and success of your league in its
efforts to enlIghten and benefit the
people, am yours very truly.
