New YoRK, Aug 13.-The World this
morning prints this: The finance COM
mittee of the Northern Pacific road was
to have acted to-day ON the SIS, 900
collateral trust loan plan, and they were
generally thought to be favorably in
elined towards i. Henry Willard yes
to all the directors a detailed financial
plan by which he proposed that the
company shall issue u grand Consolida-
ted mortgage of $l6,OO0,0O0 for the pur-
pose of retiring the whole of the out
standing bonds of the company. The
grand total of n orthern Pacific preferred
bonded indebtedness is sl20, ,oOO,O 900. The
excess OF $4OOO0OOo in the proposed
new issue would presumably be used In
paying premiums to holders of the pres
ent bonds, so that they would surrender
them for the new issue, which would
bear u lower rate of interest.

Turner, Convey, Moore and Griflitts
held the opposite view; that the revision
committee was for the very purpose Of
pointing out incongruities, and that oil
needful corrections ought to be made at
any time before final adoption.
Miner said committee simply felt u to
be their duty TO bring these two sections
forward side by side, and let the con-
vention decide what shall be done.
Turner said that the action might have
been intelligent on the vote to have the
majority of all members endorse BILL
but convention certainly had not the
question of congruity with another
article in its mind at the time. The
recommendation of the committee was
refused-ayes 33, noes 81.

BONDING COUNTIES.
Efforts Being Made to Allow Certain
Counties to Issue Bonds

Speaking of another trouble it is said
that there is the same thing in the wind
again relative to allowing counties in
building. This matter was supposed to
be dead and buried, but the committee
on schedule which has not as yet pre-
scnted its report, is said to have been
laboring with some sort of scheme to
present a section allowing the counties
of Columbia, Laclick, Walla Walla, Yak
ina and possibly Garfield to bond for
railroads. What the schedule committee
has to do with subsidies for counties is Il
mystery. II would be a good deal like
taking the legislature on all appropria.
tion bill In congress, and would raise
about as big howl.
