NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, April s.
William a. Welch, who has for several
years past held the position of foreman
on Fl. c. Howard'S farm near La Sale,
is missing, and there seems but
little doubt that he was carried
over the falls. On the evening of
March 81 heiwas seen by his stepson to go
out into the river opposite to Mr.. How
ards residence to set night line. A
search along the river began yesterday
An oar bearing the name of the missing
man was picked up below the falls, and
a short time afterward portion of the
boat, which proved TO be part of the
side of the boat belonging to Howard,
was caught. which makes it almost GER
tain that Welch was carried over the
precipice. Welch was about forty years

OREGON IMPROVEMENT
Reasons Set Forth by the
Directors.
RECEIVER SIMON HAS APPEARED
Views of Officials on the Situa-
tion-Construction VIII Not
Be Impeded.

New YoRK, Nov. 26.-Tho Oregon I'm
provement Company to-day issued an
official statement saying 1t would de-
fault on the interest on its first NOR tgsge
bonds, due December 1, and be unable
to comply with the sinking fund pro-
visions. The floating debt amounts to
~, ,OOO, 900 in demand loans, with new
consolidated bonds as security.
Directors of the Oregon Improvement
Company, in q circular issued to the
stockholders showing why tho company
is in an embarrassed condition, says the
Seattle fire depression following
the real estate excitement In the
West and consequent falling off of the
earnings of the Southern California
route; decrease in the coal business, on
account of fires in the mines and labor
troubles, and the loss of the coal con-
tract with the Oregon Railway q Navi-
CATION Company, arc among the causes.
There is now a floating debt of 81, 900,
900. Short time and the demand loans
and tightening of the money market
made 1t impossible to raise the money to
pay this and found IL impossible to pro-
vide for the interest, the sinking fund
and payment on first mortgage bonds.
In order TO prevent attachments ON the
property in Oregon II was thought best
TO temporarily place the property LII the
hands of a receiver.

WILL BE PREFEKRED CLAIMS.
The Attachments Against she Com
pany win lie Recognized.

SEATTLE. Nov. 26.-Colonel j. G.
Haines, general counsel for the Oregon
Improvement Company, arrived home
tonight,
docs the appointment of receiver
bar attachments which have been
madep' was asked.
"No; but those will be preferred
claims. The court will make an order
in regard to the policy OF the claims,
and these attachments will have the
first right. The attached properly will
not be sold"
"Will the receivership cause cessa-
ton OF construction on the new rail
roads?'
"Well, the object of having a receiver
is to manage the property for the benefit
OF the creditors; TO save the property
from being scattered and sold at forced
sale, and to secure the assets for the
creditors. Ifit is necessary, in order to
save certain property, or increase its
earning power and to extend it, the
court may order II to be done. For in
stance, in order to secure subsidy,
which is worth more than IL would cost
to build the road for which it Is given.
For these reasons, think 1t probable
that the court would order the compile
ton of the Seattle d Northern ilway
TO Anacortes. and of the Port Townsend
Southern to Qui!cene."

BosroY. Nov 26.--Foliowing is the ad.
Pacific, in resigning:
"Gcntlemen; In June. 1894, I wa.
chosen bv your unanimous vote as pres
ident of the company, and this action
on your part has subsequently, through
SIX successive years, been approved by
an equally unanimous 1voto of the
stockholders. The Htiairs of the Union
Pacific are in some respects more diff =
cult OF management than those possibly
of any other corporation in the country,
especially this has been the case in re-
cent years. Consequently, knowing /
represented only u body of stockholders
and could not look for support to any
la.ge concentration OF capital, have al
ways realized 1t would be futile for me
to attempt manage tho company's $
affairs with reasonable hope of success

terests of no one. Personally, am
willing to occupy position OF dimin-

From the political point of view
alone, with congress about to BILE,
II Is ABOVE all essential, with proper re-
gard for the peculiar position occupied
by the Union Pacific, that whoever repre-
sents IL should he understood to repre-
sent clearly, unequivocally, its whole
ownership and thus speak with author
ity as to its policy. This l no longer
do. Accordingly, l feel assured that
political and most probably, financial
disaster also should hardly fail to result
from n mutual lack of confidence exist
ing at this time between the nominal
but irresponsible head of the company
and any considerable and influential in
terest among the stockholders, whether
such a reciprocal distrust is on the score
OF ability or character. or methods or
motives. Under these circumstances,
after a careful survey of the whole
ground, | am forced TO the conclusion
that can no longer hold my present
position and administer the affairs of the

self or without danger to the interests
intrusted to me. | desire accordingly,
to offer my resignation, both us presi-

which would be sufficient to make the

IRISH DLI.EGAT ES,
Gill and O'Brien Give Their Views on
the OuestIon.

New York, Nov. 26.-T. II. Gill, one
OF the Irish delegates, said this evening
that to.day's London meeting was post
poned without action to allow the de-
layed delegates here an opportunity of
consulting together. They will proba-
bly, meet Friday at Cincinnati and inter
change views. GiIps warm friends in
the Irish cause warn him to beware of
any hasty conclusions. He declares III
disbelief in the alleged anger OF Irish
members at Parnelps alleged refusal to
summon the second meeting and is
equally incredulous as to the statement
credited to Irish mem bers that the party
would follow Parnell, even If home rule
was delayed fifteen years. A grave
crisis was undoubtedly caused by Glad
stones letter, but Irish members may
be relied on to act with patriotism.
Parnell and the Irish party VIII decide
the question presented them by Glad
stone letter apart from any personal
consideration whatever and wholly on
considerations for the best interests of
the cause, W which is the best sacred con-
Germ of their lives.
As to the probable decision of the
party, Gill would give no opinion. He
added that when Parnel's mouth was
unsealed, the judgment which has bee n
formed now would DO presented in a
different light.
Gin feels confident that the next few
days will allow all parties to consider
the situation coolly and enable n cordial
understanding between English and
Irish home rulers in manner crafty
ing to the grand old man aud honora BILE
to Irish people and Parnell.

PORTLAND, Nov. 26-C. IA. Prescott,
Pacific, in an interview to-day, said;
"Rumors are circulated that the North.
ern Pacific railroad ana Elevator Co.

wheat l desire emphatically to deny
that any such combination has existed
or does exist, and also desire to say
the present grain situation is greatly re-
gretted by this company, and the failure
to move the present large crop more
rapidly is source of great loss to the
company. We are using every exertion
possible, by addition of cars aud power
To relieve the situation. We expect a
large addition to our power by the 1st
of December"
Another prominent railroad official
said: Every possible effort is being
made by both the Northern and Union
Pacific to furnish transportation facili-
ties for business for this section. The
Northern Pacific is now running two
trains daily each way between here and
the East. One of these through trains
each way will be taken oil December l,
which will give this company forty moro
locomotives for freight business. This
will be grand addition TO the motive
power of the freight department of the
company, and enable them to handle q
much larger amount of traffic.
The Union Pacific has received thirty
OF the 1876 new locomotives contracted
for to be delivered not later than Oc-
tober 1, and is now receiving tho re-
maindsr at the rate OF one per day.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 26. - Railroad
men here are speculating upon what
effect the passage vt the Union Pacific
into Jay Gould's hands will have upon
the personal management in this sec.
ton. 1t Is generally believed that Vice
President and General Manager Hol-
comb will go. He was ex-President
Adams right hand man, and Adams
resignation leaves but littlo hope for
him. Whether Mcneil will be retained
as general manager and Campbell as
general freight agent in this city is not
known. Many think there will be a
clean sweep. Neither cares to say any
thing as to his prospects. McNeirs
work has been greatly hampered since
he took charge three months ago. His
demand for more cars to relieve the sit
uation have met with no response from

IL have not seen enough Of the affairs

of the property ut Portland, and next
go to San Francisco to do the same.
do not know whether u receivership
will bear out the attach ments
on the property. That depends on
when the attachment suits were offered
