A BIG RAILROAD DEAL
The Great Northern Absorbs

Nelson Bennett Declines to Affirm
or Deny the State
ment.

TACOMA, Wash, March H.-Negotia-
tions have been opened l. oking TO the
purchase of the Fuirhaven * Southern
road from Nelson Bennett by the Great
Northern, through Mcssrs. Gilman
Burke and others. Bennett will not
admit this fact, neither will he deny 1t,
but says the Fairhayen Is southern
road will soon be built to Seattle, by
whom he will not say,
II may be accepted rs n fact, however,
that the Great Northern, through It's
manipulators, who hayc charge of it,
west coast division, has absorbed the
FairhaYcn * Southern and Will run Its
trains TO fairhayon as its extreme west
coast terminal. The Northern Pacific
people are strong in the belief that the
ralrhayen a southern road Is part and
parcel of the Great Northern system. A
railrosd man pretty well posted, and
whose prognostication IN two important
instances came out correct, said to-day
81 here can be but little doubt that the
Great Northern people have got the
Fairhavcn * Southern. | got II from
good authority to-day that a
scheme had been contaminated by
which Bennett had agreed to take a
block of Great Northern stock for his
road, and that ho will be associated
ultimately In the direction of its affairs.

will stop at FRirhavcn. | think IL will

Conduct of Chicago's Disap-
pointed Rivals.
The WORLDS FAIR COMMITTEE.
A Meeting in Which Harmony Did
Not Prevail, Owing to
Jealousy. -

WsHISo1os, March 15.-For tho first
time since tho house decided the ques-
tlon Of the site, the full committee on
the worlds fair met to-day and received
the report OF the subcommittee In the
shape of bill providing for fair, with
amendments made to suit the wishes Of
the Chicago people.
The proceedings were not entirely har-
monous, and before tho conclusion OF
the session II became evident that the
New York representatives were disposed
to differ with the subcommittee In
respect to the financial scheme and
other important details.
As soon as the first section Of the bill
had been read pre- ding that the fair
DO inauguratod In 1892 in Chicago Mr.
Hatch moved To strike out the word "in-
augurated' and insert the word "held;"
rejected
Another divergence OF opinion was
manifested when the fifth section was
reached. This section empowers tho
national commission 10 accept the site
aud plans of the buildings rendered by
tho municipal corporation, after they
are satisfied that said corporation has
an actual, bona fide and valid subscrip--
list OF at least 100000 Of which not
less than sos, 600 shall bo paid in, and "A
further sum OF s500O00O, making In all
$40, 900, 900, to be provided by said cor
poratlon In ample time for its neediul
use during the prosecution of the work
for the complete preparation for said
exposition. o
Mr. Bclden offered resolution to the
effect that y was inexpcdient to adopt
the bill on tho subject oil the worlds lair
until Chicago had furnished site and
million. dollars security. This resolu-
tion was debated on at some length, and
was mod iiicd SO as to read as follows:
when q guarantee fund of $40, Coz, 600
Is secured, the suificiency and legality
OF which Is satisfactory, the committee
will report the pending bill, with such
amendments us the committee may
agree upon.h
The debate upon this proposition was
continued until the committee became
weary and IL then Immediately ad-
iourned until Monday.
The chairnian and Messrs. Pitt, Bow
den ana Springer expressed the opinion
that Chicago had already given suiii.
cicnt guarantee, but the New York and
81. Louis people insisted upon having
the matter more accurately defined.
During the discussion the chairman
read paper signed by Lyman Gage,
chairman Of the finance committee, In
which ho stated that subscriptions had
been made TO the Illinois corporation 10
the amount ofS5, 00O000 and more, and
he assured the committee that the addi-
tional 81, 0OO,O 600 would be forthcoming
for the purposes of the fair in ample
time, as was duly provided for In the
bill.
The bill reported by the subcommittee
II similar In many respects to the bill
originally reported TO the house.

news of the presidents proclamation or

Nyceyilo and other settlements
in the outlet comes the news Of burning
prairies. IL seems TO have been gener-
ally agreed upon that the first thing for
the settlers to do was to start prairie
fires and much Of the strip has been
burned over. These prairie fires served
double purpose. They drove most OF
the cattle before them and also des-
troyed the fodder which those remain
ing might have fed upon. Therefore the
cattlenson are depressed over the gloomy
prospects.

PACIFIC RAILROADS
An Address by Charles
Francis Adams.
HIS OPINION OF THE FRYE BILL
It Has Some Advantages, but
Places Too Heavy Burdens
on the Roads.

wAsHfseroS, March 17.--Charles
Francis Adams appeared before tho
house committee on Pacific railroads
this morning, and submitted the printed
reports of the agreement previously
made by him.
He then discussed the Frye bill. That
bill, he said, placed the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific on very different re-
lations to the government. As n matter
OF principle, the Union Pacific could
make no objections TO that course.
The Central Pacific never had and never
could have any OF tho To-
cal trade which the Union
Pacific possessed. The question was
whether the burden should be proper
tionate TO the strength Of the compu-
mics. lie always had maintained that
in its dealings with the Pacific railroads
the government so far as It's contract
was concerned, had divested itself Of its
sovereignty, and dealt with them as
bank ker or an individual would do, The
government was justified in saying that
the Union Pacific, In view of its situa.
tion, should bear q heavier burden than
the Central Pacific could bear with.
out being crushed. He did not OBJ
ject to the general proyisos Of the
rye OIL, nDI tuht y
cifc should be plsced on equal terms
with the Central Pacific, neither was he
here to say that thc terms imposed on
the Central Pacific were loo lenient. On
the contrary, he was Obliged 20 say that
the proyisio of the bill imposed as
heavy load as the Central Pacific could
bear. He did not think that the Union
Pacific would be willing to take the
property of the Central Pacific with a
heavier load than the Frye bill imposed
on II. The Frye bill was good and fair
bill in many respects, but there were a
few m Material points which he would like
TO see modified.
lie was forced to tho conclusion that
the burden which the Frye bill imposed
upon the Union Pacific was too severe
and heavy 1t was not in the interest
Of the people that the Union Pacific
should cease from being dividend. pay
ing stock and become speculative stock,
cease to be investment stock and become
Wall street stock. IL was not In the
interests of the government or Of the
Union Pacific that the company should
be launched on a long voyage OF hfty
years weighted down to the water line,
SO that those who navigaiod the craft
would have to spend half their time
trying to save themselves from every
wave that swept over the deck. The
Frye bill loaded the company down to
the water line, and beyond what he CON
sidered limit Of safety.
Mr.. Adams said that tho Frye bill was
IN the interest Of the states through
which the Union Pacific passed, al
though the people Of those states didn't
see it. They had an idea that anything
which helped railroad injured them.
This was an erroneous idea. The COM
pany in its desire to get liberty was
forced 10 the very limit ofsaicty and at
times he had hesitated whether Il was
worth the camPany's while 10 accept
the provisions or the bill.
