THE GREAT NORTHERN.


An Ohicial Announcement Of Its Plans
Expected In IA Few Days.
ssT. PAUL, Feb. 3.-The official an
nouncement is expected Saturday or
Monday that the Great Northern Railway
company has absorbed the properties of
the st. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba
company. 1t is expected meeting of
the stockholders of the new company
will be held at the Manitoba general
offices in st. Paul during the day, at
at which general officers will be elected
and the general plan of consolidation
given TO tile public. Nothing has as yet
been officially announced, but those af-
fected by the change have been indulg-
ing in great deal of speculation. Ac-
cording to this speculation the new COM
pany will be modelled after the Pennsyl-
vania company, which is generally
conceded to be the most perfectly organ
lied railway corporation extant. 1t
is thought that all the corporations
in which the Manitoba is in any way
interested, excepting, possibly, the
Northern Steamship company, will be
known as the Great Northern lines, the
Eastern Minnesota and Montana Central
at the same time maintaining a distinct
organization. This will be because OF
the peculiar nature of the business OF
these two roads. The Manitoba proper
the Willmar and Sioux Falls and the Du.
luth, Watertown and Pacific will, 1t Is
said, be consolidated and known as the
Great Northern Railway company
There will be one set Of executive officers
for the entire system, with j.. Ss Hill al
the head as president. So far as the
general management is concerned, opin
ion is somewhat divided. Some are o1
the opinion that there will be one gen
eral manager, but for the same reasor
for three distinct organizations there will
in all probability be three such officers
| as there now are.

the Mcaucst Tyrant That
Ever Presided.

WASHINGTON, Feb. L. Expectation

battle, caused the galleries of the house
to be filed. When Speaker Reed raped
the house to order at noon the gallery
reserved for men was packed, while
large number of ladie., Was in the CALLER
les. Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
Sounded the Preliminary War Cry
of the Democrats. The clerk, in reading
the journal, omitted the names of those
not voting on the question of considera-
ton. This brought Mr.. Breckenride to
his feet, shouting for recognition. He
demanded that the names of those not
voting should be recorded in accordance
with the custom. The speaker assented
to the request and the correction was
made. When the reading was COM
pleted several members were on their
feet. The speaker recognized Mr.. Nc
Kinley, who moved that the journal be
approved, and demanded the previous
question. Mr.. Blanchard, of Louisiana,
calling at the top of his voice, SO as to be

The speaker refused to recognize him,
and put the question on the approval Of
the Journal amid shouts of disapproval
from the Democrats. Mr.. Springer, of
Illinois, one of the Democratic leaders,
managed to make himself heard before
the speaker made his decision on the
vote. He said that he had moved that
the house adjourn, before Mr.. McKin-
ley's motion was put. and the speaker

fishers of his prospective volume have
insisted that his tale go forth to the pub

he said, by finding in the market lot of
securities which the bank had been hold

banks and hypothecating their securities
there is generally some scheme at the

ton has disclosed this scheme was con.
