Such is tho Basis of the Northe rn Pacific

ST. PAUL. June N.-Quite a sensational
story appeared in an evening paper last
night, In which it was said great amount
of bad feeling had sprung up between the
employees of the Northern Pacific and the
management, which was likely to cause
trouble and stop the general good will
which had hitherto existed between them.
General Manager Nellen was seen last
night at his residence and he made the fol-
lowing statements in regard to the matter:
I'm the first place." said he. '.let me say
that the whole article is an unqualified
falsehood. do not believe that this article
has come from any employe of the road. It
Is, doubtless, the work of outsiders. There
never was time when the relations be-
tween the men and their employers have
been more friendly. But there are many
who would like the Offices that the
work. AS to the mismanagement of the
sanitarium. that goes with the rest. DIR.
Courtney, who has charge at Brainerd, has
the full confidence of the men, and if q
vote were to be taken to-day for head of
the staff of doctors he would be unani-
employees should have 80 per cent of the
board of directors. The bylaws show that
they are to have only majority, and that
the general manager is to be president of
this board. Therefore they are allowed by
Secretary KNOTS circular all that belongs to
them. There has yet been no meeting of
the employees, SO they could not have elected
Mr.. Cooley. As stated before, if there is
any underhand work it is being done not
by the employees, nor by the management,
but by such persons as would like some OF
the Offices which the institution offers.
Each man pays for the support of the sani-
month; some paying more, some less, ac-
cording to their salary. This is deducted
from their monthly pay. The buildings
and equipment were wholly given by the
Northern Pacific Railroad company.

RESTRICTIONS ON CATTLE

Imposed ON Sanitary Grounds Only-Not
Because of the Tariff
LONDON, June 20.-In the commons to-
night Vincent, conservative member for
Sheffield, asked whether the government
would require the United States to modify
the prohibitive duties ON British products
before it would make any notifications
in rules governing the importation of
American cattle. Under Secretary Fergu-
son said the restrictions on cattle were
based solely on sanitary conditions. Vim
cent thereupon gave notice of motion de-
claring that the house will consider whether
a free market ought longer to be
given to competitive products of for
eign state which puts a prohibitory
tariff on British goods. Smith, government
leader, announced that instead of moving
a resolution continuing the bills from
session to session, he had adopted Glad
stones suggestion that a select committee
be appointed to inquire by what means the
passage of bills considered at one session
could be facilitated at the next.

Distinguished Persons injured by Wreck
ON the Baltimore & Ohio.
BALTIMORE, June 2O.-The New York ex-
press was wrecked this morning at Childs
station on the Baltimore l. Ohio. Bishop
Keane, of the Catholic University at WASH
ington, Harry E. Kelly, son of Congressman
Kelly, of Arkansas, are among the seriously
injured. Two sleepers we're thrown down
an embankment. Charles Aokennein, chief
engineer of the Staten Island Rapid Transit
road, and fireman were killed. Bishop
Keane was cut 4Dout the head and his body
badly bruis I'd. Ralph Ingalls,, son of Sem
ator Ingalls,. was among the slightly injured.
Another account of the Baltimore 4 Ohio
accident says: Charles G. Kannett, of New
York, and John McNamara, of Philadel-
phia, were among the persons killed, and a
dozen were hurt, but none seriously. The
wreck was caused by the breaking Of the
main rod on the freman's side. It crashed
through the cab, killing him instantly. The
engineer jumped down and crouched be-
hind the fire box. Immediately after the
rod on his side gave way and tore that side
of the cab to pieces and the engine then
left the rails, carrying the cars with it.

UNDERMINING THE CATHEDRAL.
Tho New Underground Railway and Its
Effect ON st. Paul's.

Tho New Underground Railway and Its
Efect ON st. Paul's.
LONDON, June 2O.-Great fears are
entertained for the safety of st. Pauls ca
thedral, in consequence of the new UNDER
ground railway to be constructed within a
few hundred yards of the building. Sir
Christopher Wren, the architect of the ca
thedral, left memorandum to the effect
that the foundations were not as good as
he could wish. Consequently it is feared
that the vibration caused by the trains will
endanger the dome, even if the preliminary
works did not imperil the entire fabric, The
promoters Of the line say that the under
ground railway near Westminster Abbey is
not felt in the building. As a matter of
fact, however. the trains shake the building
considerably, but as the foundations are ex-
ceedingly good no damage is done. Differ
ent conditions exist at st. Paul's. Water
courses render the ground uncertain, and
as the cathedral stands higher than the sur
rounding localities some shifting of the soil
in digging out Tor the railway is inevitable.
The dean and chapter are in great state of
alarm and will endeavor to induce the house
Of lords to throw out the bill authorizing
the line.
Before the royal commission of inquiry
into the question of providing additional
space for the interment of distinguished
men in Westminster Abbey some curious
facts are coming out. The space beneath
the Abbey in many parts is filled up with
concrete of very ancient date, sometimes
rendering it necessary to hollow out room
for the coffin. The remains of an unknown
person were found when the opening was
made for Browning's grave. Upwards of
fourteen hundred bodies are known to have
been buried in the Abbey itself and many
more in the cloisters.

NOT A SURPRISE.

Bank Men Had Expected the Collapse of

CHICAGO, June 20.-By order of the comp
troller of the currency, National Bank Ex-
aminer Sturges this morning took possess
sion of the Park National bank. It created
no surprise in financial circles, as President
Packard is not trained financial man, and
it is learned its loans were of a poor char
acter. The bank was capitalized at $780,
900. Its statement on May II showed loans
and discounts of $780, due depositors
and banks, $62S, 900; surplus fund, $2l. 900;
undivided profits, $l8.4 400. President Pack
ard insists that the bank is solvent and
will be reopened soon. The government

New YoRK, June N.-Powderly this after
noon sent Gompers letter in which he
agreed to meet Gompers in Cooper Union
tonight. Powderly added that Gompers
was in error in his letter of yesterday in
saying the Knights had been preparing for
this meeting for several weeks. He POW

evening of taking up tho subject of the
charges against the Knights emanatinR
from the headquarters of the federation.
He said he would talk on other matters but
in Difference to Gompers' wishes will first
discuss the subject at issue and allow
Gompers the same time to reply and then
take up other matters. He denied en-
phatically that his invitation to Golnpers
was in the nature of challenge. Com
pers issued a written reply to the effect that
he believed Powderly never expected his
challenge" to be accepted, or Il accepted
the idea was to entrap him (Gompers) into
packed meeting. He accused Powderly

He added that he was ready at the meeting

dompers was not present at the meeting
Of the Knights of Labor tonight. Cooper
Union was crowded and many people, una
BILE to gain admittance, attended an over
flow meeting outside the hall. In the hall.
y invited Warner to take the platform.
Warner said that as this was regular
meeting of the executive board for a spe-
citic purpose it would not be proper to
adopt 3ompers' suggestion to give
him half the time if meeting for the
purpose had not been contemplated in the
cal. AT this point about 200 mon rose
as If BY prearrangement and left the hall.
fowderly thereupon said: "All who desire
to leave will please do 80 now as there are
hundreds outside who cannot get in." This
was received with great cheers. Powderly
then spoke on the insinuations made against
the management of the knights, and rea d
documents showing they were first to suggest
the eight hour principle. In the future they
would continue the eight hour movement
to help those who are willing to help them
selves. He went into an analysis of the
statement of membership of the federation
and asserted that the large apparent men,
b.rship was made up by claiming knights
OF LABOR as members of the federation,
The first trouble between the organizations
occurred when the Knights succeeded in
having the wages of the cigar makers in
creased. The man who headed the shoe
makers union was little better than luna
tic and the Knights had to expel him. This
man was now ready to oppose the best in
terests of labor. All working men should
stand together, and he (Powderly) was
ready to resign in favor of Gompers If the
working men of the country would unite
under him. The Knights of Labor have
borne Misrepresentation in silence long
enough: Hereafter they will strike back
when attacked.

Warren Leland Makes Sensational
Charges Against the Chicago
Council.
Persistent Efforts to Steal the
Lake Front Park, Now in
Dispute.
Enhanced In Value by Reason OF the
Fact that It Is Wanted for the
Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, June O.-A sensational charge
is attributed to Warren Leland. proprietor
of the Leland hotel, in an interview pub
l;shed in an evening paper. The ownership
of Lake Front park, one Thousand feet
wide and nearly a mile long, between Mich
igan avenue and the lake shore, has long
been in dispute. The riparian right is the
bone of contention, and claim is laid to it
by the state of Illinois, the city of Chicago
and the Illinois Central railroad company.
Leland, as owner of property abutting on
this park, has been fighting all encroach-
ments thereon and has declared his inten-
tion to fight the location of the Worlds
fair. In an interview to-day Leland is
quoted as saying that year ago bribe of
one million dollars was offered to cease his
warfare in behalf of the preservation of
Lake Front park. ''And yet." he added,
there are those who believe I am fighting
phantom and who ridicule the idea Of
there being big steal on foot Why, there
has been steal on foot beside which the
operations of the Tweed gang would pale
into insignifcance. If the steal were of
such gigantic proportions q year ago, before
thousand feet more into the lake was made,
of what size do you think it is now? Who
is back of the steal? Is it the Illinois Gen.
tral railroad or the city council? I
don't know. Perhaps it is one, perhaps
the other, perhaps both. A stretch of inn
agination may enable one to believe it is
neither, but as such steal could not be
accomplished without the consent of the
city council, and as the Illinois Central
road is commercially more greatly interest
ed in the disposition Of the property than
any one else, the belief that neither is in
terested must be of short life.
Leland is quoted in detail as to his efforts
to maintain Lake Front Park free from
buildings, including the present exposition
building, and the opposition he
has met from successive city
governments for nine years past,
intimating that there were monetary
influences back of their opposition. Leland
refused to give the name of the man who
came to him. He said it was a we'll known
citizen, who came as the representative of
other parties, and said, LELAND, if you
will simply bother yourself no more about
the Lake Front park, but remain passive to
what is done, can let you in on the deal 80
you will get amillion dollars.'' The matter
bids fair to create q tremaudQus sensatiou
