AN ALASKAN ROAD.
Possibility of a Rail Connection
With Siberia.

L EOSSlUllity VI al nail connection
With Siberia.
CINCINNATI, June 1S.-Hon. Charles
Francis Adams. of Boston, ex-president
of the Union Pacific railroad, has writ
ten letter to E. II. Wells. the Alaskan
explorer, concerning the latter's pub
lished scheme for building a railway to
Alaska. Mr.. Adams says: "When
was last III the Dominion, and also in
Alaska, it seemed to me not impossible
that the time might come when a rail
road would be needed and would be re-
nun erative from Winnipeg, north
wardly into the mining country of
Alaska; but was equally persuaded of
the fact that this time had not come;
neither do l believe it will come within
the next ten or fifteen years." This
significant letter Will attract attention
from railway managers all over the
country. 1t is construed as a conserva-
tive admission from Mr.. Adams that the
Alaskan railway may actually be built
within the next twenty years. thus
forming link of the chain that is to
connect the czar's Siberian railways
with America.

Deposed Ministers.


PITTsBURG, June 1S.-Last night the
rich and strong congregation of the AL
legheny Reformed Presby terian church.
Rev. j. K. j. Milligan, pastor frecently
deposed bp the synod, met and unani-
mously withdrew from the Reformed
Presbyterian church, and will seek adj
mission to the United Presbyterian
church. Among the ministers present
were Rev. j. S. T. Milligan, the Cove
nanter belligerent from Kansas; Rev.
j. j. Huston, from Belle Center, O.; j.
l.. Teaz, of Selma, Ala, the Southern
negro missionary of the Reformed Pres
byterian church, and others of that de-
nomination. All of these indorsed the
action of the Allegheny church. and the
more than inference is that they will
also go from the Reformed Presbyterian
church to the United Presbyterian
church.

WILL LEAVE THE ST. LOUIS.
w. III. Truesdale Has Already Re-
signed the ReceiyershiD,


w. H. TruesdaIe will resign the re-
ceivership of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis road. MIR. TrueSdale is not in
Minneapolis to officially confirm the
statement, but his associates say that he
will resign, or has already resigned. 1t
supreme head of the st. Louis since
Judge A. II. Young left the bench, has
already received Mr.. Truesdale's resig-
nation. A. E. Clarke, solicitor for the
road, says the resignation will probably
take effect sometime in July. Nomeet-
ing of the bondholders to select sue
cessor has been appointed as yet. OF
curse the court must make the formal
appointment. Last winter it was
rumored that Mr.. Truesdae would re-
gn and that Judge Young would sue
ceed him. That may ,.appen now.
Mr.. Truesdale will be missed by the
railroad which he has managed SO long.
His connection with the Minneapolis Il
st. Louis dates from January, 1888,
when he was appointed an assistant to
the president, r. r. Gable. In the
same year the stockholders elected him
vice-president. In 1885 he accepted the
position rendered him of president of
the road. In July, 1883, the insolvency
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad
was announced. By common impulse
all the creditors turned to him as the
one to manage their affairs, and petit
toned the court that he be appointed
receiver, which was done. He has man.
aged the road with skill and to the
satisfaction of all. None Of the diverse
interests have made any complaints re-
garding his management or policy. Mr..
rruesdale Will probably accept a posi-
ton with some Eastern road. He is
known as capable railroad man, and
has had repeated offers of good posi-
tionS. He leaves the ST. Louis because
the future Of the road is so uncertain.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. An unfounded
rumor Is in circulation that Secretary
Fosters Illness has taken dangerous
turn, and that DIR. j. b. Hamilton,
formerly Surgeon General Of the Marine
Hospital Service, had been sent for
from Chicago to take charge Of the case.
DR.. Hamil ton is in charge of the case,
but he was not sent for from Chicago.
He CHANGED to be in the city when the
Secretary returned from New York and
became i'll, and, as he had previously
attended the Secretary, he was summon
ed
This was nearly two weeks ago. He
considers Tie Secretary out of danger,
but insists that he be kept perfectly
quiet, as he is still weak and relapse
might come from over exertiou. He
thinks that the Secretary may be able to
drive out in few days if the weather
continues fine, and if the patient keeps
on improving the doctor may let him
start South by the latter part Of next
week. 1t is stated that Secretary Fos-
ter will not be able to return to duty at
the Treasury for several weeks.
