TERMINAL REORGANIzATION.
Messrs. DrexeI, Morgan & Co. VIII uuder-
take the Task.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The announcement
made this morning that Drexel, Morgan *
Co. had decided to again take up the re-
organization OF the Richmond Terminal sys-
tenn was received with general satisfaction
in Wall street, where the great bulk OF the
securities OF various companies comprising
the system are held or reported. Although
the banking-hou has not definitely COM
mted itself to undertake the reorganization,
its willingness TO resume its examination or
the offices OF the system from the time that
the negotiations were broken of last sum
rner was universally regarded as evidence
Of the intention of Mr.. Morgan and his as
sociates to take hold OF the work OF recr-
ganizatOn. The prevalence OF this view
resulted In better market on the Stock
Exchange for all Richmond Terminal Sc
curlties, particularly for the bonds Of the
company.
meeting Of the Georgia Central reorgani-
zaton committee was held this afternoon,
and after IL adjourned Mr.. ii. Il. Hollins.
the chairman, as well as other members OF
the committee, expressed themselves as much
gratifed at the turn which Richmond Ter
mlnal affairs had taken. Mr.. Hollins said:
The Terminal Company having surrendered
last year the lease which 1t held OF the Gem
tral Company road, its interest In that com
pany Is limited 10 its holdings OF the stock.
Upon this and any Other points where the
mutual interests Of the properties may re-
auire attention. the committee express sat
isfaction at having responsible parties to
deal with when not connected with any
past differences"
The Richmond and Danville underlying
bondholders committee notifies the holders
Of Georgia Pacific seconds, Oxford and
Clarksvile frsts Clarksyille and North Car
olina frsts and Danvile and Western frsts
that the limitation OF time reserve to the
companies In the several mortgages secur-
ing these bonds In which to pay the interest
thereon and thereby save the maturing OF
the principal has expired, and IL Is now in
the power Of the committee 10 press these
claims against the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company more effectively than
heretofore, and IL is it's purpose 10 do so.

STOPPED THE QUESTIONS.
Judge Stowe Says the Pinkertons Had
Right To be at Homestead.

PITTSBURG. PA. Feb. S.-During the
cross-examination of Captain Hooper, OF
the Plnkerton service. in the trial Of Jack
Claggford, Judge Stowe stopped the attor-
neys for the defense, who were seeking
TO show that the Pinkertons were tres
passers at Homestead. The Judge said:
Il won't allow such questions. These
men were going to Homestead on law
full errand, and had a right To go. These
rioters had no business there. Even II
the Pinkertons had been going there TO
take that mill by force, they were Justl-
fed in doing So and no one had right
to dispute II in this court, and you may
as well understand that just now. Such
ideas as you attempt to advance never
have been the law, are not the law, and
| hope never will be the law. 1t is an
archistic 10 advance such sentiments. and
| will allow no one to advance such ideas
here"
Mr.. Bremen, who had asked the OBJ
iectionable question, tried several times
to reply to the judge, but was silenced.

Make No More Nominations.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-President Har-
rison will make no more nominations of
Consuls for the United States. There are
at present but four vacancies in what are
known as principal Offices that is Offices
which correspond directly with the State
Department-Apia, Cork. San Salvador
and Nogales. At present there are on
the rolls 400 principal offices, an increase
OF forty during the present admlnistra-
tiOn and about eleven minor vce-consuls
and the like II Is not TO be inferred
that because of the distinction between
principal and minor offices that the latter
are not desirable berths. for in many in
stances the revenue derived therefrom Is
greater than the salary attached TO the
principal offices. The retention in Office
of incumbents once established is much
more certain in the consular service than
probably in any other branch of the Gov
ernment. The Register Of the Depart
ment OF State. which is a very popular
document just now. shows that quite a
number of consuls at present in office
were appointed by President Cleveland
and have served through President Har-
risonis term without being disturbed
while a number of others have been in
office even longer. The Nestor of the
consular service is Horatio J. Sprague
who was appointed consul at Gibraltar
from Massachusetts on the 18th OF May
ls4S. and has remained continuously at
that post until the present time.
