holders Held Yesterday.
A BIG BRIDGE OPENED.
The Canadian Pacific Sets the Pace
on Rates.
The Court Denies the Application of
the Receivers of the Union Pacific
for $500 Per Month Each-De-
cember Coupons Have Not Been
Paid.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-The meeting Of the
German bondholders of the Oregon
railway & Navigation company, of
which it is claimed the largest number
Oh shares are held in Germany, con-
vened this morning.
IL was called on account of the nom
payment Of the December coupons. ac-
corolng to the report received in Ber-
lin. Of the Union Pacific railroad.
Inc meeting was convened by the
Deutsche bank. There is considerable
feeling among the German bondhoId-
ers, who claim that their interests are
seriously threatened by the attitude of
the receivers. Seimens of the Deuts-
che bank, and DIR. Barth read a long
report on the situation which said the
fact that the December coupons would
not be paid was nothing to brighten
the bondholders. Although they might
be in very disagreeable position. IL
was only temporarily.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company. the report continued, is COM
mercially in happy position, as it was
the Union Pacific's only outlet to the
"cAO o0uC0 lllctL lud CudI-
acter of the country forbids a parallel
line and that the traffic of the COM
pany can never be taken away from
it. The report then explains in detail
the exact holdings of the Union
Pacific in the Oregon Railway & Nav
igation, and shows the financial con-
dition OF the latter, together with its
earnings since 1887.
Continuing, the report says the de-
crease of the present year is partly in
consequence of the crisis from which
the whole Of America, especially the
west, is suffering, but which is now
passing away.
The report also says it may be con-
idently expected that the Union
Pacific. even in the hands Of a re-
ceiver, will make a proposal by which
the control of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation is secured to it under con-
ditions acceptable to the latter.
1t was added it may be possible in
the interests of the Union Pacific TO
make the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton an independent company and in q
position to make arrangements with
the Northern and Central Pacific,
whichever is most advisable.
The meeting approved the report and
elected a. committee composed OF the
following bankers: Siemens, Heloft,
Altman, Pappenstaedt and Ahormez
Oswald, to represent their interests
with full power to act The bonds
are deposited in the Deutsche bank.

against Harrison proved disappointment
to both parties. 1t seems to have split
between the two candidates and not to
have proven the decisive factor it was in
the election last November, when it went
so heavily for Cleveland and Altgeld as to
virtually settle the electoral vote OF the
state.
By O'Clock, an hour after the polls
closed, crowds began to congregate in
front of the newspaper offices to await the
returns. At the corner of Fifth avenue
and Washington streets, the Times build
ing, where HARRISON paper is published,
was great sheet of canvas upon which
the returns were thrown by stereopti-
cion A half block to the south similar
canvas bore the returns of the Record and
half block to the east the Herald gave
it's news out.
The two latter papers had been strongly
anti Harrison during the campaign, and
the crowds which packed the streets in
! front of their buildings partook strongly
of their sentiments. There were many
alterations between partisans, and many
bloody nose before the evening was
over. The first returns began strongly in
favor OF Harrison, and his followers sim
ply went wild. They jumped, yelled.
threw hats in air, blew tin horns and
hired brass bands. The throng in the
street became so dense that several lines
| of street cars were compelled to stop run
ming until the police could force an OPEN
| ing for them. 1t was not as big an cleo
ton as that of last November; it meant
as much to Chicago aud Chicago was out
/ tonight to see how it went.
