The Northern Pacific Goes Into Receivers

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Tbomas F.
Oakes OF New York, W. III. Payne of
Milwaukee and Henry Grouse, presi-
dent of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
company, were this afternoon APP

The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern companies have decided to
restore freight and passenger rates to
the basis prevailing last February, to
go into effect as soon as practicable
Other transcontinental lines are ex-
pected to follow the example of the
two companieS mentioned in this

The appointment of receivers did
not come as a surprise to Wall street
Although not announced until after
3 o'clock, brokers were prepared for
the news, as rumors of such step

COUNTING NOSES.
Meeting of the Anti-silver Executive Conn.,
mittee-Bland's Views.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE execu-
tive committee of the eanti-silver forces
in the house appointed at the confer
ence Tuesday night held a meeting
last niPht for consultation. The poll
OF the house had been practicalIy COM
pleted by canvassers in the interest of
the anti-silver faction, which is said
by one of the leaders to show n ma
jority OF 81 in favor of the uncon-
ditionalrepealo of thepurchasingclause
as provided in the Wilson bill.
Harter estimates that il the house
successfully passes what he calls the
danger point of a vote on free coinage
at ratio of 20 to L, the majority for
the Wilson bill, which will present the
naked question of repeal or no repeal,
will be 100 more. On the other hand
Bland says there are representatives
who may vote against the coinage OF
silver at any specific ratio who will
not vote to wholly abolish silver as a
money metal, which would be the
effect, he says, OF passing the Wilson
bill. "If there are any representatives
from silver districts who would thus
vote" said Bland, ''they had better
make terms with the administration
for they cannot retain a hold on Their
people"
Harter's doubt as to the result of a
vote on the proposition to coin silver
at a ratio of 20 to l is said to be due
to information conveyed to the anti
silver executive committee that there
are upwards of forty Republicans who
will vote for establishing coinage at
that ratio. Bland, however. believes
the ratio of 16 to l will be stronger in
the house than any other. Despite
the reported forty Republican votes
for 20 to 1, the repeal Democrats
readily concede that they must have
Republican votes to succeed and have
asked Republicans to come to thelI
aid in the discussion now progressing

though technical success rests with
Great Britain on legal points, on prac-
tical grounds the victory is to the
United States, as the arbitration was
entered upon to preserve the seals and
the decision achieves that result.
In an interview given this evening
Justice Harlan expressed the opinion,
in agreement with John w. Foster,
that the regulations specified by the
tribunal would check pelagic sealing
and thus go far towards accomplish
ing one OF the chief aims of the United
States. The general result of the arbi-
tration, he thought, was far in adj
vance of anything that the United
States had demanded. The members
of the tribunal reserved the right to
prepare and file Individual opinions
i'll the case at any time before next
January 1st. Justice Harlan will
proceed at once to Switzerland to
prepare there his opinion. He will
sail with his family for America prob
ably Sept. 27. Senator Morgan will
leave Paris on Thursday and will sail
on the steamer New York from South
ampton on Saturday.

and Charles III. Tupper. British agent,

men connected with the tribunal are
exceedingly reticent and apparently
are disappointed because it was not
more unfavorable to the United States.

W. C. p. BREcKIHRIDGE SUED.
The Kentucky Congressman focused Of
Breach of Promise.

In the supreme court OF the District
of Columbia suit was filed on the 18th
inst. for $50, 900 for breach of prom
ise against Representative William c.
p Breckenridge, of Kentucky, By Mad
cline V. Pollard. The plaintiff charges
that in April 1884, when she was sew
enteen years old and a student at
Wesleyan Female Seminary in Cincin-
natl, she met Mr.. Breckenridge on the
train travelling from school to Frank
fort, KY. where she had been called
on account of the illness OF her sister.
Breckenridge made her acquaintance
on the plea OF knowing her family,
ard she was flattered by mis- atten-
tions, knowing who he was and regard
ing him as prominent man.
On August 3, 1884, he came to see
her at the seminary and got permis-
sion of the president for her to dine
with him, and by wiies and artifices
and protestations of affection subse-
quently took advantage of her youth
and inexperience. The birth of two
children, who died, and the premature
birth Of another child, are alleged as
a result of this intimacy. From time
to time, the plaintiff alleges, the date
for the marriage was postponed until
on July Is Mr.. Breckenridge married
another woman, Mrs. Louisa Wing. OF
Louisville.
The plaintiff in the case was for a
time an employe in one of the depart.
ments at Washington, but shortly
after the death of General Sherman,
was dismissed, it was said, for making
a derogatory remark respecting the

GOLD BECOMES A DRUG.
Banks Have Now Surplus Stock of the
Metal in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-The gold cure
has done it's work in Chicago, and the
metal is at present drug on the mar
ket. Sought for, fought for, eagerly
boarded in June and July, gold is now
refused by the same people who could
not get enough of the yellow metal
then. Gold has entered the arteries
of trade to such an extent during the
last two weeks that n change has been
demanded, and surplus gold will go
out of town in exchange for eastern
bank notes. When gold was scarce
every one wanted it; now that it is
plenty no one cares for it. Many con-
slider the offer of gold an indignity,
and demand bank notes, and even sill.
yer certificates in its stead.
One word tells the story: "Pro-
duce." Chicago had the produce,
Europe had the gold. Chicago wanted
gold; Europe wanted produce. New
York has been doing the trading for
the west, but these bankers expert
mented little on their own account
and the result is the flow of gold
around New York to Chicago. This
stream has been SO steady that now
Chicago is healthier, financially, thar
any other city in the country Th,
"details OF this scheme are not given tc
the public. There is something said
concerning the buying of New Yorl
exchange; with that purchasingca cables
and then having gold shipped direct
but the trump card is withheld from
public view. In view of the present
gold flood in Chicago a story told al
the Metropolitan National yesterday
might be of interest:
A well-to-do farmer in a western
state-a silverite by the way-ca lleC
on his zeal bank for loan of 500
The banker said he was not lending
money at the time. The farmer OF
iered any kind of security, hut could
not get the 500. The banker toll
him his note was good enough, but h
was not lending money to any one ol
any kind of security. Failing to ge
what he wanted the silverite put hi
hand in his pocket and pulled out tel
SO gold pieces. He said
"You see have S1OO here in gold

HIS GREAT PLAN.
James J. Hill May Consolidate His Road
With the Northern Pacihc.

New YORK, Aug. ia st, Paul dis
patch to a morning paper '.ffirms
that a movement is on foot to start
a new company with James J. Hill at
the head for the purpose of consoli-
dating the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railroad systems, which in
clude practically the whole north
west. 1t is rumored this consolida-
ton will be urged on the ground of
economy and President Hill and Pres
ident Oakes are at present going over
the details to prepare some plan of
operation to be submitted to the
stockholders. 1t is said here that
when the plan is perfected it will show
that by close management great econ
omies can be inaueurated if the man
agement of the Northern Pacific will
help the property out of at least some
of its embarrassment.
