Would NOT CONFIRM
The Sale of the Oregon Pacific
Set Aside.
JUDGE FuLLERToNs DECISION
Irregularities in the Proceedings
Alleged by those Most.
Interested.
Associated Press.

Corvallis. Or, Dec. 25.-Special trains
this morning brought about 400 of the
Oregon Pacific's creditors to town to
witness the court proceedings relative
to the confirmation Of the sale of the
road. They divided on the question of
the appointment of a successor 70 Res
ceiver Hadley. The matter comes UP
in court this afternoon. The failure of
the proof of publication of the notice cf
sale in the New York papers to arrive
here until yesterday renders the con-
firmation of the sale impossible fOr 1--WE
days, should the court be so inclined.
The attorneys for the purchasers stat
cd in court that the refusal to confirm
the sale would end the matter 50 far as
the people they represented were con-
cerned,
Judge Fullerton this afternoon set
aside the sale of the property made on
the 18th inst. Objections to the confr-
nation were made by various creditors
On the grounds Of inadequacy Of the
price, and irregularity Of procedure. In
rendering his decision which meets
with general approval, Judge Fullerton
said that those most interested In the
confirmation or rejection of the sale
were labor and supply creditors, and
that they seemed to. oppose the confir-
nation. Also that there appeared tc
have been some Irregularities In the
proceedings. In the morning will be
heard the argument for the removal of
Receiver Hadley and the appointment
OF his successor, a petition for which
has been circulated among the enl-
ployes. The latter propose that until
such time as a sale of the property may
be effected, to operate the road, guaran-
teeing not to entail additional expense
upon the receivership.

A BATTLE PROMISED.
The Nictheroy Said to be Waiting for
the Rebel Ships.

Pernambuco, Dec. 26,--The Brazilian
dynamite cruiser Nictheroy, which put
to sea yesterday for the purpose. 1t is
said, of engaging in battle with the
rebel war ships Republica and Aquid-
aban, returned Aere this morning, re-
porting that she had been unable to
find the rebel ships. 1t is now said
the Nlctheroy will await the coming Of
the rebel ships here, and will fight
them in these waters. News from Rio
de Janeiro brings little that is fresh.
Both sides claim their opponents are
driven to the last extremity, and must
soon give in The government party
declares that foreign governments are
supporting Mello, but that as soon as
the United States gets a strong naval
force here that will be stopped, because
the United States must compel strict
observance of the Monroe doctrine, and
that If this is done, the collapse of the
rebellion is only matter of short
time

PREPARED TO QUIT WORK.

Milwaukee, Dec. 26.-The prospect is
that $500 men employed by the Nor,
thern Pacific will quit work January /
when the reduced schedule of wages
goes into effect. When the receivers
found it impossible to arrive at an
agreement with the employees, they tel
egraphed tonight to all agents and at
torneys along the line of road to have
injunctions served. The injunction IL
said to be the first order of the kind
issued in the United States. A some
what similar injunction was issued dur
ing the Big Four labor troubles, but
not until the strike was in progress. 1t
appears from the Northern Pacific in.
junction that the receivers ordered a
reduction in all salaries exceeding s12O0
This was cheerfully accepted A week
later the receivers ordered further
reduction of five per cent on all wages
of $50 to $75, and ten per cent on SIS to
500 per month. 1t is this reduction
which the employees refuse to accept.
The petitioners say the employees can
not carry on a strike without pecuniary
assistance of the different national or.
ganizations to which they belong. They
therefore pray that these organizations,
through their chief officers, such as r.
M. Arthur, e. C. Clark, E. P. Sargent
D. G.. Ramsey, S. E. Wilkinson, ard
others. be enjoined from ordering and
sanctioning the strike. The court
