The custom, which is only observed al rare intervals of peraubulating ths boundaries of the city ol Oxford, Eng. land, was followed this year. and was of more than usual importance owing to the fact that the boundaries had been largely extended since the last occasion. when a tour was made six years ago. The mayor aud other members Of the corporation in their robes left inc city buildings at 8 o'clock in the moruiug, preceded by band and the city mace bearers
 During tae day many amusing incl. leu.s took place, some of which might have proved dangerous, At Wolyercote there was a dispute about the boundary, aud clergyman who opposed thc city forces was somewhat roughly handled.

WILLARD IN DANGER.
Here Is a Pretty Scheme to Cap
ture a Railroad.
The Man Who Made the Northern
Pacific to Be Shaken the Easiest
Way Possible.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK, March 24-The Herald says:
1t Is said that Willard has aban dOned his
scheme to sell the ST. Paul and Northern
Pacific stock in the treasury OF the North
ern Pacific Railroad in order to pay off the
fl ating debt OF the latter company. 1t is
reported Willard has been asked to name
the price for the balance of the Northern
Pacific stock held by the North American,
presumably for the purpose Of securing his
retirement in the easiest possible way.
Henry C!ews, chairman of the special
committee IF stockholders of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, said this afternoon: The
stockholders have made proposition to the
management for taking up the floating debt
of $4,000 900. 1t is 10 issue Sl2,0 COO col
lateral trust notes running five years aud
bearing interest at per cent, thus the COM
pany could pay off the floating debt and
have balance in addition. The syndicate
stands ready ta take the whole lot of pates.
In consideration of furnishing the money 1t
desires representation in the board of d.
reetOrS, which would necessitate the retire
ment of some of the present members. The
st. Paul and Northern Pacific stock in the
company's treasury, which the management
proposed to sell, and the securities now
behind the floating debt could be used as
cOldteIdI lOT noes. Inc SI raul ana
Northern Pacific earned last year 81 per
cent on its stock and it does not seem sound
fuaueering to sell so good an asset as thai"
The Wall-street Journal SAYS: Its stated,
but not officially, that tile North American
is negotiating the sale of its holdings of
Northern Pacific common to a syndicate,
which is seeking to control the Northern
Pacific. Upon investigation we find the
numerous reports that the Lake Superior
iron-ore producing interests have formed
pool for the maintenance of prices through
restriction of the output are untrue
The strength of Northern Pacific pre-
ferred rather puzzles some of the Wall
street people, who, in default of a more
cogent theory, attribute it to buying by the
opponents of Willard, who believe his reSig-
nation as chairman OF the board Imminent.
Negotiations are said 10 be on foot looking
to the sale of some important assets of the
North American. 1t is knCwn the COM
pany has some street-railway bonds for
sale, which. if sold, would be big plum.

How He Has Kept Father Cleghorn

Is There an Effort AfIoat to Prejudice
Commissioner Blount in Favor of
the Princess?
Special to THE MoRNINe CALL

New YORK. March PA morning paper
claims to have unearthed something new in
the Hawaiian affair, and this is the story ::
A supposed dispatch from the Princess
KaIulani's guardian Davies to Father
Cleghorn has been discovered in the Breyoort
House. The message, If genuine, is fraught
with importance. 1t reads:
ITO Clsghorn, British Consulate. Homo
lulu-Suggest VIC to Blount. Talk Yankee
greed and sugar DAWES"
On Wednesday evening while William NJ.
Awl of Pittsburg was writing in one of the
general rooms of the hotel he observed a
telegraph form sticking between the desk
and the wall and on examination il proved
to be the dispatch above quoted. An ink
blot had fallen across the words british
Consulate" which may have been the
reason why the form was discarded. lie
showed the message to the hotel clerks, but
declined TO let it 90 out of his possession.
The clerks were inclined to treat the mat
ter as jest, although they were forced to
admit that the handwriting bore a striking
resemblance to that Of Mr.. Davies.
The hotel telegraph operator declined to
say whether she had dispatched any such
message, but gentleman acquainted with
Davies and Hawaiian affairs was shown a
copy OF the message. and said:
The term Vic in the message IS IN
doubtedy meant for Victoria that being
the Princess Kaiulani's first name. The
Cleghorn addressed is probably Archibald
Cleghorn. KsulanI's father. Reading be-
tween the lines, l should say that Davies
suggests to Cleghorn to see Commissioner
Blount when he arrives in Hawaii and suE-
gesttO him tie expediency Of re-establishing
the monarchy, with Kaiulani on the throne.
He also eOuusels him 10 accuse the Americans
of interested motives in asking for annexa-
ton and to dwell upon the sugar industry
Of the Islands as the probable cause of
the resolutions"
Awl to-day forwarded the dispatch with
an explanatory note 10 Secretary Gresham.
WASHINGTON, March "a 24.-Captain WiltSe,
who mas just returned from Honolulu,
where he commanded the United States
steamer Boston al the time of the overthrow
of he Hawaiian monarchy, reported at the
Navy Department this afternoon. He had
a short interview with Secretary Herbert
and arranged for a more extended confer
ence next week in regard to the participa-
tion Of American sailors in the event. He
edcIined TO be interviewed.
MANCHESTER, n. H, March 24-Rear-
Admiral BelkEap, discussing the Hawaiian
question, expressed himself warmly in favor
of the United States assuming a protector
ate over the islands. "Of course people
who have not been there might talk against
IT," said he, but the interests at The islands
are SO plainly American that the United
States cannot afford TO throw the plans
aside. If this country does not assume a
protcctorate Great Britain will quickly do
so
