RAILWAY MATTERS.
EFFORT TO RETIRE WILLARD FROM
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Asked to Name the Price for the Bal
ance OF the Stock Held by the
North American.
snecial 10 the RrcoRp-UNIox.

special 10 Tue 1bECOkD-ONlOSs
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 Northern Pacific Railroad in order to
pay off the floating 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 Clews, Chairman of the Special
Committee OF Stockholders of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, said this afternoon: /:
The stockholders have made a PROPOSE
ton to the management for taking up the
floating debt of $4,000, 900. 1t is to issue
SD, 900, 900 collateral trust notes, running
five years and bearing interest at per
cent. Thus the company could pay Off
the floating debt and have a balance in ad-
dition. The syndicate stands ready to
take the whole lot of notes. In consider
alton Of furnishing the money it desires
representation upon the Board of Di-
rectors, which would necessitate the re-
tirement 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 collateral for notes. The
st. Paul and Northern Pacific last year
earned 81 per cent. on its stock, and it
does not seem sound financiering to sell
so good an asset as that"
The WdLJ-Street Journal says: 1t is
stated, but not officially, that the 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 investiga-
ton we find the numerous reports that
the Lake Superior iron ore producing in
terests have formed pool for the main
tenance 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
resignation as Chairman of the board i'm
minent. Negotiations are said to be on
foot looking to the sale of some import
ant assets of the North American. 1t is
known the company has some street rail-
way bonds for sale which if sold would
be big plum for the company.
THE UNION PACIFIC.
NEW York, March 24.-The Wall
street Journaps Boston special says:
There has not been any meeting of the
the Union Pacific directors for the pur-
pose of filling the vacancy caused by the
resignation of President Clark. The
matter, however, is receiving attention
and informal conferences have been held.
It is not believed any names so far pub
lished are correct. Comptroller Mink
could unquestionably have the position
did he desire il.

FOREIGN MINISTER'S.

In several Instances They May be
Raised to the Title OF Embassad dors.
WAsHINGToN, March 24.-The State
Department has received official inforna-
ton that Queen Victoria has raised the
rank Of Sir Julian Pauncefote, her repre-
sentative in Washington, from that of
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary to that of ambassador,
and his credentials as such are on the
way. Under the provisions of the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill of
March l, 1893, President Cleveland is
authorized to confer the same rank upon
our representative at London. Sir Julian
Pauncefote will be the first Minister to
Washington to hold the title of Embsssa-
dor, but it is highly probable that France,
Germany, Russia and Austria will be
prompt to follow the example thus set
by England, and change the titles oftheir
Ministers to ambassadors, thus necessi-
tating by international courtesy CORE
spending change on our part.

SCRAMBLE FOR PLACES.
Cleveland Mobiles His Rule Regarding
Reappointments.


Reappointments.
WASHINGTON, March a. - The ex-
olfice-holders are almost delirious with
Joy over Cleveland's modification of the
rule concerning the reappointment to Of
ice. 1t is believed that the President
viii appoint ''exes" where it suits his
pleasure and apply the rule where candi-
dates are obnoxious. One result of the
announcement that the "exes'' would
stand some chance is that the Senators
and Representatives are besieged by a
greater number of candidates than ever.
When it was announced that "exes''
were not in it, they retired reluctantly
from the field, aud others who had not
held Office came to the front by the score.
Now, however, the ''exes" are again
fighting bravely in the front ranks, and
between them all the Congressman's life
is made miserable.
Stephen NJ. White is the only Demo-
cratic Senator from the whole Pacific
Coast region, and his influence is sought
not only by Californians, but by candi-
dates in far away Idaho, Montana, Wash
ington, Oregon, Utah, Arizona and Ne
vada. His correspondence is probably
more voluminous than that of any other

FIGHT OVER REoRGAN1zAT1oN.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Indications
at present do not point to a protracted
fight in the Senate over the reorganiza-
ton of the elective officers. 1t appears
not to be the consuming desire to enter
into any protraeted debate that will pro-
long the present extra session beyond the
time when the President will have noti-
lied the Senate that he has no further COM
munications to make, and certain we'll
known Senators have said thev intended
to leave the city regardless of the fact
whether there was a reorganization or
not. The Republicans say they will in
sist upon strict following of precedents.
and If they have the strength to stand up
for that resolution, it looks as if they
would be able to force the Democrats to
hold off until the commencement of the
regular session.

Great Opportunity.
LAWRENCE (Mass.), March %. - An
elaborate banquet was given last night by
c. J. Hunt of Methuen. 1t proved most
costly affair, for by it Hunt will lose an
immense fortune. Three years ago Ed
ward F. Searles, possessor of the Mark
Hopkins millions, brought young Hunt
to Methuen and lavished upon him ia
vors extraordinary. Hunt had saved the
life of Mrs. Hopkins-Searles and Searles
had decided to literally reward him.
Up to that time he had been a railway
brakeman. He was unable to stand his
good fortune, and lately has been enjoy
ing himself in way that Searles did not
approve of. The last straw came last
week, when he invited friends to the
most elaborate banquet ever spread in
Lawrence, the expenses amounting to $40
plate.
Yesterday the private secretary of
Searles walked into the big store in which
Searles had placed Hunt and took possess
sion. Hunt will leave Methuen, and the
townspeople wonder all the more at the
mystery surrounding his connection with
the millionaire.

HIS FIRST LAND DECISION.
Secretary Smiths Ruling as to Title of
Railroad Grant

Secretary Smiths Ruling as to Title of
Railroad Grant.
WASHINGTON, March p. - Secretary
Hoke Smith to-day entered his first land
decision. 1t was the case of the Southern
Pacific Railroad, and involved the ques-
ton of the right of that company to lands
within its granted limits and the limits of
the grant to the Atlantic and Pacific Rail-
road, basing its claim on the ground that
the latter company never complied with
its requirements Of the grant in the mat
ter of locating its road and forfeiture of
its grant.
The Secretary holds, however, that the
Southern Pacific Company has acquired
no title to the lands in question under its
grant. This decision operates to open
these lands, aggregating many thousands
of acres in Southern California, to settle
ment and entry. The Commissioner of
the General Land Office is accordingly
directed to take the steps necessary to re-
store them to the public domain.

WASHINGTON, March a. -'I know

Teller of Colorado, this morning, when
asked, just as he came from short talk
with Cleveland, what news there was
with regard to the international None
tary Conference. Subsequently Senator
Teller had an extended interview with
Secretary Carlisle in regard to the con-
ference, and was told by the Secretary
that it had been definitely settled that the
United States would send delegates. 1t
is likely the old delegates will be re-
questei to serve.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Seldom has

obliged to cut down the force of clerks in
his department. Senators, Representa-
tives and other men of influence have
implored HIM to reinstate this one or that.
Carlisle has so far, however, not yielded
to any of these opportunities. He re-
marked to one who desired the retention

of choice on my part, but a case of ne

Musketl.y Training,

y writer IN German war journal,
commenting on the experience of the
most recent wars, says that the new rifle
has reduced all armies 10 nearly the same
level, so far as arms are concerned. Even
the effect of the individuality of the men
will be TO a certain extent lost, and the
advantage will now be on the side OF
those who have the best training. This
can only be tested when within ranges at
which small objects can be aimed at. The
grand end of musketry instruction must
now be to make men accurate shots at
distances of from 500 yards to 600 yards.

IReprinted by special permission from the
North American Review. Copyright. 1893
by Lloyd Bryce.1
hev. Dr. James NJ. King, General Sec
retary of the National League for the
Protection of American Institutions, con-
tributes the following interesting paper
on the public school question:
THE AMERICAN COMMON SCHOOLS.
Dangers threatening the common
schools IN this Republic, arising from re-
l!glous controversy, have from time to
tlme appeared, and in most instances
nave been happily and successfully
averted.
The principal assaults, and they have
recently taken on great boldness, have
heen III the direction of the demands for
the division of the school fund on de-
nomlnatlonaI lines, in order that sys-
tematlc sectarian religious instruction
/ might be given at the expense of the
| state. But these demands cannot be as
! sented to without annihilating the COM
mon school system, and without the de-
struction of the conceded American
principle of the complete separation of
Church and State.
Inc legal status of the common school
IN each state, from both the secular and
the religious standpoint, is dependent
| upon uhaC states constitution and legis-
!atlve enactments. There are in these
interests certain fundamental principles
common to the entire country, certain
uniform laws bearing upon the common
school system, giving it kind of au-
tonomy, and, so to speak, establishing
non-partisan and unsectarian republic
OF letters within the body polite.
The people, dividing as thev will into
religious sects, the individual interests
OF each sect must be advanced by its
own effort and at its own cost. The
/ common school system uninterrupted
and honestly worked has all the power
necessary to the attainment of its con-
cedeu ana legitimate purpose, and that
is 10 largely promote the weiI-beino of
the State through an intelligent and
moral citizenship.
