THE WAY CLEARED,
And the Merritts viii Push For
ward Their Road.

And the Merritts Will Push For
ward Their Road.
The case of Donald Grant and others
against the Duluth, Missabe & Northern
Railway company and the directors of
that road, brought in the district court
of Ramsey county to restrain the cor
poration from carrying out its contract
with G. w. Wetmore and others, by
which Wetmore and his associates were
to purchase s2.000,000 OF bonds of the
railway company and S666,666 of its
stock, was yesterday dismissed.
THIS Is one of the suits brought
against the railroad company short
time ago in connection with the suit in
the United States courts Of W. L..
Brown against the same company.
1t will be remembered that Oh Satur-
day last Judge Nelson decided the case
in the United States court in favor of
the railroad and its directors On every
point ana held that Brown had no right
to interfere.
This disposes of all the litigation
which has been brought against the
railroad company or against Its direct
ors. and leaves the railway company
and the Merritts to go ahead on the line
of policy which they had mapped out.
With the Sl,6O0.O00 in cash, which
WetmOre and his associates have agreed
to advance to the railway company, the
railway company is now upon a sound
financial basis and will be vigorously
pushed into the rich iron deposits in
the Missabe range, and will soon bring
out of those iron mines large amount
of high grade Bessemer ore to the im-
mense benefit and advantage, especially
to the northern part of the state and
generally to the whole state.

AT yesterday mornings meeting of the

and members of the various business
associations of the cities of Minneapolis
and st. Paul for the purpose of en-
deav0riEg to secure arrangements for
cheaper rates to the worlds fair, and
also from the South to st. Paul and
Minneapolis during the summer season.
Various members of the roads running
into the Twin Cities were present
at the meetings. and they seemed
to think favorably of the changes
proposed in The rates. A final set
Element of the difficulty was left with
the representatives of the various roads
and members of the business clubs of
Minneapolis and st. Paul. There will
be a meeting in Chicago in the immedi-
ate future at which the rates will be dis
cussed, and during which it is hoped
that the Northwest will be shown some
consideration. The representatives of
the cities of ST. Paul and Minneapolis
will be on hand to see that justice is
done to the cities under discussion.
