opposed to everything like aggressive measures
When General Saigo and others of the existing
Cabinet resigned because their warlike measures

to a seat in the Cabinet and he has since been one
of the most influential and industrious members

ITAGAKI TAISUKE.

ITAGAKI TAISUKE
Itagak Taisuke is another of the great men OF
Japan whose commanding influence Is felt in the
conduct OF the present struggle OF the Empire
with the forces OF the Flowery Kingdom. He was
educated for the military profession. and for his
important services in the War for the Restoration
he enjoys large annual pension. He was like
wise appointed ono of the Sanj or privy council
ors OF the Empire, and only resigned that high
office when. with his friend SaigO and others, he
found himself in the minority which advocated
war with Corea. In time Of peace Mr. Itagaki Is
regarded Of the most eminent leaders OF
liberal principles. but it H. needless TO say that at
the present iuncture of affairs all thought of local
politics is merged in the patriotic purpose OF
every Japanese to uphold the honor OF his country.

NORTHERN PACIFIC.
THE RECENT THREAT OF STRIKE ON
THAT ROAD.
How IL Was Treated by the Company's
Oficers-A Method That In
Thought Important.

NEW YORK, January 5.-The Northern
Pacific Railroad Company is paying the
interest due on its first-mortsage bonds.
Railroad magnates and Wall-street men
generally are discussing the manner In
which the threatened strike on the North
ern Pacific was handled. Ii was some
thing never before accomplished In the
history Of railroading.
When the receivers first heard Of the
threatened strike they issued schedule
OF prices, but the men and labor unions
refused positively to accede to the terms.
The receivers secured the name and adj
dress Of every employee OF consequence
and applied to the court for an tnJlnc-
tion restraining these men from injuring
the company's property In any way, and
from interfering with It's business, or IN
fiuencing any employee to neglect his
work. They had n copy OF this order
served on the above employees and lead-
ers OF the labor unions ten days or more
before the day set for the strike.
CONFERENCES.
Then the receivers secured conferences
with the leaders Of the men, and advised
them to secure counsel and lay their
case and grievances before the court,
and settle the case in that manner. This
the men decided TO DO. The strike did
not occur and the men have laid their
complaint before the very court that
issued the Injunction against them.
The receivers say that they viii he
glad to comply with any changes in their
schedule which the court may recommend
after hearing the mems side OF the case.
Financial men here consider 1t great
and important change In the methods ot
settling disputes between railroad en-
ployees and companies.

WALL-STREET TALK
New Banks and Bank Reorganization
Rumors with Foundation.

NEW YORK. January 5.-Wall street
was busy to-day with rumors OF new
banks and nk-reorganizations, and some
of the rumors have little foundation In
fact. one report, however, which has a
great deal Of truth back of 1t was that
a number Of wealthy men have under con-
templation a reorganization of the 81.
Nicholas Bank. The idea is to put new
men throughout in the bank, make its
capltal Sl,O0O.0OO with surplus OF equal
amount. and put eX-Comptroller Iheo-
dore w. Myers in as president.
Another matter that Is interesting the
street is the reported pooling OF the busi-
ness OF the Southern and the United
States National Banks, the consolidated
concern being continued under the name
II the former. IL is known that plan
.-uf consolidation Is being considered by ne
United States people, but 1t is probable
that nothing will be done until after Tues
day next on that day the directors or
the Southern National will meet TO take
action on the proposed reduction of capi-
tai and Il Is said that a new president
will be named TO succeed w. w. Flanna-
gan, who win retire.

STANDS WITH Or. BRIGGS.
A North Carolina Missionary Resigns His
Charge In siam.

CHARLOTTE, N. c.. January 5.-The
StatesvilIe IN. Co Landmark has received
information that Rev. Evander McGil-
yray a Presbyterian missionary to Siam,
has resigned as a missionary, the reason
for his action being that Mr. Gilyray
holds the views of Rev. DR.. Charles +.
Briggs, whose trial for heresy and subse-
ouent expulsion from the Presbyterian
Church by the General Assembly are still
fresh in the minds of all.
Before Mr.. Gilvray went TO the foreign
field he imbibed the Views OF DR. Briggs
and after the result of the latters trial
he concluded that he could not longer con-
sistently remain in the church. and there
fore rendered his resignation, which was
promptly accepted.
Mr. McGllvray Is a son OF Rev. ID. {.
McGiIvray, ID. D., a native OF North Caro-
lima. who for many years has labored In
the mission field OF Siam under the direc-
tion OF the Presbyterian Church. This
action on the part Of his son is a source
OF grief to the father, who hoped that
his MANTLE after he passes away, would
fall upon his sons shoulders.
The younger McGilvray is a very highly
educated man. He graduated at Prince
ton Theological Seminary and obtained a
scholarship. About three years ago, hav-
ing completed his education, he was mar
ried to a young lady in New Jersey. and
Immediately thereafter left for Siam.
Now that he has resigned he will return
TO this country, but what he proposes
doing Is not yet known. and he doubtless
has not decided for himself.
