One Grand Division Pool.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The Central Traffic
Association lines have abandoned the plan
of dividing passenger earnings on the esti-
mates of local organization. The business
was too complicated to be handled in that
way and it is now proposed to substitute
for the original plan one grand division pool.
They have agreed that statistics of the pas
senger business of 1890, 1891. 1892 and 1898
shall be submitted to the arbitrators, who
are to make the divisions as soon as they
are appointed, in order to give them ba-
sis upon which TO distribute the business.
meeting of the general managers is down
for next Tuesday, and the passenger agents
have adjourned until after that time.
The committee which has been laboring
with the transcontinental rate problem to-
day announced that it must have more time
in which to complete its report, and an ad-
iournment of the Western Passenger ASso-
citation lines has been taken until Thursday
of next week. The rates now in effect Will
remain without change until after the meet

ness have been brought against the Union
Pacific. This time the accusation is in con-
nectiOn with emigrant business. The Union
Pacific was never q party formally TO the
establishment of the clearing house in New
York but il gave the other lines positive
assurances that il would not attempt to
disturb the clearing house IN any way. 1t
is now charged that it is paying larger COM
missions than allowed by the agreement
and resortng to other means of securing
the business which are contrary to the as
surances it made when the clearing house
was started. Il meeting of the clearing
house advisory committee held to-day
but no definite action was taken.

Judge Lynch visits Greece.

ATHENS, Feb. 3.-The execution Of four
Christians who were sentenced to death
for various crimes In the island OF Crete
has incensed the Christians of the island
against the government. Their Indignation
is increased by the fact that several Mus
sulrnans who were convicted of capital
charges have been reprieved. Two Mussul-
mans were found hanging TO the trees near
Seine recently, and it is thought they were
executed by Christians who were enraged
at the treatment accorded TO Their comrades.
The lynching of these two men led to
wholesale arrests and the fanaticism of
both sects has been aroused. All the for
eign consuls in Canea, except the Russian
representative, have protested against the
execution of the Christians.

ALL CHARGES DENIED
Northern Pacific Case Again Be-
fore the Federal Court.
Reply to the Ives Petition for Removal
of Receivers-The Proposed Central
Traffic Passenger Pool.

MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 3.-There was filed
to-day by the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company, Sheldon & Co., 2. B. Winslow
and Receivers Oakes, Payne and Rouse in
the Circuit Court of the United States in
Milwaukee six separate answers to the
Ives petition for the removal of the North
ern Pacific receivers. The answers present
exhaustive replies to every charge made,
and comprise over five hundred printed
pages and accompanied by documents
and proofs, in all making 100000 words.
The answers not only meet all specific
charges, but explain and refute mere in
situations. Not point is left unanswered.
All technical objections to the petition on
account of ambiguity and vagueness have
been waived, and the receivers have with
frankness, laid all the facts and circum-
stances of the entire subject fully before
the court, with numerous affidavits and
other evidence in support of their details.
1t is shown that the branch-line policy
originated during the Ives-Harris admin
istration and the receivers have already
paid $5,000,00O preferential debts and about
s., 100000 interest with important econom-
les in operations. Mr.. Oakes
answers every charge specifically
filing exhaustive documents and
proofs Mr. Ralston vigorously scores
his accusers, and refutes every allegation.
In his answer, Mr.. Oates specifically de-
MES that he was partner in or profited
by the construction of any of the lines or
the guarantee of any of the bonds of the
same, and courts the fullest investigation
and he also denies that the directors prof
tied thereby. He shows that under his
mana cement, the gross earnings were in
creased from $12.0oo,000 to $24,000,000, until
the recent extraordinary depression which
solely caused the bankruptcy Of the COM
pany. He then reviews the history of the
purchase or lease of the various branches,
and says that those secured during the
period Mr. Oates was a director furnished
business to the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company of over $i,0o000o or more than
one-half of the entire revenue derived by
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
from interchanged business with all its
branches.
AS to the Chicago terminals and the Wis
consin Central lease the answer shows that
before the lease or any traffic contract was
entered into the value of the properties in
Guiding the terminals were thoroughly and
carefully examined by independent experts
who expected to make large investments in
the Chicago terminal bonds; that these ex-
perts uniformly placed the value of the
leased properties largely in excess of the
value on which rental was paid under the
leases; that the IveS-Clews report of last
year placed the value of the Chicago term
inals at about S2S,00 600, while they were
acquired under the lease by the Northern
Pacific on q rental value of about S1S.GOO,000
and that he (Nfr. Oates had no interest
direct or indirect In the acq lisition and
control of these properties.

speedy termination of the troubles in Hon

are on the side of the rebels and invaders.
although nobody ventures to express a de-
cided opinion concerning the issue of the

dent Vasquez has probably reached the full
strength of his resources. while the supply
of reinforcements from Nicaragua are by
no means exhausted and the rebellious
party is steadily gaining strength in Hon
duras itself. VaSquez il is said is not
popular, having gained and strengthened
his position chiefly by force. His opponent
on the other hand, is said to be exceeding
ly popular and of high reputation. He is a
young man about thirty-eight years of age.
