A Big Suit to Be Brought Against
the Receivers.

st. Louis, Feb. 22.-There was a con-
ference today of the Atchison and
Frisco people, at which were also pres
ent j. F. Reinhardt, president and re-
ceiver of the Atchison; J. C. Wilson,
receiver at Topeka. and w. w. Green.
of Alexander & Green, attorneys, of
New York
The meeting was preliminary TO a
suit to be brought in the United States
circuit court tomorrow to bring aboaC
a change of policy. here has been a
feeling of dissatisfaction among the
general mortgage bondholders of the
Frisco company sver since the re-
ceivers were appointed for 5he Atehison
and Frisco. They say it is impossible
for the present receivers to handle both
properties fairly. They want to take
the property out of the jurisdiction of
the United States court, and place it
under the circuit court of the state.
The United States Trust company, of
New York, who represent the general
mortgage bondholders, will appear be-
fore Judge Caldwell and ask him to
remove the existing receivers and give
the Frisco company a separate and
distinct receivers. They will also ask
that the receivers of the Frisco be
placed within the jurisdiction of the
state courts and want the receivers to
pay the half year interest due on Jan
uary, 1894, on the general mortgage
bonds. They will ask that these mort
cages be fOrecloSed

New York, Feb 22-The city was
all agog this morning, when it was
learned, for the first time, from the
staring headlines of the newspapers,
of the arrest and incarceration of
Erastus Wiman, the man who had
been such a conspicuous figure in the
commercial life of the metropolis.
Contrary to the custom in the cases
of distinguished prisoners, no favors
were shown Wiman when he was
locked up in the Toombs last night.
In fact he was given quarters in muir
derer's row.
In answer to a note sent in this
morning by his newspaper acquaint-
ances, asking for a statement, he sent
out the following reply:
Il would be very glad to do so; but
under the advice of General Tracy,
my counsel, will make no statement
till my turn comes. When the ammu-
milton of the moving powers against
me is exhausted, and their hired men
have done arraigning and trying me in
the newspapers. it will then be time
for me to speak"
The warden says he passed a good
night, bearing up bravely under his
troubles.
His son visited him this morning.
After coming out he said his father
would not try to get bail today, as it
was a holiday; but would probably ar
range for it tomorrow. The impress
sion is that he is not anxious to get

TROUBLE IN SAMOA.
A Son of Tamasese is Leading the
Movement.


New York, Feb. pa special from
Washington says: More trouble is brew
ing in Samoa. According to official
advices recently received here, the son
of Tamasese, one of the former kings
of Samoa, is leading movement
against Malietoa. He is said to have
a large following of natives, who are
rebellious, not so much against the
immediate rulers as against the tri-
partite government, which controls af-
fairs on the islands. When the Mataafa
Iadherents surrendered last fall and
were transferred on one of the islands
of the Marshall group, it was hoped
there would be no further trouble in
Samoa, although the present admins
tration never felt very confident that
affairs on the islands would run along
smoothly and peacefully till some
other form of government prevails.
1t is said negotiations are now in
progress between the United States
and Great Britain and Germany for a
modification of the Berlin treaty, but
it is not known what the changes are.
President Cleveland took occasion in
his annual message to disapprove of
the existing tripartite.
Great Britain and Germany are like
wise dissatisfied, and would probably
like change as much as this govern
ment, and the unfortunate natives are
even more anxious for another form
of government than any other of the
parties concerned.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 22-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Morton has writ
ten letter to Representative Sibley,
of Pennsylvania. defending himself
against the structures made against
him for his position on the question
of government aid in the determination
of the Canada thistle and other mat
ters affecting the agricultural interests.
He encloses a letter which he wrote to
Governor Shortridge. of North Dakota,
in which the following language oc-
ours:
mo one more than myself appre-
ciates the Importance of DISCRIMINATING
this and other noxious weeds which in
fest the farms of the United States.
but I do not think it business for the
government to destroy weeds for the
people any more than to raise wheat
for them, or cut corn, by appropria-
lions from the public funds"
He adds that the government having
given lands to homesteaders. they
should be inspired to bring them to
the highest state of cultivation, and
the law of self-preservation should
teach them to apply every means at
command for either utilizing or exter-
minating the Canada thistle"
Morton quotes from letters from edi-
tors of and editorials in AGRICULTURAL
papers in Manitoba and Dakota to the
the effect that the thistle is very valua-
bic for fodder or as a fertilizer
The secretary says in view of the d.
Versity of opinion on the subject. he
sees no reason to change his position
as to the prOpriety of appropriating a.
million dollars for its determination.
Morton in his letter to Sibley contin-
ues:
You remark that am reported as
antagOnistic to the bureau of animal
industry, opposed to meat inspection
and adverse to the distribution Of
seeds to the farmers" and adds that
he has sent Sibley copy of his report
Tor 1898, and asks him to read it to
learn his views. He says Sibley cites
other reported utterances without
foundation or grossly distorted, and
closes as follows:
Having lived in the country, on the
same farm, among real farmers. for
for nearly forty years, I have a very
strong abiding interest in the welfare
OF the American agriculture, and a
wholesome, honest ambition in every
legitimate manner to exalt its charac-
ter, and to increase it's usefulness"

ADDING FUEL TO THE FLAMES.
Day by Day the Railway Breach Is
Midened.


Chicago, Feb. 22.-The Western Pas
senger association lines today fused
themselves with the Canadian Pacific
differentials. The Southern Pacific
offered to abandon its claim to differ
entails, if a guarantee was given that
the amount of Pacific coast business
would be equal to that done in 1892
about 4 per cent. of the total through
business. The Canadian Pacific re-
fused to submit any propositions.
1t is not likely the Soo's proposition
one-Sided, but a committee was ap-
pointed to consider and report next
Tuesday.
The question of the attitude of the
Western association towards the strug-
gle between the Atchison and Southern
Pacific is becoming a most important
preliminary feature of the row About
three months ago, when the Southern
Pacific and Atchison had a small dis
pute in Southern California the South
ern Pacific promptly routed all bust
ness via Ell Paso and shut out connec-
tions on the north. The Rock Island
and Burlington are fearful this may
be repeated, and if they join issues
with either side they are likely to lose
heavily on intermediate business. and
neither views such a prospect with
complacence- If they decline to take
any part in the row, the Atchison will
probably withdraw from the associa-
ton and the two roads stand a chance
of being compelled to fight for reven-
ues from through Pacific coast traffic.
However, the general sentiment of the
association is with the Atchison.

CONCERNING THE TARrNF.
Democratic Senator'S Disturbed Over
the Situation.

Washington. Feb. 22.-The Demo-
cratic members of the Senate are
much disturbed over the situation con-
corning the tariff bill.
They used half of the holiday today
to make a decided effort to agree upon
the features of the bill so as to in
sure its passage. They did not make
any marked progress and will con-
tinue their efforts tomorrow and Sat
urday, undisturbed by other official
business, as the Senate has adjourned
until Monday.
Whether the call for the caucus cir
culated today shall be considered Sc
riously. will depend upon the success
of the Democratic senators in reach
ing an agreement without this confer
ence.
The call was circulated quite vigor-
ously for a short time during the early
part of the session, and after about
fifteen names had been secured the
effort was suspended 1t was pre-
sented, as q rule, to senators known
to be urging changes in the bill, the
result being that many of those in ac-
cord with the committee on the tariff
were ignorant of the fact that call
was in circulation.
There is no doubt a sufficient num-
Der of signatures have been secured
to insure the calling of the caucus, as
only five are required for that pur-
pose; but it would appear that The
signers do not intend pressing the cali
if satisfactory agreement can be ar
rived at without a caucus.
| There is little doubt but German is
in accord with the movement for a
caucus. He was present at the con-
ference earlier in the day at which the
circulation of the call was decided
upon.
| Six senator's took part in the confer
ence-Gorman. Butler, Hill, Murphy
Brice and Caffery.

TAKEN On A SERIOUS PHASE.
A. r. AS May Yet Be Charged with
Treason.

Treason.
Toledo, O., Feb. 22.--It develops today
that the war department question of
the local American Protective associa-
ton will turn out to be more serious
than the suit in the Justices court for
the payment for guns.
United States District Attorney Bris-
enmade said today; Il was surprised
when l learned of the trial in the JUS
tees court yesterday. The matter has
not been brought to my attention, but
| if the complaint is made, shall do my
duty fully. If men are so foolish as
to break the laws of the United States
they must suffer the consequences.
Another attorney said. Something
will be done in this matter at once.
! [ have just been examining the stat
utes and find men organizing as armed
on citizens of the United States or the
government itself comes under the
head of treason and conspiracy.
1t is generally understood that the
matter will be brought before the fed
eral grand jury and special sitting
will probably be called. The case will
be fully reported to the United States
attorney general at Washington and
will be pushed to an issue.
Catholics, and those who oppose the
a. P. A. for other reasons, have be-
come aroused against the order since
the details of the gun purchase have
been made public and an effort will
be made to crush the society in this
city, where for two years it has held
the balance of political power
Some of the city officials, including
the mayor and police commissioners,
are said to have been among the num-
| Der fearful of the uprising, and had
purchased rifles.
| G. w. Ostrander, against whom
suit was brought as treasur-
er, admitted in an interview tonight
that different councils had ordered
| 3, 900 guns last August.
