C. & n. P. REORGANIZATION.
The Main Points in the Scheme Are
Outlined.

New York, Nov. 21-The Chicago &
Northern Pacific bondholders' COM
mittee have completed the plan of re-
organization, the main points of which
are as follows:
The new company is to be formed
under the name, The Chicago Terminal
& Railway company, which shall issue
stock to an amount not to exceed its
bonded Indebtedness, which stock may
be divided into common and preferred
Shares. To prevent the possibility of
adverse control of the company in the
early stages of its existence, all stock
issued shall contain a provision giving
the committee of the bondholders
authority to EJECT directors annually
for a reasonable period from the date
OF the new mortgage. AS soon as the
road is brought in under foreclosure, a
meeting of the holders of the United
States Trust company certificates shall
be called to consider the further de
tails of the plan The right is reserved
by the bondholder5' committee to sug-
gest in such a detailed plan the amount
of bonds and stock TO be withheld
from general distribut ton and used for
these purposes: First, to acquire COM
peting or connecting properties, if the
committee and bondholders deem it ad-
yisalble; second, to secure the payment
Of the assessment on the old common
shares, ard third, to effect, if possible,
some recognition of the stockholding
interest; the restitution of 100000 and
the settlement of all other claims
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
company.
The company will issue to the holders
of the present first mortgage bones
new securities in the shape of bonds
and stock bearing interest and divi-
dends as the earnings of the company
warrant A certain proportion of the
new securities, both bonds and stocks,
shall be issued to the holders of the
United States Trust company'S certifi-
Gates, subject to the expenses of fore
closure and organization. This plan is
to become operative when approved by
seventy per cent. Of the holders of the
United States Trust company certifi-
Gates. The committee states that it ap-
pears that s2,500000 Chicago &c North
ern Pacific bonds have been used by
the Northern Pacific company without
authority and without compensation to
the latter Long and tedious negotia-
tons were commenced early last spring
and have been broken off without re-
suits. Recourse must be had to the
courts unless a satisfactory settlement
can otherwise be made.

LOANED 1T TO HIS FRIENDS.
Chemical National Bank the Victim
of DefauIter.


New York, Nov 21-The Chemical
National bank, one of the most pros
porous and most conservative institu
tons in the country, has, for the first
time in half a century, been made the
victim of a defaulter. The amount in
volved as far as known is s15,715, and
John r. TAFT, who was the paying tell
er. is the official accused.
The matter is peculiar, inasmuch as
the officials of the bank declare that
not a cent of the money went to his
own use. The proof of this IS that me
could have taken s1,000.000 as we'll as
few thousands, had ne been so in
cMned. Tnree-fourths of the sum, they
say, he lent to personal friends. and
the rest, it is said, is due to errors
made by TAFT in paying out cash. AL
though the first loans were made more
than a year ago. the shortage having
been carefully hidden, was not discov-
cred by William II. Kimlball, the ma
tiona! bank examiner, when he inspect
ed the institution officially last May,
but it was he who unearthed these pc
culiar transactions, having in a pri-
vate capacity been employed to look
over the books. TAFT has been in the
service of the bank for twenty-eight
years, and is nearly so years old. 1t is
known that ne never speculated and
that he lived within his means.
When TAFT was brought before Presi-
dent Williams, he burst into tears, and
confessed that he had done wrong; but
SO crushed and Inundated was he, and
so badly did his mental powers seem
to be impaired that he could make no
satisfactory explanation. TAFT IS a pill
lar. in the Methodist church and Sun
day school. He has offered his hand

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 21.-Great excite
ment has been caused throughout the
Puget sound country by what is looked
upon by many as an eruption of Mount
Tacoma, or Rainier, .14,444 feet high,
and one of the Hottest peaks in the
United States. The mountain has late
ly been strangely transformed. The
crest of the great monarch of the Cas-
cades has changed, the cone having
fallen in, and steam can be seen ris-
ing from the crater. There is no erup-
ton, it is believed by those most COM
petent to judge, but great masses of
rock seem to have fallen. The snow
capped cone has disappeared and a
sharp pointed peak has risen in it's place
to the east of the crater. The changed
appearance of the mountain is evident
from the streets of Seattle, ninety miles
distant, and thousands of people have
watched the great peak all the after
noon. But a very few people have ever
assembled the mountain, and at this sea-
son of the year the ascension is an abso-
lutte impossibility, so there is no way of
making thorough investigation of the
phenomenon.

A MILD ERUPTION.
This is the Story That Comes From
Seattle.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 21-Mount
Rainier is in state Of mild eruption.
The appearance of the summit is entire
ly changed and a new peak has ap-
peared in its en- re. Soon after sunrl Sc
this morning, the sky and air being
rem lrkably cl ar, clouds of back smoke
were seen curing from the southwest
ern part of the peak, where the crater
is located, coming at intervals of about
fifteen seconds. The dome-like top had
disappeared and been replaced by a
flat top with a large crevasse extending
down the side, while in the centre of
its summit a new peak had appeared
on the northern side. The snow was all
gone from the summit, as though
melted off, and some falling masses of
rock, stripped of their white covering,
could be plainly discerned. Steam is
also seen mingling with the smoke,
which rose 100 feet above the summit.
Mount Rainier is a cone-shaped peak
and stands slightly to the west of the
main Cascade range, 60 miles southeast
OF Seattle. 1t rises fully 5000 fael above
the range. 1t has three craters, of
which the principal and most perfect is
the scene of the present volcanic dis
turbances. This crater is half a m lie
across with walls OF rock fifty feet
high and thousands of jets of hot air
and steam issue from this rim The
inside Of the crater is filed with snow
and ice, in which the smou.dering vol
cano and steam jets have formed in
Vulnerable caves, one Of which has been
penetrated by explorers to a depth OF
100 feet. While they have used tn steam
Jets for co king. 1t is supposed that the
walls Of the crater having been gradual
ty weakened at the base, have fallen,
leaving peak composed of rock on
which the snowy cone named Columbian
crest had formed and that the internal
fires thus free have burst forth in new
vigor. The eruption became hidden by
clouds soon after s a. m.

HirschfeId's Linen Being Washed in
PuhIic.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 21.-Iiss Della
Hogan's conduct previous to her mar
riage to Millionaire Hirschfeld was the
subject of a lengthy deposition, the
reading of which consumed almost the
entire time in the case today.
L. H. Hirschfeld said:
During the past year Aaron was
more Of nuisance than a help in bust
ness matters, owing to the mental
alteration from which he was suffer-
ing
Nose Morris testified to Hirschfeld's
peculiar conduct.
Mrs. Emma J. Howard, of Helena,
said Miss Hogan had told her she had
Hirschfeld solid and that it was his
money she was after.
John NJ. Cameron was certain Hirsch-
field was not in his right mind during
the period Of his courtship and mar
riage.
George w. Blanchard, Hugo Bauman
and i. e. Bailey are employed in the
Palmer house, Chicago.
Hirschfeld and Miss Hogan stopped
at this Motel in September, when they
went to Chicago to get married. The
witnesses testified that Miss Hogan's
conduct was unseeinly during her stay
at the hosel. She romped in the hall

MoNTEITH,s IDEA.
PROPOSES to Summon Prestoens
Cleveland as Witness.

PrOnOSPs to Su1HHaOh
Cleveland as Il Witness.
San Francisco, Nov. 21.-Attorney
Monteith is preparing some aftidaV1ts
TO be filed tomorrow in the case of the
strikers now on trial for obstructing
the mails and interfering with inter-
state commerce. 1t is his purpose to
make every effort possible to summon
to this city as witnesses in the cases
now pending, President Cleveland and
the managers of all the principal east
ern railroads which were in any way
involved in the big strike. If the ap-
plication of the defense for these ols-
tinguished witnesses be refused, the
matter may be carried to the supreme
court for final adjudication. Monteith,
speaking of the case, said:
eve hold that the president of the
United States and the managers of the
eastern roads were technically guilty
of obstructing the United States mails
when they put forth the presidential
and mana gerial proclana tions concern
ing the strike We want to find out
why that proclamation was made, and
on that point Mr.. Cleveland's testi-
mony is essential. 1 do not believe
there is any law by which he can
claim exemption from coming and tes
tifying as a witness"
The matter will be decided by Judge
Morrow tomorrow.

THE END IN SIGHT.
Litigation Between the Tyler ana
the Last Chance Company.

Litigation Between the Tyler ana
the Last Chance Company.
Washington, D. c.. Nov. 21-[Special.]
The settlement of litigation in the
celebrated suit between the Tyler Min
ing company and the Last Chance COIN
p3ny, over their claims in Couer d.
Alene, Idaho, seems finally in sight, as
it has been brought to the United
States supreme court ON a. petition for
a writ Of certiorari on the ninth cir
cult court Of appeals. The petition has
been argued and submitted, Judge Nc
Bride, formerly residing in Salt Lake,
having appeared for the Tyler COM
panly, and Judge Hepburn for the Last
Chance.
The litigation in this case has been
uneXceptionaily heated, both parties
having spent small fortunes in at
tempting to win.
The case has been tried twice before a
jury and twice appealed TO the circuit
court of appeals.
The Tyler company, in these trials,
has proved uniformly successful, and il
the writ Of certiorari is refused by the
supreme court, its victory will be COM
plete and the two claims can be opened
up without hindrance.

G. A. r. RESOLUTIONS.
They VIII he Presented to President
Cleveland.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Commander-
in-Chief Lawler. of the C. A. r, and
his Acknowledgement, c. j. Jones, ar
rived today to present to President
Cleveland the resolution adopted by
the national encampment at PlttsburS,
protesting against the discharge OF
veterans Of the late war from govern
ment positions.
President Cleveland did not come in
from his country place at Woodley
today, so that it is doubtful if the
Grand Army delegates will be able to
see him. General Lawler says he does
not intend to make any speech, but
will be prepared to answer any ques-
lions if the president desires informa-
ton. He is fortified with data upon
the discharges of veterans from the
departments, collected by the local
posts of the G, A. r.
Commander-in-Ch Lawler and Adj
jutant-General Jones called at tho
White House at 2:3O O'Clock. They
were received by Private Secretary
Thurber.
MIR. Lawler presented to Secretary
Thurber the resolutions Of the last
encampment of the G. a. r., accom-
panied by a statement of the cases of
old soldiers who had been reduced, ana
those who, it is claimed, have been dis
eliminated against in other ways.
General LAWYER declined to make the
statement public, but said it was a
conservative presentation Of the case
based upon facts and couched in mod
crate and respectful terms. The or
ganization had no political ends tn
serve and no desire to dc injustice to
the administration. he said, but felt
the facts bearing upon the treatment
of old soldiers in the government SER
vice should be made known to Presi-
dent Cleveland, so any action he might
see fit to take should be taken with
full knowledge of the matter.
1t is understood the reinstatement of
some veterans who have been dis
charged is asked for.

San Francisco. Nov. 21.-Antonio
EZeta has arrived from Mexico. He
says that the sole object of his visit to
this city is to meet his two children,
who were to leave San Salvador on the

ages in case General Ezeta should make
any effort to return to San Salvador.
The general says he intends staying
at least a month in this city and then
he will go to New York, Washington
and London to visit friends and collect
money due him for the coffee crop
which he sent from San Salvador prior

NOT DUE TO WHISKY.
Colt Gives Evidence Before the
Court of fnnuirr


Columbus, Nov 21.-The court of inquiry
today in the Colt case heard evidence to
this effect from Colt:
he was not at the door where the firing
occurred. Later he received a telephone
message to get his men out, as the house
was to be blown up by dynamite. Colt
laid stress on the fact that the orders
to fire in case the door was broken or a
stone was thrown or a shot fired at the
men were given by him
In answer to a question relative to the
statement that he was intoxicated, Colonel
Colt testified that he did not enter a sa-
Icon during the day, but en- account of be-
ing cold in the evening Surgeon Guerin
prescribed not to exceed two table spoons
full of stimulant, and that was ali the
liquor he saw or drank at Washington
Court House. He did not see any of his
men Intoxicated, nor did he see liouor in
possession of them. When the order to load
was given in the afternoon, the crowd
numbered nearly 1000. They were threat
ening the lives of Sheriff Cook and him
self.
Colonel Colt said he was not given as
sistance by the local police, and that his
authority to load and fire was found in
the discretion given to commanding Off
GERS in the regulations.

HAS BEEN INDICTED.
A Captain Who Was Very Handy
With Branding Iron.

Omaha, Neb, Nov. PA special to
the Bee from Lander, Wyoming, says:
The grand jury created quite a sensa-
ton here today by indicting Captain
Patrick Henry Ray, of the Eighth In
fantry, acting Indian agent, Shoshone
agency, for branding cattle belonging
to stock man named Boyd. Captain
Raw has rendered himself very obnox-
ious among stock owners by having,
during the past year. seized all the
stock that CHANGED to drift onto the
reservation In this instance, he seized
and branded some cattle which at the
time proved to be off the reservation.
This brings the case within the juris-
diction of the district court and he will
be prosecuted vigorously.
