CAKES ENUMERATED.
Judge Jenkins Confirms the Action
of Special Master Carey.


Milwaukee, Oct 15.-Judge Jenkins
decision, filed in the United States cir
cult court today confirms the portion
of Special Master Carey's report, ex-
onerating Receiver Cakes and COM
mending his conduct,
The decision reviews the masters
report in detail After referring to the
history of the petition for the removal
of the receivers, stating that it was
dismissed, by the court as to Messrs.
Payne and Rouse, and was referred to
Master in Chancery Carey for an ex-
animation as to Nh Cakes, the deci-
sion states that there were four ques-
lions to be determined by the master
First, whether any, of the Northern
Pacific directors had made unlawful
gains out of the Rocky Fork & Cook
City deal: second. whether any of the
directors had made any unlawful gains
out of the Manitoba deal; third, wheth-
er there had been unlawful gains in
the Chicago & Northern Pacific DEAL
and fourth, whether an exorbitant
rate had been paid for the property;
whether anybody in1the Northern Pa
cific made anything out of the leasing
of the terminal lines, and, lastly,
whether, in respect of any of the
gated, Thomas p Cakes knew or
ought to have known of them, and
what measures, if any. he took in pre-
venting thereof for the protection of
the interests of the Northern Pacific
Railway company.
1.-THE MASTER the judge says, was
two months taking testimony in the
matter, and had rendered a necessar-
lily lengthy report, one that was most
elaborate, indicating painstaking and
thorough scrutiny of evidence and
careful consideration of questions in
volved."
found that Henry Willard had made
unlawful gains to the amount of $685.
691 in the Manitoba deal, but Mr..
Cakes did not know and was not
bound to know that Mr.. Willard was
making unlawful gains in the acquisi-
ton of the Manitoba road by the
Northern Pacific, and that in the
Rocky Fork deal no unlawful gains
had been made by the Northern Pa
cific directors, and Mr.. Cakes was not
only free from blame, but had he done
otherwise than he did she would have
been open to just criticism of
either, lacking the business sagacity
to be expected of one in his high of
fetal position, OF of having seriously
neglected the great interests commit
ted to his charge"
Concerning the Chicago & Northern
! Pacific deal, the decision says the ter
minal properties were purchased, not
for the Northern Pacific, but with a
kview to give the Wisconsin Central
| lines terminal facilities. The court
agreed with the master that the rental
was eXorbitant. and that with respect
/
not guilty of negligence in the dis
| charge of his duties.
/ In conclusion, the decision says the
charges against Mr.. Cakes are I'M
founded IN fact. and without support
of evidence
| The question of ordering the receiv-
ers to bring suit against certain di-
rectors to recover unlawful gains is
held for future decision.

MET WITH DISASTER.

Astoria, Ore. Oct. 15.-The big log
raft which was towed to sea over the
Columbia bar on Friday last. destined
for San Francisco, is believed ITO have
met with disaster. During the heavy
gale of Saturday, the raft was driven
back northward, dragging the tug with
it. and last night the raft was sighted
north of the Columbia river. Incoming
vessels today report having encountered
hundreds of drifting logs, and there is
no doubt that they had broken loose
from the raft. The raft was the pro-
perty of the Southern Pacific Railroad
company and contained ten thousand
spars and piles.
