NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Wall street was treated
to a mild sensation shortly before the close of
business today. by the announcement OF the
formation Of a syndicate to take any part OF
the proposed government loan that might not
be subscribed for at Secretary Carlisle's upset
price. This change of front by the New York
f1nanciers, who yesterday were by no means
ardent in their reception of the secretary 5
plan. Is IN part accounted for by the TACT that
upon reflection the banking element concluded
that the failure of the loan would affect the
credit of the United States abroad, which
would have the effect of inspiring lack OF
confidence in the foreign holders of American
securities, with the result of creating stua-
tion inimical to the financial interests of Wall
street and the country at large. By the form
ing of a syndicate TO take the bonds at no al
vance on the upset price, competition was
lessened, and the necessity for paying pre-
MUM on the upset price was removed. thus
increasing the margin of profit to be gained
by the syndicate. The announcement OF the
formation of the syndicate did not reach the
exchange until just before tie close of bust
ness but it materially strengthened the final
dealings and impaired tone approaching to
buoyancy to speculation at the close.
The day on the exchange was vrry duu

a weak opening the general market rallied.

reacted a fraction, but was again started on
the upward track by purchasing movement

recovered by noon. During the afternoon the
market was we'll held, and became quite

DENIED BY IRELAND.

ST PAUL, Jan. 3O.-When Archbishop
Ireland was shown the dispatch from st.
Louis, stating that he would succeed
Monsignor Sstolli as papal delegate to this
country, he was at first inclined to con-
slider it as too improbable to deserve
serious consideration. But being urged
by the Associated Press that the general
public would be interested in definite
statement on the subject, he said:
when Monsiguor Satolli shall be re-
called, he will have successor, and that
successor will come from Rome. 1t is de-
cidedlv the policy of the pope that no
bishop occupying any see in the United
States be the delegate to this country. The
reason is very plain. The bishop himself
any bishop-may himself have cases to
be adjudicated. and no member of the
hierarchy could be presumed to be-as a
delegate should be-absolutely above all
bias of personal or local interest in the de-
cisions which should come from the
supreme court of the church. This is
positive and final, no matter what reports
TO the contrary may come"

shortly after midnight at the Nesuvlus
iron works OF Moorhead Bros. d Co.,
between strikers and non-uDlon men.

number injured.

few days ago the finishing department
resumed with nom union men,
Tonight the strikers held a meeting and

men were at work. The mob carried re-
volvers, clubs and stones. The rioters fired
several volieys, and AT the first one work
man, whose name is not known, felf to the
floor, shot through the back. He will
probably die. The workmen were then
surrounded, and, being outnumbered four
to one. fled from the mill. protecting
themselves with tools and pieces of iron.
They were driven some distanc., and then
escaped Several were injured, Eut how
seriously is not known. Alter their flight
the mob quickly dispersed. The plant
was at once shut down and the furnaces
banked. No attempt will be made to re-
sumo until the men have protection. The
leaders of the mob are known. AT 1:3O

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC,

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 30.-Judge
James G. jenkins this afternoon filed In
the United States circuit court his decis-
ion in the matter of the petition of the
Brayton Ives faction of the Northern Pa
cific stockholders. to compel the receivers
10 turn over the control of the road to the
officers. The judge denied the petition.
Judge Jenkins says, after detailing the
history of the recevership, that the quail
cation or disqualification of the present
receivers, and the manner in which they
have discharged their trust, and the pro-
prety of continuing them, will be consid-
cred when the matter is properly before
the court. Further reference to this. he
says, would be premature. He says that
the receivers have thus far not failed in
their duty to the court and to
the public. when they had lawful
custody of the bonds and stocks,
seals of the company, etc. and gave tine
officers of the company all reasonable ac-
cess TO the same. The court JuStifi-s the
resignation of Secretary Earl, who had
challenged the integrity of the receivers
while holding confidential position with
the receivers. In regard to the custody of
the books and papers, Judge Jenkins says
that he conceives it his duty to the private
interest and public welfare to keep them
in the custody of the court until all parties
interested,i in spirit OF county and equity.
shall have agreed upon such wise provis-
ions of reorganization as will entail the
least possible loss to each holder of the
bonds and stocks The court also refuses
10 direct the receivers to ordar the pay
ment of compensation for the services of
"A secretary, treasurer, auditor. counsel.
etc.
ST PAUL, Jan. 30-It WAS not to be ex-
pected that the brotherhood men of the
Northern Pacific would be entirely satis-
fled with the modified conclusions return
ed by the receivers. The notifications. it
is understood, mark the limit, and if the
men are not satisfied they will have to
adopt other measures. They are certainly
dissatisfied with the result, and il is gem
orally believed will not accept the terms of
the reply. There seems little doubt, how
ever. that the men will appeal to the
rOnrts
