REPORTED CUT UNTRUE.
Union Pacific Is in Line With the
Rest

The dispatches from Chicago. printed
yesterday, i'll reference to the threatened
cut by the Union Pacific in transcon-
tiuental rates, were evidently the
vagaries of some correspondent who
was not alive to the true situation. In
cidentally it nlay here be stated that the
meeting of the transcontinental rate
clerks held its final session at the North
ern Pacific general Offices yesterday
morning, after about weeks consider
alton of these very matters. The Union
Pacific had representative present at
every session in the person of MIR. DUR
ham, of Omaha. General Passenger
Agent Fee, of the Northern Pacific,
stated yesterday that there was no
truth III the report, and that he had
received a telegram from General Pas
senger Agent LomaX, of the Union Pa
cific, to the effect that within forty
into effect rates on exactly the
I same basis as the other transcontinental
lines. These have all agreed to the
same rates exactly, and they go into
effect tomorrow. The rates to Helena,
Butte and Spokane are punched. as are
| those to Tacoma, Seattle and Portland.
These rates are. according to the print
ed tariff, to Helena and Butte. first-class
limited. s35; second-class. S25; to Spo-
kane, $40 first-class and $50 secoud-
class; 10 Tacoma, Seattle and Portland.
tirst-class. s45; second class, S35; to San
Francisco, $3.50 frst-class; second
class, $500. These rates apply from
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and Su-
perior.

What MIR. Lomax Says.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 3O.-General Pas
senger Agent Tomah, of the Union
Pacific, was little bit warm this morn
ing after reading the report sent out
from Chicago to the effect that the
Union Pacific road had taken the mi
tiative III the freight war. I'VE are not
cutting rates." said Mr.. Lomax. "but
we will meet any reduction made by the
other roads governing the same territory
that we do. Our rates have been based
on business principles. but of course we
will be compelled 10, meet our rivals in
any move that they may see fit to make.
This cut reduces the tirst-claSS rates
from so to SIS 10 Portland. There is
no change in the second-class rates,

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 30.-Attorney
General O'Connor was granted writ of
quo warranto against the officers of the
Minneapolis, st. Paul IL Sault Ste.
Marie railway by the supreme court
this morning. the effect of which will
be to throw the road into the hands of a
receiver unless 1t at once pays portion
of the license fee due, about 500, 900. into
the state treasury. 1t appears from his
petition that the report of the road for
1892. filed April &, 1873. showed the
amount of It's license due the state to be
about $4,000, half paid at the time re-
port was filed, the other half required by
statute to be paid on or before Aug. 10.
He states the co mpany has neglected,
and now refuses to pay this amount.
He asked leave be granted to institute
proceedings TO have its charter forfeited
unless the amount is paid at once.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, Jan. S0.-Judge
James q. jenkins this afternoon filed i'll
the United States court his decision Ill
the matter of the petition of the Bray
ton Ives faction OF the Northern Pacific
stockholders to compel the receivers to
turn over the control Of the road to the
officers. The judge denies the petition,
and his reasons are given in document
of 5000 words. Judge jenkins says.
after detailing the history of the re-
ownership, that the qualification or
disqualification of the present receivers
and the manner in which they have dis
charged their trust and the proprie;y-of
continuing them will be considered
when the matter is properly before the
court. Further reference to this, he
says, would be premature. They
have had lawful custody OF the
bonds aud stock books, seal of the COM
pany. etc, and gave the officers of the
company all reasonable access TO the
same. The court justifies the resigna.
ton of Secretary Earl. who had chal-
lenged the integrity Of the receivers
While holding q confidential position
with the receivers. In regard to the
custody of books and papers, Judge
Jenkins SAYS he conceived it his duty to
private interests and public welfare to
Keep them III the custody of the court
until all parties interested in spirit OF
comfy and equity shall have agreed
upon such wise provisions of reorgani-
Zation as will entail the least possible
loss to each holder of bonds and stocks.
The court also refuses to direct the
receivers to direct payment Of cOmpen-
Sation for the services of secretary.
treasurer, auditor, counsel, etc.
Judge Jenkins says: Il have been in
great de- bt whether it was not the duty
Of the court to direct the stock books To
be delivered to the company, but In
view of what has been said with respect
to reorganization of the company. and
of the prOpriety of preserving all the
records of the corporation in their en-
tirety, and of the confessed prcuniary
inability OF the company to employ
suitable agents to conduct the transfer
of the stock, l am 10th to deprive the
receivers of the possession and custody
OF any of the records"
He says the request fer compensation
for certain officers is novel and start
ling. He says the continued existence
of the corporation is essential to recov-
cry for the delinquencieS of its officers,
and III many other contingencies which
hi ght readily be suggested, but its con-
tinued existence is i'll the interest of its
stockholders, and not necessarily of its
bondholders.
And why should the court direct
diversion of the income of the road,
properly applicable TO the payment OF
the interest and principal of the mort
cages. to the maintenance of any organ
iZation which exists mainly. if not
wholly in the interests of the stock
hOIders?'
