LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Daily News,
commenting on the Erie reorganization
plan, says it believes that If provision
is made that surplus earnings shall be
held in trust for the preservation of an
even cent coupon opposition to the
scheme will subside. AT any rate it is
all organized at present. The feeling
that stockholders should not be allow
ed to rank as the detested founders of
shares in modern companies have
ranked, that is for profits if obtainable,
but not for losses and liabilities, is the
real cause and ground for the opposi
ton. We are informed, says the
paper, that some such clause is likely
to be incorporated in the new bold if
found practicable. 1t is certainly de-
sirable.

Delegate to the Engineers Convention
Enjoy a Feast.
ST. PAUL, May 15.-Though very few
of the delegates Of the 3. l.. E., or Of
the G.. [. A., are stopping at the Hotel
Ryan, yet fully a thousand of them
enjoyed its hospitality. The reception
was glorious success. Seldom has d
larger assemblage gathered at this
hotel, or one more appreciative. At
1880 an elegant lunch was served and
the dancing, begun at $3.50, extended
long into the night.
The brotherhood convention at Market
hall had not been in session very long
before it took up the thread dropped on
Saturday, and went into committee of
the whole for the purpose of complet-
ing the investigation of affairs con-
nected with the Lehigh strike.
Getting at the Facts.
The committee of engineers officiating
during the strike is represented here,
and the committee of the whole is get
ting at the facts by questioning the
mem Ders Of the committee closely, but
thus far the testimony has not revealed
anything which might be construed as
being against the peace and dignity of
the brotherhood, and nothing of that
nature is anticipated. At 1890 the
committee arose, reported peogress, and
asked leave to sit again at 2:45, which
Was granted.

Specif1: Instructions From the War De-
partment.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Reports of a
disquieting nature were received DUR
ing the day by Attorney General Olney
respecting the lawless acts OF various
armies OF Coxeyites in the West in seiz-
ing trains and interfering with the
mails. The attorney general consulted
the secretary of WIZ and it Was decided
to adhere to the line Of policy pursued
last week in dealing with these cases..
While general instructions had been
sent to the military commanders in the
troubled districts to give all lawful and
necessary assistance to the officers of
the United States courts in depressing
these outrages, it was felt proper to
send specific instructions to General
Otis at Vancouver barracks and to Gen.
eral Brooks, commanding the depart
ment of the Platte, to take active steps
to he ad off the marauders in their dis
tricts, acting as auxiliary to the United
States marshals.

other commonwealers rushed upon him

greatest excitement prevails at Mont
peller, many citizens sympathizing with
the commonwealers, among them Con-
stable Dick Williams, who was arrested
The commonwealers attempted to re-
lease him but were cowed by three
dozen Winchesters in the hands OF dep
uties. A public meeting Of citizens
was held to confer with the opposing
forces, but the marshals could do moth
ing as their duty was imperative.

While it has been said the Pittsburg

be assured protection, it was not long
after the miners had arrived before it
became apparent that so far as the del

Not There to Compromise.
Secretary P. j. McBryde voiced the
sentiments Of good many delegates
when he answered a suggestion as to a
compromise.

here fora compromise, and thus far we
have no such word in our vocabulary

ment consider the effect Of settlement i1

DECIDED AGAINST M'KANE.

The Gravesend Boss Gets No Relief From
the Federal Courts.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The appeal Of
John Y. McKane to the United States
supreme court was decided against Nc
Kane, Justice Harlan delivering the
opinion.
McKane, in his appeal, contended
that he should have been allowed to 20
out on bail pending. the appeal, as the
constitution intended to confer that
right in all but capital cases. The JUS
tice held that the matter of bail in such
case was entirely within the jurisdic-
ton of the state court. Also that the
warden of Sing Sing prison had no right
to return McKane to the sheriff of New
York pending the apdeal, as the appeal
had no effect upon his imprisonment in
Sing Sing prison.
McKane Was overruled at every point
without a dissenting opinion from any
Of the justices.

THE BRASS GRAIN CASE.
North Dakota Elevator Law Held to Il
Constitutional.

North Dakota Elevator Law Held to Be
Constitutional.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The federal
supreme court handed down several
decisions Among them was the law of
North Dakota declaring grain elevators
public warehouses and imposing rates
of charges and penalties for over
charges. The plaintiff had offered grain,
offering to pay the rates fixed by the
state, and being refused, obtained a
mandamus compelling Brass, the ele-
vator owner and plaintiff in error, to
receive his grain at state rates. Justice
Shiras delivered the opinion, sustaining
the North Dakota courts.
Dissenting Opinions
Justice Brewer dissented, contending
the evidence showed that only in light
grain years did Brass receive grain from
others, and that this did not make him
public warehouse keeper. During the
year in question, Brass needed all the
capacity of his elevator for his private
purposes, so that the state was attempt
ing to force him to do public business.
Justice Brewer dissented also because
the law compelled elevator keepers to
insure the grain taken in charge by
them. Justices Field, Miller and Jack
son concurred in the dissenting opinion,

FAVORED THE MEN
A Decision by the Arbitration
Committee in the Great North
ern Trouble.
EMPLOYEES DEMANDS GRANTED.
Old Men to Be Reinstated Unless
Proven Guilty of Some Mis-
demeanOr.

ST.. PAUL, May 15.-The arbitration
committee of St. Paul I'D Minneapolis
business men who were instrumental in
settling the strike on the Great North
ern held lengthy meeting yesterday
and handed in report which practi-
cally comedies every demand of the
men. In relation to the discharge Of
employees connected with the former
strike the committee report says:
AS to article 5, it was agreed between
Mr.. Hill and MIR. DeCs that all the en-
ployes of the company might return to
their proper employment without pre-
JUDGE for having taken part in the
strike, except those men who had mali
ciously injured or destroyed the COM
pany's property, or were in the hands Of
the law; as no other exceptions were
made, this committee is Of opinion that
the men who abandoned their trains
between stations, as claimed, however
reprehensible such conduct may have
been, have right to lie restored to the
Employment of the Company
under the terms of the agreement. The
committees Interpretation OF the mean
ing of the term, ''Those in the hands of
the law" was, and now is, that the men
now in the hands Of the law, if found
guilty, should not be employed by the
company in the future, but pending the
determination Of their cases they should
not be excluded from employment by
the company because OF the charges
brought against them.
In connection with this matter, We
wish tC refer to the mutual agreement
and understanding, in a broad sense,
between Mr.. Debs, as representing the
employees Of the Great Northern road,
aud Mr.. Hill for the company, that, as
the business Of the company warrants,
all the old employees of the Great North
ern road would return in good faith and
give to the company their best efforts in
the discharge of their duties. The
Great Northern, on the other hand,
should not employ any new men so long
as there are sufficient number of their
old employees to properly conduct the
business OF the company.
The report is signed by B. F. Nelson,
Richards Gordon, F. c.. Winston, T. L.
Schurmeier, James T. Wyman, Charles
2. Noyes, George r. Finch, D. H.
Moon and Frank r. Hubachek.
President Hill of the Great Northern
and committee of the employees were
present at the rooms of the jobbers
union during the session Of the commit
tee and were called on to explain their
construction of the agreement.

NATIONS At OUTS.

The Brazilian Government Sewers Diplo-
matte Relations With Portugal.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Senor Men
donca, Brazilian minister has received
the following cablegram from his
government:
The president of the republic has
suspended diplomatic relations with
Portugal, giving passports to Count
Parraty and the personnel of the lega-
ton in Brazil, and ordered the Brazil
ian legation in Lisbon to withdraw.
Cause Of the Interruption.
This interruption of diplomatic rela-
tons is the direct result of the naval
commanders in Brazil in affording
asylum to the Brazilian rebels. When
Da Cana abandoned his fleet in harbor
March Is, last, he took his followers
aboard the Portuguese men of war
Mindello, and Alfonso de Albuquerque,
where they were shell tered.
May or May Not Mean War.
A rupture of diplomatic relations is
sometimes tantamount to a declaration
of war, but it is scarcely thought to be
SO serious in this case. It is difficult to
see how the Portuguese government can
conciliate Brazil, although this might
be accomrli shed by the surrender of
Admiral da Cana, who is reported to
be en- route to Portugal, and ample
apology. Portuguese pride, historical
in its obstinacy, will probably stand in
the way of any such concessions, and it
is more than probable that the two ma
tons will continue to stand in an un-
friendly attitude towards each other
until time molli6es the outraged feel
ings of the BraZilians.

were thrown out the workmen had to
run for their lives. The we'll is esti-

rick was burned to the ground. The
