Only Been Begun.
RECEIVERS OPPOSED TO HILL.
The Pearsall Suit Said TO Be Coliusive,
and Adams Reported TO Have Given
Up the Consolidation Scheme.

Tacoma. Sept. SIT is becoming appar-
ent that the greatest fight over the North
ern Pacific receivership matter is yet 10
come. IL will be begun either on October
or before that date. IL is considered quite
possible here that the receivers or the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company, as
trustee. viii spring some surprise at Mil
waukee or ST. Paul between now and Oc-
tober .. A prominent man in the councils
of the receivership party says that as
things now stand some highly interesting
complications are likely to ensue. Shortly
after the receivers were appointed Judge
Caldwell, of the Eighth circuit. directed
the receivers TO file their accounts with
Judge jenkins, his being the court of orig
inal jurisdiction. IL is claimed that Judge
Hanfor6's order regarding the fling Of the
accounts is in conflict with Judge Cald-
wells order at least so far as II affects
the accounts Of the property not within
Judge Hanford's jurisdiction. Compiled
tons are expected to ensue If Judge Han
ford, after the accounts are rendered,
takes any action at variance with the ac-
tons of the Eastern circuit courts. The
belief is also expressed that If Judge Han
ford Gusts the receivers and appoints new
ones the road will be in charge of several
sets of receivers; In other words, that the
Eastern circuit courts are at least as like
" to retain the present receivers as they
are to Gust them.
close 1rlenGS or the receivers here de-
clare that Messrs. Cakes Rouse and PAYNE
are all opposed 10 the proposed consolida-
ton of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern. They assert that President
Hills statements that the proposed Geal
is yet likely 10 be carried out express chief
ly his own wishes. and that the consolida-
ton plan has been practically given up by
the Adams committee. A prominent rail-
road man who has been here from ST. Paul
this week says the lawyers there are all
laughing at President Hilrs attempt TO Sc
cure through the Pearsan suit a Federal
court decision unfolding the legality of his
consolidation plan. Said he:
1T was very strange that this suit af-
fecung great railroad properties should
have been filed one day; that within three
days after some of the ablest lawyers in
Minnesota should have been ready to ar
que IL, submitting the case practically
within week after fling it. The expla-
nation is that Mr.. Hills attorneys had
been working on the case for weeks. Mr..
Hill had been told in New York that the
consolidation plan was Illegal, and he
wanted to take back a decision sustaining
his own position. | was informed that Mr.
Hill turned white with rage last Friday
