AN ANNUAL INSPECTION.
There Will Be No Withdrawal
of Trains, Says the
Magnate.
AS TO THE GOVERNMENT DEBT
1t Would Be a Very Easy Thing to
Settle From a Railroad
Point of View.

OMAHA, NEBR., Sept. 24.-Collis P.
Huntington, president of the Southern Pa
cifc, accompanied by Mrs. Huntington,
Miss Huntington. his niece Miss Cameron,
and private secretary, Mr.. Miles, arrived
in Omaha and left this afternoon for San
Francisco over the Union Pacific.
81 am going to California on my annual
tour of inspection of the system and also
for my regular visit, said Mr. Huntington.
Regarding the general condition of the
country, it is much hetter than it has been
for the last four or five years and l look
forward to several years of prosperity"
Mr.. Huntington was asked about the ru-
NOR that the Southern Pacific contem-
plated taking off its through connecting
trains with the Union Pacific at Ogden
at is doubtful if anything of this kind
will be done," remarked Mr.. Huntington.
"It was all news to me. and when l read it
in the Eastern papers l at once communi-
Gated with the traffic department. The
facts in the case and the foundation for the
rumors are that there was council held
when the advisability of taking off the
local trains between Ogden and Reno was
discussed. That is, one train each way q
day. The trains do not pay. in fact, they
lose money, and for this reason it was
thought best perhaps to discontinue them.
But it is doubtful if even this will be done
The relations between the Southern Pacific
and the Union Pacific are very friendly
and there will be nothing done so far as
the Southern Pacific is concerned to mar
them.
81 presume that Congress will take some
action in the matter of the Pacific roads,
that is the Southern and Union Pacific, at
the next session." continued Mr.. Hunting
ton. ''The settlement of the debt to the
Government is comparatively easy thing
to do. 1t was never expected that the
roads would pay the debt except by a per
cent of the earnings and service for the
Government. The Government built both
north and south of the Pacific roads, and
it granted to the Northern Pacific vast
tracts of land. These lands are of great
value. The Government must have known
that by building both north and south of
the Union and Central Pacific railroads
business would be drawn away from
them and that their earning capacity
would be decreased correspondingly."

found in possession. Rush was ordered to
appear before Judge Williams and show
cause why he should not be committed for
contempt in interfering with and dispos-
sessing receiver appointed by Federal
Judge. He claimed that there was no re-
ceiver for the Davidson Company, as the
suit on which so-called receiver had been
appointed was a money suit and the Judge
had no power to appoint such officer, there
being no suit in equity. Judge Williams
ruled that the court had no power to ap-
point receiver and therefore erred, and
that Mr.. Rush was legally in possession of
the Larned property.
The Judge said that when he appointed
him receiver of the Davidson Investment
Company there was quite a spirited con-
test for the place, and no one then raised
the point that he had no power in the
premises as receiver. Sims has sold and
transferred property valued at over $780,
000 Unless there is a subsequent ruling
protecting Sims acts as receiver the le-
sality of many important transactions
will be in doubt.

THREE RECEIVERS RESIGN,
Men Who Conduct the North
ern Pacific Road Want
to Retire.
Their Action Following Judge Jen-
kinS' Ruling VIII Cause
Sensation.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Sept. "a. The
three receivers of the Northern Pacific re-
signed their positions late this afternoon,
handing their designations to Judge Jen-
kins of the United States court. Judge
Jenkins Immediately announced that he
would set Friday. September 81, when the
designations will be acted upon. The re-
ceivers are Henry G. Payne of Milwaukee,
Thomas F. Oakes and H. G. Rouse of New
York. -,
The announcement of the designations
will create decided sensation, following
SO closely upon the heels of the action by
the United States court in Washington
and the more recent stand taken by Judge
Jenkins, which was calculated to question
the jurisdiction of the court In Wash
ington.
In this connection the physical condition
of Receiver Payne becomes interesting.
Mr.. Payne will leave tomorrow for New
York and Philadelphia to consult special
lists upon his condition. He has been ad-
vised by physicians to seek absolute rest
and may leave for Europe at no distant
day. This trip, however, depends on what
he learns from specialists regarding his
actual condition.
The receivers declare that they cannot
well serve two masters, and as the ques-
ton in regard to the jurisdiction of the
courts in Milwaukee and Washington has
not been decided, they prefer to resign
Furthermore. they desire to protect thel1
bondsmen from losses which a fight in the
courts might incur. 1t is learned that the
designations will be accepted Oh Friday.

WICHITA, KANs., Sept A.-Judge John
A. Williams of the United States District
Court has made decision in contemp pt

effects and may involve property rights to
