jim HILL GETS IT.
Said He Has Secured Control
of the Northern Pacific
Railroad.
DEAL CLOSED IN EUROPE
BY Mr.. Hill Acquiring the Sec
ond Mortgage Bonds of
the Road.

ST. PAUL, May 16.-The Globe says:
James j. Hill is today the master and
manager of two of the greatest railway
systems in the world.
A telegram received at the First Ma
tional bank Wednesday crystallized
into fact the rumor that the Great
Northern magnate was abroad to con-
summate negotiations that should make
him master Of the Northern Pacific
railroad in addition to his own magnifi-
cent property, the Great Northern.
These negotiations have now been
brought to successful conclusion, and
while the exact details Of the transac-
ton cannot at present be more than
guessed at, the fact remains that Mr..
Hill
Has Secured Control
of the Northern Pacific by acquiring
the second mortgage bonds of the road.
This is supposed to- have been accom-
plished through the efforts of E. D.
Adams, chairman of an influential COM
mittee representing the interests of
certain bondholders. It is understood
also that Mr.. Adams has been in some
sense an agent of the Deutsche bank
and the Willard interests. This seems
altogether likely, from the fact that
Willard knows as we'll as any man liv-
ing the great advantage to be gained
by consolidation of the management
and interests Of these two great trans
continental arteries.
Tremendous Possibilities.
With control of the Northern Pacific
and it's lines and branches in the hands
of Mr.. Hill, and the Great Northern
virtually his own road, he will be in a
position to commandment alone COM
mand, but control-90 per cent Of the
business Of the entire Northwest. His
only competitors will be the Canadian
Pacific and its rather inadequate steam.
ship connections with Washington and
Oregon points, and the Union Pacific,
via the Oregon Short Line, and the
Southern Pacific from Portland.
The Union Pacific route is little to be
feared by Mr.. Hill, as he disabled that
some time ago when he secured control
of the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company's railroad lines from Portland
to Huntington, Or, and the company's
steamship lines to San Francisco.

GROSSLY IMPROPER.

Illinois Veterans Object to Defeating the

BLOOMINGTON, Ills, May 16.-An ex'

morning session of the G.. A. R., over
the proposition to dedicate on Decora-
ton day the Confederate monument at
lakewood cemetery, Chicago. There
seems no doubt the encampment will

TO PROTECT SEALS.
British Vessels VIII Be Sent to Patrol
Boring Sea.

British Vessels Will Be Sent to Patrol
Beriug Sea.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-1t can be
stated authoritatively that British ships
will be sent to Boring sea to patrol
against poachers and to use every ef-
fective means of carrying out the Paris
award and the British law based there
on. The instructions to the British
ships will not, however, direct the
seizure of vessels found with arms, but
will require other external evidence Of
sealing, such as the possession of skins,
presence of blood on the ship, etc., as a
basis of seizure. This will differ from
the instructions Of last year, which
made the open possession of arms
prima facie evidence.
