LOCAL RAILROAD NOTES.

President Sam Hill, of the Eastern
Minnesota, left last night over the Bur-
lington to join President ]. j. Hill, Of
the Great Northern, at New York.
General Passenger Agent Whitney,
of the Great Northern, was home for
the Fourth, but left again yesterday
morning for New York, to rejoin other
officials of the road.
All of the railroads reported yester-
day that the traffic of the Fourth was
simply immense, taxing the equipment
of the local lines to the utmost.
Max Bass, emigration agent of the
Great Northern, arrived in town in
time to celebrate the national holiday.
He brought with him party of twelve
Dunkards, who were on their way to
North Dakota, where they will take
up lands in the vicinity of Mayville,
The party was headed by Elder Trout,
of Illinois, prominent figure among
that sect.
The Eastern Minnesota yesterday
took out a large party for the steam
ship North Land, which left Duluth
last evening.
about so people under charge of Mr..
c. A. Cook, arrived last evening over
the Northern Pacific and are quar-
tererd at the Ryan. They will visit
st. Paul points of interest today.
most of the people are from the East,
anu nave Vfshteu California, AfdSka
and the Yellowstone Park and are now
on their return home.
There were number of North Da-
kota visitors at the Great Northern
general offices yesterday and all agreed
that the crop outlook at present is
very fattering indeed. The greatest
anxiety which now exists in that sec
ton of the Northwest is to secure men
enough to take care of the great yield
when the time for harvest arrives

FRESH WOE FOR EX-CONSUL
WALLER, IN PRISON NEAR
MARSEILLES.
ORDERS CABLED TO EUSTIS.
STATE DEPARTMENT EXER-
CISED OVER FRANCES DE-
LAY IN THE CASE.
NO RESPONSE TO OUR REQUEST.
Stepson Bray Much Alarmed Over
the Position of Affairs and
Lack of News.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Ex-Consul
Waller, who is in prison near Mar
settles, France, is i'll and without med
ical supplies, and the state depart
ment of this government has been
asked to interfere in his behalf to the
extent of either providing him with
necessary supplies or asking the gov
eminent of France to do 50. The news
of Mr.. Walters illness was brought
to this country through a letter to his
stepson, Paul H. Bray, who was
deported from Madagascar at the
same time that Mr.. Waller was sent
out under arrest by the French gov
eminent, and it is the first word that
has been received from Waller by his
son since he was separated from him
at Tamatave. Mr.. Bray took the. let
ter to Acting Secretary of State Uhl,
who telegraphed Minister Eustis, in
structing him to give immediate at
tehtion to Mr.. Walters representa-
tons, and to make careful inquiry as
tofIthe facts in the case. 1t is under
stood that the state department is not
pleased with the apparent delay on
the part of the French government
inlgiving attention to the request made
by this country for a full record Of
the proceedings in the Waller case,
and that Mr.. Eustis has been in
structed to call attention of the
French authorities to the delay and
to request prompt response to our re-
quest.
Bray is also much concerned con-
corning his mother, Mrs. Waller, from
whom he has received no word since
he left Madagascar, Notwithstanding
he has sent numerous letters to her.
Many of these letters have been sent
under cover to other persons and their
identity carefully concealed, but he
has received no word in reply SO that
he is unable to determine whether
both his own letters and those of his
mother have been intercepted, or only
her letters to him. In the former con-
tingency she is ignorant of his where
abouts and welfare as he is of her
condition

Deal n Black Eve,

Deal Il Black Eye.
NEW YORK, July 5.-There is much
confusion in Northern Pacific affairs
Some time must elapse before the sit
uation becomes clearer. John c. Bull
lit has withdrawn the Adams commit
tee and sold out all his holdings of
Northern Pacific securities. He is
now opposed to the Adams plan. The
importance Of the Adams committee
as a factor in Northern Pacific af-
fairs has declined because the
Deutsche Bank, which was the chief
constituent of that committee, and
other leading security holders in
Northern Pacific, have taken matters
to some extent into their own hands.
Northern Pacific matters are now
very much in the hands Of Mr.. Nor
gan, who accords some weight to the
protests against the plan proposed by
the Adams committee. President Hill
leaves for the West today, as his pres
ence is no longer essential. His posi-
ton in regard to Northern Pacific is
well understood and he will await de-
velopments.
AIr. Adams statement that the Min
nesota laws would stand in the way
of the proposed Great Northern and
Northern Pacific combination is
backed up by extracts from the Mime
sofa statutes. These extracts, which
are circulated in Wall street today,
are from sections 2714, ZIG and 2717.
Mr.. Hill insists that the guarantee of
the net earnings to the Northern Pa
cific and the practical management of
that road by the Great Northern are
possible under existing laws. He is
joined in this opinion by other lead
ing holders of Northern Pacific secur-
tiles. On the other hand, the point
is raised that the proposed combina-
ton would arouse the fiercest oppo-
sion from managers in Northwestern
states and might create hostilities in
congress itself,
Section 2714 in Wenzell's compila ton
states when railroads may be con-
solidated. 1t says: "Any railroad cor
poration, either domestic or foreign,
whether organized under a general
law or by virtue of a special charter,
may lease or purchase, or IN any way
become owner of or control, or hold
stock of, any other railroad corpora
tin, when their respective railroads
can be lawfully connected and operated
! together SO as to constitute one con-
tluuouS main me, With VI WITHOUT

Section ZIG and PIT are the ones that
Adams bases his statement on. They
| are as follows:

NEW. YORK. July 5.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say:
1.-THE midsummer reports from all
commercial centers are of special in
terest, covering the questions on
which the future of business de-
pends They indicate distinctly bet
ter crop prospects, a marked in
crease in retail distribution of pro-
ducts, an active demand for goods,
and a general enlargement of the
working force, with some advance in
the wages of more than half a mil
lion hands. At the same time they
show that the rapid advance in
prices has somewhat checked the
buying of a few classes of products.
In some parts of the country the
outlook for fall trade is considered
bright. Comparison of prices for
various iron products shows an adj
vance ranging from 1872 per cent,
since February, for wire nails, to II
per cent for anthracite pig, and in
all kinds averaging % per cent. The
demand and rise have come SO sud
denly that even while the first order
for shipments of steel billets to
Europe was given some time ago,
when prices were low, as before an
nounced, the price has advanced
from ST. in April to $22.25, or about
81 per cent.
WOOL AND WOLLENS.
wool is stronger, both here and
abroad, the London sales open
ing July at higher prices, and the
average for 104 qualities of domestic
wool quoted by Coates Brothers has
risen nearly half a cent since June
Is. Sales have been enormous, though
largely Speculative, but exceeding
those of May and June in any previ-
Gus year, being &c, ,613 domestic and
27,4S7, 100 foreign, against "a, 2S2, 400 do
mestic and 1863 $50 for 1892. There is
a growing recorder demand for heavy
weight woolenS, and many new kinds
of lightweights have been opened,
with notable irregularities in prices,
some lower and others higher than
last year. But the manufacture is
better sustained thus far than was

and the mills are generally we'll en-

''Specula ton has advanced cotton
3-16, though the crop news is favora-
bic, but has depressed wheat two cents
in spite of estimates that the yield
has been materially reduced since

are having less influence and the time
is ripe for the radical change in gov
eminent estimates which the depart
ment proposes. The year closed with
more than 100000 bales American cot
ton available here and abroad, and
with at least $1,000 600 bushels surplus
wheat, although some make the guam

long, two feet in diameter and cone
shaped. Two-thirds of the way down
there was slight rise in the incline
Here the barrel jumped thirty feet
in the air, striking the ground on end,
then rolling forty feet further down
the hill. Many persons turned their
heads with horror and some of the la
dies tainted. When the barrel was
opened Webb was damned in the end,
but was conscious. DR.. Russell, of
Spokane, examined him and pro-
nounced his spinal column broken.
He was taken to Spokane, where he

NEW YORK, July 5.-Henry c. Min

DAILY sold him the exclusive rights to
produce the play of Roger la Honte''

elusive right to produce it. DAILY S

ing Miner to furnish bill of particu-
