CONTROL THE N. P.
Said That Henry Willard Is to
Resume Management of
That Road.
THE RUMOR NOT CONFIRMED.
Receiver Payne Declares He
Knows Nothing of Such
a Scheme.

ST, PAUL, April 25.-The statement
is made here that Henry Willard is
again to secure control of the Northern
Pacific. 1t is openly stated in this con-
nection that the deal has been COM
pleted and that the famous financier
has come to this country for the pur-
pose OF making arrangements to wind
up the receivership and assume the di-
rection of the property.
This, it is said, has been accom-
plshed through the efforts of the
Deutsche bank of Berlin, which has
been Wizards backer ever since his
connection with the Northern Pacific
began. Twice has he enjoyed control
OF the road, once at it's beginning and
once later. Each time, it seems, he has
had the American stockholders to con-
tend with in his efforts to look after
the interests Of the bondholders, who
are represented by the Deutsche bank.
The stockholders have invariably car
ried the day, for the time being at
least, and Willard has been ousted from
power. The last time, however the
ousting was followed in no very great
length of time by the receiverShip. so
that the stockholders did not gain any
great benefit from the process, and if
the story be true that Willard is coming
back to his old kingdom the stockhold-
ers will get decidedly the worst of it in
a game of freezeout, which will chill
everybody but Willard and the interests
he represents. The plan of reorganiza-
tion will make interesting reading, and
so will the comments of those who con.
Quoted the fight against him.

LIKELY,
Attorney Erwin Says Another
Big Railroad Strike Is
Imminent.
COMPLAINING OF HARD TIMES.
Officials Say Wages Must Be
Cut if Business Don't
Improve.

ST. PAUL, April 25.-'.No mortal
tongue can tell, was the reply made
by prominent railroad official when
asked if a recurrence of railroad strikes
is likely to come this summer The
companies, as we'll Rs che laborer who
have places, are hopeful that such dis
aster will not come again, but there is
fear of it from both quarters. w. w.
Erwin is probably, as he claims, in a
position to know the feeling of the rail
road employees. He is in close touch
with Debs, and through him with what
is going on in the A. R. U. This gen.
tleman is Of the opinion that fight is
brewing between railroad operators and
employees that will put all past strikes
in the shade. Debs has been active
during the winter organizing the A. R.
U. He has spent months in the West,
going clear to the coast. The work of
organization is also being prosecuted in
the East. Aside from this, there is
Cr' wing on the Part of the Outs
for revenge, and they would not be ad-
verse to general strike. The engin-
eers' and firemen's associations are hav-
ing trouble also, and are reaping some
of the results Of refusing to help the A.
r. u. out All the railroads are COM
planning of hard times and saying that
they hope it will not be necessary to cut
wages Judge Chandler of the Mil
waukee system says that if times
don't improve, SO that railroads can
do more business, his road Will either
have to 20 into bankruptcy or cut
wages. Il sincerely hope we will not
have to cut wages" he added. The
same complaint of hard times is being
made by all the roads. Representa-
tives of several roads have stated that
any additional burdens that should be
heaped upon railroads by legislation
would result in reduction of wages.
This was common statement before
committees of the Legislature during the

WARSH|PS ARRIVE
British Men-of-War at Nicar-
aqua Prepared to En-
force Demands.
MATTERS REACHING A CLIMAX.
Nicaragua Likely to Offer a
Passive Resistance
For a Time.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Nicar-
cablegram from his government an
nouncing the arrival at Corinto, Mic
aragua, of two British warships, with
the expressed purpose of enforcing the
demands contained in the British ulti-
matum. Just how this is to be done
indications are now that Nicaragua will
offer passive resistance to the British
demands, for some time at least, and
meanwhile the United States will do
nothing but await the development of
events, unless the British take some ac-
ton that affects our purely selfish inter-
ests, such as interfering with our ship
ping or other interests of American
citizens. This attitude is assumed in
the full confidence that no attempt will
be made by the British to secure any
Nicaraguan Territory,
no matter what course she may be
obliged to pursue to accomplish her
purpose of collecting the smart
money" demanded for the expulsion Of
Vice Consul Hatch. There is reason to
believe that not only the Nicaraguan
affair, but the whole subject of the ex-
tent of the protection to be extended by
the United States to the sister republics
of Central and South America has been
very earnestly and deliberately dis
cussed by the president and his full
cabinet, and the attitude as assumed in
the case of Nicaragua may be taken as
an indication of the line of policy to be
adopted for the treatment Of all ques-
tions arising between the European
powers and these republics having such
a basis as the present Nicaraguan Incl
dent
Approaching a Climax.
LONDON, April 24.-The Chronicle
says that the dispatch of British men,
of-war to Corinto shows that the Mica
raguan affair is approaching climax.
Nicaragua obviously relies upon Ameri-
can sympathy, but surely, if America
takes these small communities under
her wing she must see that they main
tain international observances. The
Monroe doctrine is proper enough in its
way, but it will hardly prevent Euro
pean power, which is not desirous of
territorial aggrandizement, from exact
ing reparation for insult and outrage.

by this time in a much more prosperous

Debs and his associates writ Of habeas

that this was merely his personal opin-

terms that he had no information con-
cerning the views of members of the
supreme court on the case, and had
written solely on belief and not on in
formation. At the court it was said

have come to the conclusion, with the
exception of Rev. DR.. Mcleod, the Pro

hibition ON the various provinces of the
Dominion would be to wipe very large
and important manufacturing business
out Investigations in Kansas, Iowa
and Maine lead them to believe that
the prohibition Of the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants could not be enforced
in Canada any more than in these
