evident intention on the part of Great
Britain in the whole Ku Cheng affair
to get the United States government

Great Britain to land troops or to be

ment has granted the request of the
United States ambassador, James B.

the United States embassy to visit

the subject, and that nothing will be
left undone to arrive at the facts in
the case. The negotiations between
the two governments are said to be
proceeding in the most friendly spirit.

Grove, at that time, attempted to Dor.
row enough money to take him to

told Mr.. Foster he was in the train
robbing business.

now" he said. Cant you lend me
the price of ticket to Omaha?" Mr..

Receivers of the Northern Pa

Recent Decision Of Judge Han
ford the Direct Cause
Of the Act.
Getting Orders From Several
Courts More Than They
Can Stand.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 26.-Henry c.
Payne, Thomas f. Oakes and H. c.
Rouse, receivers of the Northern Pacific
road, have rendered their designations
toaudge Jenkins. Judge Jenkins will
take the matter under advisement and
will decide on Friday, the 27th.
The resignation gives a complete his
tory Of the appointment of the re-
ceivers and dwells upon subsequent liti-
cation. Reference is made to the at.
tack made upon the receivers by Presi.
dent Ives in the Washington courts.
The proceedings are set forth ard ex-
cerpts made from the opinions of Judges
Gilbert and Hanford. The receivers
then proceed:
"Your receivers manifestly cannot adj
minister the trust with justice to the
parties interested or themselves il sub
ject to the orders and instructions us to
the general administration from two or
more independent tribunals. We can
not abide, nor can we ask our sureties
to abide, the danger Of the differences
of opinion between courts, each assam
ing to be controlling as to the expendi-
lures cf the receivership in the general
administration, in view Of the immen-
sity Of the sums involved"
Object to the 100000 Bond.
The letter then states that while will.
ing to answer any charges which ere or
can be made against the receivers ad-
ministration the order of the United
States circuit court of the District Of
Washington ''renders it necessary for us
on or before the second day of October
next, not only to answer, plead or de-
mur to the charges there filed, but to
give within that jurisdiction each
bond of 800, 900 and to file in that court
full, just and true accounts Of receipts
and disbursements. Your receiy-
ers are not willing under any
circumstances to file an additional bond
i'll such jurisdiction, nor are they L.
ing 10 put themselves or their sureties
in position TO endanger their right to
challenge the jurisdiction Of that honor
able court. "
In conclusion the letter says that
road like the Northern Pacific can only
be administered, as it has been done,
through one single court. The receiv-
ers hope that the conflict of jurisdiction
and the appointment of separate sets OF
receivers, which will greatly increase
the expense Of the road and demoralize
the service, may be ave1ted
