Attorneys for All Concerned
Agree to Have Two New

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 3O.-The resigna.
tons of the Northern Pacific receivers
have been accepted, and Judge Jenkins
will shortly appoint their successors or

The representatives Of the bondhold-
ers all urged the court to postpone &C.

for several weeks and thereby enable
the different parties interested in the
Northern Pacific railroad to get together
II tremendously agree upon some one
plan for the continuation of the admin
lstration of the property from one COM
mon head. In making this suggestion
they also expressed the hope that the
different courts Of the districts tray
ersed by the Northern Pacific railroad
might mutually agree as to which of
them is to have the general direction of
the receivers and Of the administration
OF the property as a unit, thus
Preserving the Integrity
of the Northern Pacific. The arguments
occupied several hours, and were listened
to by n of the largest assemblages of
lawyers ever seen in a court in Mil
waukee. Finally Judge Jenkins an.
nounced his decision. He went briefly
into the history Of the Northern Pacific
receivership, recalled the fact that the
primary jurisdiction of the court of
Milwaukee had been recognized for the
past two years by all the courts along
the Northern Pacific railroad, defined
the relation Of courts to one another
under such circumstances, speaking of

courts, and with the remark that he
would gladly wash his hands Of the

him to keep control Of the case, he an.

some agreement soon, and it is said to
be practically decided among them to
recognize the jurisdiction of one court,
that of Judge Jenkins, and to have one
receiver representing the interest of the
stockholders. Brayton Ives is already on
the way to Seattle and a general con-
ference with him is likely to take place.

Establishment of One.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. The estab-
1ishment of an American bank in Shang.
hal is strongly urged by Consul Gen.
eral Jernigan in a report to the state de.
partment. He says such an institution
would evidence the permanency of
American interests in China and would
aid in charging the United
States trade there. After comparing
the commerce of Europe and America
in China, the consul general asks:"Why
should Americans not dominate the
commerce of Asian lands and seas?''
He adds that there is every reason why
the business men of the United States,
by well directed effort, should secure
the banking supremacy in China.

This bird. although common in the

Is somewhat OF n migratory nature, never
being heard here during the wntr sea-
SON Its notes are heard only during the
night. and 10 Is then that IL seeks Its
food, catching moths. beetles, and other
insects as they hy. Its one song Is cl AR
and loud. and those unlccustomed to
hearing them, are frequently made very
uncomfortable when there are several
giving vent to their voices near at hand.
A PECULIARLY OF this bird is the regularity
with which IL returns TO It's old home.
An aged gentleman, who was very OBJ
servant, said that IL always made its
voice heard for the first time In the sea-
son on the sd of April. He did not say
when IL left, or where II went, but he
had observed the above-named fact for
many years. This year they were true to
the date. the first note heard hereabouts
being on the night Of that day. They are
seldom seen during the daytime.
