UNION PACIFIC
COMPLICATED LAW SUIT ABOUT TO
RE REGJIN

COMPLICATED LAW SUIT ABOUT TO
BE BEGUN.
San Francisco, Sept 3O.-The most far
reaching law suit ever tried in California
is ON the calendar of the United States
circuit court of appeals for the present
session. 1t is the struggle of the heavy
creditors of the. Union Pacific Railway
company and its 80 branches to have the
entire business of the great trunk line
thrown into common pool and admin
istered as a trust fund by the federal
courts. The allegations of the volum-
nous complaint against the receivers of
the combined companies are full of star
thing announcements and vital state
ments as to the failure of unrestrained
private control. The fight is really be-
tween the Farmers Loan and Trust COM
pany and the others against the Union
Pacific railway and it's branches.
Though the capital stock of the Union
Pacific company is alleged to be more
than $60,000,000, plaintiffs aver that it's
Indebtedness is so great and its misman-
agement so apparent that it's affairs
ought to be administered by the federal
courts. 1t is alleged that the govern
ment debts alone are sufficient to cause
the foreclosure of the franchise The fact
is reiterated with emphasis that the fall
ing off of the roads revenue is alarming,
reaching as much as $1,400,0O0 in two
months. The complaint recites that the
Union Pacific Railroad Company is not
able to earn operating expenses either
upon it's main line or it's branches.

Population of the State of Mime sofa
According to 1895
Census.
Substantial Gains, Although Not So
Heavy as Anticipated by
Many.

The official bulletin of the state census by
counties, were issued this morning from
the bureau. There are some heartaches re-
garding the ISSUE from all the morning pa
pers except the Pioneer Press, as that pa
per was in some manner able to obtain the
document last evening, and thus scored a
blue blooded scoop, on it's contemporaries
which will be long remembered. In this
case there was apparently nothing unfair,
as in the case of the Minneapolis announce
ment, as this was obtained full and exact,
whereas in the Minneapolis case, while the
department had pledged itself to issue to
all the evening papers alike. it nevertheless
permitted garbled statement to get out.
The totals fell little less than had been
anticipated, for semi-official figures had
leaked out that the totals would be on the
rising side of 100000 whereas it was on the
opposite side, being 1,573350. This is an in
crease of 271, 524 over $780, which is the larg
est five year increase since the formation of
the state, except that of 1880 to 1885, which
was 337, 900.
The slight falling down has been due to
the southern or strictly agricultural dis
tricts, not keeping pace with the increase
with the northern or timber and ore coun-
ties. The comparisons are best shown by
congressional districts, given below.

GRAIN MARKET
THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.


Today witnessed very active market.
Numerous efforts were made during the
session to break prices, but they were
only successful temporarily and the
close was at a gain of &c for the day.
December opened at 57Nc, sold up to
ooasc, down to 81, up to 57A, and fluctuat-
ed between 81 and 57Ac several times
until near the close when sharp upturn
took place carrying December prices up
to 5S5sc, and closing at 5SAc bid. The
trading was large and outside orders
market has been advancing for some
days now and a reaction is to be looked
for, but trade has broadened so that it
is hardly probable that prices will go as
low as they have before
Local stocks increased 1000 900 here
Duluth increases $4,000 and the visible
supply increases 1,3S3,000 blu, about the
same as last year, leaving the visible sup
ply still 30 million less than last year.
The worlds shipments for the week are
6,12s,OOO blu, a million less than the esti-

strong and higher early but lost part of
the advance before the close.

This year the Republicans east 3t,leo
more votes than the Democrats did when

and only lack 26,736 votes of having a

With a fair election in the South the
total Republican vote would have been
over 6.ee0.Oo0. and the Republican plural
