piquant discussion of alive and up-to-
date questions of interest. John Clark

Unusual interest attaches to the annu-
al convention of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church in the diocese of Vermont,
which meets at Montpelier June 10Th
and 20th, as it will be the first meeting
of Bishop Hall with the clergy and lay
representatives of the parishes of the
diocese, after full year of work together.
The fact, also, that deputies are to be
elected to the triennial general conven-
ton adds to the Importance of the COM
ing diocesan convention. The member
ship of the convention includes some So
clerical and 100 lay delegates.

General Coppingers Reports TO secre~
tary or War Lamont.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 3.-General
Coppinger, who had command of the
recent military expedition to the jack
son Hole country, today had a confer
ence with Secretary Lamont, to which
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs Brown
was invited. II do not consider that
the Indians were to blame for the Jack
son Hole affair."" said General Coppin-
ger, at the close of the conference.
'They are entirely quiet now and have
been. In fact they would not say boo
to a goose" One question which the
general brought to the attention of Sec
rotary Lamont and Commissioner
Browning was the advisability of an
nexing the Jackson Hole country to the
Yellowstone national park. He sug-
gested that this action would solve the
problem by preventing all parties from
hunting and fishing in that section and
said as the country was not densely
settled he thought there would be COM
paratively little difficulty in making the
change. Commissioner Browning said
that in the first place 1t would be a mat
ter for Secretary Smith and then for
congress, adding that he did not know
how the people of Wyoming could re-
gard it, as it would deprive that state
of territory.
General Coppingers report on the In
dian troubles has been turned over to
Secretary Lamont. The general de-
clined to say whether he had made any
recommendations for the continuance
of troops in the Jackson Hole country
or for the punishment for participants
in the trouble.

o. R. B. N. PEOPLE DISSATISFIED
Holders OF Common stock Dislike the
Plan of ReOrganization

Holders OF Common stock Dislike the
Plan OF Reorganization.
Omaha, Sept 1t is understood in
Omaha railroad circles that large inter-
ests in the common stock of Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company, being
dissatisfied with the proposed plan Of
reorganization, have recently been in
conference, and that proceedings have
been commenced to set aside the con-
templated plan. The stockholders
claim that the assessment of Sc a share,
as presented in the plan, would, with
the money in the hands of the receiv-
ers, provide a sum more than sufficient
to pay the arrearages of interest. Those
interested claim that they see no reason
why they should pay this assessment
and at the same time part with the
control of their property, in view of
the fact that under the plan of reorgan-
ization the preferred shareholders are
to control the ten seats in the board Of
directors against five of the common
shareholders.
Criticism is INDUCED in on the scorki
that the plan, as promulgated, contains
no statement of the results of the oper-
ations of the road during the period
of the receivership, nor any estimate
as to the safe earning capacity of the
line, matters of detail which they claim
are invariably set forth in plans of re-
organization.
