THB TWO SIDES
Legal Battle Over the Reorganization
Of the Northern Pacific
Road
IS AS YET IN SOME DOUBT
Dne Party Says President Ives Has
Won, Another that He Is
Defeated.

MILWAUKEE,, April 20. - Whatever
loubt there may have been as to the in
ention of Brayton Ives to keep faith
with the reorganization committee of the
Northern Pacific were dispelled today,
vhen an answer was filed to the suit of
| he Farmers Loan and Trust company,
oreclosure proceedings in the United
States court, by Ives, admitting all of
! he allegations of the complaint.
The answer that was filed has the dis
3inction of being the briefest document
t hat has been recorded in the proceed
pgs. It read as follows:
"And now comes the Northern Pacific
abroad company, defendant herein, by
Bilas w. Petit, it's solicitor, and for an
wer to bill of complaint herein, states
hat it is advised that all allegations
contained in the bill of complaint and
he several amended and supplemental
bills of complaint of the Farmers Loan
md Trust company are true and, there
ore, admits same"
The filing Of the answer and its ma
ure however, does not portray the de-
eat Of Ives, but means victory, the
erms of which no one will tell. 1t de-
Ielops that the committees were obliged
% make terms with Ives and that the
|hagnate took every precaution to see
that they were carried out. TO this end,
Two answers we're drawn, of an entirely
different nature, and both were ready
for filing in court at moments notice
and neither were to be filed until per
mission was given. From the nature of
the answer filed this morning, there is no
doubt the terms we're complied with.
(The second answer, it is understood,
Contained refutation of all the alleGa-
tions which are now admitted, supple
(nented with some charges that might
make racy reading, and exceedingly sen
fational.
All of the parties that have come into
POurt are now on record as agreeing to
Organization by accepting the decree

Bntly now no opposition to the reorgan-
)zation but, it is learned, that an effort,
Fentered in Philadelphia in the interests

portions as to make further concession
and moderations in the plan necessary.

blame.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The Spanish
government, within the next four weeks,
will put into execution comprehensive
system of home rule or autonomy for the

believe that the state department has
received from Madrid information to this
effect In any event, it is beyond ques-
tion that this important move is assured.

EAGLE AS AN EMBLEM. ancient
mythology the eagle was believed to
carry the souls of the dying to their
abode on Mount Olympus, and was
called the Bird of Jove. The eagle
was first taken as a symbol Of royal
power by the ancient Etruscans, who
bore its image upon their standards.
In the year 81 B. G. a silver eagle,
with expanded wings, poised on the
top of q spear, with a thunderbolt held
in it's claws was adopted as the military
standard to be borne at the head Of
their legions by the Romans. The
national standard of Prussia bears
black eagle, that of Poland . white
one. Napoleon I, took golden eagle
for his standard, modelled of pure gold,
and bearing thunderbolt after the
pattern of the Romano The standard
was disused under the Bourbons, but
was restored by a decree of Louis Ma
poleon in 1852. The eagle was first
used on American coins in 1888, on
cents and half-cents issued from the
Massachusetts mint. It was adopted
in the plan of q national coinage as q
design upon all gold coins, and on the
silver dollar, half-dolla-, and quarter
dollar. The design of an eagle was at
one time suggested for the national flag,
but was abandoned.

prominent homeopathic physicians.
Several days ago young woman
called at his office, and after discours-
ing on all the topics of interest of the
day, settled down to tell him her all
ments. Among other things she said
that she was greatly annoyed with a
sinking feeling. The physician pre-
pared little bottle of pills and gave
them to her, with minute directions as
to how they should be taken. The
woman again began to talk, and after
many vain efforts to get her out she
started for the door. She had just
opened it when she turned, and said:
"Oh, doctor, what shall I do if
these pills do not cure me?"
"Take the cork" he retorted ; "they
tell me that's good for sinking feel
ing :" and he called the next patient,

GOoD-HUMoRED CoURAGE.-There
resided in the valley of Virginia dur.
ing the Civil war a very worthy old
gentleman, who was a justice of the
peace, and distinguished for his de-
votion to the Confederate cause.
Through every hour of darkness OF
sunshine he held to the conviction
that the Confederacy could not fail ;
that it was founded on priciples as
solid as the bases of the eternal bills,
and must prevail. He was in the
habit of going to the post-oAice, a few
miles from his house, to get his mail
and hear the news from the war. On
such occasions the postmaster would
ask his opinion of the situation, and
have himself fortified by the old
squire's hopeful views. Finally, how
ever, about the close of the war, the
news became worse and worse, until
at last the intelligence of Lees surren-
der arrived: The sad tale having
been recited to the old patriot squire,
he took his seat and assumed a
thoughtful attitude. The postmaster
then began to interrogate him.
"Well, squire, things are looking

"What will become of US ?" inquiries
the postmaster "what shall we do ?"
"Well," says the old squire, after
drawing long breath, ~ don't see

Union, and if those Yankees don't
behave themselves, we must whip
them again."

If he could only know what happened

Perhaps the morning papers would give
