SEATTLE RAILROAD.
II appears that quite a. number OF
Richmond people, who are bondholders
In the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern
railroad, part OF the Northern Pacific
system, are deeply interested In a Joint
resolution. which has been favorably re-
ported by the judiciary Committee OF the
Senate, providing for a scheme OF reor-
ganization OF the latter road by the Nor
gan syndicate. The bonds of the Seattle
road are guaranteed by the Northern
Pacific, but II the joint resolution, az re-
ported, Is passed, the succeeding manage
ment Of that corporation will be at
liberty to ignore its obligations to the
Seattle road.
In view of this condition OF affairs. Re-
eiver-General John Fl. Bryant, of the
Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern road,
accompanied by Chairman Newton s.
Peyton, OF the bondholders' committee
and Senator Hin, OF New York. were
accorded a hearing before a sub-com-
mittee OF the Senate judiciary Commit
tee to-day. General Bryant made n
statement explanatory OF the guarantee
OF the Northern Pacific railroad on the
bonds Of his road. which amounts 20
$5.500,00O, sl,c00,0o0 OF which is held in
Richmond. and which, under the guaran-
tee OF the Northern Pacific. were sold
throughout the country and purchased
upon that guarantee. He said that, IL
the joint resolution. as IT stood. went
through. his road would be deprived OF
the equity Of the Northern Pacihc's en-
dorseTnent, and he wished the resolu-
tlon TO be so amended as to protect the
seven hundred and odd holders Of the
bonds of the Seattle road.
General Bryant's argument was sup
ported by Senator Hill and Chairman
Peyton. The subcommittee gave them
a respectful hearing, were impressed
with their arguments, and agreed u bring
the matter before the full committee
for consideration OF the joint resolu-
ton. Ii is more than probable now that
a proviso win be made for the perma-
nent protection of the bonds of the Sc
attic road
LAME, ALLAN, AND M'KINLEY.
1t is understood here tonight that
Judge Waddll and ex-Congressman
George BOwden were summoned here
by General Grosvenor (McKinley's man
ager) to consult over the factional war
between Lamb and Allan. 1t seems that
the Mckinley people do not WISH by any
means. to be placed In the attitude OF
supporting Allan and repudiating Lamb,
and Messrs. Waddill and Bowden were
plainly told that a halt would have TO
be called on the Allan circular and the
war that the latter is making on Lamb.
Reports from the Mckinley headquarters
are to the effect that they recognize
Colonel Lamb as the head OF the Re
publican party in Virginia and that
under no circumstances would they give
any countenance or encouragement TO
Allan's attack on Lamb.
REPUBLICAN RECONCILIATION.
1t is also said. on the other hand. that
a reconciliation has taken place between
fhaf fhk a
ceived a very touching letter from the
former a few days ago upon the occa-
sion Of a death In Allans family. and
that. regardless OF the action OF the
Mckinley managers, the war will cease,
the circular will be withdrawn, and
regular love-feast will take place at
Staunton. The brethren here are very
much exercised over this factional fight,
and they are gleeful tonight that 10 VIII
he settled before the selection of dele
gates TO ST. Louis.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Mr.. NJ. L. Witherspoon, OF Catawba
county, n. c., prominent lawyer and
a Populist, who is here, says, of recent
occurrences at Raleigh in regard TO
fusion that, If the policy indicated in
the published statements is carried out
the State will go Democratic, and the
opposition will be perfunctory and mean
iIgless.
