Northern Pacific Had No Authority TO
Issue Certain Mortgages.
MILWAUKEE, March 4.-The biggest
sensation that has yet developed in the
Northern Pacific receivership was pre-
cipitated by the filing Of the pleas by
the Wisconsin Central Railroad COM
pany to the original, amended and sup
elemental bills of the Farmers Loan
ind Trust company, on which the re-
ceivership is based. The companies
make tho claim that the Northern Pa
cific company had no authority
whatever to issue any Of the numerous
mortgages with which the road is en-
numbered and that in consequence, all
of the bonds issued under the mort.
cages to the amout of nearly $50, 900, 900
are null and void.
1t is olaimpd that the Northern Pa
cific was prohibited by congress from
making or executing mortgages OH its
properties. unless on the express con.
sent of congress. This, IL is claimed,
the company has never secured, except
in one instance, and in that the lien
created was long since satisfied.

Speculation Regarding the House Cuban

Speculation Regarding the House Cuban
Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, March lowing to an
error of technical parliamentary
character the house had to retrace some
of its steps in order that the resolutions
it adopted might be before the senate
in the status Of substitute for the sem
ate resolutions. Senator Sherman,
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations, after the corrected
version of the house Cuban resolutions
were received by the senate, said the
committee would hold meeting at
once for the purpose of considering
what course should be recommended to
the senate. The senate can pursue
either of three lines Of policy. 1t can
disagree to the house substitute and
send it back without asking q confer.
ence; it can disagree and ask for con-
ference, or it ci.sf y.
Accept the House Resolutions
as q. substitute If accepted, this ac.
ton will dispose Of the entire question
30 far as congress is concerned. Sena.
tor Sherman declined to express an
opinion as to the probabilities, as did
others of the committee, saying there
had been no opportunity for confer.
ence. The indications, so far as there
are any, appear to favor non-concur'
renee with request for a conference.
Senator Frye of the committee said,
however, that he would be willing &c
accept the house amendment and thus
close the matter. He expressed the
opinion that there was no material diff.
ference between the declarations Of the
two houses, and that one would serve
the purpose as well as the other.

MYSTERY OF A MURDER.
Peculiar story of SOmnambuIism and
the Dilemma of the Narrator.
From the washington Star.

From the washington star.
A Star writer is in receipt of letter.
duly stamped. bearing the postmark of
Eden, ILL.,, dated Dec. IS, written on a
typewriter and unsigned. Evidently the
writer of the letter knows the Star wri-
ter, as the letter will show, but the Star
writer is absolutely at a loss to deter
mine who the letter writer is. Neither
is he sure that the letter was written by
a person in Eden, H., inasmuch as it
is easy to mail letter at any point, how
ever remote the writer may be from the
point In any event the Star writer will
give the letter for what it is worth and
let it go at that. Is is as follows:
MY Dear Friend-You will no doubt be
surprised to receive this letter, and you
will no doubt wonder from whom it comes
and why l should have written it to you;
but there are reasons why l should write
as / do, and l think the writing of il may
be of assistance to me in extricating me
from painful dilemma. The facts in the
case are as herein stated.

ner, young man of unusual ability and
character, and associated with me
as friend and partner for seven years,

for the firm. He remained there a week
or ten days, attending to the matter so

town, which at the time was full of
guests, owing to an influx of visitors at
tending a fair Or convention, or some-
thing of the kind, and on the third night
of his stay man was murdered in his
bed in a room on the third floor nv
partner occupying a room on the floor
below
'.The murdered man had evidently been
smothered to death or choked, and ap-
parentlyl for the purpose of robbery, for
nothing of value was found in the room
The door of the room was unlocked. but ii
was evident that the murderer had come
in through a window opening on to a

distance of only a few feet, as the hotel
was situated on sloping ground. The
night was warm and the window was
up. thus inviting the marauder to his ugly
