NEW YORK, March 23.-The Com.
mercial and Financial Chronicle speak
ing of the Northern Pacific reorganiza-
tion says, under authority of Chairman
Adams of the reorganization COM
mittee:
While the carrying out of the pro-
posed organization will mean much to
the security holders of the Northern
Pacific, it will mean hardly less to the
communities which the system serves.
1t may be taken for granted that local
sentiment will be favorable to the re-
organized country since the road is to be
maintained as separate system. By
improving the property, moreover, it
will be placed i'll better position to
meet the requirements of the various
sections traversed by the road. Fur.
thermore the reorganizers propose to
spend large amounts Immediately for
such improvements, and this will have
a marked effect in stimulating trade in
the Northwest. Finally, it is the in
tention to pursue vigorous policy in
the development of the territory tribu-
tary to the road by promoting settle
ment on the company's extensive land
grants.

WASHINGTON, March s3..-The out
look as to the proceedings in the senate
for the present week is not very clear.
Nothing is certain except that Senator
Sherman and others Of the supporters
of the Cuban resolutions will attempt
to force them to a finality. Whether
they will succeed in this will depend
upon various considerations, the most
important of which is the question as
to whether the legislative, executive
and Judicial appropriation bill shall be
pressed in advance Of the Cuban debate
by the committee on appropriations.
Among those who still desire to speak
on the resolutions are Senators White,
Villas, Palmer, Platt and Turpie. Sen.
ator Mills may also be heard on the
pro- Cuban side of the question.

LONDON, March 28. The Standard

The French ambassador, Baron de
Courcel, had long interview with
Lord Salisbury at the latter's residence
on Sunday. The conference is sup
posed to have dealt with the subject of
the Nile expedition. An official visit
by an ambassador on Sunday to the
private residence Of the prime minister
of foreign affairs is an unusual occur
renee, and this leads to the supposition
that the subject of Baron de Courcel's s
call was an important one.

Minneapolis Lumber Mills Decide to

MINNEAPOLIS, March est has been
decided to reduce the output of the
Minneapolis mills 20 per cent. Last
years cut was 4SO, 900, 900 feet. A re-
duction of % per cent means that this
years cut will be only 10000, 900,
which will be by far the lowest output
since 1890, when the figures were 343,
0o0 600. The mills begin saving as
soon as the logs arrive and they will
run rs late in the fall as possible, but
there will be no night work, and those
mills which have formerly run only in
the daytime will not run at full Ca
pacity. The mills will thus have to
face large surplus of logs, for this
years log cut is only $4,000, 600 feet
less than it was last year. The force
of employees will be 1900 less than
usual.

STRUCKASUNKEN SPlLE.
Schooner Charity Fills With Water and
Puts Back to Portland for Repairs.

On Wednesday afternoon the coasting
schooner Charity, Captain Magee, be-
longing in Belfast, took on board load
of grain at the Grand Trunk elevator
and started for her hailing port late in
the afternoon. When off Half Way Rock
Is was discovered that the Charity had
four inches of water in her hold, and was
making water fast. The Grew manned
the pumps and headed the vessel back to
Portland. She arrived here in the middle
of the night and to saveIher from sinking
her captain ran her upon the fats where
she now lies. Captain Magee thinks that
his schooner must have ran upon a
sunken pile at the dock when she was
pulling out into the stream and stove a
hole in her bottom. The grain in the
Charity will prove partial. loss, and all
of it has been greatly damaged. The
cargo was consigned to Kensell & Tabor
of Belfast. The Charity will probably
go on to the Marine railway for repairs
after her cargo is removed.
