A FORECLOSURE SALE
Decree in Northern Pacific
Case Will Be Signed.
DIFFERENT INTERESTS AGREED
inc sale Will Take Place At West
Superior at = Date Yet to
Be Fixed.

Milwaukee, April 29.-The decree
OF sale Of the Northern Pacific railroad
under the consolidated mortgage of the
Farmers Loan & Trust Company, has
been decided on, and will be signed by
Judge Jenkins, Of the United States
circuit court, in few days, as soon as
it is printed. Special Master Alfred
Carey will conduct the sale and arrange
the preliminaries as rapidly as possible.
All the different interests have agreed
to the decree. The matter was set.
tied in the United States circuit court
this evening. The sale is to take place
at West Superior, Wis. at such time
as shall be fixed by the special master.
The Northern Pacific road will be
given ten days in which to pay the
claims against it, but there is no ex-
pectation that this will be DONE The
property is to be sold in three parcels,
for which separate bids are to be made,
which must aggregate not less than
$12, $780, 900.
The Receivership Matter.
Milwaukee, April ga stipulation
in the Northern Pacific receivership
matter was agreed to late this after
noon and signed by all the parties and
approved by the court. 1t in effect
sanctions all the payments that have
been made by the receivers The
necessity for an accounting between
the receivers Of the two courts is done
away with, and their disposal of the
moneys is not to be further inquired
into, beyond the usual inspection of
Master Carey. The stipulation states
that, owing to the expectancy that
decree of sale is about to be made, it is
desirable to avoid the expense and the
difficulty attendant upon separation
of the funds, 50 that all payments made
and to be made are approved. The
parties to the stipulation, however,
may Withdraw at any time.
Notwithstanding the apparent unan.
unity of all the factions, there is de-
cided objection to the decree at this
time, and in place of getting through
with it and securing the signature Of
the court in few hours, it promises
to be number of days before the mat
ter is satisfactorily arranged. Judge
Jenkins evidenced opposition to the
course adopted by the attorneys, and is
apparently determined to thoroughly
dissect the proposed decree, having or;
dered that it be gone over section by
setcion.

Mayor Imprisoned by Women.
st. Joseph, Mich, April 30.-Forty
women, who are leading members of
local clubs and church societies, have
made a captive of Mayor John v.
Sterr. They caught him on the street,
and, dragging him into private resi-
dence, demanded that he cooperate
with them in a movement of reform
The women cried that the laws were
not being enforced; that the sale of
cigarettes was carried on with impun-
ity; that young girls were being en-
ticed away, and that the saloon regula-
tions were loose, and boys of all ages
were given liquor upon asking. For
two hours tue mayor was kept pris-
oner, and not until he promised to
submit and use the executive power of
the city was he allowed to escape. The
! women demanded the adoption of a
curfew bell, upon ringing of which
children of certain ages must retire
from the streets. The city is consider
ably torn up over the determined stand
taken by the women, and the effect of
their interview with the mayor is free

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. at is
the expectation OF the Republican mem-
bers OF the finance committee that the
tariff bill be reported from the commit-
tee tomorrow. It is not believed that
the bill will be amended, but will be re-
ported as 1t camc from the house.
This expectation is based upon the
belief that now that the silver bond
bill has been disposed of by the senate
Senator Jones, OF Nevada, will no longer
insist upon holding the tariff bill in
committee. lie has not, SO far as can
be learned, given his assent in explicit
terms, and when spoken to on the sub
ject he said that he had not yet def
nitely decided upon course Of action.
The committee agreed at his request
at the meeting held on Tuesday of last
week, to allow the tariff question to so
over until to-morrow's meeting, n0t-
withstnnding the Republican members
were anxious at that time to secure Il
report, even though II should be adverse
to the bill.
Mr.. Jones did not then say in so many
words that he would agree to report
at the next meeting, but the committee
understood that to be an implied condl-
dition. II Is possible that the Nevada
senator vii not be present tomorrow.

little as TO the uature OF the report. 80

ITO the Congress:
In my last annual message allusion
