SIGNED AT LAST.
The Decree, However, Gives Judge
Jenkins the Right to Make Any
Notifications He May See Fit.

MILWAUKEE,, April 2S.-The decree.
ordering the sale of the Northern Pa
cific railroad and all the properties OF
| the company was signed by Judge Jen-
kins in the United States court this
morning. The decree gives the court
the right to make any notifications ne
may see fit, both as to the terms ana
conditions of the sale ana as to the
distribution. The reservation of the
court gives the creditors of the North
ern Pacific outside of the bcndholdsrs
both in and out of the reorganization
agreement the right to come into court
at any time and apply for relief which
the court reserves for itself the right
to grant, especially reserving jurtsdic-
ton for this purpose.
Judge Jenkins also signed supple
mental decree which orders the sale of
lands west of the Missouri river and
which are held to be subject to lien
of the preferred stockholders. The land
is to be sold in parcels in North Da-
kota, Montana, Idaho and Washington.
The total Indebtedness from the lSSu-
ance of bonds alone by the company is
found by the decree to be S152, 1886, 155. IL.
This, however, does not include the is
suance of receivers certificates. the
collateral trust indenture bonds
amounting
the back interest on bonds amounting
to $44.051 800. which includes the gen.
era1 first mortgage bonds and those
issued under the mortgages on the Mis-
soula and the Pond de Oreille division.
The sale is to take place in West Su-
perior within sixty days unless Judge
Jenkins sees fit to interfere in the
meantime. Special Mastel Carey is to
sell the road in three parcels, covered
by the general second, the general third
and the consolidated mortga ges. The
general second mortgage is adjudged
to be a lien on the entire railroad prop
erty of the Minnesota line and subject
to the general first mortgage and the
Missoula and Pond de Oreille division
mortgages. The third mortgages cover
the property not covered by the gem
erai second and the consolidated mort
gage is secured mainly by stocks and
bonds.
For the first parcel the bid must not
be less than s10,000000, for the second
not less than S2,000,000 and for the third
parcel not less than 100000. A deposit
is to be exacted from all bidders.
The court reserves the right to set
the sale aside.
A special provision is inserted giving
the Farmers Loan and Trust COM
pany the right to bid If it desires. This
leads to the belief that the trust COM
pany will be the purchaser.
Ex-senator Spooner moved for an Or
der discharging the old receivers.
Messrs. Paine, Cakes and Rouse for
liability on the bond and asking that
their accounts be approved and their
compensation fixed. Mr.. Turned, of the
Farmers Loan and Trust company and
Colonel Petit, both said they had no

der and took the matter of compensa-
ton under consideration.

be made the lawyers will leave for the

FATE OF BULUWAY0.
FEELING OF ANXIETY CONCERNING
THE BESIEGED TOWN.
Circle of Fierce Warriors Said to BE
Drawing Closer, and the Line at
the Same Time Extended.

CAPETOWN, April 2S-(Copyright,
1896. by the Associated Press.)-The dis
patches which filtered through from
Buluwayo yesterday increased the
feeling of anxiety felt here regarding
the fate of the besieged town. Accord
ing to the latest advices, the circle of
fierce warriors behind the mound forth
fications had again been drawn closer
to BuluWayo, and at the same time eX-
tended
The Matabeles. when this news was
sent out from the endangered town,
had been further reinforced and an
other large body of men was leaving
the Matoppo hills, expecting to effect
a junction with the other bodies of
hostile natives and completely sur
round the place from all sides while
keeping south of the fortified pass
which is the key to the situation in
that direction.
In addition, another strong force of
llostiles has gone in the direction OF
the route being followed by the relief
corps, of about 600 men and nine ma
chine guns, advancing from Mafeking.
Consequently, it is believed that there
is severe work cut out for this force,
the advance guard of which, it was
hoped, would reach Mangwe about
May Z.
Another dispatch from Buluwayo
says that a coach, laden with arms and
ammunition, reached Buluwayo yester-
day from the south.
Earl Gray, one of the administrators
of the territory of the British charter
ed company, is expected to arrive ait
Buluwayo today with a strong escort
of troopers.
1t is now announced that Sekombi,
one Of Lobengula's leading chiefs was
among the killed during the fighting
near the Umguza river which followed
the second sortie of the British, when
about 500 natives were killed.
Late last evening it was reported
here that there had been further severe
fighting about Buluwayo and that the
Matabeles were defeated with great
loss.

CAPE TOWN, April 2S.-[Copyright
1896, by the Associated Press 1.-The
text of President Krueger's reply tx
the invitation of the British govern.
ment, through the secretary of state
for the colonies. Mr.. sJoseph Chamber
lain, to visit England and discuss mat
tiers connected with the Transvaal and
its future, is a volunlnous document
and plainly indicates the firm attitude
assumed by the Beer statesman.
The president begins by stating that
his visit TO England has always de-
pended upon the settlement of a basis
of discussion, and he regrets that the
basis has not yet been reached. Con-
tinuing, he says:
In a friendly spirit, but from the
very first, the government clearly saw
and recorded its opinion that
NO FOREIGN INTERFERENCE
in the internal affairs of the republic
could be allowed. Mr.. Chamberlain adj
raits the justice of this position, yet
he intimates that Great Britain desires
that particular international measures
be taken by the Transvaal. The letter
cannot allow to pass unnoticed the ex-
preston admitted grievances" and eX-
desire for q reconsideration OF the Lon
don convention, IN consequence of the
inroad of DIR. jameson, the position
should be assumed that in the discus
aion the so-styled
ADMITTED GRIEVANCES"
must be included as a sine quo non,
IN the event of a reconsideration of the
convention being agreed to.
Kruger adds that the South African
republic has always been prepared to
receive and consider, in a friendly
spirit, the private suggestions of the
imperial government, regarding the in
terest of British subjects, although it
has never admitted the existence of the
so-called admitted grievances" and
must deny on that account. that the
right exists 10 create rebellious move
ments.
1T appears to be wiser" he says,
not to press the question of my pro-
ceeding TO England any further at
present, but to leave it open, especi-
ally in view of the coming session of
the volgsraad and the desirability of
my presence during at least a portion
of the session, when important meas
ures are to be considered, is appar-
emit"
In regard to Mr.. Chamberlains pro-
posal to guarantee the Transvaal pro-
lection from outside attack in exchange
for a remedy Of the

President Kruger says:
Something is offered the South
African republic which lit already pos
sessed- as the obligations and relations
OF the South African republic to Great
Britain, recognized by international
law. precfuded an attack upon the in
dependence of the republic
In conclusion President Kruger says:
Under existing circumstances, the
South African republic will not, at
present, press a reconsideration of the
work Of the London convention and a
substitution for it of a treaty of amity
and commerce, but will rest satisfied
with pecuniary compensation and
with assurance that no violation of its

SUBMARINE SENTINEL.

The submarine sentinel is the
name of a new apparatus, which has
quite recently been experimental with
by the French navy. The final tests
were made in San Juan Bay by spe-
ciaI commission, consisting of Captain
Fort. commander of the French armor-
clad Magenta; Lieutenant Series, the
adjutant of Admiral Gervais, and
number of officers from the French
Mediterranean squadron. The appara-
tus, which was operated from the tor
pedO boat SarriZin, succeeded in eX-
ploding two automatic tOrpedoes which
had previously been placed in the chan
mel navigation, but without the knoWl-
edge of the commander of the Sarr1Zln.
The successful result of this official test
has been submitted to the French Min
lister of Marine, and the adoption OF the
submarine sentinel by the French navy
was strongly recommended by the COM
mission to the higher authorities. In
the report Captain Fort stated that it
was the only apparatus so far known
offering the advantage of being able to
clean the bottom of channels of hostile
waters from explosive distractions
placed therein by the enemy. Details
of the construction of the new appara-
tus are carefully withheld from the
public.
