b. AND O!s PREFERRED STOCK.
An Answer Filed to the John Hop
ISin's Suit.

Baltimore Oct SO.-The Mercantile
Trust Company to-day filed in the United
States court an answer to the suit of Johns
Hopkins University, against the receivers
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
others to recover six per cent. dividends
on the preferred stock of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, held by the
university. The answer is very bulky,
covering 100 typewriter pages. 1t gives
a full financial story of the Baltimore and
Ohio corporation from the time of it's char
ter in 1895, to the present time.
It claims that the university is not en-
titled to dividends on its preferred stock,
until the outstanding obligations of the
company are paid. 1t asserts that the act
of 1885, under which the state holding of
preferred stock was issued, did not take
from the hands of the officers of the COM
pany the power to pledge the property or
the company when such became necessary
in the conduct of it's business.
Such property was actually pledged or
mortgaged, and until these claims are sat
isfed the stock hold by the Johns Hopkins
University cannot receive preference in
the payment of dividends. Particular
stress is laid on the fact there are no
profits out of which to pay dividends.

New York, Oct SO.-Relative TO the
statement from Baltimore that the Ryan
syndicate had obtained additional time in
which to complete the agreement involv,
ing the purchase of the control Of the Sea-
board Air Line system, an evening paper
prints the followingI "A high authority
Of Seaboard Air Line matters said to-.

negotiations for the change in ownership
of the control in the Seaboard Air Line
The ownership of 5000 shares of the Sea-
board and Roanoke railroad Will be trans
ferred to Mr. Ryan on or before Nov. is
next. contract now binds the pool
headed by Louis McLane Of Baltimore
to deliver the stock at 125 and there has
never been any question of the money.
Mr.. Ryan has until Nov. 10 TO take over
the stock, and so far as the money Is con-
cerned, 1t was provided for over a week
ago. When the contract was made forty
days were allowed TO close the deal, and
this expires on Nov. is.
"The question Of money has never once
entered into the affair and the reports
circulated OF alleged bitches are the re-
suits of the efforts OF other parties who
want the Seaboard Air Line and who are
doing all in their power to break the
contract which the McLane pool has con-
summated with Mr.. Ryan. The control
of the Seaboard will pass into Mr.. Ryan's
hands before Nov. is.
ION the same authority the statement
is made that Mr.. Ryan has acquired tho
control OF the road for himself, and in tile
purchase of the property he stands alone.
Neither the Southern rallway,l nor any
other road Is interested IN the transac-
ton. His policy win be one OF peace,
but he means business, and the traffic
capabilities Of the road will be developed
to their fullest extent. Just who will be
associated with Mr.. Ryan in the owner
ship Of the seaboard is not known. When
It passes into his control he will con-
troll two-thirds Of the stock, and he will
devote his personal attention TO its man
agement and development"

ExILEs SENT TO FERNANDO 20.
A Total of $50 Men DepOrtde From
Cuba Yesterday.

Havana, Oct. SO.-one hundred and
eighty men, including Senor Escobar, edi-
tor of the suspended newspaper La Dis
cusion, DR.. Montalvo and Juan Onagh-
ten, a well-known planter, were to-day
deported to the Island of Fernado Po. OF
the west coast of Africa, where Spaia
maintains a penal colony. Most of the
deported men are negroes who belonged
to a secret society of rowdies known as
Nanigos This society had been in exist
ence for a number of years, and its OBJ
jects appeared to be robbery and black
mail. Senores Escobar, Montalvo and
Onaghten were deported because of politi-
cal offenses.
Estabana Sespedes, a naturalized Amer
lean, was among the prisoners who were
to be deported, but owing to the interven-
tion of the American consul general the
authorities decided that instead of send
ing him to penal servitude he should be
expelled from the island on the first
steamer leaving Havana for the United
States

SAVANNAH NOT TO BE sHELvED.
The Fight Against Discrimination
i'm Rates to BE a Hot One.


Atlanta, Ca, Oct. SO-The complaint
made by Capt. D. G. Purse of the Savan-
nah freight bureau against the Albany
and Northern, the Georgia Southern and
Florida and the Georgia railroad for all
legged secret rate cutting on cotton to the
detriment Of the port of Savannah, be-
fore the state railroad commission. has
assumed proportions that makes it one of
the most important questions that has
ever been brought before the commits
sion.
AS originally made the substance of the
complaint is well known to the readers
of the Morning News. 1t was alleged
that the lines mentioned had been giving
secret rebates to favored ports as against
Savannah principally, Charleston and
Norfolk. The effect of this was that
cotton could be laid down in Liverpool
via these favored ports at a much less
cost per bale than through Savannah,
although the haul from the interior
to Savannah might be shorter than the
haul to either of the other ports.
To-day, when the case was called for
hearing, the three roads filed answers
to the charges, denying them in terms,
but the Georgia road was not ready to
have the hearing proceed to an issue
and a further postponement was granted
until Nov. IL.
Since the complaint was made against
the Albany and Northern, the Georgia and
the Georgia Southern and Florida facts
have come to light which has resulted
in making the Seaboard line and the
Southern railway parties to the same kind
of complaint, and the indications are
that before the matter is brought to a
conclusion the railroad commission will
have to deal with a far reaching issue.
Capt. Purse. as the representative of
the Savannah Freight Bureau, has en-
ployed Hon. w. c. Glenn of this city to
act as the legal representative of the bu-
reau in conducting the investigation, and
to-day Col. Glenn had the Seaboard and
Southern served with notice to appear
before the commission. The commission
is called upon to make a searching inves-
tigation, and see if it is not a fact THAI
the railroads are making a ruinous dis
elimination against the port of Savannah,
as the facts in the possession of Capt.
Purse appear to show, and If so, then the
commission will be asked to lay the mat
ter before the interstate commerce COM
mission, as the Determination as alleged
involves interstate shipments. So far as
the state of Georgia is concerned, the
commission is asked to order a general re
duction of the rates on cotton and com.
pei a uniform application
Capt. Purse-sstated TODAY thakuethe
Louisville and Nashville and the West
ern and Atlantic would be made parties
10 the complaint, also, which invoIres
every section of the state and broadens
the fight for the reduction of cotton rates
SO that it is not longer merely a question
of discrimination against Savannah.

a fine OF 5000 on the Dauntless for vio-
iating the navigation laws by being at

paid she would be. He said that there

Chicago. Oct. 9O.-Chairman Jones. of
the democratic national committee, denies
the report cabled to the London Chronicle
yesterday, that he admitted that McKin-
ley would carry Illinois. "I never admit

Illinois in order to be elected President
but the report that I concede this state
to Mckinley is absolutely untrue. / be-
lieve Bryan will carry Illinois"
Washington, Oct. 30-The following tel
egram received at democratic headquarters
here from National Chairman Jones is
self-explanatory:
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 30-My statement to
the London Chronicle correspondent were

Illinois. That Illinois was not at all es-
sential to Bryan's success, That / had
no doubt OF Bryan's election without re-
gard to Illinois, though 1 believed our

Making Gratifying Growth.

The report of President Irvine of Wellesley college for 18945 has just been issued.
 The registry of the college shows 780 students entered for 1o94-5 against 768 for tho previous year. They represent 36 states, the District of Columbia. Canada and four foreign countries.
 The report notes the opening of Fiske Cottage in 1894, df tlie new chemistry laboratory in February, 1895, and of the emergency ward last October; also the introduction of electric lights into the two halls, the three larger cottages, the art building and the grounds. An ap- peal is made for more dormitories to ac- comInodate the rapidly increasing num- Der of students, who are now compelled to lodge i'll the village during their freshman year. The pressing need of q new chapel is emphasized.

 In conclusion, the doctor said s'I am at the commencement. My discovery is not consequent on the application of the cathode ray to photography My idea preceded it, but of course l have lately been inspired to push my experiments. y
 For two days and half the doctor worked uninterruptedly, save a couple of hours for sleep, when his tired brain dreamed of it's own likeness. The work had not been without attendant dangers. Many small animals were sacrificed ill the cause of science Even the final and successful effort was made with no as surance that tho camera might not hold the picture of dead man. Though in measure satisfied that tho process was one by which the brain could be photo- graphod without risk of life, it may be stated that the experimenter selected himself as his subject that no other life might ba endangered.
 George Francis Train had consented to sit, but tho doctor finally decided. not to permit him to do so
 As a matter of fact, the success of the experiments was DO less in that the operation was without sensation than in the reproduction of the brain picture
 So far as the use of the apparatus was concerned, the doctor consented to say that the light was thrown from one side of the head against it, as ill a magic lantern, while the attractive force was at the other.
 lie had arranged mirrors so that he might observe the effects, and was thus enabled to view his own brain. It was lighted up so that he saw the interior and even the pulsations. His sensations, so far as he had any, were at the strangeness of the phenomena and emo- tions of success rather than any physical effect produced by tho forces he manip- ulated, and which were controlled by electric buttons, the camera being ex- posed at the instant that the light was directed at the head.
 Tho doctor is young man. being not more than 35 years of age; is tall, slen- der and dark. He has broad, high forehead, topped by bushy black hair, and wears a seraggly, pointed beard.
