NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The CONNER
cial Advertiser says: c.. Oliver Iselin
and Mrs. Iselin sailed for Liverpool
today on the White Star liner Majestic.
1t was said that upon their arrival on
the other side they would go direct to
London, and after a week in the En-
glish metropolis proceed to Egypt.
where they would spend the remainder
of the winter. Particular interest is
given to Mr.. Iselin'e visit to Europe at
this time because of the rumors that
have been widely circulated that while
abroad he will meet Lord Dunraven in
an unfriendly spirit. Mr.. Iselin, when
questioned by a reporter concerning
these rumors, refused absolutely to dis
cuss the matter
Among the other prominent passen-
gers on the Majestic were Mr.. and Mrs.

NEW YORK OR CHICAGO.
One of the Two Likely to Secure the
Democrats.

Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The four
rival cities, New York, Chicago, st.
Louis and Cincinnati, which are ap-
plicants for the Democratic national
convention, have established their
headquarters at the Arlington, and the
campaign for the prize is being car
ried on with vigor. The delegation
from Cincinnati, headed by M. e. In
gals, president of the Big Four rail-
road, was the last to arrive. The boom
ers from the Queen City, while not en-
thusiastic over their prospects, say they
intend to make an honest effort to Sc
cure the convention. Ex-Mayor Gil
roy and United States Marshal Nc
Carthy came over from New York
ahead of the big Tammany delegation
expected tonight. The Chicago BOOM
ers have prepared a great array of
arguments, climatic, geographical and
astronomical, why the convention
should go to the city of the lake.
There is a disposition among outsiders
to inject the financial question into the
fight and to array the free silver men
against New York, but the members
of the committee declare that issues
are not lnVOlVeQ. 1t seems likely,
however, that the fact that it has prac-
tically been decided to hold the con-
vention later than usual, in July or
August, will initiate against the
chances of st. Louis and Cincinnati
Today the victory seems to lie between New
York and Chicago. The Chicago delegation
arrived during the afternoon, and at once be-
gan work among the delegates. New Yorks
contingent already here was reinforced by a.
number of fresh arrivals during the evening
Col. John R. Fellows is expected to make the
principal speech before the committee in be-
half of the metropolitan city The New York
ers are counting on from fifteen to eighteen
votes and the first ballot, with a considerable
increase on the second, should a second be nee
essary to determine choice. Ex-Gov. Stone
! is expected to make the principal argument for
st. Louis. Senator Vest may also speak In
Cfncinnatis behalf, M. E. Ingalls, and John F.
Follett are expected to argue. The various
headquarters were thronged with large
crowds during the entire evening and all the
| delegates were busy in pressing their claims
| holding conferences and mapping out the
| work for tomorrow. All the members of the
! national committee have either arrived them
| selves or are represented by proxy. The COM
mittee meets at II o'clock in the morning, and
| the present expectation is that the arguments
in favor of the respective cities will begin at
3 in the afternoon.

WINNIPEG TERMINAL BONDS,
SUIT OF THE NORTHERN PACIFIC

PANY. ~
DEMAND FOR AN ACCOUNTING.
Complaint Filed in the United Stafea
Circuit Court at New
York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Complaint
was filed today In the United States
circuit court in the suit brought by
the Northern Pacific & Manitoba Rail-
road company against Henry Willard
for an accounting. The complaint al
leges that the plaintiff company en-
tered into an agreement with Henry
Willard for the sale Of first mortgage
and Winnipeg terminal bonds. The
defendant, who was president of the
oregon & Trans-Continental Railroad
company, caused the delivery of 81 ,O75,-
900 worth of first mortgage bonds to
the Oregon & Continental COM
pany and the remaining first mortgage
and Winnipeg terminal bonds were
delivered to himself. The total value
of all bonds delivered is given as
$3.50, $50, which it is alleged the de-
fendant has sold and received payment
for. OF this sum he has accounted for
S4,l3O,316, and it is charged that the
defendant has realized from the sale
of the bonds $545, 433 over and above
all just charges and disbursements
for this and other sums; the plaintiff
asking that Mr.. Willard be required to

such complication in the future as
had arisen in this case. Mr.. Petit OPP
posed the position of Messrs. Turner
and Spooner He denied the assertion
that the receivers were appointed in
the midst of a panic, declaring that
months time was consumed in decid-
ing whether to apply to the courts sit
ting in Milwaukee, or to those of Chi
cago and st. Paul. He said the recog-
milton of the Milwaukee receivership in
the morning was due to the fact that
the parties who had applied for their
appointment were in possession of the
road, and of course turned all the prop
erty over to them. Mr. Pettits argu-
ment was for the recognition of the
jurisdiction of the circuit court for the
Washington district. He said that his
choice was controlled in the matter by
the fact that the railroad company had
more property In that jurisdiction than
in any other
Mr.. Choate, who appeared for the
Adams committee, representing the

An effort has been made by the West
ern passenger men to persuade the
Southern Pacific to join the Western
Passenger association; or, more par
ticularly, the Western immigrant
agreement.
The western roads are authority for
the statement that the Southern Pa
cific demands for division of the Cali
fornia immigrant business are too arbi-
trary to be even considered. In a divis-
ion Of this traffic the Southern Pacific
does not want it's Ogden route con-
sidered at all, but wants every thing
routed and divided via the New Or
leans gateway. 1t also demands that
its New York immigration agents be
made it's authorized representatives at
New York, instead Of the regular
agents of the Western lines
Local passenger men seem to think
it is doubtful if the Southern Pacific
can be persuaded to enter the agree
ment.

WE WILL NEVER FIGHT.
BaIfOur Utters Friendly Sentiments
Toward America.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Hon. A. ]. Bal
four, first lord of the treasury, speaking
at Manchester tonight said it was not
III human nature that the present con-
dition of things in the Transvaal should
continue. Therefore he was sanguine
that President Kruger would recognize
the Importance of giving the long-prom-
ised reforms Of the constitution. Wheth-
er it was called suZerainty or not, there
could be no mistake that England con-
trclled the external relations of the
Transvaal and would admit no foreign
interference; and further, he believed
that no foreign country was prepared
to dispute that doctrine.
Having highly complimented Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain, he turned to
Venezuela, and said that nobody here
wanted to run contrary to the Monroe
doctrine In fact, if Venezuela had
offered herself for annexation to Great
Britain, any British statesman would
decline such an honor. Therefore he
failed to understand what the quarrel
was about. 1t would be hard, indeed,
if the common sense of the Anglo
Saxon race were unable to settle the
dispute without recourse to war. He
did not believe there was possibility
of war, but there was never a moment
in the history of the country when 1T
possessed a better fighting machine.
Mr.. Balfour asserted the British gov
eminent had heartily concurred in the
Monroe doctrine seventy years ago. and
he believed it would be impossible to
find a single individual who ever de-
sired to see what would be called a
forward policy adopted by England,
either in North or South America. Mr..
Balfour referred long and eloquently to
the horrors of a war between Great
Britain and America, but he said he
felt obliged to admit sorrowfully that
many Americans seemed likely to re-
gard such a war as the exhilirating ex-
ercise of a gentle national stimulus.
MAY no English statesman or no
English party have the responsibility
of that crime heavy upon their souls"
he concluded
The Daily News and Chronicle. both
Liberal, commenting on Mr.. Balfour's
speech COMPLAIN that he proposed no
solution of the Venezuelan trouble.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 15.-Members
representing easily 500, 900. 900 worth of
property are present at the annual
meeting of the Lake Carriers associa-
ton, which opened in Whitney's Music
hall shortly before noon. All the lead

SS9 tons, compared with $50 1876 for the
year ending March 81, 1895. The dues of
cents per netregiStered ton were most
ly paid up 1t was estimated that a
saving of over $50, 900 had been effected
by vessel owners purchasing fuel where
they pleased, according to the action
taken at the last annual meeting. The
report of the board of managers paid
elaborate tribute to the services of the
late Gen. Poe; suggested the adoption
of system of control at outlets of the
lakes, in order to maintain depths of
water, and called attention to the vital
Importance of the plans for deep water
ways to the sea, as regards their proba-
bic effect in lowering the carrying
rates from the West to the seaboard.
In his opening address President Will
lam E. Livingstone suggested that the
Detroit bridge matter and other impor-
tant questions be discussed in execu-
tive session, thereby allowing more lib
eral expression of opinion On motion
of Harvey D. Goulder, of Cleveland, a
committee was appointed to ascertain
the probable effect of bridging the De-
troit river, and as to the comparative
amount of freight carried through and

CUTTING WESTERN RATES.
Much of the Trouble Caused by the
Rio Grande.

SO serious has the Western passenger
rate situation become that a collapse
Of the new Western Passenger associa-
ton is threatened. Much of the trouble
is due to the uncompromising attitude
assumed by the Rio Grande Western
road, but the Union Pacific, Denver &
Gulf is also said to be helping the gen
eral decentralization. The latter yester-
day carried the war begun in Colorado
a few days ago as far east as Chi
cago. On tickets from Colorado
Springs to Chicago cut of SIS is made;
to ST. Louis So is taken off, and to the
Missouri river $3.50. These tickets are
sold by scalpers over the Gulf roads
Julesburg line and the Union Pacific
The latter has been requested not to
honor the tickets, and it is believed it
will issue orders to that effect Ener-
getic measures will at once be taken by
the Western roads against both the Rio
Grande Western and the Denver and
Gulf roads so as to prevent further de-
moralization east of Colorado.

Gigantic Liabilities of Broken
Philadelphia Leather Concern.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, jan 15.-The
leather trade of this city was thrown
into state Of CONSERVATION today by
the announcement that the liabilities
of Keen, Sutterlee & Co., leather deal
ers and importers, who failed on Sat-
urday, will reach, if they do not ex-
coed, $4,000, 900. This statement is made
by leather merchants of the highest
commercial standing, who affirm that
leather was only one of the various
commodities handled by the firm. They
were heavy importers of goat skins.
chemicals, coffees, wool and hides
most of which came from South Amer
lean ports. Their arriving consie nments
were very large in many cases. and
their consequent output of these goods
was necessarily large, but it was not
always profitable output, say the
tradesmen. A majority of the other
dealers have known this and have
been sufficiently conversant with the
general state of affairs in Keen. Suffer-
lee d CO.'S business to see the inevita-
bic end OF it all, and to very few did
the failure come as a surprise Four
other leather houses have since gone
down in the crash which wrought the
ruin of the larger firm These are John

Charles w. Landell, $4,000; Charles

two houses are not yet known.

Frederick w. Sutterlee and Fen1in
have not been seen by those with whom
they usually associated since last
Thursday. Mr.. Sutterlee and Mr.. Fen
lin were extremely intimate in their
business life and their simultaneous abb
sence has led many to suppose that
they have gone together although Mr.
Sutterlee announced his departure in
search of his health. From whisperings
In the trade it would be supposed
that many Of the men who best knew
the concern and its methods are in
cllned to believe that the failure hinges
considerably more on the disappear
ance of these two men than is com
monty supposed. Their remarks would
also suggest that the affairs of the
concern can never be satisfactorily ad-
justed until Mr.. Sutterlee returns and
explains ma tiers of moment No other
failures are anticipated by the vari-
Gus trade merchants, who remain
above ground financially, and the gem
eral feeling is that the leather industry

UNION PACIFIC STOPPED IT.
Speedy End to the Colorado Passen-
ger War.

A speedy end has been put to the
Colorado passenger rate war inaugur-
ated Monday by the Denver & Gulf
road. The Union Pacic has sat down
on it's pugilistic connection and pos
1tlvely refused to accept it's tickets
sold at the cut rates announced Mon
day. Consequently they brought all
the influence they could command to
bear on the Union Pacific to close in
its connection with it's own local ter
ritory. The Union Pacific readily COM
piled, and in consequence the Denver
& Gulf was forced to announce yester-
day its withdrawal of cut rates to the
Missouri river, st. Louis and Chicago
The cuts will be maintained to Col
orado Springs. Denver and Pueblo,
however. Receiver TrumbulI, of the
Gulf, and General Traffic Manager
Hughes, of the Denver & Rio Grande,
are now on their way to Chicago to
confer with President Ripley, of the
Santa Fe, on the settlement of the coal
rate war, which has been the original
ing cause of all the trouble.
