NORTHERN PACIFIC.
The Receivership Question Argued
Before the Supreme Court.


Before the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 14.-Associate
Justices Field. Harlan, Brown and
Brewer of the supreme court today
in chambers gave a hearing to the
attorneys interested in having the re-
ownership of the Northern Pacific
railroad consolidated.
The attorneys present were: Ex-
Senator Spooner and Mr.. Turner, rep
resenting the Farmers Trust COM
pany; Mr.. Petit of the railroad COM
pany, Joseph Choate of the Adams
committee of ibondholders and Mr..
Cardoza Livingston of the committee
of second mortgage bondholders.
While the arguments went into the
affairs of the railroads in great de-
tail. showing it's financial condition
and the fact of the conflicting views
of the present receivers and the courts
by which they were appointed, there
was practically but one question before
the court. That was the question Of
primary jurisdiction. With this mat
ter settled it is presumed there will be
no difficulty in agreeing upon one re-
ceiver for the road, or a set of receiv-
ers who would act tremendously as
they would be appointed by court
recognized IS having primary Jur1sdlc-
ton. The road passes through the
seventh. eighth and ninth circuits The
receivers for the seventh and eighth
circuits are now acting in harmony.
Spooner and Turner contended for
recognition of the jurisdiction of the
circuit for the eastern district of Wis
consin, on the ground that the pro-
ceedings for receiver were originally
begun in that court in 1898 and all
other courts had recognized this juris-
diction until August, 1885, Choate
agreed with them on this point. Car
doza's argument was for recognition
of the Minnesota court; Peti's for that
of the state of Washington. During
his argument ex-senator Spooner said
that if the present condition of af-
fairs was allowed to continue the road
would be split in two and it would be
necessary TO operate it as two separate
lines to the great injury of all inter-
eStS. He asserted that it was a matter
of but few days when separate or
ganization would be necessary.
Justice Brown suggested to Spooner
the possibility of the local federal
courts refusing to recognize any orders
the justices might promulgate in an
swer to these positions, but Spooner re-
piled that he did not consider this
probable. He suggested, in case that
emergency should arise. the justices
might visit the courts for the purpose
of having the orders entered. While
the fact did not develop in the pro-
it is known that all interests
feel that if they can prevail upon
these four justices ITO unite in recon-
mendation 1T would solve the problem,
because they represent almost one-half
of the supreme court. Justice Brown

RnrrInrs Mt Lehi.

i LEI Jan. 14.-Burglars broke into the
R1o Grande Western depot last night,
but fortunately nothing of value was
token. as Agent WEIGH had left no money
outside of the safe, which was not dis
turbed. Money alone seemed to be the
object sought for by the midnight mar
a1ders as express packages of value were
left undisturbed. The thieves gained an
entrance by cutting away enough of the
window sill to get a pry under the win
dow with q piece of railroad iron After
raising the window it was an easy mat
ter to get into the office. The burglars
turned their attention to the drawer in
which Mr.. WEIGH keeps the tickets, but
as no money had been left in the drawer
their reward was not very great.
The only clue TO the perpetrators IS a
long bladed clasp knife with a spring in
the hack of the handle and the point of
the blade broken OF, and the piece Of
iron which was used TO pry open the
window. Marshal Thomas has been ap-
praised Of the burglary and VIII leave no
stone untUrned in his endeaVor to bring
the thieves to justice.

GENERAL BOOTH MUST RESIGN.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Press this
morning says: Salvation Army follow
ers received a violent shock last night
when it was rumored that an order had
come from General Booth, in London to
the effect that his son and daughter
in-law, Commander and Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth, must relinquish their
American leadership at the end of
March. 1t is supposed that the London
authorities object to the strenuous
efforts made by. the leaders to Ameri-
canize the movement The commander
and his wife recently became Ameri-
can citizens and have now a large pro
portion of Americans in the ranks of
their paid officers. The removal of
the two popular leaders will, it is
feared, cause large withdrawal of
financial help. Commander Booth re-
fuses to say whether such an order
has been received. His friends say
Sist it.

VALkYRIE AGAIN.
Report of the New York Yacht Club
the Famous Event.

on the Famous Event.
NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE annual re-
port of the regatta committee of the
New York Yacht club consisting of s.
N. Nicholson Kane. Chester Grfswold
and Irving Grinnell. has just been made
public: The portion that will claim the
attention of the public is that relating
10 the international races last fall be-
tween Defender and Valkyrie
The report under the heading the
match for the Americas cup" goes ex-
haustiyely into all the circumstances
leading up to the foul which lost Val
h s1st the second race, and Defenders
IN detail. Lord Dunraven claimed that
Defender broke rules Z, TO- IA and Is of
the New York Yacht club, and winds
up by saying: Had [ deemed it
possible Defender would protest l should
nave protested against her L believed
the foul to have been the result of an
accident. I thought that, being affected
by nay wash and her head sails being
right under my mainsail, she had prob
ably taken a sudden sheer to windward
and Internationally fouled me- Under
necessary to protest"
The committee justified its action in
SUSTAINING Mr.. 1Selins protest in the fol-
lowing words: Section II. of rule XVI
reads: "A yacht shall not bear away out
OF her course SO as to hinder another
passage to leeward," and it was on this
action that the committee based it's de-
cision.
Referring to the crowding of the
course, the report says:
AS the courses were outside the three
mile limit, there was no authority over
them. but a fotflla of twenty steam
yachts belonging to the club acted as
patrol. On September Z, the accompany
ing vessels we're mixed up and n CON
sequence they took up pEr.tion which
somewhat cramped the starting line and
compelled both yachts. for a short time
after the start, to work through a por-
ton of the fleet. 1t is our opinion that,
with this exception, there was no more
interference through the match than
there. was in 1S93-if there was as much. !"
Valkyrie cited against Defender the fol-
lowing. sections under rule XVI: AN
overtaking yacht shall in every case, so
long as an overlap exists, keep clear of
the yacht which is being oVertaken

appointed by the president and as soon

to be converted to it. The company is
then to deliver to the United States fifty
year per cent. bonds to the amount OF
the total indebtedness of the railroads
to the government, secured by mort
gage on, all the property. subject only to
the bonds secured by first mortgage upon
the properly in the. event the United
States has not purchased or paid the
same. The stock of the new company is
to be sold at public auction and the
amount realized applied to the indebted
ness of the government and when the
latter is fully paid the stockholders are to
organize a new corporation. The gov
eminent railroad company is then to con-
vey the railroads and properties to it
upon the surrender and cancellation of
the stock of the old company.
