The Latest Report. in That Line-As-
sessment stock.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE latest
reports in regard to the impending re-
organization plan of the Northern Pa.
cific railroad are that voting trust of
FIVE members, including Messrs. j P.
Morgan, August Belmont and a direct
representation of the Deutsche bank
will be made. 1t is alleged that the
preferred stock will be assessed $40,
and the common SIS per share, without
return except that the preferred will
get part of its face value in new first
preferred. The common will receive
less than it's face value in new common
stock. The holders of consols will re.
ceive first preferred stock to the extent
of the face value of the bonds, and q
security for arrears of interest. The
bond charges will be about $6, 600, 600.
There is some conflict of opinion as tC
whether Mr. Hill will be directly rep.
resented in the voting trust. The re.
ports as yet. lack official authority.

of the situation there:
(''It is difficult to know really what
happened at ths front, but the govern.

gime for criticising the action Of Min
lister Willis in refusing to acknowledge
the January celebration. Mr.. Willis
departure is looked upon as the only
recourse left, as he has been persona

rival. There has been more or less talk
Of the Hawaiian government giving
Minister Willis his passports, and it is
fair to surmise that Willis is leaving to
prevent such contingency.

4 CANADIAN FEDERATION.

NO Longer an Advantage to Affiliate
With the United states.
OTTAWA, Ont. March 14.-At meet
ing Of the executive committee of the
Knights of Labor and other prominent
labor men, it was decided to form a
Canadian federation of labor, having
no connection with the United States
labor organizations. and to organize at
once. Canadians believe there is no
longer anything to be gained by their
connection with the international asso-
citation, since the alien law, as enforced
by the United States, prevents Can
adian member of affiliated bodies from
obtaining employment in the States.

NEWPORT NEWS MAYORALTY.
Judge Bnrham Renders His Decision
i'm the Case.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, August A.
Especially Judge j t. Barham rendered
his decision in the contested mayoralty
election case at II o'clock this morning
and by IL the entire vote OF the Second
Precinct polled at the last election rs
thrown out, on the ground that fraud
was wilfully and knowingly perpetrated
10 the detriment Of the interests or ex-
Mayor w. A. Post. If Mr. Moss is 10
retain his position az Mayor of Newport
News for the term OF two years, he must
prove in court, by the presence OF the
Individual voters, that he received suf-
ficient number of votes TO give him
majority. In case he fails to prove that
majority TO the satisfaction of Judge Bar
ham be will be unsoated. and Mr.. Post
will be relnstated.
The decision, II is thought. means a
victory for Mr.. Post, as II is generally
believed by his friends that he can show
that he received a larger vote than al
lowed him by the judges. and one that
VIII give him a majority equal to, and
perhaps greater than, that credited TO
Mr.. Moss.
In an interview with your correspond
ent this morning Mr. Post said:
II am thoroughly pleased with the re-
suit. and am confident that my friends
can show In court by the voters them
selves that the returns from Precinct No.
should have been In my favor" d.
Mr.. Moss had this to say:
II am not at all apprehensive as TO our
ability 10 prove the vote. and am con-
hdent that we can show that no fraud
existed"
Mr.. Moss will hold office until the next
term of the Corporation Court, in Sep
x.slst s.l. frr4aa a. l.
ton will be made OF the case.
This Is the first contested election case
10 be tried under the new election law,
and. consequently. Judge Barham's de-
cision has been eagerly awaited In all
parts OF the State.
