A suit Against the Northern Pacific by I.

G. Di.Iman.
Seattle, Wash. May 3.-The papers
in a sensational suit in the United
States court have been served. 1t Is
the suit of L. @. Dillman. the promi-
nent real estate dealer of Spokane,
against the Northern Pacific railroad
company, and in the complaint he tells
In full the story Of the gigantic frauds
practiced by Shuttle in connection with.
the sale of lands in and adjacent to
Spokane. Dillman asks for the return
of 1912, 900, of which he says he was de-
liberately defrauded; for s112. 400 dam
ages, which he claims TO have suffered
by reason of false representations, and
for the further sum of sos, 900. which
he claims to have paid out on notes
signed in behalf of the roads.
The suit is directed against Receiv-
ers McHenry and Bigelow of the
eastern districts and Receiver Burleigh
of this district and also against the
Farmers Loan & Trust company. as
holding mortgage on the Northern
Pacific, the complaint claiming that
the money has passed into the hands
of the receivers and has been used by
them to pay interest on the mortgage.
and that they now hold the balance in
the treasury of which they have con-
troll. Dillman states that the receivers
are perfectly willing to make a proper
adjudication If the courts can decree
the real amount of Indebtedness. He
asks that the Spokane property be ex-
cluded from the mortgage held by the
Farmers Loan & Trust company. He
asks that all persons be enjoined from
taking possession of the property until
an investigation of the charges made
by him can be had, and that the reor-

Privileges In Convention.


Cleveland, Ohio. May 5.-There was
but one session OF the Methodist gem
eral conference to-day. Bishop FNow-
Ter OF Minneapolis presided. read the
Scripture and preached the sermon,
prayer being offered by Rev. DR.. Up
ham of the Drew theological seminary.
Bishop Fowler's sermon was a power
full arraignment OF the higher critics OF
the Bible. the speaker showing. by
biblical and scientific argument. that
the mass OF criticisms passed on the
Scripture were without foundation. A
large number of ministerial delegates
TO the conference supplied the pulpits
in Cleveland and surrounding towns
this evening.
The delegates are expeotantly await
Ing the contest over the woman ques-
tion. which Is to come up the first thing
Tomorrow in the conference. The ma
jority report, which will be signed by
20 members OF the committee. will
probably be submitted by Rev. a. c.
Kynell of Philadelphia. 1t will hold
that women delegates are eligible TO
seats in the conference. The minority
report will be submitted by DIR. J. f.
Buckley, editor of the New York Chris
tfan Advocate. and will consist OF argu-
mf nts based on biblical and cOnStttu-
tional grounds against the granting of
the privileges OF delegates TO women.
The consensus of opinion among the
delegates Is that the minority report
will be adopted. II II L. the conference
will say, II ss asserted, that the consti-
tuition ought 10 be changed, and a pre-
cedent will be established which will
result in giving seats 10 women in all
future conferences. While IL is ad-
mitted that the women will win VIC
tory. considerable apprehension is felt
regarding the probable action of the
German delegates In the event OF such
action. The Germans are almost solid
ly opposed TO giving women seats and
a voice in conference proceedings. their
opposition being based on the declara-
tion at 81. Paul against women par
ticipating in the affairs OF the church.
and some doubt Is expressed as TO
whether they will submit TO the action

The Senate Programme.

Washington, May 3.-The senate pro-
gramme for this week is first to take
up the river and harbor bill, and when
that is disposed of, to follow with the
bill making appropriations for the
District of Columbia Opinions differ
very widely as to the time the river
and harbor bill will consume, but no
estimates place 1t at less than two or
three days. Whether II shall go on
longer will depend upon the political
temper of the senate. If, as is not i'm
possible, something should be said to
open up a political debate similar to
that of last week, there is no telling to
what length the discussions may be
drawn out. The managers will make a
strenuous effort to keep politics and
the several financial questions in the
background and to hold the discussion
down to the merits of the bill. This
may be accomplished by a promise of
the opposition to discuss the PETER
bond resolution or some other political
question before final adjournment.
The principal subject of debate in
connection with the bill itself Is the
amendments suggested by the commit
tee on commerce providing for the ex-
penditure of $4,000, 900 for the IMPROVE
ment of the harbor at Santa Monica,
Cal. Senator White of that state, will
offer an amendment making the appro-
priation upon the recommendation of
a committee of engineers which he will
propose and in case this amendment is
lost will make an effort to defend the
entire proposition. He will be sup
ported by five or six members of the
committee on commerce, especially by
Senator Berry. They will make an ef-
fort to show that the appropriation has
been provided for at the instance of
the Southern Pacific railroad and it is
not improbable that there may be a
foretaste of the Pacific railroad discus
sion in this connection. There will be
an effort during the week, on the part
of the republican senators, to agree on
an order of business for the remainder
of the session

servatory and a number of years of
valuable time of two noted astrono-

a great telescope and will be one of the
two principal scientific workers on the
expedition. DIR. See Of the University
of Chicago will be the other. Both are
scientists of renown. Their operations
will begin in July from the movable
observatory to be erected on a lofty
Mexican plateau near the City Of Mex
leo, and will probably be continued in
1898 somewhere down in Peru. The OBJ
jects of the expedition are twofold. Mr..
Lowell will study the planet Mars in a
systematic way that has seldom been
pursued. and Or. See will search the
southern heavens for double stars, in
the hope OF doing there what Burnham
