MSiwaulcee. Jan. s.-The attorneys
representing the Northern Pacific inter-
ests win appear before the United
States supreme court IN Washington on
Monday TO request that court to take
jurisdiction OF the case. The agreement
reached by the contendlng parties will
be made known at that time. Both Re-
ceivers Bigelow and McHenry, who
were appointed by Judge Jenkins 10
succeed Messrs. Payne. Rouse and
oskes, returned from New York this
morning. Both declined 10 talk upon
the subject. stating that the matter
was entirely in the hands OF the artor-
neys. Parties Interested in the recelv-
orsalip when shown to-<iay's dispatch
sent out from Tacoma this morning
stated that. In their opinion. II meant
simply the discharge OF the sub-receiv-
ers In the western Jurisdiction. They
hold that the movement is OF no eonse-
quence. for Receiver Burlefgh has been
virtually in charge OF the line In the
West since his appointment by Judge
Hanfor1. On the other hand. the dis
charge OF the minor recelverships
would go TO indicate that the move
ment 70 put the agreement into efrect

Spanish Cruisers.

Key West. March 16.-Since
the reported departure of the
steamer Commodore from Char
lesion, the Bermuda from New
York and of other vessels from
Florida points with arms and
ammunition for the Cuban insur-
gents, this coast has been close
ly guarded by three Spanish
cruisers. It is reported that
these vessels patrol the coast
from Sand Key Light to Cape
Florida. During the day they
keep we'll out to sea, coming in
shore during the night. They
keep within hailing distance OF
each other and their search lights
at night make it almost impossi-
BILE for any vessel to pass with
out being seen. Prominent Gu
bans here claim that they do not
fear being captured by Spanish
cruisers. If they can only evade
the authorities of the United
States. they say they are willing
to give the Spania-ds a chance
to capture them.

EARNINGS.

Bradstreet's report for last
week makes a very gratifying
showing of railroad business.
The receipts of 1875 companies
last month were larger with a
single exception than in any pres
ceding month for three years.
The total earnings of these com-
panies for February. 1896, were
1874, 484, 900, a gam over February
of last year of nearly II per
cent. The Granger roads. the
Pacific and the Southern lines,
led in this increase with from &c
to % per cent. larger receipts
than for February of last year.
Railroad receipts are considered
a very good indication of general
business and this showing OF
their increased earnings is, there
fore, a cheering sign.

Wilmington Messenger.
Raleigh, March 17.-Your cor.
respondent to-day interviewed
Republican State Chairman Hol-
ton and asked him whether the
Republicans proposed to name
their candidate for Governor OF
permit the Populists to name
him, he replied:
"Unquestionably, we will
name him. We don't mean to
lput a candidate forward and
then back down and surrender.
The friends of Dockery, Russell
and Boyd are not fighting sham
BATTLE"
The next question asked was:
will the Republicans take the
lpledge prepared by Senator But>
Ter and adopted at the State Sill
yer Convention last September,
to vote for only those who de
lclare themselves for free and I'M
limited silver coinage?
HolIon replied:
1.-The Republicans will never
stultify themselves by taking
such a pledge and then support
the Republican nominee for
President; for no man mentioned
in connection with the nomina-
ton for the Presidency enter~
tains Buffers views on the silver
question"
The third question was:
"Will there be Republican and
Populist F'usion?"
The reply was:
"Unless the Pops spurI the pro-
positions of the Republican con-
vention, the masses Of THERE
publicans favor State cooper
alton. [ do not think the rank
and file Of the Populists will fol>
low Butler in his position to have
only d free silver ticket from top

involved. Their local success
this yea1, and even their organ
cation will be threatened, for the
free silver party is regarded in
the nation as a fourth party and
thinking Populists will be ready
to condemn the action of Butler,
their chairman. in committing
their organization tt another
party"
The last question asked was:
will there be electoral fus~
ion?"
The reply was:
mot by any means Neither Pc
pulists nor Republicans want it
except a very few. My views of
this matter are all Defined"

In the Dark Continent.

The English are marching
gaily toward another campaign
in the Soudan. quite regardless
Of the time they had of it there
BEFORE and of the time I0aly has
just been having in the same
neighborhood.
The arrangement for the adj
vance Of the Egyptian forces up
the Nile appears to have been
made before the Italian defeat. 1t
probably is not less needed now
as a matter of defense, but the
situation has become much more
complicated and the French are
already asking what England's
intentions are.
The Immediate military danger
is less than the diplomatic dan
ger. France has been pressing
for an understanding about
Egypt and does not like this re-
assertion of the British policy of
occupation. Lord Salisbury, in
fact. with all his efforts to make
friends, has succeeded in pleas
ing nobody except Italy, which
is the only power that is quite
incapable of rendering effective
assistance.
The present Egyptian move
ment is a small thing, but large
things may easily come out of it.
international jealousies have
been in a manner transferred
from Asia to Africa, and it is moi
Africans alone that may make &
campaign in the Dark Continent
dangerous.
