N. p. REORGANIZATION PLAN.
Favorable Comment on 1t by the
Financial Chronicle,

The officials Of the Northern Pa
cific road, to say nothing of the large
number Of people in the Northwest
who are anxious to see the big sys-
tenn continue to prosper, can scarcely
fail to be gratifled at the comments
made on the reorganization plans by
no less dignified a publication than
the Financial Chronicle, several days
ago.
The substance of the editorial re-
marks is as follows:
The most conspicuous event OF the week af-
fecting Industrial affairs was the issue Mon
day of the Northern Pacific reorganization
plan. We have discussed the matter fully on
subsequent pages, and need not enlarge upon
1t here. Had other influences affecting bust
ness been of a recuperative nature the an
nouncement would have had more exhilar-
ating influence. As it is, the beneficial effects
which must in the end result have not in any
degree been discounted as in good times they
so often are. We are not permitted to doubt
that they are any the less important or less
sure to follow. When the new securities have
been issued and the old property stands
among its business competitors, operated again
by its officers as solvent concern, industrial
interests will get substantial benefits from the
change.
There is one aspect Of the matter which is
apt to escape attention, but which is very i'm

portani. We have reference TO the effect of
the reorganization on the STATE of business In
the territory tributary - the cGmpanys lines.
We discuss tina; feature al the close .: the ar
dele already referred 20, but shall make brief
ailusion 20 the thought here AS part OF the
scheme OF reorganization, I is the purpose 10
spend gocd deal of morey-a great many
million dollars--to put the property In the
highest state CT efficiency, so that the read may
be able &c render transportation service al "a
low cost and yet derive profit from the work.
The expenditure OF this money viii mean the
giving of employment 10 greatly increased
numbers OF men. this IN urn Will mean ex-
panding consumption. and that will mean a
gradual eniarg.ng volume OF business for al!
the local trades people Moreover. every ef-
fort will be made 20 secure a new infius of
settlers fer the Northwest. The Northern Pa
cihc has a very extensive land grant The
sales out OF this grant havt in the past been
very large: during the last two years under
the unfavorable conditions prevailing these
sales have dwindled tossmail proportions. Ac-
tive means will now be employed to cultivate
the settlement of the landsn Thus the indica-
tions point strongly TO a continuance and en-
largement of the activity in trade which last
years excellent crops In thai section have al
ready produced; and in tims may look for
a full recovery from the setback under which
that part of the country has labored as the re-
suit ot the events of the last few years.
OF the Northern Pacific reorganization
plan it says:
While the carrying out cf'the proposed reor-
gani2ation- will mean much 20 the security
holders of the NcrtherL Pacific, it will mean
hardly less TO the communities which the sys-
TEN serves II may be taken for granted that
local sentiment Will be favorable TO the reor-
ganized company, since the road is to be main
tanned a separate system. By improving
the properly, moreover. Il Will be placed In
better position 10 meet the requirements OF
the various sections traversed by the road
Furthermore, the reorganfZers propose to spend
large amounts Immediately for such improve
ments and this will have a marked effect In
stimulating trade in the Northwest. Finally
it is the intention to pursue vigorous policy
in the development CT the territory tributary
to the road by promoting settlements on the
company's extensive land grant. Already bus
mess is active in that part of the United
States and for the seven months of the cur
rent fiscal year to JAN 81 the gross earnings
of the Northern Pacific have increased 81, 1893,
776, as compared with the same seven months
of last year, and the net earnings $1,S97.911
Under the reorganization this activity will be
further increased. We violate no confidence
when we say that in the opinion of those who
are supporting the effort to rehabilitate this
great railroad system, the step will mark
permanent turn in the Northwest ensuring
it is thought, continued prosperity for many
| years to come.

THE CRAZED BRUTE KILLED HER
KEEPER AND CHARGED CHI
CAGO STREETS.
DASHED AGAINST THE DOOR.
UNFORTUNATE VICTIM THROW
WILDLY ABOUT By THE EN-
RACED ANIMAL.
POLICE OFFICERS WE'RE NERVOUS
The Elephant Finally Quieted by
Trainers Who Were Secured
From the City Park.

CHICAGO, March 25.-A crazed ele-
rhant, who had killed her keeper and
escaped from her barn raced up and
down the streets and the alleys of the
West side this afternoon, and was not
captured until late tonight. The ami
NAL was the big elephant Gypsy, at
tached to travelling circus, and Frank
Scott, whom she killed, had had charge
of her for a number of years. About 1
o'clock he Went to the stall where the
big beast was confined and cast her
loose. He then drove Ter into the alley
and proceeded to give her the daily
exercise. Scott mounted Gypsy's head
and rode her around for few min
utes. finally stopping nearly in front
of the barn doors. Reaching over in
front, Scott jammed the iron hook, with
which he controlled the movements
of the big beast, into the flesh just
above the right eye. Then he slid down
her forehead to the ground. Scarcely
had his feet touched the ground when
Gypsy raised her trunk and knocked
him to the ground. With a scream
she seized the man in her trunk, raised
him high in the air and hurled him
violently against the doors of the shed.
against the doors broke them down
and Scott landed on the ground in
side, crushed and broken.
''Helpv' he cried, "She will kill me-"
Hearing the noise from inside the
shed, Gypsy reached in with her trunk
after her keeper, who made all the ef-
fort his injured condition would allow
to get out of her reach. He continued
to cry for aid, and Gypsy tried to get
at him again. Mrs. Fred Irwin, who
lives in Jackson boulevard, ran into the
alley and tried to reach the doors Of
the barn in order to summon aid, but
her movements were observed by
Gypsy and with a scream the elephant
ran for Mrs. Irwin. She turned for her
alley gate and reached it hardly in time
to avoid the big brute as she thundered
! into the alley. A call was Immediately
sent into the West Lake police station
and the ambulance was dispatched to
the scene. The officers, after much
trouble, managed to get Scott away, but
| he died in a short time.
Meanwhile Gypsy was wandering at
her own sweet will. She strolled from
her barn to Jackson boulevard and
back again. Twenty policemen were
called from the West Lake street sta
ton, half dozen from the Warren ave-
nue. station and ten park policemen I'M
der Capt. Placek. No one cared to tackle
the elephant. When he was first in
formed Of the affair,W. H. Harris, own
er of the animal, offered large sums for
a man who could shoot her, but no one
responded Had Gypsy charged into
the street at any time during the aft
! ernoon her victims would have num-
| bered many, for Jackson boulevard was
thronged. The animal was finally qui-
eted by the elephant trainers from the
city park.
The real name of the elephant is
said to be Empress, although she now
goes by the name Of Gypsy, owing to
her reputation for dangerous temper.
Scott is the third man she has killed.

N. p. AGREEMENTS.
L. s. Miller Goes After Informat IN
for BOndhoIders.

Leverett S. Miller, chief engineer
and assistant general manager of the
st. Paul & Duluth road, left yesterday
in a private car attached to the North
ern Pacific overland train for trip
over the line and branches. which will
probably take two or three weeks. He
was accompanied by Howard Elmer
manager of the New Jersey Steel and
Iron company, who lives in this city.
Mr. Miller is said to be making the
trip in the interests of the Northern
Pacific bondholders for the purpose of
looking into the character and desira-
bility Of the agreements now in effect
between the Northern Pacific and the
six or eight branches between here
and the Pacific coast.
Although Mr.. Miller was inclined to
be retlcent about his journey, it was
learned that before the reorganization
is completed such agreements as are
not satisfactory will be altered, and
those which meet his approval will be
made permanent, it being understood
that at present all agreements with
branch lines are quite Informal in their
nature.
Mr.. Miller will make a report of his
investigations upon his return to st.
Paul. -...... su

lis, and st. Paul expects that he will Just
about win the pennant for the Sanity city

CART did not do anything wonderful in the
big league last year His batting average
was .256, and two-thirds of the players did
better than that. AS short stop he ranked
number 10, and Coogan was the only short
stop who did not dc better than Sbugart
Coogan, by the way. only played sixteen
games. Shugart's fielding average was S74
Shugart if he will keep himself in condition

him more OF welcome than the hosts of old
admirers in Minneapolis.

DUNKARDS FOR DAKOTA.
Twenty Colonies Will Reach st. Paul
Sometime Today,

Twenty colonies of Dunkards, or
German Lutherans, will reach st. Paul
some time today from Chicago on their
way to their future homes in Dakota.
Four trains, consisting of twenty
coaches and 102 freight cars, on the
Wisconsin Central will be necessary
to transport. the newcomers to the
Northwest. and plans have been made
to receive them and care for them
during their brief stay in this city.
They are in charge of Elder Lilligh,
who comes from Smithboro, and who
will accompany them to their destina-
tions,
The Dunkards are from colonies in
half hundred towns in Virginia, West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois, and this is the second
exodus duAng the past three years
from the older states to the newer
Northwest. The new, rich country,
and the efforts Of the Great Northern
road, are responsible for this party

ate fifteen Wagner cars on the Omaha
road between here and Chicago. The
contract signed becomes effective May
25. This addition to the number of
roads served by the Wagner company
will give it an increased mileage Of
about 1.500 miles.
The Pullman company, which oper-
ated the cars on this line for number
of years, made hard fight to retain
the business, but it thought
that the Vanderbilt interests in the
Wagner company, as well as in the
Chicago G Northwestern, and also in
the Omaha, brought about the change.

The Minneapolis Cycle Show VIII
Show n Host of Novel Features,

There are comparatively few cycle
dealers in the Northwest who have not
closed for space at the Minneapolis Ex-
position show. Almost every wheel
manufacturer of any note will be repre-
sented by a mammoth display on this
occasion. The j. T. Preece Mercantile
company fell into line yesterday and
closed for space. Their exhibit will in
clude a complete display of high grade
Windsor cycles kilograms and COM
munications from Eastern houses re-
questing space are numerous and the
management has no hesitation in say
ing that for size, elaboration, novelty
of displays and abundance of unique
features, the Minneapolis cycle show
will bear favorable comparison with
anything of the kind ever given in
America. The fireworks, the motocy-
cles. the palace of illusions. the '"Trilby''
picture and the speed contests will all
combine to present an occasion Of

G. A. r.. RATE REFUSED.
One Fare the Best the Trans-Mis-
souri, Roads VIII Give,

CHICAGO, March 25.-The trans
Missouri roads have not been as lib
eral with the G. A. r. as the roads
in the Western Passenger association.
They have decided upon rate of one
fare for the round trip for the annual
encaImpment in st. Paul, instead of a
rate of one cent per mile, as author
lied by the roads of the Western Pas
Senger association.
Some time ago the Chicago-St Paul
lines requested their ST. Louis con-
nections to discontinue a second-class
rate of $13.50 from st. Louis to st. Paul
via Chicago. The rate offered a scalp
on the local tariff! between Chicago
and ST. Paul. The. st. Louis roads
took out the rate, but 1t was continued
for basing purposes. The Chicago-St.
Paul lines have now requested the
st. Louis roads to take the rate out
Of the market entirely.
