NORTHERN PACIFIC PLANS.

VIII Abandon Chicago as the Eastern
Terminal.
New YORK, March lS.-The follow
ing very important announcement is
made by the Northern Pacific reor-
ganization committee in document
apart from the one already published.
The plan for independent reorganiza.
ton is on the following basis:
First-The abandonment of Chicago
as the Eastern terminal and the limita-
ton of the railway on the East by the
Mississippi and the Great Lakes.
Second-The ultimate union Of the
main line branches and terminal prop
critics through direct ownership by a
single company.
Third-The reduction of the fixed
annual charges to less than the mini
mum earnings under probable condi-
tions, ample provision for additional
capital as required in a series Of years
for the development Of the property
and for the greater facilities necessi-
tated by an increased business.
The foregoing is deemed of great sig
nificance for Minnesota and the entire
Northwest

Admissions. Of Cabinet Ministers
Regarding the Egyptian
Expedition
Indicate That Dongola Is Only a
Hating Place, Not the
Destination.
Desired to Extend the Blessing
of British Rule to SOudan.
JamesOn's Raid.

NEW YORK, March IA dispatch
to- The World from London says the
ministerial admissions and the discus
sion in the house Of commons indicates
that the advance on Soudan denotes q
policy by the British government which
may be fraught with very far reaching
and disastrous consequences. Arthur
Balfour, speaking for the cabinet, prac-
tically admitted that Dongola would
probably not be the destination, but
only the hating place of the Anglo
Egyptian expedition. His admissions
of desire to bring the blessing of British
rule to Soudan were interpreted as indi-
eating that the British government is
bent upon war not of defense but of
conquest of the whole section. Sir
Char.es Duke made profound impress
sion by his able and we ghty exposition
OF the dangers and complications, not
only in Central Africa but in Europe,
which would be entailed by such Il
policy. The reception of his speech
shows that he has now largely regaIned
the influence he lost when driven from
public life. ten years ago.
Liberals oppose the Campaign.
The Liberals will oppose the Soudan
campaign, and they expect that it will
make the government unpopular in the
country, as It's perlls are only too ap-
parent, while the advantages, even if
successful, are nebulous in the highest
degree. Unless popular outcry stays
Sallsbury's hand, it may well happen
that the long expected causus belli,
which is to bring about general
European cataclysm may be provided,
not by trouble at Constantinople or in
the Balkans in the far East, but by the
clashing of French. German and Brit
ish interests in Africa, and especially
in the race now begun in good earnest
for the possession Of the unappropriated
portion of the valley of the upper Nile.
Pointed Out the Serious Consequences.
PARIS, March lS.-The minister of
foreign affairs, NJ Berthelot. announced
at cabinet council that he had asked
the British ambassador, the Marquis of
Dufferin, for information regarding the
proposed advance of British. Egyptian
troops up the Nile, and stated that he
had pointed out to the ambassador the

vance
