Abodt the
Big Crop.

A meeting was held at the office of
| the railroad and warehouse commission
yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of
| considering and determining the grades
for Minnesota grain for the ensuing
| crop season. There were a few repre-
| sentatives of the country shippers, and
commission dealers present, but no
recommendations were offered looking
to any change or modification in exist
ing rules and grades. The suggestion
was made that the f1aXseed marketed
| and inspected at Northwest tern terminal
points, should be designated in all Off
cial certificates as northwestern not
flax, etc, thus according it a distinc-
by reason of superior merit and quality
The commission will determine the
question in few days.
AT the conclusion of the meeting a
reporter for the G O asked one Of
the best posted grain men present if
the reports Of bumper crops were in
line with his information on the subject,
and he said they were not, and he
added, he was not bull on the market
either, He said it was difficult at this
time to make a close prediction as to
the aggregate amount of wheat likely
to be produced in the three Northwest
err states, based upon the present out
look and conditions The results
Of threshing at number of
points, representative of the several
sections of the whole wheat area, must
first be obtained before a reliably ac-
curate estimate can be made
Harvesting" said he, 'fs now in
full blast and will occupy the general
attention for fortnight or more
season as the great majority of farm
ers are in need of money and the
high prices will induce them to push
their wheat promptly to market. Some
early fields are being threshed in the
southern sections, and threshing tests
in small way have been made in the
| central and northern belt Enough is
now known to Justify the prediction
that what appeared to be absolutely
low figures three week ago when 49,
100000 bushels was named as the max
lmum amount of wheat production for
the three states, will strike everybody
as having been extremely high when
actual results are made manifest
'On what grounds do you base your
pelleI llal theie Will pe IalllnS OIL
from the figures mentioned?"
Because I have received many re-
ports from reliable correspondents i'll
all sections where threshing has been
done or tests made and bundles ax-
amined, and seventy-fve per cent of
the reports indicate material falling
off from anticipated yields. In my
judgment as threshing proceeds and
the yields are reported it will be found
that the average yield per acre has
been overestimated, and that the out

Northern will be strengthened in every
way. While the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific have some stockho- d.
ers in common all parties in interest
in either company recognized that each
property must be allowed to stand Oh
it's own merits and none of them wish
to see any other policy followed
Although no official word was rc-
ceived at the general offices of the COM
pany touching on the matter yesterday,
the news spread quickly and was well
coined by those of the officials who are
here as being an excellent selection,
and as well, step putting an end to
the uncertainty which has been hang
ing over the general office building
since the Winter resignation was ten
dered. 1t was noted with pleasure,
generally, that President Mellen is a,
brother-in-law of Traffic Manager Ham
natord and personal friend of GEN
eral Manager Kendrick
A friend of Mr.. Underwood said last
night, however, thathe would not think
OF resigning his position on the 500.
and that possibly the matter was out
of the question in the composition of
Mr.. Mellen's staff Although nothing

in the Northwest if General Manager

NELLEN ELECTED PRESlDEN
Hartford Railroad Man Chosen to Succeed E. w.
Winter, of the Northern Pacific.

NEW YORK, Aug. &c. S. Mellen
was today elected president Of the
Northern Pacific Railway company.
Daniel S. Lamont was elected di-
rector and vice president
Mr. Mellen is the second vice presi-
dent of the New York, New Haven &5
Hartford railroad, and was formerly
general manager of the Union Pacific
railroad.
The office Of president of the North
ern Pacific was rendered vacant by the
resignation of Mr.. Winter Hitherto
there has been no vice president. Mr..
Lamont, it has long been rumored, was
to fill some office in the company. in
accepting the resignation of President
Winter, to take effect on Aug. 81, the
board of directors adopted a resolution
expressing it's high appreciation of Mr..
Winter.
1t is believed that President Mellen
will select Frederick D. Underwood as
general manager Of the Northern Pa
cific.
Mr. Lamont is supposed to represent
the Morgan interests in the Northern
Pacific and is regarded as especially
fitted for the task of assisting in the
active management of the property.
At the office of J. P. Morgan & Co., a
member of that firm said to repre-
sentative of the G o b e that the
change in the presidency was decisive
Indication that the Northern Pacific
will continue to run as an absolutely
independent property. Asked whether
Mr.. Lamont was to be considered as
particularly the friend of Mr.. Hill, of
the Great Northern, in the property,
the firm said that he was not, and that
Mr.. Lamont had been elected vice
president on account of the high re-
gard for him and respect for his ablll-
ties entertained by the Northern Pa
cific directors. 1t was also added that
the friendly relations which exist be-
tween the Northern Pacific and Great
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-08-13

are for the present, and, as Bulgaria
survived breach with Russia, she will
also survive a breach with Austria.
It is suggested that her masterful
premier, M. Stoiloff, wishes to embar-
rass Prince Ferdinand, who must
choose between dismissing his premier
and offending Austria. It is also aIleg-
ed that the sultan has urged Prince
Ferdinand to resist with a view of
creating diversion of European pres
sure now exercised upon Turkey with
reference to the peace treaty.
M. Stoiloff's antipathy to Austria is
notorious; while the relations between
the Austrian court and Prince Ferdi-
nand had already ceased entirely. the
Emperor Francis Joseph having obsti-
nately refused to receive the prince.
Russia, according to dispatch from
st. petersburg in the Politische Corre-
spondence, declines to give the slightest
assistance to declara ton of Bulgarian
independence, and the dispatch saws
that all the powers, desiring the preser-
walton Of peace, would equally resist
such a step.
