Plan For the Reorganization of the
Midland.

New York, June 22.-The plan for the
reorganization for the Colorado Mid
land Railroad company was issued to-
day. 1t contains a provision for re-
leasing any claim consolidated mort
gage bondholders upon the guarantee
of the Atchison. Topeka 81 Santa Fe
Railroad company. The Atchison re-
linquishes all claims for advances made
TO the Colorado & Midland and with
draws any claim which it might make
to certain valuable property with re-
spect to which it is doubtful whether or
not the Midland mortgages constitute
q lien.
The main feature fthe plan is a.
cash assessment of Is per cent Of the
par value Of the consolidated per cent
bonds. for which viii be given first
mortgage As at par This is expected
to yield enough TO supply the present
cash demands of the property. Holders
of other first mortgage skies viii be
asked TO accept a 4 per cent bond.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-The Welsh newspapers are
occupied with tho woes OF q number of Welsh
men who went to Canada last spring to work on
the Gro 3 Nest section of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad. 1t seems that those emigrants are a
superior class OF men, 80 superior, In fact. that
their refined souls revolted at finding that they
would have to work twelve hours . day. eat
coarse food. and sleep In rough sheds or In the
open air. The fact that the Canadian workmen
had to do tho same thing ID not regarded as O
justification.
Judged by tho remarks of the Welsh press.
the Canadians are common clay, whereas the
Welshmen are tho very finest. Emigration
to Canada is therefore in great disfavor. and the
scheme for the formation of n big Welsh agri-
cultural colony, on the lines of the Scotch Crofter
settlements. Is not now likely to succeed. The
Canadian Government agent, Mr.. Grifith. at
Cardiff, has cabled the facts to Ottawa, and has
received a reply that the Government will make
inquiries. &c.
