ly to discussion of the operation

PRESIDENT.
IS SOUTH JUST AT PRESENT.
TO ASSUME HIS DUTIES, so THE
STORY GOES, WITHIN SIXTY
DAYS.
A TRAFFIC ALLIANCE is INVOLVED.
In Some Quarters the Canadian
Pacific Is Said to Be Also in the
Deal.

NEW YORK, April THE Mail and
Express says: Of1cial confirmation was
given today to the report that Col
Daniel S. Lamont secretary of war I'M
der President Cleveland, is to be plac-
ed at the head of the Northern Pacific
within sixty days. The title Of Col
Lamont will be president, and it is
thought his headquarters will be in
this city.
Col. Lamont is at present travelling in
the South, and he is not expected back
in this city for several days. His cleo
ton to the important position as execu-
suit Of the proposed close traffic alli-
ance which is to be formed between the
Great Northern and that company. The
control of the Northern Pacific recent
~ passed into the hands Of a foreign
syndicate, through the Chase National
bank, of this CITY, Of which the
Deutsche Bank of Berlin is one of the
leading holders: James j. Hill, of the
Great Northern, is a member of the
syndicate, and it is proposed to bring
the great Northwestern properties into
a traffic alliance, whereby the North
western and transcontinental rate stu
alton will be rendered firm.
Under the proposed arrangement,
which is now said to be under consid-
Grafton in Europe, the two great sys-
TENS will work in harmony Col La
monts selection for the presidency Of
n
President Hills friendship for him. 1t
is known that some time ago President
Hill endeavored to get Col. Lamont to
take the first vice presidency of the
Great Northern, but he declined. Just
before Col. Lamont went South he is
known to have met President Hill, who
was then on his way to Europe, and
the matter was closed up. Col. La
mont has had no railroad experience,
but his peculiar fitness, ability and ac-
quaintance will, IT is said enable him
to brilliantly discharge his new duties
There are signs that the proposed
combination will include also the Cana
dian Pacific, but this has not yet been
settled. Certain prominent Englishmen
are interested in both the Great North
y.
This would permit an interchange Of
traffic that would be mutually benefi-
cial. The Canadian Pacific has the adj
vantage of the other companies east
of st. Paul, since it reaches the At
lantic seaboard and taps several large
Eastern cities. The Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, on the other hand.
reach several important Pacific coast
points in the Northwest In which the
Canadian Pacific is shut out.
The coming alliance, whether it is
between the three companies or simply
between the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern, will make possible a
curtailment of the service on the Pa
cif1c coast and the adjustment OF the
rate wars which for a long time have
been in existence between the steam
boat companies, resulting In losses all

W. D. Collins was tried in the police court
yesterday for the alleged theft of three hats,
the property of Miss Albertina Olsen, living at
597 York street. Collins lives in the same
house, and it claimed he had taken the
feminine headgear from the young woman's
room. The evidence was insufficient to estab-
lish the charge and Collins was dicharged.
George Caulfeld arrested on the charge of
assault and battery, preferred by Miss Lizzie
Houston, was discharged in the police court
yesterday, the prosecuting witness failing to
appear.
Joseph l.. Hort, the proprietor of cigar
store al SOP st. Peter street, was tried in the
municipal court yesterday on the charge of
assault and battery lodged against him by
his wife. The evidence showed the assault
not to have been a very serious affair and
Judge Towhy placed the accused under bonds
to keep the peace, when he was discharged.
Harry Turnbull, claiming to live with his
parents at 2S1S Eighteenth avenue south,
Minneapolis and A. Smith, also of Minneap-
oils, were yesterday sentenced to the work

AGREEMENT SENT BACK.
Plan for n New Western Passenger
Association Not satisfactory.

CHICAGO, April THE general passenger
agents of the Western roads did not adopt an
agreement for the Western Passenger associ-
alton today. The committee that has had
the agreement under consideration for the
last ten days presented its report and contrary
to the general expectation 1t was not as &C
ceptable as 1t was expected that it would be-
It was round that the proposed agreement did
not cover as much ground as the majority of
the roads desired, and it was thought that
an agreement could be formed that would in
clude some things which the committee had
not recommended and which yet would be en-
tirely within the scope of the decision of the
supreme court. In order to prevent any series
of references back and forth between the at
torneys of the roads and the general passen-
ger agents, 1t decided that a committee
of the passenger men should go over the agree
ment in company with the attorneys and that
they should endeayor to get as much of the
old agreement into the new agreement as is
possible, and at the same time keep within
the scope Of the court decision. The combined
committee of passenger agents and attorneys
will report to the general meeting next Tues
day.
A rate of II cents per 100 pounds has been
fixed by the board Of managers Of the Joint
Canadian frontier from the mills The rate
viii be operative from all mill points in the
territory of the association.
Freight traffic officials Of the Western roads
and those engaged in transcOntinental bust
well, feeling none too confident
over the prospect Of keeping up rates. AS
soon as any road endeavors to work any sharp
games upon its competitors, ii will be dragged
without ceremony before the interstate COM
merce commission, II there is anything in its
conduct that will make such a proceeding pos
sible but just now this Is not having the
terrifying effect that it was thought it would
exercise. Several of the roads are becoming
somewhat FESTIVE over the large amount Of
business that is going away from them and
to the standard lines. and they have intimated
very plainly that they will not endure the
conditions much longer, and If some measure
is not taken for their relief they will 90 after
the business best they know how. II this
programme is once begun there is no telling
where the decentralization will stop, as none
OF the roads are making so much on their
freight traffic at the present time that they
can afford to let any of 1t get away and they
are not disposed to part with any Of 1t with
out fight.
