Lamont to he Vice President.

Conferences during the latter part OF last
week in New York settled in a way that
is understood to be satisfactory to all
concerned the interests of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railroads.. 1t
was decided that an operating man should
be made president of the Northern Pacific,
and that Daniel S. Lamont should be vice
president and take active part in the man.
agement of the Northern Pacific property.
The syndicate which purchased the reor-
ganization stock last spring, and which is
composed of Jacob Schiff, William Rookie
Teller, u. Willis James, Col. Oliver Payne,
Daniel s. Lamont, John S. Kennedy, the
Deutsche Bank Of Berlin, Lord Mount
Stephen of Boston, James Stillman of New
York, James j. Hill of the Great Northern,
and others, will be represented in the new
directory. The announcement will be made
within a fortnight of the details of the adj
justment of relations between these COM
panies, togther with the name of the new
president. The new president has already
been selected and is connected with an
Eastern system in which j. +. Morgan q
Co. are largely interested. The adjustment
is one that is regarded as harmonizing all
the differences of management in the
Northern Pacific and the Great Northern,
1t was the contention Of j. p. Morgan in
the conferences referred to that an operat-
Northern Pacific, and this was finally
agreed to. 1t may be positively stated that
ex-Secretary Lamont will accept the vice
presidency and the responsibilities that will
be entailcd upon him by the office under
the arrangements just completed.

Troubles of Western Roads.

The Western roads We're greatly disturbed
yesterday by a report that the situation in
the West was very much unsettled as to
commissions. 1t was asserted that the
Union Pacific has been paying large COM
missions on North Pacific coast business
The other roads declared that it was doing
thisi in order to protect it's business in that
direction, which has not been so heavy
since it's relations with the Oregon Short
line We're severed as before that time. The
matter will be considered at the meeting
of the Western Passenger Association,
which is to be held in Chicago to-day.
a meeting of the advisory committee of
the Western Passenger Association has
been called for at Chicago on Thursday of
this week. The most important matter
that will come up for consideration is the
withdrawal of the Union Pacific from the
association. The right of the Union Pacific
to pull out of the association at any time
it might desire is not questioned by any
of the roads, but they are very anxious to
have it in the fold once more, particularly
as rates in the association territory west
of the Missouri river have not been in a
very satisfactory condition ever since the
Union Pacific pulled out of the association.
The disturbed conditions of the rates are
not attributed to anything the Union Pa
citc has done, but it creates an uneasy
feeling among the other roads to have a
powerful competitor like the Union Pacific
on the outside of the agreement.

neuned the committee OF his intention,
as stated. TO which he replied that he
had seen Governor Hcadley. special
counsel for the government In the cases.
VINO was directed last week to make the
communication 10 the Reorganization
committee. He also said that the appn-
cdtlon would be made TO Judge Sanborn

sale not OF the main line only. but Of lie
Kansas Division lines also. He further
said that the government had been very

The Acknowledgement declines TO state
what other propositions had been re-
ce'ved. or by whom made. but II is GER
tan that the sum expected TO be re-
allied Is considerably I'm excess OF the
guarantee Of the Reorganization Com
mittee. That guarantee the Attorney
General says. remains In full force not
withstanding the postponement OF the
sale.
No serious opposition TO the consum-
nation OF the sale on the part of Con-
gress Is anticipated by the department.

NORFOLK MAYNARD.
Accommodation Of New Dry-Docls
md Other improvements.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., October d.
Mathews. Chief OF Bureaus and Docks.
10 the Secretary Of the Navy. has been
issued to-day. He recommends the con-
struction of four new dry-docks, one OF
which is to be at Norfolk. Referring TO
Norfolk. ne says this yard is the most
important south Of New York, and yet
has no means Of docking q battleship.
Therefore. n first-class dock is estimated
for. at a total cost of $l.250.Oo0, $50. 900 OF
which is TO be expended the current year.
Chief Mathews says the electric-light-
ing power of the yard is insufficient for
the yards growing needs. II is desired
to increase IL by degrees, and for this
purpose an appropriation OF NO.0W is
asked for.
In the southern waters. he says the
teredo Is very active. and unless the
quay walls are extended. some OF the
wooden wharves will have TO be renewed
at great exense. simply to last a few
years. when the work will have TO be
repeated az the teredo attacks any
wood exposed 10 the direct flow of salt
water. Therefore. the sum OF $5OOW Is
requested for the extension Of quay
walls. These walls are founded on plies
that are cut off % feet below the coping.
IL is this that makes them much more ex-
pensfve than those in the northern ports.
The present ship-ftters' shop is aDout
1000 feet away from the dry-docks, ana II
would save great deal of time and ex-
pense connected with work on ships In
docks 90 have a smaller one near the
docks Estimate for one $4,000
The tracks for the Acton travelling
crane at the present time extend around
the wooden deck only, but II Is desired
10 extend them around the granite dock
also The estimate for this IL $1,000 IN
the Notwithstanding shop there are
no means OF handling the heavy weights
SO a Acton overhead travelling crane mas
been estimated for, at s23,A
The water supply Of the yard Is de-
rived from Artesian wells, from wnich
the water has to be pumped There Is
no reserve In case Of accident so IL ~
desired TO put in an elevator tank Tor
reserve 10 hold 10000 gallons, or about
three days supply. Estimate $lSoo0.
TO continue and keep in repair grazing
and paving-estimste. $4,000.
Further. Chief Mathews gives the de-
tails of the work and improvements at
the Norfolk yard in the way or quay
walls and foundation piles, the painting
of buildings. and the repair or FOOLS
cutters, and drains.
