North Pa cific Reorganization.

c. S. Mellen was yesterday elected presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. Daniel S. Lamont was elected direc-
tor and vice president
Both gentlemen will enter on their duties
Sept /. Mr. Mellen was born Aug. 16, 1851
at Lowell, Mass. He entered the railroad
service when a boy of eighteen as a clerk
in the cashiers office of the Northtrn New
Hampshire Railroad. From March 1872, to
January, 1873, he was clerk to the chief en-
gineer of the Central Vermont at St. AL
bans. Later he was superintendent clerk
cashier, chief clerk and assistant treasurer
of the Northern New Hampshire road. 1t
is believed that President MelFen will select
Frederick d. Underwood as general mana
ger.
Mr.. Lamont is supposed to represent the
Morgan interest in the Northern Pacific and
is regarded as especially fitted for the task
OF assisting in the active management of
the property.
At the New York office of ]. P. Morgan
Co., Mr.. Coster of that firm said to
representative of the Associated Press that
the change in the presidency was decisive
indication that the Northern Pacific will
continue to run as an absolutely independ-
ent property. Asked whether Mr.. Lamont
was to be considered as particularly the
friend of Mr.. Hill. of the Great Northern,
in the property. Mr.. Coster replied that he
was not, and that Mr.. Lamont had been
elected vice president on account of the
high regard for him and respect for his
abilities entertained by the Northern Pa
cific directors. Mr.. Coster added that the
friendly relations which exist between the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern will be
continued and strengthened in every way.
While the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific have some stockholders in common,
all parties in interest in either company
recognized that each property must be al
lowed to stand on it's own merits and none
of them wishes to see any other policy fol-
lowed.

In freight circles the belief prevails that
at no time in many years has business In
all directions been carried at so near tariff
rates as at present. Traffic, both east and
west-bound is heavy, and the roads are
taxed to the utmost capacity to handle it.
Crops in the West are heavy and despite
reports of a large damage to corn in some
sections, the roads are assured of large
business from all sections. Large crops
We're held over from last year. and with
the advent of better prices, they will be
promptly moved out. In addition to this,
States that have heretofore been con-
sidered almost exclusively reproducing
districts have large crops u. wheat, and
this will add to the volume of traffic. The
consequence is that there is more competi-
ton among shippers for room than there
is among the railroad companies for ton
mage. Rates are therefore well maintained,
solely because there is no reason for cut
ting. The roads making large earnings
and will very possibly pay larger dividends
the coming year than they have for some
time past. All available rolling stock is
being put in condition to hande the traffic,
shops are working full time and with full
forces. But even with this, it is not be-
lieved that the rolling stock at present
owned by the Western roads viii be suf-
fcent to supply all requiren ents promptly.
For this reason some of the roads are maxi
ing inquiries for new eCutDE emit aid car
builders are looking for Ds',Sfi from this
increase in traffic.

New York, March IA Herald spec
ial from Washington says:
Consul-General Lee has demanded
that General Washington Scott, an
American, under arrest in Cuba, be
turned over to the civil Jurisprudence
of the island for trial. This action
was taken in accordance with instruc-
tions sent to- the consul-general by
Secretary Olney Immediately after the
former official reported that as g, result
Of resolutions, Captain General Weyler
has ordered the release of the prisoner
from the state of incommunicado, in
which he had been placed from the
time of his arrest.
General Lee has been directed to
press his demands that the provisions
of the protocol and treaty between
the United States and Spain be re-
spected, and state department officials
are confident that within the next few
days they will learn that Scott has
been turned over to the civil courts
for trial.
Mr.. De LONE still declares that Scott
is a spy; but then if this charge be
true, state department officials point
out, the prisoner was arrested with
out arms in his hand and he there
fore must, under the protocol and
treaty between the two governments,
be tried by the civil courts, and not
by an extraordinary tribunal.
The case of George Washington
Aguirre, who gave himself up under
the amnesty proclamation issued by
General Weyler, has been carefully
watched by the state department, al
though some senators claim that it
has been derelict in this respect.
Strong representations made by Cen
erai Lee by direction of the state de-
partment caused a reference of his
case to the civil court
State department officials say that it
now depends upon his counsel whether
he shall secure an early trial on the
charges of rebellion pending against
him.
Secretary Olney will reply before the
expiration of his term of Office to the
representations made by the Spanish
government in answer to the demand
of this government for an investigation
of the Ruiz case.
/ am told that the department has
been informed by Minister De LONE
and Minister Taylor that the Spanish
show conclusively that
DR.. Ruiz died from natural causes
and, Furthermore, the report is signed
by a person holding an American cit
izenship.
This testimony is surprising to state
department officials. They had ex-
Dected that the Spanish government
would advance some testimony show
ing that as the result of an investiga-
ton made, DR.. Ruiz was not murdered,
nor had died from the treatment re-
ceived. The action of the Spanish gov
in securing the signature of
an American to the report was, of
course, a bold diplomatic stroke. and
was done for the purpose of offsetting
the findings of DR.. Burgess of the |
American Marine hospital service, sta
toned in Havana.

where the Turkish garrison has been
blockaded for number of days. The
Moslems made sortie, bus the insur-
gents were prepared for just such move.
and attacked the party furiOusly, finally
driving them back. During the fighting
a heavy fire was directed upon the
Christians from the Turkish arsenal in
Canea. 1t had, however, very little eff

fight.
Further fighting has occurred in the

of Heraklon. has given permission to
the Turks to leave the place. in order that
they may cultivate the lands adjacent

looked upon with suspicion by many
Moslems, they believing that it is his in

The Kneehs Trouble.

Berlin. Feb. 2S.-Sporting circles are
still deeply concerned in the question.
what is to be done with the mare Nell
lie Kneebes, alias Bethel, which was
confiscated by the Prussian state after
the arrest of Bob Kneebs, the Ameri-
can trotting horse owner, on charges
of ringing" and was condemned to be
sold "a cover the expenses of Kneeb's
prosecution. A protest has now been
lodged by Kneebs son-in-law against
the enforced sale of the mare by auc-
ton. his plea being that he is the real
owner OF Bethel, and that the mare
must be given up to him if the court
holds that it is really Bethel which
the authorities have in their possession.
The question will be fought out in
the Berlin civil court. In the mean
time, Kneebs is confined in the Ploet-
zensee prison, and it is generally hoped
that he will be one of the number who
will be benefited by the amnesty which
will be granted to certain prisoners
upon the occasion of the centenary
of Emperor William /, on March %.
