the people Of this city, and especially
the railroad people, as the legal repre-
sentative of Receiver Andrew F. Bur-
leigh, came here yesterday from
Gotham, and is registered at the Ryan

He is authority for the statement that
he came on business of a private ma

the big transcontinental line. Asked for
the sentiment in New York anent the
Northern Pacific railroad situation, Mr..
Underwood says that he has heard all
manner of talk down East, but that
few, if any, people save the Northern
Pacific directors who have the matter
in hand, are in position to know any
more how matters stand than the ST.

could say nothing. He will remain here
several days and may possibly visit the
West before going back to New York.
