DOES NOT PAY
RaceiverShip Proceedings Insti-
tuted Against the Wisconsin -
Ceseral Company.
Differences Between Trustees as
to the Course 10 Be
Pursued,
But No Difference as to the Fact
of the Insolvency Of the
Company. 49,.
Only q Small Portion Of Interest
on Bonds Has Been Paid
Since 1896.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. l. -Receivership
proceedings have been instituted
against the Wisconsin Central railroad
company, the solvent interest, thus
far, of the Wisconsin Central lines, in
the United States court.
The proceeding is the direct result of
the existing differences between the
trustees, Edwin II. Abbot and John a.
Stewart. There is no difference, how
ever, as to the insolvency of the COM
pany, the dispute being as to the
method to be pursued. Mr.. Abbot
wished to have it brought in under the
original proceeding against the Wiscon-
sin Central company and he protested
strongly, but Judge Seaman finally
concluded to allow the bill to be fled,
and requiring the parties to show
cause before Judge Jenkins in Septem-
Der, why receivers should not be ap-
pointed. The bill presents the bond
issue of July i, 1871, under which there
is now outstanding $3,675, 900 of the
first series, and s., l34, 800 of the Sec
ond series. The first securities
draw interest at PER cent, the Sec
ond bearing interest at u rate not
exceeding per cent, and pay
able only out of the net earnings,
after the interest of tho first series has
been paid, and after the sum of $780,
600 per annum has been set aside for
permanent repairs. Tae interest on
S., 469, 500 has been paid regularly from
time to time, but default has existed
upon first series bonds amounting 10
81, 205, 500 since July l, 1895, and no
interest has ever been paid upon the
second series. The prayer bill asserts
that Mr.. Abbot was asked to join i'll
the suit, but he refused. The prayer
asks for the appointment of Howard
Morris and Henry F. Whitcomb as re.
ceivers with the usual powers.

the following to say about the Thir.
teenth Minnesota regiment, which had
just arrived there, en- route to the Phil
lppines:
''In the middle Of the afternoon the
Minnesota regiment, which may be
called one of the very best in the serv-
ice, was guided to the base ball park by
Lieutenant Coyne of the N. G. Fl.
Here Colonel McC. Reeve drilled his
three battallons for an hour, and moth.
ing like it i'll the military line was ever
bel ore seen on Hawaiian soil. Every
command was executed promptly in
unison and with a snap and confidence
that bespoke hours upon hours of ear
nest work In the earlier days of the or
ganization. All who saw the Mime
sofa regiment drill would like to have
another view of it in motion. The
command was given cheer after cheer

Nevertheless.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-General Mer.
yitt has again cabled the war depart
,nent relative to the situation in Ma
MIA, which he finds very unsatisfac'
tory and dangerous, owing to the
attitude of the insurgents. In the
opinion of General Merritt the attitude
OF the insurgents there is similar to
that assumed by Garcia's Cubans upon
the question of their right to enter and
possess themselves Of the city, although
III this case the insurgents are very
much more formidable element, being
not only more numerous, but better
armed, filed with the arrogance fol.
lowing numerous victories over their
S anish foes. General Merritt, how
ever, indicates that he will do his ut
most to protect the citizens from the
saw gerry Of the insurgents, though his
task is delicate and difficult one, be-
cause of the fact that he must, while
