NORTHERN PACIFIC WINS.

New York. Jan. 2O.-The Herald says:
The fate of the Seattle & Information
al road was decided when 1t was an
nounced that 9. sufficient number OF
Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern bonds,
through which the road is controlled.
had been acquired by Messrs. Moore
and Schelly on behalf of the Northern
Pacific company to upset the plans of
the Canadian Pacific. Agents of the
Canadian Pacific had been on still
hunt for several weeks among the own
ers Of the bonds with the object of
securing lease of the Seattle road In
exchange for an interest guaranty and
cash payment of $50 a bond, with an
option of purchase at 7Ih. They had
secured the assent Of a large number
Of owners before the Northern Pacific
became aware of what was going on,
and 1t was only last Saturday that ac-
tive measures were begun to checkmate
the movement of the Canadian Pacific.
The interest Of the Northern Pacific
In the matter IL somewhat greater
than has hitherto appeared on the sur
face. 1t will he recalled that before
the Northern Pacific went into the
hands of receivers 1t guaranteed the
bonds of the Seattle. Lake Shore &
Eastern. and that when the Northern
Pacific became insolvent, the guaranty
was supposed to have lapsed.
The holders OF the bonds, however,
still unsettled. There were also other
claims against the Northern Pacific
which were troublesome and therefore
under these conditions the Northern
Pacific directors were advised that
should the road pass into the hands of
the Canadian Pacific. claims might be
pushed with unpleasant energy, and
with grave possibility that they
might be collected. This would mean
an enforced expenditure OF several MIL

would receive nothing. Furthermore,

SETTLES AN AMERICANS BILL.
siamese Government Has n U. 8. warship
as u Persuader to Fairness.

San Francisco, Jan. 20.-The special
correspondent of the Associated Press
at Bangkok. Siam, writes as follows
under date of November 10, 1897:
The long awaited and much debated
decision of the arbitrators in the mat
ter of the assault upon Mr.. Il. V. KEEL
lett, United States vice consul, by Sia-
mese soldiers at Chiengmal, on No
vember 10, 1896, was published yester.
day In the Government Gazette for the
first time. and this morning an Eng
lish translation was posted in the
American legation.
Shortly after the assault, Mr.. John
Barrett, the United states minister
resident and consul general, opened
negotiations by demanding and in
vestigation by n mixed commission,
which Siam promptly refused. The
arrival of the gunboat Matthias In Feb
rury, 1897, however opened the eyes of
the Siamese and hnstened negotiations,
for when Minister Barrett proposed TO
call the commission a board OF arbitra-
ton, Siam yielded. The Matthias then
left the river and the board OF arbitra-
ton, composed of Mr.. Barrett and NJ.
Orts, who represented the Siamese gov
eminent, soon afterward proceeded to
investigate the matter. sitting both at
Bangkok and Chengmai. After n TWEEN
ty days session, the commission agreed
upon decision without an umpire and
the result is decided victory for Mr..
Barrett.
While the commission finds that the
conduct OF the officers and soldiers who
committed the assault was to "a GER
tain extent excusable from the excite
ment resulting from the unusual and
imprudent steps taken by Mr.. Kel,ett
In releasing his servant from the custo-
dy OF the authorities, after he had been
arrested. II was greed that the Siamese
government should apologize and pledge
Itself to punish the offenders. The OH
GERS In command of the troops are to be
publicly reprimanded and degraded In
rank, while the men are to be deprived
Of their pay for three months.

of six inches. The rain fall which
ceased before daylight amounted to
2.24 inches, and it came SO heavily as
to overflow the rivers. Heavy winds
prevailed throughout the night, and
today the temperature IL falling, both
of which conditions operate to lessen
the danger Of flood. According to

general heavy rain in or about the
headwaters. Al Pomeroy the river
was reported stationary at 2S feet this
morning with hard rains all night. the
weather being like April. Much dam

in these localities have packed their
belongings preparatory to flight. Dur
ing last night the rise was three feet,
but the rain has ceased and the rise
this morning was not so great. AT
noon the reading at the locks was %
feet 2 inches.

dnmage was done throughout the

GERMANS TALK OF WAR.
A Position that Is Virtually Challenge to
Great Britain.

Berlin, Jan. 20.-A significant article
In the Cologne Gazette asserts that ac-
cording to international law, Kiao Chau
is German property. and an attack up
on 1t would enable Emperor William to
declare war without consulting the
bundesrath. The paper says. further
more than being leased territory in
political sense, 1t remains as before,
foreign territory. Therefore commercial
and customs treaties between either
China and European states, or between
Germany and other nations. have no
validity there, and consequently sor-
eign states cannot appeal to tn favored
nation clauses or claim similar rights to
those granted Germany. while Germany
is in a position to regulate the customs
and commercial relations quite unre-
servedly If she thinks proper.
