Hale says they are so absolutely false

His statement says;
There Is absolutely no foundation for

The statement about Objectionable
conduct Of the troops OF the second expe-

Their behavior was remarkably good-so
much 50 as to attract the unanimous and
unstinted praise Of the people Of Homo
lulu, who said that while the nrst exps-
dition behaved well. the second was svea
better. The enviable reputation WHICH
the Colorado regiment earned In San
Francisco for discipline and general good
conduct was more than sustained In Hon

cious correspondent. This feeling II

RAILROAD DIFFERENCES
WILL BE PATCHED UP.
The Fight Between the Hill and MOrgan
Factions in a Fair Way Of Ad-
justment.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-The Press says
1t is said on the authority Of an officer
OF the Northern Pacific that the fight be-
tween the J. P. Morgan and the ]. ]
Hill factions has been settled as far az
the payment Of dividend on the common
stock OF that railroad Is concerned
1t was agreed yesterday that DIVIDEND
will be paid on the common stock. Ths
president of the COMPANY will recon-
mend it and the directors yesterday
agreed to consider the recommendation
favorably. The directors meet in Novem-
Der. when the subject will be considered
formally.
The controversy between the factions
as to the status Of the Oregon snort Llns
on through business as affecting the
Northern Pacific and the Great Northern
remains unsettled. and 1t is on this point
that several bitter letters have passed
UtNNtGH TIE lMO AaNtlphS. Ah0 ANNchL
election Of directors Of that company in
dicates that that question, too. win be
settled amieably.
The authority for these statements is
a director of the Northern Pacific who is
also a member Of the executive com
mittee Of that railroad. For various rea-
sons he refuses the use Of his name in
connection with the statement. He
pointed out that the railroad under its
agreement must pay four per cent On
the preferred stock before dividend On
the common stock can be declared. Such
a dividend has been paid and it is ex-
pected at the directors meeting in No
vember that one per cent quarterly
dividend on the common stock viii be
authorized.
