The gross earnings of the Great
Northern for October were $S,416.555,
an increase of $215,S76 over October,
1898 From July / to Nov. l the gross
earnings were s11 ,093,672, an increase of

same period of 1898. For October the
earnings We're S3,415,765, an increase Of
$20S649.
1t is remarkable that during the
month just past these two great lines
should show a statement of gross earn
ings so nearly alike. The difference is
only $3.50. The increase, however, dur
ing the month favors the Great North
ern by 1927, very small matter.
Activity in Baltimore & Ohio has
started several rumors of surprising
character, says a Wall street dispatch.
One of these is that the Baltimore q
Ohio will enter into some arrangement
with the Union Pacific. This rumor has
been extended to include the North
west In this way the Omaha would
furnish the connecting link between the
Great Northern and Baltimore & Ohio.
All this is Hypothetical. Another rumor
is that the Baltimore & Ohio and Alton
will have close traffic arrangements TO
include the Kansas City, Pittsburs &
Gulf, thus perfecting a transcontinental
system from the seaboard to the gull
A more substantial rumor is that the
Baltimore & Ohio is negotiating with
the Jersey Central and Reading to run
it's own trains from Philadelphia to
New York. This rumor emanates from
sources familiar with the Baltimore &
Ohio situation.
The contemplated extension of the
Northern Pacific's Bitter Root branch
will be commenced at once and will be
built to Camas Prairie during the Win
ter if the weather will permit. The de-
mand for logging transportation is the
incentive for the hurry up orders that
have been issued, and the road will at
once obtain a heavy traffic from this
source. 1t is the intention of the North
ern Pacific to extend this branch next
spring UP the Bitter Root river as far
as Mineral Hill.-St. Paul Pioneer

The plan of the commission is to sell

OF selling the bonds at par, and the
proposition therefore resolves itself into
enc OF getting capital to take hold of

made. The gentlemen held an infor-

evening, at which the scheme Of the
commission was placed before certain
OF Butte's moneyed men, whose names

the locality interested is not allowed to

done. the gentlemen interviewed agreed
TO take the matter under consideration
and give the commission a decision in

Chairman Marshall in speaking Of the
proposition last evening, was hopeful
that the commission would be able to
carry it through He said:
IF the plan we have in hand now
is carried out it will be great thing
for that particular part of the state
affected. No, I would not like to state
Just where we contemplate building the
canal. for the reason that it might af-
feet the successful contamination OF
our plans, but if we succeed in floating
the bonds about $1,000 acres of as fine
land as lays out of doors will be re-
claimed for settlement. The contract
for building canal near Big Timber
that will reclaim $4,000 acres Of land
has already been let. If this deal goes
through we shall have tconsummated
the reclamation of about $4,000 acres
and we have plans outlined for going
ahead on the same lines and reclaim
ing the whole 100000 acres the Carey
act gives the state if we succeed in
reclaiming that much. At present the
prospects seem very bright for reaping
a vastgbenefit from the reclamation Of
these lands"

gon Short Line returned from his tour
of inspection over the road late Mon
day night, says the Salt Lake Herald.
He said yesterday afternoon that the
work on the St Anthony branch had
reached Rexburg, a station about -
miles from st. Anthony. The rest of
the construction will be pushed vigor-
ously, tand the road will undoubtedly
be completed by the end of the present
month.
No definite action has as yet been
taken in regard to the placing of Boise
on the main line.
It is rumored that c. Shields, vice
president of the Spokane Falls g. North

system, and assistant superintendent Of
the Western division of that road, has
been asked for his resignation. Vice
President Shields at one time was gem

THE SAMOAN TREATY.
Great Britain and Germany Rerounce All
Rights to Tutuila.

Rights to Tutuila.
Washington, Nov. 23.-Two treaties
for the final partition of the Samoan
islands have been drawn and one of
them already has been signed. The
main treaty is tri-lateral in character
between the United States, Great Brit
ain and Germany, by which the terri
torial arrangement of the islands is
fixed. 1t is brief, comprising only about
four or five articles. Great Britain and
Germany renounce all claims in the
island OF Tutuila and the outlying ISL
ands, which so to the United States,
and this government and Great Britain,
renounce interest in Upolu and Savaii,
which go to Germany. The present eX-
pectation is that this treaty will be
signed in Washington, il which case
Secretary Hay and Ambassadors
Pauncefote and Won Holleben will be
the signatory parties, although it is still
possible that the execution of the docu-
ment may occur in London.
The second treaty is between Great
Britain and Germany and is longer than
the first, covering the rights in this and
the Tonga and Solomon islands and
other settlements brought about by the
Samoan partition. The United States
does not sign this treaty, and is only
indifferently concerned. 1t is under
stood that this collateral treaty has al
ready been executed in Berlin and that
the signing of the tri-lateral treaty will
bring to a close the negotiations for
the division of the islands.

STRIKE IN DELAWARE COTTON MILLS.
Viewers Ask for Higher Wages and I75
Hands are out of Work.

Waavers Ask for Higher Wages and I75
Hands are out of Work.
On account of the refusal Of General
Manager Melville Gambrill to grant y
demand for an increase in the pay for
piece work, the 100 weavers employed
at the Delaware Cotton Mills, Ninth
ward, stopped work Monday afternoon
and the mills shut down, leaving IT'S
hands without employment.
The mills were formerly tine Arlington
Mills which have been closed for several
years. They were reopened about the
first of July. About 1886 looms have
been put into use of the 500 in the
plant. Matters went on smoothly until
about month ago when tho weavers
asked for an advance of five cents cut
on material they were then RECEIVING
40 cents cut for. Manager Gambriil
granted the advance.
More recently, the management de-.
cidod to make u finer quality of goods,
the poorer quality having been used in
getting the establishment into opera
tion. For the finer quality OF goods, it
was proposed to pay 65 cents a cut,
which is about 51la yards. Tho claim
of the weavers is that Tor this kind of
work, other establishments pay So cents
q cut. The answer of the management
to this is that considering various eie-
ments that should be considered, the
other establishments pay not more than
q cents in proportion, and one 10 par.
tlcular has a system of docking en-
ployes, so that the 65 cents paid here
would be very nearly equal to the IS
cents given there. The management
felt also that as tho mills were lust
being brought up again they could
scarcely be expected to match the
wages of long established factories.
The request of the weavers for the
increase was discussed by Manager
Gambrill and committee from the
weayers in the office of the works Mon
day afternoon. 1t was without i'll
feeling on either side. In addition to
the increase on the finer quality of
goods the weavors desired al, increase
OF . cents on the poorer quality for
which they had received the raise
about month ago. Mr.. Gambrill said
further increase was out OF the cues
tion for that, and no gave the Same
decision concerning the better quality.
He desired the employees to continue nj
work until he could bring the matter
before the directors, but when the com
mittee reported back to the hands, It
was decided to go out at once, Tho
mills were therefore shut down Mon.
day afternoon.
