THE NORTHERN PACIFIC

Was Expected.
New York, Sept. 20.-President Mellen
of the Northern Pacific says:
"Our annual report. to be submitted
this week, will be very satisfactory, much
more so than is anticipated. This is best
expressed by the statement that we have
earned fully per cent. on all the stock.
We will haul as much grain this year as

to which farmers are disposed to hold
their grain. This is especially true of Pa
cific coast farmers, though 1t is also no.
ticeable to less degree in the North
west.
THE farmers are we'll equipped. They
feel that they can we'll afford to hold
their grain. An evidence of this is seen
on our Washington and Columbia river
line, 100 miles long, where We have to

improvements of this character at Day
ten, Wash, and other points. If the
farmers would send their grain out stead
lily we would be saved this expense, but
as it is there is no help for 1T.
Hail destroyed many millions of BUSH
els, but the damage on our line by hail
is comparatively insignificant amounting
to not over 250000 bushels.
''The Union Pacific has not finally de-
cided to use our facilities between Ia
coma and Portland but if they do we will
make all the improvements necessary to
accommodate the increased traffic.

COMMITTEE ON TERRITORIES
Will Find Too rfuCh Business Has
 Been UnIoaded Upon If when Our New Foreign Possessions Are
 Released From Military Direc- lion n-r1aY NOf Be Done Imme- diafeIY. Hsxs

Washington. June 29.-The report that members of the admfnis tration are considering favorably the idea of establishing a special department to have supervision over inSular affairs h.lS some basis .n fact Of course. it is only a question of time when such q department, with a member of the ca5- inet at it's head, wiN have to be created. There s no immediate ne cessity for such department. for our insular possessions are now under military control and their aiIairs are administered by the secretary of war;
 But the president has thought more or less about what shall be done when military control ceases and when con- gress begins to legisTate for the per manent government of the new terri tory. Further than this. it cannot be safd ',hat the subject has been under serious consideration Any spee:al bureau to have immedia.ia contrOI of insular affairs under the general SUD- eryisi0n of the war department would be purely q matter of military admin istration and it may be found neces- Sary before congress takes hold of the
 business to relieve the secretsiry of war of part of h,s extra duties by the creation of q bureau of this kind. This is quite different however, from the creation of cabinet office It would be in way the oUtgrowth of the in- sular commission which has just re- turned from Cuba and POlto Rico
 AS soon as congress meets the ques- ton of q new cahinet office w.a.l doubt lsss ba ag,iated in comsac.ion with the other 'top:cs sI0wing out or une con trol of the island acquisitions. There is talk already among the leaders of the hOusd of repress sntativeS about creating special committee to have these rev problems in is keeping. All the questions at present come be fore the territorial committee, which was Iot created with any such far reaching object in view, and has been formed both in the house and in the senate with special reference to g.lre country west of the Mississippi If q committee on inSular affairs is not created. the committee on territories VIII have to be enlarged, the scope of its jurisdiction will have. to be greaiIy extended and the men who are placed upon it will have to be chosen from among the very strongest and nest representative members of congress.
 So far ats the proposed cabinet office goes. it is quite possible that it may be uIJted with the department of commerce. The creation of such a de- partment has been advocated for many years by Senator Frye and others aGd President Mckinley has expressed himself more than once as favoring u. The duties of the department of com merce might very well be merged in department for insular affairs.
