Offer Silver For Sale.

Mr.. Bailey declared that the logical
outcome of this bill would be to make
the millions of silver impounded in the
treasury into the open market and sell
it as Germany had done. If the sup
porters of the measure were honest
and consistent they would thus ofrer
the silver for sale now, as that would
be the inevitable fate of silver under
this bill He compared the apprecia-
ton of gold values and the correspond
ing depreciation OF cotton and wheat
Mr.. Bailey closed his speech with
stirring tribute to the time-honofed and
undying Democratic organization which
evoked applause from tie Democratic
side.

came a statement of -. Scudder

Mr.. Scudder said the main feature. eS-
tablishing a gold standard and giving
stability to values commended his sup
port.
Mr.. Payne On. W. said Mr. Bailey
had discovered nothing in the cold law
fixing the gold standard. The trouble
had been to have gentlemen On the
Democratic side accept that law and
the purpose of the present bill to re-
place the subject beyond further doubt
and misconstruction.
A Progressive Party.
Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.). said the Republican
party was a progressive party: il was
ready to meet the needs and demands

the experience of the weel, that Gen
eral Butler could fail.
Virtually nothing had been allowed
to leak through regarding his fDrepara-
tions, but the public waited patiently,
in the confident belief that he was taxi
ing such time and precautions as would
ensure success.
No independent reports of the en-
gagement have yet been allowed to
come through. but General Buffers own
dispatch tells the sad tale in sufficient
outline to show that the British have
been entrapped again by the astute
Beers. 1t was not anticipated that
General Butler would make a frontal
attack. No criticisms of his movements
are made, however. since. apparently.
he suffered a repulse rather than a de-
feat, and did not push the attack home,
but broke ii off in the middle SO as to
save a useless sacrifice of life. 1t is
expected that he will renew the attack
shortly.
Immediately on receiving the nf s
the war office decided to mobilize sdll
another division, and to replace the
losses of artillery. The necessary rein
forcements will be hurried off as speed
lily as possible. Fifteen transports are
due to arrive at Cape Town between
Dec. Il and Jan. S, with about 5000
troops of all arms, but unless General
Butler is able to renew the attack,
which is exceedingly doubtful. the Brit

This Meeting.

Washington. Dec 15.--The Payne res
olution for the reapportionment of dele
gates TO the national Republican con-
vention on the basis of the Republican
vote cast in the states and territories.
will not be pressed at this meeting of
the national committee. Up TO last
night Mr.. Payne had fully intended to
offer the resolution tomorrow and to
urge its adoption, but after a confer
ence with the president at the White
House tonight, at which Secretary Dick
and Governor Nash of Ohio were pres
ent. decided to abandon the effort to
have it acted on at this meeting.
Much opposition had developed to the
proposed change, and the conclusion
was reached that it was inexpedient to
push the matter at this time. Mr..
Payne will make a statement before
the committee in the morning, setting
forth the reasons which prompted him
to reach the decision stated.

VOTING TRgsF DIssoEvED.
New Deal In Oregon Railway & Nav
1KntfOn Affairs

NEW YORK, July Is. The executive
committee of the Oregon Railway & Nav
igation company has dissolved the voting
trust which controls the property. The
Central Trust Company, voting trustee,
will receive the voting trust certificates
assigned to 1t ard give temporary GER
tifcates until the original stock can be
restored to the owners, about Aug l. The
trust agreement provided that holders of
$2OOO,090 Of Oregon Navigation common
stock could terminate the trust by pro-
vtding an acceptable guarantee of pay
ment of 20 per cent dividends on the pre-
ferred at per cent a year. Ten per cent
has alerady been paid, leaving only 10
per cent to be guaranteed. The dissolu-
ton was based upon the application of
the Oregon Short Line, owners OF more
than sufficient stock, which company fur
nished acceptable bondsmen to guarantee
10 per cent dividends to be paid in the
next two and a half years.
The dissolution of the voting trust has
no direct connection with a change of
officers and directors. The stockholders
will merely vote for their own choice at
the next annual meeting. No slate has
be en- made up although the Union Pacific
is in control by ownership Of the Oregon
Short Line. t-tt
1t is said that the dissolution of the
trust has no direct connection with the
Clearwater territory controversy with the
Northern Pacific.

JOHN ID. ROCKEFELLER SAID TO
BE BACKING THE WIsCON-
SIN CENTRAL
NEEDS IT IN HIS BUSINESS

He Could Then Control a Connect
ing Line Between Chicago and
the Iron District Near and Trfb-
utary to the Head of the Lakes-
Published Statement That j. j.
Hill Was Behind Purchase Untrue
There is reason, amounting to almost
absolute certainty, for believing that
John ID. Rockefeller is backing the re.
organization committee of the Wiscon-
sin central in the recent purchase of the
road and the plans for the future He
has been interested in the road for years
and has every reason to take the
chance of getting control if he can.
Moreover, I have information from relia-
BILE sources which confirms the opinion
l have stated. 1t is Rockefeller or no
one"
This was the statement made last night
by an official of the Wisconsin Central
when asked whether the Brown-Coppell-
Bull combination, in purchasing the road
at the sale in Eau Claire, acted for
themselves or were carrying out the
plans of some power behind the reorgan-
ization. The official has been connected
with the road for years and is thor
oughly conversant with the situation.
When questioned further he stated that
Rockefeller has planned for some time
on ultimately controlling line to Chi
cago, with connections with the iron dis
trict, near the tributary to the head of
the lakes He has been a stockhoIder
n 10 and
with the affairs of it's directors also in
a way which has given him familiarity
with its position and resources and an
exact idea of it's value in connection
with other plans
When recent reports published in an
afternoon paper to the effect that Mr.
Hill, of the Great Northern, was behind
the purchase were referred to, the Of
hcial made the statement which fol-
lows:
The idea is an absolute farce Mr..
Hill doesn't want the road and probably
couldn't afford to take IT as gift. With
all the St Paul-Chicago lines tributary
to his transcontinental route, the fallacy
of trying to gain control of any one con-
sequentiy antagonizing all the others,
any one of which puts more business
into the hands of the Great Northern
than the Wisconsin Central, becomes re-
markably apparent. There has never
been any reason for such report and
there Is less at present than at any pre-
Vious time. Mr.. Hill may go in in an
individual capacity and cut out a little
block of stock as a private investment,
but he could not, and certainly would
not even think. of getting control of the
road. 1t Is not what he wants, and even
if it was, and he wished to carry out his
reported plan Of an ocean to ocean routo,
the geographical position of the line
would make 1t undesira ble.'

SHORT LINE RATES.
st. Cloud Milling Company Files
Complaint.

The Northern Pacific desires to main
tain short line rates from the cities to
the head of the lakes in order 10 meet
the Great Northern's competition to Da-
kota points. This has caused complaint
on the part of the George Tileston Mill
ing company. of st. Cloud, and the ques-
tion is to come before the interstate rail-
road commission for settlement.
The question involved is an important
one. Last May the road applied to the
railroad commission for permission to put
in effect short line rates to Duluth from
the cities, without changing rates from
intermediate points. A fiat refusal fol-
lowed. The road then made the rates,
but put them in effect from West Superb
or, a Wisconsin point, thus escaping ju-
risdiction of the state railroad commits
sion. The matter could only be adjusted
after this change before the interstate
commission.
The Tileston Milling company filed a
complaint last month in which they claim
that they have to pay 2S1k cents lake and
rail east, while the Twin City millers pay
only 2119 cents from point seventy miles
Eearer. The complaint also recites that
the defendant road accepts 25 per cent Of
the through rate as its proportion. The
Northern Pacific has filed an answer to
the complaint in Washington. 1t recites
that circumstances are essentially differ
ent in regard to shipments to st. Cloud
than to the Twin Cities, both with regard
to cost and with respect to rates between
the terminal points imposed on the de-
fendant company by competition.
The Northern Pacific does not desire to
mix in Duluth-St. Paul freight business
and made the rate to protect itself from
the Great Northern's competition. The
hearing will come up in August.
