ACTION AT BOSTON.
Net Dividend of n Little Over Eight
Per Cent Is Secured.

BOSTON, June simultaneously with
the meeting of the New York Central di-
rectOrs in New York, the Boston & AL
bany directors came together in this city,
although President Bliss was absent at
tending the New York meeting. After
spirited debate the meeting passed the
resolution renewing the lease, with the
prOviso however, than an per cent divi-
dend, payable quarterly, shall be guaran-
teed by the New York Central road, and
also that 100000 in money or property
shall be reserved by the Boston e. Albany
road. This sum consists of the trust i'm
provement fund of the road, and other
funds which have been laid by for i'm
prOvements and expenses. If the road is
turned over to the New York Central it
will not be necessary to use these funds
for the purpose for which they were in
corporated. This sum Of $4,000, COO, in
vested at the current rates of interest,
would mean a return of at least One-haf
of one per cent additional to the stock
holders, so that the proposition, stated
broadly, is that the stockholders of the
Boston &, Albany will derive net divi-
course this provision may be affected by
various after considerations. In the first
case it must be remembered that the
proposition is to be voted on by the
stockholders, who meet in annual session
on Sept. II. Then 1t must be approved by
the legislature. If all these bodies are
favorable, July l, 1900, will find the new
tenants in control.

president and vice president respectively
Of the Great Northern Louis w Hill, as
sistant to President Hill; D. w Miller,
second vice president, and Edward
Sawyer, treasurer and assistant secretary

dicate that the road will become a part
of the Great Northern system. When
asked if the road would be extended, Mr.,
Webster said:
81 am at loss to say, because the OBJ
ject OF today's meeting was simply to
perfect an organization. Officers will be
elected later"

President Dove, of Commercial

ALBANY, N. Y, June 30.-President
Dove in his annual address to the Com
mercial Travellers association in con-
vention here today dwelt on the effect OF
trusts upon commercial travellers and
what the commercial travellers should
do under the circumstances. He declared
that he had obtained from the best possi-
commercial travellers had been thrown
out of work through trusts and that a 900
more had had their salaries reduced One
in every ten was affected. In conclusion
President Dove said
"As to action against trusts, I would
not advise positive and over-aggressive
action We would simply get whipped in
a hazardous fight. 1t would be to our
interest to see that every one of the
political organizations deserved our ap-
proval. have thought that a monster
non-partisan organization might be
formed to fight trusts regardless of poll
tics. We are undoubtedly confronted by
a demoralized and un-American situa-
ton"
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, P. E.

FITTING FINALE.
MiIwau<ee's Great Carnival Closes
with n Pageant.

MiIwauI1ee's Great Carnival Closes
With n Pageant.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 30.-A fitting
finale to Milwaukee's great midsummer
carnival was the gorgeous pageant of
twenty floats, which moved from the out
skirts Of the city down town and through
the principal streets. II had required a
large corps of artists Several months to
prepare the designs, and not until tonight
was the secret unfolded to the public.
The feast that awaited the hundreds of
thousands OF carnival patrons amply re-
paid them for their long wait and, judg-
ing from the enthusiasm all along the
line. expectations were more than full
flled. The floats rivalled in richness any
thing ever seen in the West.
The subjects of the floats embraced
nature and the elements, emotions and
stories of myth and fable The figures
on the floats Were reported by the turn
ers' society of Milwaukee.
Col Harry S. Fuller was chief marshal,
attended by numerous aides The page
ant was escorted by the Milwaukee light
horse squadron each section being led by
a band Of music.

present were President Galloway. E. V.

den.
Assurances were given to President
Cassatt that the New York Central, in
obtaining control of the Boston & AL
bany, had no intention of assuming an
aggressive attitude toward the Pennsyl-
vania road He declined, however, to
say anything regarding the subject un-
der discussion. The New York Central
officers were equally reticent on this
point but, in a general way, they de-
clared there would be no break in the
friendly relations existing between the
Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania people,
and that there was no expectation that
there would be any friction in that quar-
ter.
President Galloway said that the Bos-
ton & Albany lease, as approved by the
respective boards Of directors, however,
would have to go to the stockholders. for
ratification, and meetings of the NeaK
York Central and Boston & Albany stockF
holders are to be called without delay.

FilipinOs Evidently Preparing to
Attack San Fernando.
MANILA, July IA collision between
the two armies at San Fernando seems in
evitable soon. The insurgents are active
all around the town and can be seen
working in the trenches to strengthen
their position. Day and night forces are
at work. 1t is estimated that 1900 men
were seen marching in the road north OF
the town yesterday morning. The Amer
leans turned out and manned the defens-
es, expecting an attack. The soldiers slept
in their clothes and breakfasted at 4
o'clock in the morning, 80 as to be ready
for another daybreak assault.
The commission of three Spanish officers
who entered the insurgent lines a fort
night ago to make final attempt to ar
range for the release of the Spanish pris-
oners have not returned. Their long alb
sence has occasioned alarm.
