Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
ST. PAUL, Mimi. Feb. 2.-The Northern
Pacific today purchased from the Stand
ard OIL Company its interest In the west
ern section of the Everett & Monte Cristo
railroad and its terminals in Everett.
Wash. The deal was completed In New
York.
1t may be far more important than ap-
pears on the surface. because. IT Is said.
the Northern Pacific will build UP Everett
as Puget sound headquarters. II VIII
come into dff-et competition at that point
with the Great Northern.
President Mellen says: THE particular
occasion why the Northern Pacific bought
the road is TO secure more terminals for
its growing Pacific coast business. Ia
coma proved too small and Seattle was
too exacting."
The Northern Pacific will handle the
Standard OIL Company's ore business
over the line just purchased.

M'KINLEY KEEPS AL0OF.
Federal Government VIII Not Inter-
fere I'm Any Manner in the
Kentucky Troubles.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA delegation OF
Kentucky Democrats, consisting of SEN
ator-elect Blackburn and Representatives
Rhea. Wheeler. Smith, Allen and Gilbert.
and Col. Phil Thompson. called upon Presi-
dent Mckinley today to protest against
federal interference in the contest in Ken
lucky. They assured the president that
the law and constitution OF Kentucky had
been strictly followed by the Democrats
In the contest over the governorship. and
that they proposed to stand by the law.
The Democrats, they asserted. would alb
stain from violence. They simply de-
sired a lawful and orderly settlement of
the controversy. Federal Intervention
would only aggravate matters, intensity
and almost certainly lead to trouble.
and perhaps loss OF life. They earnestly
appealed to the president to avert such
a calamity by abstaining from interference
OF any sort.
The president. In reply. assured the
delegation that he depiored the trouble
and that federal interference would come
only as last resort. after having been
invoked by the proper authorities under
the law and constitution.
VIII Not Interfere.
After the cabinet meeting the follow
ing statement was made:
THE president and cabinet decide that
no case has yet arisen to justify the in
tervention of the national government In
Kentucky and has SO informed the gov
ernor."
Some Significance may attach to the
use Of the word governor In this state
mert, iuasfnuch as the reply was direct
ed to Taylor.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

At the Crawford theater Tuesday
night "A Contented Woman will be
seen for the first time in this city. "A
Contented Woman according to all re-
ports, is one Of the most successful
comedies of that popular playwright,
Charles Hoyt. AS a rule, Mr.. Hoyt
never relies much upon plots or stories
for foundation of his comedies, but
in the case of "A Contented Woman"
he has cleverly woven a Well-dedned
plot and interesting story, with many
amusing complications following one
upon the other, and which are happily
worked out in Hoyt's most humorous
vein. The story is based upon the law
passed in western states giving the
fairer sex the right to vote, and making
them eligible for municipal offices. The
piece is in four scenes, all of which
are laid in Denver, and the scenery
used in the production is said to be
the most pretentious Mr.. Hoyt has ever
presented Every particle of the
scenery and all the stage accessories,
even to the rugs and bric-a- brac, in
fact, everything necessary to make the
presentation here identical with that
given in New York, will be brought
from HOyt'S theater. The cast is said
Hoyt comedy, headed by Miss Belle
Archer. who is credited with being one
of the most beautiful women upon the
American stage.
What is hypnotism? How did Sven
gall overmaster ''Trilby''? What power
is there in a persons eye that causes
another person to fall asleep under its
gaze? How long does the influence
last? Why is it that some people pos
sess it and others do not? Why can
not everyone be hypnotized? All of
these are questions that the public take
great interest in and all of them are
answered by the F1ints in their enter
tainments. They are booked for the
Crawford theater every night this week,
with the exception of Tuesday night.
