HILL MADE PRESIDENT HEADS COMPANY TO DISPOSE
 OF NORTHERN PACIFIC. The Burlington Will Be Leased to the New Chicago, Burlington &
 Quincy Company-Every Faction Satisfied.

New York. Nov 1L-Ths Times will say tomorrow:
 James J. Hin President of the Great Northern Railway was yesterday CTnursN day) elected President of the Nortnern Securities Company, the new $lOO,OOO,OO0 corporation, through the medium or Wnich the Northwestern railroad tangle VIII pS disposed of. The board of directors or
 the new company also were elected. They are as follows: John S. Kennedy, ID. VII lis James, Samuel Tnorne. James J. Hill, E. T. Nichols, Joseph Baker, Robert Ba- con, George w. Perkins. Daniel s. La mont E. H. Hartman, Jacob Fl. Schiff,
 James Stillman, w. H. Clough, George c. Clark and N. Terhune.
 Of these men six may be considered as representatives of the Great Northern interests; three represent the interests of J. P. Morgan and Co.,, and three more
 stand for the Hartman interests. Two are distinctly representatives of the | Northern Pacific Railway and the remain | ing director Samuel Thorne, who was | President of the Pennsylvania Coal Com
 pany which now belongs to the Pennsyl-
 vania Railroad is regarded as represent 1 ing Eastern interests.
 It is however, a difficult matter to draw l lines which divide this board according ! to the various interests which make ur
 the Northern Securities Company. It may 1 be stated on the authority of represen- tatiVes of these interests that it would
 be misconception of the purposes and objects of the new company and the agreement under which 1t was originated
 to make an attempt to draw circle around each particular interest having delegation in the company. On the con trary the scope of the settlement accord ing to the words of member of the liar riman side, Is much broader one.
 Tt was the intention" he said. ito formulate an agreement under which all the interests. instead of remaining sep arate and distinct. could be moulded in- to one, in order to secure an absolutely harmonious cooperation and unity of purpose. The agreement carries the idea of unity of interest to the most advanced point which has yet been reached. and which assures the ultimate supremacy of this idea of railroad management over any other that has been advocated. Some people have made the point that the Government of the United States should take over all the railroads after they have been brought closely to- gether as possible. For our part, we
 would be willing to turn over to the Government the securities of all the rail- roads We control on the same terms that the Government now buys it's own bonds" l Regarding the Burlington, The Journal ] of Commerce will say tomorrow: Tt was authoritatively stated last
 evening that the Burlington will be and Quincy Railway Company by the
 Northern Pacific and Great Northern. Union Pacific interests being satisfactor- fly represented in the management of the property.
 Tt also was authoritatively stated that neither the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul nor the Chicago and Northwestern systems is directly concerned in the cur reEt deal"

GLAss'S FRANCHISE PLAN. Offered as Substitute for Majority
 and Minority Reports.


 Richmond, Va, Nov. 14.-Mr. Class 5 suffrage clause was offered as a substi- tute for the majority and minority re- ports of the Committee on Franchises Tn the Constitutional Convention today. It requires applicants for registration to understand and explain any section of the State Constitution, Is of temporary nature, and Is discarded after the first general registration. under which regis tration Is made a permanent roll. The Glass plan differs from the minority re- port of the committee in that it renders possible the. exclusion from the regiStra- ton lists until the poll tax goes into ef- feet of large percentage of the negro voters.
 After January 1. 1903 every person must pay poll tax of $1.50, except persons who have seen active service in time of war in the naval or land forces of the Union. the Confederacy, or the State of Virginia. After the date indicated, all persons ap- plying for registration are put upon terms of absolute equality. They must pay $50 tax as a prerequisite to registration and must make application in their own handwriting and prepare their ballots without aid from any source. The plan also provides for equal representation of both political parties on the election boards, a provision contained in neither of the other plans The possibilities of maladministration of the understanding clause ends under the Glass proposition with the first general registration, while under the majority plan they continue tn- definitely. On the other hand, the Glass plan excludes more negroes from the pre- registration than would the plan offered by Senator Daniel, known as the report, while the Thom, or ma iority. report Is supposed to be intended to exclude as many negroes as possible for as long period as possible.
 An amendment offered by Mfr. Meredith of Richmond, allowing the Governor to veto any item in the appropriation bill. was adopted

TROOPS AGAIN NEEDED HOPKINS COUNTY, KY, THE SCENE OF DISORDER. Organizer Reed Says That a Wrong Impression Has Been Created
 as to Purpose of the
 Strikers Camps

Burlington, Ky, Nov. 14.-AdJutant General David B. Murray, who has been in Madisonville for two days looking into the mining situation, this afternoon teie- phoned the Governor recommending that troops again be sent to Hopkins County. There is agitation among the Cnlon miners today over news of the restrain ing order against officers and members Of the United Mine Workers, granted by Judge Evans in the United States Court at Louisville last night, to restrain the Union men from camping on or within gun shot," of the property Of the mine owners.
 The coal operators, non-union employees and the business men generally are pleased with the news of the injunction and express the belief that general and permanent relief will come of 1t.
 The only thing talked about today at Madisonville, where the largest camp Of miners is located, was the injunction granted the mine operators by Judge Evans of the Federal Court.
 The action of the operators came as a surprise to the Union miners and every body else. Most of the union officials are out of the city President Woods is in attendance at the State Convention of the Federation of Labor at Lexington, but he telegraphed that he will return at once.
 Organizer Reed, who is in charge of union headquarters. today said
 "The injunction will not injure us in the least. As far as l can understand, it Is design of the operators to place d wrong impression on the minds of the public as to the objects of our camps. The purpose of our camps is to maintain our men at less cost than under other conditions. Our camps have been fired into times too numerous to mention and on account of this some of our men have armed themselves for their own protection. We are going to go right along and organize the non-union miners"
 Everything is quiet throughout the strike region today. Last night several shots were fired near the Reinecke mines, but none of the shots was fired at the
