COMMISSION
WORK WILL LAST FIVE YEARS
President Said to Have Promised
That One Minnesota Man Shall
Have Place on the
Commission.

A Washington dispatch yesterday i'm
plies that a Minnesota man has been de.
ternfned upon by the president as 2
member of the commission to adjust the
Spanish American war claims. 1t stated
that that man is prominent member OF
the legislature and this was at once
taken as confirmation of the projected
statement few days ego that Senator
Hller Horton, Of ST. Paul, would fall
heir to this position.
Senator Horton was interviewed last
evening by a reporter for the Globe
upon The subject and stated:
Il cannot say that L have been appoint

fetal notification of it. 1t is true. that

course, suggests that it is he who had
been selected for the place. The senator
is very reticent in his discussion of the
subject however.

it is calculated, for a period of at least
FIVE years, and perhaps much longer

NAY LOSE THEIR ROADS
CANADIANS APPRENTICESHIP OF
AMERICANS BUYING UP
TRUNK LINES
NOTE OF ALARM Is SOUNDED
Member of Parliament Declares That
Absorption Would Mean WHIP
ing of the Dominion
Off the Map.

Recent stupendous deals in railways
and the unmistakable trend Of the times
toward consolidation of railway interests
on the basis Of mutual profit and the re-
duction of expenses has caused thrill
of alarm to sweep through the Domin-
ion to the north. A few days ago, on
the floor of the house of commons, a
member pointed out that it was by no
Canadian trunk roads would be drawn
into the maelstrom OF consolidation, or
in other words be bought outright by
American capitalists with unlimited
means at their disposal for profitable in
VeStment.
The member who sounded this note of
alarm stated that such a step would
virtually mean the wiping off the map Of
Canada. This may seem highly fgura-
tive, but to those who know the vast
influence welded by the c. P r., the
immense privileges possessed by that
corporation, and the protection it is af-
forded by a carefully worked-out series
of legislative enactments will see at
once that the Canuck knew what he was
talking about
There is another point to be consider
ed by those who hold that the c. P. r.
is distinctively a British road. With its
virtual monopoly in Western Canada, it
is good paying concern. That is ex-
actly what the huge syndicates of capt.
CdllSCS are looking Tor. Mult1-mllltOnaireS
who know just how the c. P. r. is stu
ated are satisfied that the road is an as
sured and good dividend payer
Those who own the stock are Just as
keen to make money as IF they were
Americans, and the mere sentimental
consideration that the road was about
to pass into the hands of Yankees would
not for moment prevent them from
favorably considering proposition which
would yield them most handsome re-
turn on their investment
President T. G. Shaughnessy, of that
company, when approached on the sub
Ject, frankly admitted that it was well
within the range of possibility. He spoke
as a business man, and said that the
road was just as much for sale as any
tnh the country. A certain price rlust
be paid, and any one could have the
road from tide water to tide water. Once
IN the hands of enterprising- americans
VINO would entertain no respect for the
time-henored conservativeness which to
a certain extent is characteristic of the
British, this road would undoubtedly
prove one of the best paying on the con-
tinent.

A Report That Great Northern Is In
vading Southern Territory.


The latest story to be launched con-
corning the intentions of the manage
ment of the Great Northern is from
Sioux Falls, whence comes the report
that this read is headed for Denver.
There seems to be very little foundation
for the move, which is eIaborateIy out

mas the whole route mapped out, which,
In his own words, is as follows:
From Sioux Falls to Mitchell. thence
southwesterly to Valentine, $50 miles
Valentine will be made a division head
quarters in event Of the construction of
the extension. Between Mitchell and
valentine it will pass through Dawson,
Douglas, Gregory and Trip counties, in
South Dakota, and through Keys, Paha
and Cherry counties, in Nebraska 1t
VIII then run southwest from Valentine
and lntersect the Burlington in the neigh
borheod of Mullen. 1t will run through
Hooker, Mcpherson, Keith and Duel
counties and cross the Union Pacific near
to Chappen ChappeT will be made the
end OF another division. From there it
VIII run southwesterly through Logan.
Morgan and Weld counties, in Colorado,
and the terminus will be at Denver.
FROM Mitchell to Denver the road will be
about 500 miles. Between Valentine and
Chappeu the distance is about the same
as between Mitchell and Valentine. 15O
miles.
