GALVESTON FALLS
 TO PAY INTEREST
BoNpHoLDERs WILL MEET IN NEW YORK TO DECIDE WHAT STEPS ARE NECESSARY TO COL LEcT DEBT.

New York, December IRA conference will be held in this city on December r of Galveston's bondholders to discuss what steps are necessary to meet Calves tons financial difficulties, says the Jour- nal of Commerce.
 Galveston has failed to pay interest on some of its bonds and the default was made on December 1, when the city was unable to meet the interest on the forty year limited debt bonds of 1881. com mittee representing the city of Galveston will be present at the conference.
 Since the st orm the amount paid out in interest to the bondholders was slsO- GOO. In addition to this amount s4NDO0 ks bonds were retired. This is the statement of the representatives of a city which sustained the loss of thousands of lives and property loss -stimated at about s17.00O00O.
 Realizing several months ago that the city could not meet it's indebtedness, an effort was made to refund the debt at a lower rate of interest, and legislation looking to this end was secured. Result ing from this was the opening of negotia- tions with the bondholders. and propo- ,sition submitted to them. The result of Nhis proposition was the reply from a representative of the bondholders holding out no hope of a reduction of interest, but only postponement, and this only in case 1t was absolutely necessary

VAN SAINT TO CALL
 SPECIAL SESSION
GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA WILL HAVE LAWS REVISED so AS TO PREVENT THE NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD MERGER.

St. Paul, December Ex-Governor Van Sant has informed leading members of the Legislature that he has decided to call a special session of the law-making body for January IS, to revise the revenue laws and, If necessary, to enact laws that will prevent the Northwestern Rail- road merger
 J. J. Hill, through his agents here, yesterday awarded a contract for the construction of new shops to cost about N00O000. The plant will be equipped for the manufacture of steel carsr locomo- tives and all other rolling stock. Ground was broken for this plant yesterday. Hill is trying to make some of his promises good and to offset the prejudice aroused by the consolidation scheme.
 It was reported in railroad circles that the promoters of the merger were trying to allay opposition throughout the North western States. but that, despite the luke warm attitude of some the great majority of shippers are unit against the whole scheme.
 The attorney generals office has an- nounced that the papers in the merger case had been completed, but the officials declined to say when they will be served. It is thought they may be given to the attorneys for the Great Northern today. If they are in the city. At present there is no official of the Great Northern Be- curities Company in Minnesota, and 1t is thought that service may be delayed un- til J. J, Hill arrives
 The railroad commissioners of South Dakota have declared they would en- deavor to stay the progress of the merger in that state The big fight, however, will be in Minnesota.

Denver and Rio Grande. Rio Grande and Western and Central Pacific railroads as the main links in the chain.
 T have heard nothing about that" said Mir. Gould We are working very harmoniously with our allied railroad connection, the Central Pacific being one of them"
 Then MT. Gould gave his inkling of his plans of extending his network of railroads in the South:
 We are contemplating line from Ar kansas City south to Lake Providence in Louisiana. In fact, it is under con sideration The Texas and Pacific line is to be rebuilt and extended SC that 1t will form a through line along the west bank of the Mississippi river between New Orleans and St. Louis. The im provement will include also the rebuilding
 
 railroad. The new line runs through beautiful cotton country and at present there Is no line to serve it. The country is entirely tributary to the Iron Noun tain system, hence the construction of branches"
