IS an independent question, and could be
taken uo now as we'll as any other time
but the commission Will wait awhile and
see what aspect the legal phase of the
question may assume.
1t is probable that the railroads will
take the initiative and endeavor to get the
case into the federal district court, which
as a rule construes the interstate com
merce question more rigidly than state
courts.
This may be done by injunction proceed
ings.
There is now no rate fixed by the state
for ore traffic, except the local rate filed
by the companies. The order of Nov. 20,
1900, which has been continuously violat-
ed and ignored, no longer exists
Copies of the order were signed this
morning and served on attorneys for the
ore roads, who dropped in to see what
shape things were taking. The COM
mission took no further action this morn
ing, and did not even meet for consulta-
tion.

TO GET ST. PAUL
Rumor Places Union Pacific
in Control of the
Road.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-The Daily News to-
day says: The Union Pacific will control
the ST. Paul. This news is not to be re-
garded as official, though it was impaired
by one closely related to the Hartman
syndicate. Negotiations to the end indi-
Gated, it is said, have been concluded and
that the Hartman party will take charge
of the St. Paul line some time before next
January. Details of the deal are not as
certainable, but it was intimated that the
Union Pacific people had agreed to pay
5000 share for a majority of the COM
mon issue of the St. Paul compony.
If the above information be confirmed
it is submitted with due reservation-the
financial stroke may be regarded as some
thing apart from the Northern Pacific
compact, although it comedies in a gener-
al way with the community of interest
plan and it solves the question as to
where the Milwaukee will find place in the
big scheme of bringing the principal roads
OF the west into a syndicate ownership.

ATTEMPTED TO BRIBE MOVES
Very Sensational Testimony Given by the Judge
in San Francisco Court

The facts Of the removal of Borschen-
i>fs, former clerk, were detailed by Noyes,
who had found his clerk incompetent and
dishonest. He said that Borschenous'
story Of his (Noyes) trying to remove him
before he was finally let out, was funny.
Il made but one attempt to remove him,
and that was successful 1t required only
stroke of the pen to send him out. If
had made prior attempt, it would have
been just as easy for me, and just as
disastrous to Borschenius.'
NOyes emphatically denied Nelson's tes-
timony that he had been overheard dis
cussing the gold dust and how it could be
gotten hold off, Noyes was reported to
have said that he would direct a verdict
for the jlaintiff. Metson had testified that
one of his detectives had told the story to
him. That detective conveniently died
before Metson gave his testimony. Noyes
replied that the explanation of how to
get the dust was the first one he had
heard. The story of the detective he de-
MED and he thought it was in keeping
with Nelson's work that he gave that
kind of testimony.
Noyes declared Nelson's testimony in
regard to the manipulating of the grand
juries to his giving them private instruc-
tions, and discharging and appointing
jurors at will to be absolutely false and
that the record would not bear out Met
sons testimony He was surprised that
even Metson had had the face to state
such things as facts.
AT 11:15 this morning the defense rested
and Mr. Pillsbury, amicus curiae, took the
witness for examination. Before
the first question was answered Attorney
Mclaughlin entered general objection
to all questions which Pillsbury might ask
on the grounds of their being incompetent,
lmm1tari9l
cross examination. This was to shorten
the record. as all of the cross -examina-
tions have been filed with objections.
Pillsbury's questions began with Noyes'
arrival at Nome and at 1870 nothing new
had been brought out. Pillsbury contin-
ues to be prompted and assisted by Met
son and knight.

Special to The Journal.
San Francisco, N6v. 12.--Looking ex-
Marshall Vawter straight in the face,
Judge Noyes this morning in clear, con-
else language told of that officials at
tempt to bribe him. The details were not
many, but it caused a small sensation in
the courtroom. The earlier testimony OF
the morning was devoid of interest, but
when attorney Mclaughlin asked him If
he had ever been approached by Vawter,
Judge Noyes said: Yes and then re-
lated the circumstance.
Vawter had called him out on the walk
at the side of the Golden Gate hotel and
said:
Judge, if you will make up your mind
to discharge Mckenzie it will be worth
$40, 900"
The judge, who was very much sur
prised, said: "Mr. Vawter, you forget
yourself. Your language does not be-
come one in your position"
Noyes then told how Vawter had after
wards sought him to beg him to overlook
his language, and later how Vawter had
begged for leniency before Woods, Frost
and the Judge. Vawter, in his testimony
early in the hearing had denied all these
conversations and declared them lies. To-
day he was extremely nervous while
Noyes was giving his testimony. Nc
Laughlin called Noyes' attention to Vaw-
ter's statements that he (Vawter) had
once expressed his opinion to Noyes that
the appointment of Mckenzie was unlaw-
full and wrong. Noyes denied that Vaw-
ter had ever said so to him, and remarked:
HE isn't a man who is apt to have an
opinion on any subject worth mention
ing

BULGARIA PROMISES
VIII Help Miss Stone as an Act of
Courtesy and Humanity.

Sofia Bulgaria, Nov. 12,-Consul Gen
eral Dickinson of Constantinople has sup
plemented his verbal representations to
the Bulgarian government by a note to-
day in which he reminds the foreign min
lister of his promise to give every assist
ance for the release of Miss Stone. He
cites instances where the attitude of sub
ordinate officials has not conformed with
this assurance. Mr.. Dickinson repeats
his demand for the noninterference of the
government in the negotiations. The
governments reply, according to the opin-
ion expressed in official circles, will set
forth that while hesitating to establish
the precedent that the government give
protection to brigands in treating for the
ransom of captives, in the present case
involving the safety of two ladies, the
government, as an act of courtesy and
humanity, will comply with Mr. Dickin-
sons request.

Decrease.
Financier,s Statement.

NEW YORK, June 15.-The Ftnancier says:
 Large syndicate operations are refec- ted in the New York Bank statement of June 15. The excess was again heav- lily decreased and stands at $S, 7S2, ,125 as compared with $2l, 900 on May 9 a loss of over twelve million of dollars in three weeks. In this period loans of the banks however is no less than $42,000,0O0 and de- pOsits $44, ,0OO. .O00 while amount of cash on hand is aoout $1, 100000 less than on the former date. It appears, therefore, that the banks are not loding cash particu- larly but the increased liabilities are tie ing up a large amount of otherwise idle money in the form of reserves against deposits. This is worthy of mention only in the sense that the large operations noted are of a more or less temporary character and their consummation may set free quite an amount of available funds in the near future. The July divi- dend period is already being arranged for and may exert an influence on the market soon, The particular features which are shown in the current statement are traCeable to the Pennsylvania Steel pur- chase and kindred pending deals and the loss of one and one-half millions in cash is due to movements of money in the direction of Philadelphia. which were heavy during the bank week and to oper- ations with the sub-treasury at New York As a matter of fact. the majority of the banks did not participate as fac tors in the changes noted, the bulk of increase in loans and deposits having

been. reported by two large institutions which were concerned in these special operations. While however. the declining reserve is thus easily explained It can. n not tbe denied that the effect VIII pc shown in some firmness of rates as was indicated at the close of the week. rms does not mean a large continuance or harder conditions but with the surplus reduced over half in two weeks 1t IS not surprising that firmer tendency IS shown. Loans are still about eighteen millions under the maximum figures reached March g. last and deposits are 100000 less but the excess reserve at the present time is s2,000,O00 less than a. the period of record breaking deposit and loan totals, so tiat continued expansiotn as tn seems impossible until money moves to this center in heavier volume. But, as pointed out there is no reason to expect a continuance of heavy increase in any of the items. A small amount or golo was taken for export during the week. This does not figure in the current state ment. It is expected that as the first of July draws near the shipments VIII increase in frequency in order to meet July settlements. Rates are higher at Berlin than elsewhere and the exports, if any will probably be to that center.

Chicago Grain and Provision.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Despite disappoint- Ing cables and fine crop prospects the wheat market displayed considerable firm ness today and the July closed hqS-S higher, July corn sold lQ11s improved at the end of the session. July oats were hsSIA thzssIA up and provisions from shade nigher to 5 cents higher.
 Ihough the session in the wheat pit was qulet there was a surprising change Tn the tone of the market. With Liver pool prices down and a continuat ton of excellent weather today began with a modest array of sellers and July wheat opened hgA to AQss below yesterdays pressure of the selling movement the price declines B. All offerings were taken Dy one or two commission houses and this started rumor that the buying was Tor export. Consequently the mar ket turned advancing to 701s. Profit talk ing took k off this price but the execu- ton or more orders from the early buy CTS. caused continuation of the upward movement to the high price of the day, 709sq%. Under profit taking there was a slight reaction and the close was firm and the weeks export of wheat and flour as equal to 4,729,000 bushels as compared with 6,644,0O0 bushels for the week before. Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 9,O0O bushels and primary receipts 55S,0O0 bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 492 cars against 429 last ceipts were 145 cars, 10 of contract grade.
 Improved cables and the smallness of stocks on hand more than matched the bearish weather conditions and the corn market from a firm beginning developed surprising strength The effect of small receipts was felt as much in the cash market as in the speculative features. There was an excellent cash demand and shorts were in a furry to cover. Several commission houses took considerable quantities presumably for export. July corn sold between 42ss and 43%, closing strong and 16Dh up at the high price. Lo- cal receipts were 2S0 cars, ten of contract grade.
 The oats market.t benefited much by the strength in the corn pit. The July delivery was in steady demand by com mission houses and shorts showed dis position to get away from it. There was good country demand. July oats sold between 27h and 2SA@4, closing strong receipts were Al cars.
 Provisions were quiet, but the market had strong undertone on better prices for hogs. Trading was light on the whole with an early demand for ribs and lard by packers, the only feature. July pork sold between $1470 and $14.771z, closing 9h higher at $14,75.
 July lard ranged between sS50 and ss55, closing cents improved at the top price. July ribs sold from $S.006$S 021h to $S05@ S.0711, closing a shade higher at $8.05.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. June 15.-The market for spot cotton was very quiet today and but little trading was indulged in the to- tai sales recorded reaching only 700 bales of spots, of which 200 bales were sold after hours last evening and $50 bales to arrive. As has been the case during the past three days, buyers and sellers are standing measurably apart in their views with no marked disposition to give way on either side. Quotations unchanged. A fairly good business was transacted dur ing the short session today in the market for contracts, though the bulk of the trading was apparently in the nature of room work, induced by a quick succession tie in the position of the market to at tract outside interest
 Orleans scored an initial improvement of to points on all positions and fiuc- after, finally closing at net gains for the day of six points on September and 5 points on each of the other months.

NEW YORK, June 15-Thc cotton mar ket opened firm with prices unchanged to points higher and continued to advance most of the early session on room and outside buying, July reaching SPA, august 1.6S and January TAT, or 8 to g points above last nights close The ca pie news was stand-off, near months in Liverpool were a shade higher and far months somewhat lower than looked for Yet domestic news averaged up much in favor of the market. Sales of over 1,000,- OOO pieces reguiers and odd goods this week in Fall River mills at unchanged to 1-16c; higher prices. reports of con- tinued rains over the south Atlantic States, a bullish chronicle review of the week In the cotton belt, and reports that Southern spot markets were again on the upturn, all served to prevent a resump- ton of last nights selling movement, and to stimulate buying for both accounts. Crop news from Georgia, the Carolinas and Alabama was far from favorable while scarcity of labor was complained of in all parts of the belt. Todays port receipts were liberal but cut little figure as an influence.
