The railway situation in the Northwest
has been the cause of tremendous
amount of gossip. 1t is not yet possible
TO say what is the actual situation, but
nothing that has developed during the
week indicates friction among the import
ant interests and there is a general opin-
ion among conservative people that har-
monious conditions exist and that the re-
suit of present negotiations will be good
for the market. AS far as can be learn
ed, the Morgan-Hill interests hold a ma
jority of the common stock Of the North
ern Pacific and small block of the pre-
ferred stock, while the Kuhn-Loeb I'm
ion Pacihc interests hold some common
stock and sufficient Of the preferred TO
give them control If both classes of stock
are included. This being the stock situa-
tion II Will be seen that If the preferred
were retired at any time, the Morgan
Iiill interests would be clearly in control
while at present, as both Classes of stock
have the voting power, the Union Pacific
people are in control. The fact that Mr.
Morgan, nevertheless, is directing the af-
fairs of the company, shows that har-
mony must exist. 1T is saiG that the nre-
ferred stock is likely 10 be retired at the
end OF the present year. as the company
has right to do under its charter, but on
a basis entirely satisfactory to the Tn
Ion Pacific interests. 1t is possible that
somewhat higher price than par may
he paid for the stock in the retirement
TO make them satisfied with the bargain.
The question whether the directors Of the
company have the right to retire the pre-
ferred stock, or whether a vote Of the
stockholders, as whole would be re
quired, is an interesting one as the an
nual meeting has been held and no ac-
ton taken In the matter, and If thev df-
r6 c:nrs have the power To act they being
Morgan people. might retire the preferred
at the end Of the year without consulting
the Union Pacific intert sts. The question
Is delicate one. and II is said that oDIu-
ions differ regarding fl, but as all parties
are friendly, II is not in the least likely
that il Will cause any friction Nort fprn
Pacific preferred has been one of the
most active stocks 'on the list during tho
past few days in the matter Of its lluc-
tuations. II is said that Union Pacific
interests have been buying the stock and
that outsiders also. looking for deyc lop-
ments of some kind, have spectlated In il
to a certain extent. The high prices at
tainod on Friday were not retained. but
II closed yesterday with good net gain
for the week.
The copper situation has continued TO
attract attention. The Montana court has
rendered a decision in favor of the Anr-
conda company in its Injunction suit
against Mr.. Heinz and this has created a
bitter feeling regarding the Copper seclri-
ties generally. IL Is said also that the in
dependent copper companies. with the ex
ception of the Heinz party have made
an agreement with the Amalgamated
company to restrict the output OF copper
and that the trade situation looks better
in consequence Another story is that Mr.
Lawson has been forgiven by the Stand

VIII Ask For a Recount.

1t il understood that the friends
of George r. Spence, Republican,
who was defeated by William B.
Davis, Democrat, for county com
missioner OF Cecil county by six
plurality, will petition the court for
recount of the ballots. Over 400
ballots were thrown outin the county
by the election judges, and it is
claimed that if they had been prop
erly counted Spence would have
been elected. The unofficial figures
gave Spence majority of Is votes,
but the official figures as returned
by the election judges at Elkton
gave Davis plurality of six votes.
The election of Davis practically
gives the Democrats control of the
county. The hold over commits
sioner, w. w. Michigan, is Dem
ocrat. The other commissioner, is
James Crothers, Republican. The
Board of County Commissioners has
the appointment of all minor county
officials, also the giving out of all
road and bridge contracts. Terry,
for sheriff; Christie and Rutter will
also ask for recount.

The Seventeen Year Locust.

State Entomologist J. B. Smith OF
New Jersey, predicts an unusually
bad plague of the seventeen year
locust next year, and has issued a
bulletin to the fruit growers and
farmers of the State that it will be
unwise to put out any young
fruit trees this Fall or next
Spring, because of the danger OF
total destruction. He describes it
as the twenty second brood of the
periodical cicada, which made its
last appearance in 1885 and did
much general damage. The locusts
coming lay their eggs in Sits made
il the trunks, branches or twigs of
of the trees, and invariably cause
serious injury to the young trees.
The growers are cautioned not to
trim fruit trees too closely, and, if
possible. to do no trimming at all.
1t is also considered wise to do no
budding or grating.

Shooting Rabbits in the Land of Nod

Albert LOTHIAN, son of William
LOTHIAN, of Elkton, while dreaming
early Tuesday mornig met with a
painful accident. Monday evening
young LOTHIAN borrowed a shotgun
for the purpose of going after rab-
bits. When he retired he carried
the gun to his room, and, placing it
alongside of his bed, soon fell asleep.
During his slumber he began to
dream of the abundance of game
that was in store for him and be-
came so enthusiastic that he picked
up the gun, and fired at his feet,
thinking them rabbit. The shot
entered the right foot, and it is
thought the member will have to
be amputated,

"A Nine Days WONDER"

The memorable reign OF Lady Jane
Grey is said to have given rise to the
phrase, "a nine days wonder" Lady
Jane was proclaimed queen of England
July 10, 1868, four days after the death
of Edward VI. After the lapse OF a
period Of nine days, on July 10, she re-
linquished her title to the crown, thus
terminating her reign in the short space
of week and half. A noted Eng
lish historian says, Thus we come to
the end of the diary of that short and
troubled reign that from its length is
said to have given rise to the now
QG2O) popular phrase, "A nine days
Won,ler.'"
