RUSSIA MULCTS AN AMERICAN
Must Pay for Prematurely Leaving
Cars Army, or See His Aged
Father Lose His Home.
(By Associated Press. }

(By Associated Press.)
st. Paul, May Ill. D. Horne a natur-
alized citizen and member Of a whole
sale firm in this city, has been forced by
the Russian government, of which coun-
try he is a native, to pay a fine Of 600 rou-
bles, amounting to $3.50.
Mr.. Horne received notice several
months ago from Russia that the fine had
been imposed because he did not serve
his time in the Russian army. Through
the American minister at st. Petersburg
he arbitrated the matter. claiming ex-
emption because of his American citizen
ship. He offered to 90 to Russia in per-
son, but the American minister informed
him that 1t would be exceedingly diha-
cult to secure his release from the arrest
which would surely follow.
The Russian government attached the
homestead Of Mr.. Horne's parents at
Nesen. Northern Russia, to secure pay
ment Of the fine. Mr.. Horne"s parents
are aged, and their only property is their
sons. To prevent them from being turn
ed out, Horne paid his fine.

New York, May 11.-How is Union Pa
cific going to be affected by the contest
now in progress for control of Northern
Pacific, is question which is being dis
cussed with great interest by Wall
street. If Mr.. Hartman and his asso-
ciates succeed in their endeavor to OBJ
tain control of Northern Pacific, the an
swer to the question is comparatively
simple. BY that operation the Union
Pacific, through it's control of Northern
Pacific, would come virtually into pos
session of the latter's one-half interest
in the Burlington system, and the post
ton would be materially strengthened.
If, however, it should develop, as the
street seems inclined to think will be
the case, that Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Hill
have obtained a clear majority of the
Northern Pacific stocks, a situation will
be created which, in the present temper
of the opposing forces, is thought by
Wall street to be one of much gravity
For the Burlington control gives the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific, both paralleling the Union Pacific
on the north, an outlet Of their own from
Minneapolis and st. Paul to Chicago,
and gives the Northern Pacific also a
direct outlet from the Pacific coast to
Kansas City, Omaha and other points in
the Union Pacific territory.
The St. Paul and Northwestern roads
also find their interests menaced by the
Burlington deal, and these companies,
which are in harmony with the Union

Del Monte. Cal, May 1.-THE presi-

this morning and will remain over Sun
day at this far-famed resort There is
no fixed programme, except the visit to
the Grand Army encampment at Pacific
grove and a drive along the ocean front
this afternoon, and two days of rest
will prepare the president and his party
for the ordeal they will have to undergo
at San Francisco next week.
Governor Nash and his party and the
Ohio congressional delegation also
reached the Delmonte hotel this morn

afternoon.
The Ohio people who are on their way
to San Francisco to see the launching

Ohio congressman and Governor Nashs
party have clashed over a question of
precedence and harmony Is wanting.
The people of California have been cor.

but naturally President Mckinley has
received the most attention, and Gov.
Nash and his party, who are travelling
on separate train, have been a little
In the background. At Los Angeles it

The special bearing Gov. Nash and
other Ohio people arrived here before
daybreak and joined the presidential
party. The chagrin that the guberna-
torlal party expressed over it's alleged
mistreatment at Los Angeles became
more intense during the trip of the last
"a hours, and broke out into open revolt
here at conferences in the Hotel Del
monte.
The special cars bearing the Ohio con-
gressmen were attached to the Ohio spec
ial at Los Angeles. This seemed to add
to the ill-feeling of the governors party
who complained that they had been an
annexed section to the presidential party
and now were given third place. The
congressman seemed equally dissatisfied
with the new arrangement, and finally it
was decided that the congressman should

CARDINAL WILL TAKE A REST

Chicago. May 11.-Whether the stars.
millions of miles away, send to the earth's
surface any heat along with their rays
of light, a question which has long puZ.
zled astronomers. has been finally solved.
The heat from these far off bodies has
not only been detected but measured. 1t
has been masured by one of the most del
cate and sensitive astronomical instru-
mentS ever made,an instrument capable
of measuring heat of a candle IA mi.e
away.
The credit for solving the problem and
for constructing this delicate instrument
belongs to Prof Z. F. Nichols Of Dart-
mouth. The experiments, were. however.
performed at the Yerkes observatory Of
the University of Chicago. where Prof.
Nichols spent two of his summer vacA-
tions The results obtained from tn".e
experiments have Just been carefully re-
viewed and computed and sent to Prof.

Appreciable Star Heat.
Prof. Nichols experiments at the
Yerkes observatory have at first proved
beyond a doubt that The plirers and some
of the fixed stars send an appreciable
quantity Of heat to the earth. The guam
tity. however. is so minute that the Won
der is that an instrument could be made
sensitive enough to detect II.

Perhaps the best tips for the Ameri-

him profited by the rise in American Sc

Stories are told of some fortunate

pended wagged their heads and said that
they had foreseen the inevitable collapse.
These brokers were surprised by the dis
patches just received indicating greatly
improved feeling in the American mar
ket and leader writer's were convinced
that they had been premature in playing

FUTURE PROSPERITY
Looked for Along the Line Of the Baft-
more and Ohio


1t is very evident that the old B. &
o. will soon become one of the bust
est systems in the country. as the P.
r. r. will work in conjunction with
it and the two together will control
nearly all the freight Shipments from
the west to tide water. The present
dull season can indirectly be traced
in the management of the road
on the maturity of the two systems
plans. Within the next week.. or Eten
days all of these official changesgwill
it is said, be made and the season of
uncertainty passed then there will be
great revival in business.
The Pittsburg Post in speaking Of
the joint interests of the two lines
said
Regarding the relationship of the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio it must be remembered that they
are in similar territory, entering the
cities of PHILADELPHIA, Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Akron, Newark, Wheeling,
Columbus, Louisville, st. Louis and
Cincinnati. Both roads have all the
traffic they can handle now, and
President Cassatt, of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad recommended that the
Baltimore and Ohio be placed in a
position where it could be controlled
and the interests of both systems con-
served. This has been done and ar
engagements are to be made soon for
a division of the traffic which will be
OF benefit to all concerned. The same
financial powers are now at the head
of both roads, and they are to be op-
Grated on a harmonious agreement
which will be drawn up IN the Wall
street New York, and Lombard
street, London, sanctums.
The future outlook of the B. & O.
could not be more promising and
with the two great roads working ami
cablv together there will be no rate
cutting and BETTER wages can be paid.
