ROAD ENDOWED FROM RETIRING
 THE PREFERRED STOCK.
Also From Selling Any Evidence of debtedness or Liability of Any De- scription and From Entering Into Any Arrangement With the Northern rn.
Securities Company.

!
 [ St. Paul. Minn., Dec. 30.-Just after the noon hour to-day President Charles s. Mellen, of the Northern Pacific Rail- 1 way company, was served with papers which enjon the company from retiring
 the preferred tsock.
 The injunction restraints the Northern Pacific Railway company from issuing or selling any debenture bonds or other evidence of indebtedness, or cre- ating any indebtedness or liability of any description, for the purpose of raising money with which to pay or re- tire the preferred stock of the Northern Pacific Railway company, or from using or appropriating any moneys or pro ceeds, other than the ordinary or sur- plus net earnings of the company to the retirement of the preferred stock of said company; also from creating any liability other than the ordinary lia- bility for the operating expense of It's railroad system and the indebtedness now existing, which would take preced- ence of the common stock of said com pany; also from placing it's property in the possession or under the control of the Northern Securities company; or from entering into any arrangement through the medium of the Northern Securities company, or otherwise, with the Great Northern Railorad company, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway company or either of them, for the purpose of causing the North ern Pacific railway system to be oper- ated in connection with or by the same authority as the other roads; or from entering into any agreement with said companies or either of them, for the purpose of avoiding competition and fixing rates.
 The bill alleges that the Northern Pacific Railway company and the Great Northern railroad lines are parallel to the Pacific ocean and that the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy has a parallel line from Billings, Mont, to Chicago and that all such lines are competing for the business of the northwest.
 It is alleged that the officers of the Northern Pacific Railway company during the last summer, went into combination with the Great Northern and the Chicago, Burlington and Quin- cy, the purpose of which was to con- solidate the three systems under one management; and knowing that it could not be legally effected, the direc- tors of the three companies. for the purpose of doing indirectly swhat they could not do directly, caused to be or ganized the Northern Securities com

Meeting of Governors and Attorne
 Generals of Western States.


 Helena. Mont, Dec. 3O.--No action was taken to-day at the meeting of the governors and attorneys general of the northwest ern states, called to consider plans for opposing the proposed con- solidation of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington rail- way systems. From the discussion at these meetings, however, 1t is consid- cred probable that the plan of Cover nor Van Sant of Minnesota will be en- dorsed by the executives of other states who were present and that the fight against the railroad consolidation will be carried to finish.
 What this plan is Governor Van Sant refuses to state until the meeting to- morrow morning shall have taken ac- tion. The meetings were held in Cover nor Tooe's private office and behind closed doors. There were present be- sides Governor Toole and Attorney General Donovan of Montana, Cover nor Van Sant and Attorney General Douglass of Minnesota, Governor Her rled and Attorney General Pyle of South Dakota, Governor Hunt and At- torney General Martin of Idaho and Attorney General Stratton of Wash ington, Governor Mcbride of that state not being able to be present, owing to the death of the late Governor Rogers. Governor White of North Dakota was also expected to attend the conference, but 1t was impossible for him to at tend.
 The meeting was organized by the election of Governor Van Sant as chair man and Attorney General Martin of Idaho as secretary.

DIAMOND MEDAL FOR SCHLEY
ESENTED BY JUNIOR UNITED
 AMERICAN MECHANICS.
Rev. C. F. Wyatt in His Presentation Speech Declared the People Had Sub stituted the Minority Report of the Court of Inquiry for the Majority The AdmirRI's Response.

1 Washington, Dec. 30.-The Maryland 1 American Mechanics to-day presented to Rear Admiral Winfield s. Schley a
 magnificent medal, studded with dia-
 monds, as an evidence of their personal
 esteem and admiration and of his ser
 vices to the country. The presentation | took place in Admiral Schley's apart
 ments in this city and was made by a committee from the councils. Rev. c. F. Wyatt, acting as spokesman of the committee, referred to Admiral Schley's participation in the battle of Santiago and his conduct following it and added that his unselfshness had endeared him to the hearts of the American people. Referring to the court of inquiry, Dr. Wyatt said the people had sympathized with the admiral in the ordeal through which he had passed and had substitut- ed the minority report for that of the majority because they weighed opinions rather than counted them. Time, he added, twill but increase the apprecia tion of your services and the brilliancy of your fame"
 Admiral Schley sincerely thanked the committee and added "The services which this beautiful emblem is intend- ed to commemorate, were those which every loyal lover of home and country will gladly perform for his people and ffr, hot, fnf, tune to have participated on that event. full third day of July in an engagement which readjusted the geographical lines on this continent and this testi monia1 from your organization is only another recognition of my fellow coun- trymen that these services have met their approval. I thank you again for this kind tribute"

EXCITEM ENT DYING OUT.
No More Talk of Lymchiug Miss Crop
 sey's Alleged Murderer.

Elizabeth City, N. C.. Dec. 30.-Flx- citement over the Cropsey case is dying out and business is being resumed The talk of lynching James Wilcox is heard no longer, the people having decided to permit the law to take its course. The citizens committee and Solicitor Ward are collecting evidence against Wilcox to present to the grand jury when it meets in March next.
 There has been a report that Wilcox had been removed to Norfolk, Va. for safe keeping, the authorities fearing the people would attack the jail. To- night Sheriff Grandy denied this. Will cox is still fn jail here and the town authorities Expect no further trouble. solyicitor Ward has insisted that Will cox be given preliminary hearing next Wednesday. He, was anxious that it should be held to-day, but E. F. Ayd- lett, who represents Wilcox, demurred, saying that he had not had an oppor- tunity to consult with his father, who is ill at his home. It is more than probable that MT. Aydlett will waive the preliminary hearing and allow the case to go direct to the grand jury. Any attempt to get Wilcox out on bail will be resisted by Solicitor Ward.
 Members of the citizens committee assert that they have much additional evidence of which the public is in ig- norance, It is known that one impor- tant piece of evidence which the com mittee has is an empty whiskey bolt tie found on the river bank in front of the 4 has identified the bottle as having been sold by him and has also stated that he sold one like it to Wilcox Wilcox absolutely refused to make state ment.

CARNEGIE WOULD NOT CHE.
A National Theater Not a Proper Thing
 for Private Gifts.

New York, Dec. 30.-In it's issue of tomorrow the Theater will print the following statement from Andrew Car negie, whose name has frequently been used In connection with a proposed en- doWed national theater:
 ''On the continent of Europe many theaters are subsidized by government, but none by English speaking peoples in any part of the world. It would be an experiment here. and, if to be made, should be by the government, as in Eu- rope. It does not seem a proper field for private gifts.

MRS. EDIA c. MUIR DEAD
WAS OPPOSING YALE IN THE COURTS OYER MONKEYS WILL.

| Which Amounted to Many IhOusahus -lyas to Revert to Yafe on the Death of MT. Baldwin, Mrs. Muir and Her Two Children.
 New York, Dec. 3o.-Mrs. Edla Cole man Muir daughter of the late Senator McPherson of New Jeresey, is dead at the Manhattan hotel this city. Mrs. Muir suffered from pneumonia, complicated with measles. Two months ago Mrs. Muir left the Hotel Majestic. where she stopped, following her return from Europe late in the summer. She went to the Manhattan hotel, but spent most of her time with friends in New Jersey.
 With Mrs Muir when she died were her attorney, Arthur Johns, and her friend, Miss Caroline Green of Jersey City, a daughter of exGovernor Rob- ert S. Green
 A cablegram was sent to Mrs Muir's husband, Dr. Joseph Muir, who is the United States consul at Stockholm, Sweden. Mrs Muir will probably be buried beside her father and mother in Washington, D. c.
 Some years ago there was a reputed estrangement between Mrs. Muir and her mother. On the death of Mrs. Me- Pherson several months ago, it was dis covered that Mrs. Muir had received but life interest in the estate, which was valued at one time in the neigh borhood of five millions of dollars. Mrs. McPherson divided the income of her estate, after several bequests to chari- ties, between Aaron s. Baldwin of Ho- boken a lifelong friend of Senator McPherson, and Mrs. Muir, the prop erty to revert at their deaths and the death of Mrs. Muir's two children, to Yale university. At this time Mrs. Muir was in Europe but she returned soon after her mothers death and be- gan suit to break the will, on the ground that Mir Baldwin had used un- due influence
 It is said that a settlement had been arrived at between counsel for Mrs. Muir. MT. Baldwin and the trustees of Yale, through which a disposition of the estate satisfactory to all parties was effected. The papers, it is said had been drawn and awaited Mrs Muir's signature. She then became i'll and the matter was put off from time to time, pending Mrs. Muir's recovery. In some quarters 1t is thought her death will end in MT. Baldwin's receiv ing life interest in the estate and the property eventually reverting to Yale university.

TALK OF VAR WITH AMERICA.
HThinnest Kind of Sensational Non.
 sensc,' Says Ambassador White.

sense," Says Am basaadOr White.
 Berlin, Dec 3O--The Tageblatt this evening prints double leaded cable dispatch from Washington setting fortf that the principal military and maya authorities there consider that war be- tween the United Sta tes and Germany sooner or later, is inevitable.
 The United States ambassador, An drew D. White, to-day informed the German newspaper men who called at the embassy that the reports of the possibility of war between the United States and Germany were the "thinnest kind of sensational nonsense" Not one of the authorities referred to in the Tageblatt's dispatch, he added, would, under any circumstances, disclose such an opinion, least of all when the rela- tions between the two countries are so good as at present.
 Moreover" said MT. White, "Presi- dent Roosevelt, the conmander-in- chief of both the army and the navy, it is well known, entertains not only off, cial but personal predilections for Ger many, which have been made known, not only officially to the German gov ernment but which have long been known among his friends. He studied in Germany, reads and loves German literature and has most sincere per- sonal respect for the German emperor.
 Any utterances of the kind alleged by an officer of either service would be sternly rebuked by President Roose- velt
 The German government desires, be- yond anything else, in this matter to avoid disturbing the government or the people of the United States. German newspapers published to-day are full of expressions of this kind and many of these expressions are so much alike that it is easy to infer their utterance was suggested by the government. A remarkable thing is the fact that there is not single unkind expression to- wards the United States in any of this newspaper comment. Even the dis patch from Washington to a New York newspaper, printed yesterday, to the eff feet that persons of importance in the war and navy departments consider war with Germany and the United States to be inevitable, has been re- produced everywhere throughout Ger many, IS QlSCuSS6Q COOliy d1lCl, lOI lHe most part, treated with incredulity.
 "We hope that this opinion" says the Berliner Neuesta Nichrichten, which grew out of the Spanish war and which we consider to be wholly erroneous, will soon give place to a more correct conception of Germanys aims. It is quite unreasonable that the people in the United States, holding such opinion, should connect this opinion with the Venezuelan affair, insomuch as Wash ington has been fully informed of Ger mary's intentions"
 The Local Anzeiger says: "The task for our diplomacy is to make German interests prevail against Venezuela without, at the same time, losing touch with the American government. The authorities at Washington have up to the present time shown such intelli- gent comprehension of the situation and friendly disposition towards Gernany's wishes, that no grounds for apprehen- sions exist at this point
