New York, May 7.-Oficers of the On
tario Lake Superior company and the Con-
solidated Lake Superior company, the Can
adian rival to the Morgan steel trust, have
issued the plan for consolidating the two
companies. There will be a meeting of
the stockholders Of the Consolidated COM

to approve the plan.
The plan proposes to increase the capi-
tai stock of the Consolidated Lake Superior
company to $117 900 900, of which $S5, ,OOO,-
600 will be non-c cumulative per cent pre-
ferred, and $50, 900 600 common stock The
par value of each share of the stock will

stock. Dividends of % per cent on pre-
ferred and 10 per cent on the common
stock Of the present Consolidated COM
pany will be declared, raising the values

equal amount. Any balance is to be
used to enlarge the plant being con-
stIucied ct Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, to
the capacity of $500 tons daily.

The minneapolis Man Bound to Be
in the Presidential Mind in
This Connection.

From The Journal Bureau. Room 4Ss PoS'
Building, Washington.
Washington, May Minister Conger
has been sharply criticised in official CIR
cles here for his article on Chlna' Whlch
appeared in the current issue Of an east
ern magazine A high official Of the state
department points out that Conger is still
minister to China and will continue in
that capacity until his resignation is
formally accepted, which will not be until
sixty days from the day of his arrival
home.
This being the case, it is thought to be
not improbable that Secretary Hay may
publicly reDrove the minister for discuss
ing with such undiplomatic freedom a
situation that touches and interests every
civilized nation. 1t is feared that if
Secretary Hay does not thus take the ini-
tiative he will have his attention officially
called to Conger's utterances by one or
more European nations which might char
aeterize them as something more serious
than mere contretemps.
An interesting fact has come out in con-
nectiOn with the discussion Of Conger
article It is that so far there have been
no applications for his position. Commits
sioner Rockhill undoubtedly would like it,
but the president is thought to want him
to continue as chief of the bureau OF
American republics after he shall have
discharged his present mission in Peking.
besides, Rockhiil is a democrat. Former
Minister DENLY of Indiana is said to be
preparing to apply.
BY general consent, Consul General
John Goodnow is in many ways better
fitted to succeed Conger than anybody
else in the country. but it is said the
president regards Goodnow's work at
Shanghai as being of the highest i'm
portance and does not want to interrupt
it.
A change from Shanghai to Peking
might be at the expense Of commercial
and diplomatic work at the former place,
for Goodnow has been very successfully
performing higher duties than those de-
volving upon the ordinary consul general.
Whether the president will change his
mind on this point only the future can
disclose. 1t is likely, however, that
Goodnow will be in the presidents mind
for the place, even if another should
finally be appointed. Now that Conger is
home, the mater will be promptly disposed
Of for it is believed the president desires
the new minister TO start for China al
most as soon as Conger's leave expires,

It's Final Recommendations, 1T Is
Believed, Will Be Influenced

New York, May I'm order to remove
the objection raised by the isthmian canai
commission, the Panama Canal company,
with the approval Of the Colombian gov

terms upon which it will sell the Panama

containing its roposition was submitted
to Rear Admiral Walker, chairman OF the

Hutin, president of the compan y, was
therefore unable to announce the terms
upon which the concession might be sold.
In its preliminary report the commission
referred TO his inability to make a propo-
sition, and placed stress upon it as an
important objection in the way of the
acquisition by the United States of the

The chances for securing approval Of

Justice Start is likely to raise the con-

parole is not an exercise Of the pardoning
power, and is therefore an extra judicial
duty that cannot be imposed on the chief
justice.

Saltwater Mimi, May AT regular
meeting of the board of managers of the
state prison to-day unanimous action was
taken in favor of paroling the Younger

Before the parole can be effective all

Paroles are usually granted by the pris-
on managers alone but in the case of life
prisoners unanimous approval of the
board of pardons is also necessary, and
such paroled life prisoners cannot leave
the state.
The pardon board does not meet regu-
larly until in July, but special meeting
may be called if the members Of the board
consider one necessary.
The resolutions adopted by the board Of
prison managers recite that the prisoners,

INDIAN TIMBER CUTTING
The Journal Sustained in an Official Report to
the Indian Bureau.

From The Journal B~reoW, Room; 40. Post
Building, WdshtaGtOt.
Washington, May Especial Agent Nc
Comas, who has been at White Earth in
vest:g ating various matters, has made
partial report on what he found in con-
nection with cutting of green timber by
dead and down contractors Officials of
the department will not divulge the con-
tents of the report, but say that the per-
centage of green timber cut is not so
large as that shown by T he ] ou r
al s inquiry yet at the same time it
is higher than has been claimed by the
department in statements that have been
printed in other twin city papers.
The Journal is upheld in this re-
port, in that extensive frauds were shown
to have been committed by contractors.
The Indian officials exult over the fact
that the report shows that contractors
have been forced to pay a round sum for
green timber illegally cut. This was also
exploited in T lie ] Journal and the
official reports corrOborate these state
meDts. Other reports are expected soon.

The iron ore rate case will be reopened.
The railroad and warehouse commission

the condition, however, that the roads

Before June 20 the Duluth & Iron Range
and the Duluth, Missabe & Northern roads
must file schedules of rates on iron ore from
shipping points to the Duluth docks and also
file with the commission an acknowledgement

what further evidence the companies have to
offer. Upon the filing of such schedule of
rates and stipulation the order of the COM
mission heretofore made fixing the rates for
the carrying of iron ore will be suspended
until further orders.
The commission also says in addition 10

Over a Million in New

Special to The Journal.
New York May 7.-Bankers in this city
declare that money from the interior is
coming in in greater volume than at any
time since the movement began. Cur
rency is being attracted here by the ad-
vance in money rates. The banks Of
Minneapolis and St. Paul are among the
heaviest contributors.
A letter received to-day from Mime
apolis by a local banker states that a
prominent financial concern in that city
has loaned over 81 .090,0 ,000 in this city
within the past month.

to loan our money" the letter adds, $50
we have to seek employment for it in New
York A number of institutions that have
heretofore loaned their available funds
on farm mortgages are now buying stocks
of a gilt-edged character"
The concensus of opinion in banking
circles is that the extraordinary activity
of the stock market is due more to the
volume of money from the west seeking
employment than anything else.

TO RETIRE STOCK
Common Stock to Be Left Free to

Common Stock to Be Left Free to
Enjoy All Net Receipts.
Special to The Journal
New York, May Tt is announced on
good authority that the SIS, ,O0O, 900 per
cent preferred stock of the Northern Pa
cifc railroad is to be retired at 110 in
8 per cent bonds, thus leaving the COM
mon stock free to enjoy all of the net
receipts. Persons close to the manage
ment declare that the company can easily
pay per cent on the common stock, and
that it will do so under its close-wo
ing arrangement with the Burlington and
Great Northern railroads. The Northern
Pacific has the right to retire the pre-
ferred stock at 800 share in cash, but
it would be impracticable to make cash
transaction of it, and it is calculated that
the offer of 31a per cent bonds at 110 will
prove attractive to shareholders, and that
the transaction will go through without
a hitch.
This plan was outlined several months
ago, and it was foreknowledge of this
that led some to predict that Northern
Pacific common would go to $125 a share.
That prediction was more than realized
yesterday, and the preferred shares also
enjoyed good rise on the notion that
31a per cent bond will sell close to par,
making the present preferred stock worth
perhaps 105 or 106.
Besides the saving of nearly one-half
of 1 per cent on the bonds to be issued
in exchange for the preferred stock, off,
cials of the Northern Pacific expect to
save from l to 2 per cent additional by
the operation Of the Burlington, thereby
yielding net earnings for Northern Pa
cific of or per cent even in duller
times than the present.

NORTHERN PACIFIC CONTROL
Various Stories About the Causes of Yesterdays
Rise in Stock---One has It That Hill Lost
Control to Vanderbilt.

New. York, May 7.-Oficers of the
Northern Pacific are reticent about the
affairs of the company. James j. Hill
said that he knew of no reason for the
big rise in the stock. He denied that
there was any new deal with other systems
which was responsible for the stock move
ment.
The sharp rise in Canadian Pacific has
led to story that new traffic arrange
ment is contemplated between that com
pany and the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific. There is believed to be some
foundation for the story, inasmuch as Mr..
Hill is very influential with the directors
of the Canadian Pacific. There is a desire
on both parts to reach a better working
arrangement between the several compan-
les, particularly with reference to main
tenance.
New York, May w K. Vanderbilt
wrested the control Of Northern Pacific
from ]. ]. Hill and his friends yesterday.
At least that is the story which was told
last night, on good authority, in explana-
tion of the sensational rise of Northern
Pacific shares on the stock exchange.
According to this informant Hill and a
few of his close friends sold 200, 900 shares
of Northern Pacific short in the latter
liking this when he learned it, aided Mr..
Vanderbilt to catch Mr.. Hill and his
friends mapping, so to speak, and by quick
work added the control of Northern Pa
fic to that of the Union Pacific, which Mr..
Vanderbilt secured last week.
In support of this theory it was further
declared that on Friday and Saturday Of
last week certain large European hold
ings of Northern Pacific were acquired by
American interests at a TEice far above
even the highest quotation in yesterday S
New York market. AS both j. P. Morgan
and w. X. Vanderbilt are in or near Paris,
the alleged transaction was promptly
ascribed to them.
| According to the same informant Mr..
Hill, when he found that Northern Pacific
had slipped out of his hands, at once made
a desperate effort to buy control of the
Canadian Pacific, and this was said to ac-
count for the jump in that stock.
