NOW SETTLING DETAILS
OFFICIAL STATEMENT STILL WANT
ING IN BIG RAILROAD DEAL.

NEW YORK, Nov. SIT is said today
that so much progress has been made in
the details of the settlement of the
Northern Pacific and Burlington situa-
ton that it will not be necessary to hold
many more joint conferences. 1t is be-
lieved at the Union Pacific railroad di-
rectors' meeting, to be held in this city
this week, the whole plan, as it affects
the company's interests, viii lbe laid be-
fore the meeting, although it could not
be learned today whether any official
statement will be made.
1t is believed that the agreement reach
cd includes the transfer of all the North
ern Pacific shareholdings of the Union
Pacific interests to the new company, to
be organized by President J. ]. Hill, of
the Great Northern. and which will hold
the control of that company and the
Northern Pacific. Mr.. Hill will be the
nominating influence in this new corpo-
ration. and thus of the two Northwest
ern railways.
The plan embraces the retirement of
the Northern Pacific preferred shares.
this plan being now practicable through
the turning over of the Northern Pa
cifc holdings of the Union Pacific. 1t is
believed that the Northern Pacific pre-
ferred shares will be retired by the is
sue Of bonds, although this is detail III
the new organization of the Hill financial
company which remains to be settled.

CARRIERS CLAIM TO WEALTH
Is the Only Question Really In.
yOIved in Rehenring.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The cabinet
meeting today developed the fact that
there exists an entire misrepresentation
regarding the legal proceedings which are
to take place in Chicago in the case Of
Oberlin M. Carter, who was convicted
by military court-martial of embezzle-
ment and sentenced to term in the pen
itentiary at Leavenworth, Kan.
Attorney General Knox explained to the
president and cabinet today that Capt.
Carter was not to be given a new trial
before Judge Kohlsaat, as has been err
roneously reported. The government has
about 100000 of the property belonging
to Capt. Garter and the question which
will be tried before Judge Izohlsaat re-
lates only to the title to that property.
Incidentally. of course, the question of
Capt. Carriers conviction by military
court will be raised, but Attorney Cen
eral Knox told the cabinet that it was
in no rense a new trial of Capt. Carriers
case before a civil tribunal.
Attorney General Knox said that with
the Sl50,0O0 which the government soon
will recover, the total amount restored
to the government will foot up over half
a million dollars.

Z. Bids for street lighting during the year
1902, We're opened at the meeting of the

per arc per year.
Not q word was heard from the special
committee of one alderman from each
ward which, during the afternoon, had
turned down Aid. Leighton's municipal
electric light plant bond issue proposition.
That was because a majority Of the COM
mittee could not be induced to sign
majority report.
The committee comprises thirteen
aldermen. Of the ten present yesterday
afternoon, only six voted against the
proposition. a majority report required
the signature of seven members. The
three absentees were Aid. S. E. Adams,
DWyer and McCune the last named being
out Of the city.
When Aid. Adams and Dwyer were
asked at the meeting last night to sign
the majority report they declined to do
SO, thereby indicating that they were in
favor OF submitting the question of
bond issue to the vote of the people
Their refusal left the matter in the air,
where it will remain until Aid. McCune
returns to break the tie. 1t is under
stood that Aid. McCune will support Aid.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S. Secretary
Root has issued an order changing the

OUR SHIPPING GROWS
MAXIMUM OF 1861 REACHED DUR
ING THE PAST YEAR
American Vessels Are shown, How
ever, to Garry but a Small Per-
centage OF the Worlds
Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The report of
Mr.. Chamberlain, the United States COM
missioner of navigation, says that the
rast fiscal year has been the third sue
cessive year of notable prosperity and
growth in American shipping, exceeding
the two previous years. The extent and
nature of work under way or projected in
shipyards promises an even greater
growth for the current fiscal year.
American tonnage now has attained
practically the former maximum of 1861.
The figures of 1901, compared with 1861
show an increase in coasting trade yes
sells from 2,7O45 44 tons to 4,5S2,6S5 tons
two-thirds of this increase being on the
great lakes a decrease in foreign trade
vessels from 2496 1874 tons to S19,S95 tons
and a decrease in whaling and fishing
vessels from 38S356 tons to 6l,940 tons.
OF our total tonnage 1928 Ol tons are
wooden vessels and only 1901, OF tons are

The tonnage built and documented III
tae United States during the past hscal
wear comprises 1850 vessels of 4S5, 4o9
gross tons The steel vessels under con-
str11ction or under contract during the
current fiscal year will much exceed SINH
lar tonnage built in any previous year.
The bureau is advised of 80 such mer-
chant vessels of 5,645 gross tons, to be
valued at about $36, 000, 600 Besides these,

The building of 10 transatlantic steam

of a steamer of the "Minnehaha' type
will be 81, SAC, 500 the British cost 81, 49,

represent himself as an employe of some
railroad company having just recently
moved into the city. He orders a bin
of goods and asks to have them sent UP
to the house and his wife will pay for
them, as he has no money with him.
During his conversation he tells the
grocer what his salary is and intimates
that he is in pretty good circumstances.
After ordering his goods he leaves the
store, but returns in few minutes with
the excuse that he wishes to make a
small purchase on the way home, but
he does not happen to have the ready
money with him to do SO, and asks the
grocer to lend him a dollar, adding it
to his bill, and tells the grocer that his
wife will pay everything when the goods
are delivered
In several cases he has been given the
dollar, and when the goods were taken
to the address given it was found to be

Since last night the old prison has pre-
scented an air of activity that it has not

were given the guards were formed in
marching -rorder and mounted men,
armed to the teeth, were drawn UP in

the guards were old plainsmen, and the
diversion of hunting down criminals

have done. The escaped convicts were

out on tier hunt in full realization of
this fact
1t is believed that all the convicts viii
ultimately be captured if not overtaken
by the guards and shot. Each prisoner
has undergone an examination under
the Bertillon system, and today these
descriptions were mailed to every chief
of police in the country.
The reports show that the convicts
are securing farmers horses end yum
ming them at a high speed until the
animals give out, and then pressing in
fresh ones whenever found. BY making
these relays they are trying to outride
the officers to the territory. No one but
guards and civil officers out for the re-
ward are now in the chase. The sof
dierS are keeping watch over the reser-

the new penitentiary, where all work is
suspended, and the cOnvicts held in cells

DENIES THE CHARGE.
Nelson Claims Jackson Was Prop
erIy Cared for by Attendants

City Physician Henry S. Nelson denies
the claim Of George F. Jackson that he
was cruelty treated at the city hospital.
Mr.. Jackson is a victim of loconlotor
ataxia, and while walking through Cen
tral park Wednesday night fell uncon-
scious, and was taken to the city hos
pital.
Mr. Jackson says that at the hospital
he was pinched and needles inserted into
tender parts of his body, the physicians
evidently supposing that he was sham
ming illness He also claims that a
heavy pressure was put on the lower part
of the abdomen, and that he has suf-
fered from pain in that region ever since
DR.. Nelson claims that nothing was
done that a physician would not resort
to under the circumstances. He main
tains that Mr.. Jackson has no grievance
No pins were used, he says. but as in all
cases of this kind. an effort was made
to produce pain. Dr. Nelson further ad,
mits that a heavy pressure was put OIL
the abdomen, but that the method adopt
ed in cases of this kind is recognized by
medical science
