GREAT NORTHERN RUMOR.
1t is Now Reported That Hill Will Re.
tire and Chief Engineer Will Be
General Manager.


The rumor that James j. Hill, of
the Great Northern will shortly give
up the active management of his ri.
gantic railroad system, and devote his
time to bigger deals, keeps bobbing
up with the persistency of a nine
lived cat. 1t has often been repeated
that Mr.. Hill will be succeeded by
a general manager and ever and anon
the story is sent out from St. Paul
that this or that prominent railroad
man is to have the office. The name
oftenest coupled with the storyis that
of John F. Stevens, the chief engineer
of the Great Northern system and
there is reason to believe that the
story is worthy ofcredence. One thing
is certain and that is that the en-.
gineering work of the Great Northern
system is being cleaned up more thor
oughly and the chief Office in St. Paul
is requiring the outside engineers to
send in complete estimates to a cent
on the work that has been done by
them during the year. That has the
appearances of a contemplated
change of heads in the chief office,
for never in the history of the road
have the officials been so exacting
about returns. That coupled with
the we'll known fact that Mr.. Hill
was recently in New York and to
gether with Morgan and Rockefeller,
brought about the pooling of issues
Of the big railroad systems. sending
railroad stocks skyward. it certainly
looks as though Hill was going in
for bigger things. 1t would naturally
follow that if he does, he will give
the Great Northern management to
some one else and it is conceded that
Chief Engineer Stevens is we'll fitted
for the general managership.

FRIEND OF EARL Ii.
DIR. Louis Seaman Speaks of the
Statesman's Illness.

New York, Nov. S.-One of the most
intimate friends of Lii Hung Chang IN
this country is Dr. Louis L. seaman,
of this city. DR.. Seaman, who was
formerly a surgeon in the United states
army serving in Porto Rico and the
Philippines, spent considerable tine III
China during the of 1898. so close
did the army surgeon approach the as
tinguished Chinaman, owing TO d
friendship between the doctors father
and Earl Lii, that at one time he was
invited to accept of the hospitality OF
the viceroy's palace for year"
Speaking of the earPs last illness, Dr.
Seaman said:
when said goodbye to Earl Ii last
March 1 did not expect that he was SO
soon to leave his people. He was a
very old man, and had been a sufferer
from stomach trouble, dyspepsia ana
indigestion all his life. This was prln-
cipally because he took little or no ex-
ercise. In China it is against the dig
nifty of a man to be seen walking, and
about all the walking Lii did was to
and from his sedan chair tried TO
argue him into that for the sake or
his health he must take walks or other
exercise but in this respect he could not
be reformed.
Il do not believe that Ii would have
died had DR.. Mark been in attendance
as usual. DIR. Mark is an exceedingly
able physician. But at the time of Lis
death he was away with Prince Chuan,
who went to Germany to apologize TO
ly took any care of himself, and it was
only by constant vigilance on the part
of DR.. Mark that he was kept alive to
the ripe old age that he was permitted
to attain.
I'm stature Ii Hung Chang was
veritable giant. His physique was
splendid, all except his legs, which were
undeveloped and thin for want of ex-
ercise They had become atrophied from
lack of use.
'.The incident which brought US to-
gether closer than ever before was
when we were discussing the rights of
the United States to the Philippines,
Lii arguing that by right the islands
belonged to China. Finally he said that
he wanted to know what right the
United States had more than any other
robber to enter the islands. answered
him briefly, calling his attention to the
efforts of Russia, England, Germany,
France and Italy to split China, and
said: I should think your excellency.
you had enough bad eggs in your own
basket without wishing for another
country that is STEPPED in war The
answer he liked, and from that moment
he became even more than ever
charming host"

WANTS TO DIVIDE.
Kansas City Board of Trade Would
Form Partnership With Kansas.

The Kansas City board of trade wants
to go into partnership with the state OF
Kansas in maintaining weighmaSterS at
the big grain elevators in Kansas City,
Kansas. In return for helping in the
matter the board of trade wants the
state to divide the fees with it.
When the Kansas City people asked
State Grain Inspector Northrup to make
this arrangement he told them he did
not not think the Kansas laws would
allow it, but that he would refer 1T to
Attorney General GODDARD, which he has
done. Mr.. GODDARD says the fees cannot
be divided.
The State Grain Dealers association
has been maintaining weighmasterS OF
it's own at the terminal elevators, but
it has discontinued them.
There has always been more or less
trouble between Kansas shippers and
shortages. A shipper would be positive
that he put a certain amount of grain
in a car and that it could not possibly
leak out, but the returns made by the
elevators where it was unloadeI might
show shortage running all the way
from five to fifteen bushels, which some
times ate up all of the profits. Some of
the farmers shipping associations will
not ship to Kansas City because of
these shortages, and their grain is di-
verted from the Kansas City board of
trade.
In some instances the shortage is
somewhere but more often of careless
ness in unloading the cars. The con-
Signees will not, of course, pay for more
than the returns show they receive and
the shipper has to stand the loss, which
the shipper does not like.

FRANCE IN A FOG.
Paris Greatly Resembles London
These Days.

New York, Nov. s.-According to the
Paris correspondent of the Herald, on
account of the fog it requires no
stretch of imagination on the part OF
the Parisians nowadays to mistake the
French capital for London.
The whole of France is practically in
the same position. From all parts of
the provinces comes news of the log
and it's inevitable drawbacks
Railway traffic, suburban and proVln-
ciaI, is very seriously disorganized. No
steamboats, dare to venture forth on the
Seine. The tramways and OMNIBUS
lines maintain their service with the
utmost difficulty. The ordinary routine
of Paris offices and workshops is COM
pletely upset, as thousands of business
men, clerks and employees are unable TO
report themselves for duty until long
after the appointed hour.
The weather expert at the central
meteorological bureau says that the fog
is caused by the sudden lowering OF the
rnoisture-laden atmosphere when the
soil is warmer than the layers OF air

resignation to take effect January 1

deferred for a week. DR.. Fisk thanked
the congregation for the kindness shown
him and his wife and said he expected

after leaving it as pastor. DR.. Fisk will
lecture at Washburn college on soci-
ology and will travel over the state in
the interests of the institution. The
church has no one under consideration
to succeed DR.. Fisk and no one will be

SCHLEY COURT.
Admiral Taylor Says Spanish Ships Did Not
Attempt to Ram Brooklyn.


Washington, D. c., Oct. 9.-The morn
ing's session of the Schley court opened
with Lieut.. Bristc,. watch officer on the
Texas during the war, still on the stand.
He gave it as his opinion, again, that the
stadimeter is n very unreliable instru.
ment for measuring distances.
Rear Admiral Taylor, who commanded
the Indiana during the war, was the next
witness. He testified that 10 minutes
after the battle begun his signal officer
said:
1.-The Brooklyn must be injured; she
is dropping out of action"
Witness saw the Brooklyn heading
south about quarter of mile outside
of the American column. She was not
turning, as far as he could see. He could
not tell how close together the Brooklyn
and the Texas were. He said there was
no attempt on the part Of the Spanish
ships to ram the Brooklyn.
Here Counsel Raynor attempted to in
troduce the signals made by Sampson. in
which he instructed before departing for
Sibony, on the day of the battle, to ig.
more his movements. Lemly succeeded
in preventing their introduction. Ray
nor wanted to introduce them to show
that Schley was absolute commander OF
the fleet when the battle took place.

official reports of the Great Northern
give the injured as three, Engineer Field
ing, Brakeman Carter, Fireman Stallcut.
The official report OF the accident %
given out by Superintendent KENNEDY
as follows:
"Our report is very meager. Two
trains met in head-end collision five
miles west of Wenatchee, seven miles
from the old Mission. The cause Of the
accident, from reports received, is due to
the negligence Of one Of two operators,
either day or night operator at Wenat.
chez. 1t happened in the transfer OF
message between the two men.
"The mistake was discovered shortly
after the train left Wenatchee, but was
too late. Reports were brought III by
the section foreman and Conductor
Davis of the east.bound freight, who
reached Wenatchee shortly after the
section foreman. The relief train was
dispatched at once to the scene OF the
wreck. Two engines and three cars
were derailed. How badly the men are
hurt l cannot tell. Conductor Moore
was in charge of the west-bound freight"
Unofficial reports state that many
others were injured and that George
Barr, an engineer living in Spokane, was
killed.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 8.-Capt. Fol-
ger, who commanded the New Orleans
during the war, took the stand at the
opening of today's session of the Schley
court, to resume his testimony OF yester-
day. He said he suggested to Schley the
circular blockade as being more effective
in preventing the escape of the enemy,
but Schley did not agree with him.
Lieut.. Mark Bristol, watch officer on
the Texas during the war, testified that
nothing was done to destroy the earth.
works at Cienfuegos.
Bristol testified that the Texas was in.
iured slightly while coaling off Santiago.
He received no orders in the event of the
enemy coming out. He felt sure the
shore batteries at Santiago amounted to
nothing. and he said that when Samp.
son bombarded them, they were silenced
in short time.
Commander Wainwright, who COM
manded the Gloucester at Santiago, was
the next witness called. He testified
that the Brooklyn, in making the loop,
did not pass within $500 feet OF the
Texas.
If that be true, the Texas was not en-
dangered.
He stated that one Of the Spanish
ships turned her course as though to ram
one of the American ships.
