MOVEMENT OF GOLD.
No Apprehension Whatever Is Felt
in Washington.

Washington, Nov. 20.--Treasury Of
fieials feel no apprehension whatever
on account of the expectations Of gold,
Secretary Gage said that he would not
make at this time any statement in
regard TO the matter, but it is known
that he regards the shipments as a
very natural movement in view of the
quite general demand for money in
Europe, and that he believes there is
nothing in the situation to cause the
least uneasiness. On the contrary,
treasury officials say that the business
affairs of Europe within the last few
years have become so intimately con-
nected with our own that a monetary
stringency or disturbance of any char
acter there should be deplOred and if
possible relieved for the common good.
At this time there is an unusual de-
mand for money in several European
financial centers, and it is expected, it
is said. that United States investors
would take advantage of the increased
interest rates and ship their funds to
the best market. The officials do not
believe, however, that the shipments
will assume very large proportions,
especially as any considerable with
drawals would so increase rates at
home as to make foreign shipments IN
profitable.

New York, Nov. 2O.---The big North

Tuesday, carried in her treasure
room coin and bar gold valued at

fully slowed away in oak casks and
iron-bOund boxes and was under seal

gest sum ever sent across the Allan

scented the engagements made by the
larger financial houses Of New York
since the final shipment Of last week.
Most Of the gold goes to meet for

TWO DOLLARS FOR (|Nt
STOCK is TO BE ALB
SORBED
EIGHT PER CENT GUARANTEED
Two Hundred and Twenty Million
Dollars in Bonds to BE Issued
and UnderWTitten mt
Par.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-It was officially
stated in Wall street today after the
close of business that the proposed con-
troll OF the Burlington by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific interests
will be effected by an issue of $ZO0,OOOOOO
in bonds on the basis of 81 in bonds Tor
each dollar outstanding Of Burlington
stock. The issue will be underWritten by
a syndicate at par with commissions off.
The terms will undoubtedly be $1,000 in
new per cent bonds for each $1,000 or
Burlington shares-so that the guarantee
represents S per cent on Burlington
shares. This dividend was paid by Bur
lington regularly between 1881 and 1883,
inclusive, when the locomotive engineers
strike forced q reduction in the rate to
per cent and later to per cent. the
present per cent rate is the highest
that has since been paid In 1890, in fact,
the company for the first time obtained
per cent on the shares. Since then the
stock has been increased by 10 per cent,
so that on the face of its returns Bur
lington is now quite earning the guaran-
tee assumed by the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern.
Some interest was aroused today in
banking circles by the final decision to
issue a 1 per cent bond to take up Bur
1ington stock instead of the orig nal
idea of putting out 312 per cent bonds.
Many bankers today said they thought
this change materially simplified placing
the bonds among investors. The absorp-
tion of S200, ,0OO, 900 new railway capital by
the bond market viii be an interesting
question at the present time in any case,
but it was stated the public would look
with more favor upon per cent Sc
curity than one bearing 313 per cent in
terest Under the plan to exchange Bur-
lington stock for $500 of the 4 per cent
bond, the payment guaranteed Burling-
ton shareholders is SS,72OOOG, against S.
10000 if 31a per cent bonds were issued
at $235.
1t was stated this morning that un
derw-iting subscriptions have been in
vited to the $780, 900 new bonds to be
issued for Burlington, and that the un-
derwriting price is par, less the usual
bankers subscription.

DISCUSSED THE NEGRO.
Diverse Opinions Expressed a
Social Science Convention.

SOCIah science COHyPntinn.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The negro
problem was discussed at today's ses-
sion of the American Social Science as
socIation. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard
university, this city, pleaded for the
hlgher education Of the negro. He de-
MED that viciousness increases with edu-
cation, and said that the negro graduates
OF schools are law abiding and exercise
a wholesome influence on the masses.
The only way to make them better citi-
zens, he said, is to equip them with bet
ter ideas through education The "Jino
crow car" and Acknowledgement meas
ures IN the South, he argued. Simply de-
Ter solution of the negro problem. in
stead OF unweaving the tangle George
X Stetson, Of this city, pointed out that
raclal antagonism is natural instinct
anG universal law.
The antagonism between the nulatto
and the negro, he contended. was much
greater than that between the White ana
the negro. The negro, he thought, should
oe the means of elevatfng the race. He
favored more closely confined attention
tc industrial education. A negro citizen
he SAID, is as yet merely a theory and
equal citizenship comes only through
equal education

TURED INTERVIEWS

His Reference Is Evidently to High
ly CoIored "InteFVieSv" Sent
From Local Newspaper
Office This Week.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 1S.-President
j. ]. Hill, of the Great Northern rail-
road, was in this city today on a pleas
ure tour with a party of friends. Asked
if he had anything to say touching the
reported merging of various railway cor
porations in which he is interested into
great Syndicates, President Hill said:
Il have read the various statements
published and where there is one clear
cut statement of facts there are about
a dozen statements of erroneous char
acter
1T is true that several railway corr
poratiOnS are endeavoring to make closer
traffic arrangements and that such ar
rangements involve the Burlington but
up to the present time there has been
nothing consummated upon which to
base correct statements
1t was apparent that President Hill
was greatly annoyed by the coupling Of
many railroads other than those with
which he has been dealing and he did
not hesitate to say that interviews pur-
porting to have been given out by the
heads of such railroads were merely
"guess-work' and contained little truth.

TERMS FOR PRIVATE CARS.
Interstate Commerce Commissions
Ruling on an n. p. Case.

WASHINGTON, April 18-The inter
state commerce commission today an
nounced a decision in which it holds that
the Northern Pacific Railroad company,
if 1t transports private cars of any class,
must transport all private cars occupied
for the same or similar purposes in like
manner upon like terms. 1t says that the
defendant, however, lawfully m ay decline
to haul private cars at all or it may haul
private cars of one class and refuse to
haul others of a wholly different class.
The case decided is that of Spencer =.
Carr against the NoEtern Pacific. The
complainant is a commercial salesman,
who uses a private car On his trips, and
on a first trip between St. Paul, MINI,
and Portland, Or, was charged fifteen
round trip fares, but on subsequent trips
was charged fifteen local fares from point
10 point where he stopped along the line
He claimed that this was a disc: imina-
tion as compared with the rates granted
theatrical, pleasure and other parties in
private cars. The commission holds that
the services mentioned are not similar,
and that the rates charged, while not
held to pe reasonable, are not shown to
be unreasonable.

sTRENGTHENING DRAW BRIDGE.

Great Westerns New Engines Are
Too Heavy for PreVent Structure.
In view of its constantly increasing
business the Chicago Great Western has
ordered a number of exceptionally heavy
passenger and freight engines. The pom
derous machines are considerably too
weighty for the capacity of the draw
bridge under the Robert street bridge,
and contract has accordingly been let
for the strengthening of the flooring and
the installing of stronger cross-beams
In order to do this some heavy steam
rivetting machinery has been brought
into requisition, and the work will com
mence Immediately. In the office of the
chief engineer yesterday it was said
that the bridge would be ready for the
heaviest kind of engines by the first week

Winnipeg Official Says His Road Is
Not ''KnOcking''

Charles E. Mcpherson, general passen-

Winnipeg, was in the city yesterday On
his way home from meeting at Chicago,
and in the course of a conversation on
the Roblin-Melle deal, he said that as
iar as he knew, his road was not oppos-
ing the consummation OF the lease. He
also thought it extremely unlikely that
the dominion parliament would interfere
by failing TO pass the legislation neces-
sary to make the provincial measure
valid.
AS he viewed it, the delay was due
simply to legal complications, and he
saw no reason why the deal should not
se put through in a very short time.
