great benefit to the new read as the

terests being mutual. The only rea-
sons that could be conceived why the
road should be run along the Chali-
ton bottoms, four miles from this
place would be the slight advantage
in distance and the prospect of reach
ing undeveloped coal lands The
Charlton river being very crooked
stream has many bluffs and if its
course was followed many bridges
would be necessary. The grading
would probably be very expensive.
IF there has been any survey made
along the Charlton bottoms north of
Sedan it is surely for some short ex-
tension to reach some coal lands and
rot part of the main line. 1t might
be possible that some other road, say
the Northwestern, was surveying from
the north. 1t is said a party of sur
veyors arrived several days ago at

TONERS that they We're going to make
a survey for a new railroad. 1t is not

New York, March 26-J. Pierpont
Morgan was witness today before
Special Examiner Maybey in the suit
of Peter Power against the Northern
Pacific Railroad Co., to test the legal
ity of turning over the control of that
company to the Northern Securities
Co. Morgan said it was the business
of the firm of j. P. Morban & Co. to
take UP anything in financial line
that was creditable and which might
suggest itself as profitable. The firm
had much to do with the reorganiza-
ton of the Northern Pacific. The
amount involved in that reorganization
was something like $7S,OOO,O0O.
Asked regarding the transaction in
which $26,000000 par value of North
ern Pacific stock, purchased for ]. j..
Hill and associates in 1896, Mr.. Nor
gan said he conducted the negotiations
for that amount. He did not know
whether all the purchasers of that
stock (Northern Pacific stock were
Great Northern people. He did not re-
member all the details of the transac-
tons but the amount of cash involved
was not more than about $3,000000.
He said his firm loaned the Northern
Pacific money, but refused to say on
whose account these loans were made.

Calderwood brought in amendments
yesterday which provide that such in

congress of the United States in behalf
of the state of Iowa, for the calling of
a convention for proposing amend

said constitution. This has for it's pur-

ators by direct vote of the people. Mr..
Hughes supported his resolution with
a strong speech, in which was pointed
out the evils attendant upon the pres
ent system Of selecting senators, and
declared that the time was now ripe
for change. This movement has al
ready spread to number of the states
