- Causes Spread tS.

Several prosecutions will soon be be-
gun by the state board of health against
persons in Otter Tail and Douglas coun-
ties who failed to give the required no.
t1ce OF smallpox cases. Ninety unreported
cases were found in Millerville recently
by Harry c. Sinks, inspector for the
board. Forty cases in Dresser were not
reported. An important reason for the
spread of the disease, says Mr.. Sinks, is
the ignorance of the people in some of

smallpox now exists along the southern
tier of townships in Otter Tail county
and among the northern townships in

WILL RECEIVE BIDS

Tho Secretary Hitchcock Probably
Won't Sell Timber Until Later.
From the Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Dec. a. Secretary
Hitchcock has been advised by legal
officers of the department of the in
terror that the order issued by the
court last week in the Chippewa In
dian suit does not apply to the timber
sale set for next Saturday.
In consultation held last night 1t
was pointed out that the disposal of
timber was entirely in the secretary's
hands and that the mere opening OF
proposals does not obligate the gov
ernment to sell, but is merely a pre-
liminary to a sale. The secretary can.
and probably will, withhold action on
the bids opened at Cass Lake on
Saturday until after Shearing on
the petition for an injunction set for
Dec. IS.
Should the court refuse to issue an
injunction he will Immediately award
the timber contracts. Should the in
junction be issued, further operations
under the Morris law will be post
poned indefinitely.

WON'T CONFIRM 1T
Russian Foreign Office Declines to
Give Out Amy Information,

st. Petersburg, Dec. 2.-The for
eign office declines to confirm the an
nouncement from Paris that a. basis
for an agreement between Russia and
Japan had been reached. With this
end In view, however, both govern
ments have decided temporarily to
put aside questions whose decision on
account of the position Of each. is
found to be ifnpracticable.
The negotiations, SO far as Russia
is concerned, are confined to delinit-
ing the rights of the, railroads and
stelegraphs of each in Korea. Japan
holds in allegiance the Manchurian
questions, concerning which Russia
declines to treat, on the ground that
they are matters between her and
China, until she ascertains whether a
satisfactory arrangement is reachable
| regarding Korea.
Regarding the suggestion that the
United States may ask Russia to sub
nit the question of the evacuation OF
! Manchuria to The Hague tribunal, it
| is pointed out it Is inpracticable and
would be unprecedented to leave po-
littcal issues to the decision Of q
| judicial tribunal.

Rio Grande Western, international &
Great Northern, Texas Pacific and
one-half Of the Galveston, Houston s.

Michigan Central, Nickel Plate, Big
Four, Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley &
Pittsburg, Lake Erie & Western, Gin.

In controlling the Lake Shore they
talso control a one-half interest in the
Philadelphia & Reading, the Central
railroad of New Jersey and the Hook

lsecured by gaining control of the
Pennsylvania.
Furthermore, they have secured a
half interest in the Chesapeake &

An agreement has been reached and
will shortly be signed unless some un-

Russia will accept the two agreements
entered into by Japan and Korea,
dated 1896 and 1898, respectively,
under which Japan secured various

BAD COLLISION

Chicago, Dec. 2.-In a collision be-

South Side elevated to-day, Harry
Cottrell, a German, was fatally hurt

While the guards on the elevated
train were holding the gates shut to
prevent the passengers from jumping
to the tracks and possibly being cleo
trocuted, the wires in one of the
coaches became crossed, starting a. fire
in the crowded car. The cry Of fire"
caused a panic. Windows were

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Dec. 2.-The war which
has ragged between the Rockefeller
Gould Interests and the Pennsylvania
for more than two years, and which
resulted in one of the most sensa-
tional stock raids In history, has
ended. Announcement of a semi-offi-
cial character is that the Rockefellers
have Won the victory, and will be
found to be in full control of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The retirement
of President Cassatt of that company
is freely predicted, as is the speedy
entry of the Wabash into Philadelphia
and New York.
The Rockefellers within a brief
period have become the greatest rail-
road owners in the world and now are
| practically in a position to dominate
the railroad policy Of the country. It
| is now known that the Rockefellers
| brought the Gou1ds into their alliance
/ in 1891, and for years have worked
with them. The Pennsylvania inter-
| ests undoubtedly were unaware of
| this alliance when President Cassatt
! ordered his men to cut down more
than $1,O00.O00 worth Of Western
| Union telegraph poles and wires in a
single night.
! How 1t Was Done.
1 The recent great slump in Pennsyl-
vania stock was brought about by a
Rockefeller attack, which was so clev-
erly engineered that when the market
was right the Rockefellers gained con-
1 troll of the property. The New York
Central was first acquired with a view
of using it as a club over the Penn
sylvania should the attempt to get the
latter property prove failure. It is
estimated that the Rockefeller Goul6
combination now owns or controls
nearly $4,000 miles of road out of E
ntoI Of ir3 ha foS
States, and the ownership is so dis
tributed territorially that the combin
alton is in a position to dominate rail
road affairs.
