minute recess had been taken! He then
gave a five minute talk that was the es-
sence of Jacobson. He said, in substance:
'I am glad to meet with yop, and thank
You for your kind welcome. 1 am glad to
see that you are doing better than you
started out to do. 1 have been sorry sew

THE PACIFIC
RAILROAD WAR
Fight in Progress Between Opposing
Stockholders Now Gets Into
the Courts.
The Keene Faction Wants a Divi.
dend Paid-The Other Party :.
Proposes Improvements. 9,

Cincinnati, Ohio. March 13.-The fight
now in progress between oposing% stock
holders in the Southern Pacific railroad
company has been temporarily transferred
to courts in this city.
In the United States court at Louisville
yesterday, Talbot J. Taylor and James B.
Taylor of New York, representing minority
stockholders made application for an in
junction against the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific to prevent the Union
Pacific from voting the stock it holds in
the coming annual election Of directors OF
the Southern Pacific railroad company.
The application alleges that the Union
Pacific, having secured control Of the ma
jority of the stock of the Southern
Pacific, the two roads have been
practically under one management to the
damage Of the interests Of the stockhold-
ers of the Southern Pacific.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs then came
to Cincinnati, to lay before Judge Lurton
Of the Kentucky circuit court a motion for
a restraining order to be issued until the
application for an injunction can be heard.
This motion will be decided soon.
Causes Of the War.
The plaintiffs represent the KeeneTay
lor element in the Southern Pacific. The
Keene faction is said to hold about $780,
100000 worth of Southern Pacific stock,
having bought this amount through a pool
some time ago in the hope of an early divi-
dend. The Union Pacific people who are
in the Southern Pacific board of directors
it is said. oppose dividend at this time
| figuring that the money would be more
| wisely expended in the shape of improve
ments and betterments.
| The Keene following has resorted to the
courts in All effort to prevent the Unior
Pacific from voting the $50, 100000 worth
| Of stock which it holds in the Southern
Pacific against a dividend for the latter
! company. The Keene people figure t11a
| they will be able to create such change:
in the directory of the road at the annua
| meeting as will be favora BILE to the declar
alton Of dividend, instead. as they al
lege, of having the earnings Of the South
ern Pacific diverted to beterments on tn
! Central and Union Pacific railways in tn
| interest of other Hartman holdings.
Restraining Order Issued.
Judge Horace f. Lurton Of the United
States circuit court this afternoon ISSUED
a, restraining order. He said:
Il express no opinion upon the merits
Of the prinla facie case further than tt
say that the complainants are entitled tt

"It is therefore ordered that the defend

In the meantime the order demands tha
the status quo be preserved.

Half Justified.

Special to The Journal szsssT'.
New York, March 13.-The journal Of
Comm cree says: The statement of Wiz
liam D.. Washburn, Jr.,t regarding cloudy
prospects for this country had rather an
unnecessary tinge of gloom. but 1t con-
tanned some wholesome truths neverthe-
less. The financial situa ton is due large
ly to the excessive speculative use Of cap
ital and the failure Of congress to 10
anything to correct the faults Of the cur
rency system and the effect upon it Of
treasury operations is far from reassuring.
There is no doubt that the expansion Of
Industrial capitalization and the. high
prices by which it is thus far sustained
are full of peril, and have been accom-
plished under the shelter of a tariff that
excludes the salutary restra ining influ-
ence Of foreign competition. Mr.. Wash
burn is right about the elements of dan
ger that have accumulated as result of
unwise public policy and the corporate
abuses to which it has given rise, though
he takes a rather dark view Of the i'm
pending consequences The country has
such a capacity for production and for
standing the strain of waste and loss that
it's prosperity. may hold out for some
time in spite s5ef the obstacles and perils
with which it is beset. But it is we'll to
have a voice of warning raised, and il the
west is really determined to have the tar
if modified and the trusts curbed, some
thing may be done to avert the serious
calamity which can otherwise only be
postponed.

1t Is Being Rapidly Constructed Behind
the Old One.
New Orleans, March 13-The absence
of news up to this time indicates, that
the Arlington levee has not yet given
way, President Leake Of the Ponchar-
train levee board, said to-day that 10000
sacks of material and a number of men
have been hurried to the scene. Arlington
is an old levee and acknowledged to be
unsafe. Contracts were let some months
ago for new levee behind it, but owing
to the rong season of rainy weather the
second levee has not been completed. The
new work is being pushed with great
vigor, and in the meantime Governor
Heard, the levee board and planters are
doing all in their power~to maintain the
old embankment.
A break at Arlington would flood valua
BILE sugar lands and interfere with traffic
over the railroads.
Although the rive is now seven
tenths of foot below the record Of 1897
the seriousness Of the situation Is in
creased by the continuance of rainy
weather. which is softening the levees
along the Louisiana line.
Large forces of men are engaged ir
strengthening the levee at the city from
and the engineers are still hopeful tha
the entertainments will stand the strain.

CLOUDBURSI HITS CITY.
Great Storm Of Last Night
Does Much Damage

: The worst storm that Little Falls has
experienced in smany years struck the
city about $50 o'clock last evening. It
was veritable, cloudburst, and the
water came down in torrents for nearly
half an hour. An immense amount of
damage was done. The streets in many
places show the full effect OF the terrible
storm. =
There is very bad washout in front
OF the old court house building on First
avenue south. A large section OF the
retaining wall has fallen, and the side
walk is down. The front foundation of
the building seems somewhat affected,
but not enough to be dangerous The
building is considered safe.
There is a very bad washout on lower
First street, near the Dow house, the
roadway being reduced to a dozen feet.
There are many other washouts, none
very serious, in other parts OF the city.
The damage to private property is
great.
F. E. Swain is probably the worst SUI
ferer. Over two feet of water covered
the cement floor of his basement in the
Viktor block. .-~ A lot of the furniture
stored there was badly damaged.
The Herald's press room and work
shop, in the basement of the Herald
building. was flooded about thirteen
inches in depth. Not much damage was
done, however, beyond the trouble and
inconvenience, most of the machinery
fortunately being high enough to escape.
A bailing pump was procured from the
Water company and three hours work
cleared the floor.
Schrieber's sample room on the West
side got a badly flooded basement. The
stock was damaged considerably.
The Minnesota Mill Co.'s basement
got some Of the flood, but little damage
was done.
j. N. True's office in the basement of
the First National bank block, was
somewhat damaged.
Many residences have flooded cellars,
and few parts Of the city escaped.
The total damage, when all reports
are in, it is thought will be very large.
