The theory is that the Union Pacific will
control the Northern Pacific on the disso-
luton of the Northern Securities company
and the return of the merged stocks. To
effect this, street gossip has it, the Hill
interests have bought heavily of Union and
Southern Pacific.
Still another story is that the Union
Pacific is, by a harmonious agreement. to
be made the dominating interest in North
ern Pacific and Great Northern. Other
stories have it that the Union Pacific is
to be made a member of the family of
Pacific roads.

Charles J. Denny, former member of

court Monday, the defendant entered
plea of guilty. Denny is the third OF
the 10 accused men to plead guilty.

presiding judge what the penalty would
be in the event his client pleaded
guilty, Hannigan's attorney decided to
let the case go to trial as he could
not secure an assurance from Circuit
Judge Taylor that would assess the
minimum punishment for the crime
with which Hannigan was charged.
While the jurors were being selected,
however, Hannigan announced that he
had changed his mind and asked the
courts permission to go home and con-
suit with his wife regarding his enter
ing plea of guilty to the lighting deal
bribery charge. Hannigan returned to
the court room after an absence OF
nearly three hours and formally plead
ed guilty. His sentence will probably
be pronounced at the same time as

its temporary chairman, appointed the
committees necessary to perfect per-
manent organization and adjourned.
In a session lasting hours and 50 min
utes one striking incident over
shadowed all other proceedings. That
was the enthusiastic and prolonged
cheering which greeted the name of
Grover Cleveland. While the outburst
which greeted the name of the former
democratic president before its last
syllable had fallen from the lips OF
the temporary chairman was note
worthy in itself, 1t was magnified by
contrast with the greeting accorded
the actual persons of men who stood
for all that has been opposed to Mr..
Cleveland and within the party during
the last eight years.
James X. Jones, of Arkansas, chair
onto the platform and took his seat
unnoticed. Practically no greeting
was given him when he faced the con-
vention with gavel in hand. There
were other stalwart lieutenants Of the

national campaigns was greeted with
silence. Eight minutes after the gavel
fell the twice-named candidate of his
party passed in at the main entrance
and sought his seat unheralded and un.

and pushed his way to seat nearer the
aisle, where standing moment tc

caught sight of and applauded. But
the measure Of applause was but rip
pie when compared to the storm called
forth by Clevelard's name.
Listening attentively to the demo-
cratic doctrine laid down by Mr. Will
liams the conservatives found occasion
for the first demonstration when refer
ence was made to the record Of former
President Cleveland. All the shackled
party interest which had laid dormant
through two national campaigns was
