CINCINNATI, HAMILTON & DAK- TON AND PERE MARQUETTE
 SITUATION.

Desire to Avoid Possible Foreclosure
 Indicated by Statement of Receiver
 HarmOn-C. H. D. to Pay Promptly
 All Just Claims Whether Bonds or
 Interest or Other Form of Indebted
 ness, Default of Which Might Lead
 to Foreclosure.
 Cincinnati, O., Dec. 22.-A desire to avoid possible foreclosure was indicat- ed in a statement by Judson Harmon, receiver of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, which he made upon his return from New York to-day. He said:
 Stated briefly, this is the situation up to this time of the great central railroads affairs. The merger of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Pere Marquette is attacked on the ground that under the laws of Ohio a railroad company has no authority to lease any except a connecting line. The interests which intended to abrogate the Pere Marquette lease, assert there was no connection between the two railroads, but one was assumed for the purpose of completing an alleged merg- CT. The C., H. & D. will pay prompt ly all just claims, whether bonds or interest, or other form of indebtedness, default of which might lead to fore closure"
 This policy is agreed upon as a means of preserving the property intact, and s, ,fA A. ahA hSt TonafNy- CT Judson Harmon during his visit to New York city. It will include interest on the bonds, upon which action was brought in the superior court of Gin clnnati recently, asking an assessment of stockholders.
 There is a possibility that the hold CTS of the Toledo railway and terminal bonds may be paid interest thereon when due, although that form of secur- ity does not appear in the official state nent just issued by Receiver Harmon. This probability is based on the fact that the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day ton railroad has guaranteed that issue of securities and a desire to keep the property free from court entangle- ments may lead to an assumption of that debt by the Morgan Interests. All other forms of securities not included in the list made public by Receiver Harmon, and many of which are under the care of protective committees. will be the subject for future consideration.
 The reports made by the C., H, and D. and the Pere Marquette operating off, cers are of such favorable character tlhet Mir, Harmon announced that the personnel of the operating force, includ- ing heads of departments of both roads will not be disturbed.

STIR ON 4. FERRYBOAT.
Small Fire Almost Causes Panic--FulI
 Speed for Dock

speed 1OT LOCK
 New York, Dec. 22.r-While the Del aware, Lackawanna and Western rail- road ferryboat Montclair, with 1000 passengers in board, was on her way from Christopher street to Hoboken to- night fire burst from beneath a row of seats in the mems cabin so suddenly that those on the seats were almost burned. Shouts of fire rang through the crowded cabin and everybody rush. ed for the open ends of the boat, almost pushing one another into the water, the panic spreading to the women's cabin, which was also crowded. The deck hands succeeded in stif1ing the blaze with fire extinguishers and the boat was driven at full speed, with whistle lshrieking to the Hobohen slip. The passengers rushed ashore and the fire department at the ferry house came aboard with their apparatus and fln- ished effectively the work begun by the deck hands. It is supposed that a smoldering cigar stub communicating fire to the rubbish started the blaze.

All the re- publican members had been invited to the first meeting, which was held in the Hotel Cadillac Only the New, York delegation in the assembly attended the second meeting, which was held very late tonight.
 The first meeting was called by men who J. w. Wadsworth, jr, said were opposed to him, though he and every other republican assemblyTnan was in- vited. MT. Wadsworth sent out many messages to assemblynnen who were supporting him, advising them that no good purpose would be served by their attending the meeting. Although James T. Rogers, majority leader in the assembly asked hi into be present at the meeting, he declined to do so.

HOME RULE OVERSHADOWED
ADROIT MOVE OF THE NEW
 BRITISH PREMIER,
That He WilR Stop Im- portation of Chinese Coolies to the Transvaal Causes Storm Among Com servatives-Serious Situation May be Caused if Contracts Are Revoked.

London, Dec. 22.-The announcement made by the premier Sir Henry Camp bell Zimmerman, in his speech at Albert hall Thursday night, that he will stop coolie labor being imported into South Africa, has aroused a storm of indig- nation among the conservatives as the result of which the question of home we'll nigh forgotten. Whatever may have been the intention of the premier his action Is looked upon in some quar- ters as an adroit counter move to Mir. Balfour's plan of forcing discussion of home rule to the front in the fortheom- ing campaign. In any case it projects a new and totally unexpected theme of contention into the forefront. It had been supposed that the new govern nlent would do nothing of the kind without first appointing 8 commission to consider the question. =
 The leading journals of the Rand, as a general rule, reserve their opinions on the matter of coolie labor but they ada init that the action of the government can have little effect for st least year as 4S,000 Chinese coolies are already there, while the original idea was to experiment. with 50000 The elections for the new government of the Trans vaal will take place In February.
 The Daily Telegraph, an organ of the late Balfour ministry, in an editorial in this mornings issue, contends that there Is absolutely no legal means at foa Ae Fya no man government by which 1t can stop the exportatfon of 2oolies from China or their admission to South Africa with out exposing that country to actions for damages, which 1t says may easily run into the millions. It advises the mine owners of the Rand to continue the importation of cooltas and to leave the colonial office to do it's worst"
 The Johannesburg correspondent of the Times says that the general atti- tude in the region affected is calmly expectant one. He adds that contracts have already been signed and sanction ed by the Transvaal government for 11,000 more coolies, which number will enable the mines to carry on their op- erations comfortably pending the form al decision of the inhabitants of the col ony which will be the same whether under a representative or any other form of government"
 If the government" says the cor- respondent, "compels the repudiation of these contracts 1t will not only be mulcted in compensation to the extent of at least a half million, but it will create a genuinely serious situation. On the other hand if the contracts should be carried out no harm will be done"
