CLAIM RECEIVERS
 ARE TOO HOSTILE
OFFICERS OF M. J. AND K. c. RAIL ROAD WILL ASK THAT THEIR BOND BE NOT LESS THAN A MILLION.

Mobile, December SO.-A petition is in circulation here to Chancellor Smith Of the chancery court who appointed the re- ceivers for the Mobile Jackson and Kan sas City railroad. protesting against the appointment of the receivers, and asking that the bonds of the receivers be made not less than one million dollars. This petition to date contains signatures repre- senting three million and fifty thousand dollars worth of bonds of the railroad.
 In their petition the petitioners set out that Ambrose Mcneil, Thomas Morri- son and John Mcleod, who allege they own only thirteen shares of stock, one bond, and alleged undlsputed claim for supplies amounting to $2SOS, are not stock holders of record, and allege that the thirteen shares of stock, if owned by them, have been recently purchased.
 They state that no owner of any securl- ty of the Gulf and Chicago Railroad eom- pany has any right to complain because the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Railroad company is carrying out the terms of It's lease in good falth and paying it's rental as agreed upon.
 The petitioners show that F. E. Dewey, one of the receivers, and the one now actively in control of the property, is hostile to the former management, and to the controlling owners, stockholders and bondholders of said company, and is not a disinterested and unpreiudiced per son; and his affidavit was the main af- fldavit upon which the receivers were ap- pointed.
 The petitioners further show that not only has the company promptly paid all maturing interest upon it's securities, but they are advised that 1t had arranged for the payment of the interest coming due January 1, 1907. The petitioners further show that the value of the property con- mitted to the control of the receivers is between eight and nine million dollars. consisting of four hundred miles of rail- road in three states, the earnings of which had been steadily increasing un- der the management removed, and more over there are no suits pending against said company on account of any indebted ness.
 It is probable the petition will be pre- sented tomorrow.

May Change Railroad Route.

An engineering force of twelve men left this city yesterday morning in a northerly direction, locating. finally, 1t is said, the route of the New Orleans and Great Northern railroad from Jackson to Yazoo City the idea being to acquire property of the Southern in the delta country to carry the road into Memphis The route into the city is said to have been decided on, and grading is now in progress to the south of town ten or twelve miles. This route does not in- clude the Enochs factory and Commerce street in the southern part of town, but turns west at the corporation line and comes up Gallatin or Roach street.
 In the event that route has been se- lected finally, 1t means that there Is to be no railroad up the valley of the Pearl for the present. unless it Is constructed bv other parties. The Herricks, owners of vast quantities of valuable timber lands north of Jackson. are understood to be able to build the line from here to Carthage, or to any other point, for that matter, but whether or not they con template doing so Is a mooted question here

FORECAST OF THE NEWS
 FOR THE COMING WEEK

Congress will reconvene after the Christ has recess at 12 o'clock next Thursday, but it is not expected that much business will be transacted in either house until the week following. No programme so far has been arranged for either body, and the general expectation is that nothing will be done in that direction until the houses are called together. There has sell dom been such an exodus of public men for a brief respite from work as there was when the recess began, and as the members are returning very slowly there Is not a sufficient number of either sena- tors or representatives in the city even lc outline a plan of action.
 The purpose is, in a general way to proceed with the appropriation bills as rapidly as possible, but as neither house has one of these measures before it, both will be forced to take up other matters of legislation or adjourn from day to day until the committees can bring in some of the supply measures. It may, there fore, happen that one or both of the houses may adjourn from Thursday or Friday until the following Monday. This will depend upon the wishes of members who have pet measures that they desire to press.
