c WILL GOP SEPT. 15 MR. NEWMAN WILL THEN TAKE THE PLACE W. W. FINLEY LEAVES. THE LATTER'S RETURN SOUTH TAKES HIM TO THE SCENE OF HIS MOST SUCCESSFUL RAILWAY CAREER. JpRETTY STORY OF HIS HEROISM. Superior Inspection Case May Be Carried Into the Courts—Engin eers Call on Mr. Hill. The appointment of Second Vice President Newman, of the Northwest- j em. to the position of second vice pres- j Ident of the Great Northern, to sue- j ceed W. W. Finley, resigned, was de- ' finitely corroborated yesterday after noon by a high official of the road. It is known that Mr. Newman will as sume his new duties Sept. 15. His sal- | ary can only be guessed at, but it is very evident it will be a big one, as he was the recipient of a $20,000 salary [ with the Northwestern, and it is not at all likely he would change unless there was a material advance. Yet Mr. New man ls not at all dependent upon his salary for his existence. He is a ' wealthy man. and it is said his income j from Southern investments is some- j thing like $100,000 per year. Mr. New- j man is not only a very capable operat- j ing and traffic manager, but is al*o possessed of a strong independence. Mr. Finley in his new capacity will be in a position of wide responsibility, i Virtually, he will V>e the directing head of the entire Southern railroad system, j which has its Northern terminus in Washington, and its Southern termini in nearly all of the larger cities of the South. The system is one of the largest in the country, and its traffic is enormous. Samuel Spencer is first vice president, but his duties entail the \ financial management of the road's : affairs, so that Mr. Finley's will be the J real hand at the throttle, so far as the \ management of the actual business is i concerned. A Southern atmosphere is highly congenial to Mr. Finley. He i was raised in it. and is accustomed to j it. His friends are almost exclusively j in the South, and it is with the keenest | pleasure that lie returns to his old love, j His name Is very familiar in Southern railway circles. He carries a magnt fleet-, gold watch, which, by the way, I is one of the most precious articles in his possession. Its story is really one of personal heroism and devotion, but i Mr. Finley never tells it himself. Several years ago, when Mr. Finley | was located in New Orleans, a devas tating epidemic of yellow fever broke i out, taking off hundreds of the citl- ; zer.s, and causing an exodus from the city. There was the utmost consterna- j tion, and in the panic hundreds of the railroad men refused to return to the j city. One day Mr. Finley announced ; to his family that they must leave the I city, if they desired to live. The mem- j bers of the household bravely refused to ; go, but Mr. Finley's word was law in ' a case of that kind, and his private car was soon whirling out of the city i heaving his loved one. He knew his j wife's devotion would prompt her to return to his side, and to guard against J BG<h a risk, Mr. Finley posted notices j threatening immediate discharge to j . any train crew which should bring his j family or his wife back to the hot bed ' of pestilence. Finally he too, was i stricken with the fever, but his iron i will served him well. He warded off delirium, and on his sick bed directed j the work of relief. In memory of his ! bravery, his friends placed boxes about j the city asking subscriptions of a pen- I ny or two cents each, in order that all j might have an opportunity to share the ! pleasure of assistin-^n the object. Mr. I Finley was preser. <__. with a magnifi cent watch, in the interior of which I was recited in touching language, the gratitude of the people of New Orleans, and the thousands of railroad men. It Is not strange that Mr. Finley looks with pleasure upon a return to such a circle of friends as this, or that they are prepared to welcome him. _t i<- understood that Mr. Finley sug gested his successor in office, which is a further proof that the relations be tween himself and Mr. Hill were ami cable. GRAIN INSPECTION TROUBLE. The Co-urts May Be Invoked to Settle It. The elevator men of the Twin Cities have not accepted the ultimatum of the Superior Board of Trade by any means, and it is very likely legal steps will be taken to force the Superior Board of Trade to come down off their perch. Th<? meeting of the elevator men in this city Monday, may bear fruit of a very unlocked for character. It is hinted that the grain men of Min nerse.ta may unite and bring an injunct ion against the Superior Board of Trade, restraining them from interfer ing with the Minnesota inspectors upon the grounds that they, the Superior people, are obstructing inter-state com merce. If the Minnesota elevator men should win such a suit, they would be allowed in all probability to re-estab lish the Minnesota inspection system in Superior. The system in vogue in Superior at the present time is an odd one. It is net under the jurisdiction of the state, and the inspectors are responsible to no one except the Superior board of trade. In fact the whole system at the head cf the lakes is unsatisfactory, and by those interested declared to be unfair. The Superior Board of Trade ls a power unto itself and has the au thority to make as many discriminating regulations as it sees fit. But if rumor Is true, the Minnesota people will de fend their positions under the claim that the intent of the Inter-state com merce laws are being defied. DELEGATION OF ENGINEERS. Call on Officials of the Great North ern. There -was some speculation around the Great Northern headquarters yes terday over the presence in the presi dent's private office of a delegation of eigineers from Western divisions. A conference between the president and the delegation was held, but its import was not learned, although it was hint ed the topic of conversation was regard ing salaries. This, however, was de nied by the officials of the company Who affirm the talk had no significance. POOR'S MANUAL. Figures From the Advance Sheets For This Year's Number. CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Sept. B.— The lines of the Western Freight association met to day to coiie-edder the question of the demoralization in rates that exists ln their territory. The meeting first took up the routine work on the docket and it was found that there was so much of this that it will take at least two days to get it out of the way. There will not, in all probability, be anything of Interest in the proceedings of the meeting until Thursday of this week when the question of the reductions on the rates between Chicago and St. Paul will be taken tip. Representatives of the Lake Michigan & Lake Superior Transportation company and of the Lake Michigan Car Ferry Co., are ex pected to be with the meeting on Thurs day and the matter will be taken up very exhaustively. It is not expected that much of anything can be done to remedy the situation this year, but an effort will be made to provide measures which will render the recurrence of the summer's troubtes an impossibility in the future. The roads of the Western Passenger association met today to see what could be done to stop the trouble In rates at Kansas City and other Western Mis souri river gateways. Considerable routine business was also upon the docket. SEABOARD CUT MET. Extension of the Rate War ln the Sonth. WASHINGTON, Sept B.— There was a significant extension of the railroad rate war in the South when two more roads made schedules of new freight tariff rates to conform to those of the Seaboard Air Line. The Atlantic Coast Line and the Norfolk & West ern filed formal notices with the Inter state Commerce commission. The Coast Line's new tariff is from Rich mond and Petersburg, and the Norfolk & Western from Roanoke, both apply ing to the competing points on the Sea board Air Line. The rates in both in stances correspond to those of the Sea board from Norfolk and Portsmouth and involve competing points in Vir ginia, the two Carolinas and Georgia. Baldwin Elected. NEW YORK. Sept. B.— William H. Bald win was today elected president of the Long Island Railroad company in place of the late Austin Corbin. Mr. Baldwin was re cently second vice president of the Southern. RAILWAY NOTES. Miss Augusta Wicklund, of the Omaha general freight department, accompanied by her mother, leaves this week for an extended trip to the coast, returning via Salt Lake City and Denver. General Passenger Agent E. L. Lomax and .Chief Clerk W. H. Murray, of the same department of the Union Pacific, were in the city yesterday consulting with locai passenger officers relative to western pas senger rates. General Manager Burt, of the Omaha, has returned from a tour of inspection. Fred Rogers has been chosen chief clerk to General Freight Agent Eden, of the East ern Minnesota. Mr. Rogers has been acting chief clerk in the same department for some time, and filled the post so capably that he has been formally appointed. A special train of Yellowstone tourists will arrive in the city early this morning over the Northern Pacific, and go East via the Mil waukee. The train is a solid Pennsylvania Central special. In addition to its own large equipment, the Omaha was compelled to use nearly 100 pas- Betmrei* coaches from other lines lust week. The ovtgoing traffic is still very heavy, and all trains on all roads are crowded to the utmost capacity. The Omaha ran a train of sixteen coaches to Sioux City Monday. A. A. Heard, recently general passenger agent of the Northern steamship company, has been appointed secretary of the Central Traffic assocvlation. to succeed B. F. Knapp. The largest train load of syrup from the Towl Syrup company which ever left the city, wont south yesierday over the Burling ton in record breaking time. The Northern Pacific Railway company holds a large block of bonds of the North Yakima Improvement company, Washington, and it is said that the railroad will put more money into the venture and push the work of constructing canals and laterals. The settling of the fertile Yakima valley would bring revenue to the railroad in freight receipts. TRADES CONGRESS. Regular Work of the Session Under AVay. EDINBURGH, Sept. B.— The congress of the British trades unions today dis cussed the report of the parliamentary committee, which opposes further par ticipation in international congresses. Finally the delegates adopted Ben Til let's motion to the effect that all future international congresses should be con stituted of representatives of bona fide labor organizations, and that the dele gates should be determined on the line of those chosen to the British Trades council. In discussion of the motion of the British Paper Makers union that no representative of the press be allow ed to report the proceedings of the congress unless he can prove that the newspaper he represents is "printed by trades union labor, and on paper manu factured in the United Kingdom," the delegates voted to exclude the reporters of all nonunion papers. The latter in clude all of the newspapers of Edin burgh. Councillor W. Thorne, a member of the parliamentary committee and a delegate of the gas workers union, moved, and the congress adopted, a resolution declaring for the limitation of the work day to eight hours in all trades and occupations. E. Harford, a delgate of the Amalgamated rail road servants, moved a resolution call ing for an amendment of the employes liability act, particularly in regard to the responsibility of subcontractors, for the extension of the period of no tice and the removal of the maximum limit of compensation. The motion was adopted. The congress also adopted a motion favoring bills to amend the law of conspiracy and the law regarding bleaches of the peace.

CROP REPORT DISCOUNTED. EXPECTED UNFAVORABLE GOVERN MENT SHOWING HELPED TO STAY PRICES. ANOTHER DECLINE IN CORN. Oats Held Firm and the Slender Price Changes in Provisions Were for the Better. CHICAGO. Sept. B.— Good export business and . expectations of an unfavorable govern ment crop report, helped December wheat to regain an early loss of 34c. and close a shade higher. Corn was not so buoyant and de clined '4c for May. Oats advanced %c, and provisions cleared unchanged to 5c high er. The bears in the wheat market had enough encouragement at the opening to make their hearts glad. The world's shipments to Europe last week were 7,174,000 bu, Includ ing 3,347,000 bu from this side. The amount on ocean passage increased 248,000 bu last week; the receipts at Minneapolis and Duiuth since Saturday numbered 2,512 cars, com pared with 3,175 for the corresponding time a year ago. Chicago received 462 cars, com pared with 247 on the similar days of the pre vious year. The political situation had like wise a little effect in creating the weakness at the opening, which was represented by a decline from 57% c for December wheat at the start to 57%@57%e in the course of the next half hour, and compared with Saturday's closing value of 57%(g/58c. The visible supply statement did not show quite as large an in crease as had been looked for, the addition for the week being given as 921,000 bu, against from 1,000,000 bu to 1,500,000 expected, and compared with aji increase of 1,318,000 bu on the corresponding week ot last year. ■Some encouragement was also derived from the export business, which, up- to noou, was placed at 400,000 bu, though all of it couid not be confirmed. The clearance* of wheat and flour for one day trom the Atlantic ports were equal to 040,000 bu, 323,000 of which was in the shape ot wheat. These items were con sidered favorable by the bull contingent, and by 12 o clock an advance to 57% c had taken place. There was considerable strength developed during the last hour on a pointer sent from New York that the government report Thursday would estimate only 396 - 000,000 bu of wheat. Early sellers turned buy ers, and December sold to 58c, a shade higher than it closed Saturday. That was the closing figure. Low as corn prices were before, they declined still more today. The continued large receipts augmented the general depression among holders, and though the market recov ered a little before the close, it at no time showed real strength. May opened l%c lower at 24c, declined to 23% c and closed easy at 23% c. Oats were dull and rather easy most of the session. May opened %c lower at 18% c, and advanced to 18%@18%c, where it closed. Provisions were dull during the great er part of the session, but with a firm un dertone. Price changes were slight, but for the better. January pork closed 5c higher at $6.60. January lard 2%c higher at $3.57%<g3.60. January ribs unchanged at $3.30. Estimated: Wheat, 350 cars; corn, 905 cars; oats. 450 cars; hogs. 30,000 head.

The opening was lower on large receipts posted in the northwest and an expectation of large increase ln the visible supply. But at the break of about a cent from Saturday's closing there occurred some pretty fair buy ing which lifted the market about a half cent before the close of the first half of the noon hour. The visible statement was a dis appointment to those who had previously sold and on its posting there was a tendency to buy back the wheat.

CASH WHEAtXover 1,000 cars of wheat were the receipts covering three days. Ele vators were quite liberal buyers of No. 1 northern on spot and to arrive, when offered, at l%c under December price. As money is considerably easier there is more life to the market, but it is plainly observable that No. 2 northern and No. 3 wheat as well as low grades are not wanted to any considerable extent. Nos. 2 and 3 wheat were traded at l ] /i®2c under December and 3c to sc, re spectively. Millers were sharp buyers of old No. 1 northern and paid December price for all spot offerings, and the same basis was gen erally adhered to in contracts of standard new wheat to arrive. Old No. 2 northern and No. 3 wheat found purchasers at %c under No. 1 for the former and lc to l%c under December for the latter. It will be noticed that the excellent demand from the millers for old standard grade wheat has re sulted ln slightly raising the price of old No. 3 wheat. Receipts, 1,049 cars; shipped, 263 cars.

PAUL'S SHOWING ANNUAL REPORT A FACTOR IN TURNING THE NEW YORK STOCK TIDE. MACHINE MADE MARKET. MANIPULATION PLAINLY TO BE SEEN IN THE COURSE OF PRICES. CLOSE *WAS AT THE TOP LEVEL. For the General List the Gain for the Day Wait Not Far From a Point. NEW YORK, Sept. B.— The stock market to day was moderately active and the course of prices irregular. There was clear evidence of manipulation by operators for both ac counts, with the bears in control In the fore noon and the bulls In the afternoon dealings. The only news bearing upon prices cons-isted of the declaration of the regular quarterly dividend by the Manhattan directors, the recommendation of the declaratlon'of the reg ular disbursement on Western Union, and the St. Paul annual report. The arrival of gold from Europe has now begun to be re garded as a matter of course and also the de posits of fairly considerable amounts of the metal in the subtreasury. London prices came lower as a result of bear strategy, it was claimed, and the local opening, under this influence and realizing, was decidedly weak, with the Industrials and specialties the chief sufferers. The early declines extended to 1% per cent. At the declines the market became dull, there being a noticeable absence of pressure of long stock, and this fact soon caused a firmer tone and fractional recover ies occurred. The bears renewed their pres sure on the grangers and specialties. Lon don was a seller of St. Paul and Louisville & Nashville and the railway shares generally ■ were rather heavy. After 1 o'clock the mar ket turned on the execution of buying orders for both accounts, partly influenced by the publication of the pamphlet report of annual operations of the St. Paul, showing even more favorably than had been anticipated. The market on the up tack displayed more ani mation than had characterized the reaction and the traders were active in bidding up prices especially ln Sugar. The Industrials contributed largely to the aggregate sales and the variations in some of those stocks were noteworthy, including Cotton Oil pre ferred, which advanced from 10 to 13% on an exchange of 100 shares.' The closing: was at the top level at gains of a point or thereabouts in many shares. Bonds rose sharply in sympathy with the improvement in stock values. The gains, however were most pronounced in the less active issues. The sales were $790,000. Governments were ami but strong on purchases of $10,500. State bonds were dealt in to the extent of $21 500 at slight changes. i_7St_- *2** 1 ■*__*, •_ 6tocks ot today were 188,340 shares, including the following: To bacco, 4.200; Sugar, 34,600: Burlington? 14,500 ■ Chicago Gas. 6,100; General Electric, 4 200 --h ™& »", W : Manhattan, 21.100: Reading, 6,400; Rock Island, 7.100; St. Paul, 36,900; Ten nessee Coal ft Iron, 6,900; W.

B.— Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon $060,000 in gold was deposited in the United States subtreasury ln exchange for legal tender notes. Some of the assay office checks that were issued last week in payment for gold bullion have been exchanged for greenbacks, so that the gold they represented becomes part of the treasury gold reeerva. The steamship La Normandie, which arrived from Europe yesterday, brought $1,773,000 in gold. The Bank of England, it was reported by telegraph, sold another round amount of gold tills morning for shipment to this coun try, and this fact, together with the knowl edge of the large, amount of gold now on its way here and the pressure of commercial bills combine to make the sterling exchange mar ket easy and keep the rates down.

HE WAS NEW To the Conntry and Didn't Under stand Its Business. Washington Star. I had overtaken an old farmer ln the road and as we Jogged along together we turned a bend and came upon eight or ten men who had a prisoner ln their midst, and were' mak ing preparations to hang him to the l^mb of a tree. "Here— what's all this?" asked the old man as we came to a halt. "Goin' to hang the kuss!" was the brief reply. "What fur." 'Stealin' that boss over thar." The "hoss over thar" was tied to a tree and the farmer took a good look at him and then at the prisoner, and asked of the latter: ".Say, didn't you come along to my place this mornin'?" '"Yes," was the reply. "And didn't I sell you that hoss for $30'" "Yes." "I am sure I did. How does it come about then, that they ar' goin' to hang you fur hoss stealin'?" "I dunno." "He bought that how of you, did he'" •asked the leader of the band, who was ar ranging the noose. "He surely did. and no doubt he's got my bill of sale ln his pocket. Yes. I sold him that critter at 8 o'clock this mornin' My name's Thompson, and I guess some of you know me." * "Look a-here!" exclaimed the leader as he turned on the prisoner, "did you buy that hoss?" "Yes." "And you've got a bill of sale?" ''Yes." "Then why in blazes didn't you say so when we run you down fur a hoss thief." "Wall." replied the man, as he looked around and yawned, as lf bored with the pro ceedings. "I hain't bin in this kentry but three or four days and I didn't know what the custom was?" They hauled him off his feet twice, just to make him acquainted with the ways of the country, and then rode off in search of new game. Probably Deserved It. San Francisco Wave.

Some cutting in early planted fields has been done, and probably more than 60 per cent is ripe enough to cut. While a considerable acreage is practically safe, yet if a killing frost comes before the 25th inst., there will be more than the usual amount of soft and immature corn harvested this season. To round out the entire crop all of September is needed, with normal temperature and sun shine. In the sections where fall grain is grown, good advancement has been made ia plowing and seeding. Illinois Bulletin, CHICAGO, Sept. 8.-The Illinois report says: .Corn cutting ls general and well ad vanced. Late corn is practically beyond frost injury, and a large crop ls assured. In southern counties, pastures are brown and bare, elsewhere over the state fair to good pasturage is afforded. Wheat land is being prepared, also general fall plowing done wheat seeding will begin the last of thia week, although good rains are needed tc aid in the preparation of the soil. : fW?vfi!__^ p GuTDI!
