had then promised himself at the proper
lime to take the
MOST ENKROKTIC MEASURES
against them, lie made examples of many
of the must notorious wrong-doer-*. In all
Ida projects of reform, he gave an Important
place to public education. Ily a decree of
Oct. Z\, IS.V», lie removed all the restrictions
which limited the nmnher.of students in Urn
Itusslan Universities. Nicholas had ordered
in IS4U that alt the Professors of the Alex
andrian College and tho St. Petersburg
School of Law should be chosen from Uio
higher ofllcers of tho army. Alexander, on
the :rah of February, 1830, repealed all these
orders. •*! desire henceforth,” ho said,
*• that military officers shall not ho desig
nated lodischarge duties of this kind hi tho
civil Institutions. A new Faculty, called that
.of Oriental Languages, had been established
•Sept. J-, 1853, at the University of St. Peters
burg, ami a decree published at tho end of
-May, IS3O, to regulate public Instruction on
the new principles, placed It under tho im
mediate supervision and direction of the Em
peror.
JUS REPUTATION FOU MILDNESS
and humanity gave some hopes to Poland,
A ukase of May 3T, LS3O, authorized the re
turn of tho emigrants of 1830 and 1831. Uut
this amnesty was very limited, ami extended
only to those who expressed penitence, ami
It did not restore conllscalcd estates. While
In many respects more concililury, Alexander
was not less attached than Ids father to tho
principle of tho unity of the Empire. “Abovo
all,” he said, “let there ho no more dreams.
I will know how to oblige those to do their
duty who wish to nourish such Illusions.
Finland and Poland are to me as dear us nil
'the other provinces of my Empire; but, for
tho good of tho Poles themselves, it is need
ful that they should remain forever members
of the great Russian family. I like better to
reward than to punish; but when there Is
need I shall
KNOW HOW’ TO DE SEVERE,
ami I will be.” So he oppressed himself be
fore the assembled nobility of Poland on Uio
occasion of his journey to Varsovlr, and his
words excited tho greatest enthusiasm In Urn
old Russian party. Elsewhere some im
portant victories In tho Caucasus ami tho
capture of Sehnmyl prepared tho way for the
pacification of this most turbulent part of tbo
Russian Empire.
Still Poland was to cause tho Emperor
Alexander tho greatest embarrassments in
tho Interior, and to disturb his relations witli
Europe. Tho concessions which lie mado
did not satisfy the National sentiment. In
March, 1801, ho
ACCOHDEI) TO POLAND
the reorganization of its educational systems,
the foundation of higher schools of learning,
and a school of taw, a Connell of Stale, com*
posed of ecclesiastical dignitaries and lead*
Ingcitizens, elective councils in the depart
ment!) and districts, and some subordinate
municipal councils In tho principal cities.
Some disorders arose, which were sternly
pnt down, and toward tho end of 1803 a gen
eral Polish Insurrection broke out. A rev
olutionary government, secret and supremo
iu all its operations, ami beyond tho power
or knowledge of tbo Russian police, directed
all its movements. Tito strife was prolonged,
and excited the deepest sympathy in all Eu
rope. In France. England, ami Italy a
series of friendly demonstrations were made.
A special Congress was proposed by tho
Western Powers, and, after a haughty re
fusal by Gortsclmholf, agreed to by tho Czar
(Nov. 0-18, isttl). But it came to nothing.
A ukase signed at Kisslngcn in June, 1804,
permitted refugees from Poiami, exiled on
account of late events, to return to tho coun
try, provided they were guilty of no capital
crime.
DIVEIW UECIIKES.
Decrees in tiie month of September follow
ing reorganized the public instruction of Po
land, authorized the use of tho National lan
guage, and modified tho penal code, mitiga
ting tho penalties for many offenses, and
abolisiiing corporal punishment.
ft But the period of clemency was short. A
nkaso of December,-1803,. forbade Poles to
acquire in future seignornl fiefs In Poland,
and facilitated ttio acquisition by Russians of
sequestrated estates in Poland. Auothcr de
cree of Aug. 0, 1800, ordered that ail public
affairs should bo thenceforth transacted in
Uio Russian language in Poland as in other
parts of the Empire. Almost Immediately
A CONSinEUAULB UEVOLT
broke out; Uio exiles in Siberia, who weru
for tho most part Poles, organized in regi
ments and sought to overcome the royal
troops, but tho revolt was so speedily sub
dued that It gave no hope to Poland. Tho
following year another ukase suppressed tho
Council of State of tho oncicnt Kingdom of
Poland, its Inst surviving National institution.
Still another uknso decreed that public insti
tutions In Poland should bo undur tho super
intendence of tho Imperial Minister at
St. Petersburg. Finally, In April, 1808.
tho Kingdom of Poland was formally abol
ished, the net arousing some fruitless emo
tions in other European countries; and very
soon afterwards tho Poles were prohibited
from wearing certain characteristic parts of
their national costume.
ANOTHF.H CHEAT ACT
which distinguished thn Interior ndmlnlstra
llon of Alexander, was tho emancipation of
tiio serfs, to which tho Emperor was entirely
devoted front the first. Tho manifesto which
accomplished tills great social transforma
tion was dated Feb. U) (March 20), 1801. It
was agreed upon in a lung and solemn ses
sion of the Council of tho Empire, in obedi
ence to tho expressed will of Alexander, and
In spile of the opposition of Ids chief
Councilors. According to tho terms of
Emancipation, tiie Lords reserved Uio
title to Uio soil, but left to tho peasants, with
n perpetual usufruct, tho farms which
they held, subject to certain easy conditions
of payment Undur Uio new order of things
the peasants were called at first compulsory
tenants. They were authorized, not only to
buy their own farms, but to acquire more,
‘with the consent of the owners; and in all
respects weru permitted to establish them
selves us free proprietors.
THE FOIIEIGN POLICY
of Alexander was remarkable neither for
great boldness nor for weakness. “ Since
Uio Peace," Princo Gorstschukoff said,
"Russiadoes not worry herself; she recu
perates." In the discussions relative to
1110 contested points of tho Treaty
of Paris, Russia conducted herself
•with noticeable moderation. Tho Govern
ment exhibited sumo resentment toward
England and Austria, and professed great re
gard fur France. It especially expressed
great sympathy for Napoleon 111. on his
coronation, uml thereafter endeavored to
form with him an Intimate alliance.
The neutrality of Russia during the war
between France and Austria, helped to iso
late the iall’er from Uio rest of Germany.
Later, tho Emperor Alexander proposed to
recognize the Kingdom of Italy, Morcovqr,
toward tho end of IWJ, an interview with the
Prince Regent of Prussia at Breslau
KESL'I.TED IN AN UNDEUSTANUINO
between the Courts of tit. Petersburg and
Berlin. Tiie part taken by Austria in 18UH in
proposing tm agreement between Franco,
England, and herself, still further increased
Uio estrangement of Russia from Uiui Power.
The Emperor Alexander has been gener
ally credited with u lively interest in Euro
pean alfnlrs. So, when in IfcW, in the midst
of the German complications, ho ordered the
llusslaii army to be put on n war footing ids
fiction produced a profound sensation
throughout Europe. But the Intentions of
Itussia were tlieu directed only toward Cen
tral Asia and the extreme Hast. Tlie Em
peror hud seized the opportunity presented
In the engrossment of Germany ami Austria
\n home alfairs to push out his frontiers to
the south, lie overcame the Emir of Bok
hara, destroyed hU nrmv, ' and seized
the City of Scumoruiul Ju itidu.
Russia, having acquired influence In
Afghanistan, Immediately became a dan*
gornus neighbor for England's Indian pus*
sessions: mid Into event-* have proved that
llm conllkt of the two great. Powms in that
distant held have hut Just begun.
THE ONLY Tl’.nmroilV
by the Czar during his long reign, except tho
strips taken from him alter the Crimean War,
was far-off Alaska, which he justly regarded
ns worthless, and sold to tho United Stales
for S", 000,000, which was many times wlml it
was worth. Tho Cznr had early cemented a
warm friendship with lids country, and was
during nil our Civil War the best friend wo
hud in Europe.
Tim Cznr especially sympathized with
Crete in Its efforts to throw otf the yoke of
Turkey, Ids hereditary enemy; and gave tho
former valuable assistance both during tho
strife and In settling the terms of peace.
A DEVOTED CHURCHMAN.
The late Czar was a devoted churchman,
as became the nominal head of tho Greek
Church, and endeavored constantly to In
crease its dignity and authority. In ISO 7ho
ordered that nil children born of mixed mar
riages should bo brought up in tho tlreek
religion, lie suppressed the Catholic dio
cese of Kumlcsii, and forbade Catholic
ccccleshistics in Russia to communicate with
the Holy See.
In spite of tho cries of wretchedness and
want, and the agitations of the Nihilists,
which was too well founded In tho actual
condition of tho Russian peasantry, there
was a steady progress in the direction of
elementary education and the Improvement
of the masses. Tho Emperor believed in a
liberal policy of public works, and author
ized tho lirst attempt to build an oveflnnd
telegraph to America. He was n constant
promoter of railway enterprises and other
like improvements.
THE lII.ACK SKA OPENED.
During the Franco-German war Uio Czar
secured at the London Conference of 1870,
by a modification of tile treaty of Paris of
ISSO, tho denationalization of the Black Sea.
Tlie great achievements of the Russian arms
in Uio war with Turkey restored the prestige
of the Empire; and it is now far more pow
erful than it was when Alexander ascended
the throne. Indeed, it maybe said that in
nil respects, except for its llnancial condition,
lussia tms made enormous striues forward
ndur Alexander.

FORMER ATTEMPTS.
AN ASSASIN-HAUNTED DFiSPOT.
Tills is tho sixth attempt that hos been
made upon tho Czar’s life, tho first having
been made on "April 10, 1800, when ho was
ffred at while’ entering his carriage at St.
Petersburg. The pistol, however, was turned
aside by Dimitri Korakosow, who was after
wards ennobled for tho act.
THE SECOND ATTEMPT
was made at Paris, Juno 0, 1807, by Bore
zowskl, a Pole, who fired into tho carriage
in which tho Czar was seated with ids two
sons and tho Emperor Napoleon. Both
Sovereigns escaped unhurt, but tho
horse of olio of tho equerries was
wounded. Tho assastn was about to tiro
another shot when tho barrel of tho pistol
burst and rendered his hand powerless.
TIHIID ATTEMPT.
Another great shock was given to public
feeling April 14, 1877, when Alexander
Solovloff attempted to shoot tho Czar in front
of tho house of tho military staff In St.
Petersburg. The assastn was arrested and
was found to have capsules containing poison,
which ho could break in an Instant In Ids
mouth. When asked why ho had made tho
ottempt, ho answered that tho task had
fallen on him by lot, and ho had no alter
native.
This plot led to the adoption of some new
EXTUAOIIDINAIIY MKABUIIEH.
Gens. Todleben, Loris-Muiikoff, and Gourko
were appointed Governors-Geiicnd with ex
ceptional powers at Odessa, Kharkov, and
St. Petersburg, and similar powers wore
conferred on tho Goveniors-Gcneral of
Moscow, Kiev, ami Warsaw. These officers
were authorized to remove from their dis
tricts ail persons whoso presence they
considered pernicious; to subject civil
ians to martial law; to arrest on
their own responsibility, any person
of whatever rank; to suppress newspapers,
and periodicals; and generally to adopt
whatever measures should appear necessary
fur the maintenance of public order. At St.
Petersburg

gave orders that a porter should be stationed
day and night at tiie door of every house,
whose-duty it should be to watch that no
authorized placards should be posted
up anywhere, and that no objects
of a dangerous nature should
be placed in the streets. Gunsmiths weru
ordered to furnish full lists of the goods in
their warehouses to tho commandant of tho
city, and wore forbidden to sell except to
persons who could present letters of author
ization from that officer, I’rlvato persons
possessing tirearms must make the pollco ac
quainted with the fact, and must obtain a
permit from tho commandant of Uio city us a
condition of Uielr keeping thorn. The order
commanding guards to be stationed at all tho
houses was

In details, were made for all tho principal
towns of Uiu Kmpire.
Several weeks elapsed before tho disorders
appeared to bo at all quieten, even under Uio
most rigorous enforcement of these regula

Uio Government ami obnoxious per

A part of the number were found guilty of

to dentil; others, who were convicted of
conspiring against tho State and social or

tude. Explosions which were attributed to the
revolutionists took place in tho Police Ofllco
at Onrsk, at Nlznl-Novgorod. and a
powder magazine near St. Petersburg. Nu

the Empire for having explosives orlurbid

of which was to overthrow by violence tho

cretion in tho cases of political olfenders,—
whether to semi them for trial before

June IP. WW convicts were dispatched from
Odessa In the ship Nlzhnl-Novgorod fur tho
Island of Saghalieti, oif Japan, where they
ware to serve their terms of punishment. Tito
friends of tho Government represented Unit
they were for the most part persons who
were guilty of common crimes, hut others
asserted Hint by far tho larger part of them
were revolutionists, Tho vessel sailed by the
way of tho .Suez Canal and tho Ued Sea, and
arrived at Nagasaki Aug. 1. Reports of their
frightful sufferings were officially contra
dicted. In November tbo Minister of
the Interior sent out a circular to
tho Governors of Provinces, instructing
them to order the rural police not to Inter
fere with thn public dances and amusement*
in tbo villages, as such Interference had
caused discontent among tho rural popula
tion.
THE Till AT. OP LEON MIIISKV,
with seven persons charged with being his
accomplices, for the attempted nssasltmtion
of Gen. Drentein, Chief of tho Gen
darmerie, began in tho Military Court
at St. Petersburg Nov. 27. All
the prisoners were accused of belonging to n
secret society whose object was to overturn
the existing Government and to enforce ti
change of tho social order of tiie Empire.
Mlrskywaa also accused specifically of tho
attempt to assnslnato Gen. Drentein, of re
sisting tho officers who came to arrest him,
of lubricating false passports, and
of inciting nls fellow-prisoners, after
they were arrested, to revolt. Tho
chief accusation against tho other prisoners
was that of concealing Mirsky after Ills at
tempt against Gen. Drentein. Mlraky
acknowledged tho commission of the ol
fenses for which lie was arraigned, ami only
pleaded that he had coipmUtud them for
public, not for personal, reasons, and asked
not to be hanged as n common murderer. A
sentence to death by hanging was Imposed
upon him, but was commuted to one of bard
labor In tho mines. Tury Tnrkhoff, his prin
cipal accomplice, was sentenced to hard la
bor In a fortress for ten years.
THE MOSCOW ATTEMPT.
Another attempt upon the life of tho Czar
was made Dec. 2, when a mine was exploded
under tiie railroad with tho intention of
blowing up tho train on which lie was enter
ing Moscow. His Majesty, however,
was not in the train, which was
nlown up, and escaped. The mine which ex
ploded had been dug out from a house near
he lino of the railroad, which had been
bought by tne young men, who occupied it
about three months before, and was worked
from tho house by galvanic wires. Tho
Uznr, it is said, had been warned that an at
tempt would be made upon him, and changed
the arrangement of tho trains, so as to mis
lead his assailants.
.FIFTH ATTEMPT.
At about 7 o’clock on tho evening of tho
17th of February, 1880, an explosion occurred
in tho basement of tho Imperial winter
Palace, under tho principal guard-room.
Owing to an accidental delay tho Czar and
tho members of tho Royal family did not ou
ter at tho usual time. Tito explosion made a
hoiu in the dining hall tlfteen feet long
ami about twelve feet wide. Tho escape
of the Emperor was almost miraculous.
Eight soldiers stationed in tho guard-room
were killed. Tiie palace had been carefully
guarded by police, yet it was found on ex
amination the train could be traced to n
cellar in tho Inner court, ami that immediately
under tbo guardroom was placed the dynam
ite and a quantity of gun-cotton. Fragments
of thfl Umbers wore thrown all over the hall,
and, had tiie Emperor and his family been In
their places, they couid not possibly have es
caped. At tho time, the fact that the train
had not been discovered wasmueh comment
ed on. and it was thought that some mem
bers of Uie Royal household were privy to
Uio plot.

Duplin, March 13.—Tho following Is tho ref
erence to the Land League In Archbishop Mc-
Cabe’s Lenten pastoral:
“ Let nobody accuse us of want of sympathy
with tho great question of Justice which now
appeals to tho Parliament for settlement. Tho
cause is just and holy, and curries with it tbo
blessings of religion. Amongst tho terrible
mistakes mudo formerly by tho rulers of this
unhappy land, there Is none perhaps which will
equal In folly that which will bo now committed
It tbo vital question of tenure of land
holdings Is not Bottled now and forever
on Just principles to all. So convinced aro wo
that a full and honest settlement of this con
troversy Is Essential (o tho temporal happiness
and moral and religious interests ofourcuun
trynt<W'tbat| | if tho sacrifice of our blood could
load td tho, consummation of this grand act of
Justice,
WB WOULD MAKE THAT SACRIFICE.
Whilst wo blcsss tho end now aimed at, wo
must again proclaim that some of Hio moons
employed In'tlio Simula cannot reculvo tho
sanction of religion. Tim modesty of her
daughters was tho ancient glory of Ireland, but
ail this Is now to bo abandoned, and our daugh
ters aro summoned, under tbo llhnsy pretext of
charity, (o take their stand In tho
noisy arena of public life. Tho pre
text of charity Is merely assumed,
for already wo have holy associations of men
and women who do works of mercy for tbo poor
and nllllctcd, and even harsh laws now earning
In force have mercifully provided for the fami
lies of those falling under their power. Irish
women are asked to forget tho modesty of tboir
sex by lenders who seem
UTTERLY RECKLESS OK THE CONSEQUENCES,
and who by tholr reeklcsness have brought
misery on many families. Reverend Fathers,
set your faces against this dishonorable attempt.
T)o not tolerate In your sodalities a woman wbo
so far disavows her modesty as to parade herself
publicly In a character so unworthy of tho Child
of Mary. This attempt at degrading Irish
women comes very appropriately from men
who bavo drawn tbo country Into Its present
terribly deplorable condition. Deprived of tbo
safeguards of tbe Constitution, people may be
come tbo prey of perjured Informers,—men wbo
have sent tboir agents to fawn on notorious in-
Uriels and revolutionists, and wbo, to escape tho
odium of tholr act,
ADUSE THE CHRISTIAN POLITENESS
of tbo most venerable prelate and Illustrious
soldier of Franco, Cardinal Oulbort (Archbishop'
of Paris) and Mursbnl MaeMnbon. Those men
and tboir agents, to foward tboir views, wero
not ashamed to calumniate tbo dlocceo whoso
prelates wero formerly tho glory of the Irish
Church, and wbo were not afraid to warn tholr
peoule when misled by fulso friends and danger
ous advisors. These are sources whence cornu
great dangers to our faith. Let us pray tho
Almighty that Ho may scatter tho enemies of
His bolv cause? that Ills wisdom may direct tho
counsels of our rulers? and that llonmy bind to
gether forovur tbo priests and people."

who had within tho past Ihroo days directly

(ho most positive denials of tho rumors, and Mr.

was the first paper In the country to make
public tho important fact that the
control of tho Northern Pacific has
passed Into tho hands of a powerful
syndidnto who have other Interests which enu he
promoted by tbe formation of tbo Northern
Panlllo. Examining further and more close*
ly into tho matter to-day, I can say to-night,
upon tho strength ol conversations with parties
closely allied with one of tho corporations most
tamely interested in the new deal, that the
statements of my first dispatch are fully borne
out,—that tho Northern Pacific has passed from
Its old management, and that tho Now York and
Chicago Interests have won
ONli OF Tin; MOST IMPOKTANT 11AI LAV AY
FIOHTS
of recent chronicling. At tho bead of tho new
syndicate, which will from this time forward
have tho management of tho Northern Pnelllo
Itond, Is Henry Villard, President of tho Oregon
Hallway & Navigation Company, a" corporation
of great wealth and backlog of the most for*
nildable llnaiiclnl character. It was felt by the
olllcors of this Company that It tbo Northern
Pacific were allowed to perfect certain exten
sions of tho lino which have been for some
than past In contemplation,' tbo Hallway
& Navigation Company's Interests would to
a certain extent- bo Injured, and this they
strove to prevent. The latter Company has a
lino of railroad on the smith side of the Colum
bia Ulver, from the mouth of Snake Hlvor to
Portland, Ore. When tho Northern Pacific
people begun to agitato tho question of con
structing
AN OPPOSITION LINK
on tho north sldo of tbo river from and to tbo
sumo points, tbo Hallway & Navigation mana
gers begun to kick, to use a vulgar
saying. The more ■ they kicked tbo
warmer became tbo light, and tho rooro de
termined wore tho Northern Pno|tio to ' put
tbo line through, for they felt that If such op
position should come from n company already
owning and operating a lino of read between
tbo points named, It certainly must bo n re
markably remunerative Investment. Finally,tbo
Hallway & Navigation Company, seeing that they
could win their point; no other way, proposed
a compromise, Uut this was scorned. Sir. Hil
lings and tbe Directory of tbo Nortborn Puclllo
Informing Mr. Villard that they proposed to
build the line. With commendable enterprise
Mr. Villard conceived a new plan for gaining tho
point he wished mid
DEFEATING TIIK CONSTRUCTION OF TUB
lIIVAI. JiUAD,
and this was no less than tho purebuso of tho
Northern Pacific control. Such a plan would
stagger tho ordinary individual, but VlUard
know what ho was doing, and know tho
men with whom ho was dealing. They
wore mostly prominent railway men, and
before he knew It. Thoro wore *10,00.1,000 at
Ids disposal. Ho said ho would go Into tho
market and get tho stock bofoio It could bo
known whut no was tin to, lor tho moment
tho actual object should become bruted on
tho Exchange that moment holders would
play with his money and keep tho quotations
ascending. With Ids *10,000.000, Mr. Vlllurd
went Into Wall street Just about a month ago.
NOUTItKIIN PACIFIC WAS

37 or . JW. ily excellent management,
quiet maneuvering, and tact Villiml tmeccedou
in getting *23.two,two worth of Northern Puolllo
securities Instead of *27,003.000, us stated Inst
night, and this was done, strange ns It may ap
pear, without materially oxciting tho stock
market. At ono tlmo thoro was an
advance of llvo points, but It is
staled that this was after the purchase
had boon completed, and that It did not alfoct
tho average of Vlllurd'a payments. On tbo
strength ot the uncertain rumors and tbo knowl
edge that something was happening, tbo price
bus slnco steadily advanced, until It Is to-day
about ten points abovo whoru Vlllurd struck It
with his *26,000,000 club. Tbo stock which
WAS PURCHASED FOU TUB OREGON RAIL
WAV U NAVIGATION COMPANY
by Mr. Vlllurd la to tbo axiom: of threo-fourths
of tlio deal common and tbo remainder pre
ferred. Tho common, I am mid. was gathered
in on an average of UN, yet 1 am inclined
to doubt that It was secured uuito so low as that.
Thu preferred stock was picked up at a 00 aver
age, which a little below its present market
ruling. I um told that ono of the lending
parties In tho now deal In conjuctlun
with Vlllurd Is Mr. George M. Pullman, of Chi
cago, and that Mr. Wllliiyn Endicott, Jr., of Pos
ton, is also allied with tho scheme. Tbo other
New-Yorkers I have not learned yet. It may bo
slated generally that uJurgo number of promi
nent capitalists aro
INTERESTED IN TUB SCHEME,
and have supplied largely the mono)' which
Vlllanl has succeeded In so excellently luvesi
intr. U whs reported lo*dny by soino with
whom 1 talked that Vundorbllt, Jay Ouuld. and
Hassell dago- have furnished much of the
money, uud were prominently Idcntl
lied with the syndicate, but ofllccrs
of the Oregon Hallway & Navigation
Company state.that!bis Is not true, and further
more assert that mmo of those magnates have
anything to do with the scheme. 1 am inclined
to believe tills to bo a fact, for It was shown mu
that other capitalists huvo furnished the
funds, who. while they nro not ready
to bo known in tbo matter now, will sbow tbolr
baud at tbo proper time. Naturally
TUB PROSPECTIVE CHANGE
In the management of tbo Northern Paolflo
occurs to the mind, and it will bo ttsked,
When ttru these to take place? 1 cun
say detinitty that tbero will bo no
change for tho present. Tbo regular annual
mooting ot tbe Company will bo bold In Beptein*
her next, and on that occasion, it Is understood,
tbo new syndicate will “bub up serenely from
below," and tho present incumbents of
thu ulilces will “take a header*’ Into
tbo waters of railway oblivion. Frederick Hill
lugs, of Vermont, who, as the holder of ( 0.000,(iuO
of seeitrlties. bus been heretofore the largest
stockholder of tbo road, will then likely retire
Irom tbo Presidency, bis boallb being poor.
Tbero may be
A CLANK AS TO Illfl SUCCESSOR,
but the Vlllnrd syndicate nntlclpais no troubto
in bolding the management. Tbo act of Con*
gross incorporating tbo Nonborn Pacino uu
iborlzod tbo Issue of f 100,0j0.000 of stuck, but no
small proportion of that amount is looked in
thu Company's treasury, having never
been put upon tbo market. Borne
authorities estimate tbo amount of
stock issued at 175.1XW.000, but tbo largest
amount ever represented and voted upon at any
annual meeting was fiH.iXXWWU. Uut oven
though Mr. Hillings, us tho loader of uu appor

lieves that
