Duluth A: Iron Kuiikc Seeking the
Necetisary Permission From the
Ituilrund Commissioners!
Chairman B. D. Caldwell, of the
Western Passenger association, left for
Chicago last night via the Omaha,
after a two days' stay hero, without
securing the consent of the Soo offi
cials to the agreement which it is un
derstood lias been entered into by all
other lints in the territory west of
Chicago, t>> restore commissions to a
nominal figure. ->!r. Caldwell made
the statement after an unsucce* sful
interview with General Passenger
nl Callaway, of the Soo line, that
the officials of that line did noi
like entering the agreement until such
time as the matter of their differentials
at the Pacific coast could be adjusted
to their satisfaction. The chairman,
while clever about the whole matter,
evinced some disappointment at not
being able to bring to an end at this
time the payment of ridiculously high
commissions to agents who secure busi
ness. It is a matter of history,
since the offer of General Passenger
Agent Heafford, of the Milwaukee, t < >
pay a bonus to the .«"ller of the first
ticket i" the Pacific coast via the Mil
waukee's new train, that instead of
paying $1.50, the roads have been
( bliged to raise this until the figures
got up to $5, and in some cases $8 from
to the coast. The commissions
from Chicago are from $2 to $3 higher
than tlics.' figures. As a matter of
course all the roads were obliged to
meet the increased incentive to busi
ness, and the agents were until lately
happy. Recently they knew that the
pace could not be maintained, and that
v drop was sure to come. All the lines
agreed to restore the nominal commis
sions save the Soo line, and it was to
secure its consent that Mr. Cald
well tame up from Chicago. He has
hat yet succeeded.
The Soo people say quite frankly
that they had no hand in raising the
commissions from normal figures, and
that they do not, at this time, care to
go back. "The Soo line was not the
aggressor in the matter, and now that
the $5 rate has been made it proposes
to stay by it for a time," said a rep
resentative of the line yesterday, and
there is the situaion.
It is claimed that by the payment of
these excessive commissions the roads
are monthly losing $100,000. At all
events the matter will be called up at
the meeting in Chicago tomorrow.
A Chicago dispatch <>n tnis subject
<;.ys: Should the Soo persist in its in
tention of continuing the payment of
?xeessive commissions the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific will probably
do the same, and the excessive com
missions will be continued on business
to all North Pacific coast points. It
will be well if the matter ends there.
The Burlington will probably feel com
pelled to continue the excessive pay
ments on business over its Billings
route, and if so it may feel compelled
to pay them on Colorado business as
well. That would upset the whole plan
of their withdrawal, and last week's
work would all go for nothing. It is
earnestly hoped that Chairman Cald
well's representations to the Soo ex
ecutive will be successful in inducing
them to become a party to the agree
ment for the withdrawal of excessive
commissions. A meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the Western Pas
senger association \\;.s held this after
noon, at which steps were taken to pre
vent the continuance of excessive com
missions on California business. Irre
spective of what the Soo may do in re
gard to the payment on North Pacific
roast business. It was the sense of
the committee that the action of the
Soo should be ignored, so far as Califor
nia business is concerned, and a strong
recommendation will be made to all the
lines to that effect. It is by no means
certain, however, that the executive
committee will succeed in having its
recommendation adopted. The busi
ness is so interwoven that when any
course is adopted relating to North
Pacific coast business, it is almost im
possible to prevent California business
being affected.
A new plan of getting rid of exces
sive commission payments by the
Western roads has been suggested. It

Is, pro posed that a separate bureau be
established In connection with the
Western Passenger association to take
charge of commissions, and that all
payments be made through it. Should
the suggestion be adopted it would at
once do away with the distrust which
has always existed among the roads

the matter. From this distrust nine

TO INCREASE ITS CAI'IT.VL.
Diilutli & Iron Ilanne Seek* Per
mission to Do It.
The Duluth & Iron Range railroad, with
headquarters at Duluth. has made applica
tion to the railroad and warehouse commis
sioners for permission to increase its capital
stock from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000. and a
hearing in the matter has been set for Mon
day, Nov. 2, at 2 p. m. Tho application S3
signed by President Jacob L. Greatsinger and
General Counsel J. H. Chandler, both of
whom wen- in St. Paul yesterday. It sets
forth that the road's authorized capital stock
is at present $3,<H)fl.oou, paid up In full, and
Issued and now outstanding; that the bonded
Indebtedness of the company consists of
$t; 332,000 of first mortgage bonds now out-
Btanding, and $5,000,000 of second mortgage
bonds, $4 5C0.000 of which are now outstand

now owns and operates IT.", miles of single
track of main line and branches, 11 miles
of double track, 7 miles of yard track and
sidings ai;d five ore dock:; aggrgeating 2,;>bß

is the transportation of iron ore, which busi
ness can be carried on only during the sea
son of navigation on Lake Superior, and that
mosi of this has to be carried on during
id. three months when there la but little
grain being transported.
It is explained that the. company has pro
[ected large nn.l extensive Improvements
which are necessary to properly meet the
demand for the transportation of ore. pas
sengers and com ic dities. The commission
Is therefore asked to grant permtssic# for
the mentioned Increase In capital stock. In
(.inclusion the application .states that the
funds thus obtained are to be used in the
purchase of additional equipment and con
struction of the Improvements mentioned.
Applications for increase of railroad capi
tal stock have been quite a rarity since
the existence of the railroad commission,
the last on", whi-h was made by the Du
luth <fe Winnipeg road, being deniid.
I'nsidcnt Greatsinger, being seen last night,
expressed the opinion that then- was lit;le
doubt that the commission would act favor
ably upon the Instrument filed with them by
bis company.
WILL ENTER CLOQI ET.
l)ul ii Hi, JiissiNNijij>i A Northern to
!»<• Extended.
It is reported that before long the Duluth,
Mississippi & Northern, locally known as the
Wright & Davis logging road, will enter
eioquet. The terminal points oi the road
now are Hibbing, on the Mesaba iron range,
and Swan river, where it joins the Duluth,
Superior & Western Although ostensibly built
for a logging road the Duluth, .Mississippi &
Northern was in reality intended for the
handling of ore. An extension of four miles
from the northern terminus will connect it
with the Missabe Southern, thus giving it
access to the principal mines on the range.
By paralleling the D., S. & \V. It would reach
Cloquet, from which point, by a mutually
advantageous arrangement with the St. Paul
k Duluth road. Duluth would be entered,
1 and abundant, docking facilities secured. By
this means the Duluth. Mississippi & Northern
would get an independent line from the mines
on the range to the point of shipment on
Lake Superior.
AUSTIN FIRM'S REQUEST
To Be Considered Ity the Railroad
Commission Todny.
Owing to the absence from the city of Pres
ident A.B.Stickney.of the Chicago Great West
ern road, the case of that company, which
I is before the railroad and warehouse eoinmis
i sion, as to whether it must pay the state
! 3 instead of 2 per cent upon its earnings, has
been put off. The case was set for ye.sterday,
but F. B. Kellogg. counsel for the road,
| called on the commissioners and asked that
! the matter be deferred until Mr. Stiekney'a
return.
This morning, at 10 o'clock, the commis
sioners will take up the case of George A.
llormel & Co., of Austin, who pray; the
commission to require the Northwestern,
Omaha and Milwaukee roads to issue joint
traffics on stuff shipped to and from their
territory in that section. This is the first
case of this sort which has yet come before
the commission, and considerable interest is
shown as to what precedent will be estab
lished. It is needless to add that the roads
interested will no doubt fight the proposition
I with no email amount of vigor.
The application of the people of Emmons
on the Minneapolis & St. Louis road, comes
up later in the week.
SHIPMENT OV CATTLE.
Business of the SeiiHon In Prnc
-1 tlcally Over.
Although there will probably be several
more trainloads of cattle shipped through
here from the West, the bulk of the business
for the year is over, and on the whole the
railroaders are content that it was no worse.
Owing to a variety of reasons the volume
of the traffic was not quite as good as last
year, the principal reason being that the
Montana stock did not fatten satisfactorily.
Although the Chicago market prices held
: fairly good, there was no inducement to ship
lean cattle, so many trainloads were shipped
from the piainst of Montana to the corn coun
try to fatten for another season. On Sunday
half a dozen trainloads of fat sitock passed
through her.\ and the coming week will prac
tically see the last of it. Feeders among
the sheep have been in the majority as well,
and it is estimated that at the yards and
pastures of the Twin City and South St. Paul
stock yards there are over 200, 0W seep being
filled up with good fodder for another year's
killing.

SALE A ROUTINE PROCEEDING.

Only One Bid Submitted When Spe
fiul .Muster Cornish Offered the
Property at Auction.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. I.— The interest
of the United States government in the
Union Pacific railroad terminated at
11:45 o'clock this morning, when, at the
foreclosure sale of the mortgage held
by the United States, the road was
purchased by the committee of Eastern
capitalists formed for its reorganiza
tion. The full amount accruing to the
United States from the sale cannot be
given exactly, but is estimated to be
$58,005,748.40. It was impossible to de
termine the full amount at the time of
sale for the reason that the monthly
statement made by the secretary of
the treasury to the management of the
Union Pacific on the first of every
month was not available today, and it
was found necess-ary to estimate some
items, although it is admitted by both
sides that the estimates are approxi
mately correct. The amount due to the
government is made up as follows:
Principal of debt, $27,236,512; interest
paid by the government up to Sept. 30,
1897, $30,830,886.37; interest accrued by
Sept. 30 and still unpaid, $286,147.60; in
terest accrued in October, $95,332.0 G.
Total due the government, $58,418,028.45.
Against this are the following credits:
<";:sh and bonds in sinking fund, $18,
--182,466.53. Estimated credits for the
week ended Sept. 30 and for the month
of October, including government earn
ings and th f ; interest on bonds in the
sinking fund, amount not yet credited,
J354.180.21. Total credit. $18,565,640.74.
Total debt of the railroad to the gov
ernment, $58,448,928.61. Total credit of
railroad with government, $18,565,646.74.
Balance and amount bid by reorganiza
tion committee, $39,883,281.87. The s'nk
ing fund bonds sold for $13,645,250.89.
Total bids by reorganization commit
tee, $53,528,532.76.
The amount earned by the road dur
ing the quarter ended Sept. 30 and dur
ing the month of October i.s estimated,
but is practically correct, and as the
government will simply retain the cash,
crediting the amount on the bids of the
committee, the amount to be turned
over as a consequence of the sale is
?f'5,065,745.J0.
After the sale was concluded. Gen.
Cowin, as the representative of the
government, was assured by the com
mittee that, if the amounts were not
accurately figured or should they dif
fer from the figures given above, what
ever may be lacking will be paid by
the committee and will in no way be
allowed to interfere with the confirma
tion of the sale. There was no op
position to the committee and no bids
were offered in opposition.
SALE UNINTERESTING
The sale of the road was In ils.-lf one
of the most uninteresting performances
possible to imagine. It was advertis
ed to take place in front of the Union
Pacific freight house at the junction of
Ninth and Jones streets at 11 o'clock,
and it was just one minute after that
time when Master in Chancery Cornish,
who was to act as auctioneer, took his
place on the low stone step in front
of the Ninth street entrance to begin
the sale. For over half an hour a
crowd had been gathering- to witness
the sale, and it was only with great
difficulty that Mr. Cornish was able to
get sufficient room to f-nable him to
work. He finally jammed himself back
into the corner of the doorway, with
one shoulder against the door arid the
other against the brick wall and pre
pared for business.
The crowd, which was not over 500
all told, was packed so closely around
the doorway and up in front of the
center of the building that the mem
bers of the reorganization committee,
the men who came out to buy the road]
were unable to see anything or hear
a word of what was going on. They
were compelled to stand back in the
hallway, from which -one of them
would occasionally poke out his head
just to see that all was well. Packed
into the hall, leaning against the ban
nisters, squatting upon the stairs or
standing wearily in the center of the
floor, were all the members of the com
mittee. Receiver Mink hied himself to
an upper window, out of which he
leaned to watch the proceedings below.
Those of the committee and connected
with it present were: Receivers J. V, T .
doane, Ellery Anderson, Gen.
Louis Fitzgerald, of the reorganization
committee, and Wlnslow S. Pierce, the
attorney of the reorganization commit
tee, and the wizard who solved the
scheme of reorganization; Alexander
Miller, of Boston, secretary and assis
tant comptroller of the company; Hon.
John Sheridan, of Maryland, a director
of the railroad; Gen. Solicitor Kelly,
and Gen. Cowin, the government rep
resentatives; Jacob Schiff, of Boston;
Marvin Hughitt, of Chicago; T. Jeffer
son Coolidge Jr., of Boston, and Law
rence Greer, his assistant.
Mr. Cornish carried under his arm
a large portfolio bound with the regu
lation red tape, and as soon as the
crowd gave him room to extend his
arms, he untied the strings and drew
fcrth a number of papers. Selecting
one of these and holding it out. he
said: "Gentlemen, I am here to sell
certain railroad properties in pursu
ance of a decree of the United States
circuit court. I will now read the de
scription of the property to be sold
and when I have finished the reading I
will be prepared to receive bids."
FORMAL PROCEEDING.
He then unfolded the notice of sale,
WOOBURY'S
Grand Toilet Combination for the Skin, Scalp,
Complexion and Teeth. Woodbury's Facial
Soap. Facial Cream, Facial Powder and ben
tal Cream are manufactured by a Dermatol
ogist with 26 years' experience treating th»
skin, scalp and complexion. For sale every
where 25c. each. A sample of each mailed
on receipt of 20c. JOHN H. WOODBU.RY.
Dermatologist, 127 West 42d St.. N. Y.
which was very long, being about four
columns of agate type.
"This notice is so long, gentlemen,"
said Mr. Cornish, "that I will not at
tempt to read it so that all of you can
hear it. I will endeavor to get through
it as rapidly as possible." He then
began the reading of the notice, and,
as he had said, did not read it so that
the many people could hear it. Hjs
voice grew weaker as he read, and
finally it became nothing but an un
intelligible mumble that was not dis
tinguishable three feet away.
Close to his left hand stood Law
rence Greer, with a copy of the no
tice in his hand, ana hs followed the
reading of the master in chancery very
closely. He was the only member of
the reorganization committee or those
connected with it who saw the pro
ceedings from first to last. From time
to time Attorney Pierce, who was in
the hall ji:st behind that portion of
the door in front of which the auc
tioneer was standing, looked out, and,
receiving a glance from Mr. Greer,
withdrew into the hall once more.
The reading of the notice took just an
even forty minutes, and, when it was
evident that Mr. Cornish was well
through the last column of the no
tice, Gen. Louis Fitzgerald, who was
to make the bid, pushed through the
door and stood closely to the side of
the reader. As he finished his read
ing, Mr. Cornish folded the paper and
placed it deliberately in his portfolio.
He then drew forth a small type-writ
ten document, and, without announc
ing its nature, began to read. It was
a protest from Managing Receiver
Trumbull, of the Union Pacific, Den
ver & Gulf road, against the sale with
the other Union Pacific properties of
the Cheyenne and Northern road and
the line that is claimed by both the
Denver & Gulf and the Union Pacific.
After reading this notice, Mr. Cor
nish placed it in the portfolio and said:
"I am now ready to receive bids for
the property of the description I have
just read.
There was a moment's silence, and
then Gen. Fitzgerald said: "I bid $39,
--883,281.87 in the name of Louis Fitz
gerald and A. W. Krech, purchasing
trustees."
There was another pause, and Mr.
Cornish said: -"Are there any more
bids?"
There was none, and the master con
tinued: "I will now receive bids .for
the sale of the l>onds of the descrip
tion of which I have read."
Gen. Fitzgerald— l bbitd t in behalf of
Louis Fitzgerald and A. W. Krech,
purchasing trustees, the sum of $13.
--645,250.89.
In both instances Gen. Fitzgerald
read his bid from a memorandum
which he held in his hands. Mr. Cor
nish opened his mouth to say: "Are
there any more bid^?" when a voice
from the crowd said: ('Wait a mo
liKii'.. Mr. Cornish. What, are the
amounts of those bids? 1 cannot hear
them." and <;<-n. John C. Cowin, the
government attorney) pushed his way
through the crowd with great diffi
culty. He Had been standing about
ten feet from Mr. Cornish and he had
been unable to hear the announce
ment of the bids, so low had been the
voice of Gen. Fitzgerald; as he made
them, and the voice of Mr. Cornish as
he repeated them.
STOPPED FOR A MOMENT.
The sale stopped for a moment as
Gen. Cowin struggled , through the
crowd to the side of Mr, Cornish. He
was shown the amount of the bids on
the memorandum held by Gen. Fitz
gerald and made a note of them. He
then turned away and Mr. Cornish
again opened his mouth to say: "Are
there any more bids?" and this time
he succeeded in getting them out.
There was not a sound and the mas
ter continued: "As there are no more
bids I declare the property of which
1 have just read the description sold
to Louis Fitzgerald and A. \V. Krech,
purchasing trustees, they having made
the highest bid and the only bid."
That was all there was to the en
tire sale and the members of the re
organization commit tee^and their at
torneys lost no time in getting back
to the offices of the Union Pacific
road for the wind blow hard and it
was cold out where the auction had
taken place.
Under the terms of sale, the purcnas
ers have ninety days in which to pay
over the full amount of tho purchase
ironey and that part of the transac
tion will be carried out in New York
in the near future. The government
ha* now the sinking fund of the road
and the amount of the guarantee
check put up by the reorganization
committee. This is just about 10 per
cent of the full purchase price of the
road.
The members of the committee had
nothing to say after the sale was over.
Attorney Win-slow said that it was
possible that the committee might
have a statement to issue later on, but
he was not certain whether it would
be issued or not. Regarding the fut
ure management of the road he had
nothing to say, but it is practically
certain that it will, for the time being,
be left in the hands of he present re
ceivers, who will run it as they have
been running it with the sole differ
ence that they will be responsible to
the reorganization committee instead
of to the government; when the com
mittee has perfected all of the ar
rangements it will relieve them The
future head of the road will be S. H.
H Clark the former president of the
road if his health will permit him to
take' the position. He had been ex
pected at the sale today, but was con
fined to his home in St. Louis, by ill
ness The sale today was under the
mortgage held on the property jby the
United States government. Tomor
row at the same time and in the same
plane as the sale of today was held,
another sale will be held under the
foreclosure of the trust deed securing
the construction bonds, which con
stitute the first lien on the road.

Yellow Fever Situation I* Expected
to Improve Rapidly.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. I.— From now on the |
number of yellow fever cases will gradually
decrease is the opinion of the board of health. ,
The anxiously awaited wjld wave arrived here
last night, and even colder weather i« hoped
for tomorrow. The local forecast officials have
predicted that frost will fall in the northern
portion of Louisiana tonight. The cold snap*
has had the effect of increasing the mortal
ity and also has caused the number of new . ,
cases to swell somewhat. If is generally be- t (
lieved however, that tomorrow will show a ,
decided improvement in the situation. The , ,
record of deaths today is as follows: ; ,
