missioner in State of Slesc
Special to The St. Paul Globe.
PIERRE. S. D., Feb. 10.— In the Lee-
Kipp squabble over the insurance com
missionership a formal demand was
; made personally on Commissioner Kipp
I this afternoon to turn over the otlice,
i which demand was refused. The gover
j nor will go into the supreme court to-
I morrow morning on a test ease of his
power of removal of the commissioner
! without notice of such action on his
! part.
The situation for a part of today
was rather amusing, as the governor,
: Ayers, his new appointee, their attor
i neys and the chief of police held down
J the governor's office, while the Insur
' ar.ee commissioner, his deputy, their
! attorneys and a deputy sheriff held the
: insurance office. The legal fight, which
! begins tomorrow, promises to be a
i long-drawn out one. as both sides are
determined and will carry the matter
to the last ditch before acknowledging
defeat.
The general trend of legal opinion
here is that the commissioner has the
best position in the legal tangle. The
party press over the state is yet hold
ing aloof from any part in the struggle.
While their action would have no bear
ing on the case, the political situation
is likely to be very much affected
thereby.

Tho Northirestern Consolidation bnt
One Step in n Greal Plan of
Railway Unification, Witb ihe
Continent an tbe Scope oi" the
Ultimate End in View.
CHICAGO. Feb. 10.— The Post says:
A consolidation of the different com
panies which go to make up the Chi
cago & Northwestern system h;-s '>• en
definitely decided 'ipon. Chief of the
roads are the Chicago .si Northwestern,
the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val
ley, the Chien go. St. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha and Sioux City <£.- Pacific,
Together those lines embrace 7,9157
miles of road. For years they have
been operated in the closest harmony.
Tiie connection between them has been
a!m< st as close as if consolidation had
actually taken place. The actions of
all have been directed by one head. -
Marvin Hughitt is president of a!! the
companies. It is now proposed, how
ever, for financial reasons, to consoli
date nil Into one company and make
one set of securities answer for a!!. •
In carrying out the plan there will i
be an exchange of the present securi- i
ties of the smaller companies for those
of the Northwestern, a large increase
of which will l>e issu* d to meet th • re-
Utiiremi nts of tie- deal. The exchange
v.ill be liberal enough to prevent any
i pposition to the plan on the part of
the holders of securities of the smaller
properties. Their ;>. s::i.>n will be con
siderably benefited by the exchange.
Details Unsettled.
It has not yet been fully determined
whether ihe consolidation will be c.ir
ii. 'I out under a general plan or pi< co
rneal. Under any general plan that
might bo adopted it is feared that
jealousy might be arou-ed between th 1 .
holders of securities for the diff rent
companies. All such misunderstanding
might, it is thought, lie avoided by
taking up the consolidation of the com
panies separately and treating each
one on its merits.
Should this plan be adopted the work
of consolidation will begin witli tlie
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha.
When the consolidation of all th.?
roads in the present Northwestern
system has been completed, the plan
now under consideration will have by
no means been consummated. Th< sio
consolidations wiil be but the solidify
ing of one link in a great chain ex
tended over the entire continent from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Once these consolidations are out of
the way, the field wili. it is believed,
be clear for tho further consolidation
of the Northwestern and Union Pacific
systems. The two roads are today
practically one. All affairs relating to
through business are so arranged as
to guard the interests and suit the con
venience of each, and the final consoli
dation of the two roads will ln reality
be more a matter of detail than the
introduction of any radical change in
the relationship which now exists be
tween them.
When they become one in name as
they are now in action, the completion
of the Western end of the chain al
ready alluded to. will have taken place,
and nothing will remain but to weld lt
to the Eastern end, which has already
been formed by the unification of the
New York Central and the Lake Shore.
The Vanderbilt main line will then
extend from New York to San Fran
cisco.
It may be that by that time abso
lute ownership of the Central Pacific
will have been secured. Whether it is
or not the present rights of the Union
Pacific over that line are inalienably
secured.

THB PITTSBURG FIRE
TiTcnly-Seven People Arc Missing
and May Be Burled Under the
Willi* uf the Wareho__e Thut
Wn.s Destroyed l*roi>erty Lum
Of Over n Million Dollars.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. 10.— Eleven
people dead, twenty-seven missing and
eighteen injured, and a property los 3
of $1,500,000. with about $1,000,000 in
surance, ls the awful record of the big
fire of last night.
Following is a revised list of the
dead :
POLICE LIEUTENANT A. J. BERRY.
JOHN M'HANNA.
WILLIAM 9COTT JR.
STANLEY STITZ.
JOHN DWYER.
GEORGE LOVELESS.
WILLIAM SMITH.
ALBERT A. WOLF.
THOMAS CLAFFEY.
WILLIAM WALLEEHABENSTEIN.
AN UNKNOWN, supposed to bs John
Scott, the youngest son of the president of
the Chautauqua Ice company.
Many Missing-.
The missing are: George Newman, Are
Inspector of Philadelphia Gas company;
William Doran. William Finch, Edwaid
Donnelly, Chris Schriver, Jame3 P. Mor
rison, Prof. James Moxan, organist Evan
gelical Lutheran church, Brushton, Pa.;
D. B. Wreckerly, Jolin Gerry.
George McDonald, Jack Farrell, Sam
uel McLaughlin. Jacob Booth and a
party of four companions who were ln
a saloon on Pennsylvania avenue when
then wall crushed the building, are
missing and supposed to be under the
debris. Mrs. Mary McFadden, with her
family of eight children are also sup
posed to be under the fallen wall. They
lived in a house on Mulberry alley,
whic-i was crushed. Nothing has been
seen of them since the explosion last
night and it is believed all are dead.
All day long firemen, policemen and
other city employes have been working,
at the risk of their lives, but up to
nightfall but little progress had been
made in the clearing away of the
debis. The work will be continued
without cessation until it is known no
bodies remain buried.
Blackened Wiillm.
Blackened walls tower from the
midst of the heaps of smouldering rub
bish, threatening to topple over at any
minute. Twenty streams are constant
ly playing on the still burning ruins.
A heavy pall of smoke overhangs the
desolate scene, and the tired police
men have hard work to keep the thou
sands of curious onlookers from get
ting within the rope cordon. Many tf
the people who fled panic-stricken
from ther homes last night are pluck
ing courage enough to return to the
houses not Jeopardized by the fire
weakened walls.
Mayor Ford, this afternoon, realizing
that some of the worst features of tho
calamity are yet to come, so far as the
dead and heads of families are con
cerned, and that many will be In need
of prompt aid, issued a public letter
suggesting subscriptions from the citi
zens for a distribution among the needy
victims.
Hea-ry Loss.
There is no reason to change last
night's estimate of the aggregate loss
to property. It is difficult to get fig
ures, but insurance experts say that
it will be at least $1, .00,000 and may
be more.
Some of the individual losses known
nre: W. A. Hoeveler & Co., loss on
building, £75,000. with 564.000 insurance,
loss to the 1,600 customers who had
goods stored in the building, $500,000.
About 20 per cent of the latter had no
insurance. The Chautauqua Ice com
pany, owners of the building occupied
by themselves and the Union Storage
company, loss. $275,000 on buildings,
wagons, ice making machinery, etc.
The Union Storage company will lose
nothing beyond interruption to busi
ness, but the loss to their customers
ls unofficially placed at $350,000.
Losses to others outside of the large
concerns mentioned, will foot up $300,
--000.
The total Insurance ls variously esti
mated from $800,000 to $1,250,000. A
