Alii: s THAT THE GREAT MESTEKN THRIVES OS BOYCOTTS BRITISH CAPITAL ANXIOUS A Cablegram That In Intended to Allaj Tlielr Fears Sent Across the Pond——Directors Mie-et and Declare a Seml-Annnal Dividend on Preferred A Stock Interent Ordered Pnid im> Debenture Stock. Everybody about the offices of the Chicago Great Western looked happy yesterday. Even the office boys smiled in a way that was perfectly reckless, and the uninitiated never would have imagined that a boycott Intended to wreck the railway had been declared against the road. The only persons connected with the company who have manifested any concern over the Santa Fe and Rock Island combination are seme stockholders in London, to whose British minds it appears a serious mat ter. So grave does the situation ap pear to them that yesterday morning the London agents of the Chicago Great Western sent to President Stickney the following cablegram: Reported here that Atohlson. Topeka & Santa Fe and Rock Island have given notice I to boycott against Ctoicago Great Western railway. Is it true; and what will it amount to? Upon receiving the cablegram Pres ident Stickney called his stenographer and dictated the following reply: Their last boycott incroased the westbound business to Kansas City of the Chicago Great Western railway from less than 4 to over 10 per cint. Too early to say how profitable the present boycott will be. He then sent the dispatch to Lon don. It evidently hatl a pacific effect, foi the Londoners had not been heard from again up to the close of olllce hours. "The Chicago Great Western thrives on boycotts," said President Stickney. "We are devising schemes to spend our profits on this one." The official notification from the Rock Island was not received until yester day morning:, and, as it had been an ticipated, it did not dampen the spirits Of the officials. "A boycott," said an officer of the company, "excites sympathy, and the victim is certain to get more business from the public than it had before." There was a rumor abroad yesterday that the Missouri Pacific would be the next to declare war upon the Chicago Great Western, and that other Chicago- Kansas City lines would sever relations with little delay. On the other hand, there was a belief in railway circles that the trouble would be adjusted be fore Dec. 15 and the boycott would be declared off. City Ticket Agent Elmer returned from Chicago yesterday. He declared he did not go there specially to see about the boycott, but he said that the subject was generally discussed by railroad men in that city and that the c< r-sensus of opinion was that the Santa Fe had acted very foolishly and would repent either before or after put ting the boycott into effect. General Freight Agent Stohr is still in Chicago, where he went to look over the battlefield and to make ar rangements to meet the boycotters on their own ground. If he is unable to make an amicable settlement of the difficulties, he will see what other ar rangements he can make to carry the read's Southern California business. Tin' hoard of directors met yesterday, but did not discuss the boycott. They declared a semi-annual dividend of $2 per share on the preferred A stock out of the net earnings for the half-year ending Dec. 31, payable Jan. 31, 1890, and ordered that the surplus earnings applicable for dividends on that stock should be carried forward and held available for the next semi-annual dividend. The transfer books for that st< ck will be closed Dec. 27 to Jan. 1. Tho board also declared the thir teenth semi-annual payment of $2 per share interest or guaranteed dividend on the 4 per cent debenture stock of the company, which will be paid Jan. 15, 1899, to holders of record on Dec. 31. The transfer books will be closed from -Dec. 21 to Jan. 1. TALK WITH PRESIDENT HILL. The (ireat Northern Will llullil Xo More Brimi'liea at Present. Thf Taooma Ledger of recent date published the following Interview with President .Limes J. 11111, of the Great Northern Railway com pany, which he granted to a reporter In Spokane: "Do you propose building any branch lines or feeders in the slate in the near future?" asked the reporter. "No; we have all the railroads we want for the present. W> are neither tml! !Ini< nor buying railway lints. We have enough to do with the lini>s we have.

"We have no intention of running a lino to Republic. Some time, perhaps, we will build that line, but It may not be for ten years yet. The road must be paying much more money than it is now before we project new lines.

Then, re turning to Si oka.no, we wiU go. East. "The report that I was to jneet President Mohler, of the Oregon Railway & Navigation here Is not true.

Some good stories have a grain of truth at the bottom of them, but this has not that. It is talse entirely! The assumption that myself and friends have sold Northern Pacific stock with the Inten tion of breaking the market is false. 1 do not know the name of a man who has sod Northern Pacific stock, ar.d the report" in Now York that I am buying Union Pacific stock is as false as the other. Neither myself personally nor the Great Northern as a cor poration Is buying Union Pacific The Great Northern corporation is not buying stock of any railroad." SOME RATKS AWRY. Northern Committee Will Make au Effort to Rendjunt Them. The Northern committee will meet tomor row at the office of Chairman Houkins in Minneapolis to consider several matters of Importance to this section. The rates on linFeed oil from St. Paul to Missouri river points are in an unsatisfactory shape, and an effort will be made to readjust them. The committee will also discuss di visions on lumber and shingles from North Pacific coast points to Western Trunk Line territory. ' The Great Northern has given notice of withdrawal from the joint agency at Soufh St. Paul, and that matter will be taken up and an attempt will be made to induce the road to reconsider its decision. RATES ON FLOUR Said to Be In Bad Shape and Likely to Remain So. Flour rates are still in bad shape and are likely to remain in their present condition for some time. The Chicago Great Western, the Omaha and the Milwaukee are carrying the bulk of the business now that the lakes are practically closed and they have got the rates down to rock bottom. The all rail rate from Minneapolis to New York is l!)V a cents on domestic flour and 18 cents on export flour It is also IS cents to Baltimore. The Chicago Great Western on Monday car ried 122 carloads of flour for New York and on Tuesday eighty-five carloads. There are several vessels loading with fiour at Duluth, but there.is no certainty that they will get through. These will b.e the last lake shipments this season. N. P. EARNINGS.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 7.—To day is the anniversary of the death of Gen. Antonio Maceo, and has been cel ebrated among the Cubans in Santia go. A memorial service was held this morning in the cathedral, which was crowded. Less than two years ago the game cathedral witnessed "Te Deum" eung by the same choir in celebration of Maceo's death. Then the cathedral was draped with Spanish colors. Today the entire edifice was in black, inter spersed with a few Cuban emblems. Considerable annoyance was occa sioned to the United States authorities by the fact that some twenty-five men, Cubans, marched the entire length of St. Thomas street, armed with rifles and machetes, although all Cubans are well aware that such conduct is strict ly against the regulations, armed bodies, other than United States troops, not being allowed. The pa raders in question did not ask permis sion to march armed, and their inten tion was not made known to the Amer ican authorities, in fact, the cathe dral had been reached by the armed marchers before the fact was made known to the headquarters. Col. Beacom, who is in command during the absence of Gen. Wood, im mediately called upon the mayor in re gard to the occurence, and was by him referred to Cjl. Garcia, who sent an orderly requiring the reporting of the offenders at headquarters. Mean while, the armed squad had fired three volleys, many of them u^ing ball car tridges, whose bullets, striking the up per portions of the cathedral, caused the bell ringers to flee from their posts. An American in the Fifth immune regiment s«on arrived at headciuartera with a message from Col. Sargoa, stat ing several bullets had .struck his tent at different points, and asking for in formation. Col. Garcia said he was under the impression that the men used blank cartridges, and that the United States authorities had been no tified of the intention Of a number to niarch armed in connection with the celebration. Col. Beaeom replied that he kn.-w nothing of It, and that the Cubans had evidently done their best to conceal their purpose. He then ordered Col. Garcia not to allow his men to attend j the evening procession armed, and said he would permit the continuation of the morning celebration* only on the distinct understanding that there was to be no more firing. The sole reason that the offenders were not ar rested waa that they were in cathedral limits at the time. GEN. HENRYS ACTIVITY. Hew Military tiovernor ot I'ortoi Hlt-o Doiun Good Worli.
