The result is the McLeod party is in a position to-dav to buy lack all the Reading they should, and more, the stock is worth intrinsically il'J per share more than ever before.

Its property and holdings are among the best in the country. The conspiracy against Readings finances will be checkmated by the receivers in the interests of the company.

20. W. N. Roach, democrat, of Grand Forks, was elected Vnited States senator on the sixty-first joint Iwllot to-day. On the first ballot of to-day the demm-rats scattered their votes between Walsh and Judge Wallen, with the minority republicans and populists going to Wallen.

Miller received but thirty-live votes on this liallot the balance being divided between Waish, 'Wallen. Benton, Limb and Muir. On the second ballot the democrats took up Roach, the regular caucus, nomineeas per programme, and all the democrats and populists went to him. There being three members absent, it required but forty-five votes to elect. Wineman Sorely, Pierce and Hau-geu, all republicans of the Walsh following, then changed their votes to Roach, followed by Lamoure, Cochrane and others.

The Walsh contingent offers as an excuse for electing a democrat that the Miller follow ing had promised that after the first bailot today, if Miller was not elected, they would go to Walsh. The greatest excitement prevailed on the part of the democrats at the course of the Walsh contingent and they fairly shook the roof of the capitol building with their shouts and cheers. The Cass county delegation, for the first time since the beginning of the fights was united on this ballot, with the exception one vote, that of McAithur. Senator Jaimiuve having been elected on a ticket indorsed by democrats, republicans and populists, felt that he had a right to vote any man brought forward. Roach, Oliver and others changed their votes to Casey, stating that he was really the only republican entitled to be voted for by the republicans, having received the regular caucus nomination as such.

Promises to Satisfy All. At 1 after the clerk had read the proceedings of the joint session declaring W. N. Roach elected nited htates senator from North Dakota, Roach was escorted to the sjieaker's desk. He said that he occupied the unique and strange position of having been elected to the United States senate as the nominee of the minority party.

His election was something unlooked for. He said no pledges had been asked or made, that he and his friends had only taken advantage of the disorganized condition of the majority, which was fair in politics. Therefore, occupying the position which he did. he wished to say that his rienils of the majority would receive- substantial and grateful recognition, so far as it lay in his jiower, aud to the brethren of the democratic faith he would wear their memory ever near his heart, W. X.

Roach was raised in Washington rtty and has been a resident of Dakota for the past dozen years, coming to Grand Forks county. He was born in Loudon county, Virginia, and is now forty-five years of age. He has a family of four children and is now a dower. Ho has stood for his party as its cau iidate for governor on two different oc-eusi jas, being defeated the first time by John and on the second occasion by A. H.

Burke. He is a large wheat grower and being engaged in this occupation he was naturally expected to draw farmers' votes from the indpendent ranks. POPULISTS CLAIMING VICTORY. Governor Lewellen Says Republican Plans Were Thwarted. Topeka, Feb.

20. Governor Lewell-ing this afternoon gave to the associated press a statement in regard to the late unpleasantness. It is in an editoriaifor use in this week's issue of the populist papers. It is approved by the governor, but he does not wish it classed as an official utterance. He says the republicans boast of having carried the fight.

The fact is the populists have never lost sight of the central idea in the contest, the preservation of the populist house. It was to destroy this house that the republicans made a fight and failed. Had they succeeded it would have thwarted all reform legislation. They know the laws passed by it are valid and that to declare otherwise the supreme court would have to revise all respected precedents at partisan demand and face a wave of public indignation unparalleled since the notorious Judge Tresciliean was followed to the scaffold by an outraged eople who exulted at his just but shix'king execution. Corporate greed is determined to prevent the enactment of reform measures by the populists.

The governor then goes on to enumerate acts of the republican house intended to extinguish the house of the populists, begining with the attempted arrest of its chief clerk and to be followed by the arrest of enough lHjpulist members to break a quorum. This, he adds, did not succeed, and though the republicans succeded In the compromise in driving the populists from the hall, their organization is still intact. Even this was ouly brought about by the disloynlity of the state militia and the county sheriff. He declares the militia has been recruited and doctored to this end for two years, unmasking republican treason, perjury and lawlesssness. The populist house met this afternoon at .1 o'clock in the south basement corridor of the house building.

Carpenters were at work yesterday and this morning fixing up he corridor. An imposing stand was made for speaker Dunsniore out of pine lumber and a low platform was made for the clerks of the house. No provision was made for reporters. The desks of the iiiemberj are merely high benches of pine and are twenty inches wide. Each desk will be used by three members and they are arranged in two rows, with an isle between.

Sergeant-at-Anns Dick made no attempt to secure the state desks, fearing there would, be trouble. The republicans in caucus tonight decided to elect another senator this week. The cause of this action is assurance from national demix-ratic leader that if the republicans will elect the a stalwart- democrat he will be seated over John W. Martin. The choice of the republicans is Bailey P.

Wag-gener, who is here looking after his interests. The republicans cla im to have positive assurances that AVaggener will be seated if elected. No Cigarettes. Little Rock, Feb. 20.

Springfield, Feb. 20. It was an nounced tonight that Attorney -General Miv-louey will tomorrow present a report to the senate on state treasurers anil auditors, iu answer to the resolution adopted a couple of weeks ago. It will hold that under the statutes the state treasurers violated the laws when they permitted any portion of the state funds to lie taken from the vaults. The report will not assume to declare whether- or not the state treasurers have teen in the hahit of limning money at interest and appropriating to their own the accre tions on public funds, but it will noia that if such has been the custom it was a violation of law and the ex-oilicials are liable to prosecution.

The position will also be taken that although the act of loaning may have been a violation of law. the interest no less becomes the property of the state. There is a report that the attorney-general will insinuate to the legislature that the resolutions thus far adopted have not conferred upon him sufficient power or means of making an investigation, and several gentlo-menare seriously considering the advisability of stimulating the attorney-general to action by the presentation of resolutions which will secure for him the necessary evidence upon which to base prosecutions! Representative Fowler, of Hardin, has tonight preiared a resolution which he will introduce tomorrow, if it lieeomes apparent the attorney-general is hesitating to obey the orders of Acting Governor Gill.

Terue Haute, 2J. The Panama congressional investigating committee arrived this morning and began taking the evidence of Ex-Secretary of the avy Thompson iu private. The ex-secretary first detailed the circumstances of his resignation, saying it was publicly done and that he met no opposition from President Hayes. The first offerof the American chairmanship of the Panama committee was made to him by Jeese W. Selig-ham and was not accepted until after a full conference with his friends and the president, and the determination on his part that there was nothing in it inimical to the interests of the United States.

He denied that the Hayes ahmnistratioii was opposed to the canal, but wanted it under American control. He had an idea when he' accepted the chairmanship of Americanizing the affair and even proposed to De Lesseps at one time fo get an American construction company to build it. The entire administration, so far as he knew, of the affairs of the American committee was on the strictest business principle. He did not know what were the duties of the three banking houses whose representatives were members with him of the American committee, and he was as much surprised as the committee when he learned that the three had been getting each a year, or twice his own salary, for their sei -vices in this country. Colonel Thompson denied that the Panama Canal company had a lobby at Washington, either to procure favorable legislation for the Panama canal or to light the Nicaragua people, and he said he kept clear of lobbyists and that there was no improper expenditure of money so far as he was aware.

Colonel Thompson said that when the Nicaragua treaty was before the senate all he did was to write a pamphlet against it, which lie placed in the hands of all senators. Senator Yoorhees only knew that he wrote it. He did not sign his name to it because he id not want the Panama canal antagonized, so he had it appear anoiiVr mously. The Semite defeated the treaty. The coinmitti-e brought with it a letter press copy of all the correspondence lietween Thompson and -De Lessejis.

and the witness was asked to explain a number of letters. One of them from Thompson to De Lesseis in February. lsKi, said: It is difficult to convey to you a full understanding of how we have conducted this contest, and we must lie very cautious." Congressman Storer of Ohio read from a letter in which Colonel Thompson told De Lesseps that he believed a large expenditure of money for materials in this country would help popularize the canal, which belief he emphasized today. In another letter be referred to the "overcoming This he said, meant such difficulties, as the Nicaragua people were responsible for. but that nothing but legitimate means were used in doing so.

He denied that any money had been spent with his knowledge to iiifluem-e the newspapers. Strongly Endorwd. Tlie advertising of.

Boston, Feb. -go. An interesting story is given out by the Roston news bureau as the true history of the Reading affair. It seems that after hai les O. Parsons developed the network of roaiLs in "orthern New York into the Rome, AVatertown iSc ilgdenshurg system.

J. I'ierpont Morgan went before the dirts-tors" meting of the Xew York Central and asked them if they were aware that at a little cost the new system could parallel the New York Central and connect with the at Albany. They were startled and bought Parsons' system to keep it from a possible connection ith the 'ew England. A few months later Parsons appeared iu the New York New England. Morgan went to the New York, New Haven Hartford eopl and told them to pinch Parsons all they could aud not allow him to build np a hue as he did against the New York Central.

The pinching policy as inaugurated forthwith, but suddenly McLeod of the Reading appeared on the field aud announced that he had purchased control of the New York New England in the interest of his company. Parsons and almost everyone el-e refused to luiieve this, but Morgan was convim-od ami asked McLeod to turn the control over to him. McLeod refused and preparations for war were imuieJiiitJy begun on both sides.

HER FATHER A BEITISH SUBJECT Neumann Falls to Fill an Fjisagement With Secretary Fostor Gorman's Appeal for Economy to the Senate. Washington, Feb. 20. The following is the substance of a statement made tonight by Mis Thurston, of the Hawaiian commission: ''Miss C'leghorn, heretofore known as Princess Kaiulani, purported to have addressed anote to the American people, which has been published in the papers. 1 ue note in question sets forth that at the request of Mr.

Thurston, theu Hawaiian minister, 1 was sent away to England to be educated privately and fitted for the position which by the constitution of Hawaii I was to The only criticism that I desire to make upon this statement is that First. I did not at any time, either directly or indirectly, request that the lady in question be sent to England or anywhere to lie educated, or for any other purpose. Second. Neither as cabinet minister, nor in any other official capacity, nor individually, have I ever had anything to do with the young lady's education or movements. Third.

The lady went to England about 1889. At that time she was not heir to the throne and had no standing under the constitution of Hawaii. Kalakaua was then king, and the ex-queen, Liliuokalani, his sister, was by law the heir. By Kalakaua's death she came to the throne iu February 1891. She then had the power to nominate her successor, subject to the ratification of the house of nobles, which was done alwut March 1.

1S91. This was the earliest date at which Kiauliui had any standing under the constitution as heir to the throne. Under Control of Britons. As a matter of fact, the young lady's father is a British subject, her guardian, T. R.

Walker, is the British consul at Honolulu, and his business partner, Mr. T. H. Da vies, is her business agent, and has control of her in England. The young lady was sent to England by her father against a strong feeling in Honolulu that it.

would be best that she be educated in the United States. As to the intimation that 'Mr. Thurston is now in Washington, trying to take away my flag and regardless of the fact that the only way in which she can come to the throne is bv usurping the position and disposessing her aunt, I would say that -Mr, Thurston' aud his feliow commissioner's are acting only as the mouthpieces of thousands of their fellow-citizens, who have been reluctantly forced to their present action in self-protection. Until very recently there have been no more radical opponents of annexation in the islands than the Hawaiian born children of the American residents there. They took an in terest and pride in the country beyond that of the natives themselves, and it is only the inexorable logic of events which has forced them to the action now taken." Neumann not Hurting: Ilimelf.

It is expected that the Hawaiian annexation treaty, which was favorably reported to the senate by the unanimous vote of the committee on foreign relations, except that of Mr. Gray, will be considered at an executive session of the senate to be held tomorrow. When Paul Neumaun, the queen's envoy, called at the state department on Friday he was informed that Secretary Foster would see him immediately upon his return from Watertown to-day. Mr. Foster expected to reach the city in the afternoon, but was detained by late trains until after 6 o'clock.

He had fixed the hour for for the appointment with Mr. Neumann before leaving last Thursday morning at -7 o'clock to-night, but Mr. Neumann failed to apjiear. although the secretary waited an hour for him, and, fearing that he might have mis taken the time, or possibly have been misinformed, ho sent his secretary to the hotel to notify Mr. Neumann that he was waiting to receive him.

But Mr. Neumann was not at his hotel, so the interview was not held. Mr. L. A.

Thurston and his associates, the sjiecial commissioners from Hawaii, and Mr. faul the envoy ot vucen Liliou-kalani, spent a part of the day at the cnpitol Mr. Neumann was in conference with several senators, to whom he bears letters of introduction from business men on the islands, aud others whom he knew iierson- ally before leaving the United States several years ago. Mr. Marsdoil one of the annexation com missioners, left for New YTork city on his wav to San Francisco, whence he will sail for Honolulu on March 3.

GORMAN A Warns the Senators That We are on the Borders of financial Ruin Washington, Feb. 20. Senator Gorman, in some remarks which he marie in the sen ate today in opposition to appropriations to public buildings, spoke of the serious and alarming condition which confronted the county-, and expressed the belief that only the borders of the trouble have been touched, and that extraordinary action would have to be taken by the treasury department, or else congress would have to reassemble next July to meet the condition. His warning did not prevent the senate from agreeing to all the amendments offered making appropriations for increasine the limit of cost of ipubln buildings. The only yea and nay vote taken showeJ that all the republican senators except Sherman were in the affirmative and all the democratic senators except est in the negative.

The house bill to limit the jurisdiction of district and circuit courts of the United States was reported back adversely.

During the consideration of the sundry civU bUL among other things, Wolcott moved to reduce the amount for topographic surveys from to $100,000, and advocated the adoption of an amendment giving what he called the "peculiar history of geological surveys." anyone examined a geological map of the United States he would find the topographical surveys were distributed politically and not geographically.

The survey "had already expended over seven million dollars, and at the rate the work was carried on it would take thirty-eight years to complete the topography alone, and as to the geological part of the work, no man could figure out its completion within a century nor its cost within auything like a hundred million dollars. After a long discussion Wolcott amendment was rejected. Allison offered an amendment, which was agreed to, for i5.0O0 for the completion of the public building at Sioux Falls. Executive session.
