3Kr. Hillings' Dispatch.
The Tacoma Ledger prints the
following telegram from the Presi
dent of the Northern Pacific
railroad company, to the Gen
eral superintendent. Gen. J. "W.
Sprague:
New York, March 31. I can
jiot keep track of all the statements
in the newspapers. There is no
mistaking the purpose of those
-who are tryinir to got control of
the Northern Pacific. It is to
arrest its construction west of
"VVallula, and make it tributary to
the Oregon Railway and Naviga
tion company. Fidelity to the
charter as well as to the interests
of the Pacific coast and the interest
of the company, all require the
road to go to Puget sound. Any
scheme to prevent its going there
J think will not succeed.
Fkedekick. Billing s President.
Hillings Answered.
Mr. Viilard, president of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation
company, sends the Oregonian,
under date of April st, the fol
lowing statement of the relations
between the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company and the
Northern Pacific. He says: "I
arn advised that you have published
a dispatch from President Billings
to General Sprague, stating, among
other things, that the object of
myself and friends in obtaining
control of the Northern Pacific, is
to stop its construction west of
"Wailula, in order to make it tribu
tary exclusively to the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company.
I pronounce this allegation un
qualifiedly false, and defy Presi
dent Billings to produce the evi
dence. Myself and friends own
and control over 30,000,000 of
Northern Pacific common and pre
ferred stock, representing an in
vestment of 10,000,000, which we
propose to make permanent. It is
absurd and ridiculous to assert
that wi should deliberately pro-
' ceed to make this investment un
productive by preventing the de
velopment of the Northern Pacific
enterprise within the proposed
limits. Our interests in the North
ern Pacific represent five times the
monev value of our holding of
Oregon Railway and Navigation
company stock. The Oregon Rail
way and Navigation company
itself does not own a single share
of Northern Pacific stock. You
may publish this over m' signa
ture. " H. Villakd.
The Dead Commander.
The liglit-liouse steamer Man
aanita, with the body of the late
Commander C. J. McDougal, ivho
was drowned off cape Mendocino
March 28th was detained at Hum
boldt by rough weather, but has
probably reached San Francisco
before this. The body will be trans
ferred to Mare island, where it will
be interred with appropriate cere
mouies. Details of the death of
Commander McDougal report that,
being at cape Mendiocino Sunday
night, Captain McDougal decided
to land on the following morning
i everything was favorable. At
half-past seven o'clock on Monday
morning the boat was lowered and
Captain McDougal, Captain Kortz,
Mr. Butler, of the Argonaut, and
six seamen started for the shore.
The boat carried a surf-line, which
-was anchored outside the outer
line of breakers. When between
the outer and inner line an extra
and unexpected sea swamped the
boat, throwing all the occupants
out. Five of them, who clung to
the boat, reached the shore in
safety. Captain McDougal, when
last seen, was within thirty yards
of the beach, where he went down
for the last time before aid from
the shore could reach him. Captain
Xortz, after being in the water
forty-five minutes, reached the
shore in an unconscious condition,
and was taken to the Ocean house,
where by prompt and skillful at
tention he was resuscitated. Mr.
Butler and Gus. Peterson, a bailor,
were seen but once after the boat
swamped. Their bodies had not
been recovered at last accounts.
