TIE ArcuIsoy TRUST PROPOSAL.

The proposal to place the voting power Of the Atchi-
son stock in trust for ten years was not received with
much favor in Wall street. The first criticism heard
everywhere was the natural inquiry why the stock
holders should surrender the right when tile reorgan'
zation had been accomplished Secondary considera-
tons were the unusual length Of the proposed trustee
ship and the partisan character OF the proposed
trustoes II was said in effect, that the unexamped
success of the plan Of reorganization had aroused the
ambition of the FIRM which had conducted II and that
the new proposal sprang from desire for greater
power In other quarters it was suggested that the
motive was the fear that Jay Gould might secure
control Of the property unless the voting power was
pIaced in safe hands for term of years. 1t has been
rumored lreauently that Mr.. Gould buying
Achlson stock and the prediction that the road would
fail into the hands Of the Missouri Pacific has been
repeated so many times i'm the last SIX months that
evidently the Kdder Peabody 20 interests fear that
