Southern Pacific May Join the Union Pa.
a. and N0rthw~sf%rn.
CHICAGO. Oct 25.-The Tribune this
morning says: The gentlemen who con.
troll the management of the Atchison. To-
peka d Santa Fe, Magown and Barring.
who have just returned from trip TO Eu-
rope. fld that their policy is In danger Of
miscarrying and that the Vanderbilt COM
bination has been gaming ground. The
great objective point toward which both
parties have been steering was the control
of the Southern Pacific system. Each
party has been Iaboring for several months
to induce the Southern Pacific magnate,
Huntington. to take sides. Huntington
has been wavering. and the Vanderbilt pec-
pie are nov said to be Negotiating with Mr..
Stanford and other large holders OF South
ern Pacific stocks to secure possession OF
their hold ngs. with fair chances Of sue
cess. Huntington admits tina, If the Van-
derbilts and Drexei. Morgan q Co. syndi-
cate secure this stock they will be able to
control the Southern Pacific,
such result would place the North
western Union Pacific continuation in
position to DEFY all competition. That the
Santa Fe magnates have become alarmed
is evinced by the fact that they have
hastily called meeting of the board Of
directors, aid that the president has gone
to Boston TO participate In the proceed,ngS.
1t Is not unlikely that the policy of the
company will be changed. and that the
Santa Fe syndicate will decide TO join the
Vanderbilt combination as q matter OF
selt-preservatlon, and this Is no doubt the
object the latter is trying to gain.
BosroH. Oct. 2a-At the meeting Of the
Aicnison directors Friday the proposed
acquisition of the Colorado Midland rail-
way was fully considered and approved,
and the contract of-purchase agreed 70.
As the basis OF agreement. Colorado Mid

They think if they can kill the

But it will not. The low. igno-

The people upon whom the orig

rests, are the leaders of the Demo

who make the laws that furnish

August, near that negroes home,
