York special says: A story is current
in Boston to the effect that the Hopkins
Searles and Crocker interests in the
Central Pacific, the Atchison people and
Missouri Pacific and the Union Pacific

UNION PACIFIC SETTLEMENT.
New York, August 13.-Another con-
ference of directors and others inter-
ested in Union Pacific matters was held
today, and it is stated matters are pro-
crossing toward favorable conclusion,
and that a formal announcement of
settlement of the company's trouble
will soon be made. One of the parties
to the conference said that ten or twelve
million dollars will be all that is neces-
sary to put the company in an easy
position, and that although some of this
is actually subscribed, the greater part
is promised, and all that remained was
to sign papers and arrange various de-
tails.
A prominent German banker is given
as authority for the statement that
Pierrepont Morgan would have an inter-
est amounting to $5,000,000 in the new
contract, and that although not in shape
for formal announcement, the matter is
virtually settled.
A NEW DIRECTOR.
At meeting of the Union Pacific di
rectors new member of the executive
committee was elected to take the place
of Fred l.. Ames, who is now in Europe.
The officials decline to make the mem
ber public, but it is stated by others
that it is E. L. Atkins, who was promi-
nent in recent negotiations in connection
with George J. Gould.

RUSSIAN RYE.
The Ukase Preventing Its Export Move

The Ukase Preventing Its Export a Move
Against Germany.
LONDON, August 13.-The Times cor
respondent at st. Petersburg says that
in certain well-informed circles it is
maintained that the harvests are in no
way as bad as pretended. The rye crop
is not small enough to warrant the pro-
hibition. The ukase is rather consid-
cred q political move against Germany
and Austria.
GERMANY SATISFIED.
BERLIN, August 13.-It was at first be-
ieved that the Russian ukase was di-
rected against Germany, but the gov
ernment now appears to be convinced
that it was prompted by economic mo-
tives. German imports of rye in the last
decade amounted to only about a
sixth of her own produce, but the
failure of the German crop this year
makes the situation more serious.
The latest statistics, however, leave
ground for hope that the harvest will be
better than expected. Reports of rise
in the price of rye in Poland caused a
further rise of one mark here today, but
toward the close the price receded two
marks. Wheat advanced 80 marks on
unfavorable reports from New York.
RELIEF MEASURES PUSHED.
ST.. PETERSBURG, August 13.-Reliei
measures for the distressed provinces
are being rapidly pushed. Committees
are advancing money to small farmers
to provide food, and transportation rates
have already been reduced.

" DICKS" CONVERSION.
RaOul MandIebaum Wants to Be-
gin Life Anew.

The offices of F. Mandlebaum 81 Sons at
Suffer street were still closed to all
inquirers yesterday, though the neighboring
tenants Ia the building were ready to MAIN
tain that they were not wholly unoecupied.
Neither could the confidential legal adviser
of the firm be located during the day, and
the supposition that he is still closeted with
Dicks" trusting relations, endeavoring to
straighten out their financial tangles, could
neither be confirmed nor denied.
1t was learned during the day from re-
liable sources that Ra0ul j., to outward APP
praranceS at least, in a contrite mood, and
expresses a desire for chance to redeem
himself. The only stumbling block in his
way is his frail companion, for whom, of
course, the relatives of the young man have
little sympathy, while he, on the other hand.
Is entirely wrapped up in her. Could some
arrangement be made To permanently sepa-
rate the couple, Raoui would be put upon
claims to covet. What his decision is on this
point is not yet known, but certain it is that
friends of the family are endeavoring to
pave the way for his return TO grace by buy
ing up the personal claims against him, and
thus relieve him of the embarrassment
which host of hungry creditors would be
apt to entail.
Tending the all around negotiations, the
relatives are exercising due economy IN their
attempts TO square his tradesmen's bills.
They evidently discount Dicks" good ill.,
tentlons by half, and are only willing to in
vest 10 that extent in his conversion. None
OF the trusting creditors would admit having
compromised at this figure yesterday.

There was small wreck on the Berkeley
branch railroad yesterday morning that
caused considerable trouble. The local train
that left Berkeley at 6:25 o'clock dropped a
brake-beam at Newbury Station, throwing
one coach off the track. 1t was in a bad
place for work, and caused delay of three
hours before trains were running on time
once more. Until the track was cleared
trains ran no farther north than Newbury,
and Berkeley passengers had to walk to
that station 10 take the train.
