RAILWAY RuMORS-

New YORK, April 23.-Speaking of the
change that 1t is said viii take place in
the presidency of the Union Pacific, and
of the ousting of Sage and Gould from
the directory. a gentleman who is pretty
well informed on the affairs of the road
said TO a reporter:
lone thing certain in connection with
the alleged offer of the presidency of the
Union Pacific to Captain Hayes and the
reported probable retirement of the Gould
interest is that Gould originated the
change of management himself. He saw
that he was likely to be forced out by
combination of the foreign interests with
those OF the Nanderbilts The latter in-
terest might have considered it worth
while TO secure control of the prop
erty. They might operate the Union
Pacific with advantage in connection
with the Chicago and Northwestern, and
that scheme probably Is the key to she
situation which brought about the change
IN the management announced to be made
at the annual meeting. Gould, foreseeing
the probability of this outcome, suggested
Captain Hayes as compromise candidate
for the presidency of the company. The
selection of the candidate for the presi
dency by Gould does not put him in CON
troll of the property TO the same extent as
would be the case were his lieutenant :.
II. III. Clark put in, but it leaves him
IN touch with the new management. and
gives him enough voice in the manage
ment to prevent the Union Pacfic's being
operated in opposition TO the Missouri
Pacific
CHICAGO, April %. - Advices received
today confirm the reports that q change
will be made in the official stall of the
Union Pacific road. :. III. ii, Clark viii
retire from the management and continue
to follow the fortunes of Jay Gould who.

Dillon, are to sever their connection with
the company at the annual meeting next

Dillon as president, and it is expected that

there exists all over the nation wide
spread and universal desire at this i'm
portant period of our history that our
