THE NORTHERN PACIFIC DEAL

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC DEAL
Said ThcrS Is No Doubt Hill Would Like
the Road.
MINNEAPOLIS, May ia Tribune
special from New York says:
There was general feeling on Wall
street that the relations between the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern roadswil soon be much closer than
at present. if, indeed they do not prove
70 be identical.
This was shown very clearly by the
advance In Northern Pacific securities,
nor were other signs wanting that
something is on the tapis. The North
ern Pacific reorganization committee
held a protracted meeting in the after
noon behing closed doors and refused
to give out any news after adjournment.
Besides tliis ex-senator Spooner of Wis
consin, attorney for the receivers, was
closeted with the Northern Pacific re-
ceivers. all day, starting for the West
in the evening.
Stick on the Terms.
Brayton Ives, the ostensible president
of the road, said that there was no
question as to President Hill Of the
Great Northern wanting the Northern
Pacific. The sticking point" was as
to the terms.
The secretary of the reorganization
committee stated that the meeting
showed that the Northern Pacific earn
ings were on the increase, and that the
hope of getting the property out of the
hands Of the receivers was much better
than it had been for some time. He
maintained, however, that there was at
the meeting no reference to any propo-
sitions from President Hill in regard to
buying ths-foad. -.
THE present boom of Northern Pa.
cific stock seems to be built on wind, u
said the secretary. ''In its present
complicated condition the road could
not be sold to Mr.. Hill, even if we could
agree on terms. We recognize that he
is the cleverest railroad president in
the West and that he could do a great
deal for our line, but l can assure you
that Mr.. Hill is not going to buy our
road at this time.''
At the offices of the Great Northern
road it was denied that President Hill
had cabled the Livingston committee
Offering par and interest for its hold
ings of the second mortgage bonds.
Careful inquiry at the Chase National
bank and other places in Wall street
where Mr.. Hill has business interests
failed to reveal anything definite on the
subject.
The news came from London, how
ever, that Mr.. Hill, Mr.. d. Adams ant
J. Pierpont Morgan had met a commit
tee of the Deutsche Bank of Berlin, but
beyond this announcement nothing
definite was received.

Now, however, the viceroy's monopoly
is at an end, and American machinery
is expected to be freely introduced

freedom of introduction Of machinery
will put an end to the speculative
schemes started in the United States
to operate Chinese concessions. These

of permanently disfranchising the mass

negro vote. We therefore insist and

Robin CAUGHT IN cHANcERY.

Do birds remember injuries? One
severe winter the deep snow had been
thrown off the steps of the window
and formed heap in which there
many cavities. It was my custom to
feed the birds every day after meals
with whatever scraps I could get, es-
pecially scraps of fat meat, bits OF
,ples, etc. One day it occurred 10
me to place the food in the caV1-
ties of the snow, just to see how the
birds would act. Among those which
came daily to be fed was robin red
brest. one Of the most self-corhdens
and ouarrelsome of the English
warblers. He had taken upon hlm-
self to be the s'boss" of the place, and
drove every bird away from the TIT
hits In one of the cavities 1 had
nl,ced O. fine piece of fat, and the
robin poked his head in; then went
right in to enjoy the delicacy.
In the twinkling of an eye two lit
tie bluetits-small, pugnaclous BIRDS
were NJ the entrance pegging at
him. Finding that he could not back
ont the round to face the foe, but they
kept up such q perfect fusilade OF
pecks that he gave in and drew back
a. far rs he could. When the blue
tits went away he came ont, looking
crestfallen. anal whenever his enemies
appeared on the steps kept his dis
tauce. The bully had mastered a les
son for once.
Now, simple as such an incident ls'
II is indicative of what we cannot we'll
help calling reasoning power. Ihe
blretit is much smaller bird than
the redbreast, has less powerful
bea and is not much accustomed to
b. on the ground, for his habit is to
hunt for insects among buds He
would have no chance in the open, but
he recognized at once s'tbe hole" the
redbreast had put himself in and IN
conjunction with an ally he takes ad-
vantage Of it. To go no higherin the
intellectual world, no schoolboy could
