Canadian Pacific to Be Given
a Lively Race for North
western Trade.

NEW YORK, May 20.-President
James J. Hill of the Great Northern
railway, who arrived from Europe
Saturday, conferred with the Northern
Pacific reorganization committee and
then started for Chicago Previous to
his departure Mr.. Hill said in an inter
view that Coils p. Huntington did not
put the 10 per cent estimate ON in
crease in business bit too high as a
result of the deal between these two
companie. Rates will be put up
slightly all along the line and many ex-
penses cut Off Moreover, it means
that the Canadian Pacific will be given
a lively race in the building up and de-
velopment of the Northwest.
"Will not the Canadian Pacific rail-
way be dangerous competitor" he
was asked.
Not in the least" answered Mr..
Hill. 1--WE can compete with any
transcontinental line in the matter of
fast time. We have nothing to fea1
from Canada"
Speaking of the proposed new lines of
steamships between Japan and the Pa
cific coast, Mr.. Hill said:
Now that the war between China
and Japan is virtually over, expect
that there will be big industrial de-
velopment in those two nations, and
the United States will have as conse.
quence a good deal of business with
them. If such line of steamships is
established, it will have to have new
ships for fast service, like the new At
lantic liners, and of course that would
take some time, but it will come"

REORGANlZlNG THE N. p.
Plan Agreed Upon by the Deutsch Bank of
Berlin.

Plan Agreed Upon by the Deutsch Bank oi
Berlin.
BERLIN, May 20. For the past four
days meetings of the United German
Northern Pacific committees have been
considering the proposals of Ed Adams,
the representative of the Deutsch
Bank of Berlin, for the reorganization
of the Northern Pacific, and they have
finally authorized him to carry out his
plan, which the bondholders will be
recommended to accept.
The first point of the Adams reor-
ganization plan is the foreclosure Of the
o.d company and the formation Of a
new company under special arrange
ments for this purpose.
Secondly, the new company is to
issue shares to the amount of 800, 900, =
600 and a maximum of $500, 900, 900
gold bonds, free of taxation. A suf-
ticient amount of these bonds is to be
reserved in order to replace the present
firat mortgage bonds later and s., ,000,-
coo of bonds are to be reserved in order
to acquire
Independent Branch Roads
and for new construction at a maxi
mum charge of $4,000 per mile. The
new bonds will be secured by a mort
gage lien on the whole Northern Pacific
system, including the ST. Paul and
Northern Pacific, and will bear interest
partly at and partly at per cent, all
under the same mortgage.
Thirdly. the capital and interest of
the new bonds are to be guaranteed
unconditionally by the Great Northern
by endorsing each bond, the Great
Northern receiving in return half of
the stock Of the new company.
The reorganization and the raising of
the necessary working capital is to be
secured by a syndicate headed by
Messrs. J. Pierpont Morgan and the
Deutsch Bank.

to Oshkosh steamboat men to tie up
their boats for the next two months
