UNION PACIFIC ROAD.
The Syndicate's Plan to Buy 1t Meets
With Opposition.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The plan of
the syndicate recently formed to pur-
chase the Government interest in the
Union Pacific met with unexpected op-
position to-day from Russell Sage and
the Union and United States Trust Com
panieS, who declared themselves unal-
terably opposed to any plan which con-
templates the elimination of the Govern
ment's interest in this property. Sage
considered the interest of the United
States Government in the road its most
valuable asset. Sage owns $4OO,O0O
worth of Union Pacific securities. Geo.
Gould represents $4,000 and the two
trust companies control $2,OOO,OOO. AS
Pierrepont Morgan holds the same view
as Sage it is believed the plans of the
syndicate will fail.
1t is said that there was serious dis
agreement between Mr.. Sage and Geo.
Gould on this matter, and that the latter
has sided with the syndicate. 1t is
also said that the views of Mr. Sage
and those of President Fitzgerald of the
Mercantile Trust Company were SO diff
ferent on the subject that both men sep
arated in anger.
Mr. Sage believes IL letting Union
Pacific matters rest just where they are
until the Mckinley Administration is
in Office, and he believes negotiations
can be consummated that will be salts
factory security and retain the interest
of the latter in the property.

CABINET GOSSIP.
LYrAN ]. CAGES NAME BEING

With Reference to His Availability for
Appointment as Secretary of

CANTON (O.), Jan. 21.-Lyman j.
Gage Of Chicago, who was first men
toned in these dispatches as Cabinet
possibility, is being serious + consid-
cred with reference to his availability
for appointment to the position of Sec
retary of the Treasury. Mr.. Gage is
widely known banker, but from party
point of view is opposed by some of the
active Republicans of Illinois on the
ground that he is a mugwump. Judge
Grosscup of Chicago had some conVer-
sation on the subject of Mr.. Gage and
the Treasury portfolio to-day.
It may be deemed certain that SEN
ator s. NJ. Cullom Will not be Secretary
of the Treasury. He is not candidate
for this or any other Cabinet position,
but has been seriously considered from
time to time as aCabinet possibility, and
NAV be offered the portfolio of the In
terror.
Senator ]. c. Burrows of Michigan had
another interview with the President
elect to-day in the interest of General K.

longer any differences between Senator

DEVASTATED BY EARTHQUAKE.
KISHMA ISLAND, IN THE PER-

Estimated That Twenty-Five hum

of Survivors Appalling.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-A special from
Teheran, the Persian Capital says that
100 persons perished in the earth
quake on Kishm Island on the 11th Of
January.
Kishm Island, otherwise known as
Kisma, is the largest island in the Per-
sian Gulf and is seventy miles long,
with AN average breadth of twelve
miles. 1t is surrounded by a group of
smaller islands. and has a population
estimated at about 5000 Most or the
inhabitants were Arabs, poor, ignorant.
and extremely superstitious. The value
OF buildings destroyed was, of course,
comparatively small, but the loss of
life and the sufferings inflicted upon
the survivors are appalling to contem-
plate.
1t is believed that some of the smaller
islands may have been completely sub
merged and desolated by the waters
which accompanied the convulsion of
nature. The property of the Arab shep-
herds who inhabit all these islands
consists mostly of their flocks. and
these have, of course, perished misara-
bly, with their unfortunate owners.
Kishm town, the Capital of the island
had a rude fortification, and was the
convenient stopping place and trading
station for coasting ships, some of
which We're built at the little port. 1t
