NO WATERING" OF STOCK.
Denial of Unauthorized Wall Street
Stories Involving the Great
Northern Road.

NEW YORK, Feb. A Wall stree.
news bulletin says today: Great
Northern preferred rose another twelve
points yesterday on small transactions.
The total sales were about 300, 900
shares. The advance was on scatter
ed buying that did not seem for the
most part to come from people closely
connected with the property. 1t was
accompanied by a number Of stories,
all to the effect that Great Northern
stockholders were to be given at once,
In one form or another, an extra or
special distribution of dividend or
rights to subscription for new stock.
I'VE can state on the highest au-
thor1ty that there is no truth in any
OF these statements, as far as the i'm
mediate present is concerned. 1t is not
intended to take steps to increase the
capital at the moment. 1t is, how
ever, probable that, in due time, ad-
vantage will be taken Of opportunities
that may occur to give stockholders
valuable rights to subscribe to new
stock, but there will be no watering
of stock, nor will new capital be issued,
except for value existing and hereto
fore uncapitalized. 1t is very closely
held, and 1T is safe to say that, as re-
CARDS nine-tenths of the stock, the
market price Is a matter of indiffer-
ence to its owners"
One of the stories ahoat was to the
effect that James ]. Hill, president Of
the Great Northern, and Jacob H.
Schiff, of the Union Pacific reorgani-
zation committee, had held various
conferences, and that the development
in which both roads would participate
might be looked for.
Henry w. Cannon, president of the
Chase National bank, and a director in
the Great Northern, when asked about
the report that some change was eX-
pected in the Great Northern, replied:
You can say, coming from me, that
there is no plan for any immediate
change in the Great Northern. I mean
by that, not this week, or next week.
or next month. OF course, 1 can't
delve far into the future
How do you account for this sud
den rise in the stock?" Mr. Cannon
was asked.
81 suppose it can be traced to specu-
latiVe causes said Mr.. Cannon. "Mr.
Hill is here now and reports things TO
be in excellent shape. He has not pur-
chased a share of stock since he has
been here. The property is doing well.
1t is about the only stock of a West
ern road that has not gone up in the
last year or so, and, owing to it's eX-
cellent condition and splendid prom
ise, I suppose it is considered a good
investment. There is absolutely no
plan perfected for any radical changes
in the affairs of the road. There were
various rumors afioat in Wall street
in the course of the day, but so far
as I know, none of them have any
foundation

GREAT DISTRESS IN RUSSIA.
Suffering Among the Peasants as
Great as During the Famine
of 1891.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Times says:
A failure in the harvest has caused
terrible distress among the peasantry
of the interior, especially in Central
and Southeastern Russia. In some
places they are worse off than during
the famine of 1891. The Russian edi-
tors have been forbidden to refer to
the matter. Private letters from Tam
boff, southeast of Moscow, say the
peasants are feeding their half starved
cattle with the thatches of their roofs.
Typhus and other diseases are making
rapid headway among them.
