sitiOn of His Millions.

New York, Aug. 15.-The body of Col
lis P. Huntington will probably arrive
in this city on a special train from
Utica late this afternoon. The remains
will be taken to the Huntington resi-
dence at Fifth avenue and F'ifty-sev-
enth street. The funeral will probably
take place Friday or Saturday. H. E.
Huntington, nephew of the deceased
tinancier. is on his way here to attend
the funeral. All talk as to the new
president of the road is as yet prema-
ture. Certain important interests in
the company, including those of Gener-
al Hubbard, who is now abroad, and
the reports of the Searles and Hopkins
estates, will have to be consulted.
Many messages of sympathy and con-
dOlence have been received for the fam
ily at the office of the Southern Pacific
road and as many more have been sent
to the Fifth avenue residence.
Charles H. Tweed, general counsel
and second vice president of the South
ern Pacific company, who is generally
regarded as having been closer to Mr..
Huntington than any other business
associate, was asked today whether any
of the disposition of Mr. HuntingtOn'S 5
will could yet be made public
Nothing now" answered Mr.. Tweed,
Certainly nothing until after the fun
eral.
rs there any question that Mr.. Hunt
ington has left a will?'
Il don't feel at liberty to say anything
on that subject at present. Then after
rejecting few moments, Mr.. Tweed ad-
ded:
1T may safely be assumed that such
a document is in existence"
Was the stability of his investments,
in the events of his death, made secure
by formal provision during his life
time?"
Provisions was made for his holdings
being thrown upon the market.
1T is reported that your are likely to
succeed Mr.. Huntington as the head of
the Southern Pacific?"
''No-Mr. H. E Huntington, nephew of
Mr.. c. P. Huntington is the first vice
president of the company, am the sec
ond vice president. But all that is mat
ter for future arrangement"
Mr.. Tweed added that H. E. Hunting
ton had been heard from at New Orleans
on his way to this city and that he was
expected to arrive here tomorrow morn
ing or evening.
