Although Mr. Hanna is not more interest
ed in this plan to tap the Treasury for
ninety million dollars than are eleven OF
twelve other transportation magnates he
takes a sort of fatherly interest in it be-
cause. as he says, it is Senator Fryes
pet project
Whether we regard his advent in con-
nection with the subsidy job or the Pan
anna Canal deal. IL must be conceded that
1t is important. Both propositions need
the most careful handling to make them
feasible without involving degree of ex-
pense that would stagger a Rockefeller.
The sooner the campaign for each is thor
oughly organized. the quicker can legis-
lators at both ends of the Capitol be con-
WINGED by the regular arguments. We are
told that Mr. Hanna has been laboring
under the erroneous impression that the
Subsidy bill might be put through under
coercion from the White House. aided by
the promise of a few fourth-c class post
masterships and here and there a con-
sulate. II SO he is being quickly disil-
lusioned. While he has been devoting his
attention to national politics. his business
friends in New York have been studying
the legislative situation closely and in

cluded that nothing is TO be accomplished

to say that sum equal to the first years

appropriated for the expense of putting

that as IL may. Senator Hanna could hard
ly have left the Arlington conclave yes
terday without a conviction that there is
a costly If not a hard fight before Sen
ator Frye's pet project"
Last night, it is rumored. Mr.. Hanna de-
voted some time to the Panama Canal job,
and consulted with the able gentlemen
who have been conducting the preliminary
operations designed to promote its sue
cess. In this connection. too, the chief
tain of the Republican party must ha re
been impressed with the enormous ex-
pense likely to be involved in overcoming
the natural and patriotic sentiment in
Congress favorable to an American Mica

gencies OF a Congressional nature. He is

GREAT NORTHERN'S PLANS
JAMES j. HILL COMES HERE TO CONFER
WITH ]. PIERPONT MoRGAN-NoRTH-
ERN PACIFIC CONTROL.

James j. HILL president OF the Great Northern
Railway Company reached this city Friday
night from the West and spent the day yesterday
In conference downtown. chiefly with j. Pier
pont Morgan. starting at night his return 20 his
home. IN ST. Paul 1t is believed that the confer
ence with Mr.. Morgan related largely to the future
management OF the Erie Railroad Company. OF
which Mr. Hill recently elected director.
In speaking OF the railway situation in the North
west, Mr.. Hill said yesterday that there was now
an undoubted condition OF harmony between the
Great Northern and the Northern Pacific, but that
there was idea OF "hitching up OF the sys-
TENS. AS TO the reported plan for forming
through line from TO ocean. OF which the
Great Northern and the Erie OF the Baltimore and
Ohio might be links. Mr.. Hill said he had said
a week or two previously in interview at ST.
Paul. that such an idea was absurd; adding that
his road would benefit more through being able TO
distribute its tonnage among several roads than
through delivering it all to a single connectins
line.
Mr.. Hill would discuss the reporS that he
might soon enter the Board OF Directors Of the
Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Pau. but 1t was
learned from authoritative source yesterday

upon the best authority that the three largest
stockholders of the Great Northern-fr. Hll, John

For II is the opinion Of leading hnancers that the
ownership by Mr.. Hin and his friends OF a large
amount Of Northern Pacific stock-although less
than actual majority-coupled with the undis-
puted fact OF their control OF important line
paraileling the Northern Pacific, means that they
now control the Northern Pacific, so long domi-
mated by the Morgan interests.
1t was said in Wall Street yesterday with much
posItiveness that the $4,000 600 per cent preferred
stock Of the Northern Pacific would be retired

common stock is now per cent basis, and in
any future division OF profits the common and the
preferred would share alike. a restriction the
common stock which the directors understood
to think it desirable TO remove In the fiscal year
ended on June 30 the Northern Pacific reported
surplus earnings OF IS 4s3Oo0 equal 20 about per
cent on the outstanding common shares. The de-
tails Of the plan for the retirement Of the pre-
ferred stock expected TO be announced early in
the week. In the readjustment OF the company's
securities leading feature will probably be the
disposition of the land grant, now amounting 10
about 100000 acres.

OF POOLS HOLDINGS
The course OF Southern Pacific in the recent bull
market has excited much comment in the Street
but has been without authoritative explana ton.
While about every other railway stock on the list
has been rapidly advancing in price Southern Pa
cihc has been practically at a standstill all the
month, huctuating fraetionally between ~ and 49,
although the transactions in the stock have been
large, ranging from 2o.ooo TO 1000 shares a day
Two days ago, however, the long expected advance
came, the stock rising to 447s sales Of about
10000 shares. and yesterday It closed at IS. The
beginning Of activity IN the pria4 it said yes

marked the final liquidation of the holdings OF a
pool which manv months ago took over the stock
of Mrs. Leland Stanford. and which recently added
10 its holdings the stock Of the c. p Huntington
estate in Southern Pacific This pool It is said
has been transferring these stocks day by day 10
another pool formed to acquire them, the compost
ton OF which could not be definitely learned yes
teTday.
