ment is made tonight that tomorrow
]. P. Morgan & Co. will notify shorts
that they will be released Of short
obligations to Morgan & Co. on the
basis of $50. Shorts will get no stock
from the Morgan company. They will
get only freedom. The Burlington
deal will be tomorrow an accomplished
tact. 1t is already accepted. The
Morgan-Hill interest controls North
ern Pacific stock and the board Of d.
rectors has absolute power to close
the Northern Pacific-Burlington mer-
ger without the consent Of two-thirds
of the Northern Pacific stock. The
old law of the Northern Pacific pre-
scribed that two-thirds Of the stock
should assent to such transaction as
the present deal. This provision still
printed in the manual accepted as
authentic, has misled opponents Of the
Morgan-Hill plans, because in the re-
organization the two-thirds provision
was abolished and power was vested
solely in the boara of directors

At chicauo.

Chicago, May 9.-The Tribune to-
morrow will say: Railroad officials
in Chicago believe some Of the conoli
dations planned by magnates will be
abandoned. J. P. Morgan, Jr., said to
Press: $50 far as know there was
no reason for this afternoons panic
except for utter lack of information
regarding conditions of the railroad
market in America. do not appre-
hend any serious results.
Mr. Brown, partner in the firm of
Speyer Bros, said: 1T cannot be
called anything but panic. Still, do
not expect failures, except, possibly
few small ones. The crowd is too
terribly excited to transact many
dealings and not much stock has
changed hands. There is no earthly
reason for the scene except an en-
deavor to keep pace with New York,
which was being done in the dark, and
led to panic such as we have never
had before. A rise that came to an
end was only to. be expected, but the
affair will hurt stocks here and it
probably will be some time before a
feeling of security is thoroughly re-
established.
A representative of Seligman Bros.
said: .'The market here is only re-
flex of New York. Without accurate
knowledge Of the conditions there it
is impossible to say what will happen
here. We are quite in the dark, but do
not anticipate any serious results"

FEEL III IN LONDON.
Most Panicky Time In Memory OF Old
est Dealers.

London, May 9.-Not in the memory
Of the Oldest stock brokers in London
has there been such a panic as pre-
vailed this afternoon in Americans.
After the closing of the stock ex-
change hundreds of dealers endeav-
ored to struggle into the narrow con-
fines Of "Shorters court" where out
side dealing was done, in efforts to
raise or reduce, as the case might be,
Americans to New York parity. Sud
denly there developed a terrific slump
in Union Pacific which was knocked
down twenty points in as many Sec
onds. ST. Paul suffered almost as
badly. Large and small brokers rushed
to the scene until ThrockmortOn street
became impasssable. Rain poured down
but the excited crowd paid no heed to
lit. Parties formed themselves into
wedges in endeavors to force their
way into the center of the shorters
court. at which spot the principal
dealing was done. All sorts OF con-
ditions and prices were shouted at
the top of the operators voices. Down,
down went Americans. leading
house sent urgent orders to buy or
SELL but found it almost Impossible
to have their orders executed. Rail
roads of every description were quot
ed at rockbottom prices, and steel
and other securities fell in sympathy.
Then without any reason a reaction
set in. Up and down went Americans.
After about half an hour OF this pan
icky speculation more reasonable
feeling prevailed and stocks rose to
within few points of their price when
the stock exchange closed. But. long
after the usual hours hundreds or
stockholders, most of them drenched
to the skin, traded in the hope OF get
ting clear before tomorrow's open
ing.

Northern was at dinner with his son

New York, May 9.-President j., ].
Hill today said: Il never bought or

on the floor Of the exchange, and what
is more, in six monrhs have neither
acquired nor gotten rid of Northern
Pacific stock or any other stock. When
the fog Of battle lifts and the air be-
comes clearer, as believe it SOON
will, people will see many things in q
much clearer light than they do now.
We never have had control Of the
Northern Pacific road; we don't want
control; we are not trying to get con-
troll and under the law we could not
retain control if we ever got it,

NAKU|NA SUES THRUN-
DISCHARGED DEPUTY WANTS
DAMAGES.
He Asks for $4,000 on Account of the
Registrars Remarks After Discharg-
ing Him.

Moses X. Nakuina has brought suit
for $4,000 damages from Registrar
Thomas G.. Thrum, on account of the
latter's statements as to Nakuina's
conduct in the registration office, at the
time when Thrum discharged him.
The plaintiff alleges that in stating
the reasons for discharging him Thrum
maliciously made and published a
number of statements to defame and
injure him. Anon" them were the re-
marks that Nakuina was afflicted with
the "big-head;" that he wanted to get
the position of registrar; that he had
been insubordinate and negligent of
his duties that there was conspiracy
in which Nakuina took part to stir up
a row in the office of the registrar, and
that Nakuina did his best to create
dissatisfaction among all the employees
of the office.
Nakuina AYERS that the statments
were untrue, and that they have great
ly injured him in the community. He
alleges that the remarks of the regis
trar caused him "to lose the respect
of the community" so that he has been
unable to secure employment and has
suffered great pain of mind and body
and injury to his standing in the COM
munity.
Andrews, Peters and Andrade are at
torneys for the plaintiff.

CRUDE OIL VERSUS COAL
SAVING OF FORTY PER CENT
EFFECTED.
Plantations and Manufacturers May
Form a Syndicate-Line of Tank
Steamers Contemplated.

The question of using crude oil in the
place of coal for the plantations, rail-
roads and in fact all concerns that use
any amount of fuel, has been for some
time seriously considered by Hawaiian
producers and manufacturers and fa
now at the point of elimination.
There is little doubt as to the saving
to be effected by the substitution Of OIL
the average gain being estimated at
forty per cent; four barrels of oil,
equalling i'm capacity one ton of coal.
In other words five dollars worth of oil
VIII produce the same amount of power
as eight dollars worth of coal. The
difficulty lying in the way is purely a
matter of supply.
1t Is calculated that the large planta-
tions of EVA and Oahu for example.
with others that might be named, burn
a quarter of a million dollars worth of
coal each, every year, and the substi-
tutlon OF oil for the present fuel would
mean an annual saving of a hundred
thousand dollars to each plantation
Ihe same boilers would be used the
change simply necessitating different
burners: The question of economies
does not apply so powerfully to the
mills that use their waste for fuel but
is peculiarly applicable to the planta-
tions with large irrigating areas that
necessitate powerful pumping engines
The railroad is also looking into the
adopuon of the new fuel, the matter
being taken up by Mr.. Dillingham; on
his last trip to the coast.
Mr. Thruston is at present in San
francisco in the interests of Alexander
and Baldwin and by the last advice had
called for tenders from the Standard
OIL Company and the United Oil in
terests of California to bid on the sup
ply and furnishing of crude oil for the
plantations in which Alexander and
Baldwin are interested

CHINA FROM THE ORIENT.

The China arrived off port last night
shortly before midnight from the Ori-
ent and anchored over night. She had
five cabin passengers for this port and
81 in the steerage. The vessel left

HE TAKES DECISIONS WITH HIM
TO WAIALUA.
A Queer Tangle of Conflicting Rulings
In Prospect if He Agrees With Judge
Gear.

The habeas corpus muddle is by no
means cleared up by the Supreme court
decisions of yesterday, and the lawyers
are still busy trying to find out how
to proceed. Judge Estee has issued a
writ in behalf of Osalki and will hear
the case next Tuesday, giving a deci-
sion OF the same points as the Hawai-
ian copft decided yesterday. Estee has
gone to Waialua to rusticate. He pro-
poses to do some work during his vaca-
tion however for this morning he sent
for copy of the Insular decisions, and
it is reported hat he intends to worm
an opinion as to what they mean.
If Estee orders the prisoners released
there will be a queer ENHANCEMENT. The
prosecution proceeds under the Terri
torial law and follows the territorial
Supreme Court. This being the case,
it is claimed tina. If an ,mpt is made
to swear out new warrants the plea of
once in jeopardy must be successful.
The Supreme court his held that the
former trials were valid, which means
that the prisoners, if released, have
been in jeopardy. So that if Estee now
releases the men. the Attorney General
may be made powerless by the very
decision he worked so hard to obtain.
In the meantime the defendants are in
JAIL -.eId under the old mittimusses. At
torney Brooks, Davis and Andrews are

High Sheriff and Attorney General
Cathcart are waiting. determined to see
that the defendants stay in jan.
The guilt of nearly all of the defend
ants is unquestioned and never has
been questioned, but that is a small
matter now. Some plead guilty. But
nobody cares anything about the ques-
tion of their guilt in the view of the
pOnderous issue as to whether their
guilt was properly established.
The cases of Chida Mama boro, George
Wade and All Quong were not decided
yesterday Appeals are on file in -.lese
cases, but they did not get to the Su-
