 It was practically settled yesterday that the purchase of the Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy road by Northern Pacific and Great Northern will be put through. The buying roads are to issue s200 in bonds for every $100 par value share of Burlington stock This will give MT. Hill and MT. Morgan a profit of nearly s20 100000.

 The spokesman of the Hartman syndi- cate said:
 we will not oppose the payment of 200 for the Burlington stock, though 1t is true that Great blocks of 1t were bought up by somebody sometime back at low figure"

JACKSONVILLE ISSUES APPEAL
 FUR ASSISTANCE City is Unable to Cope With
 the Situation GREAT DANGER OF SICKNESS A Large Amount of Money Will Be Necessary To Relieve the People From Great Misfortune Which
 Has BefalIen Them.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 13.-At a meet ing of the executive committee of the Jacksonville relief Association this after noon the decision was arrived at that the amount of money so far contributed for the relief of the fire sufferers was far from adequate to meet the demand. Pres ident Garner of the Relief Association, Bishop Weed of the Episcopal diocese of Florida, and Mayor Bowden were appoint ed committee to prepare an address to the people of the United States. The com mittee issued the following:
 "To the People of the United States:
 ''We, the undersigned, representing the people of Jacksonville, wish to express to the people of the United States the heartfelt gratitude of the people of this city for the way in which they have re- sponded to our needs. The relief commit tee of Jacksonville sent out a statement some days ago in answer to the numer- ous inquiries which the committee have received. It was then too soon to esti- mate the extent of the damage or to es- innate the extent of the needs of the peo pie. It is now ten days since the great fire and we are begining to realize the greatness of the calamity which has be- fallen us. We have received many gen. erous donations in the way of supplies of food and clothing, but we find ourselves confronted with the need of clearing away the debris and maintaining order and dis cipline, trying to prevent sickness and of caring for those who are sick. It Is inn possible to render 10000 or moro people homeless without extreme suffering it is impossible to meet all the cases of need at once. The sanitary condition of the city must be perfected and maintained. and unless we can have the aid of the charitable people Of the Bnitec 3tates we are compelled to acknowledge our inabil- ity to cope fully with the situation. Only those who have been in the city and can realize the nature of the distress of many who have been turned out of house and homes can appreciate the danger of sick ness from the huddled condition of the people. making the situation here alarm ing. It will take a very large amount of money at the smallest estimate to care for the actual needs of the people and put the city in a proper condition. Our duty compels us to call upon the generous and always ready people of this country for assistance in this, our hour of need. :.
