REPORT THAT ZWEIBUND WILL
BE ENDED.
A new BURLINGTON DEAL
Union Pacific and Milwaukee Will
Have Share in Company's
Control.

New York, May 13.-The Evening
Post says: 1t is believed some ar
rangement will be worked by which
the Burlington will be held so that it
cannot possibly be worked to injure
any of the western railways. That is
the Union Pacific will not only get an
interest in the property, but the st.
Paul, which, next to the Union Pa.
cific, was most seriously jeopardized
by the passing of the Burlington's
control to the northern transcontinen-
tai lines, will share in the Burlington
control, so that it will be removed alb
solutely as a disturbing factor in the
railway situation.
It is not believed that J. Pierpont
Morgan & Co. will be displaced as the
interest responsible before the public
for the management of the property
but there was some suggestion today
that the alliance between Hill and
Morgan, which has only been of about
six months duration, will be ended.
There is good ground for saying that
while Hill has probably retained the
large interest in Northern Pacific,
which he acquired last summer, when
the stock declined to below so, on &C.
count OF the reduction OF the dividend,
the most influential of Hills friends in
the directorate have liquidated their
holdings. They were, with Hill, who
is not a Northern Pacific director, the
most enthusiastic believers of the Bur.
lington deal. This vas long opposed
by the older Northern Pacific people.

the company announced that traffic
will be resumed in the morning. The
non-uniOn men it IS said came from
Philadelphia and were met at the sta
tion by a platoon of mounted Off
GERS and two patrol wagons full of
policemen. The directors of the COM
pany remained in session all the after
noon awaiting a reply from the strik-
ers, to the proposition made at the
conference this afternoon. The strik-
ers met and unanimously decided not
to accept the proposition. The direc-
tors then gave oruers for the operat-
ing of the roads tomorrow. Notices
were sent to the sheriffs of Albany
and Rensselaer, counties, and mayors
and chiefs of police of Albany, Troy,
Watervelse, Cohoes and Rensselaer,
of the intention to operate, together
with a request for police protection.
Forty-five employees of the company

The first leg of tL,. course was from

The old Shamrock had a length the

White Nose Point was dead to wind

Bulletin will say in tomorrow's report
on the wool TRACE of the United States:
The recovery of prices at the Lon
don auctions to the level of the last
private sales, establishing an advance
of 5 per cent on merinos above the
last auctions, has stimulated Ameri-
can markets. Medium woods are weak
and dull, but "a sale OF $50, 900 pounds
of old 1899 clip fine medium Wyoming
clothing was worked off at AZ cents
clean in Boston; a notably good sale,
and some American holders of Aus
tralian have been able this week to
sell their wool in London. Fine un-
washed Ohio has sold freely here at
is cents an. unwashed delaine at 20
cents. Australian wool in Boston has
advanced in sympathy with London
and is quite firm. The low price of
American oarse pulled woods is fore
ing foreign carpet woods out of the
American blanket and cheviot mills.
The receipts Of wool in Boston since
January have been 52,S22, 676 pounds
against 63,021,O90 pounds for the same
period in 1900. Boston shipments to

Only the Texas and the hurri.
cane deck are above water, which
reaches to the height of the cabins.
All the state rooms are completely
filled with water.
1t is supposed the most of the miss.
ing deck hands, who were on the lower
deck, were washed down river and
drowned.
1t is estimated that between rs and
SO people were drowned in the sink
ing of the City of Paducah near
Brunkhorst Landing.
Between II and ~ o'clock Sunday
night, Fannie Block, who was in the
compartment with her parents, Rev.
and Mrs. Block, going from st. Louis
to Evansville, Ind, vas aroused from
her sleep by a sudden jar. She asked
her mother il her berth had broken
and no sooner had the words passed
her lips than water rushed into the
apartments and they were compelled
to act quickly to ave their lives. With
four others they escaped to the Illinois
shore by holding to drift wood and
swimming. Rev. Block is a Jewish
Rabbi. Seven survivors Of the catas-
trophe made their way down the river
bank to Garnd Tower and we're given
lodging at the fremont hotel. They
lost all their clothes and valuables
and had nothing but blankets about
them. Among the drowned were about
70 negro roustabouts. The top Of the
boat can be seen above the water.

Not Etated,

New York, May 13.-The majority of
American yachtsmen we're not unduly
elated today over the reported defeat
of Shamrock II. by the '99 challenger.
The general opinion seemed to be that
these trials of the two Shamrocks are
not regular races and that the new
Shamrock is practically an untried
boat yet and that it will be unfair to
Judge her work by this informal trial.
Outside of this, Watson, her design
er, delights in mystery, and even If
the new boat was faster than the old
Shamrock he would not take the pub
lie into his confidence.

VISIT G. 4. R. ENCAMPMENT

Del Monte, May 11.-President Nc
Knley and his party today enjoyed a
comparatively quiet day. The presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley spent the ma
jor part of the day in their rooms
at the hotel.
This afternoon, Immediately after
luncheon, the party were driven to
Monterey, two miles from the hotel,
and the president made a brief speech.
The entire population of this historic
old town, the capital Of the republic
of California, turned out to welcome
him and there was a prodigious dis
play, of flowers. The speaking took
place at the point where the Bear
flag" the standard of The republic, was
first raised in California. The party
hen continued their journey to Pa
cifc Grove, a small neighboring town,
where the annual encampment of the
department of California and Nevada,
G. A. R., is being held and here the
president met his old comrades. 1t
had been the intention of the presi-
dent to take the famous 17-mile drive
along the ocean front afterward, but
Mrs. Mckinley was i%ndisposed and he
decided to return to the hotel. The
members of the cabinet, however, en-
joyed the long drive through the vast
park of 10000 acres. 1t is a natural
park filled with ancient moss-grown
cypress and live oaks and abounds in
deer and game Of all kinds.
On the return trip a big rose tree
in Monterey was pointed out by the
guide as the growth of a little bush
which it is said that General VIM. T.
Sherman and his Spanish sweetheart
had planted there years ago., when he
al a lieutenant serving in the de-
partment of the Pacific.
This evening after dinner the pres
ident held an informal reception in
the hotel parlors. Tomorrow the party
will rest here quietly.

New York, May 13.-The World to-
morrow will say that Senator William
A. Clark, who is now abroad, was a
large purchaser of Union Pacific stock
1 today and that his purchases were
made in behalf of the Hill Morgan
party.
b The World will also say: An i'm.

I to wrest the Northern Pacific from the
Hill-Morgan crowd. Kuhn, Loeb & 20,
\ yesterday (Monday) completed a re.
vised account of the stock actually

by their agents abroad This count
showed a great change over that maze
on Saturday. While stock actually in

control, the margin is very narrow and
they still have a great many purchases
to hear from. If one-fourth of these
result in deliveries of actual stock they
will have control.
A member of the Harriman-Kuhn,

REST SUNDAY
AT DELM0NTE
PRESIDENTIAL PARTY STILL
IN FLOWERLAND.
SANTA BARBARA INCIDENT
Fire Chief Lets His Own House
Burn Down While He
Sees President.
SANTA BARBARA INCIDENT

San Luis Obispo, CAL, May 1O.-The
route of the presidents train north
ward from Los Angeles today lay
through Santa Clara valley to the
coast where it ran for hours along the
edge of cliffs overhanging the Pacific
ocean. At every stopping place today
there was a flower show rivalling in
beauty the floral parade which the
president witnessed yesterday at Los
Angeles. At Ventura and Santa Bar
bara the president was simply over
whelmed with flowers. The carriages
in which he rode were lined with them
and streets over which he passed were
paved with them. There was no abate-
ment today of the enthusiasm which
has attended the presidents progress
since he entered California. A drive
through the city was in fact the princi.
pal feature at the places where the
president stopped today. He was very
much interested in the old Spanish
missions filled with historic relics,
which he visited both at Ventura and
at Santa Barbara.
San Luis Obispo was the last stop
OF the day. 1t was reached at z O'Clock
this evening, in time for a drive
through the town. After crossing
the mountain range the train will drop
down to ri Monte, on the bay of Mon
terey, where the party will remain to-
morrow and Sunday. The programme
will include a visit to the national en-
campment during the afternoon. Sun
day will be given up to rest.
An unusual incident occurred dur
ing the presidents stay at Santa Bar
bara. The residence of the chief of
the fire brigade caught fire. The chief
who was on the street awaiting the
coming of the president, was informed
that his house was in flames. "Let it
burn he said. 81 will wait and see
the president. l can build another
house, but may never have another
opportunity to see the president of the
United States" and he stoically re-
NAMED while his house burned to the
ground.
Il saw the president" he said when
Informed that his house was in ruins;
Il saved the Lot, anyway"
The presidential party stopped one
hour at San Luis Obispo. 1t was al
most dark when the train arrived.
The president spoke briefly from the
veranda Of the Ramona hotel. After he
had concluded, the crowd surged up
the steps in a vain endeavor to get
near him, and there was almost a pan
ic for a moment. With some difficulty
the president was extricated through a
window into the parlor and thence to
the real exit, from which he was driv-
en- to the train. Severa, of Ghc par
ty had narrow escapes from severe
injury. d.
