Plan FOR CONSOLIDATION.
HOW 1T Is THOUGHT BURLINGTON. GREAT NORTH
ERN AND NORTHERN PACIFIC CAN UNITE
Lnr TELEGRAPH To THE rRIpuNE.I

tBT TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE1
St Paul Mimi, oct. 11-An afternoon newspaper
here says IT was disclosed to-day that the legal
department OF one of the interested roads has dis
covered a plan whereby the Burlington Great
Northern and Northern Pacific may be consolidated,
operated and brought under central manage
ment without violating the laws of the various
States which prohibit the consolidation of compet-
ing lines. From the results thus obtained the
latest phase of the situation is the formation of
a financial company to purchase the stock Of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific and also of
the Canadian Northern. 1t is declared that the
State laws cannot touch this organization. as the
Burlington is in sense competitor of the other
roads.
The proposed merger, ii is said. provides that the
Great Northern stock shall be transferred the
new company at 200. and the Northern Pacific
20 There is. in the opinion of eminent railroad
lawyers here, reason why an independent COM
pany shall NOT have the custody of these two
stocks. and if this independent company is the Bur
lington raorganlzed Individual company no
law can successfully attack the arrangement. II
is technical evasion of the law, because J. j. Hill
and others interested would the independent
company.
The plan proposed is similar to that of the
United States Steel Corporation, except that the
corporation proposed will be known the United
States Railroad Company. and. the information
declares. organized for the purpose of purchasing
railroad stock and property, steamship and tele-
rraph lines coal mines etc. 1t is further de-
cared that the plans contemplate the merger of the
Canadian Northern. the road which recently ac-
which has nearly completed line from Montreal

The first of the international yacht
races result in n fuke, the wind rcfus-
ing them a race within the time limit.
The great single stickers went out
this morning fresh for the battle, but
the sea refused them a field Of conflict.
The wind, never more than nine and
sometimes a low as three knots, was
too light and shifty to carry the con
testants over the thirty-mile course in
the time allotted by the rules. At the
end of five and one-half hours, the pre-
scribed time, the race was officially
declared off and the yachts were towed
back to their berth inside Sandy Hook.
When the gun on board the commit
tee boat was fired to call attention to
the signal declaring the race off, the
American yacht was still five miles
from the finish line. The E%nglishman
was well astern Of her, the experts es-
timating her distance behind the CO.
lumbia at over thrcc-quartcrs Of a
mile.
Under the rules the unfinished race
, will be resailed on Saturday, and the
course will be again fifteen miles to
windward and leeward and return.
