ruled by them. Mahomet, Napoleon,

BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
Union Pacific Acquires Control of the
Southern Pacific.

The Southern Pacific has been absorb
ed by the Union Pacific. Notice of tho
consummation OF the deal was made pub
lie in New York Friday and it startled
the railroad and financial world. Union
Pacific interests obtain more than two
tifths of the entire capital stock of SO
100000. The gigantic deal is but pre-
liminary to the ocean to-ocean Wander
bilt line that is ultimately to link New
York and San Francisco with baud of
steel rails owned or controlled 10y one
company. The present owners OF the
Union Pacific represent the Vanderbilt.
Standard Oil and kindred interests.
The deal marks the beginning of the
realization of a dream of transcUntinent-
al transportation that had its humble be
ginning when the first Vanderbilt ran n
ferry line from Staten Island to the city
of New York. When that dream is fully
realized the New York Central, the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, the Chi
caso and Northwestern and the greater
Union Pacific created by this pur-
chase will be the component parts.
The announcement was made in II
manner sufficiently explicit to leave no
possibility of question or doubt that the
Hartman syndicate, acting in the inter
ests of the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany, had acquired by purchase the con
troll OF the Southern Pacific company.
Both the Huntington and the Speyer in
terests in Southern Pacific have passed
to the new interests, which are closely
identified with the Rockefellers, Wander
bilts and Kuhn, Loeb K Co.
The vast transaction, the consumma-
ton of which changes the railroad map of
the United States and calls into exist
enee the largest railway system in the
world. was carried out by private nego-
tiatiOn. Upward of SS0,OOO,OOO, par
value, Of Southern Pacific stock has been
acquired and the original dreams of the
promoters of the first Pacific enterprises
"a thorough route under one ownership
from the Missouri river to rne Golden
Gate-has at last been accomplished.
No details We're forthcoming as to the
price paid for the stock or the method of
financing the purchase or the future
management of the Southern Pacific com
pany. All that is definitely known is
that the Speyer and Huntington interests
in Southern Pacific have been acquired
by the Hartman party in Union Pacific,
and that the S,157 miles of road owned,
operated or leased by the Union Pacific
road, added to the 1914 miles similarly
controlled by the Southern Pacific COM
pany, making total of 1o,iIl miles,
will in the future be operated i'll the clos
est possible harmony. To the Union Pa
cific the acquisition is of the greatest pos
sible value, as it assures for all time the
transcontinental character of that prop
erty. nor is it without similar import to
the Southern Pacific company, which is
definitely assured of two permanent
routes to the East, the direct line via the
Central Pacific to Ogden and another
southern line to eastern tidewater at
New Orleans, on the Gulf of Mexico.
