SALE OF SOUTHERN PACIFIC
PRESIDENT HAYS SAYS POLICY WILL
NOT BE CHANGED.
H. z. Huntington Will Probably Re-
tire From the Directory and
Vice Presidency.

SAN FRANCISCO, February. 2-Presi-
dent C. NJ. Hays of the Southern Pacific
Company, when asked II he thought the
sale of the controlling interest In the COM
pany to the Hartman syndicate would LEAD
to important changes of management or
policy, said:
Il see no prospect of any marked change
In Southern Pacific affairs so far as the
public interest Is concerned so long as 1t Is
managed in accordance with broad ana
liberal policy. which cOnserves the best
interests of the public.
"The Southern Pacific will go ahead very
much as if no change had taken place. Its
interests, in a traffic sense, are pretty well
defined and are not to be disturbed by ar.y
new or revolutionary policy. In fact. do
not look for any material change OF policy
1 do not think the sale means one set OF
officers for the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific. The two roads are big properties
and can best be handled by separate sets
of officers, as at present.
Referring to his own position. Mr. Hays
said he had no reason to suppose that II
would be disturbed. He sad he was on
terms of friendship with the announced
members of the purchasing syndicate, and
spoke highly of Mr.. Harrimans ability as
a railroad man.
said: THE Vanderbilt railroad and steam
ship interests will now have direct line
between Hamburg and Hong Kong across
the American continent"
Third Wee President Stubbs, a personal
friend of Mr.. Hartman says the change OF
ownership of the road was as big sur
prise to him as it was to the other officials
of the road.
1t Is expected that H. E. Huntington Will
retire as a director and first vice president
of the company at the annual meeting in
April next
According to C. P. Huntngton's WILL his
widow was left two-thirds of his Southern
Pacific stock, and his nephew. H. E. Hunt
ington, the remaining third. In round num-
bers, the late magnate had 100000 OF tie
900 900 shares of Southern Pacific stock.
H. E. Hunt:ngton's portion was. therefore,
100000 shares. On the supposed basis or

The fire. which originated in the basement
of the Dreskell-Jupp Company's building
from some unknown cause. worked rapidly

to the Detroit Free Press Printing Com
pany's building. and before the firemen
could bring a stream to bear on the struc-
ture the two upper floors were ablaze. BY
hard work. however, the fire was confined
to these floors. The entire plant was flood

STREET RAILROAD REPORTS.
What Is Said in Financial Circlei
About Warrington Traction.

What is Said in Financial Circles
About Washington Traction.
In local financial circles today much IN
terest was displayed in the annual reports
Of the street railroads controlled by the
WASHINGTON Traction and Electric Com
pany, and which were sent yesterday to
Congress. All Of the eleven companies
were thus represented, with the exception
of the Washington and Glen Echo, the
Washington and Rockville. the Washing
ton and Woodside and the Capital COM
panies. The figures given Of the net re-
ceipts Of the system. 1t is believed. would
not be materially affected by the inclusion
Of the returns from the four roads named.
The general opinion Is that the showing
made Is much more favorable than had
been expected. Owing to the fact that the
condition Of the properties during the year
of 1899 was chaotic, 1t is thought that any
comparison between the business or lSOo
and 1899 would be Of little value. The
present railroad system was not In full op-
Grafton until June, 1900, so that even the
figures Of 1900 are not regarded as a 1alr
test Of the earning capacity of the system.
According to summary made or the re-
ports, the increase in the net revenue our
ing the past year was about S135.OOO. 1t Is
electric plant will effect yearly saving or
about 500, ,O00 and estimating S15O,OOO as
earnings of the two electric lighting COM
panies, with also due allowance for econo-
mics in management which will reduce the
operating charges. 1t is believed by some
that by the end Of the present year the
earnings of the system will be sufficient not
only to pay the operating expenses, but also
the fixed charges as far as they include the
interest on the Az per cent bonds.
