CONTROL WILL BED1vIDED.
Union Pacii &c and st. Paul Will Probably Hold
an Interest in Burlington.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press)
New York, May 13-The Evening Post
sa-s:
1T is believed that some arrangements
will be worked out by which Burlington
will be held so that il cannot possibly
be operated to iniure AMY of the Wes-
tern railroads. That is, the Union Pa
cific will not only get an interest in the
nronerty but the St. Paul, which. next
to the Union Pacific. was most seriously
jeopardized by the passing of Burlington
control to the Northern trans-continen-
tai lines. will share in the Burlington
contract, so that it viii be removed alb
solutely as a disturbing factor in the
railroad situation.
ut is not believed that J. P. Morgan
and Company will be displaced as the
interest responsible before the public for
the management of that property, but
there was some suggestion today that the
alliance between Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Morgan
which has been only Of about six months
duration will be ended. There is good
ground for saying that while Mr.. Hill
has probably retained the large interest
in Northern Pacific, which lie acquired
last summer, when the stock declined be-
low so, on the reduction of the dividend,
the most influential of Mr.. Hills friends
in the directorate have liquidated their
holdings. They were. with Mr.. Hill, who
is not a Northern Pacific director. the
most enthusiastic advocates Of the Bur-
lington deal This was long opposed by
the older Northern Pacific people"

The TRIALS AT MANILA.
Internal Revenue Collector in Provinces Won't
Support the Government.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press)
Manila, May 13,-The military officials
generally are seconding the settlement of
affairs in the province with the notable
exception of the Province of Bataan,
where Major P. Vose, commanding the
Sixth artillery, has sought to force his
own ordinances to collect taxes and has
not authorized civil government in the
province. General Macarthur has or
dered Major Vose to cease his unauthori-
tative assumptions of authority. The
United States Philippines Commission
finds that the internal revenue collec-
tions in most of the provinces are not
sufficient to support the provincial gov
ernments until the beginning of the col
lections of land taxes, year hence, and
appropriations of $4,000 to $4,000 will be
made from the insular treasury in favor
of several Of the provinces. These APP
preparations will be considered to be
loans. In addition the provincial laws
will be amended so as to require a
cedula of one peso from all males over
IS, half of which will go to the province
and half to the municipality.
The Treasury at Washington has begun
the payment of Sundry Army expenses,
including rents and rewards for surren-
dered arms formerly borne by the insular
treasury. 1t is considered certain that
Colonel Charles A. Woodruff, the chief
commissary officer, had no connivance
with the contractors frauds. The appear
anee of his name is explained by the fact
that the latter paid the renting agents
a portion of rent for Colonel Woodruffs
house, above the price which was named
to Colonel Woodruff. This amount Col
onel Woodruff offered to refund when he
discovered it, having in the meanwhile
left the house. But, the agents declined
to accept it.
There have been several minor cap
lures and surrenders in Cavite, Batangas
and Tayabas Provinces A number of
camps and quantities of supplies have
been destroyed.
A civilian, Sylverter c. Fletcher, an
employee OF the depot quartermaster, has
been sentenced to FIVE years imprison-
ment in Bilibid prison (Manila), for sell
ing Government bacon and coffee.
The trial of Commissary Sergeant Hen
ry Wilson, on the charge of stealing SUP
plies, was begun today.
At a conference recently between Brig
adler General Funston and General La

NO SHARES FOR DELIVERY.
will Morgan Help the London Brokers Out of
This Hole!
(By the Associated Press


London, May ia special meeting of
the Stock Exchange committee has been
summoned for Monday in the hope of
reaching a solution in the difficulty in
which operators and brokers who have
given called for Northern Pacific for the
end of May and July find themselves. 1t
developed today that every share here is
held by the Morgans and Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., and therefore the brokers are unable
to secure a single share for delivery. The
situation has depressing effect. Owing
to the closing of the New York Stock
Exchange Americans were absolutely
stagnant, awaiting developments. j..
Pierpont Morgan will be in London this
afternoon and conference will be held.
1t is hoped he and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. will
do something to relieve the situation. In
the meantime there is considerable anx-
iety. Though the closing of the Stock
Exchange here was easier, quotations
mostly showed marked advance. North
ern Pacific common was quoted at an adj
vance of S0h points, in connection with
the settlement.

MORGAN RELIEVES THE SCARE.
Question of Control of Northern Pacific
Will Probably Not be Settled Soon.
(By the Associated Press


New York, May 13.-Under reassuring
news from London to the effect that
basis of settlement with the Northarn
Pacific shorts had been agreed upon, aAd
that ]. p. Morgan was lending the stock
fiat" for delivery in that market, the
New York stock exchange began business
today strong The first trading was well
distributed throughout the list and was
at prices generally higher than the close
on Friday. Union Pacific sold at 116 a few
minutes after 10 o'clock, showing a gain
Of $40 a share as compared with Thurs
days low point. Developments in the
Northern Pacific situation are awaited
with the keenest interest, but it was the
general opinion in Wall Street today that
it would be some time before the ques
ton of control would be definitely set
tied 1t is believed that one party to
the controversy holds control through
the preferred stock, and that several in
tricate legal points are involved con-
corning the right of the directors of the
company to retire the preferred stock
at par and thus deprive it of it's voting
power.
The heavy buying of Union Pacific,
which, up to the present has not been
explained, was today active and during
the first half hour of trading the price
rose on large transactions to 123. There
we're selling orders in Union Pacific above
100, and the stock fell back to 1l6@, but
an immediate rally followed. Tward noon
the market became crietcr ard weaker
and generally declined on small trarsac-
tions.
There was no sale Of NrLhcr1 Pas. ic
common until 1870 when sale of leo
shares was made at 100, an advance OF
80 ,,ointe from FRIDAYS last sale.

clear of all distractions and no tides of
any consequence the Shamrock / today
beat Sir Thomas Lipton's new boat by five
minutes and five seconds over a triangu-
lar course of about twenty miles. The
only possible disadvantage to the challen
ger was in the fact that she used her old
mainsail which sits worse since it's salt
water bath of Thursday. There was no
discoyerable holding back of the challen-
ger, although once or twice she pointed
such course as left the suspicion that
the steersman was not taking advantage
of every chance There is no doubt the
result of todays trial was distinctly dis

APPEAL TO THE KING.
One IL to BE Made in Behalf Of
Mrs. Maybrick.

New York, March PA dispatch to
the Herald from London says:
Another attempt is soon to be made to
obtain royal clemency for Mrs. May
brick
The Baroness de Rouque. Mrs. May
bricks mother has been in London dur
ing the last week in consultation with
her legal advisers. for the purpose Of
framing a petition to the crown for her
daughters pardon.
1t has been intimated that the pros
pect Of bringing about such denoue-
ment has not diminished owing 70 the
accession Of his majesty Edward VII,
However that may be. that is to say,
whatever views his majesty may per
sonally entertain on the question Of the
guilt or punishment of Mrs. MaybrIcix,
II Is not the intention Of her friends to
conduct the latest campaign for her re-
lease on similar lines to those formerly
adopted.
one OF the staunehest supporters Of
the Baroness de Rouque is Mr.. J. II.
Levy, the chairman Of the Personal
Rights association of the Nation Liberal
club. He has had several conferences
with Mr. Choate ON the propriety Of pre-
senting an address to the crown through
the home Office.
Mr.. Choate. while declining officially
to take part in such proceedings has
nevertheless assured the friends Of Mrs.
Maybrick that he win do everything he
can in his private capacity to further
their object.
Another new departure in the latest ef-
fort to secure the liberty of Mrs. May
brick is the discountenancing of newspa-
per advocacy Of her petition.
Mr.. Levy said: while we recognize
and are grateful for the spirit actuatinS
such support to our appeal, we cannot
help feeling that its very earnestneSs
may somehow tend to defeat its own
object
Under the circumstances we have
deemed it best merely to plead the uu-
fortunate lady's case as one meriling
royal clemency, and on this ground to
petition the king to grant her pardon
Mr.. Levy's appeal will probably be
handed to the home secretary, r.Ritch-
ie this week
