WESTERN ROADS SAFE.
Burlington Deal Will Not Be Allowed 10 Inter
iere With Them

New York. May 13.-The Evening
Post says: 1t is believed that some ar
engagements will be worked out by
which Burlington will be held so that
it cannot be possibly operated to in
jure any of the Western railroads.
That is. the Union Pacific will not
only get an interest in the property.
but the st. Paul. which, next to the
Union Pacific. was most seriously jeop-
ardized by the passing of Burlington':'
control to the Northern Trans-conti-
mental lines. will share i'm the Burling-
ton contract so that it will be removed
absolutely as disturbing factor in the
railway situation.
1t is not believed that J. p. Morgan
e. Co. will be displaced as the inter-
est responsible before the public for
that property's management. but there
was some suggestion. today, that the
alliance between Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Morgan, which has only been 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.

the older Northern Pacific people.

Abbhasia, Austria. May 13-king
Charles of Roumania, and King George

board the Greek warship Peara. The
object of the meeting in Austrian wa

among them is the need for two nom

Greece. to come to an understanding
in opposition to the Pan Slavonic
states of Servia and Bulgaria on the
Macedonian and other questions. King
Charles and King George have hither-
to never met.
Although the Greek and Roumanian
press both indulge in great eXpecta-

Of views and the strengthening of the
