WAR MAY BE OVER SOON.
POSSIBLE SETTLEMENT OF THE BATTLE
OVER ". p. CONTROL

While no formal and official statement can
be obtained from representatives Of either side
there is good ground for believing that the war
fare between the Morgan-Hili and Hartman
Kuhn-Loeb interests over the control OF the
Northern Pacific road is in n fair way OF set
Element Mr.. Hartman called yesterday at the
Office Of J. p. Morgan & Co. and, It is under
stood. had extended conversation by cable
with Mr.. Morgan in London
An interest closely affiliated with the Harri-
man syndicate said yesterday. in discussing the
Northern Pacific situation
There has been no quarrel. There has been sim

business interests viii he done, and that means
done.
1t IS now generally believed IN the financial
district that Kuha. Loeb & Co. as the repre-
sentatves Of ;he Union Pacific interests. hold
a majority Of the total stock Of the Northern
Pacific Railway Company which consists Of
SSooO0,OOO common and S75OOOOoO preferred.
II is also understood that J. F. Morgan & Co.
hold a majority OF the common stock The
retirement OF the preferred stock would in this
state Of affairs leave the Morgan Hin party in
control Of the property. although owning less
than a majority q the aggregate stock The
plan Of reorganization says that the company
may retire the preferred stock In whole or in
January up to and including January /. 1917"
The question thus arises, What is the com
pany''? The contention OF the legal advisers OF
Kuhn Loeb & Co is understood TO be that II
consists Of all the holders OF the stock both
common and preferred and II that view is cor
rect the Hartman Kuhn. Loeb party will be
able at the annual meeting 10 elect n board
of directors representing their interests and
viii decide whether not To retire the pre-
ferred stock on January l. 1902
An opposing Interpretation OF the clause IS
said 10 be held by the counsel OF j. T. Morgan
& Co. their theory being that the provision for
retirement Of the preferred stock implies the
superiority OF the common. II is said 10 be not
likely. however that the courts will be called
upon TO decide the point.
It is learned that advlces were received here
yesterday from Mr. Morgan. TO the effect that
the situation in London is decidedly better and

IDEA NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY IN OFFICIAL
EUROPEAN CIRCLES.
London, May 14.-WhiIe the German Austrian
PROPOSALS for an anti-American combination
have not yet assumed anything like definite
form. the idea is attracting considerable atten-
ton both in Great Britain and also on the Cont
nent. where the newspapers have eagerly swal-
lowed an alleged interview in which J, Pierpont
Morgan IS quoted as declaring that "he and his
associates would not only swamp British trade
but would paralyze German competition as
WELL
The reports of an Austro-German retaliatory
movement therefore, find much favor among
the Continental newspapers, though there is
little evidence that It has yet acquired any prac-
tical official backing.
The opinion here is that German official circles
are using the peril Of American competition
as a battle cry TO bring the Agrarians into line
on the Canal biI and that il is also employed
10 emphasize the profit from the commercial
friendship Of Germany and Russia, who" II is
urged by the Cologne Gazette, If they could
reach a commercial unders landing, could with
out the rest of Europe put such pressure on
America that she would be forced 10 accommo-
date her policy TO that of the European COM
mercial system.

Manila. May 1.-THE Civil Commission has
appointed Captain Arlington L. Belts, Of the
47th Volunteer Infantry, TO be civil governor of
Albay Province. Lieutenant Howard Lee
Landers. of the 41st Infantry, has been appoint
ed treasurer OF the same province. Lieutenant
w. o. Thornton, of the 3Sth Infantry. has been
appointed treasurer of the province of Capiz in
Panay Island, vice Lieutenant Marion c. Raysor,
who is i'll.
Detectives and the police have broken up a
band of American brigands who have been oper-
ating in the province of Pampanga. north Of and
not far from Manila. George Raymond. Ulrich
Rogers and Oscar Mushmiller have been capt
ured and Andrew Martin, Peter Heise. George
Muhn and two others are st:l being pursued.
This band committed murder and rape at Ba-
color. Pampanga Province. and in that vicinity.
and on Sunday last they killed Henry Dow, an
American The band sometimes represented
themselves as American deserters and again as
American soldiers George Raymond wore the
uniform of a captain. Raymond and Martin
were formerly policemen in Manila.
Since the object of the Federalists, peace and
American sovereignty. is nearly accomplished
the party's future is discussed. Under the COM
ing government TO be composed of appointiVe
officials. there will be slight use for party ac-
tivity outside of the municipal elections. The
leaders hope the party will be considered as the
semi-official medium between the government
and the masses. They are at present endeaVoT-
ing TO obtain the release Of thousand prls-
oners who were convicted OF purely political Of
fences, the contention being that these should
have the same amnesty those who were re-
leased when awaiting trial.
The appearance OF insular issues will quickly
result in the actual formation of projected oppo-
sition parties.
Fifty insurgents were captured this week in
