President ID. S. Lamont was in close
conference until after dark with sew
eral directors of the Northern Pacific
and associates of Mr.. Hill, and de-
yelopments are expected soon.
Mr.. Hill was in Wall street all day.
James Stillman, president of the Ma
tional City bank, the depository of the
Standard Oil company, was one OF his
many callers.
my plans have been greatly exag-
gerated and a great deal that is untrue
has been published about what | in
tend to do" said Mr.. Hill. II do not
contemplate any great deal, such as
has been attributed to me. / did not
come TO New York to see Mr.. Morgan.
/ have not seen Mr. Morgan today and
have no engagement to see him either
today or tomorrow.
''One OF the main objects of my trip
is to consult with the contractors who
are building two steamships at New
London for my line. We need a large
fleet for our lake traffic, as 1t is grow
ing very rapidly, and we are having
two splendid vessels constructed.
81 am trying to bring about agree
ments between the western roads
which will prevent friction and make
the operation of the lines more eco
nomical. In other words, an under
standing by which they may save
money. The less friction there is
among railroads the better it will be
for all of us.
II am a believer in railroad con-
solidation when it is advantageous. 1t
is the inevitable policy Of the roads
sooner or later. Railroads, just like
all other lines of business, should be
run as economically as possible. How
ever, my plans have been so greatly
misrepresented that have made up my
mind that silence is the best policy
Mr.. Hill did not attend the meeting
of the Northern Pacific directors. but
he saw Mr.. Lamont just afterward.
Mr.. Hill went down town from the
Hotel Netherland at 10 o'clock. He
spent two busy hours at his Office ard
received among other visitors j. II.
Schiff, who is deeply interested in
Union Pacific, and Il. II. Hartman,
chairman of the advisory board of the
western roads. Just after noon Mr..
Hill attended directors meeting at
the Chase National bank.
The wiseacres noted the arrival In
the city of Norman B. Ream, of Chi
cago, said to be slated to go into the
st. Paul directory, together with MIR.
Hill. He is connected closely with the
Hill-Morgan management of the Erie
and Baltimore and Ohio. and there are
those who suspected that Mr.. Ream
came east to confer with Mr.. Hill.
In railroad circles 1t was reported
that MFR. Hill would succeed p. ID. Ar
mour in the directory of the Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad. This.
however, was only one of the thou
sand and one railroad rumors afloat
during the day.

Spring Valley, Ills, Sept. %.
Twenty anarchists, armed with

600 rounds of ammunition are
standing guard over the Office of
Il AurorS, the notorious anarchist
publication which expressed Joy
at the mul der of President Nc
Kinley and satisfaction of tho an
nouncement of Assassin Czolgosz
that he was an anarchist. Fully
1900 citizens of adjoining towns
have sent word to the authorities
here that they are ready and sx-
tremely anxisusIy to start at 4
moments notice from this city
and assist in sxterminating the
reds. The temper of the people
here is ut the boiling point, the
defiant attitude of the anarchist
colony serving to increase the
anger. Tomorrow committee
will wait upon General Manager
DaIzell of the Springvallsw Coal
company, who resides in Chicago,
and insist that he discharge every
known anarchist in his employ.
The anarchists and their sympa-
thlzers number fully 5000 and if
this step is taken it will mean
that one or two mines will have
to close down until other men can
be brought in.
