The Magnate Said to Have Made
Immense Sum in the
Merger Deal.
NORTHERN SECURITIES STOCK
Some Interesting Facts Disclosed at the
Hearing in New York in the Case of
Minnesota Against the Big Railroad
Combination = Statement of the
Transactions.

-
ern Securities company merger of the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific railroads were made known at a
hearing in the federal building yester-
cay in the case of the state of Mime
sofa against the combination.
An interesting feature of the testi-
mony of E. T. Nichols, secretary treas
urer of the Northern Securities COM
pany, was the description of the various
& Co. acted as intermediary in the at
fairs of the Northern Securities COM
pany. 1t was testified that this bank
ing house acted variously as an institu-
ton of deposit and of discount, in
fiduciary capacity, and as fiscal agent.
When the merger was formed these
bankers sold to the Northern Securi-
ties company, acting for p. II. Harrl-
man and others, a large amount OF
Northern Pacific stock. That was paid
for in Northern Securities stock in adj
dition to some $9,000,006 cash, which
was borrowed for the purpose from }.
+. Morgan q Co.
Later J. P. Morgan & Co., as fiscal
agent, redeemed for the Northern Pa
cific railroad company some $4,000 600
OF the preferred stock of that corpora
ton, paying check to the Northern
Securities company. That check was
deposited with ]. p. Morgan & Co., and
with check upon that banking house
the Northern Securities company paid
for some $34,000,000 In convertible
bonds of the Northern Pacific railroad,
which were subsequently exchanged
thru j. p Morgan & Co. for common
stock OF the railroad corporation.
Just before giving his testimony Sec
rotary Nichols presented statement of
the cash transactions of the Northern
Securities company from the date of
organization until Feb. rs, 1902. This
is the first statement of any kind con-
corning the transactions of this cor
poration to be made public. 1t was as

Prince Henry viii Have Time
WithNewspaper Boys.

But viii Give Them Few Tips
on the Side.

Berlin, Jan. 25.-When Emperor William
bids Prince Henry of Prussia farewell
prior to the latter's departure for the
United States. their parting VIII be a
simple private affair. No speeches for
publication will be exchanged. The leave
taking will assume the form of a mill
tary act, in which an officer receives the
last instructions from his sovereign be-
fore going on an important mission. It
is understood that his majesty viii give
Price Henry written memoranda of
what he wishes his royal brother to com
rnunicate to President Roosevelt. Prince
Henry, who is now here, Will return to
Kiel February 10 and remain there until
he goes 10 Bremen TO embark for the
United States. The various members Of
the Princes party VIII assemble at Bre-
men February l. The sailing Of Prince
Henry wiz not be marked by any special
ceremony nor, so far as known. viii any
any member Of the royal house see the
prince off
The foregoing are the arrangements as
communicated to the correspondent OF
the Associated Press today, but il is stin
quite possible that Emperor William VIII
disregard the program and bid farewell
to his brother in a more public manner
at Bremen. This, at least. is the hope
of some member Of the suite. The din
ner to be given in Prince Henry's honor
under the auspices of the New York
Staats Zeitung. to the press Of the United
States IS the feature of the Princes di-
version which is attracting the most at
tention here, Prince Henry himself ask
ed particularly about this feature of the
program. and when told that some of the
editors would probably travel three thou
sand miles to be present he expressed
wonder.
DR. Barth says. in the Nation today:
"That Prince Henry, as the representa-
tive of the German emperor comes in i'm
mediate contact with the press is q par
ticularly happy thought. The modern
spirit inspiring the whole expedition is
brought sharply into view through the
Emperor's brother becoming the guests
of Journalists"
Prince Henry's attitude toward the
press when in the United States has been
the subject OF consideration by his coun-
sellors. While the prince wiz not be in
terview. he desires to show respect for
the pro session. and VIII give an aud.
ience to the newspaper men, with the
understanding that he is not to be quoted.
What the prince has to say will be is
sued through the Official channels. Every
detail of the trip interests Emperor Viii

His majesty has taken the leading New

Report Favoring Acceptance Of Pana

Report Favoring Acceptance Of Pana-
ma Offers Give the Lion 4 Pain.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The report OF the
isthmian canal compission at Washing
ton favoring the acceptance Of the offer
Of the Panama company to sell its prop
erty and rights to the United States for
S4o. .oo0.0e0. causes some unkindly COM
ment here. The Saturday Review says:
The Americans can do one thing TO per-
fection-they can drive a hard bargain.
The sufferer on this occasion is France,
which was completely hoodwinked by the
American bluff. The Panama directors
have agreed to sell their rights for 81
G000oO and the United States VIII jump
at the proposal. The Americans have
made a very good bargain; better. per-
haps. than is seemly in other notional
dealings.
The Outlook, somewhat in the same
vein, says: With extreme cleverness the
americans under cover Of establishing {
great national principle. made the French
owners of the Panama route eager to
sell their property. The Americans were
perfectly persuaded all along that the
Panama route was the better one, in al
most every particular The thrifty
Frenchman, out of whose pocket the
money was original wheedled. must grin
and bear this final share as best he may.
Completed by American snap and ener-
gy. the canal will be a boom to interna-
tional commerce and will probably give
an impetus to the construction of the
American merchant marine, with a navy
