it is further stated that there will be

leaders over the recommendation for
federal appointments.
Thus far there are only four openly

interested in Georgia affairs.
1t is known that the President. on
one occasion at least, within the last
ten days, mentioned the subject of
the Savannah collectorship to a visit

Gary, of the United States Steel COR
poration, announced to-day that the
properties heretofore secured by the
managers of the Pocahontas Coal Syn
dictate, consisting of about 100000 acres

lands had been leased on a royalty
basis to companies whose capital stock
is owned or controlled by the United

said that within the comparatively
near future there would be constructed
at least 800 of the most modern coke
ovens. with a capacity of at least one
and a half millions tons of coke, to-
gether with necessary railroads, tip
pies, Water-works, electric plants,
power plants. residences, stores and
other improvements. The companies
controlled by the United States Steel
Corporation by this lease secured suffi-
cient coal to provide, on the present

PREFERRED STOCK RETIRED.
Northern Pacific Company Proceeds
with the Readjustment Plan.


New York, Jan. 2.-Formal notice
was issued to-day that in exercise of
the power conferred upon it, the North
ern Pacific Railway Company retired
its preferred stock in whole yester-
day. Each and every holder of GER
tificate for preferred stock not here
tofore surrendered will, upon presen-
tation and surrender of his certificate
at the office of the company, No. 40
Wall street, receive payment in cash
at par. Except as to this claim, all
rights and claims of the preferred
stockholders have ceased to exist.
Notice was also given by the North
eYn Pacific Railway Company that it
had elected to require the holder of ev-
cry per cent. convertible certificate of
the company to convert the same into
common stock of the company at the
rate of one share of $500 for each 500
of the unpaid principal of the certifi-
cate and upon presentation and sur
render of such certificate at the COM
pany's office the holder will be entitled
70 receive therefor common stock of
the company at the rate aforesaid. No
interest will accrue or be payable
upon any such certificate from and
after Jan. 1, 1902. These notices showed
that from and after to-day the capital
stock of the company would consist
of S155. 900 900 entirely of common stock,
and that the bonds and certificates
issued to provide for the retirement of
the preferred stock would be retired
Immediately. The effect of this was
to put what was formerly preferred
stock on the same basis as the old
common.
All of the Northern Pacific stock is
to be taken over by the Northern Sc
curities Company, which will also ac-
qure all of the stock of the Great
Northern. The Northern Securities
COMPANY will thus hold the stock GER
tificate of two great companies in the
Northwestern field, and under the set
tlement agreed upon between the con-
tending interests for control in that
field. will administer the properties in
its charge to the end that harmony
may prevail.
The belief in Wall street was general
to-day that the rapid retirement of
the Northern Pacific preferred stock
followed by the redemption of the
bonds issued for it's retirement. had
removed the obstacles in the way of
the carrying out of the plan for the
adjustment of the difficulties which
grew out of the contest for the con-
troll of Northern Pacific last May. 1t
was this contest and a sensational rise
of Northern Pacific common to $1,000
a share which brought about the sem
sat;onal decline in the prices of other
securities on May 8.
