the convention Of the Ancient Order OF
Hibernans today in regard to the deposing
OF Dr. Richard Henneberry as professor

tically put an end to the agitation for
the professors reinstatement. The bishop
said the fact that Arbishop ireland and
four more of the most prominent and best
beloved churchmen In the United States
were the principal sponsors for the insti-
tuition, was an evidence to the Irish people
that It has been conducted properly. II
was the desire of the college authorities
to continue the Gaelic chair, which had
been established with $4,000 donted by
the Hibernians. DR.. Dunn was being edu-
Gated at the Gaelic schools in Europe for
the purpose Of taking the chair. At pres
ent a Gaelic professor from Harvard col
lege. who had volunteered to teach the
Irish language, was at work in the unl-
versity.
Bishop Conaty also made an address to
the Ladies' auxiliary. in which he urged
the women to follow the example of the
men In endowing a chair OF Gaelic in the
university and make an appropriation to
endow a chair in Trinity college. The
women will begin work at once to raise the
money.

Hilary 1t provides for an advisory board
of women, who shall sit in Joint session
with the national directory, and shall in

sent Of the men.

T. Heating delivered his report TO the
convention. The announcement was made,
however, that It would not be made public
until after its consideration by the direc-
tors tomorrow.

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE nrst otheial
step has been taken In the case Of General
Bragg United States consul general az Ha-
vana. The State department has heard from
Mr. Squiers. our minister 70 Cuba, on this

cial criticism; that he had a right to say
anything he pleased In personal letter TO
his wife. and no one had q right to question
her respecting the publication.

not either admit or deny the accuracy OF

UNION PACIFIC HAS PLAN
Arrangement for Purchase Of Northern
Pacific and Southern Pacific Stock.
WILL -, INCREASE BONDED DEBT

slight Il by
subscA

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Union Pa
cific Railroad company announces a plan
for financing the balance of its purchases
Of Northern and Southern Pacific shares.
A year and half ago extensive purchases
Of Northern Pacific stock were made In
the Interest Of the Union Pacific COM
pany and the shares acquired were vested
in the Oregon Short Line company. They
now consist of Northern Securities stock,
for which the Northern Pacific shares have
been exchanged.
Since that time the Union Pacific COM
pany has also increased its holdings of
Southern Pacific stock. The Oregon Short
Line Railway company has created an
issue OF 4 per cent and participating
twenty-hve-year gold bonds, which are to
be secured by the pledge aud deposit with
the Equitable Trust company OF New York.
as trustee. OF ten shares Of Northern Sc
curities stock for every $1,000 face value
Of bonds issued. The bonds carry per
cent interest. payable semi-annually, and.
beginning with the year 1903. are entitled
to any dividends and interest which may
be paid In cash during each year upon the
deposited collateral in excess of per
cent upon the amount of bonds outstand-
ing. The Short Line company has the
option to redeem the bonds at 1921 and
interest. upon any interest day, upon Civ
ing at least three months notice, the
bonds 80 redeemed to be drawn by lot.
The present issue Of these bonds will be
s31, 10000 and holders Of the preferred
and common stock of the Union Pacific
Railway company of record on August !,
have the privilege Of subscribing to those
bonds at 80 and interest to the extent
OF 80 per cent of the par value Of their
stock. Arrangements have been made for
the sale of such bonds as are not taken
by the stockholders. Subscriptions must
be made before the close OF business Au-
gust Is, and accompanied by the payment
of $3.50 for each bond. The balance due
must be paid on or before September 15.
Holders who desire to anticipate the sec
ond payments will be allowed discount
OF $1.66 per bond.
This transaction completes the purchase Of
Northern Pacific and Southern Pacifc stock
without increasing the bonded obligations
Of the Union Pacific company or its capital
account, and leaves the company in po-
sition to retire obligations before ma
turity at q slight premium. The rights to
subscribe to the new bonds are estimated
to be worth a little over 1 per cent TO
Union Pacific stockholders. This calcula-
tion is based on about 81 or 9S for the new
bonds.
