 THE JOURNAL.
 In response to the above telegram, President Spencer vii back as follows;
 New York, February 3.--Atlanta Jour nal. Atlanta. Ga. Your message received There is absolutely no foundation for the Ns''' S. SPENCER.
 The New York Commercial has the fol- lowing to say regarding the rumored change of the Frisco:

Information from other sources is such as to Indicate that no such proposition has been or will be made. Possibly something akin to traffic alliance may be suggested, but whether such is the case has not been disclosed.
 "On the other hand, there Is another phase of the mystery enveioping Frisco affairs and puzzling the speculative ele- ment which the Commercial believes 1t can clear up to some extent. There Is substantial basis for the street rumor that J. P. Morgan has concluded to CO., operate with the controlling powers of the Frisco and be represented in the pool or voting trust dominated by President Yoakum It is learned from authentic sources that MT. Morgan Is satisfied that the wonderful development or the prop erty is such as to command his confi- dence and support of the controlling ele- ment.'
 The following came over the Associated Press wire last night:
 New York, February 4. = Information from semi-offcial sources today shows that an alliance or agreement of some sort has been entered into between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific on the one hand and the Rock Island on the other. Most of the important points have been agreed upon and an official an- nouncement of the scheme is expected in a few days.
