Hens are not animals. IN the meaning
of the tariff act. according TO "A decision
just made in New York by the Unit a
States board Of general appraisers. This
ruling was made in spite Of the fact It
contradicts a Boston idea as 10 what
English signifies.
Twenty-three boxes Of hens were i'm
ported into Boston, and the importer
protested when they were assessed 3
cents a pound as live poultry. He con-
tended they should come in free as ami

FUTURE OF MERGER
NOW Determined
Northern Securities Capital
Cut SO Per Cent.
KEEPS OUTSIDE ASSETS
Original Holders of Great Northern and
Northern Pacific to Have Their
Shares Returned.

NEW YORK. March 23-The long-ex-
Pected statement regarding the future
or the Northern Securities Company
was finally made public late yesterday
afternoon. 1t is in the shape of cir
cular to stockholders, and is signed by
James J. Hill as president, and Edward
T. Nichols, as secretary.
The scheme is 10 continue the COM
I.anys existence. but TO reduce the cap
tIal stock of the company by 80 per cent,
leaving only enough stock to represent
the assets of the company, which have
80 connection with either Northern Pa
cific or Great Northern. but which,
amounting 10 nearly $4,000. 600, consist of
other securities. Under the plan each
holder Of one share of Northern Secu-
rites gets 1897 par value of Northern
Pacific and S3o.15 par, value of Great
Northern stock.
Figured at a value of $50 for Great
Northern and rs for Northern Pacific
each share of Northern Securities gets
$45.16 in Northern Pacific and $54.27 in
Great Northern, a total of 1913. OF
every hundred shares ninety-nine are
so exchanged, the remaining share rep
resenting the interest in the remaining
assets. or about S157.
New Facts Disclosed.
The circular disclOses one or two facts
not previously known. The authorized
capital stock of the Northern Securities
Company is $500. 900. COO and the last
number of the standard Investors Sup
plement' of January 90, gives the
amount OF TIE stock outstanding at
$S64S67. $40. Within the last six or seven
weeks, therefore. more than $50, 600, 600 ad-
ditiOnal Of the stock has been issued, as
the total IS given in the official circular
as 1895 800 000 Evidently too, there has
recently been a great deal of Great
Northern stock exchanged into Northern
securities, as statements understood to
be authentic two months ago placed the
amount of Great Northern stock turned
In al about IS per cent of the total SPA
COZ. 200 outstanding. while a computation
based on the figures of the circular
shows that the Northern Securities
COnDauy now owns about SIS 000. 600 Of
tho Great Northern stock, or approx
metcIy 80 per cent
At the close of the memorable contest
for control of the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company in the spring OF 1901 il
was found that the Union Pacific,
through the Oregon Short Line Railroad
Company. had acquired S4l, 0S5, 600 pre-
ferrCd and So. 023. coo common stock of
the Northern Pacific OF in all SIS. Jos, 600
OF the 1856. 00O. coo combined preferred and
common shares, a trifie more than con-
troll.
