INTERESTING RAILROAD GOSSIP

New York. Sept. 26-Runnor, of
troube betwees the Rockefeller-Gouid
6Imbination and the so-called Harri
man group of flnanciers. which have
hpen whispered about in Wall street
mrseyeral days, found confirmation
in several Well-iuformed quarters and
also in the stock market. The market
broke sharply. while. without any ap-
narent reason, Union Pacific displayed
Extraordinary strength. recalling the
first stage of the Northern Pacific cor.
aer of 1901.
The differences OF opinion between
these two great camps Of capitalists
have been. it is learned gradually
widening, and have now reached a
stage where they can be described as
very nearly acute The latest trouble
. has been. so it is understood, due to
the desire of the Rockefeller interests
to get larger return on their heavy
holdings of Union Pacific stock. This
stock now pays only per cent, al
though the road is earning enough
to make the payment of > per cent div
idends matter which would not in
the least strain it's treasury.
The reason for Harrimans unwi-
lingness to pay . per cent, according
to the best information obtanable. is
that he fears such increase would re-
suit in the conversion into common
stock of $4,000 600 of bonds. necessi-
tating the acquisition by himself and
his associates of some sii0,0oo, ,ooo
rore of that stock in order to be
certain of absolute control Of the road.
} A number of moves by Standard
l3Oil which can hardly be considered
friendly to the Hartman interests,
have been detected lately. The most
recent and the most important was
the entrance into the board OF West

Rockefeller.Gould Communication and
the renewal reports Of the contem-
plated extension to the Pacific of the

which is to extend the Gould system
to the Pacific coast. Surveys for the
latter extension we're completed sew

hurried. Instead, the St. Paul was to
have traffic exchange with the
Union Pacific
This was in the days when the Rock

has been an open secret that the ben

completed, will be direct rival OF the

branch Since the election OF Gouio
Rockefeller representatives to the
board of directors of that road the
project ceases as a paper railroad ana

OF the Central Pacific. The unfrlend'y
purpose of this project toward the
Hartman lines has become especially
apparent since the election to the ooafo
