RUMORED RAILROAD WAR.
Reported Union Pacific May Invade
Northern Pacific Territory.

Following the elimination of Edward II.
Hartman from the directorate Of the
Northern Securities Company and the prob
able retirement from the board of Jacob H.
Schiff and James Stillman, the only remain
ing representatives of the Union Pacific in
terests, railroad and financial circles have
placed new construction on the proposed
authorization of $10O,OO0,OOO in new Union
Pacific preferred stock.
According to a statement made In New
York yesterday by leading railroad au-
thority, it is not improbable that at least
a portion of the preferred stock issue Is to
provide the sinews of war for great rail-
road contest for the supremacy of the
northwest to be launched by the Hartman
interests against James j. Hill.
There are indications, 1t Is said, that the
funds will be expended In constructing a
network of branch lines from the Union Pa
cfic into Northern Pacific territory.
1t is expected that this action will be
met at once by James J. Hill by the inva-
sion of Union Pacific territory with extern
sions from the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad.
If a northwestern railroad war Is to be
precipitated railroad circles would not be
surprised if Hartman representatives re-
tired from the directorateS of other Hill
properties. The Burlington would play a
conspicuous part in the contest. Mr.. Har-
riman, James Stillman, Mr. Schiff and Col.
William 2. Clough are members of its board
of directors

THE CUNARD LINE.
Annual Meeting of Shareholders in
Liverpool Today.


LIVERPOOL, April 13.-At the annual
meeting of the SHAREHOLDERS of the Cunard
Line today Leonard Invercylde, chairman
of the company, announced that the ship
ping combine had intimated it's inability
to carry out one of the most anti-clauses
of the settlement recently arrived at, and
consequently all tentative arrangements
between the Cunard Line and the CONT
mental lines and the combine were inopera-
tive. Lord Inverclyde was unable to say if
the present rates would be maintained.
He considered that the policy the Cunard
Line followed in the past was the only pos
sible one and believed that the Atlantic
shipping combine was aimed directly
against the Cunard Line.
Beyond the loss of revenue caused by the
rate war, Lord Inverclyde stated that he
did not regret a single step taken. There
was at present no agreement between the
Cunard Line and the combine. The only
effect of the tentative agreements was that
passenger rates were restored to their old
level.
would not regret the sacrifices necessary to
maintain the independence of the Cunard
Line against the alliance formed against 1t.
The directors had received encouragement,
both here and from America, to continue
to defend the company's interests. The
chairman also referred to the governm entail
support of the German lines as indicating
the severity of the struggle

NEW YORK, April 13. - One man was

Wounded:

- Weston, waiter.
party of eight men and one woman seat
ed at a table became disorderly and were re-
fused service by order of the proprietors.
They refused to leave and a waiter removed
the table.
One of the men drew a knife and began
cutting right and left. Joyce received in
juries which quickly proved mortal. There
were seventy-five persons in the place and
the battle caused considerable excitement
Many of the participants had fed before the
police arrived.
William F. Quincy, one of the proprietors
of the place, and four walters have been ar
rested as witnesses. They declare that no
weapons We're used by them and that what
ever they did during the struggle was done
in Self-defense.
Among those who escaped was the man
who did the cutting. Two women are said
to be at the bottom of the trouble. One of
them appeared at the fathskeller early this
morning, accompanied by eight men. The
woman ordered champagne freely. For half
an hour nothing out of the ordinary oc-
CURED, but when girl who had been sit
ting at a nearby table attempted TO join
the party trouble began at once. Some of
the men received her graciously, but the
others objected and within minute row
was in progress.
Finally one of the men kicked the girl and
told her to get out before something worse
happened to her. By this time the place
was in an uproar and the walters crowded
around the table and ordered the disturbers
to leave. The men then turned on the wait
ers, and the latter were getting the worst of
it when Doyle went to their assistance.
For a few minutes the fighters struggled
from one end of the room to the other. One
of the strangers, according to the story told
by the men held as witnesses, drew a long
knife and plunged 1t its full length first into
Joyce's breast and through his heart and
then into Weston and Doyle.
When the crowd saw Joyce fall they ran
for the exits, and the men and woman who
had caused the disturbance went with them
and scattered in all directions before the
alarm was given and the police reached the
scene.
