FORM Of MERGER

COMBlEE WITH OTHER ROADS
The New York Central and North
western in the Deal-Effect of the
Announcement on Roads Common
Stock.

NEW YORK--The intention to in
crease the preferred stock of Union
Pacific by s1OO,0OO,OOO was not known
to the Wall street public until We'd
nesday and was a general surprise.
This incident formed the central point.
of interest in the days stock market.
Union Pacific has been the subject
of gossip and surmise for many
months. during the course of its re-
markable rise, but none of the nu-
merous conjectures regarding it
pointed to the measure announced
Wednesday, This fact in itself caused
a doubt that large part of the re-
ports which have circulated regard
ing this stock were ill-informed. The
effect on the common stock was UNI
favorable, as was not unnatural, in
view of the prior privilege of the pre-
ferred stock. now to be doubled in
amount to dividends TO the extent of
4 per cent. The common stock was Of
fered heavily both for domestic and
foreign account. 1t was vigorously sup
ported, however, all day Brokers' be-
fore the opening were making offers
to take all the stock that anyone
would sell, and the same brokers were
diligent buyers up to the level of last
night. The support was then relaxed
again, but renewed at any periods Of
acute weakness.
Officials of the company declined to
add anything to the official circular
the proceeds OF the stocks are to be
used or as to the proposed time for
issuing it. Assertions were freely
made. however, among the spectators
in the stock that the project had to
do with the proposed combination of
Union Pacific with New York Central
and Chicago & Northwestern. 1t was
pointed out that President Hartman,
in maintaining the wisdom of seeking
financing capital requirements
through the issue of stock rather than
through the creation OF fixed interest,
bearing obligationss. had interjected
into the official circular the remark.
especially such as arise in connec-
ton with the acquisition of stocks of
other companies This was adduced
to indicate that IA merger project was
in view, but Wall street had formed
the opinion that the supposed merger
was to be accomplished by the ex
change of bonds of holding company
for existing securities, which would
not involve great outlay of cash
The prospect of Sl0.000,0O0 block Of
new stock, therefore. came as a shock
to sentiment and emphasized the eff
feet of the huge volume of issues
which is being added to constantly
from many sources.

DISCUSSES MUKDEN BATTLE
Russian Soldiers Held Up as Equal to
Japanese Troops-Peace Negotia'
lions for the Time Being Appear to
BE off.

ST. PETERSBURG-War Minister
Sakarom. in an interview, declares
that the reports of Russia counter
handing orders for war material
abroad are baselcss and grow out OF
the dcclination of the foreign offers
with which the war Office and the ad-
miralty have been swamped. He in
sists that there has been no relaXa-
ton i'm the preparations to continue
the war, but says there will be no
new mobilization at present, explain
ing, as stated in these dispatches, that
10000 troops OF the last mobilization
have already started for the front
and that instead Of moblizing new
troops these will be followed by a
portion of this years conscripts.
General Sakaroff denied emphatic
ally that he ever intrigued against
General KOuropatkin, affirming that
he gave the latter the most loyal sup.
port. At the same time, in discussing
the battle OF Mukden, Sakaroff declar-
ed that the men and material of the
Russian army were equal to those OF
the Japanese, forcing the reluctant
conclusion that the japanese general
ship was superior TO the Russians,
In denying the popular impression
that a large proportion Of army re-
serve men were sent to the front. SAX
aroff made the important admission
that reserve men we're only sent in the
early stages of the war, before we
had assurances from Europe" which
Is interpreted as confession that an
arrangement was made with Germany
for covering the frontier of Poland
The announcement that President
Roosevelt has left Washington on a
vacation trip is accepted here as evil
dence that the efforts to draw Russia
and Japan into peace negotiations
have come to grief for the moment.
No definite explanation of exactly
what happened is forthcoming but
the general impression is that Japan
either declined to treat upon the Rus
sian basis or demanded direct
avowal that there was a pacific dispo-
sition. AT any rate the advocates OF
a continuation of the war seem Sc
cure of their position and everything
indicates that the hope of an immdi'
ate change of fortune is staked on
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, whose

ATHE TEAKWOOD TABLEs
BY ARTHUR COTTONWOOD


nj was a small, round table, it's top
and its bulging legs quantity in
laid with mother of pearl. Claver-
ing drew it from it's dusky corner and
placing IT in the middle of the little
shop stood admiring it's graceful lines.
There were other teakwood tables,
scores of them, but they were no more
like this dainty bit of oriental art than
chrome was like a Corot. 1t was just
such table as Clavering had had in
his minds eye for some time.
He turned to Bung Wah.s the stolid
proprietor OF the place, who was fol-
lowing him about the shop obse-
quiously.
I'll take this table, Bung," he said.
How much is it,"
The celestial shook his head slowly.
Lat slold." he said, pointing a slim
finger at the table.
Sold, eh?" said Clavering. who
bought it? Where can 1 see him?"
Bung Wah's eyes frightened behind
his huge silver spectacles.
Great lady bluy him. he said.
"A LADY," said Clavering.
Bung Wah nodded.
CLONE glet him today" he went on
"Mebbe flour o'clock: mebbe five"
Clavering drew out his watch. 1t
was quarter of 4.
"All right. said he. I'll wait here
and see her. I want that table, Bung."
Clavering poked about the shop with
all the freedom of q favored customer
There was much to claim his interest
queer bits of ivory carving, hideous
masks, old coins and an abundance of
canton bowls and vases; but every few
minutes he returned to the lockwood
table to make a fresh inspection of it,
and with each inspection his desire to
possess it grew accordingly.
1t was half past when a carriage
drew up to the curb before Bung
Wah's shop and a smiling young wom-
an entered. Clavering could not see
her face in the half gloom of the place.
but that she was the purchaser of the
table he was assured by Bung's dis
Greet cough.
"Ah. there it is" she said approach
ing the table. I'll take 1t now"
Clavering stepped out OF the shadows
at the back of the shop and came for
ward. AS he reached the table the
young woman turned; he caught sight
of her face and stopped short in sur
prise.

gracious smile and Bung bowed cere-

Have you been telling Bung the
price he asks is ridiculously small for
such bit Of work." she laughed.
He shook his head.
L don't even know what the price
was. But do know that I'm prepared
to offer quite an advance on the orig
mai hgures for the table"
She looked at the table lovingly.
Nothing would tempt me to part
with it," she said.
Il don't blame you" said Clavering.

top with her finger tips.

When does all this take place. Mr..
Clavering?' she asked. Il haven't so
much as heard rumors."
Probably not" said he. 'It isn't
announced yet"
I see,' she said, quietly.
Il haven't even asked her." said
Clavering. He came a step nearer
But L do now" he whispered in her
ear.
The girl started. paled a little, and
then grew very red. Bung, the soul of
discretion. withdrew to his little Gagged
desk and pretended to busy himself
with some papers. The girls eyes
were fixed intently on the table.
I've pictured making the house UP
by the river a veritable museum of
oriental art" said he. I've dreamed
IF filling it with all sorts of quaint
bits of furniture like this; and I've
dreamed of you as curator of the mu-
eum-and-and-of me. Have my
dreams been rash?"
The girl lifted her eyes and smiled
frankly.
No" she said. slowly Perhaps
perhaps your dreams will come true"
She stepped quickly to the little desk
behind the cage.
"Bung.' she said. you may send the
table wherever Mr.. Clavering orders"
Bung rose and took up Canton vase
of exquisite design He placed il in
the girls hands.
"Gleat haplinessl" he chuckled, with
his most ceremonious obeisance.

EXPLAINS EXPENSES
d. A. r. Board of Managers on
Memorial Continental Hall

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The fol-
lowing statement was published today
by order of the board of management
of the National Society of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution:
So much publicity has been given to the
fact that the board of management has
appropriated $500 for putting Memorial
Continental hall into condition for the
fourteenth continental congress, and such
general misunderstanding seems to exist
as to the use to which the money will be
put, that the board OF management has
reluctantly felt obliged to issue a public
statement in regard to the detailed ex-
penditure of this money. The last con-
tract given out by the building committee
was for S95. 600. This included the con-
struction OF the auditorium. lobby and
other rooms and nearly exhausted the
permanent fund-not the current fund
of the society. Under the constitution OF
the society no debt can be incurred and
while that much remains in the treasury
OF the society. IL Is not at the disposal
OF the building committee.
In order, therefore. to place the hall in
a proper condition To hold the congress
there II was necessary TO complete certain
other permanent features. such as the
plumbing. electric lighting. gas and wa
ter systems. the setting OF the glass roof
OF the auditorium. the heating apparatus
and many other permanent features not
included in the contract This has ex-
hausted the fund at the disposal OF the
building committee. The board of man
agement decided that il would be entirely
proper to appropriate from the current
fund such amounts as could be properly
charged TO congressional expenditure The
amount appropriated for these expendi-
lures made necessary. IL the congress Is to
be held in Continental hall. is no larger
than the annual appropriation heretofore
made for this purpose from the current
fund while we have the additional salts
faction of knowing that by far the great
ef portion Of this expense IS for perma-
nent work on Continental hall, not for
rent and alterations OF a theater belong
ing to someone else. which is used by our
society for one week only.
