C. & S. Is THE BUYER
Said to Have Purchased Moffat Road
to Secure Outlet From
Denver.
Especial to The Herald0

Colorado Springs, March 1S.-InfOrma-
ton was given out here today that the
Colorado & Southern had acquired the
Denver, Northwestern q Pacific known
as the Moffat road.
The reported purchase Of the Noffat
road is supported on the ground that the
Colorado q Southern people and not
the Gould Hartman crowd. will build the
W eStern Pacific To complete their plans
they must have an outlet from Denver
TO Salt Lake City. The Western Pacific,
II is pointed out, will be in direct compe-
Lake City TO the coast, and the people
pack Of ii desire connections with Salt
Lake City and Denver.
Edwin Hawley 3. +. Yoakurn and w.
II. Huntington are the men behind the
deal. said a railrOader who has inside in
given TO the Colorado & Southern and the
Moffat holdings, and the deal will be
finally closed and announced in "A short
time.
When ] NJ. Herbert left the Denver &.
Rio Grande he knew what he was DOING
said this man. Mr.. Herbert is generally
given credit for seeing far ahead. and
when he made this change he knew that
that HaWley-N Oakun-H Huntington crowd
would be the builders of the big line to
the coast What the Colorado & South
ern has already done in acquiring the
short line may be taken as an evidence of
further expansion. This deal with the
MOffat road has progressed beyond the
embryonic state"
The plans of the HawIey-Yoa<un-
Huntington syndicate are said 10 include
the whole western country. ne Moffat
road is the key by which they may open
the door to the contamination of their
plans. Without ii they would not be i'm
a position to compete directly with the
new Clark road.

In good order and destroying the rail-

pressed by the japanese, the rear

There were ominous words in the

We believe the Japanese are making
a wide turning movement north and
that they are ready to fall upon us

Chances of Escape.
In the long retreat to Hardin the
Russians only have the advantage Of
the Mandarin road as far as [aiyuan
whence it bears eastward to Kirin
while the railroad continues north to
Hardin. According to the general
staff. however. a good wagon road runs
parallel to the railroad. But for an
army Of a quarter of a million men, en-
numbered with impediments. with an
active enemy relentlessly pursuing and
operating on its TANKS the constant
threat Of the enemy closing the line of
retreat, it is admitted that the single
railroad and wagon road afford poor
prospects of General Linevitch being
able to bring off the remnants of the
army cOnfided to his care without a
tremendous sacrifice of life. If the
japanese actually succeeded in throw
ing strong force across the line of re-
treat, it is recognized that the army
might be forced to capitulate.
In the meantime. the mobilization of
q new army has already begun in sew
eral provinces, although the order has
not yet been published
A Lewiston of the imperial guards at
St. Petersburg was reviewed today
The newspapers generally endorse
Linevitch's selection as temporary COM
mander-in-chief on the ground that
KurOpatkin's lack of success made his
suppression imperative.
At the same time it is recognized
that KurOpatkin's failure also rests on
other shoulders and pity is expressed
at his sad fate.
