AFTER HARRIriAN'S HEAD.
Rumored Morgan and Hill Are Seek.
ing Revenge.

Rumored Morgan and Hill Are Seek.
ing Revenge.
New York, Jan. 19.-The theory
that J. P. Morgan and J. J. Hill are
secretly buying control Of Union Pa.
cific railroad system to retaliate on E.
H. Hartman and John D. Rockefeller
for snatching the Northern Pacific
away from them and forcing them to
club it out of their hands, is advanced.
There has been mysterious buying in
Union Pacific, and certain persons
claim to have evidence that the deal is
actually under way for shifting con.
troll of the Union Pacific.
This control is said to lie in the open
market; that is, neither party owns a
majority Of the stock. Hartman and
his friends have never held more than
80 per cent.
Many facts in connection with the
rumor look suggestive. The most i'm
portRnt is steady rise in the price Of
Union Pacific from II to 1870, in the
face of determined efforts of the Har-
riman party to depress it. Only with
in the last ten days has the Hartman
party ceased throwing large blocks Of
stock on the market in the hope Of
breaking it. 1t is now believed, even
in Union Pacific offices, that a myster-
ious strong party who has taken all
this stock was working for Morgan
and Hill.
There is much nervousness at 20
Broadway. where Hartman has his
Office. His friends believe Hill and
Morgan will at least get enough stock
to demand the retirement of Hartman
from his present czar-iike control Of
the property.

RUSSIANS THANKFUL
CASSINI EXPRESSES GRATIfICA.
ton FOR Note TO China.
Believed, However, That China will
Make Sweeping Denial of the
Charges of Breach of Neutral
iiy-Japanesc Government Nav
Make Some Sharp Comment.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Russia has,
through Count Cassini, expressed her
thanks to the American government
for its prompt action in calling China &
attention to the charges that her neu-
trality was being violated.
The Russian ambassador during the
day received note from Secretary
Hay acknowledging the communica-
ton OF Count Lamsdorff, and inform.
ing the Russian ambassador that the
American government had promptly
called thina's attention to the charges
and expressed the fervent hope that
China's neutrality, as well as her adj,
ministrative entity, would be faith.
fully preserved. The secretary further
said that the Chinese minister had as
sured him that his government was
equally DESTROYS of remaining neutral
and was doing her utmost to prevent
violations of her neutrality by either
belligerent.
Secretary Hay had another confer
ence with the Chinese minister during
the day, the latter calling at the state
department soon after Count Cassini q
departure. The minister reported that
he had received a cablegram from his
government asking for the charges in
detail.
The note of Secretary Hay relative
to the Russian charge of violation by
China of the laws Of neutrality will
contain nothing in any degree menac-
ing or calculated in any way to touch
the pride Of the Chinese. 1t is further
believed that the Chinese government
has practically prepared its defense.
This will amount to sweeping denial
of the Russian charges.
Touching the charge that many Chi.
nese are serving in the Japanese army
for pay, it is believed that the Chinese
will point out the failure of the Rus.
slams to find Chinese among the Japan
ese killed in battle, and will raise the
point that even il such Chinese did
serve as Japanese soldiers, such fact
does not Of itself constitute a violation
Of International law respecting neu.
trality.
The charge in the Russian complaint
relating to the employment of Japanese
officers to drill Chinese troops in mod
ern warfare tactics will, it is believed,
also be declared to be within the rights
Of any power and not violation Of
the rules of neutrality.
The Japanese government has been
informed of the Russian complaint,
and it is stated here that it is prepar.
ing a complete and categorical denial
of the Russian charges. 1t is under
stood the note will make sharp com.
ment upon alleged violations of neu.
trality Of some Of the powers in favor
Of Russia, notably in connection with
the extension to Russian vessels Of
rights of asylum in neutral ports to a
degree never contemplated by the old
er authorities on international law.
