NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-For sew
eral days it was rumored in we'll
informed financial circles that a
gigantic railroad merger would
soon be formed, which would put
all former mergers ever formed in
the shadow. Today more definite
information regarding the propos ed
merger was obtained from a well
informed and thoroughly reliable
source. According to the informa-
ton thus obtained the scheme
means the solidation of the
Northern Pacific and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the
Great Northern and the Burlington
into two great transcontinenta
lines. 1t also means an attempt to
shut out the Hartman interests on
the Pacific coast, and a desperate
fight between the four lines men,
toned and the Hartman lines.
If successfully carried out, the
plan would mean the formation of
two of the greatest railroad sys-
TENS in the world. The Great
Northern, with it's $120, 100000 of
iron ore lease, and the sale of
rights to its own and Burlington

Will CONSIDER
DIVORCE PROBLEM
(Scripps News Association.)


WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10
This is the day for the formal
opening of the divorce congress,
which was called by Gov. Samuel
w. Pennypacker of Pennsylvania.
to consider the problem Of uniform
izing the divorce laws of the differ
ent states Of the Union. The dele
gates or commissioners appointed
by the governors of the different
states, or, at least, q great many
of them, assembled here last week
and held a number of preliminary
consultations, in which they ex-
changed their views on the subject
and compared notes in regard to
the divorce laws in force in their
respective states.
South Carolina is the only state
not represented by commissioners.
The reason given by the governor
of that state for not appointing
commissioners to the conference
was that such appointment would
be unnecessary, as the state of
South Carolina had not divorce
laws.

SUPREME COURT
(Scripps News Association.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10
Two important cases were set for
hearing before the United States
supreme court today. One was the
case of Anna Valentino, who was
convicted of murder in Hackensack
N. j., in 1894, and sentenced to be
hanged. The case has created CON
siderable interest throughout the
country, partly on account of the
peculiar circumstances of the MUIR
der and partly owing to the opposi-
ton to the hanging of women.
The other case which was set for
today is the Michigan railryoad ad
valorem tax case, which will be
watched with great interest by the
off Gals of railroad companies in all
parts of the country.

of Sain Guadalupe he swore an
oath to take the most terrible re-
