New York. Sept. ia representa-
tive of the firm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co,
said today that the report that they
have sold the Union Pacific Railroad

Ohio Railroad company which that
firm purchased from the Pennsylvania
Railroad company is premature Ne
gotiations for the sale are under way,
but not completed, Kuhn, Loeb & Co
announce.
The announcement of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. is the first official statement in
confirmation of rumors current in
Wall street for some time to the effect
that z. H. Hartman was seeking a
large interest in Baltimore & Ohio.
With their large holdings in Chicago
& Alton, and the control Of Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific the acquisi-
ton of Baltimore & Ohio would give
Hartman control of a railway line
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Mr.
Hartman and his associates also
would have a voice in the affairs Of
Reading, a large block of that COM
pany's stock being held in the Balti-
more & Ohio treasury.
Wall street is interested in the meth
Cd to be adopted by the Union Pacific
Railway company to provide funds for
the purchase Of the Baltimore & Ohio
road. It is estimated that complete
control of the road viii cost about
100000 900.

dispatch from Toxic, which stated that
the steamer Empress of China on ar
irving at Toxic Sunday reported that
considerable changes have taken place

ed this as accounting for the strandfng
of so many steamers recently in the

lands. The steamers Manchuria and
Mongolia and the United States trans
ports Thomas and Sheridan have met
this fate. The Toxic dispatch adds that
the report Of tidal changes harmonizes

hours and is believed to have made i'm
portant changes in the bed of the
