Railroad Magnates.
Two Groups Working Together
Announcements Soon.
In the Meantime Wal! Street People
Are Guessing.

New York, Nov S.-Wall street was
| flied Saturday with rumors Of great Il
nancial deals. the details Of which II. III.
| Rogers William Rockefeller ANA f.. II.
| Hartman are working out in one direc-
| ton and James J. Hill ana J. Pierpont
| Morgan in another.
| Daily conferences, concerning which the
greatest secrecy is maintained, are held
| and all information AS 10 the plans is
| carefully withheld. in the meantime
Wall street is guessing wildly and tn"
stocks of the two groups Of Wall street
men are being doomed on the Stock FIX
change probably with their connivance.
Mr.. Hell was at his office Saturday and
| he busted himself with plans for the com
| ing financial REIMBURSEMENT Of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific. which are
said to involve the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
| the great Burlington system and It's dis
tributiun between Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. lie will return to st.
Paul to be present ut the wedding Of his
daughter next Thursday and VIII then
hurry back to New York, when the pub
lie announcement may be made.
The Hartman Rogers deal in St Paul
and Union Pacific will probably become
public about the same time. Mr.. Harri-
man for several months past has been
working on the plans to distribute Il por-
| ton of the millions of surplus Of the
| Union Pacific system which it has built
up from its Investments in Great North
EN- Northern Pacific Southern Pacific
and Oregon Short Line.
1t was reported in Wall street Saturday
| that the plan of this distribution includes
the formation of a new holding company
| to take over the security holdings OF
| Union Pacific and the issuance by it OF
| the stock as a bonus to each outstand-
| ing share of Union Pacific
| 1t is generally agreed in financial circles
that the assets of tFniun Pacific outside
Of its own abroad properties have be
COM worth more than $40 a share.
The St. Paul deal. whatever it may be,
is still keeping Wall street guessing. 1t
is conceded that the purchase by Henry
RI. Rogers and T.. II. Hartman Of the St.
Paul holdings Of James Henry Smith the
sienD gives them practical control of
that property in conjunction with VII
liam Rorkefellcr. who is said to be work
ing in alliance with them.
It is expected that the next fortnight
will develop what is to be the ultimate
fate of st. Paul. whether it is t. become
another Hartman property SHbordinatcd
to Union Pacific through tho Southern
Pacific, which is not parallel line, or
retain its integrity and push its new eX-
tension to the Pacific coast. where it is
said to be seeking to purchase the ter
,inal facilities of the Pacific coast com
pany at Seattle and San Francisco.
That all of theTa great deals are pend
ing little doubt is expreSsed in the iinan-
cial district, and it is believed that "a
soon as monetary conditions become nat
ural official announcements will he mad.
