BIG BOND ISSUE
Is Contemplated to Raise Funds Need
ed BY Union Pacific.

New York. March Observation-Disclosures
Of the Union Pacific Railroad Co, will
meet on May 5 to authorize an issue
of bonds to be secured by a mortgage
on all the lines of the Union Pacific
which are now unmOrtgaged. These
lines aggregate 1850 miles, according
to an official announcement. The
amount and purpose of the proposed
bond issue We're not made public but
it was currently reported that it would
be 100000 900 or $50,000,000. This it
was said, would be sufficient to cover
the company's financial needs for some
time and it was expected that only a
portion of the issue will be made in
the near future.
To facilitate this bond issue, the
stockholders will be asked at the same
meeting to ratify the taking over by
the Union Pacific Railroad Co. of the
physical properties of the Leaven-
worth. Kansas & Western Railway Co.,
and of the Topeka & Northwestern
Railroad Co, which are already from
ownership Of stock a part of the Union
Pacific system. These roads. taken
together. have about 200 miles of track
include them with the other unmort-
gagged lines by which the new issue of
bonds is to be secured, and to do this
it is necessary under the laws Of Kan
sas by which the two companies We're
Incorporated that the transaction be
ratified by the stockholders.
The directors by vote declined to
grant the request made by certain
stockholders that the board of direc-
tors bring a suit against f. f. Harri-
man. H. Fl. Rogers and James Stillman
to recover profits which they We're al
legged to have derived from a sale of
the stock of the Illinois Central Rail-
road Co. the Railroad Securities Co,

UNAcCOUNTABLE DELAY
In Securing Details Of Germany's Ac-
ton In Dr.. Hill Case.

Washington, March o6.-JuSt why. i'll
these days of quick cable communlca-
ton it should be necessary for the
State department to wait 4 week or 10
dayS upon the arrival OF letter to
learn the exact nature of the repre-
sensations made to this government
by Germany III connection with the Sc
lection of DR. David jayne Hill, as
American ambassador at Berlin, is not
clear, yet, according to the official
statement such is the case.
The fact is that as far as official rec
ords go the state department is not
even vet possessed of the information
that Dr. Hills selection was not ac-
ccptablc to the German Emperor. 1t
does know, however, that Ambassador
Tower, whom DIR. Hill was to succeed,
has dispatched a letter from Berlin t2
ihe state department in relation TO TINS
matter and if public interest in the sub
ject continues to increase as 1t mas
within the past "A hours, the officials
here may decide to call upon Mr.. Tow
er to anticipate his letter by cabling
the substance of it in the departments
cipher.
In view of the absolute lack of Of
fetal information as to the 'iact that
the Emperor has finally declined &c
receive Mr.. Hill it is now suggested
that instead of proceeding at once on
this extreme point the German foreign
| officials have reScrted to the more dell
| cate method of accomplishing their
purpose of preventing DR.. Hill from
coming to Berlin by allowing Mr.. Tow
| er to become acquainted with the
| fact that there are objections to the
| new aprointee, and that it would be
polite therefore not to press the ap-
pontment to the point where It would
become necessary to make a forma
matter of DR. Hills unavailability.
| The diplomatic circle is still specG
| iating as to the cause for the attitude
of the German government and it is
fair to state that upon none OF tn
theories so far advanced, such as SOM
| unpleasant occasion of Prince Henry:
, visit to this country, or diSsatiSfac
ton with DIR. Hills career, while Am
erican minister to The Hague-2re thu
diplomats able to agree.
One of the latest suggestions is, il
substance, that Ambassador Tower dc
"des to remain in Berlin Tor SOM
time to come and that his influence
with the Emperor has been eXerte'
to dissuade the authorities at Washing
ton from relieving him But thi
meets with little credence here and Their
is nothing in official records to bea
it out 1t is a curious fact that theS
records do not even show that an.
change has been contemplated in tn
Berlin embassy. There is not even OF
file a resignation of his office by Am
! bassador Tower.
