to give a limited time before entering
a final decree within which objection.
displayed in the limit OF further study
OF the proposition may be filed by
the government or any Of the other
parties interested.
It is understood that the agreement
will incorporate, as one step in the
dissolution, the previously proposed
plan for transferring s3S,0OO 600 Of
Southern Pacific stock held by tho
Union Pacific to the Pennsylvania
railroad in exchange for the latter's
holdings of Baltimore & Ohio. The
remaining $SS,OOO.O00 of the total

owned by the Union Pacific, it is said,
will be placed in the hands Of trust
company to be sold within a definite
period of tine and i'm such manner
as to insure that no substantial prop
orlion Of the stock will be sold to the
shareholders of the Union Pacific.
Attorney General McReynolds object
&c to the trustoeship previously pro-
posed by the railroad to the federal
court at st. Paul on the ground that
II was too vague and did not guar
antee that the Union Pacific would
Surrender its ownership OF the South
Crn Pacific within reasonable time.
These objections have been overcome
by more definite outline for the
disposition Of the stock
The exchange Of stock between the
Union Pacific and the Pennsylvania
will result according to estimates. in
giving the Union Pacific, with its
present holdings in the Baltimore e
Ohio. 3S.2 per cent OF the outstanding
stock of that company and in giving
the Pennsylvania II per cent Of the

BERLIN, December %, 1912.
Much more amusement than excitemen MT
has been caused by the attempt made
during the last few days to produce a
popular outcry against the sale Of a

ent disposition of the public doubtless will
not be disturbed by the publication of a
reply from the manufacturers to the re-
preach that they were working contrary
to the nations best interests The COM
pany states that 1t would not act with
out the certainty Of agre ement with the

THE government says, and quite right
ly, that 1t Is better for us to deliver air
ships abroad II we cannot make our bust
ness a paying one through home orders
In doing this we increase our capacity
and that of Germany. With the Zeppelin

STRIKE PROVES A FAILURE.
French Socialists Unable to Engineer
Twenty.Four-Hour Walkout.
Correspondence Of The Star.


PARIS. December 26, 1912.
The attempt of French socialists to en-
gineer a general strike for twenty-four
hours as a protest against war proved a
sorry failure. Even the employees Of the
tramway and motor car services. who
were expected to come out. were found
at their posts. and almost the only fea-
lures noticeable by the general public
were deserted building works and the
comparative scarcity Of taxicaos.
All branches of labor connected with
building and the chauffeurs have ever been
the most recalcitrant, and were naturally
the first to respond to the invitation to
cease work. but otherwise the general
labor federation did not score success.
The electricians stated beforehand that
they did not intend TO turn out, and con-
seQuently the .theaters. which were pre-
pairing makeshift lighting. were relieved
of all anxiety. Nevertheless. the gala
dress rehearsal Of "Kismet." which was
to have taken. place in. the presence OF
President Fallieres. was cOuntermanded.
as the machinists manifested a tendency
to unruliness. which 1t was thought pru-
dent to take into account.

RACIAL PASSIONS AROUSED.
Regarded as Unfortunate Result Of
South African Cabinets SPLIT.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

JOHANNESBURG. December 5. 1912
One unfortunate result Of the crisis in
the South African cabinet caused by the
resignation OF Gen. Botha. the premier
is the arousing of keen racial passions in
the country districts.
Farmers who attended the Dinyaan.a
day celebrations at Krugersdorp openly
sided with Gen. Hert:og, the minister O.
justice. whose appeals to racial passions
led to the premier's resignation. and de-
clared that they would regain their inde-
pendence tomorrow II they could. The
rank and file of the people of the back
country" are strongly in favor OF Gen
Hertzogs policy. Talk which is almost
aeditiOus is heard
The Dutch leaders and the Weather
farmers. who are supporters of Gen
Botha. will. however, possibly be able TO
control the votes of the extremists. Gen
Botha certainly will be able to .recon.
struct his cabinet. but If Gen. Hertznr
carries on a campaign against him the
life of the ministry will be short >'o
Many British South Africans are pra-
pared to support Gen. Botha for fear tan
Hertzog should win the day. and the gan
between the British and Dutch widen to
tire gravest degree.
