IFrom a stnG Correspondcnt.I

TRENTON, \. j.. March 1.-THE
opposition to Mayor H. Otto Witt
penn, of Jersey city. shown by the
adherents of Governor James f.
Fielder in Hudson county. has forced
the mayor to come forth with a state
ment in which he deplores the fact
mat his two opponents for the guber-
material nomination. Governor Field
er and former Mayor Frank $. Katz :
enbach, of this city. have failed 10
make a declaration of principles. The
statement issued by Mr.. Wittpenn
is considered feeble gasp for sup
port and as a last resort IT is said
that the Jersey city chief executive
will call upon President Wilson TO
further his political aspirations.
The fight is already waxing warm
in spite of the fact that Mr. Katz-
enbach has not taken an active part
as yet. So far the battle has been
centred In Hudson county. where the
friends of Governor Fielder are or
ganizing clubs and doing everything
in their power to aid the Governors

popular in Hudson county, while
Wittpenn is considered as a political
boss by many people Even in the
wards where the mayors support has
been strongest the Fielder men are
getting foothold and the Wittpenn
ties are unquestionably worried.
Wittpenn is confident that he will
get the support of President Will
son.
In the meantime the katzenbach
cohorts are ligurlng that with Witt
penn and the Governor fighting IT
out In Hudson they will be able to
secure the nomination for their man.
They are confident that they can
carry South Jersey. and with Hnd-
son divided and Essex as vet nom

he will win easily
The statement issued by Mr.. Witt

NEUCHATEL. Switzerland, March

habitants Of the village of Fleurier,
lying near Lake Neuchatel, in the

in state of panic. The top of the

former is sometimes questioned. II
we begin by eliminating the abuses
Of the ricture for which individuals
OF a doubtful nature and with more

We find that the average picture and
the well-conducted picture house
posses positive educational value.

tive and who could not be reached by
the ordinary means. The attractive

Here is the first great victory tD the

The two greatest railway systems in
the world, and the first transcontinental
systems ever organized, may be horn
as result of the Union Pcific system s
dissolution by the courts under the
Sherman act.
The matter semes largely to rest with
Attorney General McReypolds. The
Union Pacific owns a dominating in
terest In the Southern Pacific, and the
Federal courts have decreed that it
must get rid of this holding. The
Pennsylvania owns a. huge block of
Baltimore and Ohio stock. So il has
been proposed that the Union Pacific
trade to the Pennsylvania, giving
Southern Pacihc in exchange for Bal
timore and Ohio. If this transaction
were carried out, the Union Pacific.
already heavy owner in Baltimore and
Ohio, would strengthen its interest In
that road. and become easily the DOM
mating factor.
The Union Pacific already controls
the Illinois Central, and viii continue
to do so. II is understood. after the
dissolution is completed. Also, Union
Pacific is to be given, according 10
present understanding. some SORT of
control of the Central Pacific. With
all this worked out the new Union Pa
cific would control:
California coast to Ogden. Central
Pacific lines; North Pacific coast &c
Ogden, Oregon Short Line and Orego.
Railway and Navigation lines; Ogdei:
TO Omaha, and Kansas City. Union Pa
cific main line; Omaha to Chicago. H.
inois Central; Chicago to the Atlantic
seaboard, Baltimore and Ohio.
Thus would be realized the dream Of
Hartman, Of q complete transconti-
mental system.
But a greater system would be that
produced by the linking of the Pennsy!-
vania and the Southern Pacific. In this
transaction. 1t is explained. the Pennsyl-
vania would desire to take over control
o. the Atlantic Coast Line and Louis
Vile & Nashville roads With these, it
would ill In the gap between Washing

to Washington. the Southern Pa
cific lines come TO New Orleans.

greater Pennsylvania System would
valley, and the Pacific coast; extending
from Portland. Oregon. along the Pacific
coast to San Francisco and Los Angeles,
thence across California, Arizona, New
Mexico, and Texas, to New Orleans;
thence up through the south to New
York
The greater Union Pacific system is
credited with more than 1900 miles,
while the Greater Pennsylvania, under
this management would have over 5000
miles.
Washington would be right in the
middle of the map of either system;
but 1t would become especially signifi-
cant on the map of the expanded Penr.-
syIyania; Washington and Baltimore
would become, indeed, a new and more
important sense than ever before, gate
ways to the south.
