S HILL'S PURPDSETD produced by the statement regarding the American proposition on the subject of tli. nrlnMnl. r,t .ho .rrvnllnn nf all TH- vate property except contraband from j capture on the high sea, Mr. .elidoir to day issued a note of explanation. In this he said that he merely ques tioned whether the principle of the in violability of private property at sea would be for or against the interests of peace when the close connection between political and commercial interests is taken into consideration. If the latter arc injured by war. they will act as a brake against armed conflicts, while if they do not fear injury they may even profit by war. M. Nelidoff wishes it un derstood that he did not express any positive opinion on the subject BAD OUTLOOK FOR NEW DOl'MA ST. PAUL LINE Real Meaning of Cancellation of Lease of the Burlington. PROCLAIMED FROM THE HOUSETOPS THE SUNDAY OREGOXLLN, PORTLAND, JUNE 30, 1907. fr 4. ' J'il''ff'n, NEW DEAL FOR NORTHWEST Northern Pacific to Sell Burlington Stork to Great Northern and Buy fct. Paul ct Before the Commission Investigates. CHICAGO, June 2D. (Special.) The can cellation of thf yS-year-loajse of the Chi cago, Burlington &. Quincy Railroad to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail way Conijany of Iowa has given rise to some sensational rumors in local rail way circles. Instead of indicating the failure of some pet project of James J. Hill, the disbanding of th Burlington Company. chartered in 1901. merely preliminary tn the carrying out of the irreatest railway project of the "Emperor of th Northwest, ' if reports are to be credited. The substance of these reports is that James J. Kill and the majority of stock holders of the Northern Pacific Rail road have decided tnat it is inadvis able; to continue the arrangement by which the Great Northern and North ern Pacific jointly own possibly most all the stuck of the Burlington Rail road. Then fore, the Northern Pacific will sell alt Its Burlington stock to the Great Northern. The proceeds of the sale will be used by the Northern Pa cific in part t purchase a controlling Interest in the Chicago, Milwaukee & tit. Paul fin i I road. It is knuwn to be the plan of the Interstate Omimcne Commission to make a thorough Investigation of tho relations ..f the Great Northern, North ern pacific and Burlington Railroads when the proceedings against the Ilar riman system nr. completed. Although the Supreme Court decided that tnc Northern. Securities Company was il legal, it has been a hollow victory for the Government, because J. J. Hill and his a 1 lies eont imie to own and control Jointly the CJrca t Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington roads. M ELLEN' THE COM I NO GENIL'S rather of Tuo-tcnt Kntc Builds Up (.rout Hailroatl. NKW TORIC. June 29. (Special.) Wall street and financiers everywhere re beginning to sit up and take notice of C. S. Mellon, who, as president of the New York. New I la veil & Hartford, nnce a despised i it t In road, has made of It a great system. Tie is the father of the 2 -cent rat voluntarily putting it Into effect and starting the agitation all over the country. "Wall street ranks him with E. H . 1 i a r ri man and J. J Hill, or better than either If ho hnd as free a hand. Among the persistent rumors float ing around AVall street is one that Mr. Mellon already is laying his wires for the aeon islt ion of the Boston & Al bany. It is reported also that possibly he will secure the, 13elaware &. Hudson, which fl Loree has been called to manage, and he is credited witn trying to effeet a trade with C. S. Hayes for the Central of Vermont in exchange for the Now York. Ontario & Western, pro vided 4he New York Central interests do not exercise the option that they re said to hold on that property. "Whatever Mr. Mellen's plans may be. It Is certain that lie has kept Wall street and the railroad world guess ing for the past three years, has ac complished a seemingly impossible task and has made a name for hirnself second to none In the galaxy of rail road stars. The' great task that Mr. Mellon ha accomplished is the transformation of a small and publicly despised system of 2000 miles, which seemed destined to fall into tho capacious maw of one of tho two controlling Eastern giants, into a great system of approximately 6600 miles. This has been carried out In three years against the strenuous opposition of the most powerful rail road interests in the country. No Bribes to Secure Cars. SAN FRANCISCO, June Vice-President and General Manager Calvin, of the Southern Pacific, announces that after a thorough Investigation of the reports that mployes had organized a system for the expedition of freight over Southern Pacific lines in return for bribes, has been com pleted, and shows that there is no such organization. A few shippers, impatient at delay, bribed one of tho yardmasters at Sparks, New, who in making up trains could give preference to certain cars. The practice was confined to a few shippers. The guilty yardrnaster has been dismissed. Hollailay Becomes Chief Clerk. C. v.. Holladay. who has been in the freight claims department of the local office of the O. R. & N., has been pro moted to the position of chief clerk in the office of C. A. Malboeuf. district freight agent for the Southern Pacific. Tie takes the position made vacant by the resignation of N. V. Murray, who left the service on account of ill health. Mr. Holladay begins his new duts tomorrow. Miifrt Cancel All Passes. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. June 20. Herbert P. Hadley, Attorney-General of Missouri, has requested all railroads In this state to cancel the thousands of state passes now in the hands of persons other than railroad employes, so the three months' test of the 2-cent law recently ordered by Judge MePherson may be a fair one. There is no anti-pass law in Missouri. AERONAUT'S BODY, FOUND One of Soldiers Lost From Balloon Kccotered at Sea. LONDON', June 29.

Regarded as Incompetents. ST. FKTERSBURG. June 29. The most unfavorable auguries for the working power of the third Douma may be drawn from the Zemstvo Congress, which has been in session this week at Moscow. Membership to this body is dictated by the classes which will control the elec tions in most of the provinces of Russia, and it was thought the work they accom plished at this conference might fore shadow the composition of the next parliament. The so-called "black nobility" or re actionary gentry, were in a large ma jority and the deliberations of the con gress were filled with a display of utter unfamillarlty with parliamentary pro cedure and hostility towards the liberal programme. The Octoberists, who ex pected to form the center of the new Douma. made a disappointing showing. The majority of the members seemed without plans or definite sdeas. and with out leaders capable of directing the work. T SECOND WARRANT ISSUES FOR ROCKEFELLER.
