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

NEW DEAL FOR NORTHWEST

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.

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.

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.
