NKW YORK. April 24. Among the
many bpjkeo precedents which have
been recorded In the present Wall

scale and character of the profession
al manipulation for purely sentimental
effect on the speculative public at
large.
No su.-h fight against the prevailing
tefxlfiicy In the market v.as ever be

operators In recent speculation are
credited with the assertion that there
Is no amount of sto-k which they will
not buv in order to sustain the market
for the prtctlon of their favorite
stocks.
The total Jeallngs In Union Paolflc

As the total Issue of the company's

NEW YORK, April 24.-The Herald
saya:
Plana for the development of the Mis
souri Pacific system, which George J.
Gould has had under his Immediate
charge, have received the unanimous
Indorsement of the directors. It is now
the Indication that not only will
this' system have an outlet to
the Pacific coast over the Union Pacific
lines which will be furnished by Its con
trol of the Rio Grande Western, but it
will have a southerly outlet to the coast
over the Southern Pacific lines.
Mr. Rum ill Sage announced last night
that the project of building a line from
El Paso. Tex., which Is reached by the
Texas ft Pacific and also, incidentally,
by the Mexican Central, to Santa Fe.
N. M., would be carried through. This
means not only a paralleling of the
Atchison's line between these two cities,
but an opportunity to connect with the
Mexican Central and ''arry Its traffic
straight up over the Union Pacific by
the way of the Oregon Short Line to
Portland. Oregon.
The control of. the Mexican Central,
it has recently been stated, has passed
Into Ihe hands of Interests representing
o railroad with connection at El Paso.
Atchtem and Southern Pacific interests J
representing a railroad with connection
at EI Paso. Atchison and Southern
Pacific Interests and those of the Bock
Island, whlch'-wms said to contemplate
an extension to El Paso, have all de
nied that they are ihe purchasers. The
belief is growing that Interests Identi
fied with Mr. Gould and his associates
have bought the Mexican Central con
trol on behalf of the Missouri Pacific.
El Paso, as the Western terminus of
the Texas ft Pacific. Is an admirable
point for connection of the Missouri
Pacific svsrem with the Southern Pa
cific, whose lines runs thence to San
Francisco through the rich lands of
Southern California. Such a connec
tion will he. It Is held, a logical out
come of the present situation and will
furnish the southern outlet to the Paci
fic coSst. '
Mr. Sage spke confidently of the fu
ture of the Missouri Pacific. A report
from Denvr to the effect that the attorney-general
of the state of Colorado
thretjned to bring jult to prevent the
consolidation of the Denver ft Bio
Grande, of which Mr. Gould and asso
ciates had control In the Interest of the
Missouri Pacific, the Rio Grande West
ern. Colorado Midland and Colorado
Southern was called to his attention.
"I don't know of any likelihood that
the state of Colorado will attempt to
Interfere In our Plana," said Mr. Sage.
"I cannot see why It should be dis
posed to do so or what would be the
Justice of It unless the state had a prior
lien on one of the roads and Its Inter
ests involved in that way may be hurt.
It has not any such lien.
'The project on foot will be of benefit

to all the roads concerned. They will
be fairly treated and the public will
not be Injured. There won't be much
danger of Htale Interference, I think."
"Will the plan for the development
of a greiter Missouri Pacific mean the
leasing to the road of the Denver ft
Rio Grande or Rio Grande Western.
Coi n-ado Midland or Colorado ft South
ern?" was asked.
"It will be a consolidation," said Mr.
Sage positively. "The directors have
met and voted unanimously In favor of
Mr. Gould's plana. The Missouri Pacific
will control the roads embraced in the
scheme' by stock ownership, the situa
tion elng nlmllar ?o that of the New
York Central in Us control of the
Michigan Central and the Lake Shore
A Michigan Southern."
"Does the Missouri Pacific expect to
get an outlt to the coast?"
"Certainly." replied Mr. Sage. "We
shall have an outlet which will enaWe
us to compete with other roads run
ning to and from the Pacific coast."
The question was asked whether the
road would acquire new interests which
would give this outlet or make an ar
rangement with one of the railroads
now running to the coast and with
which Its system does or will connect.
"Oh. we shall make a traffic arrange
ment of some sort, giving out traffic
to the road with which we agree and
taking its own." answered Mr. Sage.
"No, I cannot tell you whether that
rod would be the Atchison or what
It would be."
"Is It certain that the reported pro
ject of building a line between El Paso.
Texas, the Western terminus of the
Texas ft Pacific, and Santa Fe, which
the Denver ft BJo Grande reaches. wHl
be carried through?" was asked.
"That will be done without doubt. I
think." said Mr. Sage. "I cannot dis
cuss the question whether a new cor
poration wl!l be formed for the pur
pose. Mr. Gould la In charge of the
details and will report back to the
board of directors. I can say that the
carrying out of all our plans will un
doubtedly put the aystem '.n a very
strong position."
