SAN FRANCISCO, March 1. Presi
dent E. H. Harrlman of the Southern
Pacific railroad will soon arrive In this
city, and It is stattd that the papers
providing for a neva .railroad corpora
tion will be ready for his signature.
Erastus Toung, statisUcian and audi
tor of all Harrlman roads, ts said to
be now preparing the necesary docu
ments under the ' direction of the
Southern Paclflo law department. It
Is understood that the puipose of the
proposed corporation is to refund
millions of the Southern Pacific securi
ties and to simplify methods of book
keeping. The Southern Pacific ha three
distinct companies operating its main
line between San Francisco and El
Paso In addition to a number of
branch roads. They are:
The Southern Pacific railroad of
California.-the Southern Pacific of
AiHiuna and the Southern Pacific pf
New Mexico. These companies, It is
alleged are to be merged Into a new
corporation to be formed under the
laws of the state. They have an ag
gregate bond Issued of J69.000.000. The
bonds bear S and ( per cent Interest
per annum and many of them fall due
within the next two or three years.
A majority of the stock of each com
pany is owned 'by the Southern Pa
cific Company of Kentucky. The three
companies have 6082 miles of road.
By putting the three lines into one
corporation, the services of at least
fifty clerks will be dispensed with.
The main object, however, of the new
merger company, as alleged, will be to
refund the l!6.0oft,000 of bonds men
tioned at. 3H and 4 per cent interest
By this means a saving may 'be made
of not less than ll.oot.GOO a year In
fixed charges. It ts understood that
the new corporation will take over the
properties of the three Southern
Paclflo companies and assume all of
their assess and liabilities, also their
stocks and bonds may be retired and
the companies disincorporated.

Feeling of Pleasure at the Reception
to Prince Henry.
BERLIN, March 1. The first quick
Impression of -wondir over the recep

stallments of a serial romance .and
curiosity as to what will happen next
is nearly as keen as when Prince Hen
ry debarked.
Politicians and writers, however, are
beginning to examine his visit from
the standpoint of class and party
views. What a first were expansive
expressions of pleasure or silence are
replaced now by the reflections of an
alytical minds, who explain why the
visit Is a good thing, or use H as po
litical material.
