Acting Vice President Gates, of the Southern Pacific, says he knows nothing about the report. It is said ttiat the Harrlman interests in the Union Pacific- have bought the Hunt ington, holders in the Southern Pacific, amounting to 400,000 shares at a price something like $55, paid or to be paid. Later it was reported that the Southern Pacific holdings bought by the Harrlman syndicate were those in the bonds of Speyer Si Co. No official confirmation of the report could be obtained. A news agency sent out the following statement this afternoon : "It may he stated on semi-official authority that the Harrlman syndicate, acting in the interest of the Union Pacific, has purchased the Speyer-lluntlngton holding in the Southern Pacific."

New Yobk, Feb. 1. The Journal and Advertiser says: New York City will be in the hands ofa vigilance committee within ten days from now. This com mittee will consist of several hundred men. Bishop Potter, it was said, had consented to start this movement, his advice in the matter mapping out the city and selection of the vigilantes having been followed aa far as consistent with the ol jects in view. Every member of the 15 has pledged himself to secrecy. Chairman Baldwin says there has already been too much talking and not enough action. The Borough of Manhattan has been divided into districts, each of which will be as signed to a group of vigilantes. No part of the city is to be wholly neglected. Even on Fifth avenue or in the upper Weet Side members of the comaiittee will prosecute ttieir labors. The vigilantes will confine themeelves to the observance of things in general. These duties require them to see whether policemen are performing their duty, whether the streets are kept clean, whether saloons are allowed to do busi neEs after the legal closing houis and whether such Baloons, gambling-houses and poolrooms are visited by policemen, either in uniform or civilian dress. The committee of 15 will provide a "clearing house," to which all reports will be made, and through which the results of the work may be made avail able. Catarrh Caunot lit.
