The Importance of the new deal grows when viewed In connection with tho acqui sition In November last by the Southern Pacific of tho Pacific Mall Steamship com pany, with Its Immense distributing poAer on tho PncWc coast. The acquisition of the Southern Pacific Is merely another move In tho community of Interest policy which has already secured such a vast hold on thn railroads of tho country. It means tho establishment of nn all-rnll transcontinental road governed di rectly In this policy. Mr. Harrlman Is president of the Chicago A. Alton road. Ho Is also a director In tho Union Pacific. In the Illinois Central, In the Oregon Hallway & Navigation company and in tho Oregon Short t.lno Hallroad company. In thn Alton syndicate, In which Mr. Harrlman obtained control of Unit road, tho Vanderbllts were credited with partici pating to thn extent of $3,000,000, and tho (lould and Hockcfcllor Interests each to the snmo amount. leorne Ooulil Kecfed. It Is believed that (leorgc doubl will bo Invited Into Iho present syndicate If he has not already Joined. Tho Union Purine al ready has nn outlet to tho roast through Its stork control of the Oregon Short Mne and tho Oregon Itallroad & Navigation com pany. Hut these lines reach thn extremo northwest In Oregon nnd Washington. The Central Pacific brunch of tho Southern Pa cific, however, will give the Union Pacific n direct route almost an nlr line route from Ogdcn, Its present westernmost ter minal, to San Francisco. Tho Union Pa clllr will now have a direct routn eastward from San Francisco to Omaha nnd Kansas City. Reports havo recently been current that negotiations arc pending for the control of tho Chicago, IlurlltiRtou & ()ulncy, which would meet the Union Piicltlc at both Omaha nnd Kansas City nnd afford a direct routo to Chicago, where traffic could bo divided nmong the trunk lines which are already being operated under tho "community of Interest" plan. t'oiim-i'tlon Tlironcli Omiilin. Such a plan, however. Is not necessary for a direct transcontinental line, for tho Chi cago & Alton already connects with tho Union Paclnc at Kansas City and proceeds lo Chicago, and the Illinois Central connects Kl Omaha, and also proceeds to Chicago. Tho connection is made nt Chicago with tho Paltlmore & Ohio for tho Atlantic sea board, and thus Is established u complete "Harrlman" transcontinental route. 11 may bo a coincidence, but It appears (dgnlflcant that tho announcement of iho purchase of the control of the Southern Pa cific should follow so closely on tho heels of tho purchase by Mr. Hurrlmnn of tho control of the Chicago Terminal Transfer company nnd Its terminal lines. A week ago Mr. Harrlman bought tho Dcutschcr bank hold Ings of this company through Messrs Kuhn, Loch & Co., who arc Interested with him In tho present deal. Kxtonslvo terminals In nnd about Chicago lire owned by the Ter minal company. They comprise 700 acres, with n total of 250 miles or track. IIIk Knellltlea In CIiIimikii. Tho company also owns tho Ornnd Cen tral passenger station and 3,600 foot of docks on tho Chicago river. Tho consensus of opinion of men interested In railroads nnd stock markets is that tho prlcu paid for tho Huntington nharos is about $50 n bare.

Chairman Tweed was requested to make some statement dealing with the reported change of control, but twice declined to sp.y anything. With Acting Vlco President dates of tho Southern Pacific company, Mr. Tweed Is nn executor of tho late C. P, Huntington's will. Tho banking Iioukp of Speyer & Co. was for some years prior to Mr. Huntlngton'H drnth the fiscal agents of the Huntington properties. Tho Speyers are known to have held Inrgo amounts of Southern Pacific stock nnd bonds for their Kuropean clients. According to current reports they were anxious to acquire possession of the Hunt ington shire. H Is said they made nn offer for the entire block, but the price offered was unsatisfactory. It a then, ac cording to Wall street gossip, Unit tho Har rlman syndicate stepped In, obtained nn option on tho Huntington shares and named to tho Speyers tho prlco they were willing to pay nil around. Tho Southern Pacific Is said to have tho largest capitalization of any of tho Ameri can railroads, Its stock being capitalized at $200,000,000. Tho properties concerned In the deal directly represent. It Is said, nn In vestment of $.'.00,000,000. Tho Harrlman syndlcnto Ib supposed to bo divided Into portions of one-eighth. K. H.

The history of this transaction dales back to shortly before tho death of Collls P. Huntington last summer. Mr. Hunting ton, to wham overtures for the acquisition of his stock were made, declined to sell. Tho heirs, however, were more ready, but they refused, as well as Mr. Speyer, an offer of $45 a share, which tho syndicate mado to thorn for tho whole of their hold ings. It Is understood that they named a prlco somewhere around $30 a share as the only one they would consider. Such nn offer. It wns said, was made, but It was not actually accepted Until today, H. K, Huntington, nephew of the late C. P. Hunt ington, arrived hero todny, but declined to talk. James Speyer said late tonight: "I received nn offer for my holdings of Southern Paclllc stock and I havo parted with them nt tho figure agreed upon." "Will you staio whit the llguro wns or who was tho purchaser?" "No," replied Mr. Speyer; "that would be contrary to my ngreement with tho pur chaser, who desired tint both facto bo kept secret." "Will you state what was tho amount of your holdings?" "No, I runnpt do thht either." "Dors this salo Include or have anything to do with tho Huntington holdings?" "I am speaking altogether of my own stock. Whatever ' may havo been done In regard to tho Huntington holdings will havo to come from others. There Is every reason to believe, however, that somo arrange ment wns mado with regard to thou."

LONDON', Feb. 2 Half a million of the lato queen Victoria's devoted subjects lin ing tho shores qf tho Solent yesterday wit nessed the majestic and awe-inspiring pageant nnd bado a last farewell to their beloved tiller, happy In the circumstances ot her denth as sovereign of the greatest power of the earth. Yesterday's naval ceremonies were a fit ting tribute from a nation owning Nelson for Its he.ro to Its dead monarch. All who were witnesses of the function testify to the profound emotion It Inspired and ngrce that tho spectoclo could not have been aurpaised for splendor and solemn cftcc. Tho dominant noto In the whole scene was Its grand simplicity nnd so far ns human uttcrai.co wau concerned Its silence. The sad procession glided along In beautiful order nnd preclilon as though moved by somo hidden power. No Incident of nny kind occurred to mar Its stately beauty. Thero was no accident of nny sort ashore or aflout. Tho weather was traditional "oueon weather." The "queen of the seus" was carried across tho waters to the accompani ment of minute guns nnd mllltury music, n picture which will live In history. Toiln?' Wrnllier U Doubtful. If tho elements fchould prove equally fa vorablo today, which at the moment of cn bling (3 a. nt.) seems somewhat doubtful, the millions of tho metropolis will render their even grander military tribute lo the queen who desired lo be burled as a soldier's daughter. Thousands of troops nrc now morchlug Into London to breakfasl hurriedly prepara tory to taking their places In the line of march. With this peaceful military In vasion Is an equally Inrge Invasion from the provinces and abroad. It was next to Impossible last evening to obtain n bedroom In any West Und hotel and until quite n lote hour visitors were oogciiy searching all along tho routo for windows nnd seats, held nt exorbitant prices, to view the procession. Crowds of people nro standing In the early hours of the morning, watching tho army of workmen who nro putting the final touches to the somber decorations nnd the other preparations.

With grand, yet mourn ful, display of naval pomp and power tho body of (J u co n Victoria was borne this aftornoon from' Its quiet resting placo In Osborne house, to Portsmouth, the heart of Kngliind's navy. Not slnco Admiral Cor vera's ships lit up tho Cuban coast with their self-consuming (ires has anything been seen which In tragic splendor approaches tho naval spectacle of today. The half hundred red fighting ships that this after noon llrcd tholr broadsides nnd minute guns wero Inferior In strength to the force gathered in tho same waters for tho Jubilee coebrntlon, hut the lack of formldablcness wns fully atoned for by the solemnity of this licet In mourning. Over tho still waters, between the roll of the six-pound-ers, camo strains ot Chopin's nnd llccthovcn's funeral marches. Tho crows, accustomed to cheer with the heartiness which belongs only to "Jackles," stood silently along thn decks, and the flags, which usually float defiantly In the brnce, drooped half way down the halyards. The most powerful fleet Kngland could gnthor on short notice lay luort and silent, save for the mournful strains of tho bands and the woeful sound of guns that botokencd neither peace nor war, hut death.

Steaming leisurely nfter them was the royal yacht Alberta, holf screened by tho awning on tho poop, tho royal coflln placed on a crimson dais, the curtains of which wero drawn back aud tied to four polos, leaving free to view tho magnificent ensket and robes. Sometimes abenm, sometimes ahead, wns the Trinity house yacht Irone, watching the course, while In tho wnkc of tho coffln enmn tho royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with King Kdward and Queen Alexnndrn and tho English royal family; tho royal yacht Osborne, with other royal personages; tho Imperial yacht Hohen zollern, with Emperor William, tho duke and duchess ot Connaugbt and others; tho admiralty yacht Enchantress and a Trinity house yacht with ofllclals on board. Tho main squadron of battleships wns drawn up In one line, extending from Cowcs to Splthend. The channel licet, under tho command uf Vlco Admiral Sir Harry Holdsworth Raw son, formed tho eastern portion and the rcservo fleet, under Rear Admiral Sir Henry Nool, formed the western portion. The foreign war vcssols wero moored southwest of the Ilritlsh ships In tho order of their nrrlval and alongside of them wore moored eight Ilritlsh gunboats, tho Antclopo, Gleaner, Skipjack, Loda, Rattlesnake, Alert, Circe and Spetdwoll.

Each ship ceased firing Immediately after the tall ot the procession had passed. After the end of tho procession had passed the Majestic and ships In Portsmouth hnrbor commenced firing minute guns and continued tiring until the Alberta was nlongsldc tho wharf No standards wero displayed nnd ensigns nnd union Jacks were at half-mast. The bands played the funeral marches of Chopin and Ilccthoven only. No natlonnl anthem was played. On the approach of tho procession the chips wero manned nnd the guards nnd bands wore paraded. Ofllcers wero In full dress (No. 1 rig), straw hats. The guards presented arms ns the Alberta passed eacn ship, und thcu rested on (heir arms, re versed, until the procession had passed. A detachment of marines nnd tho ad tulral'a band were on board Nelson's old flagship, tho Victoria, In Portsmouth har bor.

At noon the gorgeous trappings of the Chappcllc Ardcntc were distributed. Over tho coflln was thrown tho coronation robo worn by tho girl queen. On this wan placed the royal regalia, wand, scepter and crown, which were scarcely ever used by the queen In her lifetime. Di'mmy regalia will be burled with her at Frogmorc. At 1:30 p. m. the bars of tho main door of Osborne creaked and tho petty ofllcers of tho royal yacht Victoria and Albert then doffed their hats and entered. King Kd ward came from n sldn entrance accom panied by Emperor William of Germany. Tho both wore admirals' uniforms. Then through the glass door could be seen tho coflln coming, carried by the sail ors who bt.t a lew momcutR previous had entered. It was pteceded by pipers nnd was covered with the royal robes nnd ro gal la. and accompanied on cither side by equerries. Immediately behind tho king took his place, on his right tho emperor of Germany. Tho king's head was bowed. Tho emperor wns erect, his face expressionless. Then followed the roynl princess. A few minutes Inter emerged Queen Alexandria und eight roynl princesses, nil afoot nnd dressed In tho simplest black, their faces entlroly veiled with crepe. Several of tho party, and especially Princess Hcatrlce, wero sob bing bitterly. In striking contrast with the black-robed women followed the heads of tho royal household In gorgeous uniforms. The coflln was placed upon the gun car riage. The pipers commenced their dirge. In till- I'roeemlon. The procession inarched slowly down tho winding cedar-hedged path until tho gate was reached, where the glittering military escort wns met, the military bandf- break ing out with a dead march. As tho trl colored gun carriage, followed by Ihe king, with the emperor of Germany and the duke of Connaugbt on the tight and left, passed down tho hill, all hats were doffed. At 1:15 p. ni. sailors from tho Victoria ami Albert raised the precious burden and boro It from tho house. This duty wns to havo fallen to the Highlanders, hut at tho rehcnrsal they wero so awkward that It was decided that the Bailors should perform the task. Outside the roynl residence Gren adier guards were drawn up on a brilliant line. With n. sharp click they presented arms, i for tho last time. In honor of their dead queen. Tho pipers led the proces sion, mnklng tho woods ring with n weird refrain. Uehtnd them came the royal fam ily. At tho gate the military portion of tho parade stood ready, a glittering medley of uniforms. Down hill tho procession slowly wound Its way, In tho followlug order: Mounted grooms; tho deputy assistant ad Jutnnt of tho Southern district; a dotneh ment of tho Hempshlro Carbineers; tho lieu tenant governor of the Islo of Wight and staff, of tho Southern district; tho staff of the conimnnder-ln-chlef at Portsmouth; tho general commanding tho Southern district, tho naval commander-in-chief; massed bands and drums of tho Roynl Marine artil lery nnd of tho Roynl light Infantry, who played a funeral march ns they passed out of tho queen's gato; tho queen's Highland ers; tho queen's pipers.
