Promlticnt members of tho Stock exchange
discussed tho situation today. A suggej
tlon was mndo for u plan by which tho
Union Pacific would be able to assume ab
solute nnd permunont control of the Con
trol Pacillc without assuming any liability
for tho whole Southern Pacific system.
One member of tho Union Pniillc Interests
freely ndmltted (hut tho fundamental Inter
est of tho company In tho Southern Pa
cillc Is In Its control of tho natural and
only possible outlet for tho Union Pacific
to San Francisco. Ho said:
"Tho Central Pacific, and Union FnclfU'
wero conceived us ono route. Their di
vision into sepnrato companies was un
natural und harmful to the best lnteresti
of tho companies themnelws und to tho
transportation facilities of the public. Tho
two companies often worked In opposition.
The Southern Pacific's other lines nro
naturally allied with the Interests of Cali
fornia nnd tho southwest, nnd fomn tho
transportation Hystem complete nnd valn-
ablo in Itself, oven without tho direct own
ership of tho Ccnertral Pacific.
'The plans of tho syndicate now holding
tho Southern Pacillc for tho Union Pacific
for llnaticlng thu property will not bo
dellnltoly formed until tho Central Pacific
lease lino been carefully gono over to see
If that property can bo segregated from the
lines under feasible conditions. Tho
adoption of tho plan of Issuing collateral
trust notes, ns In other recent mergers, Is
not likely to bo necepted until other plnns
hnvo been thoroughly canvassed. The
control of the Southern Pacific will not bo
held In any way which will create any bur
den on tho Union Pacific. Tho terms uuder
which tho Centrnl Pacific Is held are
definitely fixed by tho Southern Pacific 4
per cent collateral trust bonds Issued In
1899. Tho section of tho mortgago says:
"Tho existing lease of the Centrnl Pacific to
tho Southern Pacific shall terminate In case
tho pledged stocks bo sold In consequence of
default. Tho Southern Pacific will not ns
tient to any other lease on Its properties
uniesB such IctiBO shall havo beon npproved
by tho holders of n majority of Its bonds
outstanding, or shall contain provision
terminating tho same In caso such pledged
stocks shall bo sold. This would seem to
afford nmplo nuthorlfy and feasible melius
for the Union Pacific assuming tho Central
Pacific lease If It should be decided to turn
tbat property directly over to tho Union
Pacific.

Two members of the syndlcnto told today

"It was not possible," this authority
said, "to broach tho Idea of tho salo to
Huntington. He had a sentimental attach
ment to tho property which nothing could
shake. IIo used to say ho would rather
cell the coat on his back."
Another authority Intertsted In tho final

I knew Uito was no ehnnea

natural for tho estate or widow to

however valuable, nnd promising, which
wero not dividend-paying. When Mrs.
Stanford exchanged for investment on on

Xorninl Sellout IIIIIn.
Serious opposition hns developed wllhln
the last few days to tho bill providing for
two stato normal schools In tho western
half of tbo stnte. As amended nnd recom
mended for passage by tbo commltteo of
tho wholo housL last week, It authorizes
the State Normal hoard to determine tlu
exact location of tho two schools, but re
quires them to be located ono each In tho
Fifth nnd Sixth congressional districts.
Representatives from the eastern counties
liiBlst that tho west Is asking for too niurh
and will probable demand when tho bill
comer, up for third reading that ono of
tho schools l.o located In tho central or
northeastern Beetlon. In tho committee of
tho wholo Taylor of Custer county (fuslon
lst) led tho fight In favor of tho bill nnd
his popocratlc colleagues stood by him on
every proposition, but bIiico tho action of
tho commltteo several of the members huvo
been Interviewed by their constituents nnd
It Is teported that thero has be3n a great
chaugo In sentiment. Tho bill has been
engrossed und will como before tho houso
for paasago during tho next few days.
Ono clement 'n tho leglsluturo Is op
posed to tho establishment of two normal
rchools; nnothcr clement la opposed oven
to tho establishment of one school, but
there aro several tnllucuttul members who
would bo willing to compromise if ono
school could bo located In Lincoln, on or
near the university campus. Tho schema to
npproprlnto $5:1,000 for tho old Western
Normal college shell wus exploded so
thoroughly Hint there Is no hope loft for
It, but tho Lancaster county dclegntlon
would probably mako numerous concessions
if it could get n normal school for the city,
If not for tho deserted suburb of Haw

Tho people all over tho stnto nro Inter
ested in tho fish and game bill, which wus
Introduced in tho senate by Senator Vnn
Hosklrk nnd In tho houso by Representative
Evans early In tho session. Many letters
havo been received by members usklng for
copies of the bill, nnd others urging Itn
pussngo. The bill, which hns for Its ob
ject tho protection of fish, gnme and birds
within tho stnte, was prepared by tho
mciicnn Lcnguo of SporUmen nnd tho Ne
braska Gnmo nnd Fish Protective associa
tion, tho membership, of IIichc organizations
embracing several hundred gentlcmon,
among whom aro tho present stato otllcerH,
many fanners, fruit growers, ranchman and
those who hunt and fish fur plcuautc, all
of whom nro anxious thut steps ha taken
to ntop tho rapid decrease In tho fish and
game, us well ns tho song birds of No
brnskn. Tho bill wns drafted by Judgu Post
and other lawyers. Statistics show thut lu
forly states bird llfo bus decreased 41 per
cent during tho lust twenty years, and tho
protection of theso birds Is ono of tho ob
jects of tho bill. It Is contended that thn
farmers, gardeners nnd fruitgrowers have
no better friends than tho game and other
blnls whoso food consists so largely of crop
nnd frult-dostroylug worms und Inserts.
It costB Infinitely mnro In tlmo and money
to spray growing crops and trees nnd oper
ate various devices for destroying grass
hoppeis than It would to permit Insect
devouring birds to Increase In numbers by
simply protecting thnm against wanton and
useless slaughter, and tho small nmount
of ,hnrm that such birds may do to small
fruP Is offset u hundredfold by the benefit
to tho farmer and horticulturist by Its de
struction of worms and Insects. Th-j stock
of gamo Is being rapidly deploted, says J.
