NEW YORK, Miiy 13. The World tomor

Clark, who Is now abroad, wan u largo pur
chaser of Union Pacific slock today nml
that thi-Eo purchases wero made !n behalf
of tl) 'i Hill-Morgan party.
Tha World will iiIho say: An immense
battle In now on (or control ol Union Pn
clllo. the light being retaliatory by Morgan
ngalnst tbn Hiirrliiinn ayudleatu for the ml
tcr'H struggle to wrest Northern Pniilir
from the lllll-Morgun crowd. Knlin, Loch
& Co. (Monday) completed a revised count
of nil tha stock actually held by them and
their ulllea and their i;entH unload. The
count showed n great change over that
mado on Saturday. While the sto-k actually
In their possession does not give Ihem
control, tho margin 1h very narrow nnd
they still have a great many purchases to
hear from, if one-fourlh of thene result In
dellveiies of nctuul Block they will have
control.
A member of the Hnrrimiin-Kuhn-Loeb
syndicate who gave these facts to a World
reporter said: "When Morgan & Co. staled
that they had control of Northern Pacific
they mado the statement in perfect good
faith. In stating now that the stocks
actually In our possession gives every In
dication that we have got control, we do
not wish It to bo understood that Morgiu
& Co. hnvo been saying anything that they
were not conscientiously entitled to say."
Union PncIHe Mill Aviillnlilc.
Tho Hurrlmnn-Kuhn-Loeb nyudlcate made
no attempt to say that their control of
Union Pacific could not bo purchased away
from them by tho high pricos appealing to
Homo stockholders who uro at present nlllcd
with them. When their representative
was asked yesterday who was buying the
big blocks of Union Pacific ho said: "Our
best Information Is that It Is Senator Clark
nnd tho First Nntlonal bank. Of course
In this Bcnutor Clark would be acting In
tbo lnterestg,ot thosoJrtosUlo to Mr. Harrl
inaU.V. " ""V"'
"Is It possible for tho other side to gel
controlling iutercst In tho Union Pacific?"
"Wo contlpl tho Union Paclllc nt tho
present time, but It would be possible."
"lias not your side got enough of aettinl
Union Pacific stock locked up to Insure Its
control?"
"I would not say that."
Official announcement of those who have
control of the Northern Pacific will not
bo mado until the end of the month and
perhaps later. It' was mado public yes
terday that the purchase of tho Ilurllngtou
by tho Northern Paclllc and Great North
ern will bo put through. Tho buying roads
ore (o Issue $200 in bonds for every $100
par valuo share of Ilurllngtou stock. This
will give Mr. Hill nnd Mr. Morgan a prollt
of nearly V20.000.000. Hill and Morgan
bought up great quantities of llurllngton
before outsiders know that tbo purchase
vns In contemplation. In all It Is said
they got 400,000 shares at an average price
of $150. The price that Is to be paid by buying
roads Is $200. The spokesman of tho Ilar
rlninn ayndlrata said:
"Wo will not oppose the payment of $200
for tho nurllngton stock, though It Ib true
that great blocks of It were bought up
by somebody somo time back nt u low
llgurc."

NEV YORK. May 13. Secretnry Wilson
of district No. 15 of the machinists wm in
terviewed today concerning the order sent
out Saturday by National Prcfctdent James
O'Connell at. Washington, calling a strike of
nil machinists throughout tho country ou
Monday next unless all employers signed
tho agreement for u working day o( nine
hours and an Increase of 12V6 per cent In
wnges. "There is little doubt in my mind,"
Secretary Wilson said, "that the strike will
actually tako p'lncc, hut tho employers have
until Saturday pext to come to our terms.
That is the last working duy be-
foro tho date set (or tho order
to go Into effect. Tho strike, If It takes
place, will affect only 150,000 men. On the
contrary It will affect close to tfOo.noo. The
machinists alone who will be called out will
number 150,000, but ull trades depending
upon tho machinists for their tooh will be
brought to a standstill.
"An erroneous opinion prevails that this
strike will mean the practical stoppage of
nil work on public hulldlngft nnd great con
tracts like tho rapid transit subway. It
will do nothing of tho kind. In this sec
tion about 10,000 of our men will be
affected, tho district, of course, taking In
Manhattan, Brooklyn and Jersey City. Thut,
however, does not Includo half the num
ber of machinists employed here."

passed anything ever before seen In this
part of the country.
After leaving Del Monte this morning
tho cabinet carried out tho itinerary ns
originally planned, stopping nt Pajaro and
Santa Ciuz and visiting tho big trees in
tho San Lorenzo valley, but they hud no
heart to put Into the festivities In tho nb
senco of their chief nnd tho keen regret
of tho people, which wns shown on their

of regret for Mrs. McKlnley's Illness and

WASHINGTON. Mny 13 (Special Tele
gram.) -Senator Millard evidently believes
In nipping wrong Impressions In tho bud.
An unofllclal list of the senators of the
Fifty-seventh tor.grcCs was recently Is
sued by the secretary "of the senate, giv
ing Senator Dietrich thu long and Senator
Millard, tho short term. This list fell Into
the hands of Senator Millard and he has
asked that the proper correction be made.
Tho list, which wns marked imntllclnl,
showed that Dietrich's term of seivhu ex
pired March 3, 1907, nnd Millard's term
Mnrch 3, 1005. It was clearly nn error of
the printer, the dates having been reversed
on the makeup, but Senator Millard at once
called the attention of Secretary Dennett
to tho error and a now unofllclal list will
bo Issued at. once
The list Is Interesting in some other rn
spects, ns It shows eighty-eight senators
nccrcdltcd to the Fifty-seventh congress,
Delaware being the only state not repre-
I sented. Senator Dolllver Is marked ns fill
ing a temporary appointment, having been
reappointed by Governor Shaw on Mnrch I.

HAVANA, May 13. The Cuban constitu
tional convention met today in secret ses
sion and considered the report of the com
mittee that went to Washington to ob
tain more dellnite Information regarding
the Intention of tho United States gun ru
in cut.
General Snugully objected to the report
on the ground of Incompleteness, pointing
out thnt tho committed made no recom
mendations. "They were rent to Washington," he said,
with tho object of getting soiuo of the
bases changed, but they offer no explana
tion as to why the change could not bu
effected, nor do they express an opinion
regarding acceptance or rejection of thu
Plntt amendment, as we had expected they
would."
Senors Llunio, Tauo and Hctnncourl re
plied that Secretary Root had said tho
based could nut bu changed, as the Plntt
amendment was tho tllinl policy of thu
Washington ndmlnlstj'atlon. It was there
fore useless, thoy said, for them to Insist
upon a change, but. thu construction Mr.
Root had put upon the bnses, together with
his assurances that thu United Stntcn
would establish nn independent govern
ment In Cuba and would not Interfere with
Cuban soverlenty inituenccd them In favor
of accepting the amendment, although they
did not recommend this cuuruu In tho re
port.

Senor Portuoudo declared that ho did
not agree with his colleagues who had al-
ready spoken, but wus opposed to accept
ing the Piatt amendment.
Senor Capoto was not present, but It Is
understuod thnt ho agrees with tho ma
jority.
Senor Junn Gtiulbertn Gomez moved thnt
tho report be referred to the committee
on relations, whoso lust report has still
to bo acted upon. He udmittcd that thu
conunltteo's visit to Washington had thrown
new light upon tho amendment, but ho
thought It only Just that tho committee.'
"fthoiild bo allowed itn opportunity to ohnugu
the report in order to confirm to tho new
conditions.
An attempt was made to tako an Im
mediate vote with reference to tho amend
ment, but the motion uf Senor Gonicz wna
flnnlly carried, tho committee being In
structed to act promptly. It is expected
that sovcral days will elapse beforo tho

vention. A movement Is on foot to delay
action until after thu munlclpnl elections.
