Lord Hoscbery has caused a profound po

Why 1lie Klnir Shun Pnlillelty.
Thero are threo explanation for this

the king. One Is his falling health, which
la said to havo begun to tell on his appear

The third is that ho was told by the kaiser

ruler who Is most rarely seen by his sub

There Is a social uprising against tho

CHICAGO, Nov. 16. (Special.) It Is re
ported on high authority that tho battlo
for supremacy between tho two syndicates
organized for the control of western rail
way properties, nnd headed respectively by
11111 and Harrlmau, has been fought out
and Hill Is the victor.
Tho pilnclpul bono of contention was tbo
control of tho Northern Pacific. Tho llar
riman nyndlcatc owned a controlling In
terest lu tho preferred stock of that com
pany and not only did It Insist on holding
tho stock, but In an equal voto on tbo
board of directors. Tho Hill syndicate In
sisted on the retirement of the said stock
and on a majority of the directors. The
latter won on both propositions.
Another bono of contention nas the build
ing of additional road by tho Ilurllngton.
The Hnrrlman syndicate endeavored to
mako It part of tbo agreement that tho
Uurllngton should extend Its line no fur
ther westward, particularly tho lino look
ing to Ogdon and Salt Lake. This propo
sition was hotly contested and for a llmo
promised to disrupt tho agreement, but tho
Dostun Interests, marshaled by ex-I'resl-dent
Perkins, stubbornly resisted tho bot
tling up of tho DurllDgton In this way and
Harrtmnn was again defeated.
IIIU'h Victory Complete.
Knowing ones say that Harrlman has
been completely outgeneraled by Hill and
that tho agreement as It now stands puts
tho Interests represented by him In such
Jeopardy that open disruption may como
at any tlino. It is said that the road being
promoted by Senator Clark from Salt Lake
to tho Pacific coast Is In fact a Ilurllng
ton project nnd that this is tho reason
why Harrlman endeavored to bead off this
competitor against tbo Union Pacific by
making It part of tho agreement that tho
Ilurllngton Hbould build uo more to tho
westward. When It becomes an established
fact that Senator Clark's rood is a Ilur
llngton enterprise It will collapse, as as
suranco of no Interest In tho Clark road
on tho. part of the Uurllngton Is all that
kept tho deal from fulling through.
On equally good authority It is stated
that tho signal triumph of Hill was achieved
through tho usslstancn of ex-President Per
kins and his eastern friends and that the
support rendered him was conditioned on
a continuation of the present executive
officers of tho Durllngton In office. Tho
reported upheavals In official sources will
not occur. Thero will be no material
chango in tho officers of tho Uurllngton
or any of Its adjuncts. Ex-Presldcnt Pcr
klnB will hnvo an active voice In tho man
agement and President Harris and Genoral
Manager Holdrego will, it Is said, bo re
tained In their respective positions. Tho
fact that cx-Presldent Perkins, President
Harris nnd Genoral Manager Holdrege nro
soon to leave on an oxtended tour of In
spection of tho western lines would Indi
cate that no change Is contemplated as re
gards these officers. Ilesldes, both Harris
and Holdrege aro looked upon with much
favor by Hill. In fact, for several years
Hill has been endeavoring to Induce Harris
to lcavo tho Durllngton and tako a po
sition with tho Great Noithern. It Is not
very long ago that he tcmWrd him a posi
tion, uccompanled by a handsomu Increase
In ralary, but Harris declined.
Miller for Tronic Mnnnurr
It Is admitted that a change will be made
in tho traffic department and that Darius
Miller will soon occupy the samo position
with tho Hill syndicate lines as Stubbs
does with the Harrlman. Miller Is Hill's
rlghthand man on tho Great Northern.
Ono thing likely to extend the tenuro of
office of tho Incumbent Durllngton officials
Is that tho system Is now earning a con
siderable amount over the guaranteed S
per cent dividend. The last annual report
showed that tho earnings were below tbo
new Interest charges and this brought down
criticism on Hill from tho holders of North
em Pacific ond Great Northern securities.
For the lust quarter ending September 30,
1901, the earnings of the Durllngton wero
at the rate of 9.07 per cent on tbo stock
outstanding before tho property woh ab
sorbed. In other words, the earnings aro
nt tho rate of 4 per cent on the collateral
trust bonds Issued by the Great Northern
nnd Northern Pacific in exchange for the
old Durllngton stock at 200. As tbo col
lateral trust bonds bear 4 per cent Inter
est It will bo seon that tho not profit to
the promoters Is now one-half of 1 par
rent. The estimated revenuo for tho pres
ent fiscal year Is: Freight, $37,700,000;
passenrer, $12,300,000; mall and miscel
laneous, $4,8SO,000, making a total of $31,
869,000. Operating exponses are estimated
at $36,100,000, with fixed charges, not In
eluding dividends, of $9,600,000. This makcu
the cost of operation $13,(00,000 and shows
a net earning of $9,980,000, or 9.07 per
cent earned on old stock. Under such con
ditions the 8 per cont guaranty will leave
a handsome profit for tbo Hill syndicate,
nor Is It likely that thero will bo any dis
position on the pwt of Hill to mako
changes In tho offlerrs in the face of such
a showing.
It Is evident that after all the agreement
Is not to extend ns far as was at first in
tended. Harrfman's defeat In falling to
bottle up the Durllngton has narrowed It
down to a traffic agreement only, and while
co-operation will prevail In tho making
of rntes, and. In some degree, In tho main
taining of rates, and the distribution of
traffic, there will be no relaxation in the
extension- of lines and competition In this
respect between the two great co-operating
yet rival syndicates will prevail as before.

LINCOLN, Nov. 16. (Special Telegram.)
Nebraska, 29; Knnsnr,
This was tho result of tho one-slded
contest which this afternoon gavo Ne
br.iskn the Interstate, championship, and.
what Is still moro dear to the hearts of thi
local enthusiasts, demonstrated Us supr
rlority over the ouoe Invincible Jayhawkeis
Tho lono score of five was the outcome of i.
bail fumble, combined with tho gift of ten
ynrds' distance because of it foul by ono
of tho Coruhuskcrs. Flvo touchdowns and
four goals wore gained against Kansas with
surprising easo mid only when it gnincd
Its single score did Kansas get anywhere
near tho Nebraska goal line.
Must headway wns mado ngntnst the
visitors by territlo line bucking. End rum
were not mi offectlvo as plays straight
through tho center. During the first half
there was considerable punting by both
teams and tho Jaylmwkcrs resorted to this
play repeatedly to save losing tho ball on
down. Captain Westover was bark In bis
old position at right tackle and played
throughout the game In whirlwind fashion
Ralph Drain, the dlmiuutlvc, was u dan
gerous enemy of tho visitors nud to him
credit Is duo for most of tho ground gained.
Tho grandstand and bleachers were filled
almost to overflowing when tho two teann
came prancing Into the field. Scarlet nnd
cream gleamed everywhere, with now und
then an evidence of tho Kansas red nnd
purple. The organized rooters kept things
lively during the Intermissions, condoled
the Jnyhawkers whon they began to loso
spirits and applauded tho Cornhuskers
when good plays were made. At Interval?
the baud gave an Indication of what wa.i
to follow later In tho evening by sending
forth tho familiar "Hot Time In the Old
Town Tonight."
Governor Somite Kick Off.
Tbc game started with nn Innovation.
The ball was carefully placed In tho center
of tho field nnd thp twenty-two swarthy
combatants assumed their various positions.
This much was nccordlug to tho usual cus
tom, but not so with tho klckoff, which
was performed by Governor Savage. Tak
iug a short run, ho advnncud tuvngcly
toward tho ball and rnlsed It with n well
delivered thrust of his foot. Tho ball went
forty yards Into Kansas territory, but ac
cording to provloiiR agreement wns brought
back to bo kicked off by a member of tho
Nebrnska team. Thu Kansans used tbo
tackles and the guards buck formation,
but without nvnll. Occasionally tho team
gained its distance on downs, only to Io;n
tho ball before getting oven within re
spectable distance of tho gnul.
Townrd the close of tho first half Ne
braska fumbled In Kansas turrltory and a
Jayhnwker grabbed the ball nnd ran sev
enty yards before being brought to thu
ground by a terrific tackle. An additional
ten yards, given because of n foul, brought
the visitors within n fow yards of the goal
line nnd a touchdown wns .made. Tho goal
was missed, leaviug only tbo single scoro.
To Drummngo Is tho credit for crouslug
