NEW YOHK, June 3. The Press to
morrow will say that one tremendous con
solidation of all the rullro-ids operating
botween tho Mississippi river and tho Pa
cific roast promlscu to result from a sot
ttemenl of the differences which caused
tho Northern I'nclllc comer.
The Press will say that It Is "ablo to
announce on the highest authority that not
only have the differences been settled be.
twecn tho Morgan-Hill faction and thfc
llarrlman party regarding the Burlington
deal and the relations of that railroad ana
tho Northern Pacific and tho U"rcat North
ern with the Union Parlflc, but that the
St. Paul, Chicago & Northwestern and Chi
cago Great Western will bo taken caro of
In the great hnrmonltatlon scheme.
"Tho exact details of the harmony agree
ment am withheld until J. Plorpont Mor
gan arrives from Europe Ho will sail for
this country tomorrow (Wednesday). James
J. Hill, who has been his representative in
tho Northern Pacific conflict and tho prac
ileal management of the Morgan-Hill rail-
loads, tins remained 'Incommunicado, gi
lnc to hlii friends tho assurance that they
must 'wait and see. Facts will toll tint
talo In good time.' "
In Mr, Hill's simple explanation Is tho
whole truth In a nutshell. Tho agreement
recording tho controversy over the con
trol of the Northern Paclflo means that
that property will remain In the control
of tho Morgan-Hill faction, although the
Kuhn-Loob-Harrlman-Gould faction and the
Rockefeller and Stlllman Interests own the
majority of tho common and preferred
stock, and finally that the harmony agree
ment will result In a closer ajllanco be
tween tho great transmlsslsslppl railroads
which extend from Chicago to the coast
nd havo affiliations, to carry American
products to tho far oast.

DEADLY AMERICAN PERIL

PAUIS, Juno 3. In tnt, Chamber of
Deputies today M. Dcb Tournelles de Con
slant asked tho foreign minister, M. Del-
casse. for a Rtntnmpnf nn tVin Phlnmn itllit-
Hon. In tho course of his remarks tho
deputy alluded to American business com
petition, saying tho "American peril" was
advancing toward them with methodical
rapidity. Tho Napoleons of American In
dustry declared openly that their entcr-
prlso meant the conquest ot Europe and Its
oconomlo ruin. Tho "yellow peril" was
raoro distant than the "American peril,"
but the Chinese hro" given a warning which
ought not to be neglected.
M. Dclcasse replied in a reassuring man-
ner regarding China. Ho said the French
troops would leave at the earliest possible
moniont. The powers onlv Insisted on
measures of Justice, having the character
of reparation for tho past and guaranties
for the future. Regarding the Indemnity,
Franco thought tho Immediate payment of
a lump sum was preferable. China ac
cepted the prlnclplo of nn Indemnity some
months ago, and It now consents to pay
the Indemnity demanded. It Is said It will
pay with Its customs duties. But commer
cial relations will not be Injured, as It is
intimated that China Itself will pay tho In
demntty, which was only Just, and also tho
expenses Incurred by tbo cowers.
M. Des Tournelles de Constant suggestod
that the powers a,;ree not to accept exorbi
tant private claims, to which M. Delcassa
replied .that , tho chief clalra.MdlvadxLopronilsslons wcro signed by tho president
