Hill, will compromise. , Their differences will be amicably settled. The Northern Securities will be dissolved and pass Into history, while the Northern systems, of which Hill is the great power, : will go on as before, and the Union Pacific Pa-cific will pursue the even tenor of Its ' way, with the added advantage Qf haying ; a close traffic arrangement with the Burlington; Bur-lington; the latter a part of the Hill group of roads. ' , Harriman, to whom Is allied the great Kuhn-Loeb, Bpeyer and Standard Oil millions, mil-lions, has forced Hill to compromise, although It Is an onen secret that Hill's plan to build the Butts and San i Francisco line was a bluff that worked well for a time In forcing the issue.' Harriman Har-riman does not wlrh to enter Into any arrangement with the two Northern lines, but the Burlington Is a direct connection con-nection of his Union Pacific, and this line will hereafter become an ally of the Overland Route. Harriman will not appeal from the recent re-cent court decision Involving the Northern North-ern Pacific stock In the Northern Securities Securi-ties case, but will abide by the last decision, and this means that the famous corporation which for several years has stirred financial circles to the very bottom, bot-tom, will become Inactive through Its own decline, and will soon pass into memory. The threatened building of a line to San Francisco from Butte will be abandoned by Hill, and all will be at peace once more. |
