NEW YORK,; Jan. 16.— The theory .
that J. P. Morgan and J. J. Hill are ',
secretly buying the control of j the ',
Union Pacific railroad system to re- ]
tallate on ' E. '. H. Harriman and } John [

There has-been a mysterious 'buying '■',
of Union Pacific stock and .certain '
persons claim to have evidence ■ that
the deal Is actually, under way for the
control of the Union Pacific. !The t 'con- '
trol'is said to lie ;in the j open .market, i

portant of which 'is .the. steady rise in
the price of. ; Union. Pacific, from 71' to
120 in , the . face of: determined efforts
of Harriman's; party to depress It.
.It Is now believed, even in' the Union

this stock were working for Morgan

about Harriman's office.. ' His friends
believe Hill and Morgan , will at least
get enough stock to demand a retire- ,
