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 [
D. Rockefeller, for snatching the"/ North -; '

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
That is, neither party owns 'an actual !
majority of ■ stock, i Harriman and his |
friends have never held <more than 30 ]
per cent.;, _ „ '-*■•. i " ■'
Many facts Un connection -with .this
rumor look, suggestive, .the , most, im
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
Pacific j offices, , that the mysterious
strong p.ar ties who have taken all of
this stock were working for Morgan
and Hill. There Is much nervousness
about Harriman's office.. ' His friends
believe Hill and Morgan , will at least
get enough stock to demand a retire- ,
