New York, March 22.— Following a
day of great excitement in the stock
market and numerous conferences
among the leading financial interests, |
the new pan of the Nerthern Securi-
ties company was made public this aft-
ernoon,
in substance it provides for a stock
dividend of 99 per cent, this to be ef-
fected by a reduction of that amount in
the capital stock of the company. For
every share of the Northern Securities
stock surrendered the company will de-
liver $39.27 stock of the Northern Pa.
cific Railway compan end >30.17 or
the Great Northern Railway company.
The shares of the Northern Pacific
company which are taken by the North-
ern Securitis company at 115 and
those of the Great Northern at ISO will
be distributed on this basis.
. The other assets of the Securities
company. consisting chiefly of, it. Chit
cago, Burlington and Quincy holdings,
and that of Northern Pacific coal landAe
will remain in the treasury of the com-
pany until some plan for their distri-
bution has beg evolved. The notice
of a new plan which is signed by Presi-
dent Hill under this date, was sent to
the Northern Seouities stockholders in
a circular letter, which says in part:.,
“The company's acquisition of North-
ern Pacific and Great Northern shares
Was made in the full benef that:such

company and proportionate amounts
thereof for each fraction of a share of

."As required by the laws of the state
of New Jersey, under which the com-
pany was created, a special meeting
of the shareholders has been called for |
April 21, 1904. at 11 o’clock, at the of-
fice of the company in Hoboken.
"For the purpose of this meeting
the stock transfer books will be closed
April 18, at 3 o’clock.
"Holders of this company"s stock to
a large extent have already expressed
their approval of the recommendation
of the board, but the laws of New Jer-
sey require a two-thirds vote of share-
holders to permit the company to re-
duce its capital stock. Such vote is the
first step for the preparation of distri-
bution of the railway company’s shares.
The collection of May and subsequent
dividends on such shares being forbid-
den by the decree until such distribu-
tion has been made, the importance of
promptly executing and forwarding
proxies is obvious.

•rnol Odell, to get so many advantages
In the preliminary bouts that all dan-
ger of a straight gontest between
them seemed to have passed. But
Platt has become awake and the poli-
ticians of both parties are trying to
learn what it was that caused him to
shake his gory locks in the faceo
Odell again. It is more than surmised
that the President has persuaded the
aged senator that he will stand with
him against Odell, and has bidden him
to enter the lists for snother grapple
with his enemies. If this surmise of
the Republican politicians is shown to
be correct it will mean a war on the
President by the Odell men. There is
precious little use for the President
entertained by Odell and his chief sup-
porters now. There will be open war-
fare if Odell’s latest suspicion is con-
firmed. Ths truth of it is that neither
side of the bitter controversy in the
President’s own stste has trusted him.
He has played fast and loose with both
factions and has never been admired by
either. Circumstances show Odell to be
the boss_ofthe empire state Republi-
can machine in every sense of the word,
and. it~Isthought to have been very
foolish on the part of the President
to have had one word to say In favor of
Platt. But there is little doubt that he
has done so. Odell refused to come to
Washington to see the President, be-
cause his name had been used in the
Bristow report, and he accused the
President of allowing it to be men-
tioned. This refusal and open defiance
of the President by Odell may have
been the reason for the determination
of Platt to force the fighting
At any rate, there is a great deal of
fun of the Texas Republican order now-
on in New York. The various clans
have not used chairs and bench legs
on each others' heads, as in the case of
the Foraker and Dick men n Ohio, but
