This agreement ends the engineers’ strike on lake steamers, which had been on for ENGLISH SPIRIT GENERAL RALLY IN WAL STREET After the Settlement With Shorts. Tentative Adjustment of the | Northern Pacific Crisis Gives Satisfaction. NEW YORK, May 13.—Under reassuring news from London to the effect that a basis of settlement with Northern Pacific shorts had been agreed upon and that J. P. Morgan was lending the stock “flat” for delivery in that market, the Stock Ex- change began the day strong. The first trading was well distributed throughout the list at prices generally higher than on the close Friday. Union Pacific sold at 116 a few minutes after 10 o'clock, showing a gain of $40 a share as compared with Thursday’s low point. Developments in Northern Pacific are awaited with the keenest interest, but it was the general opinion in Wall street to- day that it would be some time before the question of control would be definitely set- tled. It is believed that one party to the controversy holds control through the pre- ferred stock and that several intricate le- gal points are involved concerning the right of the directors of the company to retire the preferred stock at par and thus deprive it of its voting power. The rise in Union Pacific was accom nted by a similar but not so extens! movement in Amalgamated Copper, which, opening at 116%, sold up to 120%, an a vance of 5% as compared with Friday's It subsequently declined to 118%. There were selling orders In Union Pa- cific above 120, and the stock fell back to 116%, but an immediate rally followed. To- ward noon the market became quieter and weaker and generally declined on_ small transactions. There was no sale of North- ern Pacific common until 11:30, when a sale of 100 shares was made at 160, an ad- Valn('e of ten points from Friday's last sale. LONDON, May 13.—The Stock Exchange committee and J. P. Morgan have come to the rescue of the situation, and the dif- ficulty in which operators and brokers who have given calls for Northern Pacifie for the end of May and July found them- selves is satisfactorily settled. The committee decided that the “buying in” of Northern Pacific common and pre- ferred be suspended for the present. This means that the stock need not be deliv- ered immediately. The committee also fixed the making-up price of Northern Pacific common at 140. Morgan is lending Northern Pacific at “evens’—that is, for nothing. Decided satisfaction has been expressed on the Stock Exchangs here over the ten- | tative settlement of tne Northern Pacific crisis. s The representatives here of Kuhn, | Loeb & Co., Powell, Jackson & Georger, | #aid to a representative of the Assoclated Press: There fs much nervousness in view of the fact that the relfef may be only temporary and that another crisis may be precipitated by the action of either Morgan or Harriman. The sus- pension of the settlement announced by. the | committee this morning is of indefinite dura- | tion, but each day gained helps the liquidation | of acccunts. The brokers who are the worst | affected generally hold options on Northern Pa- cific and they can realize in June and July. In | the meantime salvation depends on the leniency | of Mr. Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. e PROTECTING WESTERN ROADS Plan Relating to Burlington Is Being | ‘Worked Out. | NEW YORK, May 13—The Evening Post says: It is believed that some ar- | rangement will be worked out by which | Burlington will be held so that it cannot possibly be operated to Injure any of the | western railroads. That is, the Union | Pacific will not only get an interest in the | property, but-the St. Paul, which next to | the Union_Pacific was most ceriously jeopardized by the passing of Burlington's control to the Northern transcontinental lines, will share in the Burlington c tract, so that it will be removed absolu | Iy as a disturbing factor in the railrc situation. It is not believed that J. P. Morgan & Co. will be displaced as the interest responsible before the public for | the management of the property, but | there was some suggestion to-dav that | the alllance between Hill and Morgan, |wh|<'h has been of only about six months" | duration, will be ended. There is | grounds 'for saying that while Hill has | probably retained the large interest in Northern Pacific which he acauired last summer, when the stock declined below 30 on the reduction of the dividend, the most influential of Hill's friends in the diree- torate have liquidated their heidings. | They were, with Hill, who is not a North- | ern "Pacific director, the most enthusias- | tie advocates of the Burlington deal. This was long opposed by the older Northern Pacific people. Question of Dollars and Cents. CHICAGO, May 13.—The general con- good had r.

Milton Royle's interesting comedy drama “Friends” was again presented at the Al- cazar Theater last night to a crowded house.

If ever there existed a tolerably good play, hampered with an intolerablv bad title, that play is “Government Accept- ance.” There is nothing in the name to suggest the humor that bubbles from the lips of that realistic liar, N. Tecumseh Sheridan, or that surrounds with a halo of merriment the wabbling figure of Cap- tain Paul Rainerd. These are the funny | characters that atone for the bad name | of the play and they are well handled by | Fmmett Shackelford as the soldier and T. ! 3. McGrane as the jovial sea captain. The | merious roles are those of Robert Gordon, the electrician, who has a boat to sell to the Government, and Richard Bund- | age, his rival, and the execrated villain of the comedy drama. Gordon, in the hands of Jack Webster, is a hero-in plain life, who carries with him from start to finish the sympathy of the audience and Brund- age, as portrayed by Asa Lee Willard, ‘won not a few hisses for his clever imper- sonation. Florence Stone has the part of a vain but good hearted woman and Ma- thilde Choate does the widow Kingsley most sympathetically. Orpheum. James O. Barrows is back at the Or- pheum in “A Thoroughbred,” a worthy successor 1o the military playlet in which he scored so heavily last year.

Fischer's Concert House. Fischer's Concert-house was packed to its utmost capacity last night and the new programme was thoroughly appre- ciated. Augusta Salvini, the ginging sou- brette, scored a hit, as did also De Boe, styled the “‘upside down” man, who per- forms seemingly impossible feats on the flying trapeze. Miss Clara Palmer Hyde, a’ violinist of rare ability, responded to | three encores and Viola Bancroft and Joseph Damery gave an entertaining sketch entitled “The Result of Flirta- tion.” Alhambra.

Other good numbers are Madeline Franks, in songs and dances; Powers and Freed, musical artists; Carroll, the whis- tler; the Samayoas, aerfal artists; Maud Mclntyre and new moving pictures.

A checker contest for the championship of the Pacific Coast will be played at the Mechanics’ Institute next Sunday from 9 to 12 in the morning and 1 to 5 in the af- ternoon between H. M.

It Is a grievous re- trogpect. Yet from it any suggestion of wrong on the part of the empire is abso- Jutely absent.

We know from experience the danger of let- ting Ireland have a measure of independ- cnee.

DENVER, May 13.—Two hundred and fifty brickmakers of this city are out as a result of a refusal of the manufacturers to accept the new scale of wages demand- ed by &e Brickworkers' Union.
