A quiet movement to wage a big fight at the March primaries for the centrol of the Republican party in this Senatorial district came to the surface today and it is said that prom- inent leaders are organizing to wrestle with John A. Merritt and those who have been in the ascendency for years. The smoothness with which plans are being laid only gives emphasis to the determination of the antis to get things perfectly organized before the first blow is struck. As yet no word has been passed out to the voters but it is expected that the breach will be made public within a short time so that the lines of battle may be pre- pared. The spring primaries in March will mean the control of the delegates to the National convention and a few of the leaders outside of Mr. \Territt de- sire to have the honor of offering agara and Orleans. The real leadership of the fight against the Machine is not known. It is believed to be made up of men who are prominent, and strong politically. It is said that Orleans will lead the A- contest. The powers that be in that county claim Merritt has been giving them the worst of it. Patronage is so scarce down Orleans way that there i: the deepest kind of dissatisfaction which evidenced itself at the famous deadlock senatorial convention - one year ago when the Republicans from Orleans refused to sacrifice themselves to Niagara and preferred to let their party nomination go by default. It is said that Orleans refuses to Play ball with Merritt and will al- ways be on the outs with the local Republican leaders. They want new control and this is said to be the pur- pose in agitating the March fight. Indications are that the contest will rival the bitter fight between Porter and Merritt and there is even tall that to gain their end the new anti faction proposes to adopt the Progressive Republicans' ideas and wage - war on Merritt on the ground that the Merritt machine is a stand- -patter. The Republican voters are said to be in sympathy with the proposed movement and the leaders have found that they will have strong support from all quarters. Central and Laks Share to Consolidate [United Press Association.] New York, Dec. 28.-The New York Central Railroad Company sent out yesterday to holders of the company's $% per cent Lake Shore collateral ' {bonds a letter which asks the bond- | holders to consent to the company's programme of consolidating the New York Central and Hudson River Rail- road with the Lake Shore and Michi- gan Southern Railroad. As stated in the letter the plan of the com. ny is to get the necessary assent of the holder of three quarters of those bonds, then consolidate the two railroads, giving to the bondhold- ers simply a different security behind their bonds after Lake Shore stock is wiped out by putting upon the New York Central itself a mortgage second only to ths already existing general mortgage for $100,000.000. A second letter sent out to holders of Michigan Central collateral 3% per cent bonds seeks a similar consent to possible future consolidations, but it is the less pressing of the two re- quests because the Central manage- ment does not plan to consolidate that road with the New York Central it- self, but possibly to consolidate the Michigan Central with some minor lines in its own territory sometime rather far in the future. Russia (0 m an MS [United Press ASSOciationJ ST. PBTERSBURG, Dec. 283.-Rus- sia will wage a tariff war on the Uni- ted States at the expiration of the treaty of 1832 if a bill introduced in the Duma today by Ex-President Gu- choff, is enacted into law.
