Indications That Their Fight for Place Is
Growing Bitter.
NEW y DIRK, Dec. 6.-Waner Miller came
to town last evening, and was quartered close
to the Hon. Thomas c. Platt in the Fifth
Avenue hotel Mr. Plntt was IN the spacious
corridors after dinner, and So was Mr. Mil
Ter, but they didn't happen TO see each other.
Yet at one time they were only ten feet
apart, but for all that it was stated by
authority that neither of the aspirants for
the treasury portfolio had met.
Mr. Platt was gracious and uucommunica-
tive and Mr.. Miller was equally So Mr.
Miller met many political friends who
wanted him to run first under the wire for
the place, hut were somewhat disturbed by
the apparent momentum Of Platts boom
But it was announced TINT Mr.. Miller would
be in town "a good deal more from this date
to look after his own interests, and perhaps
things for him win improve Mr. Miller
himself didn't want 10 talk about his cam
paign for the place
You'll have 70 excuse me,n he said to a
reporter who asked him about the situation
and he added; II have nothing TO say at the
moment and drawing on his gloves and
buttoning up his overcoat, he started out to
meet. 50 his friends said, John B. Elan Gen
Harrison's law partner, who is visiting New
York with political mission TO tie Biz
Four. Mr.. Miller's friends declared that Mr..
Miller would advance bis claims 10 the port
folio solely oD his campaign for gov
ernor IN the state and the assertion
that his high license issue so split
the Prohibition party that success for the
national Republican ticket was assured bv
the accession Of the electoral vote Of New
York state. They were not at all pleased
later when II was pointed out that neither
Gen Harrison nor his representative. MIR
Elan, was inclined TO view claims based upon
the high license issue with mitch more CON
sideration- 1t was emphatically declared by
the friends Of the two aspirants that one Of
the main reasons which has influenced the
president-elect in the choice Of a cabinet
member from New York is the conviction
that it viii not be judicious to burden the
policy Of his administration with any dis
tinctive state issue.

Of 10000 by a former clerk named Frank
II. Bates A short time since Hutchinson
purchased board OF trade membership for
young Bates, and tho latter took an active
cart IN the interests of Hutchinson during
the September wheat corner
Bates lived fast life and spent large
sums OF money in company with dissolute
companions, which coming 10 the knowl-
edge Of his employer, a quiet investigation
was made, which resulted in the dismissal Of
Bates several days ago. Further investiga-
tion shows that Bates, through his member
ship on the board, which was really owned
by Hutchiwon, had, while acting for his
principal used the knowledge he possessed
Of the latters speculative intentions to buy
OF sell grain, as the case might be, for his
own account, before operating for Hutchn-
son, whose deals later on, through Bates,
would give the hitter profit, as the market
advanced or declined, on "Old Hutch'sn

Bates has fled from the city, and as John
Lonergan, the selling clerk on the board
