EDISON CHEATED OF HIS HOLDINGS
Rumors in Wall Street of His Retire.
ment and the Causas.

NEW YORK, Feb. I9.-It is rumored in Wall
street that Thomas A. Edison is dissatisfied with
the projected consolidation of the Edison Gen
eral Electric Company and the Thomson Hous-
ton Electric Company, and that he will retire, IL
indeed he is not practically frozen out
He said he owned only one-tenth OF the
stock OF the Edison Company, which controls
nearly all his patents, and with asmall portion
OF the whole stock wGs practically powerless.
The fact that he has only comparatively small
amount OF stock is interesting in itself, as
showing that Edison is sharing the fate of in
yentors generally. Other meu have a majority,
and are drawing dividends. II is believed that
through his Ignorance of the ways of Wall
street he was outwitted, and some one else
obtained control of his stock. No one has been
able TO lind out definitely what Edison thinks of
the consolidation scheme, as he has refused to
discuss the matter. BY the terms of the con-
solidation the capital stock OF the Edison COM
pany can be exchanged for sl00,0oo,000 of stock
in the new company, and the Thomson Houston
company gets sis,i0o000 of stock in the new
company.

LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch has been re-
ceived from Rio Janerio giving details of an
other outbreak in one of the provinces of Brazil
This manifestation was made on the 10th in

ties. The combined force of students
and soldiers attacked the residence of
General Claringa, governor OF Ceara, with can
non handled with much effect. The police and
a large number of loyal citizens offered their
services to the governor, who barricaded his
residence. and they defended the place against
the desperate assaults OF the enemy. After a
hot battle, lasting for thirteen hours, the gov
ernor found he would be unable to hold out,
and was forced to surrender to the insurgents

were killed during the assault and a large num-
Der OF both forces wounded. The insurgents

NO CHANGE OF DATE,
To Avoid Confusion, the Demo-
cratic Convention Aug. 20.

cratic Convention Aug. 20
The slight friction that has been en-
gendered in the Democratic cougres.
sional committee of the Fifth district
has added interest to the contest for
the Democratic congressional nomina-
ton. 1t is practically admitted that an
attempt was made to manipulate the
congressional committee in the interest
of James w. Lawrence, The opponents
of Lawrence say this, and his adherents
do not deny it with much force. Chair
man Jepson admtS-or did admit until
the question was raised-that the list of
precinct committees which he attempt
ed to force down the threats of
the committeeman was prepared
under the supervision of Mr.. Lawrence.
But the committee wouldn't stand it,
and JepsOn's list was thrown out. When
the committee became alive to the at
temps being made to manipulate it,
there was dissatisfaction. There was a
good-siZed sentiment in favor of re-
pudiating the call of the convention
issued by Mr.. Jepson. 1t is claimed
that 1t was set for late date i'm the in
terest of Mr.. Lawrence-so that the
county convention could be called for
an earlier date. But there will be no
advantage in it. Well, that call for the
congressional convention was issued on
the responsibility of Mr.. Jepson alone.
He secured the consent of some mem
berS of the committee 10 the date desired
by him by representing that other
members of the committee had agreed
to it, members who had not been seen
at all. All who did agree to that date
did so because matters were misrepre-
scented to them. Another thing. The
official cali. although published with
the name of the secretary attached, was
never signed by the secretary. He did
not know that the call had been drawn
up until it had been published.
When. on top of this, Jepson attempt
ed to appoint all precinct committees
himself. there was kick. Many of the
committee were in favor of issuing an
other call for the convention, setting a
date different from the one selected by
JepsOn. The subcommittee, to which
had been delegated the power of calling
the convention. met Yesterday to decide
whether to issue another call. The de-
cision was to allow the date to remain
as it is. The subcommittee clearly had
right to call the convention for an
otner date, but decided otherwise to
avoid confusion. The date as set in the
Jepson call will stand. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether Mir. Lawrence's in
terestS will be furthered by the means
that have been resorted to.
1t is only fair to say in connection
with this congressional convention mat
ter that e. NJ. Foote denies all COM
plfcity in the preparation of the Jepso-
MAN list of precinct committees. Mr.
Foote SAID yesterday:
IL was asked for list of the precinct
committees that had served under the
two conventions called this season by
