vAnOeRs'Lrs ARE PINcHED.

Bosroy, Feb. W.-An interesting story ID
given out by the Boston news bureau AZ
the true history oa the Reading affair. 1t
seems that after Charles O. Parsons devel-
oped the network of roads in Northern
New York into the Rome, Watertown &
Ogdensburg system J. Pierpont Morgan
went before the directors meeting of the
New York Genital and asked them if they
were aware that at little cost the new sys-
tenn could parable! the New York Central
and connect with the Fitchburg at Albany.
They were startled and bought Parsons
system to keep It from possible connec-
tion with the New England. A few
months later Parsons appeared in the New
York q New England. Morgan went
to the New York, New Haven 4
Hartford people and told them to
pinch Parsons ill they could and
not allow him to build up the line as he
did against the New York Central. The
'pinching" policy was inaugurated forth
with, but suddenly Mcleod. Of the Read
ing road. appeared upon the scene and an
nounced that he had purchased the con-
troll OF the New York 4 New England in
the interest OF his company. Parsons and
almost everyone else refused to believe
this, but Morgan was convinced and asked
Mcleod to turn the control over to him.
Mcleod refused xnd preparations for a
war were Immediately begun on both sides.
Morgan got all his companies into shape
so they could not be disturbed by commo-
tions In the money market. Mcleod
locked up the control of the New
York & New England, and his
friends Immediately began selling their
Reading stock. and some Reading people
have scored handsome profit by being
short of Reading in the market. The re-
suit is that the Mcleod party is in . posi-
tion today to buy back all the Reading
they sold and more The stock was worth
intrinsically SO per share more than ever
before; its property and holdings are
among the best in the country. The con-
spiracy against Readings finance will be
checkmated by the receiver in the interest
of the company. o. course it is the Penn
sylvania- V anderbilt- Wagner-Drexe Nor
gan interest against the Reading Pullman
New England interest. The Reading peo-
pie today are stronger than most people
imagine.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 2-TSpecial. ION the
first ballot in today's joint convention
Senator Hutchinson carried out his an.
nounced purpose to break away from
Griggs. When his name was reached he
arose, and with increasing agitation read
from sheets Of paper the following:

Senator Hutchinson trembled visibly a.
he read, and the sheets of paper in his
hands shook as if blown BY . wind. The
applause, as he finished. was light. The
roll call proceeded without further change.
On the second ballot Mays attempted to
be sarcastic at the expense OF Hutchinson
BY saying when his name was called:

VERY funny row is raging among the
New York Democrats over the appointment
of j. j. Van Allen ambassador to Italy. Mr..
Van Allen is q gentleman whose father or
grandfather made great deal of money in
some business which he has taken great
deal of trouble to forget, in order to avoid
any contamination with trade" and he
spends 10 months of every year in Europe,
only coming to America during the season
at Newport, to live in great style in hand
some imitation English residence that he
has there. He gave $50, 900 to the Cleveland
campaign fund. This was his sole eonnec-
ton with the campaign, and the Tam
many and other leaders feel that they
have been shamefully treated in the
matter. The New York World is say
ing the harshest things of Mr.. Van Aliens
lack of Americanism, his contempt for the
country, his spending all his money abroad,
and his excessive aristocraey. On the other

very good Democrat, says that the appoint
ment is very fitting one, and highly pleas
ing to New York society. Mr.. McAllister
says that he has been familiar with the
Roman mission since 1856, and, with the ex-
ception of Lewis Cass and w. Waldorf Astor,
we have never had gentleman repre-
sent us there in all that time. He thinks
that Mr. Van Allen will do the honors of the
embassy in a most satisfactory manner. An
attempt is threatened to prevent his con-
irmation by the Senate. This will be
waste of time and effort. We can tell them
that Minister Van Allen will be confirmed.

vors greater freedom in commercial loans. Stocks

prices, the industries are rapidly rslying TO make
good the scarcity of supplies caused by weeks OF
inac!on. the vitality of the demand for goods
shows that the wonderful consuming power of the
people. if lessened for a fime has not ceased. and
the shriDkage in the record of commercial dis
ease and mortality shows progress toward health
This is stating the situation very con-
servatively. The country is entirely ready
to renew business activity, in fullest tide,
just as soon as it can have some definite
assurance as to what Congress proposes to
do with the tariff. This is now the great
bugbear. Everybody is eager to go ahead
with bis business enterprises, if he can feel
that the marring hand of the tariff tinkers
will be restrained.
In spite of this apprehension, the country,
as rule, feels that it can no longer remain
idle, and renewed activity is marked every
where. The aggregate clearances of the
banks all over the country are shade better
than the week before, showing an increase
of business. Railroad earnings show still
better, and among the factories 50 wholly
resumed, and "a in part, while only 10
closed, and eight reduced force. The busi-
ness failures for the week numbered only
319, with aggregate liabilities of over 81, 2,OOO,-
900 less than those of the previous week.
Only five failures were for more than $780,
QUO each.
An attempt has been made to get decis-
ration by Congress that any tariff bill that
may be passed shall not go into effect before
Jan. 1, 1895. If this were done its benei-
cent effect would be immediate and unmis-
taxable.
