New YoRX, Oct. 24.-Suit was brought
in the New York supreme court to-day
against the Unitel Press, for the ap.
pointment OF receiver and accounting.
The action runs against the United
Press, Charles A. Dana, William NJ.
Lallan, John r. Walsh, Walter B. Phil
lips and a half dozen other directors.
The complainant ia tue Evening News
Association, OF Detroit, Mich.
1t ia charged that the United Press
was organized under the laws OF New
York in 1882, and was reorganizad in
1884. The complainant held five shares
OF founders stock. For some years all
went we'll, but some time about the
close OF 1887 the officers formed a syndi-
cate among themselves for the organ
ization OF a new company under the
laws OF Illinois to take the business OF
gathering and collecting news off the
hands OF the original company.
The original company had n capital
stock of $4,000, but the new company
is capitalized for fifty times as much,
that is, for $l,0O0,000. On this basis
some OF the stockholders Of the New
York company were permitted to
exchange their shares in that company
for the new issue by the Illinois COM
pany, receiving % shares of the new
stock for every share they held OF tho
old. This deal completed, Il contract
was drawn up between the old COM
pany and the new whereby the million
dollar corporation undertook to take
charge OF the news business, and guar
auteed an annual dividend OF per cent,
to the $4,000 company. 1t proved 4
profitable deal for the favored stock
holders who were accorded the privilege
OF exchange of stock, for the new com
pany began forthwith to pay annual
dividends OF per cent, showing that
the same business would have yielded
200 per cent dividends to the stock
holders Of the old. The stock
holders OF the New York company who
were not gwen chance to go into the
Illinois company were soon startled to
find that for a guarantee OF 6per cent
they had given away 200 per cent.
For two years past no dividends have
been paid, but the complainant in the
suit instituted to-day expects to estab-
lish the fact that the stockholders of
the United Press of New York were
defrauded out OF considerable profit
during the four or five years when the
United Press OF Illinois was making
money. There are also certain valuable
telegraph contracts which the com.
pIainant maintains should be used for
the benefit OF the New York company
alone, and an effort will be made to
prevent what is claimed to be the un-
lawful and fraudulent use OF these by
the Illinois company.

Messrs. stewart and Jones Give Further
InstalImcnts of Their Speeches.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-While the re-
cess of the senate expired at 1880
o'clock this morning, it was fifteen
minutes later before any business was
transacted, as the last senator necessary
to make quorum did not appear until
l0:45 a. m. After some routine busi-
ness Mr.. Stewart rep, Nevada) re-
sumed his speech against the repeal
bill. He said that he had found that
where the slavery agitation was most
violent the human intellect was most
active, and that in Kansas and Missouri
there was much higher average OF in
telligence and broader grasp OF public
questions than in any other part OF the
country. With this preface Mr.. Stew
art read a letter from gentleman in
Missouri sustaining his side OF the sill
yer question.
Mr.. Stewart then directed himself to
what he called the charges that those
who opposed the pending bill were
thwarting the will OF the majority. This
he denied. Who were the filibusterers ?
he asked. The administrations had fill
bustered for twenty-five years against
legislation allowing the will Of the ma.
jorty to be expressed. They hadiused
the most corrupt, the most aggressive,
the most outrageous means; secret at
first, public now, to enslave the major
ity. "Let the administration take off
its hands and let the majority express
itself in the senate" said Mr.. Stewart,
"and we have nearly two to one"
The absence OF q quorum was suE-
gested by Mr.. Power. A roll call de-
veloped a quorum aud Mr.. Kyle Pop,
S. d. then moved that when the senate
adjourn it be to meet at II o'clock to-.
morrow. BY q vote OF 4 yeas and Al
nays the motion was lost.
MIR. Jones, OF Nevada, resumed his
speech where he left off yesterday.
Discussing the relative merits OF ma
tional and international money, Mr..
Joues asserted that with the latter there
would be Constant oscillation between
adversity and prosperity. Accordingly
as money was sent abroad or was re-
ceived from abroad, there would be con-
traction or initiation.
Mr.. Jones at 4 o'clock said there was
no desire among those on his side OF the
question to consume time unnecessari-
ly, but as he was tired he would yield
the floor aud allow his colleague, Mr..
Stewart, to resume his speech, and he
would ask the indulgence OF the senate
and proceed ut some other time.
MIR. Faulkner, Dem, being satisfied
that the remarks OF Mr.. Jones correctly
stated tho position Of tho opponents OF
the bill, moved that the senate take a
recess until IL o'clock tomorrow morn
ing The motion was agreed to.

GREArGsr COAL COMBINE

Ever Organized IN This Country Behind
the Vanderbilt Deal.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2+-Itis generally
believed in this city that the securing
by the Vanderbilts OF the control OF the
stock of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western is the first step in the forma-
ton Of the greatest coal combine ever
inaugurated in this country, and before
it is finished will be found to include all
the coal carrying companies that have
terminals in Jersey City. The Lehigh
Valley company is said to be q party to
the deal, Notwithstanding the denial of
the officers oil the company.
While the Reading people deny all
knowledge OF any deal being made be-
tween them and the new coal barons, it
is generally believed the receivers are
perfectly willing to enter into any agree
ment which will benefit the Reading
company.

WAsHINeroN, Oct. 24.-Mr. McLaur-
en-, of South Carolina. was before the
committee on banking and currency
this morning. He spoke in reference
more particularly OF the clearing house
certificates issued by the banks OF CO.
lumbia, S. G., upon which q ten per
cent tax had been threatened. He read
a telegram, showinC that $4,000 had
issued, payable January /, 1894.
Discussion turned as to whether the
tax should be paid by the association
issuing the certificates, or by all who
circulated them. There was a vast dif-
ference Of opinion in the committee,
which led to hot argument among the
members. Messrs. Springer, Warner
aad Hall claimed the tax must be paid
every time the note is passed. Mr..
Brosius combatted this idea. Mr.. Nc
Laurin said it was matter OF doubt.
The sentiment of the committee is in
favor OF Immediately reporting the bill.
