j. D. RocKEFELER'S COUP.
Stops Great Impro, o,ements Because
OF InN Assessmt.nfs.


Tarrytown, y. Y, Oct. 4.-SiXty men,
ten carts and fifteen teams that have
been employed on the John D. Rockefeller
estate for the last year will stop work in
definitely on Saturday. Mr.. Rockefeller
was here on Saturday, and issued the in
structions This seemingly lends contir-
nation TO the rumor contained in a dis
patch from Cleveland that he intended to
take up his residence there.
1t is said here he will make no more i'm
provements until his two suits in the
town of Mount Pleasant are settled. If
settled agreeably to him, he will go ahead
with the work. If not, il is peneved he
will move to Cleveland.
Mr.. Rockefeller owns about six hundred
acres OF the choicest land in Mount
Pleasant township. When he bought the
property he paid eXtravagant prices, as
he wanted to own a fine country seat
near his brother William. His original
ideas We're 10 lay out fine parks and
driveways, TO which the public would
have fun access. He also intended TO
build one OF the finest mansions In Ameri-
ca on Kykuit. 1t is an ideal spot, e!e-
waited and commanding a beautiful view
of the Hudson.
In pursuance of his purpose he began i'm
proving the property. In 1925 some incen-
diaries burned down several OF his barns.
He rebuilt them on a more extensive
scale.
The assessors in 1895 began TO increase
the assessments on the property Of the
two Rockefellers.
The assessment on William Rockefeller :
property, which in 1888 had been fixed al
S6S, eco was placed at SSeo000 in 1896, and at
81 500. 600 in 1897. The assessment on John
D. Rockefeller's property was increased
from $3.50 GOO in 1896 TO s6i6, 900 in 1897
Writs of certiorari were Immediately APP
piled for in the courts and the Messrs
Rockefeller began the suits that have al
ready cost the town about 10000 The
litigation was exceedingly disagreeable Il
the RockefelIers. William offered his
| country seat up for sale for s350,0to. Nc
one accepted the offer. He fought the
/ case to a finish. and about two month:
/ ago Judge Barnard, at Poughkeepsie, con
/ firmed the referees decision reducing th'
! assessment TO S343. T75.
The town has appealed the case ano
seeing that it was TO be fight to th'
bitter end, he opened the 1896 case TO ge
/ judgment against the town for the over
/ collection Of taxes.
In John d. Rockefeller's suit no decis
ion has been reached. His magnificen
estate has been laid out in fine road
and marks. The expense has been enor
nous.
The SUSPENSION of the work will be Sc
verely felt here, where all the men EN-

CAPTAIN PHILIP PROTESTS.
Complains He Has Not Received the
Advancement Awarded Him.

AQtanCemen1 Awarded
Protests against the system of advance
ment of officers for gallant conduct in
battle have been received from several Of
fcers of the service affected by the promo
tion of those who took part in the battles
of Manila and Santiago
Commodore j. w. Philip now in COM
mand of the second division of the North
Atlantic squadron, in communication to
Secretary Long, declares that he has not
been advanced five numbers, as directed
by the President, he having been placed
on the naval register following Commo-
dore j. c. Watson, instead of having been
placed next after Commodore G. c. Re-
mey. The matter Is of great importance
to Commodore Philip, In view of the fact
that If his claim is allowed he will be
promoted to the grade of rear admiral in
December, 1899, instead of 1901, as will be
the case provided his claim is not recog-
niZed by the department.
In placing Commodore Philip below
Commodore Watson the department took
the view that the five officers over whom
he was advanced were Commodores Robe
son, Schley. Casey and Sampson and
Capt. Picking.
1t is Comodore Philips contention that
Comodores Sampson and Schley were ad-
vanced to the grade of rear admiral be-
fore such action was taken in his case,
and that in any event he was entitled
to the two numbers which their promo
tiOns created in the grade of commodore.
and should have been Jumped" over
Comodores Farquhar, Watson, Robson,
Casey and Cromwell.
| Capt Picking holds that he is entitled
| to promotion by reason of seniority as a
| result of the advancement of Commo-
| dore Sampson, but the department holds
| that the vacancies in the grade of COM
modore were filed by the advancement
| of Commodores Philip and Higginson.

Paxton Hotel. His wife is with him, and
they are in animated correspondence by
wire and long-distance telephone with
Prosecuting Attorney Graham at Philadel-
phia and with Senator Quay and others.
a number of cipher messages have been
exchanged. Mr.. Haywood explains these
transactions by saying he is trying TO ar
range to have a bond given at Philadel-
phia for him so that he will not be sub
Jected to the humiliating presence of an
officer while he returns to Pennsylvania.
Thus far il has not been arranged. The
Pinkertons at Philadelphia have wired
Martin White, chief of police at Omaha,
TO keep man constantly in his pres
ence Haywood is indignant at this turn
of affairs He says il is politics, moth
ing more. He explains Graham's refusal
TO have a bond signed there for him on
the basis of political bias. Graham wires
that bond in Pennsylvania is not legal
unless first signed by the principal.
Now Haywood is trying TO secure per-
mission to remain here a week. Consent
has been given from Philadelphia, pro-
vided an officer constantly remains near
Haywood, but this does not suit Hay
wood or his wife.

The evening times., 1898-10-04

The entire market followed the lead of
Tobacco today for the first hours, as it
has done almost wholly for the last week
or more. There is very little satisfac-
tion in trading in anything in the mar
ket when it is realized that the manipu-
lationS of one set of people control the
fluctuations of the list. Fine earnings or
poor good news or bad, have very little
10 do with the movements of even such
stocks as the grangerS when profession
alism has such i strong hold on the mar
ket. Tobacco again had great advance
this morning 1t started at 10. about the
close yesterday, and went up steadily
with hardly a tremor to 129. There was
sCme hesitancy after that and the price
OF the stock sagged but the gain was well
held during the entire forenoon. There is
nothing of news TO give out about the
company or its business. 1t is evident
that having gone far enough in one di-
rection the manipulators are intending
now to push up the price. 1t would seem
probable that the advance would be
greater than at present before it is over,
but there is no particular reason for this
belief except in the tactics of the recent
manipulations of the clique.
Following the lead of Tobacco, the re-
mainder of the market was strong this
morning, with a tendency to sag toward
noon. Prices generally were higher at IL
o'clock than they were at the opening.
The st. Paul earnings We're again mag
nificent for the fourth week of September.
The increase for the week was SlS2, COO.
This record is again the best in the his
tory of the company. This succession of
best records cannot but have its great
effect on the prosperity of the stock, when
at some time in the future there is re-
turn to natural conditions in the stock
market Friends of the company and OF
the granger roads as well, for the other
companies show very like conditions, are
waiting for this time to come, and are
not selling stock either, when there are
| Temporary recessions with the fluctua-
| tions of Tobacco. There is every prospect

will continue indefinitely. There is con-

are purchasing st. Paul.
Sugar was fairly strong today at th'
opening, but apparently only in sympathy
| with Tobacco. There is talk everywhere
| that the company is not earning its divi
| dends at the present price of Sugar, an(
| that any further reduction in the price
