CLASH OF INTERESTS
Has Developed Between Huntington
and Speyer.

ana Speyer.
New York. April 6.-The Herald prints
the following:
There are rumors of a breach between
the Huntington and Speyer interests in
Southern Pacific. Stock market plans
of the SDeyer contingent have not work
ed smoothly because, it is asserted, OBJ
stacles have been placed in their path
by President Coils p. Huntington and
some of his friends. Mr.. Huntington
is in the west and it is said that James
Speyer has not been able to reach him.
Incidentally, Mr. Speyer's conferences
with representatives of Mr.. Huntington
have been far from satisfactory
It appears that fortnight and more
ago the Speyer contingent started in to
advance Southern Pacific's price, ha-v-
ing arranged a strong pool for that pur-
pose. But when it got the stock around
AZ, the pool found that it was getting
entirely too much stock.
Investigation showed that certain in
side interests were marketing big blocks
of stock, which they had acquired prior
closed for the annual meeting, which
was held yesterday. Mr.. Speyer tried
to convince these interests that, by
holding off while his pool worked, they
would be able to get much better prices
for their stock and thinking that he
had succeeded in this he began again
to push the stock up But selling OF the
same persistent sort came into evidence
WD6u OOulDclA 6OL diO1AA 1~
and since then there has been steady
liquidation that has taxed the POOLS re-
sources. Yesterday the stock sold be-
low 40.
It is now disclosed that when South
ern Pacific was selling at a Mr.. Hunt
ington gave to some of his friends in the
management options on large lots of the
stock as low as 20. One of these blocks
contained 10000 shares. 1t was partly
this stock which the Speyer pool was
obliged to buy.
At the annual meeting of the South
ern Pacific, held in San Francisco, some
of the charges made were entirely IN
expected, and it is noted that no direct
representative of the Speyer interest has
a place on the board. Vice Presidents
/ J. c. Stubs and J. Kruttschnitt, who
1 nave been directors for several years,
/ are out, and William z. Dodge. who
/ has been a director for only a few
months. is also dropped In the places
/ of these appear Messrs. HaWley, the as
j sistant tariff manager. Probst and Hag-

board, succeeding z. II. Pardee-

STANDS BY OUR HOG.
Secretary Hay Has Protested Vigor
ously Against Turkeys Action.

Washington. April 6.-Secretary Hay
has addressed a vigorous protest to the
Turkish government against the pro-
posed application of an edict excluding
American pork from Turkey. The note
enters an emphatic denial of the pre-
tense of the EMBELLISHMENTS set up
against our pork, as a basis for the ex-
clusion and pOintedly makes it neces-
support its contention by adequate evil
dence before it can enforce the edict
without serious results. The officials
here are confident, as the result of the
complete failure of the Germon health
officers to make good such assertions
respecting our meats, that the Turkish
government can make no better show

Vessel Owners Pleased With His
Firm Stand in ore-Carrying Rate
War.
Cleveland. Ohio, July /. The re-
markable fight OF the Bessemer steam
ship company, better known as the
Rockefeller feet, against the big iron
and steel manufacturing concerns Of
the country to maintain ore carrying
rates on the Great Lakes, has resulted
in the putting out Of commission Of
forty-five large steamships. 1t is evi-
dent that the lake freight situation
would be badly demoralized at this
time, were it not for the bold stand
taken by Rockefeller. His representa-
Atiyes have issued an ultimatum to the
effect that the Bessemer's vessels will
carry no ore down the lakes at less
than SIPS per ton. The rate offered
by the big iron and steel manufactur-
ing concerns is 81 per ton. So
pleased are the vessel owners general
ly with the stand taken by Rockefeller
that a movement has been inaugurated
to elect him president Of the Lake
Carriers association next year.

Congress Acting to Suppress Their
Sale.
The report of the Senate Committee
on Manufactures upon the subject Of
food authorizations and food frauds has
created a sensation in Congress and
awakened great interest throughout
the country.
If there could be published q list OF
the names of all articles Of food found
by the Committee to be adulterated or
made from poisonous ingredients, 1t
would be Of inestimable value to the
public.
The Recommendation Of the Com
mittee that the sale Of alum baking
powders be prohibited by law, will
make Of special interest the following
list of names of baking powders con-
tanning alum sold in this vicinity:

1t is unfortunate that many manu-

Seattle, Wash. June 30. Tho gold
