 The other story was told the writer
 less than six months after by Senator | White himself The meeting was on | First avenue, in doorway of the Ma deau hotel The conversation was about | the fight for the harbor. White said: ] There were incidents in that fight nev-
 CT known to the public. Here is one
 never told before and probably will not again. My quarters were at the Nor mandie. So were those of MT. Hunting ton. We had several meetings in his
 rooms. One evening he sent for me. I
 went, and he made long arguments with
 me against San Pedro and for Santa Monica. I argued my side of the case as well as I could and Huntington was a close, logical reasoner. l guess he
 thought more than held my own. Mrs
 Huntington was present at least part of
 the time At length he said, Do you
 ever drink anything? I replied, Some
 times We went into another room and
 sat down. We took a drink or two, and
 then he asked if there was no way for
 us to get together on the harbor busi-
 ness. I said I did not see any way to do so; that I did not think he would give up, and I knew would not. Said he, I do not see why. It might be to your advantage not to be so set in your opin- ion.' I then said to him: MT. Hunting ton if the harbor were my personal possession, and you wanted it, there would be an easy way for us to get to- gether and one or both of us make some money. But as that harbor belongs to the people, and I am merely holding it in trust for them, and have no right to give it way, to sell it, or let 1t be taken from the people, I do not see how we can come to any understanding Ger tainly,' said Mr. Huntington, that is very high moral ground to take, but a little quixotic. The people will think no more of you in the end. Many will think less of you. Said I, MT. Hunt ington, I am not taking your view of that matter, either. It is my own self respect I am looking at now So the matter closed.'
 / After it was all over and White had beaten Huntington tNe millionaire came to the senator and in the course of con- versation he said: White, like and respect you. You are almost always against us, but 1t is not for what you can make out of us to come over. You have steadfast principle, and you fight like man in the open and with clean weapons I cannot say that of all the public men I have had to deal with. '- Los Angeles Times.

STORIES OF SENATOR WHITE,
Two Anecdotes Which Illustrate tf i Californians Integrity.

Two Anecdotes Which Illustrate the Californians Integrity.
 The people of Los Angeles did great honor to the memory of Stephen M. White. Two little stories tell why he was held in such high honor
 It was in the early days of 1893. The Legislature was in session. White was the democratic candidate for United States senator. The part had put him forward with one accord. He had head quarters at the Palace hotel, and there the writer went one night to pay his respects to him. He was told that Mr. White was engaged in important busi- ness which might last until very late. A member of the senate friend of both White and the visitor, came in and in the course of the conversation this senator said:
 ''I do not think you can see MT. White this evening. He is very busy l will tell you in confidence what it Is. AL most every democratic member of both branches of the legislature from San Francisco is In there. I never saw such

SHORTS CAN SETTLE AT 15O

thirds of Northern Pacific stock. The old law of the Northern Pacific pre- scribed that two-thirds of the stock should assent to such a transaction as the present deal. This provision, still printed in the manual accepted as au- thentic, has misled the opponents of the Morgan-Hill plans, because in the reorganization the two-thirds provis- ion was abolished and the power was vested solely in the board of directors.
 "The board had stipulated that when two-thrds of the Burlington stock had been deposited in a designated trust company the Northern Pacific -Burling- ton deal should thus automatically be closed. The stock has been deposited and the transaction so consummated.
 Meanwhile the Kuhn, Loeb inter- ests, believing two-thirds stock con- sent in Northern Pacific necessary to consummation have striven to absorb enough Northern Pacific to prevent two-thirds consent with results seen in Wall street this week. This afternoon they discovered that two thirds con- sent of Northern Pacific stock was not necessary to the Morgan-Hill deal,
  nation on that point
 Moreover they learned late to-day that while the Northern Pacific scrip they held and their paper contracts made the aggregate they had sought, the paper contracts were In part emp ty, for the shorts could not get the stock they had agreed to deliver. Con- viction was compelled that Morgan Hill had the real goods-the scrip, and therefore, that the accumulation of Northern Pacific in the hands of Kuhn, Loeb was strategically valueless.
 Hence, according to a statement to me by one of the Kuhn, Loeb group this evening the Northern Pacific Bur lington deal is sure and safe. This being true, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., have no tactical use for their load of Northern Pacific and will therefore let it out to- morrow to shorts at 150 and discharge makers of paper contracts to deliver stock they couldn't get on the same basis.
 This act makes logical the stated design of Morgan & Go. to deliver no Northern Pacific stock to shorts, though the shorts may purge them selves Of their snort oD1gatlonS at loV. This release by Morgan Hill and the letting out of actual stock no longer useful to them, by the opposing inter ests is expected to relieve the tension and smooth out the complications in Wall street tomorrow.
 Tn the light of these facts and con- ditions it became apparent why Nor interests declined the propo sition of their opponents to loan stock to shorts pro rata"

THE ELEVENTH WARD.

The republicans in the Eleventh and Twelfth wards turned out in strong numbers last evening, despite the pour ing rain. The Eleventh ward convened in Polar Star hall and the Twelfth ward people came over and held their pri- mary in the basement of the hall. In the Eleventh there were two candidates for chairman, w. B. Penfield, represent ing the old committee, and William A. Morgan for the opposition. Alderman Wallace s. Moyle, who was in charge of the opposition faction, called for the use of the check list and there being no opposition it was agreed to. Then en- sued a long, -drawn-out contest over talk ing the ballot. It was one of the big gest republican primaries ever held in the ward, made so owing to the two tickets in the field.

AMENT REPLIES TO CRITICS
:. DISCUSSES THE ALLEGED LOOPING AT PEKIN
Explains the Much Mootcd "One-third More Indemnity" and Tells the Story of the Siege of the Legations.

l Despite the bad weather a fair sig | ed audience gathered at Dwight Place | church last evening to hear Rev. Dr. William s. Ament tell of his recent ex | perlences during the siege of Pekin especial interest being shown because pr. Ament is supported in part in his
 missionary work in China by contribu- tlons from Dwight Place church, and the clergyman has lately been the ob- Ject of attacks in newspapers and magazines, in which the conduct of himself and others during and imme dately following the raising of the siege of the legations at Pekin, has been severely censured. This is partic- ularly true Of two articles by Samuel l.. Clemens (Mark Twain) published lately in the North American Review.
 But Dr. Ament did not specifically
 consider the Twain charges in his ad-
 dress last evening. Rather, he confin-
 ed himself to general review of the
 Boxer uprising, it's cause, pro-
 gress and results, and he gave a lively
 and interesting running story of the
 events in the legations from day to
 day during the siege and thereafter
 On the other hand Rev. Dr. Leete
 pastor Of the church. did not hesitate
 to refer to Mark Twain as a misn-
 formed humorist, who had accepted in-
 definite rumor for actual fact and act ed thereon without the careful investi-
 gation which the subject demanded
 He felt sure that all present had re- ceived a far clearer and more satisfac-
 tory report of the alleged misconduct than had previously been supplied by thse periodicals.
 The question of that "one-third more' indemnity which Mark Twain so vigorously threshed in his second article in the North American Review was carefully and lucidly explained by Dr. Ament. According to his state ment this "one- third more" indemnity was not "extra..'' but was in fact part of the whole. and was to be awarded those sufferers who, not having sus- tained the loss of houses burned and property footed, simply because they had possessed neither, yet had suffered approximately in that their husbands, fathers, brothers, those who had earned the living upon which they depended, had been sacrificed, and therefore this
 extra so-called, indemnity, so much in dispute of late, had been awarded All this, too, on the agreement of Li Hung Chang, and his first assistant The plan seemed most just and wise, the only remedy, in fact, at that time, and it was successful in relieving the distress We were 10000 miles away and in ignorance of the discussion go- ing on here, and we, did our best in the light we then had"
 At the close of his address Dr. Ament answered several questions from the audience. referring to the conduct of the allied forces on entering Pekn and the printed charges that women drowned themselves on the ap- proach of the soldiers. Many persons | shook hands with Dr. Ament after the meeting.

THE TINGUE BUTTONS.

A Massachusetts Visitor to the Capitol is Given Information About Them.
 The two cases of buttons on the third floor of the capitol directly opposite the state library, are source of at traction to visitors, and many an in- quiry is made as to their origin, and the capitol Mrs. Pidgin, the wife of Charles F Pidgin, the chief clerk in the office of the bureau of statistics of labor of Massachusetts, was recently In the capitol and was curious to knew the history of the buttons. She returned home without having her cu- riosity gratified. One of the officials in a. department received a letter from Boston dated May 1, from Chief Clerk Pidgn, in which he referred to the fact of his wife's visit, and to her curiosity about the buttons. He asked for infor- ma .ion about them.
 The official in his reply stated that during the button craze some eighteen years ago, MT. Tingue, 2 plush r1aru- factuler Of Seymour, Conn.,, admired a string of buttons collected by lady in his town. She gave them to him. He in turn, presented her with a gold piece and remarked that he would give a like sum for strings of buttons as good or better than that one. His re- mark was taken up by the newspapers, and the result was that strings of but tons came to him from all parts of the country He kept his agreement, how ever, which cost him something over S2, 000 Later on he presented the but tons to the state of Connecticut They were accepted and placed on exhibition at the capitol, as seen by Mrs. Pidgin."

THE NINTH WARD

The Ninth ward caucus was held in Masonic hall on Webster street and was long drawn out affair. It was not called until after S:30 and adjourned at 10:15 During the progress of the car- GUS there were several allegations made that some of the voters were stuffing the ballot Toward the end of the cau- GUS the door was locked and after the result of the election of the seventh and last member on the committee it was moved to count the votes as some one with extra sharp eyes claimed to have seen two or three slips put in the hat at once. This was communicated to the chairman w. G. Davidson, and for a time it looked as though the accusa- tion would be proved. The motion was voted down, however, as those present were weary and eager to get home.
 There were several nominations for each of the seven positions on the com mittee and the balloting for the election was a long proceeding Several times there was a tie and this didn't hurry matters at all and when finally the caucus came to close the following were elected:
 w. G. Davidson, Frederick w. Orr, Thomas Chadwick, Moses T. Rice, Jo seph c. Kelly, Lyman H. Johnson and Samuel H. Williams.
 This committee was given power to add to it's number at any time.
