MAKES HILL SWEAT
Silent Smith the Man With
the Fifty Millions.
IN A VERY EASY SEAT
Waiting for Jim Hill to Show
His Hand.i

New York, Jan. s1-"James Henry
Smith sends his compliments to James ].
1Hn. but he is not disposed to sell his
large holdings of st. Paul STOCK, earning
Il plr cent. at any such figure as Mr..
Hill. suggests in his very polite o-fer."
If business in Wall streets were cen
ducte,I so politely. Mr.. Hill might have
received this note yesterday. Still the
effect was the same. Mr. Smith stands
in the way Of Mr.. HIS pet scheme to
absorb the St Paul railroad.
Mr.. NTH inherited from his uncle
George Smith, big block Of St. Faul
stock. probably the largest individual
holding. The elder Smith was an or
e,anjzer OF the railroad, and practically
developed it to its present magnitude.
Besides any sentiment he may hold on
account of this, Silent Smith, the Man
win the Fifty Millions" knows the value
Of his holdin gs.
James J.. Hill vii depart for his home
in St Paul tonight. It is not believed
that he has won over "Silent Smith.
Two meetings were held yesterday in
wall street. and at both Peter Geddes,
financial agent for Smith. as he also was
for Mr. Smiths uncle, argued with j.
Pi.rpont Morgan William Rockefeller
and Roswell Miller.
Mr.. Miller said after the second meet
ing:
I'VE did not do anything except to ar
range to buy a few locomotives and also
a short line which St Paul needs"
Mr. SIN it'll did not attend the meeting.
James J. Hill did not reckon with
Ja.mesH. Smith when he outlined the
Great Nor thern-Northern Pacihc-St- Paul
deal which sent those stocks leaping. st.
Paul while earning Il per cent pays only
per cent dividend on the common stock
and per cent on the preferred.
Mr. Hilrs plan was to exchange the
preferred stock on a basis of 200 the
com mon on a basis of 175. Mr.. Smith did
not see where either class Of stockholders
vvovd benefit by Mr.. Hills proposition.
The common stock, after it pays a divi-
demo of per cent, divides the surplus
with the preferred stock, so that Il the
road distributes the entire earnings next
year it win be in a position to pay 9 per
cent O neach class Of stock.
Mr. Smith was probably reading in his
splendid library in the Wilbraham No. 1
West Thirtieth street. while his lawyer
was spa1Ting with Messrs. Hill and Nor
gan. He will give a coming -out party on
ST. Valentines night and society. which
has woven romance about him, is

ANTI-FUSION LAW
Senator Leidy IL Making strenuous
Object sOus 10 IT.

Topeka, Jan. 31.-Senator Pestana's an
ti-fusion election law was the cause Of a
warm and exciting debate in the senate
The bill came up in the committee OF the
whole and a hard fight was made upon it
by the Populists. Senator Lei6y of But
Ter, one of the Republican members, OBJ
jected strenously to the bin, claiming it
was complex and more Of an educational
than practical measure.
The bill provides that a mark IN a cir
Gle at the head Of a column viii vote a
straight ticket, and It also provides that
the same name cannot appear on the
ticket more than once. This is the sec
ton which Is aimed at fusion and IS all
right as far as the Legality and convent

vides for four tickets and four ballot
boxes. and also states that any mark on
the ticket other than the Y mark viii IN

question which IS in the minds Of
many. and a subject of no little Discus
sion is. as to what sort Of q king Queen
v;ctoria's eldest son viii prove to be.
While some are Of the opinion that he
viii take an active part in the direction
of the affairs OF the nation, there are
others who insist that he will show him
self a "roi faineant7" and win leave every
thing to his ministers. And, It is added,
he viii be the more inclined to adopt this
latter role owing to the fact that he has
no taste or experience with regard to the
affairs of state, and that he is, moreover,
reduced by the terms and spirit OF tho
constitution to play the part Of a mere
figurehead, it being eplained that the in
fuence and power exercised hy Queen
Victoria was due to her commanding and
universally revered personality and her
unrivaled experience and knowledge OF
ststecraft.
Now there can be no greater mistake
made than to ascribe any such inactive
part as this to Albert Edward. In the
first place he has far greater knowledge
of foreign and domestic politics than the
general public for one moment imagines.
Ever since his return from India, moro
than a quarter of a century ago, the for
eign Office has by direction of Queen Vic
toria made a practice Of forwarding to
him at the same time as to herself a copy
of each important dispatch received from
abroad and likewise of the rplies sent
thereto. thanks to which he was enabled
on at least three memorable occasions to
bring about understandings with foreign
powers that the most brilliant Of foreign
diplomats had sisRally failed to accom-
plish. And while. with a tact and re-
gard for the spirit Of the constitution IN
paralleled on the part of any other prince
of Wales in English history. he has re-
Trained from giving the slightest indica-
ton Of his preferences for one or another
eff the great political parties in Great
Britain. the interest with which he has
followed the debates upon all important
issues in parliament precludes all idea
that he looks upon national affairs with
indifference.
That he IS debarred from the terms Of
the constitution from taking, as sover-
eign- any active part in the government
Of the empire or is reduced to a mere
hgurehesd. is likewise an altogether mis-
taken assumption For the conduct Of

One of the ablest experts draws atten-

has exhibited by nearly going panic

affair as the copper matter" He points
out that this serious state which exist
