ADMIRAL SAMPSON HERE.
Living Almost in SecIusion in His
Newly Purchased Home.

Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, for
mer commandant of the Boston Navy
Yard is now in this city, living in the
house which his wife not long ago pur-
chased from Lieutenant Commander Fol-
ger, United States Navy, at 1913 New
Hampshire Avenue northwest. Admiral
SIMPSONS presence here was not known
positively until Thursday, although he
arrived on Tuesday.
Since his arrival he has remained close
ly within doors during the day, leav-
ing the house, almost invariably. in the
evening for brief walk, fer which he Sc
lects the most secluded thoroughfares. He
declines to receive callers other than his
most intimate friends.
Since the announcement of the purchase
Of the property on New Hampshire Ave
nue. the arrival Of Admiral Sampson has
been anticipated daily On the day fol-
lowing the recording of the deed to the
property Mrs. Sampson despatched to the
house an enlisted seaman, Admiral Samp-
sons orderly, who was charged with the
duty OF receiving the personal effects
which had been shipped from Boston.
The orderly wss also required to superin-
tend the preparation of the residence for
occupancy.
The orderly, however. would not divulge
the date set for the arrival of Admiral
and Mrs. Sampson, and denied that he
knew when they could be expected. and in
fact, stated that Mrs. Sampson had said
that she herself was unable to say when
they would move to the National Capital.
Since the arrival of the furniture some
days ago the house has been thoroughly
cleaned, and was ready for occupancy
even before the arrival OF Admiral Samp-
son.
Admiral Sampson is no stranger in the
vicinity where he now lives. When Chief
OF the Ordnance Bureau Of the Navy De-
par1mcut the admiral occupied the same
premises. renting them from Lieutenant
Commander Foiger fOr more than eight
years. The house, located on the north
east corner Of New Hampshire Avenue
and Corccran Streets northwest. is di-
rectly opposite the magnificent home Of
Representative Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania
The Sampson home is considered to be
one Of the pretticst residences in that
neighborhood. Il is not a very large
structure, being only about three stories
h:sh, but of very unique architecture.
The entire front Of the house on New
Hampshire Avenue. covered with ivy has
a picturesque aDpearance

A COTTON STRIKE CERTAIN.

Vote to Go Ont,

FALL RIVER, Mass. oct. a strike
Of cotton operatives is inevitable. That
was settled last night, when conference
with the manufacturers here had failed.
There was a great outpouring OF oper-
ativos, and five general meetings and two
district meetings were productive of great
enthusiasm. Whatever feeling of weak
ness was felt yesterday morning disap-
peared last night, and there was but one
sentiment, that in favor Of striking.
The labor leaders used some of the
statements made by NJ. G. y. Borden re-
garding the condition of trade as the basis
of their claim for an advance Neither
side would agree to any concessions, and
when the secretaries were ready TO With
draw they We're informed that no advance
would be given.

expected that more than tWo-thirds will
comply with the first call. and that the

RAILROAD AGREEMENT.
The Dream of j. Pierpont Morgan for .
Community of Railroad Interests Es-
tablished I'm Chicago Lines.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Tribune
says: That the Hartman combine
has secured control of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul and that a
composite agreement has been made
to protect community of interests
among roads with tracks enough to
twice belt the globe is generally ac-
cepted in railroad circles. 1t was as
serted last night that I'll the roads
west, northwest and southwest from
Chicago to the Pacific coast will be
controlled in future by the following
interests: Lines west of Chicago to
the Pacific coast by Hartman, Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. and the Rockefellers;
lines northwest from Chicago by Hill
and Morgan; lines southwest from
ST. Louis by Gould and the Rockefel-
lers; lines southwest from Chicago
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
to which probably will be added be-
fore long the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific. j. Pierpont Morgan and
E. Fl. Hartman, however, will be the
real directors and direct the policy
to be pursued by these companies,
thus establishing the community in
terests," which has been the dream
of Mr.. Morgan.

STORM IN MINNESOTA.
Wind and Rain Do Great Damage at St
Paul and MISUNDERSTANDING Strikes
Several Residences.

ST. Paul, Mimi. June ia terrific
wind and rainstorm swept across this
city and vicinity yesterday afternoon.
Store fronts were blown in, streets
were flooded, many sidewalks being
carried away and for some time busi-
ness was generally suspended. Sew
eral electric feed wires burned out,
blocking street car service. Light
ming set fire to the residence of Chris
Johnson, in McBeal street, destroy
ing it. Several other dwellings were
struck. The storm played havoc at
Camp Northcott, stopping all drill
ing by the Wood1oen teams. Tents
were flooded and nlanv blown down.
One tent in which were 20 women
went down with crash, and the
much soaked party We're rescued by
contingent of Kansas and Missouri
men, but fortunately none was Sc
verely injured. Everything about the
camp was thoroughly soaked. In Min
neapolis the storm broke little
earlier in the afternoon and did much
damage, the First Congregational
church being damaged $1,000 by light
ming.

SHOW GREAT INCREASES.
Live Stock Receipts at Five Principal Mar
kets for Four Months Are 359,417
Greater Than 1900.

Washington. June 17-Leading
movements in the domestic commerce
of the United States are now being
made the subject of monthly reports
by the treasury bureau of statistics.
In western territory, live stock and
cereals are leading factors of domestic
trade movements. The live stock re-
ceipts at the five principal markets
of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, ST.
Louis and ST. Joseph during 1901 show
remarkable gains over last year, both
as regards April and the four months
ending with April, the official receipts
of cattle, hogs and sheep in the four
months just ended showing an in
crease of 359,417 head, as compared
with the corresponding months OF
1900. The rise in the price of corn
is pointed out as being largely re-
sponsible for this increased movement
of live stock to market, it having be-
come more profitable to sell corn
at 25 per cent. above last years price
than to keep the stock on such high
priced feed.

Kansas City, No., June 15.-The
Star says: The Commercial club and
the transportation bureau of this
city have declined to bring suit to
prevent the consolidation of the
Frisco and Memphis railroads in this
state. It is almost certain, however,
that the proposed consolidation will
be opposed in the courts on the
ground that they are parallel and
competing railroads. The law is said
to be explicit in the case and it is
probable that the Frisco and Mem
phis companies could be compelled to
maintain separate corporate existence
in Missouri. Officials of the Frisco
railroad say that Col. William H.
Phelps and the Missouri Pacific rail-
road are behind the fight to prevent
the consolidation of the Frisco and
Memphis railroads The Missouri Pa
cific is competitor of the Frisco,
and additional business would accrue
to it if public sentiment were aroused
against the Frisco road.
