NOT IN GOULD CONTROL.
Railway Omcial Denies RumOF About
Norfolk and Western.

Norfolk ana western
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August pa
high official of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company emphatically stated today that
there is absolutely no foundation In fact
for the report that Gould interests have
secured control of the Norfolk and Western.
The official added that nobdy need worry
about Pennsylvania position in regard to
the Norfolk and Western-that Pennsyl-
vania has had control for some time of the
Norfolk and Western and still holds that
control.
The Philadelphia North American of to-
day says:
Control of the Norfolk and Western rail-
way has passed out OF the hands OF the
Pennsylvania railroad and is firmly in the
grasp of Gould interests This was an
probably occasion greater surprise in flnan-
cial and railroad circles than any similar
announcement made this year.
The Gould interests, it Is asserted. now
hold an actual majority of the capital
stock of the Norfolk and Western 1t Is
believed that the Pennsylvania interest Is
about s10.OOOOOO out of the $23,ooooo0 pre-
ferred stock and $13,5OO,OOO out Oh the
$66. 900, 600 common stock.
The Gould party began, 1t Is SAID, py
purchasing the foreign. holdings OF norfolk
and Western stock, following this by quiet
ly picking up the floating shares In the
Control Of the Norfolk and Western Will
be used by George j. Gould to further the
interests of his railroad system. II the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad will withdraw oppo-
sition to the Wabash in Pittsburg ana
agree not to thwart Gould in his EFFORTS 10
get an Atlantic seaboard outlet. the re-
Gently acquired interest in the Norfolk ana
Western will be surrendered at price
which is fair. This is the latest OF series
of strategic moves by the Gould group to
the end of forcing an eastern outlet.
1t is believed that President Cassatt or
the Pennsylvania railroad will decline to
make any compromise with the Gould party
which would be Instantaneous to the
Pennsylvania He will sail from Europe on
August 80, and is expected to take the i'm
mediate direction Of things on September
o. 1t is expected that the Pennsylvania
will make no arrangement to handle Gould
freight from Pittsburg to the seaboard UNI
less Mr. Gould will agree to abandon. alb
solutely, the project for new railroad
across Pennsylvania to Philadelphia. In
the meantime arrangements are being per-
fected for a number of feeders. which will
draw together at Pittsburg over the wa
bash heavy freight traffic. The Big Four
has agreed to let Wabash trains use its
rails between Wellington. Ohio. and Cle9e-

PARIS, August %, $50 pm.-While the
officials of the French foreign Office decline
% confirm or deny the dispatch of the AS
ISOLATED Press from Constantinople an
aouncing that the French ambassador has
sent the sultan a letter which is in the ma
lure of an ultimatum, they admit having
received a telegram from M. ConstanS
which has been laid before the council now
sitting at the Elysee palace. Only three
ministers were not present. The premier,
VI. Waldeck-RouSSeau; the minister of ag-
riculture, M. Dupuy, and the minister of
public works, Nj. Baudin, are absent from
Paris.
The correspondent learns that NJ Con-
STAINS has been given a free hand Any step
he finds proper to take will be fully in
dorsed. The foreign minister, Nj. Delcasse,
if he deems it necessary, will withdraw the
French embassy from Constantinople, and
Munir Bey, the Turkish amba sSador who
Is now in Switzerland will be notified not
TO return to Paris, in which case Munr
Bey will probably withdraw the legation
to Berne, as he is also accredited as min
lister to Switzerland.
No Naval Demonstration.
No naval demonstration Is yet contemplate
ed but the sultan will probably be serious
iy Inconvenience by the closure of the
Turkish embassy here, which is the center
t the espionage maintained to watch the
numerous young Turks and other disaffect-
ed Ottoman subjects and voluntary exiles
who make their headquarters in Paris and
who Will have q free hand If diplomatic
relations between France and Turkey are
completely broken off.
1t has been suggested that the French
government issue orders for the bourse to
cease dealing in Turkish securities, but 1t
rs it would only injure the French bond
holders. The entire Turkish group fell on
the bourse today, in some cases going down
to II francs
According to a special dispatch received
here from Berne. Munir Bey has already
leased a villa there for the use of the
Turkish embassy.

GENERAL BJLKELEY'S GIFT.

Sent Check for Two Thousand Dol
 lars to First Artillery Memorial Com
 mittee in Memory of His Brother
 A meeting of the finance committee of the association having in charge the raising of funds to erect on the Capi- tol grounds a monument as a memorial to the First Connecticut Heavy Artil- lery, was held Saturday afternoon at | the office of the mayor, with Major James W. Cheney presiding. The com mittee listened to a report of the secre | tary and treasurer, Lieutenant Henry E. Taintor, which showed that the sum 7 necessary to assure the success of the | project had been contributed. The to- tai amount of individual contributions was $2,377, as follows: $1,400 in sums of one sundred dollars and more, $400 in sums of fifty dollars, $425 in sums of twenty-five dollars, $50 In Sums of ten dollars, $40 in sums of five dollars, and one of two dollars.
 In addition to this the state approprl- ated one thousand dollars and the Hartford City Guard contributed sev- en hundred and twenty-three dollars making the total amount on hand when
 
 Secretary Taintor read letter from General William H. Bulkeley to Cap tain Edmund Kelley of the committee, in which was enclosed check for two thousand dollars as General Bulkeley's contribution to the memorial fund. His contribution is in the memory of Gene ral Bulkeley's brother, Charles E. Bulkeley, who lost his life while serving in the First Connecticut Heavy Artil- lery
 This contribution is to be known as that Of General Bulkeley and his fam fly. Previously former Governor Nor gan G. Bulkeley had contributed five hundred dollars in memory of his brother, that contribution to be known as the donation of himself and family. The contribution of General Bulkeley made the entire sum $6,090 Mayor Harbison at once said: Put me down for ten dollars more" This brought the amount up to an even s6,100, and will enable the committee to erect & much finer monument than was at first intended.
 The committee will meet again soon, probably on Saturday afternoon at | three o'clock, at the same place, at which time the committee from the | Hartford City Guard and the Regimen tai association will be present.
 Captain Charles E. Bulkeley was a son of the late Judge E. A. Bulkeley of | Hartford, and a brother of former Gov ernor Morgan c. Bulkeley, and former Governor William H. He was captain in the First Connecticut Heavy Artillery and | died at Battery Garesche, Va, near l Washington, in 1864. Captain Bulkeley | graduated from the Hartford High l eschool in the class of 1852, afterward Yale and graduating with de- gree of master of arts. Among the fif- teen graduates with Captain Bulkeley at the High school were Colonel Frank Beach of the Sixtieth Connecticut Vol the Rev. Edwin c. Bolles D. D., of Tufts college Mass, and Charles F. Fellows of Hartford. Four of the graduates entered Yale, two Trinity, and one the United States Military academy at Vest Point.-Hartford Times.
