CONTROL OF DE1A wARE 6 HUDSON
Another Statement That the Vander-
biIts Have Got 1t.

New York, April 3.-The World will
say tomorrow: The Vanderbilts have
secured control of the Delaware &
Hudson railroad by the purchase of a
majority Of the capital stock in the
open market, and terms are being dis
cussed on which the New York Central
will take control. 1t is understood that
the New York Central is to guarantee
per cent. to the stockholders. and it
is not improbable that the Lake Shore
deal will be exactly duplicated-that Is,
New York Central will issue 31A per
cent. 100 year collateral trust gold bonds
at the rate of 5000 in bonds FOR each
share in stock. The Delaware & Hud-
son company produces from it's own
mines over 100000 tons of anthracite
coal. The Vanderbilts and Mr.. Morgan
now practically own the coal business.

4 CHECK FOR RUSSIA.
Wnshington's Interpretation of LII
Hung Changes Leaving of Pekfn.


Washington, April 3.--Although no
official notice has reached here of the
reported departure of LII Hung Chang
from Pekin for Shanghai, the officials
are inclined to believe 1t is true, and
that he Is really leaving Pekin for
good, and because the emperor is dis
pleased with his conduct of the negotia-
tions.
1t was known here when Ii Hung
Chang was made one Of the peace en-
voys that he was pro-Russian in SEN
timent, but there was no cause for
complaint on that score until the Man
churlan agreement came up. Now it is
believed that Ii has proved so earnest
an advocate of Russia's cause and has
so strenuously worked for the signature
of the agreement that his own govern.
ment has felt obliged to deprive him
of power.
A cablegram has been received at the
State department from United States
Minister Allen at Seoul, stating briefly
that the McLeavy Brown difficulty has
been satisfactorily adjusted. Brown
Is an Engishman. charged with the
Of the Korean Gus toms de-
partment, and it was reported that he
had been removed under Russian in
fiuence.
Although Mr.. Allen does not state the
basis of statement, it Is known that
his sympathies were strongly with
remove what promised to be an ugly
Brown, so it is believed that the official
must have been reinstated. This will
issue between the United States and.I
Russia. Browns removal would have
seriously injured American interests in
Korea.

Period She is Now Going Through the

NAL notification, "to keep on friendly

However much she might be willing

FIGHT HTAGAINSTTHE" "CORN KING"
strong Effort in Chicago to Force
Phillips to the Wall.

Chicago, April 3.-A strong effort was
made on the Board of Trade to-day to
crowd George H. Phillips, the Corn
King" to the wall. He was driven
clear out Of the wheat market but gave
up none of his holdings in corn or oats.
The day was the biggest of its kind the
board has witnessed in many years. A
jam of struggling, bowling brokers and
traders filed the public galleries to the
limit\ May wheat sold down to 711a
cents ITO 715s cents. and closed at 72as
cents to 721s cents. net loss for the
day oe 2 cents. May corn tumbled to

Calls for margins were made on Phil
lips to the extent of nearly $250,000
more, and such demands being met
promptly. His firm has nearly S500,000
UP as margins, some of which will be
released tomorrow. Phillips stuck to
his policy. At the close he declared he
had not been shaken out Of his corn
and oats, and believed they would do
better tomorrow.
The wheat deal was different story.
Phillips unloaded nearly 100000 BUSH
els early. This wheat showed an aver
age loss of at least 21h cents bushel,
or nearly $500 The prompt response
by Phillips to morning calls for margins
steadied the markets, but towards noon
there were further sharp declines Af-

to keep "stiff upper lip" and was
acting on that advice himself

the Various Wards-The Convention
VIII be Held Tonight.
Great interest was manifested in the
republican caucuses held in all the
wards in the city last night and al
though the night was stormy all the
caucuses were the most largely attend
ed ones held in years. AS a result Of
the caucuses it was generally believed
last night that the Ulltnans had Sc
cured delegates enough to ensure the
denomination of General Registrar f.
S. Hamilton and to control the nomna-
tion for mayor. Of the eighty-nine
delegates to the city convention chosen
it was believed that the Ullmans had
certainly secured forty two, carrying
the caucuses in the Third Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and
Twelfth wards. 1t was also thought
that some of the delegates elected in
the Ninth ward were favorable to the
Ullmans, with a probability that the
entire delegation would swing that way
in the convention. Some of the figures
last night gave the Ullmans as man
ayers f1fty-five of the delegates elected.
Talk was heard last night to the ef-
feet that the Ullmans were supporting
the candidacy of ex-Judge John T.
Studley for the nomination for mayor.

nations of delegates for the city and

gates from the floor and John 7. Sloan
saying that persons partici-
pating in the caucus should be bound |

OPEN GOOD FRIDAY.
Large Dry Goods stores VIII be Open
To- O-mOrrOv,

The large department stores will not
observe Good Friday as has been the
custom for many years back. Having
substituted Washington's birthday in
place of the former for holiday. The
change was made principally it is
understood, because the day had prac-
tically ceased TO be a day of prayer and
fasting, and had turned itself into what
might be termed a regular holiday
Easter week is one of the busiest of
weeks in the large stores and the clos
ing on Good Friday has been consider
able source of trouble to the merchants,
and also to the public, and 1t is thought
that the substitution of the one day for
the other will be satisfactory to all.
