 "Under existing conditions a large part of this passenger business passes through Montgomery without stopping at any hotel. A first class, modern hotel will not only retain this, but in- duce a much greater patronage.
 "The management expects that after a period of two years the hotel will be finished complete and leased, thus practically insuring the shareholders a dividend even before their stock is paid up in full. The hope is indulged that every property owner, investor and wage earner will become interested as shareholders in this investment. which means so much to the future of our city.

Chicago Tribune's Statement.

Chicago, June 15.-The Tribune to- morrow will say:
 E. H. Hartman was the directing figure in two movements begun yester- day and which are expected to affect every railroad running west of Chicago and St. Paul.
 What was held to be the first step toward a composite agreement between the great roads running west of these cities was perfected at a conference held here between Mir. Hartman and officials of the companies concerned.
 By its terms. an iron-clad agreement to end rate wars and other complica- tions, is expected to be spread over all the roads in the Northern group. in- cluding the Northern Pacific. the Bur lington the Milwaukee and St. Paul, the Union Pacific, the Northwestern, and the Great Northern lines.
 To the southwest, the Santa Fe will operate hand in hand with the South ern Pacific. It will be a community of interests, plan, and provides that Pacific Mail and Occidental Steamship lines. controlled by the Southern Pa cific. shall take care of the Santa Fe's trans Pacific business. The other movements directed by MT. Hartman was the practical provision for the LTdnSiCF Ol tHC NhAL06ts ~sAAA @@H0 St. Paul to the Hartman syndicate and the turning, of this line into link of the Union Pacific system.
 This plan was arranged at secret conference held at the Auditorium An mex attended by many railway men and a number of bankers. Little doubt is entertained that the syndicate has acquired control of the Milwaukee and St. Paul on practically the same lines that J. J. Hill secured control of the Burlington. The stock of the St. Paul road will be taken over by the Union Pacific at the October meeting. 1t Is reported that the stockholders of the former line will be offered $2OO of per cent bonds for every S100 worth of stock and that the bonds will be guar anteed by the E. Union Pacific the Southern Pacific and the Missouri Pas clfc and the GouIds who are said to be parties to the transaction.
 Certain large stockholders of the St. Paul, 1t Is said. have sold or agreed to sell stock amounting to about $25, ,0O0,00O par value Peter Geddes is said to be directly concerned in this deal along with James Henry Smith and William Rockefeller, all of whom are directors.
 The deal will be financed at the Eastern end by the National City Bank of New York.

 tions is Rumored.
 New York. June 15.-The Tribune to- morrow will say:
 The report was current in Wall Street yesterday that a railway combination had been organized with an aggregate capital of $2,O00. .000, 900. The combina- tion was said to include the St. Paul. Burlington, Chicago and Northwestern, Great Northern, Northern Pacific. Wis consin Central, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. J. F. Morgan was said to be the financial packer of the combination.
 According to prominent official of one of the lines said to be involved. the story grew out of the reported St. Paul. Union Pacific deal, by which the latter is said to have bought a large block of stock in the former. Little credence is given to the report in Wall Street.

PLAN TO BUILD
 A FINE HOTEL Montgomery Business Men
 Issue Prospectus. A SOUND INVESTMENT
The Committee Gives Some
 Important Figures.
Representative Men of the Capital City Have Given Material Evi- dence of Their Faith in
 the Proposition.

The Hotel Committee, after a con- ference of all the Soliciting Commit tees last Thursday night, was request ed to have prepared and printed a financial prospectus, which would set forth in a concise manner the actual method adopted and the reasons for knowing that the proposed investment will be profitable one.
 This prospectus has been prepared and is given to the public today. It speaks for itself. It shows just what the substantial citizens of Montgom- cry believe in reference to this move ment. It shows the faith in the city had by these representative men. The subscription list below shows what other representative men think of the plan and the proposition. The com mittees have not yet been out solicit ing. They will start Monday. The va rious Chairmen will call their commit tees together Monday and all will take the field together. An opportunity will be given every citizen to have a part in this enterprise which means so much to Montgomery.
 The amounts so far subscribed have been handed in voluntarily-without solicitation-but few days solicitation should run the figures up much higher. Tn committeeman are all representa- tive men in their respective lines of trade or business and the field should be covered by them in a reasonable time. It is an opportunity afforded
 The Financial Prospectus.
 The prospectus issued by the com mittee is signed by the committee and Is as follows:
 "The Montgomery Hotel Company has been organized for the purpose of building first-class hotel in the Cap ttal City of the State. The charter authorizes the company to issue 5000 shares of stock. par value $50 each, payable $1 per month. The stock is to be non-assessable and no bonds will be issued, thus securing equal rights to all shareholders, large or small. When the 5000 shares are subscribed and six months collections on the same made, a formal organization will be effected and officers elected by the stockhold- CTS.
 "The gentlemen interested in the movement are fully satisfied that with proper management the investment will be a profitable one to all shareholders. Built upon a favorable location the rental value of the hotel and stores will be not less than $25.000 per annum. This opinion is based upon the in- come of other hotels at the present time in this and other cities similarly situated. Deducting the necessary ex- penses for taxes, insurance and repairs will certainly make it an per cent. net investment, nt,-increasing in value from year to year with the steady rise in values incident to a growing city.

CASH RETURNED TO TREASURY,

The annual report of the Commits
sioner of Pensions, soon to be publish
ed, will show that Commissioner Evans
turns back into the treasury for the
fiscal year just ended approximately
So, 900, OOO The appropriation by Con-
gress for that year was $141, 200, 600, of
which $136, 900, 600 has been disbursed.
The idea that the round sum of s., :
600, 900 was returned to the treasury,
when it might have been paid out
through them, will probably rearouse
the wrath of the pension, attorneys
against the commissioner. They know
very we'll that if the commissioner had
reported deficiency of $4,000, 900 in
stead of surplus of that amount, Con-
gress would have honored it, hence
they will hurl anathemas at the head OF
the man who permits all of this good
money to rust in the treasury, merely
in order to be honest.

learned men, but probably the most
preposterous vagary of any bolt of
lightning on record was that of the one
which attempted the conquest of a
Kentucky Negroes head, near Licking

standing under large oak, for shelter
from the storm The lightning struck
him squarely upon the head, ricochet-

WATSON ON LECTURE PLATFORM

Tom Watson thinks of going on the
lecture platform There is already
demand for his services by lecture
bureaus and chautauqua associations.
The one at GAINESVILLE offered him
$500 for a lecture, but he would not go
for less than $500. He does not care
to take the trouble of preparing lect
ure for one occasion, but is disposed to
consider q series of dates in cities at
$500 night. Mr.. Watson is engaged
this week defending Sig Lichenstein,
who Is charged with murder at Adrian,
Emanuel county, and Judge Roger
Gamble is associated with him as
counsel An acquittal is predicted.
Mr.. Watson has made great deal of
money practicing law since he quit
politics., and has invested much of it
in farms He finds time to study and
write good deal, as his ''History of
France bears witness At present he
is engaged on a biography of Ma
poleon, which he expects to finish by
Christmas. Mr.. Watson finds the
practice of law irksome. His business
is largely the defense of men charged
with capital offenses, and he feels the
responsibility so keenly that he cannot
sleep at night while case is pending.
For this reason Mr. Watson turns to the
lecture platform as a means of income,
free from such burdensome anxiety |
andmore in keeping with his scholar
ly tastes.
