San Jose, Cal, May 14.-Thousands
Of people between Del Monte and San
Jose, who had been anticipating a
sight of the president for months
were disappointed. The presidents
presence in San Jose for an hour in
the afternoon took the edge off the
disappointment here, where the rose
carnival was being held in his honor
and where the floral displays sur
passed anything ever before seen in
ing Del Monte the cabinet carried out
the itinerary as originally planned,
stopping at Pajaro and Santa Cruz
and visiting the big trees in the San
Lorenzo valley, but they had no heart
to put into the festivities in the alb
sence of their chief and the keen re-
gret of the people was written in
their countenances. Many expressions
of kindly sympathy for Mrs. Mckinley
were heard at each stopping place.
At Santa Cruz Secretary of State
Hay was the representative of the
president to the address of welcome
made by the mayor. The presidents
presence here barely saved the day.
He ran down from San Francisco in
his special car, arriving here just as
the cabinet train pulled into the city
from the south. But he only remained
for the formal exercises. At $3.50
o'clock, when they were concluded,
he was driven back to the station and
left Immediately for San Francisco.
At st. James square, opposite the
courthouse,
Handsomely Decorated Stand
had been erected and here the formal
exercises took place. Immediately in
the rear of the stand was the big bou-
quet of which so much has been heard.
1t was 80 feet in circumference and
stood in it's frame rs feet high The
stem was telegraph pole sunk in the
ground. 1t was composed of cut flow
ers Of every variety that blooms. The
idea of presenting this immense floral
offering to Mrs. Mckinley originated
with the ladies of San Jose and the
presentation was made to the pres-
dent by Mrs. E. O. Smith, who ex-
pressed tender words of regret for
Mrs. McKinley's illness and her
hopes for her quick recovery. The
members of the cabinet took the long
drive through the orchards of the
Santa Clara valley, which had been
planned for the president, visiting on
the way the Jesuit college at Santa
Clara and the University of the Pa
cific
Great preparations had been made
along the route to receive the presi-
dent and the disappointment at not
seeing him was very keen.

UNION PACIFIC CONTROL
BATTLE ON BETWEEN MORGAN
AND THE HARTMAN
SYNDICATE.
FORMER MAY WIN FIGHT

Has Purchased a Large Block of the
Stock-Practically Settled That the
Burlington Zeal Will BE Put Through
by the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern.
New York, May 14.-The World
says that Senator William A. Clark
who is now abroad, was large pur
chaser of Union Pacific stock during
the day and that these purchases We're
made in behalf of the Hill-Morgan
party. The World also says:
AN immense battle is now on for
control of Union Pacific, the fight be-
ing retaliatory by Morgan against the
Hartman syndicate for the latter's
struggle to wrest Northern Pacific
from the Hill-Morgan crowd. Kuhn,
Loeb &, Co. have completed revised
account OF the stock actually held by
them and their allies here and by
their agents abroad, This count
showed a great change over that made
on Saturday. While the stock actu-
ally in their possession does not give
them control the margin is very mar
row and they still have a great many
purchases to hear from. If one fourth
Of these result in deliveries of actual
stock they will have control"
A member of the Harriman-Kuhn,
Loeb syndicate, who gave these facts
to World reporter said:
"When Morgan e Co. stated they
had control of the Northern Pacific
Trey made the statement in perfect
good faith. | stated that stocks actu-
that we have got control. We do not
wish it to be understood that Morgan
& Co. have been saying anything that
they were not conscientiously enti-
tied to say"
Hill and Morgan Make $2o,ooo,ooo.
The Harriman-kunn-Loe syndi
cate made no attempt to say that
their control of Union Pacific could
not be purchased away from them by
the high prices appealing to some Of
the stockholders who are at present
allied with them. When their repre-
sentative was asked who was buying
the big blocks of Union Pacific he
said:
"Our best information is that it is
Senator Clark and the First National
bank. OF course in this Senator Clark
would be acting in the interests of
those who are hostile to Mr.. Harri
| man"
Official announcement of those who
have control of the Northern Pacific
will not be made until the end of the
month and perhaps not until later.
1t was practically settled during the
day that the purchase Of the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy road by the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
will be put through. The buying roads
are to issue 5000 bonds for every $10O
par value share of Burlington stock
This will give Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Nor.
gan profit of nearly $4,000 900.

James A. Chambers Issues Statement
 Gambling on tho Deutschland.


 James A. Chambers Issues a Statement
 Gambling on tho Deutschland.
 Pittsburg, Sept. 4.-James A. Cham bers president of the American Win dow Glass Co.,, whose name has been used in connection with stories or gambling on the recent trip of the Deutschland and as a member of the Pittsburg syndicate, which, as was al- legged. bet $250,oo0 to s150,000 on the American cup defender, tonight issued the following signed statement:
 with Mir. M K McMullin and sev- eral other gentlemen I was in Europe on business. We came back on the Deutschland and there met many prom inent Pittsburgers, among them being A. H. Peacock, D. M. Clemson, Hum phreys Miller, John K. Bryden, and W. I. Muslin. Some of them were return ing from their vacation and having no business cares we were enjoying our selves
 'Every day we had auction pools on the run of the ship. Twenty men were in each pool, which averaged s700 to $500. These were S5 pools. On one day we had a s10 pool which after the auction contained from S1,SOO to s1, 900. Another we had one larger hat of decimal pool Tn this pool were ten men who put in 1925 each, making $25o. All the other pools were for $5 each, or $500 altogether.
 Some of our party played more or less poker every day during the voy- age. the limit of our game being S5. There was no such betting in the poker game as has been published. The largest pot on the entire trip did not exceed $100.
 "There was no other poker or card games on the boat participated in by any one in which the stakes were any higher than the game mentioned so that the betting was not extraordinary.
 Regarding the alleged wager Of s25O, 900 to s150,000 said to be made by a Pittsburg syndicate, of which l am supposed to be a member, l want to say as plainly and as distinctly as l can. there Is no such wager so far as Pittsburgers are concerned. No syndi- date of Pittsburgers was formed in New York or in this city to put up s25O. 900 or any other sum, and no certi- fled check on any prominent bank or any other bank for that purpose was issued here yesterday. I do not know the intention of the publication of the story of the best and the publication about heavy gambling, but do know there Is no truth in them.
 Owing to the wide publication the matter has received within the past few days I deem it necessary to make this statement on behalf of my friends and myself
 Signed: J. A. chambers
 MT. Muslin was shown the statement of MT. Chambers and said: "So far as the gambling on the trip is concerned have already entered my absolute and explicit denial So far as my connection with the wager on the yacht race IS concerned, I consider the incl dent closed and so under no circum- stances will I consent to be quoted in the matter.
 MT. Muslin says MT. Kingsley was introduced to him in London as the commissioner for the London Express.

Report That She Has Been Selected to
 Defend tho Cup.

NepOTL lnut Shc nus sseeh SciectoA so
 Defend the Cup.
 New AYork, Sept. 1.-The World to- morrow will say: From private source, which is most reliable, the World learns that the Columbia has been chosen to defend the America's cup. In consequence of this decision there will be no race to-day. The cup committee after several days of seri- ous debate and after the most careful and critical analysis of all the facts and conditions finally came to the con- clusion that it would be unsafe to choose the Constitution. It was decid- ed that there is not sufficient time left to overcome what they term the Con- stitution's "crankiness." The World is informed on the same excellent author ity that the members of the cup com mittee frankly believe that the coming series of races with Shamrock will be very close, but Columbia's improved form and the splendid work of her crew inspire them with confidence that she will successfully defend the cup.

G0EBEL CONNECTS QUARREL
EX-SECRETARY OF STATE POWERS
 NEARLY KILLED.
James Howard Strikes Him in tho Head
 With a Heavy Inkstand During Q Conference n Kentucky yJail-TroubIo for Defense of the Men in Their New Trials.

Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 4.-Janes How ard and ex-Secretary of State Powers, convicted as Goebel murder conspira- tors, quarreled in jail here this after noon. Howard threw heavy inkstand at Powers, striking him in the head Powers was knocked down and bled profusely. The only witness was For mer Adjutant General J. K. Dixon, who was in conference with the two men. Powers was too ill tonight to be seen. Howard, on the advice of his attorneys, refused to talk Towards new trial will begin here next Monday, and his attorneys have been In conference here all day.
 Powers was unconscious for thirty five minutes and it was at first thought that his skull had been fractured, but Dr. de Maree said late tonight that he could find no evidence of a fracture. He remained with the patient till late hour Symptoms of concussion devel- oped and a slight paralysis of the left arm and side appeared. Dr. de Maree would not state how serious he thought the wound might prove, but intimated that he considered his condition seri- ous.
 Colonel J. K. Dixon, assistant adju- tant general under the administration of Former Governor Taylor, who had just returned from eastern Kentucky, where he collected considerable money for the defense of Powers and Howard, was in the room with the men at the time of the trouble. There was con- troversy between the two men as to the division of the money. Both grew an- gry and Howard seized an iron ink stand and hurled 1t at Powers with ter rife force. Powers was struck on the side of the head. A branch of the tenn pie artery was severed and a gash of four inches laid open.
 Both men have been in Jail more than year and apparently have been the best of friends. Howard, talking to Colonel Dixon afterwards, expressed deep regret that the affair had occurred.

Shaffer of the Amalgamated Associa- tion:.
 Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. Ave, the members of Crescent lodge of A. A. or I. $. & T. w., assembled, denounce the statements made by J. D. Hickey, when he says that this strike was in stigated by President Shaffer and is not constitutional, as absolutely false and is not worthy of any consideration by the members of the A. A., and we deny the assertion that 72 per cent. of the mills of the United States Steel Corporation aer at work.
 Steve Dawson, President"
 "W G. Evans, Secretary"
 The above, together with the tele- gram received by MT. Shaffer from President Gompers of the American Federal ton of Labor, denying that there was a meeting in Buffalo to consider the charges made by MT. Hickey, would indicate that the charges have fallen flat.
