The lease Of the Louisville and Nashville Will
run to the Atlantic coast line.
From good authority it is learned that when
the Gates Hawley interest turned over the con-
troll of the Louisville and Nashville Road to
j. p Morgan the latter took sin months
option on the stock with the understanding
that he should pay $3.50 cash FIR it or give
guaranty that would prove satisfactory to the
owners OF the stock.
Some time ago proposition suggesting an
exchange of securities on certain basis was
made by the Morgan interest, but II was re-
jccted by the Gates Hawley interest. The sec
ond proposition, which is on the basis above
described. is satisfactory to the gentlemen VIII"
delivered Louisville and Nashville contT9l to
Mr. Morgan and will be accepted by them.
Until recently 1t was supposed LOUISVILLE
and Nashville would be guaranteed at per
cent but under the terms Of this option the
stock had to he raised to a minimum Vaiue
of $50 per share. and from the market FOR

FACTIONS NOT In FAVOR
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DE-
LINERS A CURTAIN LECTURE
Says the Election of Congressman
is More to Be Desired Than
Scramble for Appoin-
tive Job.

Oyster Bay, Mass, Aug. 20-President
Roosevelt today in no uncertain tones
expressed his disapproval of factional diff
ferences in the Republican party.
Cecil A. Lyon, Chairman of the Repuo-
lican State Committee of Texas, called on
him and presented his side of the contro-
Nersy which has arisen among the Repuo-
licans Of the Lone Star State. The Pres
ident stated to him with the utmost en-
phasIs that no man had any authority
to speak for the President regards
Texas matters; that the President was
taking no side for or against any mai or
any faction among the Texas Repuoli-
cans; that as a matter of fact the Presi-
dent was exceedingly impatient with
those Republicans who went into fac
tional divisions. and that in any such
States as Texas or Virginia in which the
Republican party is in minority but yet
had a chance to do something, the Pres
ident felt the credit would fall to those
Republican leaders who were able to
make a good showing at the polls, espe-
cially for Congressional candidates and
not TO those who spent their time plot
ting how they could get delegates or re-
ceive offices. He told Mr. Lyon that he
could explain this to all Texan Republi-
cans of every faction.
The President also told him that II ever,
in any such Southern State, a Republican
Congressman was elected, it would
amount to far more in the Presidents
mind than anything which could be done
in the way of offices and that he felt that
there was little need of recognition for
any organization which existed only for
offices and delegates.
1t was learned that the President told
Chairman Babcock of the Republican
Congressional Committee when the latter
visited him few days ago, that he was
profoundly disconnected with the Vir-
9inia Republican organization for not
making resolute effort to elect Repub-
lican Congressman from the Western Dis
tricts Of Virginia. and that he felt that
an organiza ton which did not try to de-
velop the fullest party strength al the
polls had no claim upon him.
Mr.. Lyon was the Presidents guest at
luncheon. the other guests being Gsorge
B. Roberts, Director of the Mint Freder-
ick w. w. Hollis of New York. who was
Secretary to the American embassy at
The Hague conference and Dr. Albert
Shaw, editor of The Review of Reviews.
Before leaving for New York, Mr. Rob
erts stated that his call was of social ma
ture He said he had discussed Iowa pol
tiles with the President and had informed
him that the action of the Republicans
of Iowa on the tariff was not of a revolu-
tionary character. The Republicans of
his State. he said, believed that certain
changes in the tariff were necessary and
that it would be better to make the
move ment now than to wait until later
and be forced into it, Mr.. Roberts stated
that he had not made up his mind just
when he would lelinquish his Office TO as
sumo charge of the paper he has pur-
chased in Iowa. He said he was going
to give up his position, but that he might
not do il this yeac.

PROPOSED CUBAN LOAN.
Doubtful If Attempt Will Be Made
IN Float IL at Present.

Havana, Aug. Cot is doubtful II any at
tempt at present will be made to hoat the
proposed loan of $S5. 0o0.0 900. President Palma
and his cabinet are strongly opposed 10 the
revolutionary element which has been ciamor-
ing for the payment of the Cuban army and
which saw in this loan the only means to bring
about this payment.
This element has been somewhat appeased
by the movement started today to revise the
Cuban army lists with the object Of taking I'M
mediae steps o pay he soldiers. General Maxi
mo Gomez, assited by General Maya Rodri-
guez is at present engaged in revising the
lists and It probably will take from six to
eight months to complete the task. By the
time 1t is completed it is hoped the Govern
ment will be able to see its way clear to raise
the funds necessary to pay the soldiers.
In an interview today President Palma SAID
II am opposed to trying to float a large loan
until the administration can establish the fact
that can run he Government economically
and end up its first years experience with
surplus l appreciate the fact that we nave
not established any credit and that we cannon
expect to borrow money advantageousiy now
I would advise, for the present. a loan OF
81 900 0Oo to be distributed among the cane
growers Of the island. This would stimulate
Industry and put money In circulation among
a class in this country whose sad CONDITION,
1 fear is not realized in the United States.

80, is the heaviest draught vessel In
the fleet, draws slShlS "i'
the Supply - feet. ..
NavaI officers here generally agree that
the chances against the white squadron
in the game which is on are very Sieot
and that practically its only chance OIL
success lies in the eXistene OF hedNS
foo, under cover of which Commander
Pillshury might slip through the coIuoh
of scouts and reach an anchorage III an
unattended port. The distance between
C,ana cod the southern extremity of the
coast defended by Admiral Hlgglhson rs
and Portland, Me. is only about loo
miles In addition to the torpedo craft ana
his lighter ships which he could use as
scouts and string along between these
noints almost within signal distance OF
ca IN other. while the heavier ships were
held together ready to move at some
central point Admiral Higglnson mas
stationed ensigns all along the shore to
report the enemy the instant it is sight
ed. These naval officers will be reinforced
by all marine observers along the coast.
To win the white squadron must be in
mort for six hours without being con-
fronted with a superior force. Within that
time after the white squadron was sight
cd Admiral Higginson, if he held his
heavy ships midway between the two eX-
tremities of the line to he defended at
Rockport for instance, could reach his
enemy by steaming ten or eleven knots
an hour.
Another feature of the situation which
will initiate against the chances of the
white squadron Is the instruction Whleh
reouires Commander Pillsbury to enter
an undefend ID harbor"-one with deep
water approaches- with six fathoms'
oF water one capable of defense by guns
and mines" and one in which heavy ships
could anchor These restrictions will con-
fine him to less than dozen harbors
among them Portland, Portsmouth
Rockport, Salem and Provincetown None
of the many other places like Newbury-
port Ipswich, AnnisQuan, Gloucester
Manchester. Beverly. Marblehead above
Boston, or Plymouth. Barnstable ana the
other ports below would be aVallaole. A
full moon is also another factor against
the enemy's success. Inc haNai eNPel -
generally agree that an attempt to strike
the coast in the day time would be fool
hardy for the attacking fleet but at night
with very thick weather it might be pos
sible for Commander Pillsbury with his
ships darkened to creep in, pass the scouts
and quietly anchor without being report
ed until too late for Admiral Higginson
TO reach him with a superior force.

The Big Shipping Deal to Be

Talks of Strike.

New York, Aug. 20-Prominent among
the long list of passengers who arrived
today on the steamship Oceanic from
Liverpool were ]. Pierpont Morgan, Bish-
cp H. c. Potter of New York; Clement
A Griscom of Philadelphia, President of
the International Navigation Company;
p A. B. Widener of Philadelphia, and
Mrs, Patrick Campbell, the English &C
tress.
Mr.. Morgan declined 10 be interviewed.
saying he had nothing to give out for
publication.
Bishop Potter said he had had de-
lightful trip abroad, but was glad to get
home.
Il am surprised and sadly disappointed
to find the coal strike still unsettled" he
continued. ut Is certainly too bad that
it has not been settled long since. l sup
posed it was all over and the news of its
continuation, which greets me here, is
the one dark spot on most joyous home
coming. The anthracite coal operators
have all along maintained false posi-
ton. They take the stand that they will
not deal with the organizations. but in
sist on dealing with the men as individ-
uals. Now, this is all wrong. Any body
of men, whose interests are common, have
the right to organize into an association
for mutual protection and are entitled to
recognition as an organization in matters
which affect their individual and COM
bined interests
Clement A. Grscom said:
II do not know when the steamship
combine will be incorporated. When l
went away everything was ready for its
Incorporation. SO 1 expect it will take
place very soon.'
HAS the Cunard Line entered into the
combination?' he was asked.
mo, no one but the newspapers ever
considered the Cunard Line"
J. Ogden Armour, of Chicago. who also
was a passenger on the Oceanic, said in
response to inquiries, that he knew moth
ing about $3.50, 100000 beef trust being
organized.
Il have been away on purely pleas
ure trip" he said land have not been in
touch with what has been going on over
here during my absence. l know abso-
lutely nothing of the situation. l shall
go direct to Chicago and take up the
routine of business again."
When asked If he had not heard that
consolidation of the important beef
packing interests was under considera-
ton he said that he had heard of it. but
did not know what the amount OF capl-
tai stock proposed was.

Will Close Ship Deal.

New York, Aug 20-Referring to the
expected return to New York today OF
]. p. Morgan. The Journal of Com
merce says it is thought the financier's
return will be followed by definite move
ment involving the financial adjustment
of the steamship combination and adds;
From a source connected with the I'M
derwriting of the new combination 1t was
learned that it has by no means been
decided that the securities of the new
combination will be offered for public
subscriptions At any rate no immediate
attempt will be made to induce large
public subscriptions. The reason for this
is the absolute stagnation OF the ocean
steamship business which renders the
time particularly inopportune for noat-
ing the new securities on favorable terms.
1t Is, therefore, believed. that. while the
organization of the company will be
promptly proceeded with, the underwrit-
ing syndicate will assume the chief bur
den of taking care of the new securities
with the hope of disposing of them at ad-
vanced prices when the steamship bust
ness improves. That it will improve is
very generally expected in shipping
circles on account of the large crops OF
grain that are to be moved during the
coming autumn and winter.
''No definite decision on the question Of
inviting public subscriptions has. how
ever, yet been reached; and 1t Is JUS
possible, as indicated by another respon-
sible source, that Mr.. Morgan may Zee
disposed to take advantage of the gen
eral expectation of prosperity to market
the securities.

Mobile, Aug. 20.-CSpecial)-It dey elop-
ed today that the Mobile and Ohio Rail
road is behind the proposed extension
from Okolona, Miss-. to Houston, Miss,
a distance of forty miles. When asked
about the matter, Col. f. l.. Russell, Gen
eral Solicitor of the Mobile and Ohio,
said that he had acquired $4,000 worth Of
the subscribed stock Of the Nashville and
Mississippi Delta Railroad Company,
which owns the road. This road was
first exploited in 1873, and about six or
seven miles completed and trains run
over that for a while Then 1T went
through the courts in various forms till
the graded roadbed at last became the
property of the above named company.
Colonel Russell said that by virtue of
the requirement of the stock, he had
called a meeting OF the stockholders at
Okolona, Miss. on August y. for the
purpose of considering bond issue and
mortgage on the property to raise means
for the constructions of the road to the
Calhoun County line. a distance of about
forty miles and six or seven miles be-
