What Does This Mean!
From the Savannah News.


AttOrney-General Knox some davs ago
found that Senator Quay, of Pennsylva-
ma, had violated the civil service law in
a circular sent out by his authority sOlic-
iting campaign contributions from federal
office holders. The president agreed
with the attorney generals finding, and
ssued an executive order bearing upon
the subject. The civil service commi,-
sion took the matter up and formulated
charges against the senator. The depart
ment of justice has forwarded the charges
to United States District Attorney Hol-
land in Philadelphia, with instructions to
inquire into and report upon the matter.
In case Mr.. Hollands report confirms the
charges, a criminal prosecution against
the senator will be the next step. But
the district attorney is known a. "a QUAY
man." that is, Qnay's influence helped
him TO and keel.s him in the office No
body knows better than QUAY the I'M
pOrtance of having "his men, posted in
important places all along the line
If the above is not a canard it certainly
is Il very serious situation. IL is gener-
ally understood that Senator Quay and
Attorney General Knox are very close
friends, and it is extremely doubtful if
the above statement Is correct.

Rock Island Said to Be Trying
to Get Control.
Stock Is Advancing at Rate Of
Cent a Day.
1T MAY BE BERWYND.
Philadelphian Said to Be Fight.
ing For Possession.
Pennsylvania Road May Be In
the Deal.

Again the rumor has been revived
that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway is about to pass into the hands
OF new owners. The hnanciai eenters
read the story in the rapid advance in
Santa Fe stock. The following is the
report from Chicago:
Chicago. July 24.-It is the general i'm :
preston locally that another move is
checkerboard with the Santa Fe e.as the
king piece, and that important develop
ments may be expected. In some quar-
ters it is said the Berwynd syndicate
Santa Fe, recognizing the tremendous
Importance the property is assuming in
view of recent amalgamatioQS between
eastern and western lines
The story more generally credited Is
that the Rock Island Is securing con-
troll through the banking firm OF Speyer
& Co. 1t is now an unquestioned fact
that Speyer & Co. have been buying ex-
tensively of Santa Fe common.
There is also hint of a battle for
control of the property between the in
terest represented by Speyer & Co. and
the Berwynd syndicate. The common
stock under the spur of liberal buying
has advanced 20 points in the past three
months and 10 points in as many days.
One report is to the effect that the
Pennsylvania has become alarmed over
the situation brought about by the Van
derbilt alliance with the Northwestern,
Union Pacific and possibly the Southern
Pacific and the Erie-Burlington and
that the acquisition of coast road is
in line of prudence and defense.
The weight of opinion is that the
Moores desire the road in aid of their
project to make the Rock Island the
most powerful of western railway sys-
TENS.
The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat prints
a similar story under a Chicago Date
line. The Globe-Democrat's story is as
follows:
Chicago, July 24.-Has the Pennsyl-
vania company purchased the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe? Wall street
wired numerous reports to Chicago this
morning answering this question in the
affirmative. The market is almost bare
Of Atchison stock, compared with the
enormous capitalize ton and the very
heavy floating stock of securities tina,
might have been picked up a year OF
two ago. The merger business has
made it practically necessary for the
Pennsylvania management, said to b.
the wisest on the continent, to prOteci
its system, and@no more feasible or pro-
fitable alliance could have been though
of than that of Pennsylvania and Atch
isOn.

JAPAN SERVES NOTICE.
The MikadO Lays Claim to Mar
Gus Island.

Washington, July 24.-The japanese
government has served notice on the
state department that it claims posses
sion of Marcus island. toward which is
now heading an expedition under Cap
tain Rosehill with purpose of exploit
ing its guano deposits Regarding II
as extremely desirable that no collision
occur, the state department has taken
measures to advise Captain Rosehill
that he must offer no resistance If he
should fall in with a japanese warshp
which also is speeding for the island.
Rosehill landed on this island about ID
years ago. He put up a sign and de-
posted bottle setting forth his claims
to the island, erected f1agpOle and
hoisted the United States flag Then he
sailed away from the island, leaving il
unoccupied, q fact which may vitiate
the state department, but he neglected
for many years to file in the treasury
department the bond required by thu,
guano island laws. In fact, this bond
was only filed within the last year.
Meanwhile, finding a deserted island.
some japanese landed and began to
take away the guano. There are be-

ment holds that their title is good The

SHEEP MEN DRIVEN OUT
Their FlOcks Scattered in the
Mountains by Masked Men.

Lander, Wyo., July 24.-It is learned
that in addition. to killing a Mexican
sheepherder named Sam Galaxea, and
slaughtering several thousand sheep, a
band of $50 masked men surrounded all
the sheep camps and forced the sheep
men to abandon their flocks. After kill
ing one herd numbering some 1900
sheep, 25 other herds amounting to
about 65, 600 sheep were driven into the
mountains and left to shift for them
selves. The sheepmen have been threat
ened with instant death if they go after
their nocks. The sheep are now the prey
of wild animals and if they escape this
death the loss will be very heavy as
they are nearly all ewes and lambs. The
scene of the lawlessness is lis miles
west of Lander The sheriff is power
less and the militia may be called out
to protect the sheep men.

OATS PASS CORN.
July Option and Cash Advanced
to 20 Cents.

Chicago, July 24.-July oats. and the
cash article Of standard grade, today
advanced to 20 cents, only one cent un-
der the panic prices of 1867 and 1874,
and in excess of the present price of
July corn. July oats opened unchanged
at 81 cents but owing to the scarcity of
supplies it needed only the purchase of
10000 bushels, wanted by shorts, to send
the price up to the figure mentioned.
The situation in July oats is termed a
natural corner, although one influential
trader is long considerable per cent
age of the stuff which has been sold.
The situation was brought about chief
ly by the weather. Traders habitually
bearish sold heavily short on prospects
of a good crop. but receipts for some
time owing to the bad weather, have
been coming in in crib lots, with the
percentage of contract very small. A
plan was set in motion to bring train
load from California to relieve the
plight of the short interest, but the
scheme was abandoned as it was found
that it would be impossible to work the
cereal through the elevators before

Supply efSteel Billets Has Over
taken the Demand.
Buying In Europe Has About
Come to an End.
ORDERS FOR RAILS.
Contracts Booked For Next Year
Of Over l 100000 Tons.
Structural Iron For Next Years
Use Must Be Ordered Now.

New York, July A.-Pressure for steel
billets has abated, according to the Iron
Age, and importers are now inclined to
the opinion that the buying of foreign
billets is at an end. This view of the
situation is confirmed by offers made
the past week of considerable quantities
of foreign billets for resale. The billet
situation, while thus shown to be easier
has not led to any special weakness in
prices. Some contracts already have
been made for deliveries extending into
next year on the basis of current prices.
Foundry pig iron supply has been cur
tailed by the stoppage of numerous
eastern furnaces for lack Of fuel, and
by the banking of several in the central
west also unable to secure enough coke
to keep them from running. The short
age in pig iron is particularly bad In
the east and numerous foundries are
seriously suffering. The furnaces in the
anthracite regions are not only produc-
ing little iron, but their product is quite
frequently off grade, which will not
meet contract requirements. Shipments
are coming in freely from abroad.
The southern furnace companies have
booked on the basis of ST, Birmingham
No. 2, a heavy tonnage for that de-
livery, mainly from western consun =
ers. The implement manufacturers are
prominent among those who are pur-
chasing foundry pig iron for next year s
delivery Chicago reports sales OF
foundry pig iron the last week aggregat-
ing about 16O, 900 tons, part northern and
part southern. The rail tonnage for the
next year continues to pile up. Addt-
tional orders have been placed during
the week, and the contracts booked for
1903 are now considerably above 1.O0O,-
900 tons, exclusive of the business taken
by the Colorado mills. The purchasing
power of the railroads and their dispo-
sition to continue to make improve
ments are shown by the fact that heavy
orders are coming up for bridge work
| for next year. 1t is necessary now to
place orders for next years delivery
| by those who desire structural material
| if they wish to make themselves certain
| of securing 1t. Foreign business In
beams is increasing and it Is expected
| that importations will grow larger for
some time instead of smaller. Speltet
| has advanced sharply, while other
metals have shown but little change.

have been exhausted as points of sup
