CABINET is TOO FIRM
London Newspapers CTiticise Re.
fusal Of the Requests
of Beers.

London April i6.-The Daily Mail in
its issue this morning says il under
stands a serious hitch has occurred in
the peace negotiations in South Africa
The cabinet has decided to refuse a
strongly worded request from the BOer
leaders at Pretoria for an armistice
pending the negotiations.
This alone is not likely to cause the
Beers to witHdraw from the conference.
says the Daily hail. but what threat
ems 30 stop the negotiations is the fact
that the government declines to place
the Cape rebels on the same footing
as the hurgherS with respect to am
nesty and is not inclined TO withdraw
the Punishment proclamation.
These features are regarded by the
Beers as two cardinal principles in the
lrreducible minimum Of terms which
Lord Miner went TO Pretoria TO ascer-
tain auC in return for which the Beers
agree 10 the loss Of independence and a
general surrender. Their other de-
mands. continues the Daily Mail are
that Great Britain shall rebuild and
reStock the farms. take over the legal
claims and liabilities of the two repub-
lies and grant representative govern
ment within shorter period than is
nov contemplated.

MILLIONS CHANGED HANDS
Fight Between Gates and Belmont For Control Of l. NJ Makes
Day One of Most Remarkable Ever KnOwn-Gates
VictodoUs-No Merger at Present

NEW YORK, April 15.-Wall street
~ passed through one Of its most ex-
citing and sensational periods to
day. The Louisville & Nashville situa-
ton, which has hung menacingly over
the district for week or moSe, has
cleared by the undisputed statement
that John ". Gates and his associates
had wrested control Of the property
from the Belmont party and were in
absolute possession. Accompanying
this statement, which had been dis
counted the day before, was one that
the Gates faction had selected J. P.
Morgan & Co. to settle the differences
between the contending interests.
While these events were happening
a movement without parallel in the
history of the stock exchange was on
in Southern Railway. Trading in
Southern Railway common set in on a
tremendous scale. and at one time in
terest centered almost entirely in that
stock
II became evident before the open
ing Of the market that a settlement
would be reached. At the Office of J.
p. Morgan & Co. a series of conferences
were held before 10 o'clock. Those
present during the morning were
George ". Perkins and William p
Hamilton, representing the Morgan in
terests; August Belmont. Samuel Spen-
Ger, president of the Southern Railway;
Edward Hawley, president of the Iowa
Central and Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroads; John w Gates, Talbot J.
Taylor. head of the brokerage firm of
that name and son-in-law of James r.
Keene, and Francis L. StetsOn, one of
Mr.. MOrgans attorneys.
Gates Issues a Statement.
This conference broke up shortly be-
fore il o'clock Mr. Gates was among
the first to leave. and it soon became
known that ~ would issue a statement
telling of peaceful solution of the
matter. Shortly before noon the ap-
pended announcement was given out
by the brokerage firm of Harris, Gates
& Co, in which John ". Gates IS a
special partner.
we have bought a large amount Of
stock Of the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road. We did not buy it for specula-
ton. bat for investment believing alb
solutely in the present and future value
OF the property. There viii not be any
corner in the stock. We have placed
the entire matter in the hands of J. r.
Morgan & Co. and requested them 10
act as arbitrators because Of the prom
ineuce of the property and a desire not
20 disturb in any manner the general
market condition and because we
know they o. = Morgan & Col. have
no interest whateveT in the property
or in recent purchases
This statement was later changed
control etc. The correction was made
by John +. Harris. who had Just paid a
second visit TO the Morgan banking
house.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-04-16

Mr.. Belmont made another hurried
visit to Morgan & Co. soon after the
/ Gates statement was issued. He de-
clined to say anything. as did the Nor
/ gan representatives. Mr.. Perkins. who
/ had been most active in the preliminary
negotiations, seemed at first disposed
to say something dealing with the
terms arranged between the Gates and
Belmont factions. He changed his
mind, however, and announced that
some definite declaration would be
made by the arbitratOrs late in the
afternoon. When that time came Mr..
Perkins decided to withhold the Nor
gan statement until late at night. Mr.
Belmont. on hearing Of this decided to
withhold anything he might have for
publication until the Morgan statement
had been issued. Mr.. Perkins and Mr.
Belmont were i'm conference late in the
afternoon and both said that formal
declarations would be sent out by them
before midnight
Throughout the day operations in
Southern Railway shares continued on
an enormous scale. The demand was
extraordinary almost from the outset.
The common stock advanced 35s and
the preferred 81 points. Blocks Of
5000 and 10000 shares were common
and there was one string of &c. 600
shares and another Of $1,000 while the
trading was at its height
Everybody Wanted to Buy.
Much Of the early buying was attrib-
uted to Morgan influence. but it soon
became clear that the Gates CLIQUE. as
well as room traders generally. were
taking a hand i'm the game In the
first half hour fully zoo. 600 shares of
Southern Railway common changed
hands. BY the end of the first hour
transactions in this stock alone reached
a total of over $50. shares. BY noon
more than half d million shares had
changed hands.
Dealings fell off after that to some
extent but the records for the number
of shares Of a single stock sold in one
hour. in two hours and in one DAYS
trading were all shattered as a result
Of Southern Railways performance to-
day. The total sales for the day reached
a total of S64 800 shares The total out
standing stock of the company is I ,200.-
600 shares
President Spencer. when asked as to
the future relations Of Southern and
Louisville & Nashville. made this state
ment.
The Southern Railway had no inter-
est in the purchase, and It VIII have no
interest in il az any time in the future.
Louisville d Nashville win not pass to
the Southern Railway. Neither directly
or indirectly. in any shape. manner or
form. wiil Southern Railway have any
thing TO do with Louisville & Nash
viiIe.'

announcement made by them when
7 their recent treaty was announced. and
serious complications may be looked
for IN consequence.
The Chinese government is using
every effort to put down the rebellion
but the efforts have been unavailing.
and many of the trained soldiers sent
against the rebels have deserted to
them.
According to a story from another
source, the rebellion was fOmented
through the governor Of Kwangsi. who
was won over to the French cause BY
secret ENJOYS from French China. This
story is borne out i'm a dispatch 10 the
Toxic Asahi from Pekin that the Chi
nese government has been advised bv
the governor of the spread of the re-
bellion, and demanding the issuance Of
an order 10 the VicerOy of LANG KWang
province to dispatch troops against the
rebels.
Acknowledges His Guilt.
The governor has also asked the
Pekin government to relieve him from
Office, acknowledging that he was re-
sponsible for the outbreak of the re-
beilion. The Pekin authorities have.
without accepting the resignation. or
dered him to endeaVor to crush the In
surrection. Meanwhile orders nave
been sent to Tao Nah. viceroy Of LANG
Kwang, to dispatch troops to his Dor
ders to stop the spread Of the rebellion.
and to reinforce the government SOL
diers at KwanSsi.
A battle occurred between the rebels
and the government forces under Cen
eral Ma Yuh Kwan on March I8. and
although the imperial officer reports
ha al IA D.
with the loss of eighty of his own men,
the rebels continue to advance.
The battle took place IN a valley and
the imperial troops surprised the reb-
els, who advanced right up to the
masked batteries Of the government
forces. which opened fire on them at
close quarters.
Capture the Guns.
The first discharge Of the govern
ment batteries caused a heavy loss OF
life, but the rebels were not disheart-
ened, for they charged the batteries
and captured and destroyed the field
guns OF the government forces. The
imperial troops fled, leaving eighty
dead. after FIVE hours Of hard fighting
al close quarters.
The rebels have robbed in a wholesale
manner along their line Of march, de-
spelling the people, rich and poor They
have killed a number Of villagers, land
killed the mandarins in the several
towns which endeavored 70 resist them.
The commander Of the French squad
ron offered TO dispatch 500 bluejackets
to the assistance of the Chinese govern
ment troops, but the viceroy Of Kwang-
81 declined any assistance from the
French commanders
In HOnan the tax riots have culmi-
mated in another instruction in the
north. the great trouble being in the
districts Of Nang Yang and Tung Pc.
After a short siege the church at Pi
Yang was captured and burned, fifteen
converts being thrown on the flames
and burned to death. Two others es-
capped. The insurTection in Honan Is
due TO the disafectiOn arising from
the burden of the indemnity in conse-
quence of the late Boxer outbreak.
