STROKE FOR SAMPSON
Admiral Not at Deaths Door, as
Reported, Yet Continues
Failing. ~.

Washington, Feb. alarming rumors
were afoat mere to-day that Admiral
Sampson had taken a serious turn for the
worse within the last twenty-four hours.
There has been no decided change in the
admiraPs condition, but a steady retro
gression is in progress, which is common
to his disease.
E. S. Theal, representing stayton &
Campbell, counsel for Admiral Sampson,
called at the White House to-day and filed
a brief in the Schley case. The document
is devoted entirely to one subject-a pro-
test against the claim set up in Admiral
Schley's appeal that he was in supreme
command during the battle off Santiago
The paper will be considered by the presi-
dent in connection with Admiral Schley s
appeal.
The principal point in the brief is the
allegation that it was SIMPSONS custom
when moving about among his fleet tc
hoist the signal Disregard movements oil
flagship" but that he Invariably hoisted a
specific signal when going beyond sigma
distance of his fleet directing the second
in command to assume command. The
brief says this signal had been brought
on deck of the New York but had moi
been hoisted when the New York returne G
to join in the battle.
Secretary Long to-day issued an orde
regarding the retirement Of Rear AID
miral Sampson. All he does is to quot
letter written by President McKinle,
to the admiral, March 49,, 1899, praisin
that officer for his services in the Spanis]
war and referring in commendatory term
to your very considerate letter of tn
9th inst, in which you express desir
that, without reference to your own in
terests, the other naval officers who rem
dered such conspicuous service in tn
| naval campaign in the West Indies hav
| the advancement which you recommen
| for them, and in which you ask nothin
| for yourself"

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. milwaukee
democrats who worship at the shrine Of
Rose say that the talk about the mayors
candidacy for the vice presidency is nei-
Their hot air nor a premature explosion.
The southern trip of the Chicago dem
ocracy is to be made with Mayor Rose as

At the Kansas City convention he missed
the craftsmanship by mere scratch, on
account of his known opposition to the
free silver idea, and since that time he
has posed as the mouthpiece of the ele-
ment in the party which desires to shake
off the load placed upon it by Bryan with
out being known as gold democrats
He has talked freely in opposition to the
free coinage proposition at Indianapolis
and other places in the last year or two
and he is really looked upon as a Moses.

NORTH:
Rumor That It May Go Into
a Vanderbilt Holding
Company.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Feb. People connected
with the North Western are telling
friends there are special reasons for the
large advances in that stock. They do
not say what the reasons are. Some of
them say they do not know, but are told
to keep their stock. Others say they
have an intimation Of some developments
of Importance concerning which they are
not at liberty to speak. Officers of the
company say they know of nothing spe-
cial and see no reason for the high price
of both stocks except appreciation of
merit.
It is true that the merit of North
Western justifes very high quotations.
The capital per mile is on a very low
basis, far below what it would cost per
mile to duplicate the system. The COM
pany has been putting money into it's
property for years, and has written off
large sums from its profit and loss sur
plus. 1t is hardly possible that it will be
thought wise to arouse criticism by very
high dividends, hence broad possibilities
lie in the direction of some changes either
in control, real or nominal, or in capital
ization.
There are rumors of a Vanderbilt hold
ing company into which the North Wes-
tern may go at high price. The strength
in Northwestern has brought to the
front various rumors of new granger
combinations and the character of buy
ing in St. Paul points in the same direc-
ton.
The advance in Iowa Central is due to
a revival of rumors that control of the
roa dis being sought by the Illinois Cen
trail Insiders are reported to be pick
ing up stock with a view to transferring
a large block of it to the Illinois Central
at a price considerably above the present
market.

STILL MERGING
Hill Said toBe in Control of
Puget Sound-Alaska
Trade.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Tacoma, Wash. Feb. James j. Hill,
1t is said, has secured practically the en-
tire control of the steamship trade be-
tween Puget sound and Alaska. For two
years or more he has controlled the Pa
citic Coast Steamship company. This gives
him the largest fleet operating to Alaska
Walter Cakes is president of the Alaska
Steamship company which operates the
only competing line. A few weeks age
Louis Hill, son Of President Hill, was
married in New York to Miss Taylor OF
st. Paul, sister of Mrs. Walter Cakes
and now the Cakes company has an.
nounced change in rates which meets
those in force by the Hill company.
Thus the two lines to southeastern
Alaska are controlled by the Hill famil.
and their associates.
