CLEWS ON THE DEAL.

Evening Post Henry Clews, the no.
ted authority on finance, as well as
on commercial review, contributes a
lengthy article on the Northern
Securities deal. = He says that the
formation of this company was a
suggestion of j. p. Morgan, and
brought about a stnpendons peace,
where it otherwise might have been
a stupendous war, and that the pre-
siding genius OF the stupendons
peace is James J. Hill. The COM
pany is alleged to have grown out
of what is now known as ''Blue
Thursday in May last, when Wall
lstreet was in a panic, and when
Northern Pacific stock jumped to
the fictitious price OF $1,000 per
share, by which so many people
were caught short.
Mr.. Hill bad previously seen the
! immense benefit that would result
from the unison of action on part OF
the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railroads, with a similar
unison by the Canadian Pacific,
which is owned by two of Mr.. Hill S
friends, and who have taken his ad-
vice on all railroad matters Mr..
Hill, himself, is an important factor
in the Canadian Pacific. After ac-
: quiring over 80, 0O6 shares of North
ern Pacific stock, Mr. Hill supposed
that with what J. P. Morgan owned
they would be in absolute control of
the latter. In order to get a south
ern and eastern outlet for these two
roads from St. Paul the Burlington
was decided upon, and the shares
of that company we're gathered in
quietly without alarming the oppos-
| ing interests. When the consumma-
tion of the,deal was made public,
Hartman, Schiff, backed up by the
Goulds, Vanderbilts, Rockefellers
and other interests, believing that
their southern and southwestern in
! terests we're being placed in jeop-
ardy by the consolidation Of these
three lines, called on Mr.. Hill and
asked him divide the control of the
Burlington. Mr.. Hill refused say
ing that such action would be Of
no advantage to the three companies
represented by him. Therenpon
Hartman and Schiff, backed up by
/ the others, commenced d fierce fight
for wrestling the control of the
Northern Pacific from the Hill Nor
gan interests. On Monday. May 6,
/ this battle began, n 2. jumping
from ia to 1913 The next four
days it continued to jump until
81, ,09O per share was paid for a
number of shares in lots Of one
hundred each. As a result of this
furry in n p. stock thousands of
people we're ruined and the Harri-
man Schiff people had secured control
of the NorthernPacifc. A truce fol
lowed, pending j. p. Morgan s re-
turn from France, and the latter
brought about peace by the organi-
zation of the Northern Securities
Co. Hill and Morgan are to control

ness is divided equally between the

interests.

LIVE WIRE
An Electric Light
Mans Narrow
Escape.

HILO, August &c. E. Sedgwick,
manager of the Hilo Electric Light Co,
narrowly escaped death from contact
with a live wire last Friday. For
few seconds he was stricken with
deadly current of 1000 volts, and to the
All Ping, Chinese merchant, he owes
his life.
Mr.. Sedgwick had been called by All
Ping to examine a light in his store,
which was acting queerly. The bulb
was glowing with more than usual bril-
liancy. Mr. Sedgwick took hold of the
wire above the bulb to make a close
examination. He instantly dropped
limp and unconscious to the floor. His
hands clutcfed the overcharged wire
and the flesh began to burn. All Ping
taking in the situation, grasped an UNI
brella and with a quick movement,
jerked the wire from the hands of the
for assistance, Captain Lake and Mr..
Mackie fastened to the store. They
found Sedgwick still half unconscious
and scarcely able TO talk. He soon re-
covered and was on the street again in
a few hours.
The cause of the trouble was a cross
ing of the wires, by which the primary
current was carried to the wrong line.
