HILL AND MORGAN.
Relations of Magnates Not So Close
as in the Past

1t is a fact pretty well known in the
financial world that the relations ex-
isting between James J. Hin and J 2.
Morgan are not quite as close as they
were somewhile ago. While there has
been no open rupture between them,
their relations are not as cordial as they
were before the Northern Pacific panic.
AT the time of the Northern Pacific
episode J P. Morgan was in Europe.
and the handling of the negotiations fell
largely into the hands of James J. Hill
When j. p. Morgan returned he ex-
pressed his opinion very freely regard
ing the manner in which the negOtia-
tons had been handled. Another matter

arrangement between James J. Hill ana
J. p Morgan is the large iron ore de-
posits controlled by the former. Mr..
Morgan Is very anxious TO purchase
these iron ore deposits for the United

CHAVEZ TELLS HIS STORY.

Manuel Chavez, the defendant in the
sensational murder trial in progress in
the. Circuit Court at Tampa, was
placed on the stand Saturday. and told
the story of the tragedy at the Allen
residence. He denied everything
which had been brought out in the
trial of his having Illicit relations with
Mrs. Allen; also stated that he had
never in his life kissed the woman.
He gave an account of the st. Peters
burg trip, and denied in detail the tes-
timony which was introduced by the
states witnesses. Chavez said that he
went to the Allen residence on the IA
tai morning in response to a telephone
message from Allen. He was accom-
panied by Ralph Sabourin. He admit
ted having pistol in his pocket, say
ing that he was accustomed to carry
weapon, as he had large sums of
money on his person for his factory,
and was armed as a matter of pre-
caution. When he entered the house
Allen invited him to have a seat, and
then repeated the statement as made
by Mrs. Allen on the stand few days
ago. After he was knocked down by
Allen, he managed to get up in some
manner and started for the door,
when Allen again grabbed him by the
collar and choked him He almost be-
came unconscious. A scuffie followed
but he managed to get away again.
Before he reached the front Allen
again grabbed him and threw him
down. He then thought he was about
to be killed, and pulled his pistol and
fired one shot. He heard Mrs. Allen
remark that she had been shot, and
felt some one. trying to disarm him.
He then fired three more shots in
quick succession, when Allen let him
CO. and he made his way out of the
house. He testified that he did not
know where he shot Allen After
leaving the place he looked for an Off
Ger, and was soon in custody of Deputy
Sheriff Stevens. On the cross-exami
nation, Chavez stuck to his story, and
was not confused in the least. In the
afternoon the defense rested, when the
state placed number of witnesses on
the stand in rebuttal. Thirty or more
are yet to be examined by the state
and the indications are that another
week will be consumed in the trial be-
fore the jury brings in a verdict. 1t
is~thought that the arguments of the
five attorneys will take up several
days.

ON THE GOVERNoRsHIP.

Augusta Herald; The announcement
that Hon. Boykin Wright would in ali
likelihood be in the race for Governor
has been talked of a great deal among
prominent people of Augusta and es-
pecially the legal fraternity, where the
consensus of opinion is that it would
not be at all amiss for Augusta to
furnish the states next chief execu-
tive. More than once attention has
been called to the fact that the Au-
gusta bar is noted throughout the
South. as well as in the state of Geor-
gia, as a source for brains, worth and
Sood material. In years of the past
the body has been prominently recog-
nized and always with considera BILE
credit to the city and the bar. Lately
there has also been recognition, princi-
pally in the appointment of Mr..
Wright as Attorney General to sue
coed Joseph NJ. Terrell and more re-
Gently the placing of Mr.. Joseph r.
Lamar upon the Supreme Court bench.
OF the candidates for the governorship
at the expiration of the term of Gov
Terrell there is an indication here of
the belief that Hon. Dupont Query
will not enter in 1904. At the end of

New York, Jan. 12-Total sales to-
day were S21, 300 shares. The market
to-day suffered a large shrinkage in
activity and prices interrupted only
by occasional fluctuations worked
downward. Profit taking was INDUCED
IN extensively and many accounts
were iiquidated in the fear that the
dissolution of the money pool might
leave the money market subject to
some fiurries before the month is out.
Some selling was done on the fear that
the extensive speculation of the Chica-
go crowd might receive an unex-
pected setback from the conservative
eastern interests. The market gradu-
ally declined a point or more for the
principal issues in the first hour. There
was extensive buying by London and
a small rally ensued, but the lowest
prices were made in the late after
noon Some specialties displayed ex-
ceptional strength and unusual activi-
ty and sharpe advances attended the
progress towards settlement of the
franchise question in Chicago.
The Union Traction stocks scored a
good rise. United States Steels were
generally firm. Copper declined from
the start with indications of realiza-
ton conducted as quietly as possible.
The market closed heavy. Loaning
