s "A group of Philadelphia multi-mil

OF the Pennsylvania railroad is leader,
has suffered tremendous losses by the
recent decline in stocks. Some of
them are crippled. One is on the brink
of financial failure. All of them have
suffered heavily by the recent fall in
stocks, for the reason that they have
been the victims of a campaign di-
rected specially against the companies
in which they were most heavily in
terested.
This campaign, planned, engineered
and executed by the Gould-Rockefel-
Ter interests as an act of revenge
upon President Cassatt, is intended
by them to weaken President Cassatt

Der his father as a young man say that
Lord Hugh is the very duplicate of his
famous progenitor. He is regarded as
the enfant terrible of his party, but
was idolized by the old marquis, who
looked upon the young man as the sue
cessor to the family honors in the po-
litical arena. The dead statesman, it is
said, long ago gave up the hope once
conferred in his eldest son and heir. 1t
is to Lord Hugh that the Cecils look
for their continued gloritication.
Tall, thin rs a reed. very pallid, very

But he is a Cecil all over. even to the
family stoop and the shabbiness of his
clothes. He was of course born In poll
tics. After leaving school he was made
private secretary to his father, who
was then foreign minister, and. being
a good Tory, as well as his fathers
son, was in due time elected member
from Greenwich. He represented his
electors so creditably and respectfully,
for he always managed to get his name
into the papers, thus giving Greenwich
a boost in its own estimation, that he
was e'ected again, and he bids fair to
represent Greenwich for the rest OF his
political life. which promises to be
long, strenuous and interesting.
The halo of the Cecil name protects
him from abuse, and the prestige of 1t
gives him a power that another young
man of equal ability could not COM
mand. In England he is regarded as
the ablest of the sons of the late leader

title Is not without ability, he has as
yet failed to show the qualities that
made his father great.
james Edward Hubert Gascoyne Ce-
Gil, fourth marquis of Salisbury, is the
eldest of u family of seYen-fiye sons
and two daughters. As the son II
heir of the house of Cecil he bore the
title Yiscount Cranborne, which now
goes to his son Robert. He began his
career in politics in 1885, when twenty
four years of age, as member of parlia-
ment for Lancaster, but was retired in
1892. In 1893 he was elected from
Rochester, which constituency he still
represents.
During his career in parliament he
has done nothing to distinguish him
self either for brilliancy or ability as a
statesman. Since 1900 he has been I'M
der secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs. In January, 1902, Lord Gran
borne attracted much attention in this
country and abroad by n statement In
the house of III concerning the
attitude of England toward the United
States prior to the breaking out of the
Spanish war. He said that Immediate
ly before war was declared several
communications were received by the
British government from other powers
suggesting the presentation of a joint
note to President Mckinley. England
agreed, expressing the hope that fur
tier negotiations might lead to a
peaceful settlement, but first took steps
to ascertain If such a note would be
acceptable to the president.
Lord Cranborne added that the Brit
ish government declined to associate
itself with other subsequent proposals
which seemed open to the objection of
putting pressure on the American gov
eminent. He declined to say by what
powers the later proposals were made
or to publish any papers on the sub
ject.

He was shut up in Mafeking with

According to a story that emanated
from Lord Kitchener. Lord Edward de-
serves as much credit as does Baden
Powell for the defense of Mafeking.
Lord Kitchener relates that soon after
reaching South Africa he came across
q well known Dutchman who was fill
ing large contracts for provisioning the
British army, from whom he learned
this incident: Just before b breaking
out of hostilities the contractor re-
ceived instructions to send a certain
quantity of stores to Mafeking. While
shipment was going forward Lord Ed
ward Cecil called on the contractor and
asked for particulars of the stores.
These being supplied, he said:
"Could you send four times as much!"
"Yes, if l had authority" said the
contractor.

send four times as much as you have
orders for, and | will give my note for
the cost of the surplus quantity. If the
government doesn't pay you, l will"
Considering the fact that Lord Ed
wards financial resources were chiefly
represented by his pay as major, an I'M
d%ertaking to pay $15O,000 to 100000
out of his private purse was character
istically daring. The contractor thought
he was safe in dealing with the pre-
mier's son and sent the stores. MAIZE

general stores four times as great In
quantity as the authorities thought
was sufficient. According to Lord
Kitchener's testimony, that is how
