LONDON FEARS
WALL STREET
The Telegraph Prints an Article Re.
fecting on the Stability of
American Securities.
Expresses a Hope That British In
vestors Will Place Their
Money at Home.
New York Sun Special Service

:
London, Nov 1S.-Leading papers
do not share the optimistic opinions
i concerning the conditions of American
finance. recently published here from
private sources. The Telegraph,
whose financial columns are noted for
conservatism. SAYS:
No doubt an effort will be made to
keep prices firm in Wall street while
financiers are disposing of blocks Of bonds
in order to furnish the fresh capital Of
which nearly all the companies are in
need, but the immediate outlook is not
bright and it is an unsatisfactory feature
that advices from the other side have re-
Gently become unreliable For some time
what are described as conservative Wall
street firms have beer recommending the
purchase of Pennsylvania shares, yet the
latter have fallen more in proportion than
almost anything else.
Again. wllnln the last day or two, ca
bles were received from usually reliable
sources to the effect that the Anna gamated
Copper company's mines could not pos
slbly be. restarted for six months 2et
they have already been reopened. Some
comment. was caused by the telegraphio
announcement that Morgan & Co. had
taken the whole issue Of $50 .0O0, 900 Lake
Shore bonds which are seeking a. home,
and that a large block was going abroad.
Inasmuch as many other American rail-
road companies are known to be endeav-
oring to raise fresh capital and in view of
the scarcity of money from which we are
suffering and the needs of our own rail-
ways, it is to be hoped that the financial
houses in this country will not make too
ready response to American blandish-
ments.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-M. PHILIPPE
at large as minister plenipotentiary

In performing this agreeable duty al

bond which at It's origin was meant to be

$3.50 100000 sinking fund bond issue
turned into the treasury of the steel
corporation instead of into the private
Golfers of Morgan & Co. and the firms
associated with them in the syndicate.
The man who contemplates bringing
the suit is the owner of nearly $500, 900
Of the common stock, which he bought
at about four times its present market
value. He conferred with a large firm
of corporation lawyers to-day and
they purpose looking into the matter
from. all view points before deciding
upon the plan of action and drawing
up the formal papers. It will be a
week or more before a copy of the
complaint will be served upon the
defendants.
In a general way the complaint will
allege that the conversion of the pre-
lferred stock into the per cent bonds,
as 1T is now being conducted by the
Morgan syndicate, is a great injustice
to the stockhold ers of the steel corpora
ton and that the immense profits
which the syndicate is making right
fully belong to the corporation.
It will be contended that Morgan &
Co., because OF It's many unusual con-
nectlons with the steel corpora ton, is
in certain respects part of the corpora
t1on ana has. no right to the enjoyment
OF the bond conversion profits to the
exclusion of the corporation.
The legality of the contract made
with Morgan & Co. by the finance com.
mlttee OF the steel corporation will, il
IS said, be attacked. 1t will be
charged. according to the present plan
money-making privileges to the: Nor.

should have been reserved for f1,f

Two Tots Secure a Pardon for Their

Special to The Journal
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 18.--Hazel
Wiley, aged 10, who has been cir
culating petitions in Des Moines for
the purpose of getting her father out
of the Fort Madison penitentiary, was
to-day rewarded for her efforts by
Governor Cummins. The governor
granted the pardon.
Hazel. and Dan. her younger brother,
went to the statehouse and were wait
ing for the governor when he arrived.
They presented the petition, stating
that their mother was sick in bed with
governor had seen the accounts in the
newspapers describing the valiant
work which Hazel has been doing for
her father, and had investigated the
case. Little Dan lisped that his birth
day came tomorrow and he hoped his
papa could come home to help cele-
brate the event. Hazel asked that the
governor send papa for Thanksgiving
even if he couldn't make it by Dams
birthday.
The governors face was covered
with tears when the little tots left the
statehouse. He told the children that
the case would be looked UP at once
and he would make some kind of a
recommendation. This afternoon
Governor Cummins sent the following

can probably stand it. Tawney, it
will be remembered, led the fight
which the house so successfully made
last spring against the senate's en-
croachnents, and which resulted in
the Cuban treaty being so framed as
to require ratification by the house.
This fight probably did more for
Tawney, so far as congressional pres
tige is concerned, than anything that
has. happened for several years. and
naturally he has cut quite a figure
during the present session.
The president, when congress was
about to convene, invited Payne, Dali
zell and TaWney to dine with him SO
that he might confer with them re-
garding the Cuban situation. Gros-
venor who outranked sTawney, being
a member of the committee on rules,
was net invited.
Grosvenor Snubbed.
Later when it became necessary for
the president to confer with men from
each house regarding Cuban matters
he again invited Tawney, Payne and
Dalzell from the house side to meet
| Spooner, Allison Aldrich and Platt of
I.Connecticut of the senate side. Gros-
venor was again left out. The result
has been that Grosvenor is piping hot,

said, had anything to do with the

statement:
In view of what has transpired in

The charge that had accepted, directly

Hastings, Neb., is absolutely false.
I shall waive the protection afforded a
senator by the constitution while congress
is In session, and shall go to Nebraska
and insist upon an immediate trial. with
perfect confidence that my innocence will
be established. At no time in my life
has there been any desire to shield those
who have been guilty of wrongdoing.

CLEVER WITH WIRES
A Minneapolis Girl Proves Herself
Diplomat at Chicago
University.
She Plays at Varsity Politics and
High Social Honor. Is Ac-
corded Her.

Leadership Of the german junior prom
enade, the social event of the spring
quarter at the University of Chicago, has
fallen to Minneapolis girl Edith Marian
Williams, daughter of Frederick O. Will
liams of the Franklin Heights. Miss Will
l1ams is we'll known socially. She was
a member of the Central high class of
'O2, and attended the first semester at the
University of Minnesota. Julien L. Brode,
chairman of the promenade committee,
chose Miss Williams from the hosts of
eligible young women at the university.
Brode is a Memphis man and Phi Kappa
PSI. Miss Williams is a member of the
Wyvern club.
The Chicago American says: "When a
dozen fraternity men played politics for
day to control the election of the council
for Division III. of the Junior college last
April and succeeded in electing Miss Edith
Williams over a big field of popular fell
lows, they not only showed gallantry but
planned for the future With Miss WIZ
liams on the council they knew that one
OF their fraters was sure to have an ar
dent supporter for the leader Of the big
Junior promenade. Nor did they reckon
aniss.
Miss Williams, who, by the way, is
classed as the most beautiful as we'll as
the most popular girl In the varsity, set
to work at once to show the fraternity
fellows that she was even better politi-
clan than they.
Enough that when the council met re-
