are gathered at Palm Beach and con

unknown outside of a few brokerage

TO be as heavy a speculator as Gates
himself He is the mysterious un-
known plunger whose tremendous sell
ing of Union Pacific contributed to the
big slum in that stock. He was short
at one time over 100000 shares OF
Union Pacific. His method Of trad
ing led men to think that the selling
was for account Of Mr. Keene. The
two are friends and 1t is not impossible
that they are operating on joint ac-

II would be too harsh term TO
charge the banking interests with hav

decline has met with the approval OF
many powerful combinations Of capi-

port OF prices has heretofore been a

out protection against the attacks OF
the bears who took advantage OF the
circumstance to raid everything in

from the start down to date by Mr..
James r. Keene. who for the preced-
ing two years was the acknowledged
bull leader and the personal repre-
sentative Of Mr.. Morgan in the manip.
ulation OF steel stocks and other Sc
curities bearing the Morgan brand.
Mr.. Keene turned bear last fall, al
though his altered position was con
cealed for a long time. He is not
thought to be a believer in continued
low prices as his permanent and
larger interests are now the other way.
He is an immense holder of high class
stocks aud he is understood to be the
heaviest individual owner OF South
ern Pacific shares The feature
which Influenced him 10 become a
bear leader temporarily was the dis
solution OF number of underwriting
syndicates and the throwing Of large
blocks of stocks and bonds on the
market by disappointing members Of
such syndicates. Thus unloading came

temptation to attack the market was
therefore very strong and Mr.. Keene
was unable to withstand II.

Wall street has been re-assured by
the statements Of Secretary Shaw that
he will not permit the unnecessary ac-
cumulation of idle money in the Fed
eral treasury 1t is entirely within his
power to begin now to protect the
business interests against a possible
stringency six or eight months hence.
He has authority to deposit In national
banks the receipts from internal
revenue After such collections are
once deposited in the treasury they
cannot be withdrawn. but he can,
without doing violence to his duties,
hold such collections until the inter
ests of the country can be served by
making them available for commercial
purposes He has not said flat-footed
that he will do this, but there is good
reason to believe that he will take
measures TO guard against a period
of painful stringency, such as was ex-
perienced last fall. and which did in
calculable damage He can also EN-.
ploy government money to buy

win engage in this to any extent. In

have to be made for the payment of

The opening fight between Mr..
Keene md Mr Hartman over the
question of dividends of Southern Pa
clhc stock has been one of the dis
quieting factors in the market. It is
always an alarming event when the
giants OF the market fall out, and II
was practically so this time because
OF the prevailing nervousness. Mr..
Keene Is admittedly the most adroit
manipulation and leader in the stock
market and his position must be al
ways taken into consideration. A year
ago he organized the stupendous pool
in Southern Pacific which Is to be
dissolved on the first OF April next.
The holding of Mr.. Keene and his
friends in that property have been as
high as 100000 shares $4,000, ,000)
and they are at least half that now.
it is understood. They went into the
stock in the belief that a part of the
earnings would be distributed among
tue stockholders IN the form OF diVi-
dends. They We're disappointed in this
respect, for It has been the Hartman
policy to put Southern Pacific earn
ipgs back into the railroad. During
the last two years $25. .OOO, 900 nas been
expended In betterments and II is the
Hartman plan TO spend at least $685.
100000 more in perfecting the system.
Mr.. Keene and his friends contend
that the Improvements should be
charged TO capital account and the
stockholders be given either bonds or
stock to represent the outlay. Mr..
Hartman has taken decided stand
against any such position, although at
one time he was supposed to have ac-
quiesced. Back Of the contention is

Real Sea Serpen:s Caught.

Two sea serpents, a male and a fe-
male, one 48 feet long and the other
80 feet, were killed recently by fisher
men off the japanese coast, according
to information brought to this coun,
try by the steamship Empress Of In
dia. The bodies were sem to Osaka,
where they were placed on exhibition,
In the carcass of one of the serpents
were found the remains of a human be-
ing. The fishermen had O long, des-
perate fight with the serpents, and
several nearly lest their lives, but fin
ally dragged them to the shore in their
nets, in which they had become en-
tangled. They beloved with rage and
finally were killed by many rifle shots.
The Snowman who bought the car
cases proposes to take them to Toxic
for the inspection of the emperor, who
has expressed a desire to see them.
On the heads of each serpent were
%forty-four fangs, the longest of which
was seven inches. They also had ears
about two feet long and a horn on the
forehead.
