AN OFFER.

Sweet Home, Ark, July 3, 1903.
Governor Longino, Jackson, Miss:
AS you are engaged in hot con-
test with Senator Money for the
United States senate you would not
object, l presume, to legitimate IN
formation which will insure your
triumph.
In 1883 DR.. j. W. Rogers formed
the Pan Electric company and gave
away millions of stock in the money
less corporation to senators and rep
resentatives in congress for the in
fiuence of their names in floating the
worthless stock-worthess because it
was a direct interference With the
Bell Telephone Company,
And Congressman Money was one
who battered the influence Of his
name because CT his official position
for block of Pan-Electric stock. l
gave an authentic account of that
shady transaction IN a book written
by myself in 1887 There was an ex-
haustive congressional investigation
and the evidence Of Mr.. Moneys par
ticipation is contained in the sworn
statements of DR.. J. W. Rogers, the
promoter, who gave the block of
stock to Money, Senator Garland and
others.
Ny attention to this has just been
called by these facts, related i'll my
book, in an order for the book, and q
request that 1 give my authority for
such statement.
My exposure Of Senator Garland 5
connection with the Pan-Electric tel
ephone ended the senator's political
career.
A banker of your state ordered the
book and demanded my authority,
which I give him by letter of thi:
date. Whether or not he is your
political friend he does not state ant
I think it but fair that you be nut il
possess ion of the indisput8ble facts.

affair incidentally was after Gar

CHANGE IN new
YORK CENTRAL
Control Transferred, but the
VanderbiltS Are Still
in 1t.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Control of
the New York Central and direction
of its operation have passed into new
hands, according to information re-
ceiVed from trustworthy sources. Con-
troll has not been Wrested from the
VanderbiltS. There has been no fric-
ton, and the change is along lines ap-
proved by William K. Vanderbilt. The
new control is vested in the combina-
ton known as the Rockefeller-Penn-
sylvania Morgan interests. For a
been operated in harmony with the
Pennsylvania. In fact the Wander
bits are the largest individual own
ers of Pennsylvania stock.
In giving up control, it is announced
there is no surrender of interests in
the properties. The Vanderbilt family
will retain large holdings and voice
in the management, although the re-
sponsibility will be shifted.
There have been reports that there
will be a merger of the New York Cen
trail and the Pennsylvania, and that
the New Haven eventually will be
taken into the combination. This is
declared to be premature of not untrue.
The two properties can be best operat-
ed separately at present. A merger
may come later, but 1t is said that it is
unlikely in the near future. All that is
certain is that the burden of control
is shifted to other hands and that the
So-called Rockefeller Morgan Penn
SylVania combination viii in the fu-
ture operate the New York Central sys-
tenn, acting in accord with the Wander
bilt family, but relieving the Wander
bits of the onerous duties and the ex-
acting details of management.

INVITATION FROM
EMPEROR WILLIAM
Asks That United States Fleet Visit
kiel During Regatta Week.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
Emperor William Of Germany has Civ
en- further striking proof of his desire
to maintain friendly relations with the
United States. In personal cable
gram to President Roosevelt, he has
invited the battle fleet of the United
States In North American waters to
visit Kiel. Germany, during regatta
week in may. 1t is believed that the
invitation had It's birth in the an
nouncement recently made bySecretary
Moody that the battle fleet would go in
May on cruise across the ocean with
Lisbon as its destination.
The emperor's invitation has been a
subject of careful consideration by
the president and his cabinet. Be
fore it came to hand, however, there
is reason to believe that the navy de-
partment had practically decided to
abandon the cruise to Lisbon, be-
cause of publications in regard to the
lessons which would be learned from
it which, it was apprehended, might
create an unpleasant impression in
Portugal. That the Invitation will be
declined was the general impression
after the meeting of the cabinet yes
terday, but the deciination will be
couched in terms which will be in no
wise offensive to thea German emperor
and the German people.

Nal. G. L. Scott Clashes with Senator
CIapp In Washinqton

Maj. G. L. Scott, Indian agent at
Walker, Mimi, in charge of the Leech
Lake Indians, says that the lumbermen
are after him and that he would not be
surprised to feel his scalp lift at any mo-
ment.
1.-THE lumber interests opposed to my
administration of affairs at Leech Lake
are after me- said the major last night.
81 should not be greatly surprised If they
landed me. Since have been in charge
of affairs up there have been minding
I have not been talking very much, but
there have been things doing most of tho
time. 1 have refused to be dictated to by
private interests and it may as well be
said that whether l remain at Walker or
not my plan will be to conduct matters
on the same plan as In the past, so long
as / do remain there
Maj. Scott has just returned from a
twentyday visit to Washington and H.,
speaks by the book. What he knows
about the prospects for the Chippewas has
been learned at first hand. His remarks
above quoted refer to the action of Sena-
tor Nelson In filing, last Friday, at the
White house in behalf Of Senator Clapp,
charges against the agent of having inter
fered with the administration of an act
of congress.
Maj. Scott refused to go into details
on the matter, but he suggested that SEN
ator Clapp was incensed because he had
Insisted on the Indians having fair play.
AT the time of the Pillager trouble in
1898, said the major, 1--WE made all sorts
Of promises to the Indians for the right
ing of their wrongs. / may add that
scarcely any of the agreements entered
into at that time have been kept. 1t has

fully without very much trouble: and right
afterward he pulled 1000 pounds of other
men around the room with a rope.
Another thing he does in public exhibit
tons is to faSten long rope around his
arms and allow as many men as could
catch hold of the ends to try and pull his
arms from their original position. Twenty
men have tried until they were tired out
but they failed to make his biceps relax
bit, although they jerked and dragged
him all over the place.
Any one who attempts to twist Mr.
Travis little finger will run up against the
hardest sort of a proposition. Mr.. Travis
can life a 150-pound dumb-bell with that
digit, and do it without any trouble at all
The strong man is only % years old
but he looks like Hercules. and in a few
years should be able to beat all the big
men in the country at the same of lift
ing
He measures 3S inches around the hips,
has a 29inch waist chest of 40 inches,
neck of 1612 and biceps of Is.
Mr.. Travis is strictly an amateur at the
game, but he spends all of his spare time
getting into shape He is a wonder for
hard work and the way he throws around
the big dumbbells just for pleasure
makes some of the heavier big men turn
green with envy
Last week he won the heavyweight lift
ing championship in his class by several
hundred pounds and did it without half
trying at that.-New York Telegraph.
