SULIY'S PARTNER.

Daniel }. Says 1t Was Mr.. Hawlcy.
and That He Refused to Put Up.
New York, March 28.-Daniel J..
Sully, the former cotton bull leader
has given out statement as to the
causes of suspension of his firm, which
brought ont some strenuous denials
and explanations from prominent Wall
street men.
He stated that Edwin Hawley, the
railroad magnate, and Mr.. Ray were
his partners in his last great cotton
pool, and he further declared that it
was upon Mr.. Hawley's refusal to
make $500, 900 loan to support the
pool that caused the Snlly failure
In a public statement Hawley repu-
dates all of Mr.. Sully's statements
and asserts that his relations with Mr.
Sully We're only those of borker and
customer.
Mr.. Sully will bring suit against
Mr.. Hawley to recover what is alleged
to be Mr.. Hawley's proper proportion
of the losses.

Hartman Opposes Hilrs Plan of
Distribution.
New York, March 2S.-The Harri.
mankuhn-Loeb party will demand
that the assets of the Northern Securi-
ties Company be sold at auction under
the jurisdiction of the United States
circuit court in st. Paul. This de-
mand confirms the report that relations
between the Hartman Kunh- Loeb par
ty and the Hill-Morgan property have
become strained. 1t may be said on
the very highest authority that the
Union Pacific interests have objected
most strongly to the distribution of as
sets as announced under J. J. Hills
circular of Tuesday last. The Union
Pacific people will demand return of
Northern Pacific stock in exchange for
their Northern Securities holdings, and
i'll the event this demand is not COM
piled with, it is altogether probable
that the whole matter will go into the
courts for adjudication.
Under the distribution the Oregon
Short Line would receive back only
x32 ,673,772 in Northern Pacific stock
Since the control of the Northern Pa
cific is at stake, Mr.. Hartman holds
that the Union Pacific is entitled to
get back exactly what it put in.

TO COME TO SOUND
UNION PACIFIC TRAINS TO RUN
TO SEATTLE.
Announcement of Traffic Arrange.
ments will Probably BE Made
Within Week---Changes in
Northern Pacific Management
Make Arrangement Possible.

Portland March s.-According to
information received at the offices Of
the Southern Pacific Company in Port
laand the coming of Transportation Di-
rector Kruttschmitt and Traffic Direct.
or Stubbs, of the Hartman system, to
this city this week will no doubt bring
the announcement of the arrangement
for operation of trains into Puget Sound
cities from Portland, whereby the Har-
riman lines will have connection with
the business originating in that terri
tory on an equal basis with the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific at Port
land. Portland will be the breaking
up point for all trains just as hereto
fore, but through cars from San Fran
cisco and also from the Missouri river
and Chicago, will be carried on the
trains made up here for the Sound
business. 1t is possible that through
express cars will be operated from one
OF the lines, thereby saving the neces-
sity OF making transfer of express mat
ter destined for further destination.
Traffic Arrangements Promised.
Upon the occasion of his visit to the
Northwest in December f. H Harri-
man proclaimed to the people of the
Sound cities that trains on the lines
which he controls would be operated
to these points before great while.
This reported placing into effect of the
new operating and traffic arrangements
would he but fulfillment of that
promise. 1t was then implied that it
mattered little to him whether the
trains We're to be operated over his own
tracks or the line of existing roads
Reports of recent changes i'll control Of
the Northern Pacific indicate that any
traffic arrangements desirable to Mr.
Hartman are made possible. 1t is ex-
pected that all of the changes sched-
uled to take place will become effective
about the first of the month.
