WILL SULLY COME TO
THE FRONT AGAIN?

Litigation i'm Which He Is Involved
Will Keep His Name Before the
Public.
New York, April 16.-The MANY law
suits following the refusal of D. j.
Sully's creditors to accept his terms of
settlement will keep his name before
the public for some time to come.
Whether he can ever resume the
place which he so audaciously seized,
after forty years Of commonplace ex-
istence, year or two ago is a matter
for conjecture only. Some of his
friends believe he will be able to do
so; others in the world of finance are
sceptical.
On the day of his failure Mr.. Sully
was undoubtedly the calmest of all
the men in New York then interested
in cotton. He remained at his office
and showed no special signs of per-
turbation. His clerks were apprehen-
sive OF trouble when they arrived in
the morning, but he spoke of the sit
uation in a matter of course way,
which treasured them completely.
He admitted that the market look
ed bad. and that the problem before
him was difficult. but that he antici-
pated any disaster could not possibly
be OWNED from anything that he said
or did. Thus it happened when the
storm broke that his own men were
the last in the financial district to hear
anything about it.
They, however, had absorbed some
thing of the spirit of Sully's own sto-
icism. and they were, therefore, able
to dissemble beautifully, concealing all
signs of suspense. or even chagrin;

A. j. Davis, n RectifyinE Gauger,
Convicted mt Greensboro.

Raleigh. N. c., April 16.-In the
federal court at Greensboro, N. c.. a.
]. Davis, a rectifying gauger, was con-
victed Of false returns, whereby the
government was defrauded out of $780,
900 in less than four months.
Davis, it was alleged, acted for a
company with headquarters at Milton,
this state, and branch wholesale es-
adjustments in Kentucky, Oklahoma,
Illinois, Texas, and Minnesota. The
alleged fraud was carried on by Jug
Cling with wholesale dealers stamps,
in reporting a low proof, while a very
high proof quality of goods was shipped.
District Attorney Cotton said that as
several other parties are indicted for
completely in the alleged frauds and
will be tried on the resumption of the
criminal docket in April, he would not
pres for sentence on Davis now. The
revenue department at Washington

CHANDLER GOES TO JAPAN.
Naval Department Well Pleased
with His Performances.

Washington, April 16.-Rear Admiral
Cooper, commanding the Asiatic fleet,
cabled the Navy Department
from Cavite that Lieut.. Chandler, COM
manding the torpedo boat flotilla, which
arrived at that port yesterday after a
run of about $1,000 miles, from Hamp-
ton Roads, reports fiotilla ready for
service"
The Secretary of the Navy has de-
cided to compliment Lieut.. Chandler
for his highly creditable management
of the torpedo boat fiotilla, as that
officer has practically completed his
regular tour of sea duty, and he will
be detached from command of the
flotilla and ordered to proceed to Japan
for the purpose of making such in
vestigations as the Japanese govern
ment will permit with regard to the
Japanese destroyers and other torpedo
craft, including their construction and
methods of operation.

RECIPROCITY D0WNED
BY THE REPUBLICANS.
Lodge Carried the Massachusetts
Convention His Way.


Boston. April 16.-Canadian reciproc-
ity and Eugene Foss. its foremost
champion in this section of New Eng
land, were decislvely defeated
in the Republican state convention,
called to elect four large
to the Republican national convention
at Chicago. Mr.. Foss who, before the
convention, had announced his inten-
ton of offering a reciprocity resolution
and of contestinR as a candidate for
delegate at large on this issue, carried
out his plan. His resolution was over
whelmingly voted down, and he was
rejected as a delegate by vote OF 17S
to 1,161 for his nearest contestant.
At a time when. to all appearances,
a considerable sentiment in the con-
vention was with Mr.. Foss, Senator
Lodge took the platform, and by an
eloquent address stemmed the tide and
carried the delegates with him.
The following delegates at large were
chosen: Ex-Gov. w. Murray Crane,
Senator Lodge, ex-Gov. John d. Long,
Col. e. C.. Benton.
The platform indorses Roosevelt, and
says Massachusetts will give him her
support, not only in the national con-
vention. but in the election 1t in

tective principle, demands a free and

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN STRENUOUS WALL STREET
The Observation-Disclosures Alliance Is Still
the Talk.
BY M. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, April 16.-There have
bean those in Wall street who have be-
usyea right along that it was the
standard Hartman purpose to
force the liquidation of Northern Sc
cyrities assets through a receivership
and gobble up the properties in dis
mite. This theory was strengthened
bv the renewal of the Rockefeller Har-
r,n,an alliance through the wholesale
rnrchase of Union Pacific stock by the
Standard Oil interests.
theory that the dispute between Hill
and Hartman over the participation of
assets was a pretense. and that there
was in reality a friendly understand
ing The many interviews given out
bv Mr.. Hill tended to disturb faith in
this latter theory, however. Mr.. Hill
gave many evidences that he was hurt,
and those who knew him best could not
reconcile his lamentations and cutlery
against Hartman with professions of
harmony.
Mir Harriman's attempted interview
ton was construed by not a few shreWd
lawyers of the corporation class as a
part Of q merciless Standard Oil plan

CHURCH INTERCEPTED
FOR JEWS OF RUSSIA.

st. Petersburg, April 16.-It has just
developed that the powerful influence
of the church was used in Bessarabia
to prevent trouble between Christians
and Jews. For the first time, so far
as known, the church stepped in to
avert another Kishineff affair.
Before Easter the Governor of Bes-
sarabia, Prince Ourosoff. called the
attention of Bishop Yakoff of xishineff,
to the malicious reports spread among
the people that the Jews were collect
ing and sending money to aid Japan.
The Governor declared the rumors to
be absurd. The Bishop Immediately
instructed all the priests of his diocese
to explain on every convenient occa-
sion the loyalty and patriotism OF the
Jews, and to point out that reports to
the contrary were false.
In st. Petersburg this order is re-
garded as an extraordinary precedent,
which is bound to influence the future
relations of Christians and Jews.

in his conversation, and casually ex-
pressed the opinion that within the
next two or three years the house CT
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of which Mr.. Schiff
is the presiding genius, would be the
premier banking house of America.
Mr.. Keene keyed his voice up to
even a higher pitch than usual, and
petulantly remarked: What the devil
do care who is going to be premier
banker of New York. 1t won't be a
dollar in your pocket or mine whether
Morgan or Jake" Schiff or Stillman is
the premier banker now or two years
from now, or five years from now.
What we want to know is how we can
make n present dollar. l would give
more money to know two minutes
ahead what that ticker is going to say
than l would to know the future Of all
the bankers in New York. 1t is the
immediate dollar that interests me.
Tell me how to make a dollar and you
engage me in a second. Speculate on
the future OF any banker or banking
house or clique of bankers, and 1 am
mighty likely to go to sleep"
Mr.. Keene is not the only man in
Wall street to whom the current story
of the tape possesses vastly more liv-
ing interest that academic speculation
or forecasts about the prominence Of
individuals in their contests for SUI
premacy.

Wall Street BuIIish.

The great bulk of literature which
has been going out of Wall street for
the last two weeks or more has been
distinctly bullish in tone. Commission
houses which have for many months
maintained a -committal position
and have discouraged clients from trad
ing are advising action. The underly-
ing reason for this is the cheapness of
money and the opportunity afforded
for a scalp on capital employed in car
rying securities bought on margins.
Manifestly this scalp cannot be cor
rallied unless customers are in the mar
ket, hence the anxiety to enlist the
public once more in stocks.
Banks are giving Wall street a de-
cided preference in loans. They are
offering immense amounts on call as
low as IA per cent, and giving brokers
and stock houses all the time money
they want at 81 to 4 per cent, the
contracts to extend into another calen-
dar year. Bankers are. for the time
being, literally grooming under the load
of idle funds. Railroad and other cor
porations have borrowed heavily on
notes covering a period of one and two
years. Much of this money is to carry
on Improvements planned some time
ago. The funds are left on deposit in
banks and drawn upon as required
Other sums have been borrowed by
corporations 10 reimburse their treaSur-
les for advances made on improve
ments, equipment and new properties
bought, the transa action being merely
temporary and in anticipation of bond
sales. If the plans of the big people
do not miscarry these temporary loans
will be taken up by money realized
from the sale of bonds when better
prices can be obtained for mortgage
securities.
Incidentally the bond market is I'M
dergoing marked Improvement There
has been no radical advance in the
prices of the goods. but an increased
inquiry is discernible. Many banks
and bond houses report a larger ag-
gregate of counter sales to tniscellan-
eous investors of every class. This
condition encourages railroads having
bond issues in prospect to believe that
before the year is over they will have
disposed of their new issues to advan-
tage.

Standard Oil Tips.

Those enjoying confidential relations
with bankers identified with the Stand
ard Oil interests report the receipt
from that quarter of very bullish tips
on the market. According to these
eminent financial authorities the gen
eral situation is improving. Advice is
offered very freely to get into stocks
and to invest in low priced bonds. This
sort of talk is in striking contrast to
that which has been INDUCED in by the
Standard Oil mouth-pieces for the last
two years or more, prior to thirty days
ago. The Rockefeller crowd is clearly
in a position now to work and talk
for an advance. The Rock Island is

Morgan-Hin Resources.

The resources of the Morgan-Hin
combination are supposed to be large.
Matched against those of the Stand
ard Oil-Harriman alliance, however,
they would, beyond a doubt, prove
the smaller.
The possibility of a receivership for
the North Securities Company was dis
cussed at first in Wall street with
hated breath The idea was so start
ling that few cared to talk of it above
a whisper although as a matter of
fact it should not be particularly dis
turbing to the general market. Out
side of the interests of those imme-
diately concerned, the people of the
Northwest and West and for that mat
ter the whole country, would be easily
reconciled to whatever i'll luck might
befall the multi-millionaires in a quar-
rel amongst themselves over the par
ution of the transportation companies.
Mr.. Hill has been on record as saying
that if Hartman won his suit he
would sell out his interests in the
Northwest and leave the people of that
section to get on as best they could.
By inference Mr.. Hill would convey
the impression that but for him the
Northwestern population would be in
desperate state, and that deprived
Of his benevolent guardianship they
might be eternally ruined. The peo-
pie themselves are not unanimous in
agreeing with Mr.. Hill in his esti-
mate of his own Importance or of their
lost condition, should Providence re-
move him from the office of transpor-
tation overload. Mr.. Hill has never
been backward in claiming credit for
the development of the Northwest, and
honestly believes that he is more re-
sponsible for it than any other hui
man agency. His career has certainly
been marvellous, and in the construc-
ton and management of tens of thou
sands Of miles of railroads he has done
great work. If there had been no

probably have done the business as
