p. III. HAWLEY DID IT
How Wisconsin Central Stocks Were
Pushed Up.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Jan. 19.-The rumors
connecting Pere Marquette with the
advance in Wisconsin Central stocks
are absolutely groundless. There are
no negotiations pending or consum-
mated between the roads. There have
been no negotiations of any kind look
ing to the sale of Wisconsin Central
to either Grand Trunk, Pere Mar
quette, Great Northern or Erie. The
entire collection of interesting ru-
mors current last week arose out Of
the simple fact that Ed H. Hawley
saw fit to mark UP the stocks Of
wisconsin Central. He did 1t with the
usual brass band accompaniment. II
anyone is buying wisconsin Central
he is doing 1t in the market, and the
present control knows nothing of it.

EXPECTS SETTLERS TO BUY
Canadian Pacific Looks for Big Sale

Canadian Pacific Looks for Big Sale
of Lands. 49,
E. F. Griffin, manager Of the legal
department. Of the Canadian Pacific,
has something Ito say regarding the
remarkable settlement pf sthe great
wheat belt Of that scShuhtry. He is
quoted by the Wall Street Journal i. as
follows:
while the company does not expect
to sell sass many acres this year as it
has during some other seasons, it does
expect to make more sales to actual
settlers than ever before. These set
tiers will come largely from the
United States, altho a big .immigra-
ton will also arrive from Europe. We
are not making any effort to sell land
in large tracts.
Large sales will also, mo doubt,
be made to settlers who have taken
up Manitoba or North West Territories
homesteads during the past few years.
These men have come to the con-
clusion that they need more than the
homestead allotment of 160 acres and
will make the purchase now while
land is still cheap. Even in the Cali
can settlements sales are quite active,
many Of the colonists adding an ad-
ditional quarter-section or more to
their homesteads.
"The average price Of Canadian Pa
cific railway land is now between SIS
and Sc an acre. Two years ago this
| land could almost uniformly be pur-
chased for SO per acre, and it is not
unreasonable to suppose that any good
agricultural land within reasonable
distance Of a. railway will within two
or three years be worth $40 an acre
which is now practically the maxi
mum price of the railway lands
cat the present time the undis-
! posed of lands of the Canadian Pa
cific railway amount to about 10000
900 acres, Of which $4,000 are sit
uated in Manitoba"

AS LIKELY AS A. VENUs-To-NooN

That Is the Way an interested Party
Puts It-Why the Story Is Taken
as Fiction No Move by Hartman
to Consolidate His Big Interests.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. ri
New York, Jan. 19.-The report sent
! out from Omaha to the effect that J.
J. Hill and r. III. Hartman are going
to consolidate their systems is about
| the most ridiculous canard that has
been fioated on the public for Aong
time. The story as circulated on Wall
street ran that the general managers
Of Illinois Central, Burlington and
Union Pacific had been called to New
i York to confer with Messrs. Hartman
and Hill concerning a plan to con
solidate the Northern Securities lines
| and the Hartman lines" One enter
| prising reporter had the nerve to send
i this story to one Of the parties in
interest. He received this reply:
There Is nothing In it. II you VIII go
and call on Mr.. Hill, however, he may give
you an outline of our plan to construct and
operate trolley line between Venus and
! the moon"
The story bore on it's face it's refuta-
ton. # Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Hartman
| were about to consolidate the $4,000
miles of railroad they control they
ers to talk about it. They would call
| in the brokers of Wall street and give
orders to buy all the Union, Southern
and Northern stocks that were to be
! picked up in the Wall street market
and never to mind the price. If any
|
! ticker will tell the story long before
| Omaha is awake to the fact that any
thing is going on.
Even the story as modified, namely,
that 3. H. Hartman will consolidate
his roads into one system, is not true.
j The advantages Of such consolidation
are not in Sight even if the law al
lowed it. The law, by the way, does
not allow Of the actual consolidation
/ of Union and Southern Pacific,
and Mr.. Hartman is careful
to see that an actual majority of
the stock of Southern Pacific is not in
the treasury Of Union Pacific.
] The Harriman-Hill arrangement in
the far northwest has been thoroly
misunderstood in all quarters. It was
announced here that when Mr. Har-
riman wanted a right of way into Seat
tie he could get it.. TWAS further an
nounced that the executive committee
Of Union Pacific had not decided upon
the request or what form it would take
and that the executive committee of
Northern Pacific had no intention Of
acting until asked to act. That is the
status to-day. In the meantime Port
land and Seattle have both completed
all arrangements, even to the rates,
4 and there seems little left for the. exec
utive committees to do: At any rate
it may be taken as a dead certainty
that they will not. do anything until
the Northern Securities muddle is
cleared away.

FROM THE PEOHiBS.
The National Platform Strong and to
The Point.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 30.-Chair-
man Wetfenbarger convened the
Prohibition national convention at
$50 today. The platform depre-
ciates the lack of craftsmanship
among the leaders of the democratic
and republican parties in refusing to
recognize the paramount Importance
of the liquor questions; denounces all
methods of dealing with the liquor
traffic which recognizes its rights to
exist; and covers every feature of the
question in six other planks. The
platform advocates the safe guarding
of the rights of the people when
threatened by combin ations of capital
or labor; favors the initiative and
referendum; the arbitration of inter-
national difficulties; reform of the di-
vorce laws; extripation of polygamy,
and suppression of the social evil.

Evidence Being Taken Today. Prosecutor
States His Case

Kansas City, Mo-, June 36.-Tak-
ing evidence was started today in the
trial of Edward Bailey, Union hack
driver, charged with the murder of
Albert Ferguson, a non-union driver.
The prosecuting attorney stated that
he would attempt to prove that Bailey
and two comrads, Forsha and Moon,
using Mrs. Gertrude Briggs as a de-
coy, engaged Ferguson to drive them
to lonely spot, and there began
slugging him, terminating in Bailey
firing the fatal shot. Earlier on the
same night, the prosecutor said, these
same people brutally slugged another
non-union hack driver, Andrew
Meyer, leaving him for dead.

ANTICIPATE EVACUATION.
After the Fall of Port Arthur, Kuropatkin
Will Be Asked to Surrender.

Toxic, June 30.-The Council of
Ministers met here today, the Mikado

been decided by the ministers that,
after the fall of Port Arthur and the
inevitable evacuation of the Lao
Tung peninsula by the Russians,
Field Marshal Oyama should address
an ultimatum to General Kuropatkin
asking him to surrender and avoid
furthur bloodshed. A copy of this
ultimatum is to be sent to all the
powers. Should Kuropatkin refuse
to accede to this demand, the Japa-
nese anticipate they will be able, ow-
ing to the position of their forces, to
annihilate Kuropatkin and his forces.

Q ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 30.-Charles
Gutke, confessed 'boodler, was sur
rendered today by Edward Butler
the millionaire. politician who was
Gutke's security. There is reason to
believe that Gutke's confession has
implicated Butler o again. Charles
Kelly, another alleged boodler, will
also be locked up, as Buffers son and
John Oberen his bondsmen, have
surrendered him. The police say
that both Gutke and Kelly are in
danger of assassination. Butler is
stated will withdraw from all the
boodlers' bonds.
An Indictment has been later re-
turnedDby the grand jury against
Edward Butler. The charge is of
compounding eafelony and being an
accessory after the fact to bribery
committed by Charles Kelly at the
home of Julius lehman, where forty
thousand five. hundred dollars was
split among nineteen of the combine
members. Butler was recently ac-
Quilted of being the. an who furnish
