Hyde Says He Intends to Keep His Equitable
 Stock.

New York, June 9.-A conference has been held, says the World, lasting until an early hour this morning. at which negotiations for the purchase of the stock control of the Equitable Life Assurance society owned by James H Hyde. were made by George J. Gould on behalf of syndicate of financiers and business men.
 When the conference ended" the World asserts, satisfactory progress had been made. and it is expected that the sale of Mir Hyde's stock will be ratified before the meeting of the Equitable directors. which will take place at p. n. today.
 The greatest secrecy concerning the conference was maintained. It began early in the night in the home of one of Mir Hyde's lawyers. and from there the conferees went to another place.
 "Mr Hyde. attended by his lawyers Samuel Untermyer. Elihu Root and William c .Gulliyer. was present.
 ''The price offered. was sun said to be in excess of S4.0O0. 600. and less than S5.OOO,OO0 for the J02 shares which have par value of $50, 200. and which were valued at the time of Henry B. Hyde's death for the pur- pose of fixing the state inheritance tax at S2JO share. or S12500
 "Mr Hyde is said to have expressed willingness to sell on certain con ditions. These included:
 "First-That the stock should be trusteed by the new owners and voted so that the policy holders should elect twenfy-eight directors and the stock holders twenty-four directors.
 ''Second-That he should be given his own lime to retire as director of the Equitable. but that if the new owners so decided. he would surrender the office of first vice-president.
 ''Third-That neither E. H. Harri- man nor Henry C. Prick should have and direct or indirect connection with the purchase of the stock
 MT Hyde is said to have remarked in connection with the last stipulation that rather than allow one of the men named to obtain control he would make a bonfire of his stock
 "Who is behind MT Gould in the re- ported negotiations could not be learn cd. It is believed that he is merely acting in the matter as an intermedi- ary for others because of his friend ship and influence with Mir Hyde"

Threatened With a Change From the Bakeshops ts the Stone Quarries if They Do Not Ease Up.

New York, June 9.-Considerable merriment has been caused by strike of paupers in a county almshouse just outside Jersey City.

 The delegate explained to the com. mitteemen that the bakers were enti- tied to pay. because. unlike many other paupers. they do not desert the insti- tuition during the summer months to recuperate at the seashore and in the mountains, but remain at their duties in the bakeshops and work faithfully for the county. The committee reject ed the demands and informed the strikers that they would be put to work in the stone quarries if they do not return to work i'll the bakeshop.
