NAGASAKI, Jan. 1.-THE French
steamer Australien sailed tonight with
Gen. and Madame Stoessel and 565 Rus
slams from Port Arthur, including Ad-
mirals Gregorivitch and Lochinsky and
Generals Gorbatowsky and Reiss and
245 other officers, some of whom were
accompanied by their wives.

precaution against the Russians OBJ
tanning knowledge of the defenses, and
then she was piloted out by Japanese
naval officers.
During their stay at Nagasaki the
Russian officers bought curios valued
at over $4,000 in gold. The officers
seemed to have ample money, but it is
said that the men have not received
pay for many months.

Cochran Scores Jurist
Mr.. Cochran mentioned the charges
of non-residence as grave one and re-
ferred to the letter of Judge Pardee
which had been read to the house early
in the day at the instance of Mr.. Gros-
venor.
"I did not believe it conceivable that
a judge would undertake to control the
action of an Independent body ON a pro-
oeeding itself judicial. Now, think of
it, the monstrous spectacle of a judge,
himself a member of a department
which we are now scrutinizing, step
ping into this house with an attempt to
control our action. When / state that,
1 describe spectacle which ought to
make us pause; which indicates in
marked degree a decay of our consti-
tutional system.
"Sir, suppose when the case of Sena-
tor Burton was pending in the supreme
court of the United States that the
senate had passed resolution declar-
ing that Senator Burton was a model of
virtue and senatorial courtesy and that
his prosecution was an act of indefen-
sible hostility on the part of some gov
ernment department. Would not
thrill of horror have run through the
entire country?-. Yet how would such
action by the senate differ from this
action of this Judge attempting to con-
troll this, the grand inquest of the ma
ton, in dealing with member of that
judiciary?"
"And we have another judge" con-
tinued Mr.. Cochran, with superior
claim to enlighten our conscience,
quoted by the gentleman from Ohio as
a man before whom We should all bend,
coming in here and. sir, 1 say ic with
here with perjured lips and asks us to
share his perjury and his disloyalty
"a Republican Legislature should not
impeach a Republican. What tribute
he pays to the gentlemen on the other
side. Are we to divert from a con-
scientious discharge of our duty a
man who, clothed in the ermine of a
judge. turns that robe into costume
of a harlequin and, dancing across this
floor invites us to perjure ourselves
and violate the constitutions"
Mr.. Crumpacker of Indiana. in de-
fense of Judge Swayne. charged that
the whole proceeding was political in
its nature.
Mr.. Lamar of Florida repelled the
charge contained in the Pardee letter
that the state of Florida had political
grievance against Judge Swayne, The
Pardee letter injected the political is
sue into the case. Outside of this he
knew the state of Florida had good
case against Judge Swayne.

CANNOT FORCE STEEL
TRUST TO PAY DIVIDENDS
Corporation Is Winner in an Action
Brought by Alfred r.
Stevens
By Associated Press.


TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 17.-Vice
Chancellor Stevenson today filed an
opinion sustaining the demurrer of the
United States Steel corporation in the
suit brought against that company by
Alfred r. Stevens to compel the pay
ment of dividends on the companys
common stock. The decision practically
disposes of the whole case. Stevens
filed a bill to enforce the payment of
dividends on the common stock out of
alleged accumulation of profits amount
ing, in January, 1904, to $66,OO0,0OO.
Stevens claims that the company was
obliged, under the statutes, to use this
on the common stock.
In sustaining the demurrer Vice
Chancellor Stevenson says that, while
66,000000 is large amount in itself
it is only per cent of the company's
capital stock, and there is no proof to
in actual cash. 1t might have been
invested, he says, in material and there
is nothing to indicate a policy on the
part of the corporation to favor the
interest of it's preferred stockholders
to the detrment Of common stock
holders. More than this, he says, Mr..
Stevens bill does not allege a single
fact which shows the retention of these
accumulated profits was not justified
by the requirements of the business
operations of the company.
The sustaining of the demurrer is
equivalent to dismissal of Mr.. Stew
ems bills.

WHY vANDERB|LTS
ARE To RETIRE
NEW YORK PAPER OFFERS AN
EXPLANATION OF MOVE
Deal Resulting in Change Of Manage
n1ent of New York Central Is
Brought About by Sem
ator Depew

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-In an article
headed "why vanderbits Will Re-
tire" the New York Inquirer endeavors
to tell the inside story of the sale of
New York Central lines to the Harri-
man interests" and to account for the
detection of Governor Odell to the sup
port of Depew. The story is rather
sensational and reads as follows
A seat in the United States senate
was the "jolxer" in the deal between
E. II. Hartman and William Rookie
Teller on the one side and w. K.
Vanderbilt on the other, involving a
change in the management of New
York Central. Within very short
time w. X. Vanderbilt will retire
with honors' from the dictatorship of
the Central railroad and Senator
Chauncey M. Depew from the chair
manship of the board, giving way TO
men of the Union Pacific selection.
Senator Depew figured as negotiator in
this deal and his stake was reelection
to the seat he now holds in the upper
house of congress. For a long time
back Hartman and Rockefeller have
been ambitious to take over formally
the New York Central, in which they
had a larger ownership interest than
the Vanderbilts.
The trouble was in making the
change too suddenly and in way
to anger w. K. Vanderbilt and there-
by ALLEVIATE the entire Vanderbilt fam
lily. Any sudden and spectacular with
drawal of the Vanderbilts from New
York Central would have a bad mar
ket influence, the family prestige con-
tributing not little to the senti-
mental regard with which the prop
erty is held by the investing public.
w. K. Vanderbilt was weary of Of
fetal connection with the railroad sys-
tenn, but could see no way to step
down without the surrender of dig
nifty. Senator Depew, in his capacity
as chairman of the board, was large
ly fgurehead and he, too would have
been glad to quit. His need of votes
to secure his reelection to the United
States senate suggested a solution of
the central problem. Through him an
arrangement was effected whereby Mr..
Vanderbilt disposed of his Central in
terests to Hartman and Rockefeller
one of the conditions being that the
former would bring Governor Odell
into line for Depew. Mr.. Harriman's
influence with Odell is paramount and
hint from that quarter was sufficient
to induce the executive to abandon
Frank Black and turn the Odell con-
trolled legislative votes over to Depew.
Here for the first time is revealed the
mystery of Odell's desertion of Black
and his senatorial cause.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-18
Road Gains by Change

Practical railroad men say that while
New York Central may temporarily
lose ground in the sentimental esti-
nation of the investment public, the
change just inaugurated will be to the
substantial advantage of the property.
1t will unquestionably secure an i'm
mense amount of new business on ac-
count of relations with the Union Pa
cific, and it will have the further ad-
vantage of an active, progressive bus
mess management.
The new deal puts E. H. Hartman
still further in the foreground as the
most important railroad factor in the
United States. He and his close
friends control more mileage than any
other combination, which was the
dream of old Commodore Vanderbilt,
Coils P. Huntington, Jay Gould and
other great railroad magnates and con-
structors.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-18

tinuance Of the roads standing IN the
world Of transportation, and particu-
larly in reference to its bushes rivalry
with Pennsylvania. The consequences
was that while the great Pennsylvania
was making tremendous strides for
ward New York Central dragged be-
hind. It not only failed to keep pace
with the cassatt road. but continually
lost prestige and position. The diff
ference between the two properties was
that which is seen everywhere when
business management goes to sleep and
leaves the field to more enterprisine
competitors.
The Vanderbilt family will now take
its place among the pretentious non
producers. After half century Of
vigorous life It will cease to be an
active factor in transportation and will
he important only to investment in
terests. The combined wealth of the
family approximates $3.50, 900, 900, and as
long as It avoids utter profiigacy in
expenditures in must be taken into ac-
count by the banking and investment
elements. The last really active mem-
Der of the family is Cornelius Van
derbilt, grandson Of the founder Of
the Vanderbilt financial dynasty When
he died his younger brother, William
K, became the active head Of the
financial establishment. He was very
busy for year or more and then took
notion that he liked the old world
better than the new and spent his
time principally in Paris and other Eu-
ropean capitals. He became strictly
pleasure seeker, leaving his import
ant business affairs on this side to
look after themselves.

Reward for odeII

Where the Odell reward comes in re-
mains to be seen. He has been slated
for the presidency of one of the Har-
riman corporations and his name has
been most frequently mentioned in
connection with Southern Pacific and
Pacific Mail. 1t is not far cry to
shift him to the presidency of New
York Central or the craftsmanship of
its board of directors. In either of these
positions he would be able to retain
a goodly share of his political power
which is just now seemingly in jeop-
ardy.
Wall street was slow to believe that
New York Central has actually passed
into the control of the Union Pacific
party, but such is unquestionably the
case. So much has been said lately
about the probable fate of New York
Central that every fresh yarn is met
with lifted eyebrows and sneering skep-
ticism. 1t has been known for years
that the Vanderbilts were loosening
their grip on the Central and were
passing into a state of inactivity. But
very few had clear ideas as to what
was to be the destiny of the great
chain of properties built up by three
generations of Vanderbilts. OF those
on the very inside comparatively few
ever seriously thought that Mr.. Har-
riman would eventually gain domi-
mating influence over New York Cen
trail. yet precisely that condition has
come to pass.
Actual knowledge of the transfer OF
w. X Vanderbilt's interests to the
possession of William Rockefeller did
not become known even to the intimate
friends of either until Tuesday morn
ing, and efforts to gain confirmation
of the report were met by technical
denials by both Mr.. Vanderbilt and
Mr. Rockefeller. The trouble of the
matter is that the news was sprung
before either party was ready for 1t
to become public property. Neverthe-
less the deal was consummated and
the details will be officially announced
in due time. Its terms involve a re-
construction of the existing board of
directors and the election of a con-
trolling number of directors represent
ing Union Pacific interests. The newly
organized combination includes not
only New York Central. but st. Paul
as well, and in all probability Chicago
Great Western. Just where Chicago

Grand Army of the Republic, he issued
orders in regard to keeping green the
memory OF the brave boys in blue,
had no doubt been called TO the custom
of The Southern people of annually SET
ting apart day "to pay reverence 10
those who sacrificed their lives for
principle that was dearest and nearest
to their hearts" He says:
"The women of the South were ever
assiduous in their care of the resting
places of their dead. perhaps because
of the customs peculiar on this side or
the Atlantic to Mobile and New Or
leans. where on All Souls Day each
wear the cemeteries were carpeted with
untold myrlads of rare and costly How
ers strewn by devoted hands over the
graves of the beloved dead.
During the contest between the
States the women and children of the
South delighted to bring flowers and
evergreens to decorate the graves or
the martyrs to their cause. AS the
spring brought the anniversary OF the
doomsday of the "lost cause" the fair
women of Southland instituted another
and a special day in honor of their be-
loved soldiers, and the pathos of the
devotion was the deeper in that the
sacrifice of their lives had been made,
seemingly, all in vain.
