SENATOR PLATT, who has just cele-
brated his 72d birthday says that his
life "has not been worth while" and ''if
he had it to do over again would re
model his political life along different
lines" This sounds remarkable, and
yet how many there are in other voca-
tions who feel the same way. The
man who is satisfied with himself and
the way he has lived is an exception.
None of us are perfect and we could all
uss how decided improvement if we
had it to do over again.
JAMES M. BECK, in his address to the
New York State bankers the other day,
on "Moneyphobia, refuted the idea
that we are money loving people. mo
people, said he, ''of any time or Cline
ever cared less for money when earned
than we" He asserted that the entire
edifice Of the commercial world rests
upon fair dealing. The true capital of
the banker is confidence. There are un-
questionably broken contracts, but their
number is infinitesimal in comparison
with the many that are kept with scru-
pulous fidelity. We hear of many de-
falcations and breaches Of trust, but we
must remember that the means of pub
licity are thousandfold rgreater than
ever before and that the opportunities
for such recreancy are q thousandfold
greater than in any other age. There
are more faithless bank clerks because
there are more bank clerks, but how
few are the saithless in comparison with
the faithful

GOULD FORCES
HARTMAN OUT
SAID TO HAVE CONTROL IN

Some Authorities Think That Heavy
Selling Has Beer Caused by Pres
ent Prices Being UnduIy
High
MANY SHARES CHANGE HANDS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, March 15.-Financiers in
LaSalle street and railroad men today
received authoritative statements that
Gould has forced Hartman out Of
Union Pacific; that Hartman is out Of
stock, and that his selling has been
done in anticipation of his retirement
from the position of controlling factor
In Union Pacific and other Kuhn-Loeb-
Rockefeller properties.
Mr.. Hartman has had several serious
tits with his associates In the last few
years, and for a long time, in 10000,
he was actually at swords points with
George j. Gould. The men who feel
certain that Hartman is to retire are
equally certain that Mr.. Gould will be
his successor.
In some of the dispatches from New
York to the Lasalle street houses the
rumor that Hartman is to retire is
discredited, but at the same time they
readily concede that he has recently
been very heavy seller Of Union
Pacific shares. They argue, however,
that his selling of stock was more
likely to have been undertaken ON he
theory that the securities were selling
his course now with similar operations
in 1901, when Union Pacific was selling
around ninety.
The market was taken away from
Hartman at that time by the Gates
crowd and the stock was rushed up to
par. Hartman openly insisted that
the stock would come back to the
level where he would be able to buy in
his stock at profit. whereupoM the
Gates interests sent the stock up .-rl-
other ten points to ITO. John w. Gates
| is said to have accumulated personal
line of more than 200 shares of Union
Pacific in this deal. Around 110 Harri-
man began to buy back his former
| holdings and his purchases ran prices
| UP to probably 100. An enthusiastic
public then began buying in large
blocks and it's bidding carried the
price up to 1873.
Those who feel positive that Harri-
man is out of the running base their
belief principally upon the fact that
there has been more or less friction
with his associates, and argues that
this has probably reached a point
where some one must step out. 1t is
boldly asserted that George Gould will
not be the man to retire and the heavy
selling by Hartman indicates that he
is the one who is tired Of the game.

DENVER, March 15.-The end of the
Peabody-Adams gubernatorial contest
will come when the anti-Peabody Re
publicans decide to bring the matter
to vote in the joint assembly. This
would be done at once were it not for
the fact that five of the twenty-five
Republicans known as Mcdonald meh
are unknown quantities and may any
moment stampede to Peabody and give
him majority. 1t is conceded on all
sides that II of the % are unalterably
in favor of retaining Governor Adams
IN the chair, and will never vote for
seating Peabody. They may eventu-
ally, in order to wind up the contest,
vote to seat Peabody temporarily, de-
pending upon him to resign and allow
Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald to sue
coed to the governorship by thus Gre
ating vacancy.
The Peabody and anti-Peabody Re-
publicans are considering the PROPOSE
tion to seat Peabody as governor with
diately resign, leaving the office to
Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald. One
of the leaders of the anti-Peabody Re-
publicans said after adjournment that
Peabody's resignation had already been
prepared, and would be placed in the
hands of his opponents if they would
agree to this proposition.

RUSSIANS STILL MOVE ON
kuropatkin's Position Regarded In
Toxic as Very Grave

Special to The Herald
TOXIC, March s16,- The Intelligence
department states that the Russian
wounded are being constantly trans
ported to Kaiyuan, twenty-five miles
north of TELLING on the confines of the
Manchurian desert Although Kaiyuan
is inferior to Telling in facilities for
Defense the exhausted Russian troops
are retreating thither.
The Japan Mail, summarizing Kuro-
patkin's dilemma, says that if he makes
stand at Tieling with the relatively
insignificant force of $50, 900 men he will
invite cutting of the railway to the
north, which will result in starvation
for the Russians. If, on the other hand,
he abandons Telling it will mean re-
,inquishment of great depot of sup
plies. 1t transcends possibility that he
can hurry his troops to Kaiyuan pre-
paratory to transporting them across
the desert to Harbin, as he would have
to entrain 10000 wounded, in addition
to caring for 10000 men, and all this
with the Japanese within six miles of
him. All indications are that the posi-
ton of the Russians is extremely grave.
The Nichi Nichi Shimbun prints all
undated dispatch stating the japanese
are within three miles of Tieling.

.SULLY AGAIN IS
KING OF COTTON
PRICES SOAR AND SHORTS ARE
STAMPEDED
He Is Backed by Strong Syndicate,
in Which Joseph H. HoadIey
Is Most Heavily
Interested

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, March 15.--Daniel Sully,
deposed King of the Cotton Pit has
come to his own again. Upon the an
nouncement Monday that he had been
discharged from bankruptcy, cotton be-
gan to soar. Yesterday every bale of
cotton in the United States increased
in value at least 81 and today the ad-
vance continues. Sully would say
nothing about rumors. He is backed
by syndicate in which Joseph H.
Hoadley is the principal character.
Led by Theodore H. Price, the bear
general, Sully's arch enemy, there was
a stampede of shorts to cover. This
was the, continuation of the tactics
adopted by Price yesterddy when he
tried to cover on ten thousand bales
and forced up the price in doing so.

PROPHES|ES WAR
WITH JAPANESE
CONGRESSMAN HULL WANTS
LARGE NAVY
FEARS LOSS OF PHILIPPINES
Chairman of the House Committee
on Military Affairs Says Coming
Struggle viii Be on
the Sea
Special to The Herald,

Special to The Herald
SIOUX CITY, Ia, March 15.-Con-
gresham j. A. T. Hull, chairman of
the house committee on military affairs,
sees promise of trouble between Japan
and America over the Philippines and
urges Increasing the navy.
II venture the prediction said
Chairman Hull, that If the Japanese
win this war we will have trouble with
then within fifteen years. The Japanese
want the Philippines, of that there is
no doubt, either in Washington or In
other capitals.
1.-THE Philippines would be valuable
to Japan and right at their door. The
Japanese fee they can whip any coun-
try on earth.
"As it seems to me the thing to do
is to begin strengthening a navy that
would be an effective preventative of
trouble. In the event of disagree
ment with Japan the navy would have
to bear the brunt of the trouble.
1T is 5000 miles to the Philippines,
too great distance to transport
troops with an effective hostile navy
lying in wait. So there could be no
land warfar1.
1.-THE only hope would lie in Destroy
ing Japan on the seas"
