IS HILL AT PEACE
WITH HARTMAN?
R,1mor in Wall Street Has Merger
Warfare Over and Settle
~- ment Arranged.
New York Sun Special Service.

New xork Bun special Service. -. ~.
New York, Jan 12.-The report that
a settlement in the Northern Securities
ease had been practically reached by the
Hill and Hartman interests, was con-
frmed today by a high official Of a big
western railroad, which has considerable
at stake in the matter. He added:
undoubtedly events are progressing
toward final settlement of this tire;
some and expensive litigation that will
be generally satisfactory to everybody.
Burlington is to play very prominent
part in the settlement. II
cit is probable that the Hartman in
terests are to have an important voice
in the, control Of Burlington. They do
not care anything about Northern Pa
cifc beyond the fact that under the
present arrangement it controls Jointly
with the Great Northern the Burlington
road. The strong financial interests OF
the country are anxious to see peace
and their good offices are being used to
that end. I think it safe to say that
an early settlement is at hand.o
There is a story in Wall street that
the relations between J. P. Morgan and
J.J. Hill are no longer as cordial al
they were.
Financial interests generally demand
the settlement Of the fight in order that
the enormous sums held up in Great

dends may be disbursed. Mr.. Hill thus

DEMANDS TREATIES
AS FIRST SIGNED
President Will Withdraw Arbi-
tration Conventions If They
Are Enasculated.

Washington, Jan. l2.-If the arbltra-
tion treaties now pending before the
United States senate are emasculated.
I'll '-president will Withdraw them from
cl snderation President Roosevelt has
LET This be understood clearly. At the
conference last Saturday between MN MN
and prominent men of the senate and
house of representatives, the president
informed the senators that he desired
the arbitration treaties to be ratified.
In his opinion, such action is OF the
highest Importance. He desired them
TO know that h. would not permit the
pending treaties to be radically changed,
as it has been intimated they might be
in the course of their consideration by
the senate. He says frankly that rather
than have the treaties affected in princl~
pie by their consideration in the senate,
he would absolutely withdraw them.
southerners Are Opposed.
Treaties are opposed in their present
form by southern senators who, 40 not
wish to have their states involved by
reason of bonds held abroad and which
have been repudiated by the states.
The treaties now pending were nego-
tiated by Secretary Hay with II the e. rePae
were signed in Washington. The con-
ventions entered into were with France,
Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Portugal,
Switzerland, Spain and Austria Hun
gary. The president and Secretary Hay
felt, in negotiating the treaties, that a
long step toward universal arbitration
been taken. Both have expressed sur
prise that an, attitude inimical to the
conventions should have been assumed
by some senaors. The president has
expressed the hope that this attitude
may not be maintained successfully, as
not only the people of America, but the
people Of the world, as represented in
the conventions, are anxious that these
negotiations looking to peaceful settle
ment of questions which otherwise
might cause war, should be concluded.
Agency to Preserve Peace.
The president has impressed upon
members of the congress particularly of
the senate, that he regards arbitration
treaties and a formidable American
navy as the best assurance Of peace the
United States possibly could assure. He
therefore told several callers that he
wanted the treaties ratified and the ma
val program carried out without serious
modification.

RUSSIAN STRIKERS
LOOT, BURN, KILL
Six Thousand Oil Well Laborers
Throw Baku District Into
! Wild Disorder.
New York Sun Special Service.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 12.-More than
six thousand workingmen. are in open
revolt in the Baku petroleum district.
Forty Cossack have been killed in the
last three days in conflicts with
the men and 100 severely wounded .~
The government authorities say they
have been melted by anarchists, and it
is given out that some of the men who
struck for better pay and shorter hours
have already returned to their tasks,
while more will do so at once.
Nevertheless, the reign of terror con-
tinues. The revolving workmen pillage
and murder day and night, and many Of
the more than two hundred oil wells
they set fire to in their rage are still
burning.
The government has been utterly I'M
able to suppress the uprising, which has
taken the widest, most unrestrained
form ever known in Russia.
Thirty-two American owners of wells
are sufferers to a large amount. The
damage alrea ay will run up into mill
ions. The, petroleum exchange at Baku
was panicky yesterday, the price of oil
advancing.

up the highways.
s2 Use Is a Political Right. 55s
In a word, the use Of the public road
is, by all tradition, a ''political right''
and not a matter of contract between
two private individuals. The right has
been modified to a certain extent by
the fact that steam and rail equipment
have been added to the improvements Of
the highway, and that the burden Of
this addition as well as the profits to be
reaped from their use and ownership,
have been turned over to individuals in
stead of being handled by the village,
town, county, parish, state or nation,
representing the public at large.
But the point is made that the high
way remains the highway still; and
that rights of the public in fair use
Of it are the same as when it was the
old dirt road, subject only to fair
and equal toll to compensate the private
capital which has installed the modern
scientific equipment.
This is the argument Of the admins

the government is trying to interfere
with "private interests Railroad in
terests are not 'private and there is
every reason in justice for government
action to protect the weak and lowly

Valuable Themselves, as Are Also
Their ByprOducts.
The preparation of oil from aquatic
animals for both medicinal and tech
nical purposes is of great importance.
The principal Oil producers are the
whales, porpoises,. blackfish, seals, wal
rus, menhaden, herring, cod, haddock,
pollock, hake, cusk, ling, shark, dogfish,
alligator and turtle.
Various subsidiary products are OBJ
tanned from these aquatic oils and
form a source of considerable profit to
the refiner. Among the more important
Of these productA may be noted the
following:
At a low temperature there may be
separated from all varieties of aquatic
oils solid fat or grease known as
"foots" or 'stearin" which is somewhat
similar to the tallow obtained from
sheep and oxen. 1t is used. as a substi-
tute for tallow from sheep and oxen
in sizing yarns, as emollient in leather
dressing, etc. BY bleaching the oils a
semisolid fat known as ''sperm soap"
whale soap,' "menhaden SOAP" ETC.,
according to the variety Of Oil treated,
Is produced. This material is used In
smearing sheep, washing fruit trees,
soap manufacture, etc. BY refining
