Special Correspondence OF The
Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE art
of national legislator most CRATE
fully appreciated by the financial
feudalism which he may represent
at Washington is that of conducting
himself so that he does not make
a mess of it.
The Honorable Chauncey Mitch
ell Depew, LII. D., junior senator
from New York, in his six years
service in the higher branch of the
national legislative body, had phe-
nomenal success, until recently, in
avoiding "messes."
Laugh and the world laughs
with you-"
Depew laughed his way into po-
litical distinction.
Smiles covered any little failing
he might have in congress when
the best interests of the whole peo-
pie were pitted against the best
interests Of the railroads. "Ha,
ha," cried he. "Ha, ha," cried. we.
Alas! Punchinello has suffered a

Standard forced the railroads to is
sue an order that OH would not be
received for points where there
were no receiving tanks. Before
this order was promulgated the in
dependents distributed their oil
from the tanks on the cars on side
tracks, while the Standard owns
receiving tanks at all distributing
points. This was the 1nal blUy to
some of the strongest OF the inde-
pendents and they withdrew from
the field.
1t is a matter of record that as
soon as the Independents quit the
price of oil doubled and tribled. The
retailer made as much profit as
before because his prices advanced
at a corresponding figure to those
of the trust. 1t was the consumer
who got the hooks.
In this city before the trust drove
L. c. Lehman from the field oil sold
for 7 to 10 cents gallon. AS soon
as he quit the price jumped to 20
and % cents a gallon.
Atty. Gen. Hadley is a young
man not many years from college,
but he is fighter. He entered up.
on his present duties with the best
record ever made by public pros
ecutor in Kansas City.

Everyone knows how Depew, as
a young lawyer, became the conf
dant of Commodore Vanderbilt and
how his position continued in the
Vanderbilt family and descended
to the sons of that famous house.
The protection of inherited wealth
has been Depew's trade and bust
ness in life.
In the Equitable, Depew was Jas.
Hazen Hyde's friend. He recon-
mended that Hyde's salary be in
creased to 100000. Depew was
likewise Harriman's friend. The
smiling senator has never clearly
shown what extraordinary service
he gave to the Equitable that he
should receive a retainer of $4,000
a year.

DEPEW DEEP IN MILLIONS.

Wall street sees much of Senator
Depew. The mystery is how he
can find time in which to attend
the sessions of congress. He is a
director and officer of no less than
70 corporations.
Among other enterprises, Depew
is included in the directorates of
46 railroad companies, eight banks,
trust and security companies, five
mining concerns, three bridge
buildings firms, the Western Union
Telegraph company and a cemetery
association.
He has recently announced his
resignation from the Equitable Life
Assurance society directorate. The
capital of the 70 concerns he is still
serving aggregates many millions.
