which claimed that the yield of the
state would be the second largest o.!

EXCITING BUYING.
OF Hartman Stocks BY Hoard OF Spec
ulators Followed Unfounded Ru'
mors Of Dividends.

New York, Aug. l5.-Today's stock
market was made up in overwhelming
proportion of the excited speculation
in the Hartman Pacifics. The back
bone of this movement was the con-
centrated buying OF two stocks by
commission houses, usually credited
with conducting operations IN the
stock market for capitalists who were
in control Of the railroad properties.
Eagerly following the movement was
a cloud of spectators of all degrees OF
prominence down to the small room
traders. The character Of the main
buying was accepted as evidence OF
the conclusion of important plans re-
garding the properties. 1t was as
sumed confidently that the increase in
dividends of the Union Pacifis had
been determined and that dividend
payments would be initiated on the
Southern Pacific yearly rate for the
latter being most commonly assumed
at per cent, but with conjecture run
ming to a higher rate. There was a
current supposition that the relation
of ST Paul to these properties was al
| so involved in the coming develop
ment and that some form of control
of that property, either by issue OF
bonds in exchange for stocks or other
wise was in contemplation. These
various surmises still lack authentic
confirmation. In the final hour OF
trading. the two Hartman stocks moy-
ed up TO their previous record prices

FISHERIES DISPUTE
NOT SETTLED
Correspondence Leading to
Modus Vivendi in the
international Controversy
BRITAIN'S FIRM STAND

LONDON, Dec. S.-The correspopd-
ence between the State Department at
washington and the Foreign ONCE here
and that between Newfoundland and
tile Colonial Office detailing the circum
stances leading to the establishment of
the fisheries modus vivendi was pub
lished here today. While the tone is
concilistory, it shows that wide
chasm remains to be bridged The dis
patches commenced In October, 1905,
with letters from Secretary Root to
Eplbassador Durand. asking for an
early interview on the subject of the
fisheries, and explaining at length the
United States view of her treaty
rights and urging that Great Britain
take steps to secure the repeal of the
Newfoundland laws conflicting there
with. Foreign Secretary Grey on Feb
ruary last, through ambassador
Reid, dealt at length with Roots OBJ
servations and said he regretted that
he was unable to assent thereto with
out important qualifications. Reid no.
tilted SECRETARY Grey February that
Root disagreed with him.
ambassador Reid added:
II am instructed to ask for such ac-
ton as will prevent any interference on
any ground by officers of the New
foundland Government with American
fishermen when they go to exercise
their treaty rights on the Newfound-
land coast during the approaching fish
ing season"
Secretary Grey, replying August IA,
said he observed with much regret
that the wide divergence in the views
of the two governments disclosed by
the correspondence makes it hopeless
to expect an immediate settlement" but
he was ready to confer with the United
states Government with the view of ar
ranging a modus vivendi applicable
only to the ensuing season.
On September II Reid wrote Secre-
tary Grey to the effect that the Gov
eminent of the United States "hears
with the greatest concern that the
divergence of views renders an imme-
date settlement impossible and sug-
gesting the terms of the medtfs vivendi-
These were accepted by Secretary Grey
September %. whereupon Reid was au-
tborized to ratify them.
All the communications of the de-
'partment to the Foreign Office were
forwarded by the Colonial Office to the
Newfoundland government. The Secre-
..tary for the Colonies, Lord Elgin. re-
peatedly urged a ulodificatiop and a
holding in allegiance OF the Newfound-
land ordinances to which objection was
taken, and he unequivocally notified the
Newfoundland Ministers that he was
unable to assent TO their view that the
enforcement of the fishing act of 1906
was a matter OF purely local concern
The Secretary for the Colonies insisted
strongly on the right of the imperial
government to intervene in questions
touching the relations OF the British
empire with foreign states.
In the last communication published
Newfoundland was still depreeatfns tft
arrangement conserving TO the use of
purse seines and the engagement of 10
cal fishermen for work on American
boats.
