SHEA WINS IN
TRANSFERS
QUARREL
FIGHT FOR PRESIDENCY
LEADS TO SPLIT IN UNION
DiSCOntented Delegates With
draw and Launch Movement
for Rival Organization to Un-
dermine Brotherhood,

Chicago, Aug. 9.--Cornelius P.
Shea was elected to succeed himself
as president of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters in the con-
vention of that body today. The del
egates who bolted yesterday contin-
ued to absent themselves and took no
part in the election. The vote for
president stood 1853 for Shea and Is
for John White of New York. The
eitire ticket named or approved by
Shea went through without any seri-
GUS opposition. G., +. O'Neill of Buff
falo and j. Geary of st. Paul were
made vice presidents and James
Welch of New Orleans and John
Longstreet of Cincinnati were elected
trustees. The other officers were
chosen from the Chicago men. The
victory won by Shea is marred only
by the dissension which led to the
withdrawal yesterday of nearly fifty
delegates and the launching of a
movement to organize a rival inter
national union. The secession move
ment was kept alive today by a num-
ber of Shea's enemies, who have en-
listed the disqualified delegates from
New York. San Francisco, and St.
Louis and declare they will elect Of
ficers of their own and try to under
mine the old organization.
1t was stated tonight that the con-
vention of the seceders would con-
tinue for several days. Today's ses-
sion of this body was devoted to the
framing of a constitution.
In the meantime Frank Morrison.
secretary, and John b. Leonard, treas
urer of the American Federation Of
Labor, will endeavor to bring about
an adjustment of the split in the
teamsters ranks. a..

White Metal Required at Mints
for Manufacture of SubSidi-
airy CoinS-FirSt Purchase
in Years.
HUNDRED THOUSAND
OUNCES NEEDED WEEKLY
Purchase to Be Distributed So
As to Have Little Effect
Upon the Price in the Open
Market,

Washington, Aug. 9,--For the first
time in thirteen years the government
announced today its purpose to pur-
chase silver for coinage purposes.
Tenders are invited at the office of
the director of the mint in this city
on Wednesday, the 18th instant, up
to / o'clock p. M, and every We'd
nesday thereafter until further notice.
These tenders are to be for delivery
at Philadelphia, New Orleans or Den
yer mints settlement to be on the
New York basis of bullion guaranteed
999 fine. The treasury reserves the
right to reject all tenders or accept
such part of any tender as may suit
its convenience. 1t is understood that
anticipating that its temperance as
a purchaser might temporarily dis
turb the market unduly, the treasury
has obtained control of a considera-
BILE amount for future delivery, so
that 1t Is in position to drop out
of the market for several months if
desirable. The average requirements
of the treasury throughout the year
will probably not exceed 100000 ounc-
es per week, and it will be the policy
of the department, while keeping a
reasonable amount on hand, to so dis
tribute it's purchase throughout the
year that its demand will be uniform
and not an element of uncertainty in
the market.
From the resumption of specie pay
ments in 1879 down to the year 1900
the constant increase in the stock of
subsidiary coin required by the grow
ing population and trade of the coun-
try was supplied by the recoinage of
old and undercurrent subsidiary coins
which accumulated in the treasury
under the redemption act. In 1900,
as this stock was running low, author
ity was granted in the monetary act of
March Ia to the secretary of the
treasury to divert bullion purchased
under the act of July IA, 1890, for
the coinage of silver dollars to the
coinage of subsidiary pieces. Under
this authority about $433,OOO.OOO has
been coined since 1900.
The stock of bullion in the treas
ury was exhausted more than a year
ago, and since then no bullion has
been available for the subsidiary use.
The stock in the treasury had be-
come so low that 1t was APPARENT. ac-
cording to the department, that tho
demands of constantly enlarging
trade could not be met without addi-
tional coinage. The secretary of the
treasury was in doubht whether ex-
listing statutes authorized him to buy
bullion for this purpose and, more
over, was Of the opinion that 1t would
be a better policy to meet future de-
mands for subsidiary coin by the re-
coinage of silver dollars in the treas
ury and so recommended to congress.
Congress, however, failed to act up
on his recommendation. Secretary
Shaw requested an opinion from the
attorney general as to his authority
to purchase bullion for this purpose
under the existing law, and he re-
ceived a favorable reply, based on Sec
tion 1926 of the revised statutes. The
policy now announced was according
ly determined upon.

New York, Aug. 9.-At the annual
meeting of the stockholders of Wells
Fargo & Co. held in this city today
the ticket of thirteen directors headed
by E. H. Hartman and composed of
members of the present board, was
elected over a ticket named by coun-
sci for Walter c. Stokes, who has
been leading an Opposition" move
ment among the stockholders. AL
though the voting began early in the
day the result was not announced till
late this evening, the listing, proxies,
ETC., being carried on under the clos
est scrutiny. The full vote of the
Hartman ticket was 47,56S, to 26,216
for the Stokes representatives Not
only did the Hartman administration
elect their directors, but they also
succeeded in defeating every propo-
sition advanced by the opposition
party.
After the final vote on the election
of trustees had been announced the
votes on several resolutions at the
meeting were also given out. The re-
suits showed that the resolution of
fered by Samuel Untermyer, counsel
for Mr.. Stokes, to increase the divi-
dend rate by declaring an extra dlvi-
dend of z per cent to the dividend
rate of 9 per cent already declared
this year. was lost, as we'll as the res
olution offered in favor of declaring
annually hereafter a dividend on the
basis of 16 per cent A resolution
calling for the appointment Of com
mlttee to investigate the affairs OF
the company also was lost
A resolution offered by William
Nelson Cromwell, counsel for tho
Ia f.IsiT mo rtx ttbt, In,
called for the appointment of com
mittee to examine the affairs OF the
company with regard to its loans,
etc, was adopted,
Mr.. Cromwell's resolution, offered
in behalf of the administration which
recommended that the matter OF
printing the contents of the annual
report be left to the discretion of the
board of directors, was adopted. This
was one of the matters which caused
much discussion at the meeting the
minority stockh olders demanding that
all the report be printed.
A resolution was carried, offered
by Mr.. Cromwell, which recommends
that the entire question of increasing
the dividend rate be left to the board
of directors for action.
After the meeting adjourned Mr.
Stokes sent a letter to President Ev-
ans of the company in which he said
in part:
Although we have been unable to
select our ticket, and cannot there
fore control the action of the new
| board, we still insist that the views
of such a large number of sockhold-
ers should not be entirely ignored.
They, one and all, demand that you
put the stock on 16 per cent basis
and that hereafter the very large sur
plus that you now hold may be only
moderately increased thus insuring 10
the present generation a more liberal
increase in their income from this In
vestment. II this practice Is persist
ed in, we believe the courts will rec
tlfy 1t and give the stockholders the
desired relief"

New York Aug. 9.-An attempt
which was made late today to adjust
the difficulties between the six rail-
road companies having terminals in

the Lehigh Valley railroads, which
were most seriously affected by the
strike, declined to accede to the de-
mands of the striking crews for an in
crease of wages of $5 to $40 a month
and declared that they would fill the
places of the strikers with new men.
The movement of freight of the
roads named from their terminals in
New Jersey and Staten Island to New
York City was badly crippled, and
many carloads of freight were stalled
in the yards on the west bank of the
Hudson river. 1t is said that IL the
strike continues there will be a heavy
loss to shippers of fruits and vegeta-
bles and other perishable freight and
much inconvenience to New Workers.
