w AsHINGTON, May 2e.-The virginians and Ken
w tuckians in the city moaning another
outrage that has been perpetrated by an unsympa-
thetic person who has conception Of the traditions
of the south and who is apparently determined that
the cruel wounds caused by the civil war shall never
heal. --
Most every Virginian and most every Kentuckian
is ready to meet northerners in good way and
tribute to them of the human qualities Still,
when northerner comes to town like this, which
as everybody knows, is southern town-hear them
yell when the band plays 'Dixie''- and does what
norherner has DONE it shows that the south was
right and the north wrong for northern folks judged
by this sample, can be Of account nohow. 49,
This northern has had the lack of delicate ap-
probation of what is sacred in the sunny south to
vent mint juep in which he uses Scotch whskey in
stead Of bourbon Everything else is the same fresh
mint, sugar, ice and all that but he puts in fine
grade of Scotch It is sacrlege, of Kentuck
ians and Virginians have right to protest Still,
those who drink them say they great.

New York.-A financial battle, with
s25,O00,0 900 in cash and the control OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul rail-
way system, is on between j. Pierpont
Morgan and L. H. Hartman.
In the battle are involved twice as
many millions of dollars and three
times as many thousands of miles Of
railroad as were represented in tho
famous fight for possession of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, which re-
suited in the memorable Northern Pa
cific corner, when the price of that
stock was rushed up to $1,000 a share
and a panic In Wall street followed.
The opposing forces consist of ]. P.
Morgan, James ]. Hill and their
friends, foreign capitalists, on one side,
and E. II. Hartman, practical owner
of the Union-Southern Pacific roads,
with Sir William Van Horne, Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy. as controllers of
tho vast Canadian Pacific system,
with their friends. on the other.
Remaining neutral for the time be-
ing, but inclined to throw their weight
to Hartman, are James H. Smith and
William Rockefeller. as principal
stockholders in the st. Paul.
On the outcome of the war depends
whether the St Paul road is to be ex-
tended to the coast, for which purpose
a $25,000,000 new stock issue was
voted, in a northerly direction. and SO
