stllI Aiter HaIrIman.

New York, Feb, 2S.-While E. Il.
Hartman finished his testimony yester.
day, the Interstate Commerce Commiss-
ion in session here 10 still hot on his trail.
They will FIRST Of all investigate further
the most glaring incidents OF Harrimsn's
finance yet brought to light. This has TO
do with the 81 mile branch of the ChIca-
go and Alton Railroad near Springfield,
III. Fcom ooe Wall street point OF view,
everything was done to make it 8 conf
pIete railroad. The Chicago and Alton
issued more stock. On top OF the stock
ponds were issued covering the branch
line; the bonds were sold aud the money
disbursed. Only one little detail was
overlooked. The road was never built.
When the Rock leland people bought
the line they got the stocks and the bonds
but no tracks, no cars. no locomotives,
aud no money. This revelation has
made the commissioners eager to ask
Hartman what is railroad, anyway ?
Wall street is by no means unanimous
as 10 the effect of there revelations.
The large Hartman following sees the
stock market dtmoralized aDd gilt-edged
securities striking new low records every
day. There is, however, q conservative
element in the street which believes the
exposure will be OF eventual benefit.
This element is Of the opinion that Hsr-
nman and his associates are riding for a
TALL and if they had gone on unchecked
there would have been a real panic and
not mere stock furry as at present.
No real American interest, they say, is
likely to be affected By wholesale squeez-
ing out of water from Hartman stocks.
Ii is further pointed out by this element
that the insurance revelations, instead OF
causing panic, resulted in healthier
condition OF business aud the placing OF
insurance business on a sOunder basis
than it had been in years.
