SPECIAL 20 The Washington Herald
New York. April 1I.-Under Wall street
to-day is seething volcano. which
threatens at any moment TO burst forth.
Edward II. Hartman. who. bur a short
time ago assumed dictatorship among the
railroad kings OF the country, is now
face 10 face with what IN all likelihood
viii prove TO be his death struggle.
Quietly but with "a grimness Of deter
mination that indicates that the fight
must be TO the death, financial leaders
of the country are lining up for a mighty
struggle. Opposed to Hartman viii be
the most powerful clique ever brought
together in American financial circles.
It has been stated and denied that
Jacob H. Schin, head Of the banking
house Of Kuhn, Loeb s, Co, and Harri-
man have had a falling out 1t may now
be stated positively that the internecine
war which has begun has irrevocabIy
driven the two apart and that Mr. Schiff

ing treasury, has been. so potent a factor

SchifT Leads Forces.
That Mr.. Sehin IS now the virtual
head Of the forces that are allied against
Hartman is certain. But fully as i'm
portant is it that Henry c. Frick. who
has been regarded as Hartman lieu
tenant, is to-day in the opposition camp.
That FriCk is now aligned with Schiff
in the fight is evidence that he shares the
view of the latter that il is time 70 unload
Hartman. With these two are James s.
Spever. of the firm Of SDeyer q Co. and
Thomas +. Ryan. who long since aroused
the ire of Hartman by obtaining the Hyde
holdings in the Equitable. At the present
moment a truce exists between the two
forces. and this will continue until con-
ference may he had with James Sullman.
president Of the National City Bank, and
also a director Of the Union Pacific.

The old story about history re-
peating itself applies we'll to the Ar.
kansas valley at times. A perusal ol
the columns of papers published
twenty years ago shows that nearly
every town along the valley had g
cross railway mapped out, and that
condition prevails again just now
Tho striking point about the mush
room roads today is that they all
start at your own town on the SAINTS
Fe and end at some village on the
prairies of Texas. The similarity is
carried out also in the amount oi
stock, bonds, cash bonus and right
of way that the citizens Of the fa-
vorsd town must come forward with.
La Junta, Las Animss, Lamar, Syr-
scuse and Garden City have been ia
vored with propositions from these
generous capitalists, aud no doubt
the smaller towns will be "jollied''
by these gentlemen whom the larger
places have turnsd them down. We
don't want to knock on any PROPOSE
ton that will help the valley, but
these gentlemen are offering to build
more railways than even this great
farming region can support.
